Chapter 667: A New Dungeon Begins!
Lin Xiaohe lowered the long-haired skull hanging above the earthenware pot: "What are crystal coins? Why can Meng Po soup have the same effect as crystal coins? In legends, ghosts who drink Meng Po soup can forget their past lives and be reincarnated, right?"

The long-haired skeleton sat cross-legged beside Xinbao with a look of weariness, gazing at the towering and ferocious City of the Dead in the distance, and said indifferently, "Without the Bridge of Helplessness, without the Six Paths of Reincarnation, how can they be reincarnated?"

Lin Xiaohe ladled out two more bowls of Meng Po soup, one for herself and one for Xinbao.

The taste of Meng Po soup is a mixture of five flavors.

Xinbao, however, felt that the soup was sweet with a hint of bitterness, followed by a subtle sweetness.

The long-haired skeleton was unwilling to drink the Meng Po soup: "Life has a hundred flavors, which are formed by the heart. The Meng Po soup is not simply sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy, but rather uses a lifetime of experiences as a catalyst to create a complex flavor that is unique to each individual. The person who drinks the soup will have all their obsessions, regrets, and desires transformed into the taste of the soup."

In short, she didn't want to taste it again.

Lin Xiaohe: "You still haven't answered me, what are crystal coins?"

The long-haired skeleton said helplessly, "Part of the crystal coins is the power of rules. Nothing can escape the rules, and we depend on the rules for our existence."

"This portion of the power of rules should be very small, right? What about the other components?"

The long-haired skeleton refused to answer.

The earthenware pot on the fire was bubbling with soup.

In just a short while, the amount that had been scooped out in two bowls was quietly replenished.

This earthenware pot is like the jade vase of Guanyin Bodhisattva, inexhaustible and everlasting.

Lin Xiaohe stared at the flames and calmly revealed the long-haired skeleton's identity: "You are Meng Po."

The long-haired skeleton paused, staring at Lin Xiaohe in disbelief. After a long silence, it finally spoke bitterly.

"Yes. When we were defeated, the Goddess Houtu sacrificed herself to give us a chance to survive. The Goddess Houtu said that one day, someone would wear golden armor and rebuild the underworld."

“You are bathed in golden light, and you are the only one who can enter the Netherworld in a living body... You don’t need to worry about your identity being exposed. You are now just Meng Po.”

Lin Xiaohe lowered her eyes.

She could roughly guess the identity of Houtu Niangniang.

"Who defeated you?"

Lin Xiaohe could see caution and vigilance in the long-haired skeleton's almost shrunken eyes.

The long-haired skeleton shook its head and said solemnly, "I don't know who they are either. They have existed since we were born."

"Is it a seed of rebirth?"

Clearly, this question had been on Meng Po's mind for a long time.

Without hesitation, Meng Po replied, "It's a bit like that, but it's not. We've analyzed it in depth with Houtu Niangniang, and the seedlings of rebirth should be from a civilization in another universe, summoned by the enemy through some kind of formation."

Meng Po was lost in her thoughts: "According to the rules of Heaven, ghosts should not interfere with the human world. But these reincarnated beings can move around in the human world by relying on the power of the rules. In order to figure out what is going on, we pushed forward the direction of technological development in a small world."

The operation is very simple: just give some deceased scientists less of the "soup of oblivion".

These chosen individuals do not remember their past lives, but when they come into contact with knowledge they learned in their past lives, they can remember it instantly and understand it completely, requiring almost no further time to master it.

Meng Po: "The technology in that small world is developing very quickly. Computers, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and finally, they developed a second world. Through the brain-computer interface, you can enter the second world, where you can live a normal life, eating, drinking, and sleeping."

"We thought this experiment was about to succeed. Once the Second World developed to a certain point, we should start researching how to influence the real world in reverse. But... the final result was that the Second World collapsed, and the Reincarnated Ones took the opportunity to invade that small world, conquering it in a very short time." It was too fast, so fast that they didn't even have time to react.

Lin Xiaohe frowned: "Why did the Second World collapse? Why didn't you have time to react?"

Meng Po sighed, "We can only control reincarnation, not go directly to the human world. The Second World is too prosperous, and with the rapid development of biomedicine, people from the Small World leave their consciousness in the Second World before they die."

There was no death, and the people in the small world were unwilling to have children.

Even if Meng Po and the others wanted to do something, they were powerless to do so.

The people in the smaller world underestimated the weight of consciousness. So many people uploaded their consciousness to the second world, directly causing the second world to collapse.

Meng Po muttered softly, "Words like 'dungeon,' 'server,' and 'beta test slots' were brought back by the reincarnated beings who had been to that small world."

Meng Po was very dissatisfied with this.

The underworld used to be so well-ordered and ancient! It was nothing like the one we have now, which is a complete mess, a hodgepodge!
Lin Xiaohe quickly processed this information.

It seems that these reborn beings were summoned by the boundary marker.

But is the universe that Meng Po talks about the same as the universe she understands?
If they are different, Meng Po's other universe is the star field outside the boundary marker, and the reborn species is an alien civilization existing in a certain star field.

If they mean the same thing, then things get interesting. Lin Xiaohe has experienced so much, and she has never heard any civilization mention another universe.

It is known that the Rebirth Seed is related to the Boundary Marker, and the Boundary Marker is related to the Old God. If the Rebirth Seed is related to another universe, then what about the Old God? What about the Divine Heir?

Before Lin Xiaohe could come up with a solution, Little Head Ghost and Big Head Ghost arrived with a litter of mixed-race individuals.

From a distance, Little Head Ghost waved his arms and shouted, "Second Meng, we're here!"

The little ghost, pulling the pale-faced figure along, sped off, then slammed on the brakes in front of the shack: "Second Meng, this is my second brother. Don't let his current appearance fool you, he's known as the All-Knowing of the Dead City; there's nothing he doesn't know!"

Cough cough, Little Head Ghost felt a little guilty, but he was determined to do his best so that his second brother could drink a bowl of Meng Po soup!

The pale-faced figure looked Second Meng up and down. She couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her aura, she was a strong person!
The pale-faced figure's heart leaped into her throat. Without a word, she pulled the little ghost behind her, her attitude very polite: "Second Meng, the little ghost said I can exchange information for a love potion with you. Is that true?"

"Correct."

"Any message is fine?"

"No, I need valuable information."

The things given away for free aren't worth much, but we can't give these people the chance to take advantage of us.

The pale-faced figure pondered for a while before dropping a bombshell: "Soon, we'll be opening a new instance in the Eastern Kingdom. Is this news of any value?"

Lin Xiaohe: "That's not enough. You can be more specific."

"Alright. They plan to open a new instance in the capital of the Eastern Kingdom. Because the capital of the Eastern Kingdom is large and has a large population, they will recruit a lot of vanguard soldiers this time."

Lin Xiaohe scooped up a spoonful of Meng Po soup and handed it to the pale-faced figure: "How do I register?"

The pale-colored figure hesitated for only a moment before drinking the Meng Po soup at the urging of the little-headed ghost.

As soon as it was swallowed, the pale figure's body solidified a bit.

He perked up and said enthusiastically, "You can just register at the gates of the four major cities. But I don't recommend you do that. In the early stages, going to the dungeons is all hard work, with lots of work and few crystals. Why don't you try to find some connections and become a junior elite? I'm sure you'll gain a lot."
