On the other side, Chu Hao and the others naturally did not know what had happened to the Samsara Army. They were heading towards the Underworld under the leadership of Ai Ao. As they got closer to the Underworld, the land became more and more desolate. Some wild animals that occasionally appeared had long disappeared here. Even monsters could not be seen. According to Ai Ao, the only creature that could survive in the Underworld was the three-headed monster. This was a monster that could survive by devouring souls. It was known as the gatekeeper of the Underworld. But in fact, it was a monster, not a soldier of Hades. It was the only life form that lived near the Underworld.
Along the way, when they were about to reach the Styx River, it was already night. They set up a camp about ten kilometers away from the Styx River. Then, they lit a fire and set up camp. They assigned sentries to guard the camp and so on. During this period, Perseus also brought two hunter brothers to hunt a three-headed hellhound … a cub, a two-headed hellhound with only two heads. "Actually, it's not a cub.
In terms of age, this two-headed hellhound is indeed an adult. It can't even grow a third head until it dies of old age. This has something to do with its bloodline and strength. Maybe there are other factors that are hidden deeper. I don't know about this. It's said that many monsters, giant beasts, and even magical beasts have their own original ancestors. Those ancestors are said to be more powerful than gods. Their children inherit part of their strength and bloodline, but they are more or less incomplete. Not only the three-headed hellhound, but also the thunder hawk and the hydra. The strongest hydra I've ever seen only has seven heads, and the strongest thunder hawk leader is only two and a half meters tall.
In the camp, Aio was telling everyone about the rumors she knew about these creatures. Chu Hao was listening to her with great interest. Although his expression still looked like he already knew about this, he had already memorized this information deeply in his heart. This information might not be useful now, but with the development of the World of Reincarnation, there would be a time when it would be useful in the future. Moreover, this information seemed to contain some profound meaning.
While Ai Ao was telling everyone about these mythical and legendary creatures, dinner was ready. In addition to their godmothers, there was also the two-headed hellhound that they had hunted before. But then again, this two-headed hellhound looked very strange, but its meat was very delicious. It was oily but not greasy. It tasted like the most tender veal. When Chu Hao, Zhang Heng, and the soldiers of the Samsara Army ate it, they felt their stomachs heating up. It was not painful, but a warm and comfortable feeling. This also confirmed that this meat was indeed not ordinary meat.
"Maybe ….. if you eat the meat of legendary creatures like the three-headed hellhound and unicorn often, you might be able to awaken your battle qi faster. This is much more convenient than staying in these high-magic planes for a long time."
Chu Hao said this in a very low voice. Only Zhang Heng, who was next to him, heard it. Zhang Heng immediately put on a sneaky look and whispered, "You mean to say that eating more of this kind of creature's meat will allow you to gain battle qi? The kind that glitters all over? "
"It's just a possibility!" Chu Hao said impatiently, "Just do what you usually do. Don't become so wretched as soon as you whisper something, as if you want others to find out … I'm just mentioning a possibility. After all, we were born and grew up in a demon-free dimension, and we didn't have the chance to study the various attributes of a demon-free dimension. We also didn't know about the mechanism of awakening battle qi or inner strength, so we can only deduce from certain logical judgments. The simplest logic is that the biggest difference between a demon-free dimension and a demon-free dimension is whether or not there is spiritual energy. The essence of spiritual energy is for living things and non-living things to absorb it, resulting in various changes in a demon-free dimension, such as inner strength, battle qi, magic, or special abilities, and so on. To put it simply, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed, and the amount of spiritual energy absorbed, resulted in the difference between a demon-free dimension and a demon-free dimension, as well as the difference between a demon-free dimension and a demon-free dimension. If you want to absorb spiritual energy, what else could be faster than eating? So from a simple logic point of view, eating the food of this world, especially the high magic food of this world, can definitely allow people to gain battle qi, internal force, or special abilities faster. "
Zhang Heng suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I understand. You mean, in a low-magic plane, foodies are invincible, right?"
"….. What you said makes so much sense that I actually have nothing to say ….." Chu Hao said in a bad mood.
"Okay!"
Zhang Heng suddenly acted like he was working hard. Then, under everyone's gaze, he walked directly to the bonfire and cut off one of the cooked two-headed wolf's hind legs. Then, he walked back to his position as if there was no one around and began to eat. By the way, the size of this two-headed wolf was not the size of the wolves on Earth. It could be directly called a giant wolf. Its size was almost the same as a cow on Earth, so a hind leg was definitely not something that a person could finish …..
Chu Hao was directly speechless at Zhang Heng. He was too lazy to care about the actions of this idiotic killer. He simply ate some dry food and then walked alone to the place where the Styx was. He intended to see the Styx with his own eyes. He was very interested in this world, no, it should be the existence of the world after death.
Since Chu Hao entered the World of Samsara, he often searched for various kinds of knowledge and information such as myths, history, science fiction, ghosts, legends and folklores. He even included those virtual information such as the SCP series or the Cthulhu Mythos series. As far as he knew, in many civilizations around the world, there was a river in the world after death mentioned, and this river was generally the place where the souls of the dead reached. For example, the River of Nai in Chinese mythology, the River of Three Roads in Japanese mythology, or the River Styx in Western Greek mythology, and so on. This was actually a very strange thing.
It should be known that these civilizations had very little communication in ancient times. Some civilizations even had no communication at all and were distributed all over the Earth. Under such circumstances, they almost unanimously produced the same description of the river in the world after death. If such a situation was said to be a coincidence, then it was really too much of a coincidence.
"The River Styx?"
In the darkness, Chu Hao walked to the edge of the Styx without any worries. In fact, he really had nothing to worry about. In this world, his strength might not be as strong as any of the gods, and he might not be as strong as some legendary creatures, such as the Sirens. But for most of the creatures in this world, his strength was overwhelming. After possessing the Divinity, his strength had reached a certain critical point. He was quite clear about this, so he was not worried at all along the way.
Just like that, Chu Hao arrived at the edge of the Styx with ease. What he saw next was a "river" that was as vast as the sea, and he could not see the end of it at a glance. Chu Hao's vision was not like that of ordinary people. As long as he could see, he could see as clearly as a telescope. Moreover, his vision at night was not obstructed at all. He could see at least tens of kilometers away, but he still could not see the end of the Styx.
"You don't have to keep looking. There is no end to the Nether River, at least not in the physical sense. Even if this is just a branch of a branch of the Nether River, there is still no end to it. You can actually think of this place as a small external projection of a special plane called the Nether River, and what you see is just a small projection of that special plane. The real Nether River exists in a higher dimension, and only saints or gods can directly see and understand it. If you must describe and explain it, you might as well think of the Nether River as a concept, a concept that the Multiverse has for certain specific existences, similar to the bottomless abyss and the like …"
When Chu Hao gazed at the so-called endless "river", a voice sounded behind him. He had heard this voice before. It was Hades' voice, one of his main targets for coming here. But what made him feel inconceivable and baffled was that this voice was saying something that shouldn't be said by Hades. Therefore, he immediately turned his head and saw Hades standing behind him. At this moment, Hades was very different from the treacherous Hades in the movie. If he had to describe it accurately, Hades now looked more aged and benevolent.
"We meet again, my Lord, Hao …"
Hades had the appearance of an old man. He was smiling at the moment, but his mouth didn't stop talking. He continued, "It's really a surprise to be able to meet you here. The waymark went to the Chaotic Ocean Eye, which caused a few loopholes in his surveillance. But I don't have much time. The loopholes will close in 57 seconds, so I'll try to make it short."
"If you want to fulfill your wish, then you must first regain your memories, at least part of them. Secondly, you can't accomplish anything with just your wish and memories alone. So you must regain your power. Your memories and power are in the only core fragment left, in the lonely mountain guarded by Bahamut's direct descendant, the Red Dragon Smaug. But please remember, Smaug is the real body and not a projection. Although his power and memories are sealed, he has the chance to break the seal in the only plane of existence. No matter what, you must avoid this from happening. Remember, remember …"
"Don't believe too much in what you haven't seen with your own eyes. Whether it's good or bad, whether it's good or evil, there's no such thing as absolute good and evil in this world …"
"Please try your best to consider and think about any conversation or decision the waymark makes. The waymark may be doing it for your own good, but as a waymark himself, he often has no choice …"
"Finally … As a subordinate of my Lord, I only hope that you can reconsider at the last moment … You've done too much for our race. This matter doesn't require you to go to this extent, so …"
However, that was all Hades could say. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of Chu Hao's eyes. He vaguely saw a Mysterious Yellow Aura sweeping past. Following that, Hades revealed a confused expression. Then, he seemed to be shocked. He made a defensive move and floated back tens of meters away. At the same time, he looked at Chu Hao nervously and said, "What did you do to me?! Why am I here?! "
