Chapter 478 The River of Eternal Sleep, the Final Destination of All Souls
The water of the long river was pitch black, not even the shadows of people could be reflected.
There was no sign of any living creature inside.
riverside,
Endless spirits, with numb expressions, stepped into the river one after another.
Just like ice and snow poured into hot water, they melted instantly.
This also brought their lives to an end.
Seeing this scene,
Qin Han was in a complicated mood.
Slowly said: "Explain."
The man carrying the bow and arrow had a look of doubt on his face.
It was unbelievable for him that this great spirit general appeared in the beginning of the spirit world without a mount.
This scene before their eyes is known to all the creatures in the spiritual world.
But this adult asked him to explain.
In an instant, a terrifying thought arose in his heart.
What if this so-called Spirit General is a new soul who just came in?
But what does it mean for a new soul to have the characteristics that only spirit generals have?
One thought comes to this,
The man's heart suddenly became eager.
If this is true, if he follows the other party, perhaps his future destiny will be completely changed.
"Sir, this is the Eternal Sleep River, the final resting place for all living beings in the universe."
"Most of the living beings who die are drawn into the spirit world, their consciousness falling into obscurity. Then, they line up and step into the River of Eternal Sleep. Their souls dissolve in the water and eventually flow into the Endless Sea of Darkness."
Qin Han: "Since the Ever-Sleeping River is the final resting place of spirits, then why do you and I exist?"
The man quickly said, "My Lord, it takes those ignorant spirits 360 days to walk from the initial passage to here. This is the last chance for all spirits."
"If you can awaken your consciousness within these 360 days, you can escape the eternal sleep."
Qin Han: "What kind of creature can awaken?"
Man: "My Lord, only beings with strong wills and profound cultivation can resist ignorance."
"This soldier must be a veteran of hundreds of battles, with unfulfilled ambitions. As he nears death, his passion is unable to be released, and only through various coincidences does he awaken."
"It's just that the vast majority of creatures don't have this luck. If they can't awaken on the first day, the probability of awakening later is very low."
Qin Han: "Who are you and why are you here?"
Hearing this, the man became more certain of his judgment.
This gentleman must be a brand new soul who has just arrived, otherwise he wouldn't ask so many elementary questions.
To be able to have such soul and body performance,
During his lifetime, he was definitely an extremely powerful person.
The Lord God? The Supreme God? Or the legendary Venerable?
He didn't dare to think any further.
Quickly lowered his head and responded:
"Your Excellency, my name is Zhao Yu, a citizen of Border City ahead. I'm here on the orders of the City Lord to search for the Awakened."
"As long as you send one back, you will get some rewards."
"This is how I survive."
Qin Han: "What are you going to do with the awakened spirit?"
Zhao Yu lowered his head, looking a little nervous. "My Lord, after the spirit is brought back, it will be tested to screen its potential, and then assigned a task."
"The strong ones will be trained and become the defenders of the city in the future, while the weak ones will do some low-level work to contribute to the city."
Qin Han understood the implication of his words: "What is the strength of your city lord?"
Zhao Yu: "My Lord, the city lord's strength is that of a high-level spirit, which is average among the surrounding cities."
Qin Han: "I understand. Let's go and take me to your city."
Zhao Yu quickly said, "Okay, sir, let's cross the river."
He pointed to a faint thin line in the distance to the left and said:
"Sir, even feathers cannot float in the Eversleeping River. The river water can corrode spirits, and there are restrictions on flying in the sky. If you want to cross the river, you must use the bridges on the other side of the river."
"The bridge to the other shore is not far ahead. Please follow me."
Then,
Qin Han stepped onto the back of the spirit eagle.
Zhao Yu led the soldier and jumped in front of the rows of spirits.
Soon we came to a bridge about 30 meters wide.
This bridge is right in the middle of the spirit team.
The material is like basalt, towering over the Ever Sleeping River, winding to no end.
On the bridge pier,
There was actually a spirit horse tied there.
There was no one on it.
Qin Han: "Is this your horse?"
Zhao Yu: "My Lord, sometimes we might encounter more spirits, so it's better to be prepared."
He handed the reins to Qin Han and said, "Please get on the horse."
Qin Han was not polite and climbed onto the spirit horse.
These horses from the spiritual world seemed to have some intelligence and were somewhat afraid of his breath, not daring to act out of temper at all.
The spiritual eagle that was originally in the sky has now shrunk to the size of an ordinary eagle, squatting obediently on Zhao Yu's shoulder.
"Sir, it will take a long time to reach the city. Let's go without further delay."
"it is good!"
Two spirit horses, carrying three spirits and an eagle, galloped towards the other side of the bridge.
The bridge to the other shore is so long,
This time they galloped for more than thirty hours before reaching the other side.
Looking back at the road we came from,
Qin Han said:
"The water of the River of Eternal Sleep is composed of an infinite number of spirits."
“Only one in a billion can make it here alive.”
Zhao Yu: "Sir, our place is the entrance to some low-level martial arts worlds. There are not many surviving spirits, but I heard that in some places where cultivation is flourishing, the number of awakened spirits will be countless times higher."
"Furthermore, spirits don't have a lifespan. As long as they absorb the energy of Yin spirits, they can survive for a long time. Over time, the number of spirits in the spirit world will probably be countless times greater than that in the living world."
"Only small places like these would search for spirits to replenish the city's population. Other places would even expel useless spirits and leave them to fend for themselves."
Qin Han: "I understand. Let's move on."
Several people continued to gallop on horseback,
After crossing the bridge,
The world before my eyes,
The sky was gray, as if the night had not yet ended and the day had not yet dawned.
The ground is also gray, flat and empty as far as the eye can see!
Occasionally, some bright, glowing plants can be seen growing alone.
There is not a single spirit around.
It feels like we have arrived in a no-man’s land.
Time, once again passed by in a long time,
one day,
Two days,
Three days,
On the fifth day,
The scenery I encountered was the same as before.
The road seems to have no end,
Anyone will feel lonely.
Qin Han asked: "How long will it take?"
Zhao Yu replied: "Sir, don't worry, we will arrive in two days."
"Two more days?"
Qin Han had a preliminary understanding of the vastness of the spiritual world.
How he wishes he had a tool for quick transportation.
Just going to a border town wasted so much of his time.
When we go to the depths of the spiritual world in the future, it will take several months or even years.
"Zhao Yu, is this how you spend your work every day?"
Zhao Yu: "My Lord, it is like this."
“It was a bit annoying at first, but as time went by, I got used to it.”
"This kind of deserted place actually makes me feel more at ease."
"The only thing you need to be careful about is that you might encounter evil spirits on the road."
