The Styx is everywhere. But it only flows in the underworld. When Tao Tie came down from the Five Finger Mountain into the underground, he felt as if he had arrived in the underworld. This feeling is illusory, but once it arises, it will take root immediately and make people firmly believe in it. "Ah……" Shaking his head and sneering, Tao Tie suppressed the feeling, which was not what he wanted. For him, it doesn’t matter whether this is the real underworld or not, or whether this underworld is real or fake. As long as we can find the Styx here, which was awakened or created by the dark goblins' thousands of years of sacrifices. A trace of breath captured from the Styx stone slab worshipped by the dark goblins pointed Tao Tie in a direction. It seems that if we walk in that direction, we can find the River Styx.

"Let's go then." Tao Tie thought about it and took a step forward. It is dark and dark underground, but the visibility is not zero, it just requires a higher vision. The most troublesome thing is that the space here is extremely disordered. It's like a disorganized puzzle with countless unfinished pieces. There was clearly a grassland under my feet, but after walking a few steps, I reached the halfway point of the mountain. After walking a few more steps, I reached a basin again. There was no regular pattern at all. There are also space cracks everywhere, and no one knows where they lead to. Tao Tie took a straight line and headed straight for the goal regardless of any obstacles or changes. The aura on his body is naturally an imitation of the spirit of the dead. There are still more than 200,000 souls of the dead from Pingyuan County in the Taiyi Xuanzhu, so Tao Tie's simulation is naturally very accurate. No matter whether it is a person, an object or any strange existence, once they see him, they will not treat him as a human being. Of course, how could an ordinary ghost run around in such a chaotic underground space? The aura of the spirits of the dead simulated by Tao Tie is naturally very powerful. This made the natives underground, some spirits in the form of snakes, insects and ferocious beasts, dare not approach at all. In this way, Tao Tie arrived at a river very smoothly. The river rushes endlessly, the water is dark and heavy, the bottom of the water is covered with bones, and every splash of water is a soul that is sinking and being punished in the river. "Is this the Styx?" Tao Tie muttered to himself, thinking of looking at it from a different angle. Flying over the Styx is prohibited, but this does not prevent some means from being used to overlook it from high above.

The river is so wide that when you look down, your first impression is that there is a huge lake underneath. The view zooms in, approaching the lake. Yet, I had a strong feeling that I was ramming into a wall of sinners. Tao Tie stopped looking down and closed his eyes. The method of actively turning a blind eye, which had not been used for a long time, was used. Whether it is the physical eyes or the mind's eyes, close them all. [Knowing All Things] and the restless Taiyi Xuanzhu were held down tightly, and none of them were allowed to come out. Objective insights or analysis are not of much significance at this moment. What Tao Tie has to do is to perceive the Styx in front of him on a subjective level, so as to determine whether this Styx was born naturally or awakened by the faith of dark fairies. Just as space is disordered, time underground is also disordered. Before closing his eyes, the speed of time flowing where Tao Tie stood was not much different from that on the ground. After closing my eyes, the time flow rate underground to above ground immediately reaches sixty to one. This shows that the underground where Tao Tie was located was both different and similar to the underground where Duke Cheng and Duke Jing led their armies to attack. It's really chaotic. Tao Tie stood with his eyes closed for a long time, sensing for a long time. When I opened my eyes, there was a smile on my lips. Some things have not been fully figured out yet, but Tao Tie already knows how to cross the river. We also know how to use this river. As soon as he thought about it, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Seal between Tao Tie's eyebrows began to rotate. Marshal Guan, the inner-cultivation general who was in charge of Yin Zhongyang, jumped out riding on his red rabbit horse. After bowing to Tao Tiewei and exchanging greetings, Marshal Guan slashed a beam of sword towards the river. Tao Tie's body swayed, and he burst out at an extremely fast speed, following the knife light and landing on the river surface. The flash of the knife formed a black-sailed boat. Marshal Guan, riding on the Red Hare, turned into a dark cloak and draped it over Tao Tie. He put on a large hood, hiding his face and leaving only his chin exposed. Tao Tie held the bamboo pole in both hands and gave a light push. The black-sailed boat under his feet sailed quickly downstream like an arrow. The skeletons under the water roared and pounced forward ferociously, trying to drag the "people" on the boat into the water. One after another, the water splashes were chanting an inexplicable spell, as if they were cursing Tao Tie.

The hideous monsters transformed from the skeletons were all hit down with bamboo poles. The splashes of water were simply crushed by the boat. What seemed like an insurmountable obstacle to others was easily overcome by Tao Tie. This is the power of Guandi, the Emperor who rules over heaven and earth. The River Styx is too long, too wide, and too deep. It is unknown how long it would take for the black boat to reach its destination by just sailing in an ordinary way. But Tao Tie was not in a hurry at all, he just swayed downstream. Someone is anxious. There are millions of mountains on the ground. The outer ring forces, who were bearing the brunt of the sudden attack launched by the Celestial Empire's army, were all anxious about how to respond. As indigenous people, the dark elves and dark beasts became the losing side in thousands of years of fighting, so they gave up the jungles above ground and retreated to underground caves, which was a better situation. Because wherever the Celestial Empire's army passed, they did not kill all the dark goblins and dark beasts in the underground caves. They just blocked the holes one by one to prevent the dark goblins from having a chance to attack from underground. There are numerous underground cave passages and entrances, extending in all directions. Even if some of the holes are blocked, the Dark Fairies and Dark Beasts can still survive normally, and they can also dig tunnels to the inner ring. Perhaps, the Celestial Empire's army did this in order to get the dark goblins in the outer ring to migrate to the inner ring on their own initiative. In the human camp, the most difficult situation are the ancestral villages. It’s not that the Celestial Empire’s army refuses to accept the surrender of ancestral villages, but it only accepts one type of villages and refuses the rest. This type of village has several characteristics. First, their ancestral spirits were not formed by eroding the spirits of mountains and rivers, but were born from the faith and worship of the tribal villagers. Secondly, the tribal villagers killed for survival, not to indulge in tyranny and wield the butcher knife. Finally, the tribal villagers were willing to give up their belief in and worship of their ancestors and all the gifts they had received from them. With such harsh conditions, among ten thousand ancestral villages, perhaps only three or five could successfully surrender. The ancestral villages whose way of surrender was blocked, no matter they were free villages that had not sacrificed to the will of the Million Mountains, or puppet villages that had sacrificed, had no choice but to resist to the end. Then they were pulled out one by one and pushed away. As for the Outer Ring Mountain Lords who thought they would be attacked fiercely, the Celestial Empire’s army simply surrounded most of them without attacking them, and only attacked one of the mountains fiercely: Destroy Luoshan. The Lord of Mieluo Mountain, who once called for the establishment of a command group to unify the defense of Dayong Dynasty at the Mountain Lords' Conference, now does not have the high-spirited spirit of the previous period of time, sweeping away all forces within the radiation range of Mieluo Mountain like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The process of self-deification that was halfway through had to be temporarily stopped. Faced with the fierce attack of the Heavenly Kingdom's army, Lord Mie Luoshan, knowing that he could not hold on alone, made an extremely correct response. It first withdrew all its forces deployed on the periphery, not giving the Qing army the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Then, relying on the terrain of Mie Luo Mountain, they established several lines of defense and avoided fighting with the Celestial Empire's army in the field. Finally, Lord Mie Luoshan invited all the "people" he could, appealed to their emotions and reason, hoping to establish an offensive and defensive alliance. The Lord of Mie Luo Mountain, who has attained enlightenment from an alien species, is actually a Mie Luo snake. He is naturally close to monsters and ghosts among the alien species. If it weren't for the fact that there were few demon cultivators in the outer ring of the Million Mountains, and more of them existed in the inner ring and core areas, the Lord of Mie Luo Mountain would definitely invite the demon cultivators to come and help. What surprised Lord Mie Luo Mountain was that Xue Yan, the ancestor of the evil blood refining technique of the human race, actually came to him on his own initiative. When the offensive and defensive alliance contract was about to be signed. "What do you want from me?" The Lord of Mie Luo Mountain led Xue Yan to a side hall and went straight to the point and asked him directly. Xueyan laughed and said, "Come and see how unlucky you are, stupid guy." "What do you mean?" The Lord of Mieluo Mountain exuded a sinister aura and pointed outward with his hand, "If you come to laugh at me, Mieluo Mountain does not welcome you. Please go back to where you came from." "Ha ha……" Xueyan laughed even happier, but did not continue to provoke Lord Mie Luo. He tilted his head and made a disgusting pose of pretending to be innocent, "You still don't know why the Dayong Dynasty chose to attack you when there are so many Lords in the Outer Ring?" Lord Mie Luo was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Just because I called for a unified command, you took the initiative to attack the army of Dayong Dynasty?" Xueyan looked at Lord Mie Luo Shan as if he were a fool, and remained silent. The face of the transformed Mieluo Mountain Master could not help but twitch. He suppressed his anger and asked as calmly as possible, "If the reason is not that there is a traitor in the mountain master who leaked my call for unified command to Dayong, then it can only be because of the incident more than 30 years ago." "Of course it's because of that incident." Xueyan nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Dayong suffered such a great loss, they will definitely retaliate. The fact that they have been able to endure for thirty years proves that they want more and their revenge will be more thorough." "and then?" Mieluo Mountain Master stared into Xueyan's eyes and said, "Thirty years ago, you were also among those who did that. In fact, you humans are the main force, and we, the aliens, are just playing supporting roles." Xueyan blinked and suddenly sneered again. "why are you laughing?" Lord Mie Luo Mountain frowned, not quite understanding Xue Yan's train of thought. Xueyan laughed and said, "I am laughing at you because you are naive or you are blinded to say such... stupid things. To Dayong, what is the difference between the main force and the side drums? They are all enemies! They must be strangled!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Mie Luo Shan Lord's mouth: "So, you are still afraid. Tell me, what do you want and what can you give me? I don't have so much free time to talk nonsense with you here." Xueyan frowned and said solemnly: "We want you to fight with all your might, even if it means destroying Luoshan's earth veins by self-destruction, to hold Dayong back for twenty days. What we can give you is a chance to be reborn as a human." After a pause, Xueyan became more solemn: "With the Heavenly Dao of millions of mountains as evidence." "Millions of Mountains? Haha..."

Upon hearing this, Lord Mie Luo sneered once again, and there was even a strong murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Xue Yan. How can there be heaven's law among millions of mountains? As long as you become the master of a mountain, who doesn’t know the existence of the will of millions of mountains? The so-called Heavenly Dao of a Million Mountains is nothing but a puppet created by the evil forces of the human race and the ghost cultivators, used to fight against the rejection and erosion of the human race by the will of a million mountains. How could it be possible for an alien who had achieved enlightenment, the Lord of Mie Luo Mountain, to believe the oath sworn by the evil cultivators of the human race who pointed at the puppet-like Million Mountains? Facing the ridicule and murderous intent of the Mie Luo Mountain Lord, Xue Yan suddenly changed his words: "Then let the will of the millions of mountains be used as evidence." This slight change of words immediately made Lord Mie Luoshan realize that he had been fooled. The evil human cultivation forces represented by Blood Swallow only want the promise of Lord Mie Luoshan, and it doesn't matter what they swear. If you swear by the will of millions of mountains, you can achieve your goal. It's free and beneficial, so why not do it? The face of Lord Mie Luoshan suddenly became extremely gloomy, and murderous intent filled his whole body. Xueyan didn't feel frightened at all. He stared straight at Lord Mie Luoshan, waiting for an answer. After a long silence and a deep breath, Lord Mie Luoshan spoke: "Just reincarnating as a human is not enough!" Xueyan smiled and said, "It's enough to be reincarnated as a human, because the place where you want to be reincarnated is the Dayong Dynasty." This statement made Lord Mie Luoshan very excited, but at the same time he felt panic. Could it be that these evil cultivators and ghost cultivators of the human race have already created their Yellow Springs Underworld? Otherwise, how could we dare to swear by the will of millions of mountains and guarantee their reincarnation as humans in the Dayong Dynasty? Lord Mie Luoshan's mind was in turmoil, and he found it difficult to make a decision for a moment. If you can be a citizen of the Dayong Dynasty, who would want to be a snake in the mountains? Xueyan looked at the obviously moved Lord Mie Luo Mountain, with a dim gaze and a deep thought. Those ghost cultivators did create a Yellow Springs Underworld. But no one can guarantee that the "Yellow Spring" refined based on the Styx awakened by the dark fairies can really play the role of the legendary Yellow Spring. In addition, ghost cultivators dare to build a ghost town to imitate the Yama Palace, but no ghost dares to transform into a god of the earth and take charge of reincarnation! Therefore, whether the Yellow Spring can allow the creatures in millions of mountains to be reincarnated in the land of Dayong Dynasty after death is still a matter of debate. Anyway, they will indeed give Lord Mie Luoshan a chance to reincarnate as a citizen of the Dayong Dynasty. But there is no guarantee that you will be able to reincarnate successfully, right? An outlier is still an outlier after all. Even if he can speak and write, he can only play word games. Haha... Lord Mie Luo suddenly calmed down his chaotic thoughts, got rid of the temptation to be reincarnated as a person from the Dayong Dynasty, and said, "I want to take a look at your Huangquan Hades in person, otherwise, I can't agree to you." "Let's see." Xueyan replied, "You can go anytime you want." "Then now."

The Lord of Mieluo Mountain had an idea and directly pulled the Blood Swallow to escape underground in Mieluo Mountain. Xueyan did not resist, but after escaping underground, he took the initiative and quickly moved through the chaotic space with Lord Mie Luoshan. After traveling for a while, the man and the snake arrived at a rather strange place. A muddy yellow light shield like an eggshell enveloped a turbid yellow river. There is a bridge over the river, and someone is selling water at the bridgehead. There is a small town at the end of the bridge. It is called Fengdu. (End of this chapter)
