Deep in the Living

Chapter 316: The Ancestor's Last Wish

"I see... the entire cruise ship was swallowed from the beginning. This ancestor is not a small individual at all. Its body has specifications beyond the cruise ship.

Once swallowed in his mouth, a knock on the door will be heard.

Once you focus on the issue of "knocking on the door", the impact will be deepened. This is why I was able to resist the urge to open the door the first time, but I could no longer resist the urge to open the door afterwards.

Strange to say.

The digestive structure and digestion method of our ancestors are actually related to the door?

Is it because of its inherent structure, or is it intentional... or is it that the "Gate of Demon Ascension", an extremely important stage for demons, was inherited from their ancestors?

Suppose ancestors have a close relationship with doors?

Could it be that the construction and crossing of the Demon Gate by the demons is an act of atavism?
Or is it that the foundation of the real hell system is closely related to the door?

Whether it is the ancient demon ancestors or the new generation of demons today, they all need to use doors as a medium to achieve advancement by passing through doors?

anyway,

It can be seen that the concept of "door" is very important in the real hell.

Although our ancestors had simple minds, they were still conducting research on doors. This is a great opportunity, and I may be able to get inspiration for doors from them.”

Rody, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes and carefully observed the ruins he was in.

Broken debris would constantly fall off from the top, and once it landed on Rody, it would cause deep corrosion. The seemingly weathered dust actually corresponded to the digestive fluid in the ancestor's body.

However, Rody didn't care about the damage to his body as long as his core was not hurt.

“Since I came to the real hell, I have only seen two doors close to the ascended demons. One was built with real corpses, and the other was built with consciousness.

All structures inside the ancestor's body are related to doors. Some are simply decorative patterns, while others are used as supporting columns. They are an artistic style and an architectural unit.

No...I was still wrong!

The door is my own thing, so there is no need to refer to other answers. What I ultimately want to achieve is just to walk from this side of the door to the other side.

I am currently in the body of my ancestor. There is no need to think about how the door should be constructed. Instead, I need to take this opportunity to pass through more doors and walk through more doors.

Walking through these doors that have a history of tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years,

Only by experiencing this feeling can I really gain something useful. ”

Rody made a decision that even he felt was dangerous.

Instead of thinking about how to escape, he wanted to go deeper! He wanted to continue opening the door in his ancestor's body to experience this feeling.

The opportunity to pass through the ancestral door,
In Rody's opinion, this was the only chance he had, and he had to seize the opportunity instead of wasting time standing still. He was not an art connoisseur, but a human being who needed to keep moving forward.

There were many doors among the ruins, but Rody chose the door in front that led to the depths.

Without any knocking sound, it turned and opened.

Rody no longer thought about death, nor did he care about his broken body full of holes. He just wanted to experience the feeling of passing through the door.

Walk through the door that has a history of who knows how many tens of thousands of years, located within the bodies of our ancestors and containing ancient civilization.

【Transition】

To Luo Di, it was just a very ordinary thing. He had to go through a door when leaving home, going through a door when arriving at class, going through a door when going to a restaurant to eat, and going through a door when going to the office.

But now he suddenly realized a problem.

Pass the door,

It represents a complete change in the environment before and after, and can even change a person's entire mentality and thinking.

No matter where you arrive or what you want to do, the final behavioral change is often completed at the moment of passing through the door.

“I see… The reason why our ancestors worshipped doors so much and even developed a series of cultures related to doors is because of one thing.

They see evolution, advancement, and ascension as passing through a door. The door represents an important node.

Even the digestion process of this ancestor was refined into a process of passing through a gate. In this process, the conscious individual would be gradually degraded and transformed back to the most original life form before being absorbed.

Then, my door may be..."

Rody didn't know how many doors he had passed through. When he looked up again, the vague outline deep in his mind became clear.

An ancestral blueprint has been formed in the brain.

"I know how to build my own [door] now."

Just as he figured it all out, his steps stopped.

In other words, he no longer had any legs, his lower body had been completely corroded in the process, and he crawled forward relying on the tentacles that grew from the festering part of his abdomen.

I have arrived deep inside my ancestors’ bodies.
There are no relics here, no door structure, and there is only darkness.

And something seems to be slowly emerging from the depths of darkness.
"That is……"

Luo Di had a bad feeling and guessed what might happen next.

He did not take any action as he had done in the past when faced with danger, but just waited quietly.

"Door?"

Rody first saw a very ancient door moving towards him.

Then I slowly saw that it was not a real door, but a "face" with an arch structure.

Carrying this face is a dark body with a bulging belly and thin limbs.

"ancestor?"

The existence that seemed to be the ancestor came to Rody in the form of floating.
A sound similar to the sea came from the face of the door structure.
It was a language that Rody could not understand.

But based on the strange tone, Rody could probably understand part of its meaning.

The other party seemed to be praising him, praising his behavior,

Or maybe she was thanking him for his appreciation and recognition of the door, instead of being afraid of the door like other people.

It seemed that this ancestor had been longing for someone to appreciate, taste, and experience the door in his body and everything he had built for tens of millions of years.

Now that the goal has been achieved,

The ancestors will no longer do anything.
After all, He is just a corpse, moving unconsciously and relying on instinct.

Gradually fade away,

Rody's consciousness also began to fade as the danger was lifted. His body had already rotted away, and his spirit had been completely exhausted in the process of opening the door.

above the sea,

The satisfied ancestors opened their mouths wide,

He easily spat out the Chamber of Commerce cruise ship that he had swallowed, just like a peach pit stuck in his throat.

His huge, almost transparent body sank into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

Because it had been devoured for too long, even the golden cruise ship that the Chamber of Commerce had spent a huge amount of money to build was already riddled with holes, and its golden skull had completely rotted away, losing its performance as a ship.

Fortunately,
The ancestors also seemed to have been moving towards the dark side,

At present, the damaged cruise ship has been dumped on the shore.

It is not known how many tourists are still alive inside, but most of them may have been killed.

Such a huge golden skull stranded soon attracted the attention of the dark side.
A faint sound gradually rose in the darkness.
A large number of dark shadows drilled into the skull through the corroded holes.
