Chapter 556 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
Two days later, at midnight on July 15th, the time when the world's yin energy was at its peak, Su Jinyue went to the outskirts of the city so as not to disturb the residents near her residence.
Su Jinyue used the magic from the original owner's memories to open the Ghost Gate!
Yin energy gathers, the gates of hell open!
Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an exchanged a glance, then walked into the Gate of Hell.
The Ghost Realm was just as desolate as Su Jinyue had imagined.
What greets the eye is a dark, misty atmosphere, with visibility of only two or three meters.
But besides the desolation, Su Jinyue also felt a sense of loneliness.
Although there are no living humans in the underworld, it is a place where ghosts live, so it is not completely devoid of anything except yin energy.
Su Jinyue continued walking forward, encountering no ghosts on her journey to the underworld.
There is only one path to the underworld; there is no possibility of taking the wrong path.
However, the further Su Jinyue walked, the thinner the yin energy became.
Upon arriving at Fengdu City, it was reduced to ruins, with no trace of any wandering spirits.
Continuing onward, only dilapidated ruins remain of the Underworld, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and the Bridge of Helplessness, revealing their exact locations.
Only the River of Oblivion continues to flow silently as always.
Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an searched the underworld. The entire underworld had been abandoned for a long time, and all the law enforcement personnel of the underworld—oh, no, they should be called law enforcement ghost messengers—had disappeared.
It was as if the entire underworld had been suddenly attacked, and both the ghost messengers and the spirits vanished in an instant.
Su Jinyue was completely baffled. What kind of upheaval could have caused such a massive organization as the Underworld to crumble so easily?
"Jinyue, come here for a moment."
Su Jinyue looked up in Xiao Jing'an's direction: "They're here."
Su Jinyue walked over and followed Xiao Jing'an's gaze, only to find that he was looking at a stone.
The stone is in a pit about half a meter deep in the ground. The exposed part of the stone is black and about the size of an adult's fist. Judging from the appearance, the stone fell from the sky.
Su Jinyue asked, "Is there something wrong with this stone?"
Xiao Jing'an's expression was solemn: "This is a boundary stone."
"Boundary stone?"
Boundary stones are the essential foundation for a small world to stand alone; a normally functioning world will not have boundary stones.
The underworld is a part of the real world. The appearance of boundary stones in the underworld can only mean that a certain boundary of the underworld has been destroyed, and the broken boundary stones have fallen into the underworld.
After listening to Xiao Jing'an's explanation, Su Jinyue finally understood why the underworld had become like this.
The underworld was originally able to function normally, but at some point it was attacked or some accident caused it to malfunction, and even the underworld's messengers and spirits could no longer exist, or they all died and completely disappeared.
Su Jinyue sensed from the moment she entered the Underworld that in addition to the Yin energy, there was another kind of power in the Underworld.
After a while, she realized that it was spatial power.
Because the boundaries of the underworld are damaged, the spatial power of the temporal turbulence outside the boundaries has entered the underworld. Faced with the temporal turbulence, Yama and the Great Emperor of the underworld may still have some ability to resist, but the underworld officials and the spirits in the lower levels have no power to resist.
Therefore, the underworld has become so empty and desolate due to the long-term invasion of spatial power.
No wonder there are so many wandering spirits in the human world, and there is no restraint or control over them. If something happened in the underworld, then it makes sense.
Furthermore, if the underworld was attacked a thousand years ago, it is quite possible that the Imperial Advisor, who killed Xiao Jing'an, has survived to this day through some forbidden techniques.
However, how did Xiao Jing'an know that this stone was a boundary stone?
Xiao Jing'an remained silent. He didn't know why he knew, but when he saw the stone, the information about the boundary stone automatically appeared in his mind.
Seeing Xiao Jing'an's bewildered expression, Su Jinyue guessed that it might be due to the fragments of his soul. Since Xiao Jing'an in this world could have the memories of Xiao Jing'an in a parallel world whose life trajectory had been altered by her, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't also have the memories of her lover's soul from other worlds.
In this way, it makes sense that Xiao Jing'an knew about the boundary stone.
Su Jinyue then put the matter aside. How Xiao Jingan knew was not important; the key was what to do with the boundary stone.
Su Jinyue dug out the boundary stone, which was about the size of a football, and she could feel a surge of power emanating from it.
For some reason, Su Jinyue had a gut feeling that this boundary stone was extremely important to her and to the world.
Although she didn't know where this intuition came from, Su Jinyue subconsciously followed it.
After placing the boundary stone into their own space, Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an searched the underworld carefully again and found several more boundary stones of different sizes.
After collecting all the boundary stones, Su Jinyue prepared to return with Xiao Jing'an. There was nothing of value left in the Underworld, and the spatial power within it was not friendly to her and Xiao Jing'an, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.
After leaving the underworld, it was still dark, and Su Jinyue had no intention of returning to her residence in the city.
Before leaving, Su Jinyue had already asked the bureau for leave. Next, she was going to visit the ten locations she had identified to search for the rest of Xiao Jing'an's remains.
Su Jinyue randomly found a hotel, stayed for one night, and after dawn, went straight to the airport to explore the location.
Although there were ten locations and she had to travel constantly, Su Jinyue was still very fast.
In less than a month, Su Jinyue had already investigated nine locations, and in these nine locations, she found two more sets of Xiao Jing'an's remains.
During this process, the connection between Xiao Jing'an and the remains also saved Su Jinyue time.
If Xiao Jing'an and his remains are too far apart, there is indeed no connection between them. However, once Xiao Jing'an arrives at the burial site of the remains, he can sense them.
As long as Su Jinyue goes to a specific location and Xiao Jing'an doesn't feel any connection or pull, she knows that this isn't the place she's looking for, and she can just go to the next place.
Su Jinyue has already found nine locations and is now on her way to the tenth.
Xiao Jing'an's remains are still missing one last piece; whether they can be fully collected depends on the situation at this final location.
The last location was still in the mountains. Once they reached the foot of the mountain, the car couldn't go any further, so Su Jinyue went up the mountain alone. By the time she reached the vicinity of the location on the map, it was already dusk.
Su Jinyue slowed her pace and began searching around. At this moment, Xiao Jing'an emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Jade.
"I sensed the pull of the last part of the soul; this should be the right place."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue's face lit up with joy. Finally, Xiao Jing'an's soul could be restored to its original state.
However, before Su Jinyue could even utter a word of surprise, she heard another commotion not far away!
