As if he saw my shock, he continued: "The so-called controlling the world means controlling the life and death of the world."
"It is an attempt to build the legendary underworld with these twelve underworld roads."
I fell silent.
How capable do you have to be to have such an idea?
Although I haven't read many books, I also know that the underworld only exists in legends. No one knows whether it really exists, just like no one can be sure whether the soul can enter reincarnation after death and have a next life.
From what he meant, the Lord of Taishan Mansion behind The Other Side of the Underworld wanted to turn this legend into a real thing.
The existence of the City God is the beginning of their control over the world.
I also understood immediately that the City God today is indeed well known to the world. In the eyes of the world, the City God protects a place and is their patron saint, so they already have a very high belief in the City God.
Just like Coffin Village that day.
If the people of Tiancoff Village had not seen the appearance of the City God with their own eyes, even if Sun Youde and I killed the City God of Tiancoff Village, they would most likely not believe what I said. In the end, they might even be criticized by the villagers of Tiancoff Village.
Think we are harming them.
This shows the influence of today's City God on the world.
In other words, today's false gods, City Gods, have taken control of the hearts of the world.
Moreover, these pseudo-gods, the City Gods themselves, are not weak and can easily control people's life and death. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that these City Gods have actually achieved control over the world.
At this time, he spoke again: "It's just that the underworld is a legendary existence after all, and it is the destination of people after death."
"So even though that person has this idea, it's extremely difficult to implement it."
"unless……"
At this he stopped.
I asked, "Unless what?"
He sighed: "Unless those false gods he created can completely control the people of the world, and then lead all the souls of the people after death into this road to hell."
"Let those souls continue to live on this road to hell."
"This has transformed into a new underworld."
I was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean, the purpose of the Taishan Prefecture Lord doing so much is to enable the souls of people after death to continue to survive in a new form on these underworld roads?"
He nodded.
I couldn't help but fell silent.
This doesn't seem like a bad thing, right?
It is currently unknown whether the real underworld exists, which means that no one knows where the soul will end up after death.
But if the souls of people after death will come here, it means that their destination is at least clear.
Seeing my silence, he said again: "Do you think this is actually not a bad thing?"
I nodded.
I didn't deny it.
He smiled and said: "When I first learned about it, I didn't think it was a bad thing."
"After death, having a real destination is not a bad thing."
"But the mistake is that he didn't just have this idea."
"If he only has this idea, not only will I not stop it, but I will even help him if I can."
"But his ambitions don't stop there."
"His attempt to build a real underworld is actually just to have his own world, a world of undead and ghosts."
"And with such a world, he can dominate the world at will."
"Ordinary people cannot resist when faced with ghosts. In the end, a situation will arise."
"Yin and Yang are reversed."
"The living person becomes the puppet of the soul, and the whole world becomes the underworld in his mind."
My eyes narrowed slightly.
Yin and Yang reversed?
My scalp is numb.
To put it simply, the Lord of Taishan built the other side of the underworld and created these twelve roads to the underworld, so that there were so many city gods in the world, and those city gods became the faith in the hearts of the world and became the gods who protect them.
There is only one purpose.
Let them go from living to dead.
Let this world be dominated by ghosts.
In other words, if Mr. Taishan Mansion can do it, then the outside world will be the scene I saw when I came to the Dragon Burial Village.
That scene, it seems now, should be the epitome of the underworld that Lord Taishan wanted to create.
When I think of this, I get chills down my back and my hair stands on end.
"So, are you going to stop him?" I looked at him and asked.
But he shook his head and sighed: "How can I do that?"
"Now I have run out of gas and energy. If it weren't for the power of spiritual communication, I would have left long ago."
"I am here just to inherit the last wish of the previous generation of village guards of Dragon Burial Village, and I want to destroy this Huangquan Road."
"It's just that I underestimated that City God's ability after all."
"As the guardian of this road to hell, his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary city gods. Even if he was injured by the previous generation of village guards of Dragon Burial Village, I still can't get rid of him."
"If it hadn't been for the help of people from the Celestial Master lineage, which allowed me to cut off another half of his strength, I would have died long ago."
I was shocked.
It seems that people in the Celestial Master lineage also know this.
So does Li Bowen also know?
But when I think about it carefully, something is not quite right.
If Li Bowen knew about it, why would he say that Liu Yunsheng had tricked him when he first met me and knew that I came from Niang'er Village?
Based on this alone, it can be seen that Li Bowen has no idea about this place.
Or should I say...
My face couldn't help but look a little weird.
Could it be that the real reason why Li Bowen left here was because he was on the run?
But... is it possible?
I'm not sure.
At this time, he added: "If you can't get rid of him, you can't destroy this road to hell."
"And as time goes by, I will only get weaker and weaker, but he will continue to recover. Under the circumstances, he will eventually fail."
"After I die, the City God will no longer have any scruples. By then, the entire Buried Dragon Mountain Range, and even beyond the Buried Dragon Mountain Range, will be under his control."
"At that time, a great disaster will come."
"Fortunately...you're here."
He looked at me, and there seemed to be a bit of relief in his eyes.
I was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "Even you can't destroy this place, how can I do it?"
But he smiled and said: "It is not difficult to destroy this Huangquan Road, but it is rare to get rid of the City God."
"If I still have strength left, it would not be difficult to get rid of the City God, who has lost 80% of his strength. It can even be said to be very easy. But now, I only have one breath left."
"But you are different."
"The City God is only 20% powerful. Although it is a bit difficult for you to get rid of him, it is not impossible."
"And I see that you also have an Earth Immortal Sword. If I give you another one, there is a 50% chance that you can kill him."
