Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"who?!!!"

Upon seeing that figure, Yu Qingge immediately roared and unleashed her speed to chase after it.

He Li, who was in front, was also startled by Yu Qingge's sudden movement and subconsciously turned around to look. Although he did not see the figure, he keenly sensed the change in the Qi around him.

Aside from his relationship with Yu Qingge...

Is there actually a third, unfamiliar "Qi"?

"There are living things here? Interesting!"

This place is basically the same as the dead realm, but it has been abandoned for countless years.

Perhaps the connection between this place and the lower realm has been severed, and theoretically it is unlikely that there are any living beings here. However, there are indeed living beings here, which is quite unusual.

He Li also wanted to figure out the situation.

Without hesitation, He Liling's thoughts almost immediately covered an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

Being inside his spiritual realm, a normal living being would be restricted and unable to continue running.

But this time, the spiritual power failed to work.

That figure seemed to be able to ignore the limitations of spiritual power.

And it's very fast.

Yu Qingge failed to catch up, and He Liling also failed to capture the other party, resulting in the loss of the other party's whereabouts.

"Did you see what that thing was?"

Although the other party ran away, He Li was not flustered. He flew to Yu Qingge's side and asked, "It was a person, but it looked like an energy body, semi-transparent."

"That's a consciousness!"

He Li heard this and explained.

"When a person dies, their soul ascends while their consciousness descends. We don't know what the soul does after it ascends."

"Consciousness sinks into the realm of death and suffers."

"Perhaps... the eighteen hells of the past exist, and those consciousnesses that retain their memories will be here, paying the price for the sins they committed."

As he spoke, He Li frowned: "Logically speaking, it should be very unlikely that there are any conscious entities in this place."

"Consciousness cannot exist permanently."

"They will fade away over time."

"The connection between heaven and earth has been severed for so long..."

"The consciousnesses that once resided here... no, could it be that those consciousnesses devised some special method here to maintain their form and ensure their immortality?"

He Li was somewhat suspicious.

Upon closer examination, the consciousness entities existing here are all beings from before the separation of heaven and earth.

Those guys retain their memories, so they naturally remember the spells they mastered and the things they cultivated, and there might even be some exceptionally powerful beings among them.

These guys...

They can figure out ways to save their lives...

That's absolutely not impossible!

However, if we look at it that way, how could he possibly find those ancient consciousnesses...?

Wouldn't we also be able to learn the detailed process of those past events from them? And many ancient secrets? It might even be possible to solve the problems that led to the calamity.

Thinking of this, He Li beamed with joy.

Yu Qingge, standing nearby, was stunned.

How can he still laugh after the person has run away?

She couldn't help but say, "What are you laughing at? So what if what you said is true?"

"They've all run away, we can't find them anywhere. Even if you have designs on them, you can't do anything about it!"

Hearing this, He Li came to his senses.

"Who says I can't find it?"

He Li suddenly smiled and asked in return, and Yu Qingge was somewhat suspicious: "You really have a way to find them?" He Li nodded but did not explain in detail how he found those consciousness entities.

Suddenly, He Li's supernatural powers were activated...

Buzz! As the black mist rose, He Li's appearance within it began to distort.

Originally, He Li's idea was to transform into a hungry ghost and use the effects of the hungry ghost's vision to observe the surroundings, perhaps finding some traces left by the consciousness from before.

After all, the Hungry Ghost Vision's observations are exceptionally keen and clear when it comes to things like consciousness.

But consciousness is not a physical entity.

This is a special energy body.

This is why these creatures often leave behind special "qi" along their path when they move.

By observing this "qi", one can track him.

However, what He Li didn't expect was...

He had just activated his supernatural power and hadn't even had time to carefully observe his surroundings when he noticed that the black buildings around him were all exhibiting unusual reactions after his power was activated...

hum! ! !

Inside those black buildings, the blood-red patterns suddenly emitted a scarlet light.

As the light appeared, He Li clearly sensed something spreading out from the buildings like ripples on water, hurtling towards him at an extremely fast speed.

He Li did not dodge.

Because he didn't sense any danger; on the contrary, his intuition told him that the ripples should be beneficial.

as predicted……

Ding! ! !

As the ripples touched He Li...

The next second, a familiar whisper rang out...

[The Hungry Ghost descends, the Netherworld returns!]

The Great Dao's mysterious gate is about to open, the Netherworld of Rebirth will be reshaped, and the place where the Divine Tree takes root will become the Great Abyss...

Five mysterious gates stand behind you...

[Your supernatural powers have changed; a new Great Dao supernatural power has emerged from your existing powers: the Deceptive Gate Summoning!]

"Summon the Gate of Demons: Summon the Gate of Demons! You are the Lord of the Underworld, and your current location is the Gate of Demons. You may now summon the Gate of Demons at any time to release or capture all beings of the Underworld..."

He paused in his whisper, feeling a cold sensation on his forehead as if something was wriggling there.

His vision also became blurry.

He seemed to see that this place was no longer a wasteland...

Instead, it was a city of the dead, with numerous palaces and high walls, and millions of consciousnesses coming and going, where countless afterlife creatures knelt and worshipped before him...

However, these images only lasted for a very short time.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Just when He Li thought the whispers had ended, the image had disappeared, and everything had returned to calm...

New whispers began...

[A ravenous monster descends upon the world, the underworld is returned...]

Your innate supernatural power is awakening...

[You have awakened the divine power of the Heavenly Destiny: Lord of the Underworld; you are the master of the netherworld, the netherworld is with you, those who are reborn in the netherworld revere you, and reincarnation is entirely in your control...]

Hmm? A new supernatural power? ???

Is its level the same as the Hungry Ghost Devourer?

Upon hearing the whisper, He Li's eyes widened suddenly.

But the whispers didn't end there...

[The Great Abyss General Descends!]

[Your supernatural power has changed: A new Great Dao supernatural power has emerged: Netherworld Official Appointment!]

"Netherworld Official Appointment: You are the Lord of the Netherworld. You have the authority to grant Netherworld rule power to those who have been reborn in the Netherworld or their followers; you will accept their allegiance and control their life and death..."

Note: Conferring official titles requires meeting certain conditions. For example, to become a Grand General, one must unlock the Grand Abyss and obtain the corresponding power!

The Great Abyss General? What is that?

How come I didn't see it?

The whispers ended completely, leaving He Li stunned.

He could understand the Lord of the Underworld. It seemed that this was the afterlife without a master, because the hungry ghost had suddenly appeared and automatically handed over this power to him.

It also granted him the power to open the Gate of Demons.

As for why this is the case?

It's hard to say, but He Li thinks it's probably because the Hungry Ghosts are creatures from the afterlife.

Moreover, it's not just any ordinary being.

Then there's the divine power of the Lord of the Underworld...

This supernatural power is very powerful, but its current use is limited because its actual function is to control everything in the afterlife, and it becomes useless outside.

At least for now, going outside will be useless unless He Li continues to improve the derivative supernatural powers of this supernatural ability.

Take, for example, the derivative supernatural power that grants official titles.

There must be other similar supernatural powers.

But will the Great Abyss be the ruler?

This is a bit confusing. He said that the Great Abyss General descended to earth, but he didn't see it happen.

He didn't even know who the Great Abyss General was.

Offering official titles? What a waste!

And... there's also that great abyss!

Judging from the whispers just now, the Great Abyss should also be a special area related to the Netherworld, and connected to the Fusang Divine Tree, since the whispers mentioned that the divine tree took root...

However, putting that aside for now, the previous gains were enough to make He Li happy for a long time.

"Hehe~ I doubt that Golden Crow Eleven ever imagined it would go to such great lengths to cast the Future Curse to banish me here, and even grant me new supernatural powers to control the Netherworld, right?"

"And I also control the Gate of Deception."

"Perhaps we can open the gate to the underworld and see if we can leave this netherworld directly!"

He Li chuckled and muttered to himself.

Until Yu Qingge spoke up from behind...

"What's wrong with you? It seems like... something has changed about you?"

Hearing Yu Qingge's words, He Li smiled and turned around, intending to say something to Yu Qingge, but when he turned around, he found that Yu Qingge in his eyes was different from before.

On Yu Qingge's body...

A blurry, blood-red phantom was superimposed!

Although I don't know what that phantom was...

But upon seeing that illusory figure, He Li seemed to subconsciously know the other party's background and blurted out...

"The Great Abyss General?!?"
