Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 187 Treasure Hunt
In the underworld, silence will cover everything.
Beneath the dark seabed, even the ocean currents are pitifully rare.
Everything is silent, but it does not seem corrupt, but pure instead.
Here, after Lu Bai regained his perception, he could sense that there were many things around him.
Countless things like gems are floating up and down here.
These gems emit a faint light, and it is thanks to this light that Lu Bai can see his surroundings clearly.
"It seems that I am still a little special." Lu Bai thought that after the death of other people, those unimportant things would be washed away by the Sea of Netherworld.
The fewer impurities there are, the deeper it will sink; the longer it has been dead, the farther it will float.
Lu Bai had just died a while ago, and was actually not far from the coastline, which was the "living" area.
But he sank quickly.
At this moment, he was already at the bottom of the sea, but still maintained his human form.
There is basically no silt here, but some grayish-white stones.
When Lu Bai picked up a piece, he could feel that there was a blank space among these gray-white stones, and only a frame was left.
Not far from Lu Bai, the light of a gem gradually dimmed, and then turned into a gray-white stone and fell to the bottom of the sea.
And that little bit of light turned into a blurry face on the seabed, and it could be roughly seen that it was a girl with a beautiful smile.
Soon the light dissipated.
This symbolizes that the last trace of a life has disappeared.
Looking at the countless gray-white stones piled up on the seabed, Lu Bai knew that this was the area where things that had been dead for who knows how many years were piled up.
Things that have value will eventually disappear as impurities are removed.
After it dissipates, only these blank frames are left. Although they are called frames, there is actually not much frame structure. They are even blanker than a whiteboard.
Lu Bai collected some of these gray-white stones and took them out when he was resurrected to see what he could transform them into.
Although all the information and knowledge have been dissipated, as long as things exist, they can still play a role.
It’s not easy to die, so you still have to try to get some benefits.
Lu Bai walked towards the nearest glowing gem.
When his finger touched it, the Ring of Life and Death sensed that there was something inside and it was quickly sensed.
It was a blurry first-person picture, in which a child was calling him "Dad" .
After a person dies, the unwilling "power" will be sucked into the Dead Sea.
However, those memories, cognitions and some emotions will remain in the underworld.
Those fragmented emotions are "impurities" that will be quickly purified by the underworld, and then valuable things will remain in the form of gems.
What exactly is valuable is influenced by many factors.
Some people regard the skills they are most proficient in as their most valuable possessions.
Some people regard a relationship as the most valuable thing.
Some people take a sentence as their life motto, and in the end only this motto is left.
This is a personal subjective perception, but there are also universal values.
For example, a teenager may not have any valuable memories or knowledge, but before his death he unexpectedly obtains a very valuable paper, and other people also know that he has obtained it.
Then even if he himself did not regard this paper as his most precious thing after his death, it would become his last remnant.
Because death is not isolated.
After entering the underworld and waking up again, Lu Bai's understanding of death became clearer.
Death is the first act of jumping out of the complex cause and effect system of the world, but death does not mean that you are truly irrelevant to the world.
Lu Bai discovered that these glowing gems also had some causal lines. These causal lines might be much fewer than those on living people, but they still existed.
The light of some gems disappeared because these causal lines disappeared.
This made Lu Bai think of what he said at the beginning.
There are three deaths in a person's life.
The first is death in the biological sense, your life characteristics return to zero and your body dies.
The second death is at your funeral, when your relatives and friends recognize your death, and your existence in society is defined as that of a dead person.
The third death is when the last person who remembers you also forgets you. Your traces in the real world disappear, and your existence is no longer known to others. Even if someone occasionally finds a record of your existence, they will not be able to accurately recognize you.
Lu Bai could overcome the first and second deaths, but he couldn't overcome the third death.
Here, Lu Bai gradually perfected the concept of his fifth skill, transcending death.
The personal symbolic mark is the weapon to overcome the third death.
Without much time to think about the philosophy of life, Lu Bai made good use of his time to hunt for treasures.
Throwing aside the gem in his hand that recorded the first time his son called him "Dad", Lu Bai grabbed the other gems nearby.
Lu Bai did not comment on those who believed that feelings and other things were the most valuable things, and that these things were actually not useless.
Emotions are sometimes another deadly weapon.
However, Lu Bai's focus is still on things that can directly improve combat effectiveness.
In the subsequent treasure hunt, Lu Bai roughly discovered the pattern.
The light of these gems is different and difficult to describe using the human spectrum, but different lights represent different types.
After having an accurate understanding, Lu Bai used the method of elimination to eliminate some gems that were definitely emotional.
After picking up about a dozen or twenty gems, Lu Bai finally discovered other things at the bottom of the Nether Sea besides gems, gray-white stones and sea water.
That's a hammer.
Wooden handle, steel hammer head, one side of the hammer head is a cube and the other side is a triangle.
"Relics?" Lu Bai currently has three relics: everlasting love, unforgettable love, and desperate waiting.
Although these things are all emotions, they have also been sublimated for some reasons that Lu Bai is not clear about, so that these things have extraordinary power.
The same is true of the hammer in front of you.
When Lu Bai touched the hammer, the Ring of Life and Death silently transmitted the information of this thing.
[The hammer strikes (unpossessed)]
[This is a testimony to the hard work of some people. They use human power to control high-precision instruments. They can find corresponding items as a support. After the support is completed, their true ability will be revealed.]
[Tip 1: You can also use it directly on certain mechanical creations, which will gain the effect of increased precision.]
[Hint 2: The choice of the object will affect the final ability of the object. ]
After putting the hammer away, Lu Bai searched again, trying to find similar relics.
However, the relics are still relatively rare, but they helped Lu Bai discover a new spectrum of gems.
[Talent: Divide]
[You have a natural and keen judgment of the entry point and cutting strength for dividing anything. ]
This harvest was still good. Just when Lu Bai was about to continue digging for treasure, he felt that the connection with the incarnation of the devil was gradually weakening.
The six desires transmitted from the incarnation of the devil are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.
It turned out that without realizing it, Lu Bai had stayed in this dark place for quite a long time while digging for treasure, and had taken the initiative to go quite deep into the dark place.
And the "purification pollution" of the underworld has always existed, and Lu Bai's condition has reached a limit at this time.
So without any hesitation, the demon incarnation in the world suddenly activated the internal force crystals reserved by Lu Bai and converted them into a large amount of life-attribute internal force.
It was all injected into Lu Bai's body.
At the same time, the stimulation of the six desires was increased, causing Lu Bai's senses to continue to expand.
Life force brought vitality, which could never reach the underworld. The connection between Lu Bai's soul and his body had been mostly severed.
However, with the stimulation of the six desires and the accurate connection between his personal demon incarnation and Lu Bai's soul, Lu Bai still felt a sense of vitality.
This vitality dragged his soul out of the bottom of the dark sea and rushed towards the world.
And in this process, the severed connection between the soul and the body is being quickly restored.
But just when Lu Bai was about to escape from the Netherworld, he sensed something.
Looking back, in the depths of the darkness, pairs of eyes suddenly lit up.
The light emitted by the surrounding gems was , absorbed by the location of the eyes, and then quickly turned into gray-white stone.
Under the gaze of these eyes, Lu Bai escaped from death.
