Just when Lin Zhen's attention was focused on the stone at his feet, a deep figure suddenly reached his ears.

"Don't look at the stone. Its structure is incomprehensible to your current state."

At this moment, Lin Zhen's heart seemed to be filled with thunder.

It wasn't because of the words themselves, but because the sound was poured directly into his ears, and he couldn't tell the source at all.

But when Lin Zhen raised his head, he saw a tall man standing right in front of him, less than two meters away.

It can only be said that he has a straight figure, because Lin Zhen can't see other features of this person at all.

This feeling was very strange. There was obviously no mist blocking the two, but in Lin Zhen's eyes, that person was just the same person, with the shape of a person, nothing more.

"Who are you?" Lin Zhen frowned and asked warily.

The other party did not answer Lin Zhen's question, but asked: "When you come to someone else's territory, shouldn't you state your name first?"

"Your territory?" Lin Zhen was shocked, but on the surface, he remained calm.

Such a terrifying place turned out to be the opponent's territory, so how powerful was the existence opposite him at this moment?

He just said that the stones on the ground are beyond his current state of understanding. It seems that this is not a bluff...

"My name is Lin Zhen." Lin Zhen said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"I've already made the introductions, now it's your turn."

The person on the opposite side suddenly laughed: "Haha, you little guy is quite interesting. Aren't you afraid that I am also an intruder and if you anger me, I will kill you directly?"

Lin Zhen said calmly: "First of all, I speculate that the chains that drag ghosts away from the Yang Realm are controlled by you, which means that you are not a bad person; secondly, you said it yourself, this is your territory

, and your strength far exceeds mine. If you really want to kill me, does it really matter whether you make me angry or not?"

"Haha, it seems that it is not a coincidence that you can obtain the power of the Yin Eye..." As he spoke, the figure took a step towards Lin Zhen.

With just this step, Lin Zhen felt as if the other party had crossed countless layers of space, and the originally fuzzy details began to become clear.

The man was wearing white clothes with a brocade belt around his waist. His figure was indeed very straight and well-proportioned. However, when Lin Zhen moved his eyes upward to see what he looked like clearly, he found that his face was still blurry.

There aren't any details.

"Don't look at it. With your current level, if you see my true face, even if you don't die, you will become a dementia." The other party's voice suddenly reached Lin Zhen's ears again.

"Who are you?" Lin Zhen asked again.

"I told you this question just now. I am the owner of this place." The other party replied.

The owner of this place...

where is this place?

Only then did Lin Zhen begin to think emphatically about the nearest place in the space he was currently in.

At first, I felt a strong Yin energy similar to that of Yin Mountain, then a ghost, and then the ghost was taken away by chains.

Yin energy, ghosts, chains...

A guess suddenly appeared in Lin Zhen's mind.

"Is this the underworld?!" Lin Zhen's eyes widened with surprise in his tone.

"Yes, but not entirely." The other party replied calmly.

It’s really the underworld!

Lin Zhen's heart once again stirred up turmoil.

Yin Mountain is just a part of the edge of the underworld, or it is not considered a part of the underworld at all.

The existence of Yinshan is like a garbage dump, just to house those hopeless ghosts and their obsessions. Lin Zhen already knows this.

As for what the real underworld is like, Lin Zhen has never seen it before.

In Lin Zhen's understanding, the existence of the Yin Realm is to allow the souls of the Yang Realm to enter reincarnation.

But now it seems that it's not just that.

Suppressing the Lord of Yin Mountain and opening up the Abyss, these things, according to Lin Zhen's knowledge, were all done by the ruler of the Yin Realm.

From the master's words, Lin Zhen learned that the ruler of the underworld seemed to have quietly disappeared a long time ago.

So, where did the ruler of the underworld go and why did he suddenly disappear?

Lin Zhen guessed that it should be related to the fact that the world of the Yang Realm would exclude the strong, but Lin Zhen didn't know the specific connection.

Lin Zhen frowned and stared at the person in front of him whose face he couldn't see clearly. Could this person really be the ruler of the underworld?

If so, where did he go before and why does he suddenly appear now?

Just when Lin Zhen was suspicious, another figure walked out from behind the suspected ruler of the underworld.

This man is lean and has a somewhat rickety figure.

When this person first appeared, just like the previous guy who was suspected to be the ruler of the underworld, only an outline could be seen.

However, Lin Zhen vaguely felt that this outline was very familiar.

Two seconds later, Lin Zhen suddenly understood why he felt that this outline was so familiar.

Because the figure of that person gradually appeared clearly before his eyes.

On the face covered with wrinkles, a pair of bright eyes looked particularly out of place. Lin Zhen had seen that face many times in the four years since he entered the Abyss. If nothing unexpected happened, he would never forget it in this life.

.

That's the face of the noodle stall owner.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to make such rapid progress." That day in the battle at Yinshan, the noodle stall owner was seriously injured, and he might not be able to recover even after hundreds of years of training.

But it was his good luck that the Lord of the Underworld, who had been missing for a long time, returned at this time.

The noodle stall owner looked at Lin Zhen at this moment and felt that Lin Zhen's cultivation was so advanced that he could no longer see through his true identity.

"It's really you!" Lin Zhen was very excited when he saw the noodle stall owner.

During the four years of Ming Yuan, apart from Master, the only person who could chat with Lin Zhen was the rickety old man in front of him.

Moreover, the noodle stall owner would give Lin Zhen some small help from time to time, especially when dealing with Luo Yin. If it weren't for the brush that the noodle stall owner lent him, he might have died long ago.

"Haha, of course you are old. Boy, where is your master?" the noodle stall owner asked.

"Master... was repulsed by the power of heaven and earth and left this world." After saying this, Lin Zhen always felt that his choice of words seemed a bit inappropriate.

Master just left this world, not died.

Fortunately, the noodle stall owner did not misunderstand.

He frowned and sighed helplessly: "Hey...this world is in troubled times now."

"But it's good, at least our backbone is back." After saying that, the noodle stall owner stepped back and let the master of the underworld come out.

"Is he really the ruler of the underworld?!" Lin Zhen's eyes widened.

Although the matter was almost confirmed just now, Lin Zhen still felt extremely shocked after receiving the confirmation from the noodle stall owner.

"It's true." The voice of the Lord of the Underworld reached Lin Zhen's ears again.

"Originally, this world has been sealed away by me and a few other old guys using special means. Even we can't find its location." The Lord of the Underworld began to explain.

"I originally thought that this world would be completely isolated from the outside world after this, and the creatures in it would evolve and live according to perfect laws. Unfortunately, I still missed something..."

"Perhaps this is what is bound to happen, and every world is no exception. Even if we intervene, it will only delay its arrival..."

Lin Zhen only understood half of what the Lord of the Underworld said.

In other words, this world was previously sealed by the ruler of the underworld, together with some other powerful beings.

At this time, a question emerged in Lin Zhen's mind: "Is this world's power to repel the strong left by you?"

The ruler of the underworld immediately gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, when we wanted to stabilize this world, there should not be anyone who is too powerful in this world, so after we discussed it,

There is a rule left.”

"As long as the strength reaches a certain critical value, then this strong man will be sent out of this world."

"After leaving, they will be like us, unable to find the location of this world, and they will not be able to return. This is a kind of protection for this world."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly. What the other party said was indeed correct, but this kind of protection indirectly became one of the culprits that allowed this world to develop into what it is today.

But Lin Zhen quickly thought of another thing: "Why does the critical value gradually decrease, but those strong men who left are still summoned back by some spells?"

"The magic you are talking about should be referring to the magic of inviting gods to take over the body. The essence of that magic is to communicate with the spirits of those who are rejected by heaven and earth, so as to establish a bridge between them. This

A medium that you may not understand yet..."

"As for the lowering of the critical value, this is also something we did deliberately, because our original idea was to reduce the number of strong people in this world to gradually achieve the goal of equality for all living beings. In addition, the resources in this world

, is not infinite, so reducing the number of strong ones is an inevitable measure."

The Lord of the Underworld is not stingy with his verbal explanations at all, and does not have the airs of a super strong person at all.

Lin Zhen listened attentively while digesting the information.

For Lin Zhen, this was a rare opportunity that finally allowed him to get in touch with the essence of this world and allow him to ask the questions he wanted to ask the most.
