Chapter 530 Overview of the Underworld
The leading paladin was the first to come to his senses.
He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and carefully walked up to Liu Nian.
"Um... Boss, thank you so much for saving my life! I'm Ashborn, the vice-president of the Radiant Temple Guild, and these are all my brothers. If it weren't for you today, we—"
Liu Nian raised his hand to stop him: "We're all on the side of light, so let's skip the formalities. I just happen to be heading to the other side. This is my first time here, so I wonder if you could provide me with some information about the other world?"
Ashburn paused for a moment, then quickly nodded: "No problem at all! May I ask if you just want to know about the situation on the other side of this portal, or if you want to know the general situation of the Netherworld?"
"Let's all talk about it," Liu Nian said.
Ashburn glanced at the portal, thinking that no more undead should be coming over—even if they were, with the powerful "Agnes" here, they certainly wouldn't be afraid.
He waved for the other players to rest, then quickly organized his thoughts and began to give a rapid introduction.
The world of the dead is not as vast as the infinite cyber continent, but it is still much larger than the area of a single realm (such as the Netherworld).
There are countless city-states and kingdoms there, with undead monarchs, undead lords, undead generals, and undead forces of all levels scattered throughout the land, too numerous to count.
Due to the unique environment of the undead world, a large number of skeletons, flesh, spirits, and monsters that conform to the construction of undead creatures will be automatically generated.
Therefore, the vast majority of undead players in the Undead Plane do not come here to fight, but to accumulate power.
Because undead players, especially mage players, rely heavily on a large number of undead summons for their combat power.
So this place is equivalent to their arsenal, talent market, ammunition depot, material storage room, and so on.
Moreover, the underworld is not entirely composed of inanimate objects; it also contains living, breathing creatures, though few in number.
Another point is that the undead world and the abyss world have strong similarities—they both invade other worlds in order to constantly plunder the living, and they are keen to turn other worlds into undead worlds as well.
Some powerful undead lords, like the Lords of the Abyss, are able to drag other worlds directly into the undead world.
Over countless years, the world of the dead has continued to expand and grow, and now it is mainly divided into two main continents, east and west, as well as countless secondary continents.
Currently, the greatest enemies of the undead world are the vampire world and the serpent world.
The undead and vampires of the Eastern Continent are blood enemies, and they fight to the death whenever they meet; while the undead of the Western Continent have been fighting with the world of giant serpents for countless years.
Because it is so vast and connects countless worlds, there are many ways to enter the Land of the Dead, such as the numerous places like the Lake of Eternal Darkness.
Ashburn said that the portal leads to a lower-level area on the other side—the Dead Ash Wasteland.
The monsters are mostly between level 100 and 200, and the vast majority are low-level units such as skeletons, ghouls, and zombies, which are at the level of those who have just left the starting village.
If you continue forward, you will enter Ghost Valley, a gathering place for ghosts, banshees, and other undead spirits, where the monster levels will increase to 200 to 300.
Further in lies the Dragonbone Desert, a more complex area where many undead lords have established their own cities. Among them are player forces and system forces, creating a mixed and chaotic landscape.
Ashburn and his group only wanted to farm some materials in Ghost Canyon, but they unexpectedly encountered a level 500 legendary boss on the way.
They thought they could quickly eliminate the enemy by relying on the Holy Light's restraining effect, but they didn't expect that undead players would set traps nearby. As a result, they were ambushed and ended up losing more than they gained.
After listening, Liu Nian asked again, "Have you ever heard of any undead in the Land of the Dead who belong to the Pharaoh faction?"
"You mean those mummy spirits?" Ashburn thought for a moment, then shook his head. "That's quite far away, not around here. The entrance here belongs to the Eastern Undead Continent, and the mummies seem to be on a subcontinent to the south. We've never been there, so we have very little information about it."
Liu Nian nodded and then asked, "Do you know if the Eternal Darkness Council has any strongholds over there?"
Ashburn's expression froze. The Council of Eternal Darkness?
I think I've heard of it. It seems to be a level 7 player faction headquartered in the Dark Continent.
As for whether there was a base in the Land of the Dead, he genuinely didn't know.
He was just the vice president of a small guild, and he really didn't know much about the specific information of certain forces, so he could only tell the truth.
Seeing that he couldn't get much more information out of the other party, Liu Nian waved goodbye and stepped into the portal alone.
Ashburn and his companions watched Liu Nian walk into the teleportation portal, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of being a top player from the Angelic Court! He's terrifyingly strong!"
"Yes! To dare venture into the Land of the Dead all by himself, his strength is truly unfathomable!"
"Stop talking, let's get back to the city. I don't want to stay here for another second."
Liu Nian stepped through the portal, and as soon as he took a step, he stepped on a patch of grayish-white ashes, raising a cloud of dust that looked like bone ash.
There are no enemies here; the news must have been relayed back, so no one dares to come and die.
The area around the portal was empty, with only a few broken skeletons lying crookedly in the ashes, and several skulls with their mouths opening and closing, it was unclear whether they were cursing or pleading for help.
Liu Nian looked around and observed the surrounding environment.
The sky was deathly pale, the earth was covered with ashes, and in the distance, several low, black hills stood quietly like piles of burnt coal ash, barren and devoid of any vegetation.
Besides the smell of ashes, the air was also filled with the stench of the dead. With every breath, a large number of particles would get in, making one's nose extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Nian would rather smell burning plastic and gasoline than smell these odors.
Finding no threat, Liu Nian took out the Heart of Truth and, a moment later, obtained Matt's exact coordinates again.
However, it is also very far away from here. According to Ashburn, this guy is probably not on the Eastern Continent at all, but on the adjacent Western Continent, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Looking at the coordinates, Liu Nian silently calculated in his mind that if he relied solely on flying, it would take at least half a year to reach the destination, so this method was not realistic.
He summoned Arachne, and a rift opened in the void, allowing Arachne to land beside him with her long legs.
"Master, where is this..." Arachne frowned as soon as she appeared, her eyes scanning the surrounding environment. The stench and dust in the air made her uncomfortable, so she waved her hand to create a purification barrier for the two of them.
"The Land of the Dead," Liu Nian said succinctly. "Help me sense if there are any teleportation arrays or spatial rifts nearby. Such a vast area definitely requires these things for rapid movement."
Arachne nodded, closed his eyes, and quickly shook his head: "There's only one portal to the Eternal Dark Lake around here."
"Alright then! Let's head towards these coordinates first, and you continue to probe along the way!"
"yes!"
