In the Land of Dead Silence, the two of them looked at the golden-orange spirit that had appeared out of thin air.
Han Xiao held the resurrection token and asked curiously while sensing its vibration, "What are you?"
"What are you?"
"I'm the consciousness of the Underworld. Simply put, I'm the butler of this secondary dimension. You can call me by my name, Onicelu."
It's actually a dimensional consciousness entity. I thought that in a dying secondary dimension like this, even if it had a consciousness entity, it would have already disappeared … Han Xiao was secretly surprised.
Only a very small number of secondary dimensions could give birth to dimensional consciousness, which was equivalent to having a life of its own. The Evil Convergence was one such example.
A dimensional consciousness entity was of a higher level, which meant that the secondary dimension had successfully ignited the spark of intelligence. In comparison, the Evil Convergence was just a beast.
This dimensional consciousness entity could control all the energy of the secondary dimension. In the eyes of some people, it was an existence similar to a god. Some sects worshipped the dimensional consciousness entity as a god statue. This was one of the mainstream forms of existence of gods in the main universe.
According to Han Xiao's understanding, the function of the dimensional consciousness entity was basically the same as the land, which made it much simpler to explain.
No wonder he could not sense its existence. Although this was a dying secondary dimension, it was still its territory. The dimensional consciousness entity was this space itself. If it did not want to appear, no one would be able to discover it.
"Then what's the Underworld?" Han Xiaoxin had a vague guess.
Sure enough, this dimensional consciousness entity who called herself Onicelu looked down at the black floating island under her feet and said calmly, "As you can see, this secondary dimension that's heading toward destruction is the Underworld."
Han Xiaoxin understood.
The Land of Dead Silence was what the Void Lord Kirkmond called it. It seemed like the Underworld was the official name of this secondary dimension.
He raised the resurrection token in his hand and asked, "So, you should've discovered us long ago. Since you reacted to the energy in this coin, why did you only appear now?"
"Just to confirm your intentions." Onicelu's mental fluctuations were very gentle.
Onicelu had noticed Han Xiao the moment they entered the Underworld dimension. She had been observing them silently. Only when they helped her manage the environment and she confirmed that they had no ill intentions did she decide to show herself.
On the other hand, Onicelu also needed to determine if the two guys carrying the resurrection tokens were friends or foes with the creator. This was very important to her.
Han Xiao still wanted to ask, but he was interrupted by Onicelu.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I have answered enough questions. Before you tell me your relationship with the creator of these two coins, I will not answer any more of your questions."
Hearing this, Han Xiao kept his mouth shut and started to calculate the pros and cons.
The fact that the Hella sisters had an energy connection with this secondary dimension was already very strange, and now that this dimension had a consciousness, it was even more sensitive.
According to Hella, this dimension was an obstacle to her and Aurora's connection, and it had been silently absorbing the energy they transmitted. Thus, he could not confirm the other party's intentions for the time being. He did not know if he should be honest or not.
But then again, since there was a consciousness of the dimension, it would definitely know the ins and outs of everything. Hella did not have to guess blindly. The only problem was to confirm that the other party was not lying.
Just as Han Xiao was thinking, Ames, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke.
"She's my student."
Onicelu turned around and looked. "Can you prove it?"
Ames looked at Han Xiao and signaled with her eyes.
Fine, since you've said it, I don't have to think about it anymore … Han Xiao shook his head helplessly and used Virtual Technology to show some of Hella's information.
"It really is the power of the dead …" Onicelu's mental fluctuations seemed to be relieved, and she smiled kindly. "She also has an elder sister or younger sister who has the life Esper Ability, right? They should be related by blood."
"… That's right." Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he nodded.
Onicelu looked at the two of them deeply, clasped her hands together, and her tone became serious.
"I have a request. I hope you can bring them to me as soon as possible … The Underworld needs a new successor!"
Successor?
Han Xiao and Ames looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"What's going on? Tell me everything you know, and I'll tell them. But if you don't, I can only suspect your intentions and stop them from coming, "Han Xiao said in a deep voice.
The title of successor sounded good, but Han Technician was afraid that this was an existence similar to the Meow King. He was worried that he would be tricking Hella, so he had to ask clearly.
"Since I've decided to show up, I don't plan to hide it from you."
Onicelu shared a memory through her mental fluctuations, giving off an atmosphere of 'listening to her mother's story of the past'.
"It all started from the exploration era. In the long war, the first batch of Beyond Grade As was born. They were called the Primordial Ones in history. Among the Primordial Ones, there was a pair of sisters who were not related by blood but had Esper Abilities that complemented each other. They were Nerkese, the 'Master of Death', and Eros, the 'Mother of All'. They used their own abilities to create this Underworld dimension …
"At first, the Underworld dimension was just a cage used to imprison the souls of the dead that Nerkese had restrained and the followers that Eros had subdued. However, as the abilities of the two founders continued to grow, the Underworld dimension gained a new function, which was to become a place for the souls of the dead, providing a world where the consciousness of the dead could live forever.
"Since you're a Mechanic, in your words, you can understand it as converting the memories and minds of those who died physically into data and uploading it to the virtual world to achieve a different kind of eternal life. "The Underworld dimension is like a server, storing the souls of countless lives. Many strong people from the exploration era chose the Underworld and slept here after death … Therefore, Nerkese and Eros created me and let me manage the Underworld, becoming the tomb keeper of the Underworld.
"The two founders were extremely talented, and they did not stop growing. Nerkese's ability prevented the souls from decaying in the Underworld, while Eros used her ability to create temporary physical vessels for the souls to regain the shell of life. Then, she used the special energy of the fusion of the two to temporarily restore the combat power of the target until the fuel of life was used up. "Even if the physical vessels died again, their souls could still return to the Underworld. The two of them used this ability to create a strong army … The Underworld dimension was still a huge army camp to them!"
Hearing Onicelu's explanation, Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and a strong sense of déjà vu surged within him.
What the f * ck, this is Edo Reincarnation + Martyr's Palace?
These two sisters really know how to play!
Ames had mentioned before that the abilities of the two Hella sisters were very similar to the abilities of these two Primordial Ones, so Han Xiao had looked up their information before and knew that the Mother of All Creation was not as weak as Aurora. She had a huge number of followers and had abilities similar to summoners. Now, this was the first time that Han Xiao knew the details of their abilities.
This meant that the Underworld stored the souls of countless strong people. Through the fusion of life energy, death energy, and revival energy, one could perform 'Edo Reincarnation' and turn them into a huge army. According to this Dimensional Consciousness Entity, the two Hella sisters seemed to be able to become the inheritors of the Underworld …
Wouldn't this mean that they had received the inheritance of two Primordial Ones? A windfall from the sky!
Good things indeed happened when he spent a lot of time with Fu Ding.
Just as he was pleasantly surprised, Onicelu changed the topic, and her tone became sorrowful.
"Unfortunately, after the death of the two founders, the Underworld dimension lost its energy supply and gradually withered. All the souls fell silent, and even I fell into a deep sleep."
"How did they die?"
Han Xiao was curious. The information did not state the cause of their death. It only said that they had disappeared without a trace.
A bunch of conspiracy theories appeared in his mind, but Onicelu's answer was unexpected.
"They committed suicide."
Han Xiao was slightly stunned. "This … They were alive and well. Why?"
Onicelu sighed. "They kept developing their abilities, and one day, they suddenly had an epiphany. All this time, they claimed to be the controllers of life and death, but they had never felt what real death and new life were. In their opinion, only by walking this path could their Esper Abilities reach a higher level. Therefore, they decided to walk towards death to find the true meaning of life and death …
"Before they died, they told me not to be sad, that destruction was only the beginning of a new life, that this was their final destination … On that day, I saw with my own eyes that they left behind their fleshly bodies. They naturally soared into the sky and ended their lives."
Han Xiao's face was filled with question marks.
No, they were already dead. What was there to comprehend?
Could it be that these two were the ultimate Dao seekers, and they came to the conclusion that they could die at night?
Perhaps only with such a mentality could they become the first batch of great people in the universe to break through the Beyond Grade A. Perhaps this was the meaning of the Primordial Ones.
As if she understood Han Xiao's expression, Onicelu shook her head and said softly, "I know your doubts.
"I know your doubts. Before their consciousness completely disappeared, there was a brief moment where they were in the superposition of life and death. It was at that moment that I received the last message they left. They said that they had finally found the true meaning of life and death."
"What is it?" Han Xiao's curiosity was piqued again.
"Inheritance." Onicelu's tone was gentle. "They said that passing on the torch is the true meaning of endless life, forming a complete cycle in the huge life system."
Han Xiao was speechless. Isn't this common sense? Did you guys learn this when you were trying to kill yourselves? You died for nothing!
However, although he really wanted to complain, he also understood that it was one thing to know the truth, and it was another to experience it personally.
Most of the time, the key to a higher level was the sudden flash of inspiration. This was the origin of epiphany. The stronger one was, the more important this feeling was.
Onicelu continued. "Their deaths were not in vain. They passed on this deepest understanding to the next generation."
Han Xiaoxin was shocked and could not believe it. "Could Hella and Aurora really be the reincarnations of those two Primordial Ones?"
Hearing this, Ames was also shocked.
However, Onicelu shook her head.
"Reincarnation? Not like that. They're already dead, completely dead. Their souls have disappeared, and their bodies have been decomposed by me to replenish the Origin Energy of the dimension. Other than this Underworld, there's nothing left. They left all their experience in their Esper Abilities. It's their Esper Abilities that are passing on. "
"I still don't understand …" Ames did not understand.
Onicelu explained patiently. "After they died, they left behind the seeds of the Life Esper Ability and Death Esper Ability. This is neither material nor energy but a higher-dimensional Information Form. I don't know why this happened, but I know that if I kept them, no one in the entire universe would awaken the Life Esper Ability and Death Esper Ability.
Therefore, in order to complete the task entrusted to me by the two founders and to save myself, I sent these two seeds of information entanglement back to the main universe. I knew that one day in the future, they would blossom and bear fruit on two new life forms … "
At this point, Onicelu paused and smiled.
"Do you really think it's a coincidence that a pair of sisters with the Life and Death Esper Abilities appeared in the entire universe?"
Hearing this secret, the Great Mechanic Han felt as if his young heart had been impacted.
In that case, Hella and Aurora did not have any direct relationship with the Primordial Ones. They were only chosen by the Information Form Esper Ability Seeds and became this generation's Life and Death Esper Ability Users.
The Primordial Ones had integrated their own understanding into the Information Form Esper Ability Seeds. Therefore, the future Awakened would subtly obtain the inheritance of experience and memory, which was equivalent to increasing the talent of the future generations.
No wonder Hella could learn new abilities and talents so easily. This Esper Ability of hers had its own development strategy!
How could this be called an Esper Ability Seed? It should be the source!
"Information Form …" Han Xiao could not help but have more thoughts.
He still remembered that during one of his Species Evolution, an evolution option of [Multi-Dimensional Shadow] had appeared. It seemed to be related to the Information Form.
Before he could think about it carefully, Onicelu spoke again in a low voice.
"This is everything I know. After the death of the two founders, the Underworld gradually withered and could no longer maintain its isolation from the outside world. Its surface area was shrinking, and the spatial walls were shattering. One soul after another fell into a deep sleep. I could only store them all in the Dimensional Core to prevent them from dying out. However, I also became weaker and weaker and fell into a deep sleep. When the Underworld completely disappears, these souls will also disappear.
"The source energy of the Underworld is the energy of the Life and Death Esper Abilities. Not long ago, I finally received a supplement and unconsciously absorbed the energy of this generation's sisters, barely waking me up from a long deep sleep. Then, I stopped absorbing."
Han Xiao thought to himself.
Not long ago, it should be when Hella and Aurora were developing their life connection. No wonder the energy they transmitted was sucked away. That makes sense. In that case, the Underworld dimension is actually a medium for the life connection of the two sisters, a medium for their energy …
This time, Onicelu shook her head and calmly said,
"The remains of the two Primordial Ones allowed me to last for a long time. They've long been used up. The Underworld urgently needs a long-term stable source energy provider. Please bring them over as soon as possible. I don't know how long I can last."
As soon as she said that, Han Xiao received a mission notification.
