The Spirit World

Chapter 824: Disagreement on Immortality
“I haven’t eaten lamb either.”

Xun Huangying was lying in a pot, kicking the hot water with chopped green onions floating in it with his two hooves.

It was like a goose playing in the water, stretching its neck to look at the soldiers watching. The hot bracket made everything here truly look like it was after the fire.

"To be honest, I haven't eaten it either..." Sinokos sprinkled some salt into the pot. In front of Xunhuangying's white wool, the salt had too many impurities and looked a little dark yellow. However, Xunhuangying's wool would not be stained by the boiling water at all. Therefore, the sheep and everything in the pot seemed out of place.

"It should be delicious, right?"

Xunhuangying splashed water and looked at Sinoquos who was sniffing coriander and garlic. Sinoquos had a happy look on his face and was excited about having a lamb dinner.

"Who's the most powerful one among you?" Xun Huangying leaned against the edge of the pot and took a comfortable bath with a sound of "Pang... Pangnapo... General? That's his name, right? I feel like you're quite afraid of him... Is he the leader of this place?"

"It's our leader."

Sinoquos threw the cilantro and garlic down. Due to the lack of sunlight, most of these vegetables that needed sunlight to grow were very small, and the withering and saving of the trees was imminent.

Everything related to sunlight is constantly being destroyed.

"General? So impressive? How many people are there in your regiment?"

Xunhuangying answered nonchalantly, and Sinokos also answered very naturally, with no intention of concealing anything. His eyes suddenly glowed red and flashed in front of Xunhuangying.

"We originally had a force of nearly a thousand people, but because of the heavy casualties in the siege battle with [Rainbow Chestnut Fort], now, even with the newly recruited soldiers, there are only eight teams, about four or five hundred people."

"The Undead Group, Rainbow Chestnut Castle... a thousand people? Now there are only four or five hundred people? So many people died?" Xun Huangying was a little surprised.
"Yes. General Pangnapo was seriously injured. We are staying here because of him. We have no way to go anywhere else. The monsters around us have begun to show signs of [Demonization], and they will capture this place sooner or later."

"Is that so... then..." Xun Huangying jumped out of the pot and shook off the clean water on his body at a very fast speed.

"It's over~ Haha~ But if you are going to be destroyed, it depends on whether my sheep chooses to save you... I won't make any decision for now~"

"Yes, Lord Xunhuangying..." Sinoquos slowly stood up, placed his feet on the campfire, and kicked the iron pot on it hard.

In an instant the iron pot was kicked over and poured onto the campfire, causing steam to rise into the sky. The soldiers around were startled, but they only saw Sinoquos standing there looking into the city.

They didn't understand what was happening. They only saw thick smoke billowing out of the tent as the coal fire was extinguished.

They hurried over, but the sheep had disappeared.

"Come with me." In Sinoquos's blue pupils, an extremely tiny peony petal was spinning rapidly, but because no soldier dared to look directly at their captain, they missed this subtle perception.

Xun Huangying moved instantly and naturally came to Chang Yufeng's side, but in the corridor leading to the Immortal Hall, Xun Huangying stood there, almost without saying a word, watching everything in the darkness.

Those dead bones were crawling at Chang Yufeng's feet. They didn't dare to approach Chang Yufeng at all. How could they dare to approach the old gods when they were emitting the rotten smell of the dead.

The powerful source of life force in Chang Yufeng's body makes the withered bones suffering from immortality have an instinctive desire to surrender.

Xun Huangying had a premonition that Chang Yufeng did not go far and would stay here. He looked at the piles of "undead creatures" who had lost their flesh and blood in the darkness. Under the powerful barrier, this place became their endless cage.

Even without any cover, they, no, "they" were abandoned here and became the "human scum" whose life was worse than death.

In this world, a terrible and irreversible crisis has truly occurred.

Regardless of whether they are human beings or born as dried bones, what is the meaning of their existence?

"Hell on earth...ah~" Xun Huangying sat on Chang Yufeng's shoulder again: "There is no way...From what I know, it should be because of the closure of time and space."

"what?"

Chang Yufeng glanced at the withered bones that were surrendering and praying, moved his right foot, paused for a moment, and continued to move forward into the corridor.

"In all time and space, everyone can only have one life, right?" Xun Huangying sniffed his wool.

A bad smell lingered on his body, but in an instant,

"In principle, that's true..."

Chang Yufeng frowned. There were more and more dead bones. Those human-shaped dead bones were piled up randomly, and they were even unwilling to respond to the arrival of strangers.

This tiny barrier made "them" extremely desperate.

The world of the living cannot accommodate "them", and the world of the dead cannot allow them to be reborn.

"The scary thing about immortality is not that the body disappears and only the bones remain, but the mental devastation of the originally human life, which slowly decays, slowly exposes the bones, and slowly loses some of the physical senses."

Xun Huangying added a sentence, and then answered Chang Yufeng: "Time and space are closed, and it is impossible for all people in all time and space to have a corresponding life again."

Xun Huangying's answer was very obscure, but Xun Huangying was not a person who liked to keep people in suspense, especially in front of Chang Yufeng.

"That is to say, in any time and space, those who have been fatally injured and died can no longer enjoy a life in another time and space where they were not injured or lived a good life. No matter which time and space they live in, they can enjoy their old age."

"To put it simply, they have died in a certain space-time. When the space-time closed, they were [determined] to be dead, and then they exist in the world of the main space-time in the form of immortality."

"Of course, this is only what I know. I have no idea what happened when time and space closed."

Xunhuangying shook his wool vigorously again.

Get rid of all the smells.

"..." Chang Yufeng did not reply, and everything around him began to light up. The exit was right in front of him. Those gathered bones with immortality really lacked the power to break through the barrier.

"Immortality...will rot...will lose synesthesia, and will also, lose all power?" Chang Yufeng no longer looked at the pale and withered bones that were completely unrecognizable.

They have not lost their names as human beings. If we ask them one by one what their names are, they will certainly be able to answer, but that is meaningless.

They had no clothes, no appetite, and no way to survive.

They are like peeled bananas, exposed in broad daylight, rotting and stinking silently, and then silently submerged in time and space.

As long as the Undead Corps does not leave here and the barrier is not loosened, they will be like discarded dregs all day long and will never be able to make a breakthrough.

"Humans are indeed too insignificant. They need to rely on their brains or healthy bodies. Otherwise, they are still a little lacking."

Xunhuangying did not show any emotional fluctuations.

"If their brains are also rotten, even the term 'the walking dead' would be more than enough to describe them..."

However, Chang Yufeng did not think so, and replied to Xun Huangying very calmly, leaving Xun Huangying at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.

"Obviously, we have caused too many things that shouldn't have happened, and have caused many people to suffer hardships that they shouldn't have."

He walked out of the corridor without stopping.

"This is indeed our fault. We shouldn't run away." He seemed to know that Xun Huangying would refute him, but Xun Huangying remained silent for a moment.

“Whether it’s a visible or invisible [mistake], it’s up to us to make up for it.”

Chang Yufeng was obviously a little sad.

"What do you say?"

Xun Huangying nodded and looked at the white light at the exit calmly. No one knew what he was thinking.

When Chang Yufeng was worried, Xun Huangying was also worried.

Chang Yufeng was unwilling to open his heart, and it was not the first time. Although Xun Huangying would act funny sometimes, most of the time, there was no smile on Xun Huangying's face.

They walked in silence for a while. It was drizzling, and the vegetation inside the Immortal Hall was starting to turn a little green. It looked much better than outside.

The deadlock was broken by the neighing of a horse. The one-eyed general Norav was riding this strong whipped horse and strolling outside the second inner hall.

When Norav saw Chang Yufeng, he quickly came to Chang Yufeng and stopped him.

"Please, get checked."

Norav's voice was deep, like a muffled drum.

This time there were no swords pointed at them.

Instead, Noraf dismounted and came in front of Chang Yufeng with a very respectful attitude.

"I'll probably order something this time, too. If it's the same old thing over and over again, I'll be really angry~"

Xun Huangying snorted and shouted rudely: "Aren't you sad? You want me to face so many people alone~"

"I haven't seen you." Noraf saw the talking lamb and looked at Xunhuangying curiously, but in an instant, the tiny peony petals in his eyes immediately appeared and began to spin without hesitation.

"What's your name?"

Chang Yufeng noticed Noraf's eyes and the red flash.

He glanced at Xun Huangying, who obviously knew that Chang Yufeng would seek answers, so he simply shrugged.

"I'm here to check the belongings you carry with you. The one in front is here to check if you are lurking enemies."

Nolav started talking to himself, as if Chang Yufeng didn't need to say anything at all. Nolav told him all the information here.

Xunhuangying is showing his super control power as a god.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The so-called human beings didn't make him have any sympathy. Except for Chang Yufeng - his wool, the life and death of other people were always secondary, or he didn't care.

He went to such great lengths to allow Chang Yufeng to "return to the human world" as a god. Of course, nothing was more important than Chang Yufeng.

"Our general is called General Pangnapo, also known as General Blade Flame. He possesses a broad-bladed giant sword called Scorching Fire. His strength is probably at the level of a Spirit King. He is good at fire-attribute attacks, but he is also proficient in ice-attribute attacks. He is a Spirit King who practices both ice and fire."

And Norav seemed to know this much, his eyes became dull.

"The ruler here is a man called General Pangnapo. Just as you heard, with your current strength of less than the Golden Rank, it seems difficult to do anything here."

Xunhuangying's default decision of "doing something" is naturally to find out what happened when time and space were closed.

Otherwise, subsequent countermeasures cannot be implemented at all.

"I don't know what you're thinking, so naturally I don't know how you want to make up for it...what...I don't understand anyway."

Xun Huangying felt a little better and was no longer so silent.

Chang Yufeng saw that Nolav had returned to normal, so he raised his hands and waited calmly for Nolav to search for dangerous items.

Norav had no idea what he had said.

Just as Xun Huangying said, as long as there is something missing in the human physiological structure, then a certain function will be truly missing.

The maladjustment, discomfort and unpleasantness in the physiological structure will be ruthlessly fed back, just like the so-called "diseases". Once they appear, it means that there is a problem with the human body structure and muscles.

In severe cases, it may even claim human life.

"So, if you think about it this way, can you accept it? It's your mistake."

From the very beginning, Chang Yufeng emphasized that Xun Huangying made a "mistake".

Although Xun Huangying wanted to get away with it, in his heart, the conditions for this kind of mistake did not exist at all.

In other words, the closure of time and space is a completely unimportant "result" to Xunhuangying, rather than a "wrong result".

Because of this, he does not care about humanity, nor does he care about the suffering he brings to a part of humanity.

This is consistent with Xunhuangying's logic, but it is not consistent with Chang Yufeng's logic.

Chang Yufeng did not think that this was an insignificant result, but rather a wrong result that could be made up for.

Therefore, he wanted to confirm what was left in Xun Huangying's heart.

No matter who you are, you probably won't like a cold-blooded "guy"! A "creature" with higher intelligence and a "guy" with greater power should not appear as a "killer".

No matter who wants to be a "killer" as just mentioned, anyone around Chang Yufeng, including Chang Yufeng himself, should not be a cold-blooded person.

This is not just because of sympathy, but also because what Chang Yufeng wants to do now is not the same thing that any powerful person in the Era of Destruction would do.

Just like General Pangnapo, as the absolute controller of the Immortal Hall, he sits high up on the throne because of his strength, his plunder, and his trampling on the weak.

Although we are protectors, there should be more ways to protect the weak.

If not, you should use your brain to create one!
More protection! More shelter! More!

Those who are willing to see the weak, hear the weak, and take action for the weak...

the way.

Immortality cannot be ignored no matter what.

This broken, destructive era, this world without a future, should not be ignored no matter what.
