This actor is full of tricks.

From this perspective, although the Evil Buddha was controlled by the skull of the God of the Underworld, he did not seem to want to be controlled and wanted to break free from the skull's control.

Lin Jue frowned almost imperceptibly, but why did he feel that he could break free from control?
"I don't quite understand what you mean, and even so, it doesn't seem to concern me much."

Lin Jue continued to play dumb, partly to try and extract information, and partly to buy time until Wang's reinforcements arrived.

It has to be said that his mental fortitude was extraordinary. If anyone else had been captured by a vicious beast and taken to its lair, they would probably have had a mental breakdown long ago. But he was still able to calmly try to extract information from the vicious beast.

"Because the skull can sense the location of other bodies. Within you lies the most important thing of the God of the Underworld..."

Lin Jue heard the words "most important" again. Besides the evil Buddha saying it, Number 1 had also said it in his memory.

"Remember...you are...the most important...one..."

These were Number 1's original words at the time, so it seems that Number 1 was trying to tell him about Hades.

The most important thing for Hades...

According to Lin Jue's speculation, it should be the system in his mind, but what part of the body of the God of the Underworld is the system?
The heart is a prison, and the skull is in a temple of indifference. According to the structure of the human body, these two things are the most important. What else is more important than the heart and the head?

Asking questions when you don't understand has always been a fine quality of Lin Jue. Xie Fo looked at Lin Jue, his lifeless eyes seeming to see through his soul.

"The consciousness of Hades... it is hidden in your deepest depths..."

Upon hearing his words, Lin Jue was filled with a monstrous shock: "The consciousness of the God of the Underworld?"

My system is the consciousness of the God of the Underworld!?

No wonder! No wonder!
He always felt that the system possessed its own thoughts and was always guiding him in a certain direction.

This is similar to the scenario in fantasy novels where powerful immortals, after their immortal bodies are destroyed, inhabit the body of an ordinary boy and guide him to soar to great heights.

“That’s right, that’s the most important thing for the God of the Underworld… A new consciousness has emerged from the skull, and it wants to find the God of the Underworld’s consciousness, devour it, and become the new God of the Underworld.”

"So, I found you..."

"It wants to devour you, but you can devour it too, so I can break free from its control..."

This doesn't seem like a good thing at all. Mutual devouring means that one side will always lose. What if Lin Jue is the one who loses?

"Aren't you afraid it will suddenly go berserk if you say such things to its face?" Lin Jue pointed to the skull of the God of the Underworld on the side.

"It's nothing..." The evil Buddha's face grew increasingly ferocious. He suddenly grabbed Lin Jue and threw him in front of the skull: "Both of you devour each other. He can devour you too. Let's see who's stronger between you two!"

Oh shit!

This evil Buddha is truly wicked; he acts without any rhyme or reason. One second he's speaking politely, and the next he's suddenly attacking.

The moment Lin Jue's body collided with the skull of the God of the Underworld, he felt as if his brain was about to split open, as if something extremely terrifying was drilling into his head. Furthermore, there were chaotic and disordered whispers all around him; he felt as if he had once again reached the edge of the dense fog zone—no, the chaos here far surpassed that of the dense fog zone!
"I'll devour you! Devour you!"

"Let us unite as one and become the new God of the Underworld!"

"What's thick fog or light fog? Lay down all resistance, and this world is in our hands!"

The voices around him were both male and female, incredibly noisy, as if all the information in the world was being poured into his brain all at once. This extreme chaos was like a storm raging at sea, and Lin Jue felt like a small boat in the eye of the storm, about to be swallowed up by the overwhelming waves at any moment.

"You think you can eat people with just a broken head? So what if you were once part of the God of the Underworld?!" Fire blazed in Lin Jue's eyes. He ignored the evil Buddha beside him, calmed all his thoughts, and focused on dealing with the chaos in his mind.

"Resistance will only cause your spirit to break down more and more, and swallow it up."

"Try to awaken the consciousness of the god of the underworld within you, or you will truly lose."

The voice of the evil Buddha rang in Lin Jue's ears. Lin Jue didn't know whether he should believe this extremely vicious beast. The main problem was that this guy's words and actions were completely illogical. He originally thought that the other party had malicious intent, but it didn't kill him directly. But if he didn't have malicious intent, the other party was pushing him to the brink of death.

In less than ten seconds, Lin Jue's mental defenses cracked amidst the chaos and were on the verge of collapse!
If we persist any longer, we might really suffer a complete mental breakdown, just as the evil Buddha said.

Now that things have come to this, Lin Jue has no other choice but to try to summon the system in his mind.

The system was still pretending to be dead, but Lin Jue now knew the guy's identity, and the situation was urgent, so he didn't care about appearances anymore and cursed in his mind: "Damn it, Hades, you're hiding in my body now, and people are coming to your door because they want to eat you, and you're still thinking of being a coward?"

"If this body dies, neither of us will survive!"

This was arguably the most emotional moment he had experienced since his transmigration. His experience in the entertainment industry had instilled in him a calm and composed personality, but that didn't mean he would willingly be used as a shield.

A soft sigh escaped Lin Jue's heart.

With that sigh, the small boat in the raging storm seemed to be lifted up by invisible hands, and it was no longer teetering on the brink of collapse.

All sounds around him vanished at that moment, and everything before his eyes began to rush backward. It was as if Lin Jue was making a spatial jump, and the surrounding scenery turned into tassel-like afterimages. In the end, these afterimages disappeared, leaving only wisps of black mist surging backward.

Then, within this endless black fog, Lin Jue saw buildings, some magnificent palaces, others dilapidated wooden houses, spanning hundreds of years. But these buildings were unrecognizable, having either survived fires or earthquakes. They crumbled and shattered before Lin Jue's eyes, turning into ruins.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jue witnessed the bloody war, the famine with thousands of starving people, and the dead city infected by cholera, where countless people died.

A world ravaged by war, a world of ruins, a world that bears the marks of all death. Those who died in the shattered buildings of reality have left behind a mark of resentment and hatred in this world.

Throughout history, every dead person and animal, every collapsed building, and even the trampled weeds by the roadside have bred resentment, which nourishes the dead world before us.

Until, in this soil intertwined with resentment, the first life appeared.

It carries the burden of all the resentment, hatred, and malice of life in the world of death.
