Volume 11: The Crown Prince Chapter 3: The Kingdom of No Death
How to reverse the current decline of the Netherworld depends on how the Netherworld operates.
The Netherworld Dead Sea condensed the elements of death into rules, which then continued to spread.
Death has spread to almost every corner of the multiverse.
However, it did not fully succeed, because other real dimensions were born afterwards.
After the birth of these real dimensions, various rules also spread around, and in the process of spreading, they mastered many futures.
With its driving force, it has naturally cast aside the constraints of death and even pushed it into its own core dimension.
For example, the abyss. Inside the abyss, there is no such thing as death. There is only a return to the will of the abyss.
Even the method of returning to the Styx is unnecessary.
The demons in the abyss are born immortal. Even if their bodies and souls are destroyed, their bodies can be reborn at will in the abyss.
Of course, if it is destroyed too many times, the abyss will gradually give up on this demon and finally keep it as a hidden piece of information.
In other words, the more you die, the longer it takes to resurrect. When you die to a certain extent, the resurrection time may be extended indefinitely.
But no matter what, the life and death of life inside the abyss is completely controlled by the abyss itself.
However, the abyss at that time could only take care of the inside.
But it is different now. Among the layers outside the abyss, there is also a Styx running through them, and the life and death of most demons have been transferred to the Styx.
This is because the rules of death have become unstable.
The instability of the rules is ultimately due to the Divine World.
Although the Filthy Land is also on the side of death, it symbolizes the unwillingness to die.
His appearance caused the rules of death to become strange.
It also creates many loopholes in the rules of death.
For example, in some places, after the death of living beings, they become undead spirits, but these undead spirits will not be captured by the underworld and can even stay in the human world for a long time.
Or there are some people who, although their lives are clearly over, use various means to keep their souls in the world, thus evading the capture of the rules of death.
The most obvious point is Lu Bai’s own incarnation, the lord of ghosts and monsters - Louis.
The other party has mastered the method of the original body. Through this secret method, he can replace the death of the soul with another. In this way, the soul can escape the constraints of the rules of death and become an original body similar to the higher undead.
And there are countless people like Louis over the years.
Most of these people have a deep and close connection with the Filthy Land.
In addition, other major real dimensions also intervene in matters of life and death. From the beginning, only the core members were able to decide their own life and death, but now, even some peripheral members can escape life and death with the help of the power of the real dimension.
All I can say is that the Netherworld now has no major problems, but a lot of minor ones, and its prestige has dropped significantly compared to the beginning.
And this is just one of the current drawbacks of the Netherworld. Due to the emergence of the Filthy Land, loopholes have appeared in the rules of death, which are exploited by most people.
Another problem is that we are at a disadvantage in the struggle over the general direction.
When an ordinary life dies, Lu Bai cannot interfere with the repair of the death rules.
However, the destruction of the dimension itself represents the interests of the entire dimension. It may be far less than the benefits of the death of the entire soul, but it is also a huge income.
Just this amount of income is now basically under competition.
The messenger of the underworld is in a weak position compared to the pleasure seekers of the filthy land.
Firstly, every Pleasure-seeker is in a state of either failure or death. They are urged on by the Filthy Land from behind, and once they lack benefits, their end may be more terrible than death.
In this situation, the person who pleases does things in one word: roll.
They dare to fight and are very proficient in all kinds of evil and crooked methods.
This is a skill they developed while they were inside the Divine World, escaping the Divine World's taxes.
Secondly, although the Nether Messenger itself does not have any major problems, the entire Nether Messenger system lacks progress.
Although Youming was not greatly affected by Heng, with the division of the Impure Land, he was eventually classified into Heng's camp.
The quietness of death gradually becomes eternal.
In this situation, the Messenger of the Underworld lacks a channel to ascend, but is also too quiet.
Even though the quality and ability of the Netherworld Messenger itself are not bad, and even its starting point exceeds that of many Pleasure Seekers.
But the trend on the other side is to roll up, while the trend here is to lie down, so the competitiveness is still not enough.
The problem is that Lu Bai now has no idea where to start.
It is estimated that internal reforms cannot be made, and it is also impossible to change the culture of lying down.
These are the current limitations of Youming.
Internal reforms involve numerous interests. Once these interests are touched, they will cause further instability in the rules of the underworld.
The key lies in constancy and change.
If Youming, who belongs to the Heng camp, wants to change internally, it may trigger suppression from the Heng rules.
The more it becomes, the more the power of the Eternal Force will suppress it.
Therefore, in this situation, large-scale reforms to reverse the trend are impossible.
Without the ability to make large-scale changes, reversing the downward trend in the struggle between the Netherworld and the Impure Land is like dancing in shackles and is fraught with difficulties.
"Let's start with the coronation." The circle of life and death was spinning behind Lu Bai's mind at this moment. He already had the qualities to be the crown prince of the underworld.
But the face has not been taken down yet.
Even within the underworld, no one except Elodos knew that the underworld had a new crown prince.
So if you want to take action, you need a grand coronation ceremony to announce your existence.
Elodos didn't care about this and let Lu Bai do everything on his own.
As for the coronation , the best outcome would be the destruction of a certain dimensional world.
Lu Bai looked through the information and then silently chose a target.
In addition to going to the corresponding dimension and making arrangements to guide the smooth death of the dimensional world, the messenger of the underworld also has to go to the corresponding dimension and make arrangements to guide the smooth death of the dimensional world.
It is also the responsibility of exploring whether the death operation within the dimensional world is smooth.
Although the death element of the underworld runs through most of the multiverse, some places are not detailed enough, and the underworld itself does not have enough energy to govern it comprehensively.
In this situation, we can only let the messenger of the underworld observe and provide detailed information.
"This country without death is quite interesting." Lu Bai quickly found some targets.
The most notable of these is a dimensional world called the Kingdom of No Death.
This dimensional world has already reached its limit. The internal rules are full of corruption and the breath of death has become particularly strong.
Logically speaking, this dimensional world should have been destroyed long ago.
But this dimensional world found its own way out at the moment before it was destroyed.
He completely surrendered to the dirty world.
It became a peripheral force of the Impure World, and with the help of the rules of the Impure World, it spread the influence of its own dimension to the surrounding areas.
Some natural dimensions around it were gradually attracted by it and regarded it as the "superior country".
According to legend, there is no death in the upper kingdom and everyone has eternal life.
Everyone can gain enlightenment between life and death, and thus ascend to heaven and gain eternal life.
All life seeks benefits and avoids harm, so the upper country is admired by countless people.
Thus, this land without death colonized the surrounding natural and fantasy dimensions with death.
Through colonization, it reaped a huge amount of benefits, constantly repairing its own dying dimension, and even promoted it to a super-large natural dimension.
Many natural dimensions of the surrounding area are therefore sacrificed and become its nutrients.
These natural dimensions naturally do not want to be colonized, but unfortunately, they have no way to break free.
Few lives within the world are sentimental about their homeland.
The inner life is afraid of death, moral thoughts have been completely ruined, and the smell of decay is everywhere.
To the underworld, this area has already rotted and become a diseased area.
There are many similar areas, but the Kingdom of No Death is the most high-profile and attracts the most attention.
There are even people from other dimensions who come to this deathless kingdom to study in pursuit of immortality.
It can be said that this country without death is a big place that attracts the wind.
What kind of wind is this? It’s the evil wind of Lu Bai!
If he wants to get to the top and gain face, and then use this face to gradually reverse the decline of the Netherworld, then perhaps he has to start from this kingdom of no death.
Sometimes, when it is relatively difficult to improve yourself, perhaps comparing yourself to the worst is the right thing to do.
If the underworld is limited by constancy, then the filthy land will be limited by change.
And change may not necessarily be for the better.
If I can't improve myself, then I can only attack my opponents and make them worse than me.
Thinking of this, Lu Bai immediately looked at the records of the Kingdom of No Death.
A total of more than sixty underworld messengers have made relevant records of this deathless kingdom.
More than fifty of the records are from dimensions that have been colonized and influenced around the Deathless Kingdom.
The remaining dozen or so entered the Kingdom of No Death to explore, and several of them were lurking and taking root there.
"It seems that this Kingdom of No Death also needs some changes." The Kingdom of No Death is so powerful and has been so deeply influenced by the Filthy Land.
But internally, one has always maintained constancy because he does not want his own dimension to truly die.
To a certain extent, this also goes against the logic of their camp.
The more things in the changing camp pursue eternity, the more variables they will accumulate.
According to Lu Bai's current view, this kingdom of immortality has accumulated many variables and may be just a little short of total collapse.
But it doesn’t matter, because once Lu Bai arrives, this shortfall will be made up.
He wanted to target the Impure Land. Although the Impure Land might not be aware of the appearance of the Crown Prince of the Netherworld, it was also aware of the shortcomings of the peripheral force of the Undying Kingdom, and it must have various defenses.
So, after confirming it again and again, Lu Bai used the rules of death to anchor the location of a fatal dimension next to the Kingdom of No Death.
Then he activated the dimensional channel of the God of Thousand Dimensions and went that direction.
