Start in Terra, immortal

In Kalon's perception, the space of the underworld seemed to have been forcibly drilled open by something, and the other end of this hole connected to the mortal world, which he could not freely set foot in.

The person who can travel from the mortal world to the underworld at will without relying on any special nodes must be extraordinary.

Almost simultaneously, as Rosso entered the Underworld, Charon arrived with his sword.

"What brings you to the underworld?"

As soon as Rosso arrived in the underworld, he saw a tall figure appear before him.

He wore a dark purple robe emblazoned with runes, his arms covered in bone-like armor, and he held a black longsword engraved with runes in each hand. Flowing dark shawls and red ribbons surrounded him. Most uniquely, however, was his face, which was replaced by a talisman.

After sensing the unique soul aura of the underworld, Rosso curled his lip.

"The spirit world must not develop like this in the future, with darkness and decay everywhere."

Caron was not annoyed by being ignored. People who have this kind of confidence are either powerful experts with sufficient strength or ignorant madmen. Obviously, the person in front of him was not the latter.

Charon had enough patience when dealing with strong individuals, especially those who could easily do what he couldn't. This was a lesson he learned even before becoming the Key Holder of the Underworld.

"Look at the environment of the underworld, it's simply not a place for humans to live. How can souls stay in a place like this? Don't you think so, Caron?"

Caron didn't have to wait long before Rosso responded to him.

"This is the proper destination for souls who die unnaturally: they are cleansed in the underworld before entering the cycle of life. The environment is not something that matters to the soul."

"That's just your understanding. You think the environment isn't important to the soul. Do other souls feel the same way?"

As he spoke, Rosso raised his hand and opened a spatial gate in the Netherworld.

As the portal appeared, the thin mist that permeated the underworld began to converge on it, and even the glowing spirits began to flow in involuntarily.

"Aren't you going to go see for yourself?"

Rosso extended an invitation to Caron with a genuine smile on his face.

Looking at the portal that seemed to lead to an unknown destination, Kalon hesitated.

As the key-holder of the underworld, he has the confidence to resist powerful outsiders in the underworld. Once he leaves the underworld, he is no different from a fish on a chopping board in front of powerful people, and can only be slaughtered at will.

But a call from the depths of his soul kept urging Kalon to step into that spatial gate, as if the other side of the gate was the ultimate destination of his soul.

Caron observed Rosso for a long time, and having known countless people, he could read goodwill in the smile on the face of this unknown powerful man.

In the end, Karon still stepped into the portal.

Seeing this, Rosso's smile widened, his mouth almost reaching his ears, and he followed closely behind, stepping into the spatial portal.

Within the spirit realm, floating on the sea of ​​spirits is a demonic continent indistinguishable from the outside world, inhabited by various demonic creatures.

Life permeates the entire continent. The only difference between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm is that the Spirit Realm only has daytime, no alternation of day and night, no seasonal changes, and even the weather is unchanging.

Although there are still various shortcomings, Caron believes that these are not a concern.

Compared to the underworld, this place called the spirit world looks more like the realm of souls.

Here, the soul retains its original form and is free from the erosion of consciousness found in the underworld. Before the spiritual matter is completely destroyed, the spirit does not need to worry about becoming an unconscious thing like a wandering ghost.

"If you have such a world, why did you come to the Underworld?" Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still asked.

"As you can see, this world is like a newborn baby, simple and fragile. It still needs to grow. Although I alone can provide the nutrients it needs to grow, it's too slow. We don't have that much time." Rosso turned to Caron.

"Therefore, I need help. The spirit world is essentially the same as the underworld, used to collect souls. And you, as the key-holder of the underworld, are qualified and experienced enough to help me guide those lost souls back to the spirit world. I wonder what your willingness is?"

"Can I really choose?" Caron asked, puzzled. He hadn't quite understood Rosso's words, but it was truly rare for someone like him to be willing to talk to you and ask for your wishes.

"This is better than the underworld, a sacred place for souls. There is no better place than this."

Then, Caron formally approached Rosso's face, bowed, and paid his respects.

"Thank you for not minding my lack of respect. I am willing to acknowledge you as my master. I will guide those ghosts and spirits... no, those souls to the spirit world."

"You can try to subdue some of those who should be in hell. Of course, you don't have to be so reasonable with them, as there is still a significant shortage of spiritual matter in the spirit world."

Rosso doesn't despise even the most sinful souls, whom the underworld wouldn't want. Sin is relative, especially in a place where even the rules can have a human touch.

Of course, if they are truly born evil, Rosso wouldn't mind letting them become part of the spirit world and contribute to its expansion.

"Come on, let's sign a contract so we can stay in touch." Rosso drew a magic circle in the void and landed in front of Kalon.

Kalon reached out and touched it. The magic circle emitted a bright light and slowly shrank, shrinking into Kalon's body.

Karon's dark purple robe began to turn white until, apart from the talismans and skin, he was left with only black and white clothing and decorations.

"Changing the color scheme of the clothes might be more in line with the characteristics of the spirit world; black and purple are too sinister."

Seeing the color scheme so different from before, Caron remained silent, just watching...

"From now on, you will become the master of the gate to the spirit world, the controller of the connection between the spirit world and other worlds, and responsible for the selection and absorption of spirits."

The Gate Master, Caron (Spirit Realm Limited Edition), makes his debut.

The moment the contract was successfully signed, the spirit world rumbled, and a star with a purple halo suddenly appeared in the sky, hanging like a purple moon.

In Rosso's perception, this purple moon was essentially a reflection of Charon's origin in the spirit world.

The people in the spirit world were not surprised; the addition of a purple moon in the sky had no effect on them whatsoever.

But Rosso was somewhat surprised; in his view, the spirit world could be considered a complete transformation.

"Would a unique soul like Charon contribute to the perfection of the entire spirit world?"

Rosso never expected that Charon's addition would bring such a change to the spirit world. This was a fundamental supplement, something that could not be compared to simply absorbing souls.

At the same time, undercurrents began to surge at the bottom of the sea of ​​the spirit.

Small "black holes" appeared out of thin air in the sea, silently and without any movement. They didn't even have the swallowing properties that "black holes" should have; they just hung quietly in the sea.

Suddenly, a 'black hole' began to slowly rise, gradually rushing towards the surface of the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Rosso, who had never thoroughly explored the sea of ​​the mind, was unaware of what was about to happen.
