Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1743 The Other Shore of the Underworld

Splash splash splash splash...

Raffi's dark source hair, like a cocoon, wrapped around Green, using the mysteries of life and death of the Yellow Springs Nether River as a guide, to delve into a deeper layer of illusion in this illusory world full of holes and delusions.

The two are inherently one entity; Grimm and the Dark Source Hair are inseparable. Through the layers of cocoon-like Dark Source Hair, Grimm probes everything in the outside world.

In the River of the Underworld, the consciousness of the mystery of life is washed away, and the spirits of the mystery of death are enslaved. Between these mysteries of life and death, vortexes of spacetime extremes are often formed. Green's body, influenced by the dark source of Raffi's hair, has also gradually been guided by the other side of the Underworld.

I believe that as time goes by, one day I will enter the other side of the Yellow Springs and obtain the ultimate mystery of life and death in this absurd and illusory world.

But Green was clearly impatient and eager to speed up the process, which is why he chose the River Underworld, the Black Witch King, as his guide.

A giant undead shrimp was wandering in the River of the Underworld when it was suddenly enveloped by several strands of dark energy. It struggled desperately, but to no avail.

More and more strands of dark energy wrapped around it. In utter despair, the hundreds-of-meters-long undead giant shrimp struggled less and less, enveloped by layers upon layers of dark energy strands. On the silken cocoon that encased Green, its dark red, proud eyes revealed a ruthless, cold glint.

puff!

With a combined burst of power, the giant undead shrimp was instantly torn into countless pieces, turning into wisps of black smoke that merged into the Netherworld River.

"Hehehehe, King of Wizards, I await your so-called supreme mysteries in the underworld!"

The Black Witch King's maniacal laughter was like crashing waves. Within the silk cocoon, strands of dark energy squeezed into the fixed vortex formed by the undead giant shrimp. Through its connection with the underworld, strands of the mysteries of life and death were summoned into it, and the vortex grew larger and larger until Grimm was trapped inside.

puff……

The long darkness, the strange and regular squeezing and writhing all around, when Green reappeared, he was spewing out from the excrement of a phantom giant tortoise made of bluish-gray smoke.

Before he could even explore and adapt to this illusory world, he was suddenly flipped upside down and pulled over by an unknown gravitational force from above.

The engine nozzle of a colossal warship, which was spewing out flames and phantoms, exerted an irresistible attraction on Grimm, instantly drawing him in.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The raging black smoke seemed to burn away all the rules. This was an illusory world where the waste products from the burning of endless world matter and energy gathered, and it was also the world before the demon doll descended into the dimensional esophagus, the world of ashes!

The dimensional esophagus is meant to digest the creatures that fall into it. Therefore, the creatures that rub against their own bodies with the different rules of many illusory worlds are like the stomach and large intestine of the endless world. And the Ash World is the most dangerous one among these endless illusory worlds!

Splash splash splash splash...

One after another, black columns of smoke shot into the sky, melting countless things trapped within them into black ash.

There were monster corpses, burning smelly socks, discarded rag dolls, dangerous and polluting waste, void warships, abandoned elemental cores, secret letters...

These things, which are ordinary in the world of matter and energy, melt into ashes at varying speeds here. The speed of ashes is not determined by their properties in the world of matter and energy, but by the story before entering the world of ashes.

The more convoluted and bizarre the experience, the harder it is to be reduced to ashes, which is somewhat similar to the rule that memory and imagination determine the strength of dimensional gaps.

Undoubtedly, the more powerful the creature, the more convoluted and bizarre its story; however, some strange objects experience even more bizarre encounters.

Fortunately, Green's current strength has already surpassed the limits of ordinary rulers, and ordinary rules can hardly affect him. In such a short time, he did not encounter any powerful creatures in this virtual world and arrived at the center of a column of smoke relatively safely.

"Following this pillar of smoke, which represents the path to the underworld...? Hmm..."

With a painful groan, Green could feel his body being disintegrated. The body, which had been formed from endless grid-like primordial runes when he returned to the wizarding world from the dimension of "Fairy Tale," was gradually crumbling away, leaving only a wisp of primordial consciousness written in wizarding script.

"Only by experiencing death can one reach the other side of the underworld! It's not just because of Raffi; perhaps I'm already dead in terms of the rules of the endless world."

As Green's wisp of wizarding consciousness was engulfed by the black column of smoke, he suddenly had this thought.

Splash splash splash splash...

When the black hanging river, like a raging tsunami, replaced the black burning smoke column, and one by one, two-colored spider lilies floated and fluttered, the wails before death and the cries of birth eternally cycled, symbolizing the alternation of life and death. Two blood-red full moons, like two blood-red eyes, looked down on everything here. Green knew that he had come to one of the deepest illusory worlds, the Other Shore Yellow Springs Realm!

Guided by the shadowy strands of darkness beneath his feet, Grimm flew swiftly along the black river that cascaded down from the sky. He saw pure, pristine new consciousnesses, as well as fragmented pieces of consciousness. The spider lilies were piecing together these fragmented consciousnesses after death, erasing their memory attributes, forming new consciousnesses, and casting them into the endless world.

Only those who have died can enter the realm of the dead, meaning only those who are in the cycle of reincarnation and those outside of it can enter the realm of the dead!

The Soul Wedding Dress received the rebirth of the Ancient Tree of the Other Shore, the Black Witch King received the Netherworld Sister of the Underworld, what will I receive?

call out!

There is no danger in the Other Shore of the Underworld; entering the Other Shore of the Underworld is the most dangerous danger in the endless world, a danger that will inevitably lead to death!

"You've come!"

Above the Nether River, Grimm witnessed a strange scene. At this moment, the Black Witch King's conjoined twins, whose illusory sister in the material energy world had become a physical entity, while their conjoined brother had become an illusion. Although their expressions were clear, they did not utter any words or reveal any consciousness; they were merely phantoms.

Its existence seems to resemble some rule-setting bugs in the world of fairy tales, and it is also somewhat similar to the owner of those eyes of destruction in life.

"Yes, I'm here."

Green, in his wizarding ideology, landed and stood before the Black Wizard King.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about her."

Behind Green, the dark source of hair gradually transformed into an illusory image.

Green turned around abruptly, and everything in his eyes seemed to be a reversal of time and space. It was a scene from his innocent days as a wizard apprentice, where Green was responsible for resisting and defending in front, while Raffi was responsible for drawing his bow and attacking from behind.

And the same is true at this moment!

The rules governing the arrows on Raffi's bowstring are the ability to attack the consciousness and memory of living beings. In the illusory image of Raffi's life and death mysteries, the strength of all living beings is no longer determined by the intensity of their control over energy matter, but by the standard of their conscious experience. The shorter the growth process of a genius and the more outstanding the talent, the more likely they are to be suppressed by Raffi.

Swish!

An arrow was nocked on the bowstring—the Netherworld Arrow!

PS: I'm not sure about the third update. If it's not updated by 11 PM, then it's useless. But I'm still keeping it in mind, and I'll definitely make up for it if I say I'll.
