Bai Zhi thought so and looked towards the center of this small underworld, where stood a large palace.

328 The Possibility of Yin-Yang Balance

"It's already rotten like this, could it be that the god here has really been sent away?"

Baizhi slowly flew to the front of the palace and looked it up and down.

High EQ: antique and with traces of time

Low EQ: Too tattered to be given away

In front of this building, which still vaguely shows its once magnificent appearance, there is not even a single person guarding it.

Although in Egyptian mythology, it was Anubis who guarded the entrance to the underworld.

But in practice, it is impossible for a god to guard the door himself.

At least there should be a few subordinates guarding the front of the residence to keep it looking presentable.

Even the souls passing by seemed to ignore her.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual when she approached the palace, Bai Zhi frowned, then walked to the gate of the palace, looked at the huge bronze door, and slowly stretched out her hand.

"Rumble"

The sound of the door being pushed open echoed throughout this small underworld, and many souls who had ignored Bai Zhi all turned their eyes over.

The door was wide open, and what appeared before Bai Zhi's eyes was complete darkness, like a black hole that swallowed everything. No sound came from inside the palace.

"It's like a horror game..."

Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, and a handful of flames rose in her hand, illuminating everything around her.

It was a long road. There were torches on the surrounding walls and even flames burning on them.

But no light came from those flames.

Ignoring this strange phenomenon, Bai Zhi gathered her strength, stepped directly into it, and walked towards the end of the road.

"dong dong dong"

The sound of a bell ringing was heard.

Then, a gust of wind blew, and countless glowing souls suddenly poured in from behind Bai Zhi, and then flew towards the end of the passage.

No, to be precise, it didn't fly over, it was sucked over.

She could clearly feel a powerful suction coming from the end, and those souls could not resist such suction at all.

"Interesting, what is the end of this?"

Bai Zhi was also intrigued by this situation and flew forward along the suction force.

This hall doesn't look big from the outside, but inside it has quite a large space.

Ordinary people might be surprised when they come here.

But for Bai Zhi, this situation is too common.

In Xianzhou, the operation of using caves within caves is almost everywhere.

As the suction became stronger and stronger, Bai Zhi finally came to the end of the hall and saw the existence that emitted the suction.

It was a huge being with a jackal head, dressed in ancient Egyptian clothes, and exactly like Anubis in mythology.

However, compared to the myth, Anubis now looks quite miserable.

His body appeared to be decayed, and even half of his head had turned to bones, with only a faint green light flickering in it.

"You are... a person from the present world, why are you here?"

Among the many translucent souls, Baizhi's presence was too conspicuous. In just a moment, Anubis discovered her presence.

His voice was low and hoarse, and a faint green light kept flashing in his eyes.

"Are you Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death?"

Bai Zhi did not answer the other party's question, but asked it in return.

......

Anubis was stunned for a moment, but instead of being angry, he nodded.

"I haven't seen real life here for a long time. I am indeed Anubis, the god of death who rules this space."

"I think that in the outside world, the civilization we once led has probably been destroyed?"

Bai Zhi looked at Anubis curiously and asked, "Were you eating these souls just now?"

"Yes, I have very little strength left, so I have to use this to recover some strength to maintain the existence of the underworld."

Perhaps because no one had come here for a long time, Anubis seemed very happy and answered Baizhi's questions very happily.

"I see..." Bai Zhi nodded.

"But aren't you a god? Thousands of years ago, you should have been a very powerful being. How did you decline to this point?"

"Haha, little guy, you came here to explore something, right?"

Anubis smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. This is not a secret. Even if I can't find the answer here, you can find it in other places with a long history."

“So I’m willing to give you an answer.”

"In this world, yin and yang coexist. When one side becomes dominant, the other side will create something that can counter the other side."

"For example, our Egyptian gods, the Eight Immortals of China, and gods from other regions."

"Similarly, there are evil monsters, various disasters, and evil gods."

"The original eight demons occupied a strong share of the black energy, so the other evil beings that were born were not that strong."

"So, after fighting these evil beings, we became abandoned."

"The Mandate of Heaven is gone, and our power begins to wane. Even the Eight Immortals who sealed the Eight Demons will suffer the Five Decays and eventually fall. We, the Egyptian gods, are no exception."

Anubis said this, exhaled a breath of foul air, and the green in his eyes became much brighter.

"So, have you found a solution to this kind of thing?"

Bai Zhi didn't believe that these high and mighty gods would just sit there and wait for death.

"Of course, the gods united unprecedentedly and finally came up with the idea of ​​creating the underworld and the heaven."

"We judge all living beings and determine their good and evil. The wicked are punished in the underworld, while the good people ascend to heaven and live with the gods."

"Did you succeed in the end?" Bai Zhi asked.

"We succeeded. Our actions made the righteousness favor us again, but at the same time, we also failed."

Anubis's tone darkened.

"Good people go to heaven, bad people are punished. What a perfect method. People are afraid of revenge after death, so they have good intentions."

"But, we have forgotten the most important thing, that is, where does the power to maintain the underworld and the heaven come from?"

"There are more and more good people. They ascend to heaven and enjoy fine wine, delicious food, and all good things."

"The wicked are in the underworld and are punished, but it takes all kinds of resources to do that."

"Over time, the heavens and the underworld become more and more crowded, because the population is always increasing."

"In the end, we were unable to pay the expenses of the underworld and the heavens, and the entire system collapsed."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi added: "And because of this collapse, the favor from the yin and yang energies is gone, right?"

329 Contract God

"Yes, with the destruction of the heavens and the underworld, our favor has not completely disappeared, but it has begun to gradually decrease over time."

"As our favor decreases, our power begins to decline, and it becomes more difficult to maintain the existence of the two worlds."

"You can see that the once huge underworld has now shrunk to such a ridiculous size. I have to devour souls to keep myself from disappearing."

Anubis sighed. All the high and mighty gods were nothing more than playthings in front of the yin and yang energies.

As long as they are not satisfied, the power the world provides to the gods will be greatly reduced.

If they wanted to, a normal person could rival the original devil.

Unless they can possess a power that belongs to them alone.

But how is that possible? They were created by this world and it is impossible for them to use power from outside this world.

"Is that so..."

Bai Zhi was thoughtful.

"So the biggest problem with this model is that there is not enough energy to maintain the existence of the heavens and the underworld, right?"

Anubis nodded. "It is perfect. It can achieve a relative balance between yin and yang."

"But unfortunately, the world will not pay for this extra land. Only we gods ourselves can pay."

"But how can we possibly support two worlds?"

“So, whether it was the underworld of China, the underworld of Egypt, Hel of Northern Europe, or Mithnar of Maya, they all collapsed for this reason.”

"So, as long as someone can pay this energy or price, will the world be completely stable?"

Baizhi smiled. What Anubis said was actually the same problem that Xianzhou had.

A space requires enormous energy to support it. If the scale of a cave is like that of the Xianzhou that can feed hundreds of billions of people, normally, the Xianzhou is either fighting for energy or on the way to fight for energy.

But Xianzhou did not do so.

This is naturally because someone paid for the expenses of Xianzhou Cave Heaven.

So, who paid for the expenses of the cave?

It is naturally our respected Emperor Bow Siming. He opened up the power of hunting destiny to the fairy boat, allowing it to act on the cave heaven and maintain the huge expenses of the entire fairy boat.

If Bai Zhi wanted to, she could create a new heaven and underworld, and then call on Emperor Gong Siming for help, and most likely she could fill this energy gap.

For Emperor Gong Siming, the energy required to maintain the cave heaven on a mere planet is nothing.

However, Bai Zhi felt that it was not appropriate to let Di Gong take charge of this matter.

This is mainly to balance the world. All kinds of evil will be dispersed into small incidents instead of big bosses appearing every once in a while.

The dark side still exists.

And the wicked will also be judged.

The main thing is a balance.

Therefore, for this kind of thing, we should find the most suitable star god, such as...balance!

Bai Zhi believed that this star god would definitely be willing to pay this expense which was in line with His path.

As for whether I can call this person at that time.

When she was gifted the God, she saw that he seemed to be observing her.

Besides, if that doesn't work, then only Lord Digong can help.

Emperor Bow will definitely not abandon his beloved believers~

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi smiled. She had already thought of how to make use of the demons or gods that still existed in the world.

"Well...Mr. Anubis, I, Bai Zhi, would like to extend an invitation to you to serve as one of the managers of the new underworld."

"Little guy, what nonsense are you talking about? You can enter here, I admit you have something, but I don't recommend you to rebuild the underworld."

"Instead of doing that, you might as well conserve your strength. Maybe you can live longer."

Anubis said in a low voice.

"I am already very satisfied to be able to chat with someone again after such a long time. Don't think of doing anything big just because you heard what I said."

"Besides..."

Anubis looked up at the ceiling and said, "The world is almost reaching the end of the Dharma era."

"In the past, mages possessed power that was even comparable to that of gods, and they often visited the heavens and the underworld."
