Mushroom Man

Chapter 295 Wu Liang Dies, Road to the Underworld!
"This is Master's blessed land. How could he not know what we are doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Do what I tell you to do."

"From now on, I do not wish for anyone to question my decisions..."

Wu Liang's tone was chilling, and his eyes were icy.

Upon seeing this, Bone Master felt a chill run down his spine.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more.

But at this moment...

Fraudulent mushroom!
Without hesitation, Wu Liang overdrafted all his remaining lifespan and brazenly activated the Deception Mushroom.

In an instant, the thoughts of the previously skeptical Bone Master were subtly and instantly distorted.

'Hiss! Yeah, why am I worrying so much?'

'I'll do whatever the special envoy says, isn't that enough?'

'It seems I was overthinking things, actually suspecting that the Special Envoy was making these arrangements behind Mr. Zhuge's back.'

"This is a blessed place for Master Zhuge, and the special envoy is also a disciple of Master Zhuge."

'How could the special envoy's actions possibly escape Mr. Zhuge's notice?'

"It's quite possible that Mr. Zhuge is currently keeping a close eye on the Special Envoy, ready to intervene and protect him at any moment."

'My hesitation at this moment was utterly foolish.'

Gu Zhenren's mind sharpened. After figuring it out, he couldn't help but curse himself for being nosy and incredibly foolish.

He should have realized long ago that all of this was Mr. Zhuge's idea.

After all, the method of soul resurrection and possession that Wu Liang set up using the Immortal Soul Beast Soul-Leading Chicken was clearly something that a third-level Mushroom Master could not have come up with.

Without a doubt, this must be a longevity method specially prepared by Mr. Zhuge for the special envoy.

Bone Master naturally overlooked Wu Liang's previous strange behavior.

He immediately spoke, filled with trepidation and trepidation.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I know I was wrong."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will do my utmost to fulfill your request."

"Good." Wu Liang's lifespan had come to an end, and he had aged beyond recognition.

He smiled faintly and faced death with equanimity.

"I... depart."

As soon as Wu Liang finished speaking, his arrogant and sharp eyes lost their luster and became dull and lifeless.

All life force was completely extinguished.

He died on the spot as his lifespan was exhausted.

Wu Liang... is dead.

As Gu Zhenren watched this scene, ghostly flames flickered in his eyes, his heart filled with worry.

'Your Excellency, you absolutely must succeed!'

'If you cannot achieve it, when will I, this old man, ever become an immortal?'

Just as his thoughts were forming, the rooster that led the soul immediately raised its head and crowed to the sky.

"Giggle giggle!!!"

The loud crowing echoed throughout the entire Golden Rooster Mountain.

Within Wu Liang's withered and decaying old body, a ghostly blue soul quietly manifested.

Unlike the wandering spirit that Wu De transformed into.

Once Wu Liang's soul left his body, it exuded an unparalleled sense of oppression.

In an instant, the souls of a thousand people transformed into a hideous and terrifying vengeful ghost.

A cold wind howled, making the surroundings icy and bone-chilling.

"I am..."

Wu Liang was initially bewildered, but when he saw his own soul form emitting black smoke, his eyes regained a glimmer of clarity.

I am already dead.

After realizing this, Wu Liang did not panic; instead, he remained calm.

He seemed to sense something in his heart and looked in a certain direction.

A faint, winding, muddy path, its destination unknown, appeared there.

Wu Liangneng could clearly feel that the muddy path was calling to him.

what is that?
That is where people go after they die, the home of their souls.

"There's nothing to hesitate about, go take a break."

Wu Liang did not resist the call from the underworld and embarked on the road to the underworld without hesitation.

For him, death was not the end, but a new beginning.

If he wants to be resurrected and brought back to life, he must travel to the Yellow Springs.

Otherwise, if one lingers in the mortal world as a soul, the attraction from the underworld will become increasingly terrifying.

Once you enter the underworld, there will be no way to leave.

If that's the case, it's better to submit to the underworld and truly die once, thereby washing away the connection between the old body and the soul.

Only in this way can he, after possessing Wu De's body, be free from the disturbances of the Yellow Springs and truly live another life.

"Woo..."

As soon as Wu Liang stepped onto the road to the underworld, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic change.

This place is no longer the world of the living, but the underworld where there is no daylight.

A chilling wind swept through the area, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and howling filled the air.

There was no color in the sky or on the ground; everything was gray and white.

Faintly, one can also hear the sound of the Yellow Springs tide rising and falling.

The road to the underworld that Wu Liang was standing on was filled with all sorts of lonely ghosts and spirits.

They bared their teeth and claws, staring intently at Wu Liang with particularly greedy eyes.

For these wandering ghosts living on the road to the underworld, Wu Liang, a newly born soul who has just entered the underworld, is their best food.

The first obstacle that most souls of living beings face when they enter the underworld after death is these wandering ghosts.

However, Wu Liang was no weak or insignificant newborn soul.

Before his death, he had already imbued his soul with the power of the vengeful mushroom. Now, the vengeful ghosts formed from the souls of a thousand people are not people that these lonely ghosts would dare to provoke easily.

Therefore, these wandering ghosts only dared to follow behind him, staring at him with greedy eyes, but dared not approach rashly.

These little devils are all talk and no action.

At the same time, the road to the underworld is not only filled with wandering ghosts, but also with many mushrooms and mushroom materials that do not exist in the mushroom world.

Just like the opening of the "Chronicles of the Mushroom Man: The Dark Moon Chapter"...

The road to the underworld is filled with pain mushrooms, corpse mushrooms, rotten mushrooms, and bitter mushrooms.

It is said that the zombie-themed mushrooms were developed by those exceptionally talented individuals based on the corpse mushrooms found on the road to the underworld.

"So this is what the world after death looks like..."

Wu Liang looked around, his eyes filled with disappointment.

That's right, disappointment.

The scenery of the underworld remains unchanged throughout the ages, nothing but deathly silence, with nothing exciting to speak of.

Once a person dies, everything ends; all the excitement fades away, and there is no more hope.

Therefore, he didn't want to die; he wanted to live.

He did not want to stay in this dark, colorless underworld.

This is not his home away from home.

His true home should be that beautiful blue star.

Wu Liang stopped in his tracks, wanting to turn back and find the way he came.

However, at some point, the path they came from disappeared.

Instead, there were countless, endless dirt roads.

The road to the underworld is not one you can come to or leave at will.

Even though Wu Liang did not go deep into the Yellow Springs, but only took one or two steps on the road to the Yellow Springs, he was already separated from the human world by life and death.

In fact, there are some living people in the mushroom world who have accidentally strayed onto the road to the underworld.

Such people may, for various reasons, have their souls enter the underworld and fall into a state of suspended animation, unconscious.

However, as long as one turns back in time, it is not impossible to pull back from the brink and recover.

However, Wu Liang is quite different from this type of person.

These people are usually those whose lifespan has not yet ended, and who accidentally stray onto the road to the underworld.

Their physical bodies still have a connection with their souls, allowing the souls to find their way back through this connection.

Wu Liang, on the other hand, had truly reached the end of his lifespan and embarked on the road to the underworld after his death.

His physical body was already dead, and no longer held even the slightest attraction for the soul.

Therefore, once Wu Liang embarked on the road to the underworld, he could no longer find his way back to the mortal world.

At this moment, Wu Liang was like a headless fly, lingering on the road to the underworld.

Because they fear that wandering off might lead them to the underworld and completely destroy any hope of being resurrected.

Therefore, he dared not move an inch further and could only stand still, not daring to make any rash moves.

And as it turned out, his decision was absolutely correct.

If he dares to wander around recklessly, whether forward, backward, left, or right, he will get lost here and subconsciously approach the underworld.

At that point, it will truly be beyond saving, even by divine intervention.

Even a Nine-Turn Venerable, except for the Dark Moon Celestial Venerable, would probably have to sink to the Yellow Springs.

After all, even the Venerable Ones are not immortal; their lifespan is only ten thousand years, and they too will die.

Before the Yellow Springs, a symbol of death, no living being is exempt from the law, let alone Wu Liang, such a tiny ant.
The Yellow Springs are the Yellow Springs, and the Road to the Yellow Springs is the Road to the Yellow Springs.

On the road to the underworld, there may still be a chance of survival, but if one gets close to the underworld, there is no chance of survival.

"what happened……"

"Could something be wrong...?"

"Why haven't the Soul-Leading Chicken and Bone Immortal acted according to plan yet...?"

Wu Liang lingered on the road to the underworld for a long time, but the Soul-Leading Chicken and the Bone Immortal still did not come to his aid in returning to life as planned.

For a moment, a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

At this moment, he could clearly feel his consciousness being assimilated by the Yellow Springs.

His thoughts have become sluggish, and it is estimated that before long, his consciousness will become muddled, and he will eventually become a lonely ghost on the road to the underworld.

This result was clearly unacceptable to Wu Liang, no matter what.

What he didn't know was...

The reason he hadn't received the Soul-Leading Chicken and the Bone Immortal for so long was because his plan had encountered a major flaw.

Wu Liang completely overlooked the issue of the flow of time between the underworld and the mortal realm.

However, the reason why it was overlooked was more because he and Blood River Ancestor had never been to the underworld and knew very little about it.

After a person dies, time and space, and indeed everything in the world, lose their meaning.

Therefore, the underworld has no trace of the universe or the river of time.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible to predict how long Wu Liang would linger on the road to the underworld before he could meet the Soul-Leading Chicken and the Bone Immortal.

He may have stayed here for ten thousand years, while the mortal world is but a fleeting moment.

Of course, it's also possible that he only stayed there for a moment, and by then the world had changed beyond recognition, with tens of thousands of years having passed.

As for Wu Liang, he clearly didn't have the resources to waste time on this.

Let alone ten thousand years, given his current condition, he can probably only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Once time has passed, even if he is a thousand souls, he will not escape assimilation into the Yellow Springs and his consciousness will be completely worn away.

Clearly, Wu Liang's only remaining option is to leave it to fate and rely on luck.

Fortunately, Wu Liang has always had good luck at these critical junctures.

Perhaps it was his destiny to survive...

Just as his consciousness was about to fade away, and he was in a daze, he subconsciously began to follow the road to the underworld and approach the underworld!

A loud rooster crow suddenly rang in Wu Liang's ears.

"Giggle giggle!!!"
