Chapter 664 Black Rock City
The heroic spirits in the heaven and the ghosts in the underworld all come from the human world.
Not everyone will become a heroic spirit after death, but almost everyone will become a ghost and enter the underworld.
Therefore, the population of the underworld is tens of billions of times that of the heaven.
However, this does not mean that the strength of the underworld is stronger than that of the heaven, because most of these ghosts are mediocre mortals who will never be able to break through the third level in their lifetime. They can only rely on the blessing of the life span of the ghosts in the underworld to live for dozens of years.
Ten thousand years. Once they leave the underworld, all these ghosts will disappear.
The gods, heroic spirits, saints, etc. in the heaven are all dragons among men, and none of them are lower than the third level in strength.
The hard power of the underworld is lower than that of the heaven. It is impossible for all the underworld to attack the heaven. The heaven is also afraid of the countless ghosts in the underworld and does not dare to invade the underworld.
The Supreme Being of the Underworld is the Emperor of the Underworld, who establishes an imperial city in the center of the Underworld and nominally rules the entire Underworld.
Under the Underworld Emperor, there were twenty-four kings, who established twenty-four royal cities, each managing one side, with the Underworld Emperor as their master.
However, beyond these twenty-five cities, there is an extremely vast territory that is not under their control. Within these territories, there are strong ones who build cities and manage order, and there are also areas where the weak and the strong prey on each other, leading to darkness and chaos.
In Blackstone City, there is a fourth-level ghost, the Blackstone King, who builds the city, manages order, and protects peace.
Half a month after arriving in the underworld, a group of nine people traveled a long distance and finally arrived at the gate of Black Rock City.
"Is this...civilized?"
Yongta looked at the city with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Part of it is because of the experience in the previous half month.
For half a month, they kept moving forward and encountered countless enemies along the way.
Living humans are not a common thing in the underworld. When ghosts feel the aura of living people, they will come out to take a look, so they keep fighting until they learn to hide their own aura and simulate ghost fluctuations.
Under the constant fighting, the strength of everyone in the group has been upgraded to the third level. Among them, Rikka, who was originally the third level, has reached the third level limit.
With their increased strength, everyone's movement speed was extremely terrifying. Half a month later, the distance they had traveled was enough to circle the earth twice, but they still couldn't see the city.
They once believed that there was no sign of civilization in this world.
Until I saw this city.
Another part of the reason is because of the vastness of this city.
The city wall is 100 meters high and 10,000 meters long. Without looking at the city gate, you can't see the inside of the city at all.
Compared with Yuta, Danshengya, who inherited the memories of his previous life, and Rikka, who saw part of the underworld scenery through the evil king's true eyes, are obviously much calmer.
"It's great...it's such a big city!" Tushou exclaimed loudly.
Luo Zhidao: "This is just the smallest city in the underworld. Don't be too surprised."
Having said that, let's walk towards the city gate first.
The underworld, where no new people have appeared in 200,000 years, is very peaceful, and in such a small wilderness town, there is not much profit, and there is no other traffic, so no one enters or exits the city gate at all.
With no one coming in or out, there is no need for a city gate guard.
When the nine people walked into the city, what they saw was desolation.
A breeze blew by, sweeping up a cloud of dust.
Qigong asked in surprise: "This place...can't be some kind of ghost town, right?"
Hongkui smiled and said: "The cities in the underworld are all ghost cities. Could it be that you can still find a human city here?"
After getting along for half a month, everyone knew that Nightshade had dual personalities, which alternated with each other. The blue personality was gentle and shy, while the red personality was domineering, but she didn't mean anything bad.
When Qigong saw Hongkui teasing him, he blushed slightly and said, "I mean, there won't be anyone here... no ghosts, right?"
Because I have gained strength, and because I get along well with everyone, Qigong is no longer as hesitant and inferior as he was on the first day, and has returned to the maverick Qigong Zhiyin before.
"Let you explore this for yourself." Luo Zhidao: "We will stay in this city for a while."
"Eh?" Rikka was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to move forward?"
Luo Zhidao: "Your speed is too slow. It took you half a month to reach this small city. Not to mention reaching the invisible realm, even if you go to the underworld imperial city, with your current speed, you still have to fly at least five times."
Hundreds of years."
The five people were surprised.
Yong Tai said: "Is the underworld... so big?"
"Of course, haven't you already experienced it in the past half month? Therefore, the top priority is to improve your strength and increase your traveling speed. Then, let's talk about other things. However, this city is too small. When your strength reaches
After reaching the third-order limit, we have to continue moving forward.
Therefore, you still have another task in this city, which is to investigate the surrounding environment, and it is best to find a map to the royal city."
They were talking and walking. They had been away from the city gate for a while, and they just saw a ghost cleaning the door.
It was an inn, and there was a plaque hanging on the door, but the words on it were blurred.
The ghost who was cleaning the door didn't speak when he saw them. He just glanced at them briefly and then focused on the door again.
Yongtai walked up and asked: "Old sir, do you provide accommodation here?"
The ghost said: "If you want to live there, then live there. You can live in any room here."
"Ah, thank you, old man. The accommodation fee..."
"No accommodation fee, that thing is useless, you can stay wherever you like."
"Then let's help you clean up the inn."
The ghost immediately changed his expression and said: "No, no, no, no, no, I just want to clean the room for the fun of it, and you don't need it."
Yong Tai was confused, but it was better to have a place to live than to sleep on the streets, so they moved in together.
They inquired about the situation in the city, but saw very few ghosts. Fortunately, these ghosts were very bored. They were very enthusiastic when they saw the newcomers arriving. If Yongta and others asked any question, they would answer it as long as they knew it.
Therefore, they knew the current situation of Black Rock City.
To put it bluntly, there was dead silence.
When ghosts come to the underworld, they have no worries about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, nor are they bound by family and friends. The only thing worth striving for is strength.
However, most of the favored men of heaven have gone to the heaven, while in the underworld, most of them are mediocre people who have practiced for countless years and their strength progress is extremely slow.
If you persist for ten years or a hundred years, you can survive, but what about a thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years?
And now, two hundred thousand years have passed.
Seeing that there is no progress in their cultivation, will they persist?
I gave up long ago!
Even some guys with terrible perseverance have already left this small wilderness town and gone to the Royal City and the Imperial City.
The remaining ghosts in this city have no intention or possibility of progress. They have no pursuit of life and are just waiting to die.
With such a group of ghosts gathering in one city, it's strange that the city can be alive.
Like an innkeeper, if he can persist in cleaning the inn, he has outstanding perseverance.
