Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

"That's right." Wang Lingguan continued,
"Deeds, legends, myths. These are all good ways to become famous in the world and spread your title."

"Emperor Fengdu is not an ordinary god. He has a respected status and many followers. Of course, his name is also widely spread."

"So what is going on in the underworld?" Chen Ze brought the topic back in time.

"The underworld was naturally created by Emperor Fengdu." Wang Lingguan said directly.

Chen Ze was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Emperor Fengdu would be so powerful and create his own world. He immediately expressed his surprise.

"Actually, it is not particularly difficult to create your own world." Wang Lingguan said bluntly,

"It's because you don't know enough."

"Brother Wang is right." Chen Ze answered skillfully.

"Make a closed wooden box and close the lid." Wang Lingguan was neither contemptuous nor arrogant, so he calmly gave an example,

"This wooden box is under your control at any time, so you can create your own world."

"Is this okay?" Chen Ze finally understood.

"Of course." Wang Lingguan continued,
"You can plant some flowers, plants and trees in this wooden box and transform the environment, then you can give it a new name."

"I understand." Chen Ze followed Wang Lingguan's words and said,

"So it was Emperor Fengdu who encircled and transformed a certain land and turned it into his own domain. Then the underworld was created, and then the legends spread. Wrong, the next two steps should complement each other and promote each other."

"If he can rule such a popular place as the underworld, his followers will be more pious."

"Over time, the underworld will become a reality, and it will become like this in the hearts of mortals who believe in it."

After hearing what Wang Lingguan said, Chen Ze also had many vague guesses in his mind.

First of all, countless mortals, together with him, the "world" where Wang Lingguan was born and grew up before becoming a god, that is, the real world, should be the only one.

But based on the real world, there are countless special "worlds" or "fields" that would be more appropriate, and they coexist with each other.

The relationship between the two is similar to that in a building, there is the most ordinary and broad hall, and there are also many special and different rooms.

There are indeed many special realms like the underworld that exist in legends but are invisible in reality.

Such as the cave heaven and the blessed land dominated by many gods, the so-called heaven, and even the Buddhist paradise, etc.

These worlds that have left behind solid legends, but do not "really" exist in reality, are mostly similar places that have been opened up by the day after tomorrow, and belong to the exclusive domain of certain powers.

In fact, Chen Ze's base camp in Xianyue Mountain is a secret place that is also isolated from the inside and outside. In a sense, it can also be regarded as a low-end and simple version of the prototype of a blessed land.

Of course, legends may be true or false, and the fact that the underworld is true does not mean that other legends are true.

"That's right, just one click will make it clear." Wang Lingguan had no difficulty in understanding Chen Ze's wording, and was very satisfied with his inferences.

"But there are naturally huge differences between worlds. The lower worlds are nothing special. But when you reach the level of the underworld, it already has a vaguely transcendent nature. If the rules are inconsistent, it will be obviously repellent to the real world."

Chen Ze recalled the scene where the underworld appeared and his own feelings. There was indeed a feeling that it was truly a world of its own, different from the existing world.

"So." Chen Ze suddenly noticed the contradiction,
"Why did Emperor Fengdu create this excluded underworld? To better spread his name and convince others?"

"This is just incidental." Wang Lingguan shook his head slightly and said,
"Being a human being becomes an immortal is not the end."

"Besides, immortals also originate from humans, unless they are those alien species that were born and raised, or the very few creatures who became enlightened by accommodating strange objects, and there are other more special exceptions."

"Humans are born and raised in this world."

"So even if you reach the realm of immortality, you are still trapped by the rules of heaven and earth."

"If you want to go further, you have to touch the level of rules, but how can you win over the world itself?"

"So the sages thought of establishing their own realm, their own domain, and establishing their own rules."

If you can't offend him, at least you can hide him. Chen Ze added in his mind.

"Actually, this is also the expansion and manifestation of divinity growing to a certain extent." Wang Lingguan pointed around,
"Isn't this place the most special and powerful realm created by countless immortals and gods?"

"The underworld naturally contains the divinity of Emperor Fengdu. At the same time, Emperor Fengdu also left a mark on this world where we are, so you should have come to this world through this connection."

This time Chen Ze lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally cleared away the many doubts that had been blocking his mind.

Continuing with the analogy, Emperor Fengdu seems to have set up an independent server outside the Internet, and continues to promote it and attract people to join in to form a local area network.

Although the effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of the Internet that connects countless people, the advantage is that the rules are self-defined and the potential is endless. I am the master of my own territory and do not have to be restricted by others.

Moreover, they are not completely cut off from the Internet. They still leave a "network cable" that can be connected again at any time.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for clearing up the confusion." After a while, Chen Ze raised his head and saluted solemnly.

"No need to be polite." Wang Lingguan stroked his beard and waved his hand, staring straight at Chen Ze.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

Chen Ze thought to himself that since Brother Wang was so generous, there was nothing wrong with it, so he simply asked,

"By the way, Brother Wang, a ray of your divinity is guarding here, but where is your true body?"

This is both inquiry and testing.

Ever since he first recognized Wang Lingguan, Chen Ze had never let down his guard and deliberately avoided certain topics.

He has not forgotten that this bold brother who chatted with him for a long time has already died.
Although the records Chen Ze saw in the ink bucket may not be true, Wang Lingguan's remains were indeed refined and absorbed by him into the storage bag.

Is it possible that Wang Lingguan is not actually dead?
What he refined was not actually the remains, or was it not Wang Lingguan's at all?

"My true body." This question seemed to stump Wang Lingguan. He lowered his head and thought hard.
"Me, my true body."

"Brother Wang?" Chen Ze shouted again, but saw that the other party did not respond. Instead, he held his head with both hands and scratched his hair, his face becoming more and more painful.

It seemed like he was asking something he shouldn't have asked.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Ze quietly stepped back and distanced himself. At the same time, with a cruel heart, he simply threw out all his doubts.
"Brother Wang!"

"I came here once before, and you looked at me with the eyes on your forehead. Don't you remember?"

"Brother Wang, didn't you go to find Master Sa Shojian Sa? Brother Wang, have you finally found him?"

"Brother Wang, is your true body injured?"

"Brother Wang, how do you cope with the decline of heaven and earth?"

"Brother Wang, do you know the reason for the decline of heaven and earth?"

"Where have all the gods in the sky gone?"

"Brother Wang, what is the name of this world here?" Until the last question, Wang Lingguan suddenly stopped lowering his head and thinking hard.

"Brother Wang?" Chen Ze carefully repeated while staring at the changes around him,
"What is the name of this place?"

There was no movement. Wang Lingguan's hands grabbing his hair suddenly raised up and pulled off half of his head with the hair. Chen Ze was shocked to see it.

There was no flesh and blood in the exposed opening, only sparkling liquid flowing like waves.

Wang Lingguan raised his head and looked at Chen Ze.

The part he tore off was the back of his head, so the face in front was still intact.

Although it seemed that Wang Lingguan had calmed down, in fact, Chen Ze could clearly see that the other party's body was constantly fluctuating like a shadow, and the edges were gradually blurring.

"King" Brother Chen Ze didn't even shout out, but when he saw the intact face in front of him, he immediately began to distort until he revealed a truly ferocious face.

Although Wang Lingguan's face was originally angry and majestic, that was due to the arrangement of his facial features, but now, it was purely a naked and undisguised malice, as if he wanted to eat Chen Ze alive in front of him.

"Here." Wang Lingguan spoke, and his voice gradually became hoarse and harsher than that of an evil ghost. Everything around him began to tremble.
"what is it call?"

"Where exactly is this place?"

"Here, this is your burial place!"

When Wang Lingguan spoke, every time he uttered a word, the tremors in this world intensified, the light became dim and unspeakable, and changes followed one after another.

By the time he finished speaking the word "地", the surroundings had become dark, full of ghosts and shadows, and it was like a lifeless ruins.

Nearby, far away, and high up, the sky is full of immortals and gods. The originally vaguely refined and transcendent temperament suddenly turned into the completely opposite evil, evil, and dead air.

Everywhere he looked, countless immortal figures suddenly transformed, revealing the ugly faces of evil spirits and dead creatures.

For a moment, the sky was full of evil laughter, wails, moans, roars and other countless obscene sounds that seemed to be breathtaking, like a thousand thin needles stained with sepsis piercing Chen Ze's eardrums.

Dead bones and corpses are everywhere, rotten flesh is everywhere, smelly maggots and green flies can be seen everywhere, people who die with their eyes open are everywhere, scorched earth and filthy liquid are everywhere, vomiting and muttering are everywhere, and the stench is embarrassing everywhere.

Chen Ze, who was already trying to escape, lost his way for a moment. In a blink of an eye, he saw a man who was crippled and screaming strangely, holding up an iron crutch. He and six other extremely ugly old men, each with their own disabilities, surrounded a man with ulcers all over his body. The female figure must be forced to do the dirty work.

Chen Ze felt a chill all over his body, but his eyes flashed again, and he saw the eight figures all changed, with ethereal immortal energy, red clothes and feathers, and they looked like immortals at first glance.

"Quickly - go -" A trembling voice woke up Chen Ze like a wake-up call.

He looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that although the mutated Wang Lingguan's head had not recovered, his face had become kind, and there was no trace of evil in his face.

"You are." In the blink of an eye, Chen Ze saw himself back in front of Wang Lingguan.

"I am Wang Shan." Shanmian Wang Lingguan replied immediately.

The next moment, Wang Lingguan's face was extremely distorted again, full of malice, and he shouted with overwhelming resentment,
"I am Wang E!"

Chen Ze was startled.

It is said that Wang Lingguan's real name was Wang E, and he was a troublemaker. He ran rampant in the countryside, preying on the people, and he liked to eat boys and girls alive. Later, he surrendered and converted to Master Sa Shoujian, and changed his name to Wang Shan. Eventually, he became the Great Spiritual Officer of Tiandu, the number one protector of the Dharma. .

Moreover, Chen Ze noticed that as the king of good turned into the king of evil, the gods and gods in the sky also turned into filthy and dirty appearances.

"Let's go!" At this time, Wang Lingguan changed back to Wang Shan, and the gods in the sky also changed back.

"The name of this place has been taken away! Their divinity has changed! Leave quickly!"

"I can't leave." Chen Ze replied calmly,
"I'm already trying."

"Then stay!" Wang Shan transformed into Wang E in an instant, opened his mouth with a grin and was about to pounce on him,
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Chen Ze wanted to retreat, but he couldn't close the distance between him and the other party.

"Move your divinity back!" In an instant, Wang Shan appeared again, his figure becoming more and more blurred, and his kind face was uncontrollably distorted.

"Care! Feel! I just taught you that!"

Wang Shan seems to be trying hard to suppress Wang E,

"faster!"

In such a precarious situation, surrounded by evil spirits, it is undoubtedly difficult to force people to calm down and relax.

But Chen Ze. He has condensed a ray of divinity, so in a sense, he may no longer be regarded as a human being.

So he found his sense in this situation where the two heavens of immortality and evil were approaching, and his eyes and ears were full of ugly and evil appearances.

"It's useless!" Wang came up viciously, roaring and threatening,
"You've left a mark here, you can't leave! You can't leave!"

"Don't listen to him!" Wang Shan changed back in time,
"This place has long been ruined and plundered, leaving no trace at all!"

"You can go!"

In fact, without Wang Shan's reminder, Chen Ze would naturally try his best, so he took action.

"How to go!" Chen Ze yelled and asked without caring about the details of thanking him.

"Go to the underworld!" Wang Shan's face has been split from the middle, turning into two completely different halves of good and evil.

"Go back to the underworld! Just leave how you came!"

Chen Ze stopped talking and opened his eyes to look at the lightless darkness that existed all around like a background from beginning to end. He manipulated himself in a strange way, that is, his divinity floated into the distance.

"Don't even think about leaving!" Wang E seemed to be completely torn from Wang Shan. They each took up half of their faces and started shouting in a mess.
"Come on!"

"You can't go!"

"Never. Never."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"turn up."

"Stay with us hahahahaha!".
In the midst of Wang E's ferocious smile, countless pairs of evil hands, either pale or muddy, chased after him like hair, entangling Chen Ze like a mummy.

"Let's go!" Wang Shan's heartbreaking cry came.

"Don't worry! They can't stop your divinity!"

Chen Ze swayed slightly when he heard the words, and tried to tell himself in his heart that he would ignore all obstacles and continue to float towards the distance, towards the underworld where his true body was.

Thousands of rotten limbs that were oozing with pus and swelling stretched out, but Chen Ze remained unmoved.

A swamp of dirty, stinky organs and blood poured down on him, and the strong, foul smell seemed to be chewed up and poured into his mouth and nose. Chen Ze remained unmoved. (End of chapter)
