Chapter 773: Original text: Chapter 26 Current World Gods, Path of the Nether River_2 Modified:
Strong, really strong. When Xiao Jie saw the ability introduction of the Guardian Giant Spirit, a surge of awe instantly arose in his heart.
As a tank-type profession, the Guardian Giant Spirit possessed extraordinary hardness, innate spell resistance and defensive capabilities. Once activated, for 30 seconds it was essentially invincible.
With 300 defense and 300 spell resistance, ordinary damage could hardly break through this defense.
Moreover, due to the talent of the Guardian Divine Spirit, the damage was explosive too. Aside from the monsters like humanoids and beasts which had little effect, demons, ghosts, monsters—these common monster types—were significantly impacted.
What’s more important is that this profession also had the ability to cast divine power spells. Although it could currently only cast entry-level divine power, the maximum level was fifth-tier, comparable to the third transformation of the Divine Descent Master.
Though it’s now just a local deity, there’s an upwards path, with boundless future potential.
And it could acquire exclusive divine power spells by changing faith. That was truly remarkable.
If in the future it could beco sothing like a War God or Thunder God, then the exclusive divine powers would be extrely powerful.
It’s theoretically even more formidable than a Divine Descent user, as they need to summon deities for possession, but the Guardian Giant Spirit itself is a god.
Of course, while the future is promising, the growing process would undoubtedly be arduous. Spreading faith is no easy task.
Currently, there are only faithful from a tiny village, and if they face a massive monster invasion, the believers might be wiped out all at once.
It’s a long way to go with heavy responsibilities.
“Not bad, not bad. Later, let’s get so divine power spells from the auction house, then you can truly be considered a Master of Magic.”
Among divine power spells, healing and support types were most practical, particularly useful in real-world scenarios. This ti, I Want to Be Immortal truly ascended rapidly.
I Want to Be Immortal was thrilled, “Hahaha, thanks so much to Feng for your help. It’s all because of you this ti.”
I Want to Be Immortal had been playing the ga for quite a while, naturally realizing the magnitude of the power he obtained, greatly reducing previous frustrations.
In high spirits, he couldn’t wait to test the Guardian Divine Spirit’s power in reality later tonight.
Being a deity, heh, that’s imnsely powerful.
The three marveled for a while, then Xiao Jie turned to look at Ye Luo, who had leveled up even before I Want to Be Immortal, but hadn’t spoken much.
“Ye Luo, how’s your profession? Did you successfully advance?”
Ye Luo answered with a hum, “Very smoothly—I’ve already advanced to Huangquan Envoy. As for the abilities, I can’t reveal them.”
Xiao Jie felt helpless, as Ye Luo always seed cautious and never disclosed his profession attributes or specific abilities.
Whenever arranging tasks, Xiao Jie was uncertain about what tasks to assign Ye Luo, but Ye Luo always managed to complete his tasks successfully, giving Xiao Jie the feeling that Ye Luo’s true strength might never be fully revealed.
However, he understood—he also disliked showing off his abilities or telling others about them.
After all, abilities are one’s trump cards; in a life-and-death ga, so secrecy is essential.
“But regarding the abilities, I can demonstrate sothing. Do you rember I ntioned a surprise earlier? Follow , I’ll take you to a place.”
Ye Luo said, walking straight towards the northeast.
Xiao Jie felt puzzled; northeast was a river area, where were they going?
Nevertheless, he and I Want to Be Immortal followed, curious about Ye Luo’s surprise.
Along the way, they imdiately sensed a change in power. I Want to Be Immortal’s body glowed with divine light, and as they walked, zombies, skeletons, ghosts, and evil spirits automatically cleared the path. As long as the three did not actively attack, these scattered little monsters dared not approach.
During the Yellow Turban Warrior phase, the Demon-suppressing Spirit Light had sowhat similar effects, but not as effective; slightly higher-level monsters weren’t afraid.
Now, it felt like a tiger among sheep.
The three arrived by the river, and Ye Luo stopped at the riverside.
“This is…”
“Wait a mont, you’ll find out.” Ye Luo said plainly.
Grasping the Xuanming Sword, he took a power-charging stance.
Muttering:
“Blood contract Yin-Yang, nine springs co from the east.
Hundreds of ghosts carrying candles, thousands of spirits mourn.
Guiding souls, reflecting shadows, bones as stage.
Forgetfulness counterflow, Netherworld gate opens!”
With one sword slash, the air before them twisted, creating a rift, appearing deep as if space itself was torn—revealing a black and red light effect of spatial tears.
Xiao Jie had seen Ye Luo use “Impermanence Guide” to open the Ghost Market door, which was akin to opening a space-ti gate, but this ti it was completely different. If “Impermanence Guide” was like peeling off a thin veil from the real world, revealing the Ghost Market entry.
Then this sword strike seed to cut a hole through the real world itself.
That pitch-black and red passage looked like a scar in the real world, a hauntingly deep black-and-red tunnel, seemingly leading to Netherworld Hell.
“Where does this gate lead?” Xiao Jie asked, astonished.
“Netherworld.”
Got it right.
Ye Luo casually explained, “This is Huangquan Envoy’s exclusive ability; by summoning the Power of the Yellow Springs, it opens the gate to Netherworld, must be used by the river.
The Netherworld is filled with Netherworld Aura. Ordinary players entering would constantly lose attributes, even consu life value, making it impossible to stay long, very dangerous.
But I guess you two should be fine. Of course, if anything happens, rember to leave imdiately, don’t die.”
He then walked right in.
Xiao Jie was startled, thinking he intended to take them in for a tour?
Joking, right… Is Netherworld within their level range?
However, Ye Luo surely had a purpose. Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and stepped inside.
I Want to Be Immortal followed without hesitation.
Passing through the pitch-black and red passage, their surroundings changed dramatically. Though initially looking similar—it was gloomy like Ghost Mist Ridge—the Netherworld seed eerily different upon closer inspection.
The sky was deep green, adorned with vast halos, giving off a strange oppressive atmosphere, not completely dark but hauntingly dazzling.
Before them was a large river, matching the sa flow as the real-world river, but the water was blood-colored, fluxing westwards, looking similar yet flowing opposite.
The dark red water appeared endlessly somber.
Xiao Jie glanced at the map.
It indeed showed [Netherworld]. Upon opening the large map, only a small lit-up area in a corner indicated their position, the rest was pitch-black.
Ye Luo stood by the river nearby, seemingly searching for sothing.
Suddenly, I Want to Be Immortal’s voice ca from behind.
“Wow, Feng, is this really the Netherworld?”
“Seems like it.” Xiao Jie replied, checking attributes and blood volu.
It’s all good, no harm.
Xiao Jie’s Immunity to Cold and Heat along with Ghost God Also Avoid, these two legendary passives, ant immunity to environntal and ghost curse damage, hence safe.
I Want to Be Immortal was protected by the Protective Divine Light.
As for Ye Luo—obviously, he was safe too.
“Why did you bring us here?”
“Look at the river.” Ye Luo quietly said.
Xiao Jie looked into the river, noticing sothing peculiar. Initially thought to be waves, upon closer inspection, he was shocked to see translucent spirits floating amid the blood-colored waves, constantly moving forward.
“What are those?”
“Spirits of the deceased. The souls of dead from the Jiuzhou World flow into the Nether River, getting cleansed, eventually losing mories, becoming reincarnators to enter the Yellow Springs for rebirth.
However, due to the few living beings in Jiuzhou World, there’s limited reincarnation slots, causing most spirits to roam endlessly within the Nether River.
If I’m right, Han Luo, I Want to Seal the Sky, and Ting Yu should also be in the Nether River.”
