Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 163: Land
Communications side.

Came my sister's voice.

"Jiang Jian, the first half of the semester is about to end. When will you go to Chang'an Prefecture? Have you set a time?"

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "We'll set off in the next two days."

Jiang Zhao asked, "Will you take part in the final exam in a few days?"

Jiang Jiandao: "I probably won't participate."

My sister paused for a moment and said, "You never replied to the messages I sent you."

"Yes," Jiang Jian said softly, "I've been preparing resources recently and haven't had time to look at it."

The younger sister did not blame him, but asked, "Are you going to take care of Shi Xuan's affairs?"

Shaoshui, a tributary of Linjiang.

The water veins are cold and gloomy, breeding many evil spirits.

Jiang Zhao discussed with Yin Yin and others and they all agreed that Shi Xuan's behavior was strange and unusual.

Even Shi Xuan's name was erased from the school archives.

Finally, they were here, after discussing it.

The decision-making power was given to Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian said without hesitation, "Come to the First Courtyard Residence to pick me up at 8 o'clock tonight, and we'll go to Shaoshui to take a look."

My sister responded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"correct."

Jiang Jian's tone sank slightly, "Tell Liu Tiezhu and the others to keep the white jade that Shi Xuan gave them. Don't lose it."

My sister said obediently, "Okay, I'll tell Yinyin right away."

Communication hang up.

Seeing this, Jiang looked solemn. He took out his ID and opened a letter from the government office.

This was sent personally by Deputy Palace Master Jiang not long ago.

Jiang Jian had not read the contents inside.

But the title is in bold black letters.

"Internal announcement from Linjiang Prefecture."

"Several entrances to the realm of the dead have appeared within the prefecture's borders."

"Officials in the government office, please be careful when going out."

Received the communication at that time.

When Jiang saw this, he didn't care too much at first.

But combined with Shi Xuan's matter, Jiang Jian thought of this internal communication from the government office.

The world of the dead, also known as the underworld.

Among the four realms of Earth, Moon and Moon, this is the most bizarre one.

The surface world, including seventy prefectures, is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Prefecture.

The Star Ring Realm is governed by the Qishen Star Palace on behalf of the Earth Alliance.

The Moon Realm, the thirty prefectures of the Moon Realm, is the center of the Earth Alliance and the most prosperous place for human geniuses.

The world of the dead, the world of thirty prefectures.

Nominally, it is also under the custody of the Earth Alliance.

But this world has always been mysterious.

Its existence is different from that of the surface world.

In 2875, the Earth's star ring appeared, and under the illumination of the stars, the four-world structure of the Earth and the Moon gradually took shape.

The earth exists deep in the void.

Also in 2875, it appeared together with the Earth's rings.

After a person dies, if he or she has strong resentment, he or she will turn into a ghost.

If there is no resentment, and the death is not accidental, but death due to old age.

You will enter the realm of the dead, which is also the "underworld".

But the creatures in this world are neither ghosts nor demons, neither humans nor monsters.

But the scary "dead man".

The seventy prefectures on the surface of the earth have always kept their distance from the earth.

Because "dead people" are scarier than ghosts.

Few people have ever been to the Earth Realm.

Even fewer people know the details.

Under normal circumstances, one can enter the underworld only after death.

Living people cannot enter the underworld.

Among the creatures on earth, some with advanced cultivation have used special means to reach an agreement with the Earth Alliance.

The thirty prefectures in the terrestrial world are under the jurisdiction of the Earth Alliance.

But this is just scratching the surface.

That was the first time that the Earth's star ring was shattered.

The land seemed to have disappeared, without any movement.

Whether it is the seventy prefectures on the surface, the thirty prefectures in the Moon Realm, or even the Earth Alliance Center, they all hate it very much.

But there is nothing we can do about the land.

Because no one can get in.

but.

Ever since a man appeared on Earth, slaughtered hundreds of millions of Saturn creatures, shattered Saturn's rings with great supernatural powers, and snatched back a large piece of debris to rebuild Earth's rings.

The earth realm has an entrance opened on the surface.

These entrances appear randomly.

Every time, it would attract some living creatures to enter.

But the earth is where the dead stay.

No matter if it is a human, a demon, a ghost, or a devil.

Once you enter the underworld, there is no return, without exception.

The seventy prefectures on the surface of the earth have detection methods.

Every time a boundary entrance appears within the prefecture, the government office will issue an internal notice.

Ordinary citizens will not be notified of this information.

The notice would only be issued within the government office, and inspectors would be dispatched to surround the entrance to the land, prohibiting anyone from approaching. "Are you really going?"

Zhou Qingyue walked closer and looked at Jiang Jian, "There's no return from the Underworld. It's where the dead stay."

“Even ghosts don’t dare to go in.”

She pointed at herself and said, "Ghosts, although they are born of resentment, are still living beings after all."

"The dead in the underworld are much scarier than us."

Hear this.

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "Who said I was going?"

The ghost was stunned and asked, "Didn't you just promise your sister to let them pick you up in the evening?"

Jiang Jian turned his palm and took out a piece of white jade.

This was a gift from Shi Xuan a few months ago.

This piece of jade looks very ordinary.

But if you look closely, you will easily fall into it and even become dazed.

"This thing was sent by Shi Xuan."

Jiang Jian said softly, "I sensed that there was something terrifying inside."

"If you carry it with you or throw it away carelessly, something terrible might happen."

"For example, being dragged directly into the Underworld."

Jiang Jian sneered, "This is a time bomb."

"Shi Xuan has been abnormal since he disappeared."

"No, things started to go wrong the moment he got the bracelet."

“I don’t know the specific reason though.”

"But I have a vague guess."

While talking.

Jiang Jian's eyes turned icy cold, "Among them, the worst possibility."

"It's Shi Xuan's place."

"We need to be sent into the underworld to replace his dead mother."

"I won't go to Shaoshui."

"The hidden dangers in this piece of white jade will never be resolved."

"I went to Shaoshui not because I believed Shi Xuan's words."

"But we must wipe out this strange white jade."

Hear this.

Even though Zhou Qingyue was an evil ghost, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Her eyes trembled slightly, and after calming down a little, she asked, "But all these are just your guesses."

Jiang Jian did not refute, but said: "My guess, whether it is the truth or not, we will know tonight."

Zhou Qingyue continued, "I've read all your communications. Shi Xuan doesn't seem to be a bad person. Are you overthinking him?"

Jiang Jian said softly, "The human heart is a thousand times more vicious than a demon."

“When I was in middle school.”

"I once had a roommate who ate and slept with me every day."

"later."

"He was twisted by jealousy and leaked my notes."

"I've even seen fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, scheme against each other for property and resort to cruelty. This is also the evil of human nature."

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "People's hearts are like the wind, either kind or ugly, they change at any time and are not fixed."

“What was revealed may not even be a single point.”

“So, don’t trust anyone’s appearance.”

"Even if it's me."

"Zhou Qingyue, have you ever thought about it?"

"Is the me I show myself to be the real me?"

Jiang Jian looked at Zhou Qingyue, his eyes as cold as the abyss. "You are just a demon in the Yongquan Realm, yet your mind is so simple."

Finish this sentence.

Jiang Jian put away the white jade and stopped talking.

Zhou Qingyue, on the other hand, stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with thought.

The resentment that was boiling deep in my heart had unknowingly subsided again.

Time passed quickly.

It's getting dark.

The roar of the shuttle crossing the border came from outside the porthole.

"Zhou Qingyue, come with me."

The hatch opened, and Jiang Jian said, "Jixue, drive the shuttle across the border and park it at the academy's shipyard."

Ji Xue replied, “Okay.”

Zhou Qingyue said nothing as she followed Jiang Jian down the gangway and boarded another cross-border shuttle.

"Have you taken all the white jade that Shi Xuan gave you?"

Jiang Jian entered the cabin, looked at Liu Tiezhu and the others, and asked softly.

Yamaha jokingly said, "I dare not fail to carry out what you personally instructed me to do."

Liu Tiezhu noticed something and asked, "Is there something strange inside this piece of white jade?"

"I've researched it, but I haven't found anything significant."

At this point, Liu Tiezhu frowned, "However, there is a kind of aura in there that makes me very uncomfortable."

Jiang Jian said coldly: "That is the breath of the dead."

As soon as these words came out.

The cabin suddenly became quiet.

My younger sister Jiang Zhao, her roommate Zhong Ling, and Yin Yin were originally chatting and joking.

Hear this.

He also looked stunned and looked towards Jiang Jian.
