Chapter 22 Transforming the River of the Underworld
Under the transformation of Chen Yu and his wife, the originally deserted underworld gradually became lively and regained its appearance.
In addition to the large-scale soul teleportation array set up by Chen Yu, Jonouchi Hiromi added a little water source to this underworld that is no different from Egypt in the underworld, if the blood river can be called a water source.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the underworld is not underground, which is different from the mythology of other civilizations.
Although with the continuous replacement of ancient Egyptian dynasties, the gods have risen and fallen several times, and even the god of Hades has changed several times, the underworld has always been associated with the Nile River. Regarding Horus passing through the Twelve Kingdoms of the Night along the Nile River
Yes, there are also stories about the sun god driving the sun boat to shine on Upper and Lower Egypt during the day, and entering the underworld to fight Apophis at night.
Among these stories, the Nile River and the sun are undoubtedly the two most worshiped things by the ancient Egyptians, and among them, the Nile River has always connected Egypt's real world and the underworld.
Because of this, among the ancient Egyptian funeral ceremonies, there was a ceremony for the Pharaoh's mummy to walk along the Nile River in a sun boat, which also symbolized that the Pharaoh truly entered the underworld after his death.
However, if someone really plans to find the entrance to the underworld along the Nile River in this world, it will undoubtedly be in vain. Although the Nile River also flows through the underworld and the Twelve Kingdoms of Night, only gods and the dead can enter.
In other words, the underworld is an independent space. Although it is connected to the real world, and part of the Nile River flows through the underworld, the underworld and the real world are not the same space.
Chen Mo didn't know how the ancient Egyptians understood it, but there was no doubt that they did not think that the underworld was buried deep under the earth.
This may be why Osiris, the king of Hades, is also called the Pharaoh of the Edge of the World.
But for some unknown reason, the Nile River, which was supposed to connect the underworld with the real world and bring water to this land of the dead, has dried up.
Like the entire underworld and the ancient Egyptian gods, it is as if it has died, leaving only the dry riverbed.
Hiromi Jonouchi made use of the dry river, using his power to summon a huge amount of blood to flow in the dry river again, and reconnected the two different Nile rivers in the underworld and the real world, allowing the water of the Nile in the real world to rejoin.
river course.
However, because of her power, the water flowing in the river will be blood water in the underworld, and after flowing out of the underworld, it will become ordinary Nile water.
"The existence of the Blood River will maintain the operation of the underworld. After I connect it to the Nile River, the Nile River in the outside world will also have part of the function of the 'River of Styx' in mythology, and will extradite the souls of the dead within the concept of Egypt's territory."
Underworld." Hiromi Jonouchi explained to Chen Mo, and at the same time he did not forget to ask: "Speaking of which, this may conflict with the resurrection circle you set up. Do I need to make any adjustments?"
When she visited historical monuments across Egypt, she already knew that Chen Mo had established a huge network of resurrection circles in all cities in Egypt to control the souls of the dead and provide resurrection for the dead within the coverage of the circles.
Serve.
After operating for many years, the resurrection circle network deployed by Chen Mo has already covered the entire Egypt, and has recently been expanding to other areas controlled by him.
Therefore, Jonouchi Hiromi still considered the conflict between the resurrection circle and the underworld. She could completely give the concept of the "Styx" in mythology to the Nile River, and also combine it with the resurrection magic circles set up by Chen Mo in various cities in Egypt.
The arrays are connected together, so that the souls in the resurrection array can be led into the Nile River and extradited to the underworld. The souls can also be intercepted and directly reborn in the world.
After all, they are all from the necromancer family. Even if Hiromi Jonouchi is a death knight, she can understand how important it is for a necromancer to continuously obtain corpses and souls from a country, so she did not directly
After setting everything up, Chen Mo was fully consulted for his opinion.
After some consideration, Chen Mo asked Jounouchi Hiromi to connect the Nile's "Styx" concept to the city's resurrection network to ensure that souls could be extradited to the underworld instead of staying in the living world.
As for the original resurrection network, it will still continue to operate, but Chen Mo will also promulgate a new reincarnation law, allowing those souls who have obtained the qualifications to enter the underworld, and after being judged by the underworld, re-enter reincarnation.
Of course, how to formulate a specific bill is not a matter of course.
When Chen Mo first became king, laws such as corpse tax and resurrection tax were all formulated by Chen Mo because there was no precedent to refer to. It was inevitable that there were some unsatisfactory aspects.
After all, there were not many qualified legal talents in Egypt at that time who could assist Chen Mo in formulating laws.
But things are different now. Egypt now has a complete judicial system under the construction of Chen Mo, and various laws about the afterlife have also been gradually improved. Chen Mo believes that they can still formulate a new reincarnation law.
of.
So he planned to leave this work to the Egyptian judicial department to formulate and improve it.
While Chen Mo was making a decision, he couldn't help but curiously asked Hiromi Jonouchi: "Cousin, isn't your vocation as a judge? Logically speaking, you should help me build the Hades trial system, and my cousin, the God of Styx, will build it.
The river of the underworld that transports souls, right?”
"Hmm, that's true, but your cousin is better at casting spells and building various magic circles, so this more mind-consuming work is left to him." Hiromi Jonouchi laughed and said to Chen Mo
Explaining: "As a death knight, although I am not bad at casting spells, I am not as proficient as him, so I can just be responsible for opening up the River Styx."
Having said this, Hiromi Jonouchi seemed to have remembered something, and patted his head before saying to Chen Mo: "The reincarnation priesthood is with Xiao Yixi. She can't master the godhead of the supreme god yet, so after the reincarnation system, there will be me and you.
Let's build it together with my cousin.
But don’t worry, cousin, I will bring Yi Xi here to play when she is on summer vacation, and the reincarnation system will still be constructed using the supreme god-level reincarnation godhead, so you don’t have to worry."
"I'm not worried about this. To be honest, cousin, it's already a great help for you and my cousin to help me. If I ask for this again, it would be too ungrateful." Chen Mo also laughed,
He really didn't mind these things. If he didn't really have the strength to do these things, he wouldn't ask Chen Yu for help, but would complete them himself.
