"Huh? I didn't leave the secret realm? "
Lin Dong found that he didn't successfully return to the entrance of the secret realm like last time after leaving the fake body he had created.
It appeared in front of Lin Dong.
It was another world.
It looked normal on the surface.
But in Lin Dong's senses, this world was full of strangeness.
"Is this the real secret realm?" Lin Dong thought for a long time. He didn't trigger any strange mechanisms. Last time, he escaped from the Five Elements Reincarnation Tablet. Why didn't it work this time? Could it be that the strange world in front of him didn't need to be triggered and could automatically suck people in?
Now, Lin Dong could be said to be bold because of his skills.
He was very confident.
Moreover.
Since he was already here, he might be fated to enter the real secret realm. He might as well explore it.
Lin Dong took out the Illusionary God Alchemy Gloves and put them on. Then, he made a Wood Kite out of spirit wood and let it fly out to explore the way. Only an idiot would rush into a trap. God knows how many traps were waiting in this ancient sealed space. Sometimes, it would be good if they accidentally fell into a trap. Sometimes, they would encounter some ancient curses that were like maggots in the bones. That was really bad luck!
The Wood Kite flew higher and higher.
In the blink of an eye.
It disappeared into the sky.
It disappeared without a trace, like an arrow shooting into the sky.
"…" Lin Dong was stunned. It was unbelievable that the Wood Kite he made would go out of control.
After a while, the Wood Kite flew back. It flapped its wings and made a noise that was worse than a crow's. "I'm back, I'm back!"
"Who are you?" Lin Dong was sure that the Wood Kite he made could not speak.
"I don't know, I don't know!" The Wood Kite made a loud noise.
"What did you see?" Lin Dong asked again.
"I don't know, I don't know!" The Wood Kite still gave the same answer.
"Then what do you know? Tell me what you know! "Lin Dong was very patient.
"I know everything … I don't know anything! I don't want to say anything … I've told you everything I know! " Suddenly, two different noises came out of Wood Kite's mouth. One was as sharp as a needle, and it hurt people's eardrums. The other was as hoarse as a gong, and it made people's veins bulge.
"Then I won't ask." Lin Dong nodded.
"If you have to ask … it's fine if you don't ask!" Mu Yuan gave him two different answers.
"Don't tell me what kind of world this is. I don't want to know!" Lin Dong was starting to understand the rules of this world.
"I didn't want to tell you that this is the Upside-Down World. Why do you have to ask? Dead people don't need to know. I won't tell you the truth!" As soon as Wood Kite finished speaking, its head exploded.
Blow off the neck.
Suddenly, two heads sprouted from its body.
One was black while the other was white. Their eyes were like four terrifying black holes.
Their mouths opened and closed, shouting with all their might, "Dead man, you're dead, you're already dead, you shouldn't have come here, this is a place of no return!"
"Thank you!" Lin Dong suddenly bowed.
"Why are you thanking me? Why are you bowing to me? Chaos, it's too chaotic! " The Wood Kite's two heads suddenly started pecking at each other. It was getting crazier and crazier until the two heads were smashed to pieces. Only then did the Wood Kite lose all of its strength. Its body fell apart and disintegrated. However, its remains did not fall to the ground. Instead, they fell into the endless sky.
Upside-Down World?
Lin Dong thought about it for a long time.
Finally, he bravely took a step forward.
He took a step forward, but his body took a step back.
This world.
It was even stranger than Lin Dong had imagined.
Everything he saw was dead. Flowers, trees, birds, and beasts were no different from the outside world. The only difference was that they were all dead.
Birds and beasts could fly, they could scream, and they could run, but they were all dead.
Flowers and trees were blooming.
They even bore fruit.
On the surface, they looked lively and lush, but they were all dead.
"Dead things that exist in a living form? What kind of power created this? "Lin Dong was puzzled.
Lin Dong saw a house in front of him.
Following the Law of Upside-Down, he retreated until he reached the front of the house.
Then.
He discovered that the house was alive.
Not only was the house alive, but it could also greet Lin Dong. "Hello, dead man. How did you get in here? Dead people shouldn't enter this world, unless you want to become a living person! "
"Do you think dead people can talk?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
"Dead people can talk? Is there a need to doubt? You're dead, why would you doubt yourself? " Not only was the house alive, the walls, the door, and the stone lions in front of the door were all alive. They could even move freely. This strange upside-down world made Lin Dong want to laugh. What was the Big Niu that created all of this thinking? What was he trying to do with the Upside-Down World? Other than messing up the minds of intruders and subverting their thoughts, what else could it do?
"Dead people can talk, but what about living people?" Lin Dong asked again.
"Of course living people can talk, but they can only talk to themselves and can't hear us. It's too pitiful for them. Anyway, they're living people. They can't hear us, so it's normal that they can't communicate with us!" This time, it was the wall's turn to answer.
"How long has this Upside-Down World existed?" Lin Dong wondered if this was some powerful person's bad taste, deliberately making it like this to fool the younger generation?
"Who told you it's the Upside-Down World? You've been tricked. This is clearly a normal world! "The stone lions expressed that everything was normal.
"Have any of you seen the Upside-Down World?" Lin Dong decided not to debate this question with them.
"I've seen the Upside-Down World!" Only one window said it had seen it.
"What kind of Upside-Down World did you see?" Lin Dong asked.
"It's very chaotic, very terrible, very contradictory, all kinds of restrictions, all kinds of inconceivable. I almost went crazy just by looking at it!" The window suddenly trembled and made a rustling sound. "The dead people there are like living people. The living people can't speak. They're like a piece of meat, quietly lying there and rotting! The flowers and trees there are also dead. They're obviously dead, but they bloom and bear fruit like they're alive. However, they're dead after all. Their flowers and fruits can't exist forever, and they'll soon wither and rot … The scariest thing is that the houses there are clearly living, but they can't speak. They're different from us. We're free, but they're like a prison, staying in place forever and unable to move. They'll even slowly rot. It's too scary. That place is even scarier than the legendary hell! "
"Well, I kind of understand what's going on." Lin Dong nodded.
"Do you want to join the immortal us?" The house asked enthusiastically. "We haven't had a new companion for a long time. Maybe you can be a pillar!"
"I'm not interested in being a pillar at all. I just want to be myself!" Lin Dong didn't thank the house's invitation. Regardless of whether he was called a dead person or a living person here, he was still willing to be a human, not a pillar that could talk. "Being a dead person is too boring.
There's no way to live forever. Your body will soon rot, and some people won't even be able to hold on for a few decades. They're even worse than the living people here. That's too terrible, but you guys just won't let go. Stubborn minds, I really don't know what to do with you! "The stone lion expressed that humans were too stubborn.
"I think the worst thing about the dead isn't that they rot easily, but that they live in a dream half the time without knowing it!" The door opened its mouth and laughed.
"Yes, they can't tell the difference between day and night. They always think that day is night, and night is day. The funniest thing is that they think they're awake when they're dreaming. It's rare for them to be awake for a short period of time, but they think it's a dream!" The window complained that humans were simply incorrigible.
"It doesn't matter. When the dead's body rots and their souls break free, they'll understand what the truth is." The wall was more magnanimous.
"But once they change bodies, they'll forget everything!" One of the pillars was very disdainful of humans' forgetfulness. "They always make the same mistake again and again."
"I agree with what you said." Lin Dong felt that humans were indeed a forgetful race.
"The brain of the dead will be sealed. Without enough brain capacity to think and remember everything, it's normal for them to be forgetful. The most important thing is that the dead can't control their bodies, so they don't have any willpower to speak of. They can't resist the temptations of the outside world, and repeating the same mistakes is almost inevitable. They're so fragile. Water, fire, earth, light, and dark. Anything can easily destroy the piece of meat they're in. From our point of view, they're actually very pitiful existences. They have no idea that they're already dead, and they don't even know that they're being punished to suffer in a piece of meat … "The house sighed. It had a lot of sympathy for humans.
"Can I see the living people here?" Lin Dong was very curious about this living person who could turn the world upside down.
"Of course, if they can see you, they might be very happy, because they haven't added any companions for a long time!" The stone lion asked Lin Dong: "Do you want to become a living person? I know a place, it should be the Ancient Transformation Field, it can turn a dead person into a living person in an instant! "
"I'd better take a look at the living people here first!" Lin Dong tactfully declined.
After waiting for a while.
A group of cultivators flew over lightly.
There were a lot of them, at least a thousand of them. Furthermore, the few people in the lead were obviously elders of some sects, and their strength far surpassed their companions.
They rode on all kinds of flying artifacts, whizzing past Lin Dong, not even looking at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong was not angry.
Because …
These were all ghosts that had died for an unknown period of time.
After they died, they were imprisoned in this inverted world for some reason. Under the influence of the laws, they didn't feel that they were dead at all, and still maintained the habits they had when they were alive. They, who were completely lost in the inverted world, could not see Lin Dong's existence, nor could they see the house, the door, the windows, the pillars, and the stone lion, these strange spirit bodies.
"Will I become like them if I completely accept the laws of the inverted world?" Lin Dong shook his head, if he were to communicate with those ghosts that had died for an unknown period of time, they might think that he was the ghost!
"Looks like you're a little disappointed?" The door laughed: "In our opinion, a dead person like you is actually not as good as them!"
"Yes, at least they can always exist, but you can easily rot into a pool of stinky water!" The pillar harrumphed.
"It doesn't matter, from your point of view, we humans, dead people can become living people, and living people can also enter a piece of meat and become dead people. In any case, it's a continuous cycle, the mistakes made in the previous life, the mistakes made in this life … It's always like this, so it doesn't matter if you rot for a while, you can just change to another piece of meat next time. This might even be a kind of eternity!" Lin Dong laughed out loud.
"If this is eternity, then it's the most boring kind." There was a rustling sound from the window, "If it were me, I would definitely find a way to get rid of it, I don't want such a scary and boring transformation!"
"That's impossible, humans have no way to get rid of their fate!" The house expressed that it was impossible.
"Whether humans can get rid of their fate, we'll discuss this topic the next time I come!" Lin Dong politely bowed to the house and the other spirit bodies, "I'm very happy to meet you new friends, but I think I have to go. If there's a chance, we can talk about this topic next time!"
"Goodbye, you're a very strange dead person, I hope you can rot a little slower!" The stone lion was very straightforward, of course, it still had good intentions.
"It doesn't matter if you change to a new body next time, we've already remembered your soul!" The house expressed that it would definitely recognize Lin Dong the next time it came.
