Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 254: Construction of the Underworld

Space of the Dead.

Skeleton soldiers marched past in a line.

In the empty eye sockets, pale blue netherworld fire flickered.

Xu Cheng looked at them as if he was looking at soldiers who had carried weapons in their lifetime.

According to Yi Lao, most of these skeleton soldiers were those who fought with his undead army during their lifetime and were transformed after their death.

Electrolux is worthy of being the Scourge of the Undead.

No grass grows wherever it passes. The bone dragons, knight soldiers, and some strange and bizarre beasts in this undead space all come from here.

When this space was first created, it was built by Electrolux in order to observe death and understand the meaning of death.

Now the place is filled with a silent aura of death, which is slowly being controlled by him.

Xu Cheng spread out his palms.

Clusters of soul flames suddenly emerged from the bodies of the guards who had just marched in formation, floating and hovering in front of Xu Cheng, like dark lotuses, appearing particularly eye-catching and strange in the dark environment.

At the same time, the moment the soul left the body, the skeletons slowly fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"Is this life?" Xu Cheng pondered.

He could clearly sense the souls of these dead souls, but it seemed as if he had lost something.

These souls are clean, pure and flawless, just like newborn babies.

But they don't think, just like numb souls.

"Strictly speaking, they are also living things. Although they have been transformed into undead, they have possessed new life since the moment of transformation..." Alex appeared beside Xu Cheng at some point.

He had no feet and was floating like a ghost.

The two stood on a high mountain, overlooking the entire world of the dead.

"From the moment of transformation?"

Xu Cheng pursed his lips. The moment that Yi Lao described seemed like an ordinary transition between life and death.

"By the way, Mr. Yi, can you control the law of death in this world?" Xu Cheng suddenly spoke as if he had thought of something.

"Law of Death? With my current soul fragment form, it's still a little short of what I expected. But when I recover a little, I can try the Law of Death in this world." Alex pondered.

"You mean, there is no god of death in this world?" Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed.

"According to my perception, there shouldn't be any. The power of death in this world is untouched and it is very chaotic, far inferior to the world of my previous life. Otherwise, if there is a god who controls the power, even I wouldn't dare to make such a big statement." Alex said.

It is very important whether authority is held by God.

If the power of death is really held by a god, it would be extremely difficult to steal it. Unless he comes in person in his prime, forget it...

"What's up, do you have any ideas? Tell us about them, teacher." Electrolux looked at Xu Cheng with a smile.

"Do you think this world is complete?" Xu Cheng asked back.

"It's incomplete. Rather than saying it's a world, it's better to say it's a space. Because from the beginning of its construction, it was just a tool for me to explore and study death. No one would have thought that it would develop into this over the countless years." Electrolux said with emotion.

"Although the souls of these undead creatures are incomplete, they can gradually become stronger..."

"Maybe it's not incomplete..." Xu Cheng's eyes flashed with excitement.

The boundary between life and death.

The boundary between the living and the dead.

Maybe it's very close.

In other words, Yi Lao may have unconsciously touched the true transition between life and death. In simple terms, in Xu Cheng's original world, there is such a saying that after death, people are thrown into the underworld, and then Meng Po feeds them soup, and the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced God leads them. After the judgment in front of Yama, they decide whether to reincarnate or fall into the endless hell.

It was transformed from a living being to an undead being. Just now, Xu Cheng sensed its soul, which was just like that of a newborn, ignorant baby. In other words, it was like a living being thrown into reincarnation.

As for why they have not developed wisdom for so long, or grown up like human babies...

That's what's missing from this world.

After listening to Xu Cheng's explanation, Electrolux lowered his head and fell into deep thought. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder and said, "I understand what you mean, Ah Cheng. You said a lot. Perhaps this is the true meaning of death."

He let out a long breath.

"In the next period of time, I will try my best to recover my strength and prepare to devour the power of death..."

"Maybe, it's not enough." Xu Cheng closed his eyes.

Is the disorder of the death order in this world simply because there is no god of death to coordinate the overall situation?
Perhaps, there is also interference from creatures from the abyss...

Not long ago, when Xu Cheng leveraged the authority of the world of the undead and looked down at Douluo Star from the perspective of death, he discovered something was wrong.

At the dark border, countless souls are floating. Some are lucky enough to enter reincarnation through incomplete rules, while some can only float without rules, and there are no rules to guide them.

However, some creatures that do not originally belong to Douluo Star are mixed among these souls.

Of course, Yi Lao probably also noticed these, but considering the latter's personality, he probably wouldn't care about them...

In fact, there is another phenomenon that can prove the incompleteness of the law of death in the Douluo world.

That is the prevalence of evil soul masters.

Many evil soul masters rely on devouring souls to increase their strength, such as someone from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the abomination, Ye Xishui's Tower of Death. They all capture souls to work for them, and do not destroy them, but imprison them forever.

If the Law of Death was perfect, there wouldn't be so many souls imprisoned. No matter how powerful Ye Xishui was, even if he was an Extreme Douluo, he couldn't contend with the Law of Death.

Souls will enter reincarnation, rather than being tools for evil soul masters to play with at will...

A hint of excitement flashed across Xu Cheng's face.

If successful, it would be a good deed of epic proportions.

The rewards of the system are difficult to estimate.

In the original novel, the Abyss Plane is a hodgepodge in the universe, containing various kinds of creatures, collectively known as Abyss creatures, but they are substantially different from those on planets.

They wanted to devour a planet to strengthen themselves, and set their sights on Douluo Star.

And our God King Tang San finally discovered the drawbacks of Douluo Continent - the conflict between humans and soul beasts, and the fact that if things continued to develop, all kinds of resources would be exhausted, so he launched a ten thousand year plan.

Attract the Abyss Plane, suppress the strong ones in it by yourself, and guide Douluo Star to gradually devour the Abyss Plane.

But what they didn't expect was that, halfway through, the God Realm was swept away by a space storm...

So Douluo Star faced the covetous Abyss Plane, and the human world faced powerful Abyss Plane creatures, suffering heavy casualties.

Let’s not talk about the outrageous behavior of King Tang here. What Xu Cheng is more interested in is why these abyss creatures appeared so early?
Could it be... that this is the work of the God King Tang again?
But it's also a good thing.

Xu Cheng flashed a smile.

"Mr. Yi, this world is still missing something..."

"What's missing?" Electrolux touched his chin and asked curiously.

"It's missing a river, it's missing the power of judgment, and it's missing a name." Xu Cheng smiled.

"The underworld!"
