On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Fengdu Star.

It has been a full month since we left Jupiter.

During this month, Ye Han hardly stopped. The Eternal shuttle traveled back and forth between many star systems, sometimes visiting several planets in a row, and sometimes not making a single visit for several days.

The energy points also drifted with the current.

At least the number has been steadily rising, from 295 to 702.

Ye Han had already gotten used to this monotonous yet fulfilling rhythm.

Of all the star systems visited during this month, Fengdu Star was the most unique among all the targets.

When Ye Han first heard Lingling's description of the planet, his first reaction was that the girl was making up stories to amuse him again.

"Master, there's a particularly interesting planet in our next target star system called Fengdu. This star system has a very special rule: once a living being dies in the star system, no matter which planet they die on, their soul will automatically appear on Fengdu."

"Then the process of reincarnation is completed on Fengdu Star, and you are assigned to the place you are to go in your next life. Simply put, it is the underworld of the entire star system."

Ye Han was browsing the system panel at the time and casually replied, "Have you been making too much 'God Realm' lately? You've even made up an underworld!"

Lingling panicked.

The availability of a large amount of reliable information dispelled Ye Han's concerns.

It wasn't until he arrived on Fengdu Star and saw it with his own eyes that he realized there really was a planet in the world that was exactly the same as the underworld.

It can only be said that the world is full of wonders, and the universe is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

At this moment, Ye Han was walking alone on the surface of Fengdu Star.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the local spirits, he deliberately used a monkey talisman to transform himself into the form of a spirit, making his body semi-transparent as he walked on the road.

He looked no different from the other aimless and wandering souls around him.

He didn't bring Lingling and Dia.

Lingling is currently updating the new version of "Divine Realm" on the Eternal Ship. This update involves the opening of several large dungeons and balance adjustments, and she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to chat.

Dia is in the same boat, processing some approved Migi information. Since the bounty was posted, she has received a massive amount of feedback. The automatic filtering program has filtered out most of the invalid information, but highly relevant clues still need to be manually verified.

At the control panel, Lingling was intently typing away at her code; the next major update for the game needed to go live tonight.

She had been preparing for three days.

The communication system suddenly lit up, and a half-body image of a horse appeared in the holographic projection.

"Lingling, tell Ye Han that Bai Xue has mastered the Eight Extremes Heaven Technique. Come and take her back as soon as possible, because I will be closing the Eight Extremes Star soon."

"Okay, we're coming right away." Lingling's ears perked up immediately. Just as she was about to ask a few more questions about the details, the horse's projection was abruptly turned off.

This veteran's communication style is just like his fighting style.

Click till.

The call ended, and Dia peeked out from behind the holographic screen, rubbing her sore eyes: "What's wrong?"

She compared massive amounts of data but still found nothing.

Lingling put down her work: "Oh, Master Ma just said that Bai Xue has mastered the Eight Extremes Heaven and wants us to bring her back."

"But I think we shouldn't tell Master yet. He's busy on Fengdu Star right now and won't be back for at least a few hours. How about we surprise him?"

Dia did not object and agreed.

Space jumps can bring people back in just a few minutes.

The two woke up the butler and had it activate the space jump device to go to the Eight Extremes Star.

Ye Han on Fengdu Star was unaware of all this.

He was curiously observing the peculiarities of this planet.

The sky was an eternal blackness, with no stars, no moon, and no celestial body overhead to illuminate the earth.

The only natural light source comes from the wide river that runs across the center of the continent; the river itself emits a cold, bluish light, illuminating the planet.

Locals call it the River of Oblivion.

A stone bridge spans the river, its surface uneven and worn smooth by countless footprints.

A stone tablet stands at the bridgehead, its inscription blurred by the passage of time, but Ye Han can still decipher the three characters.

The Bridge of Helplessness.

It is said that anyone who drinks Meng Po's soup can cross the bridge to be reincarnated, forgetting their past life and starting afresh with a clean conscience.

Ye Han quickened his pace along the banks of the River of Oblivion, heading towards the Bridge of Helplessness.

The red dot displayed on the system panel is on the other side of the bridge; you can find the energy point by crossing it.

The spirits by the roadside were slowly walking towards the Bridge of Helplessness when they suddenly felt something brush past them, bringing with it a chilly wind.

One of the young men, who had recently died, was startled by the gust of wind. His semi-transparent body swayed a few times, and he quickly grabbed his companion's sleeve, his voice trembling, "Just... just now, wasn't there a figure passing by?"

His companion was an old ghost who had been dead for many years and had been living on Fengdu Star for quite some time: "He's dead, so where did this ghostly place come from? More like a Hokage."

"Don't make a fuss, just go and line up properly, it'll be your turn a long time ago."

"I don't want to be a human in my next life."

A long queue had already formed on the Bridge of Helplessness.

The procession stretched from the bridgehead all the way to the distant wasteland, with translucent spirits lined up one after another, all behaving very orderly.

The line continued to grow, but the front seemed to be blocked, not moving forward an inch for a long time.

Ye Han had no patience to wait in line.

Using his invisibility ability, his figure and aura blended into the pitch-black night, silently passing through the gaps between the queuing ghosts.

He soon spotted the source of the congestion.

In the very center of the Bridge of Helplessness stands a large cauldron, simmering a thick soup that emits a faint green glow, bubbling away.

A stunningly beautiful woman stood before the pot, holding a long ladle, slowly ladling a bowl of soup for each ghost crossing the bridge.

She wore a plain white dress, her long hair cascading down to her waist, and her face was so exquisite that she looked like a lady who had stepped out of a painting.

She is Meng Po, the one who administers the hot water.

Ghosts who want to cross the Bridge of Helplessness must first drink the Meng Po soup in her hand, forgetting all memories of their past lives, before they can enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Those who haven't forgotten cannot cross the bridge.

The source of the congestion is a ghost that is frantically drinking Meng Po soup.

The ghost stood by the pot, drinking bowl after bowl of wine. He was so fast that as soon as Meng Po filled a spoonful for him, he would tilt his head back and finish it.

His belly was swollen and round from the soup, like a balloon filled with water, but he still showed no sign of stopping.

Thirty bowls... fifty-one bowls... the quantity is still increasing.

The onlookers were all amazed.

Meng Po added another spoonful to his soup, and the soup in the pot had noticeably sunk a lot lower.

She slammed the ladle heavily against the edge of the pot, making a crisp clanging sound, her phoenix eyes practically spitting fire: "After drinking so many bowls, what is it that you still can't forget?"

The ghost put down its bowl, let out a burp, and raised its head earnestly: "I'm from Yunnan, from Nujiang in Yunnan, Nujiang..."
