“What are live beads?”

“It’s an egg that’s about to hatch into a life but isn’t fully formed yet. There are already traces of a head, wings, and feet inside the egg. This kind of egg hatch that’s both a chicken and an egg is called a live bead,” Jiang Lu explained.

Lucifer was confused at first, then he thought of something and his expression immediately became serious.

He looked at Jiang Lu and said, “I want to put you in hell right now.”

“It’s just a joke, don’t be so serious.” Jiang Lu shrugged.

“Very tasteless.” Lucifer sighed, “You said you’re not that kind of bastard.”

Jiang Lu just laughed and didn’t argue any more.

Lucifer shook his head. “But speaking of it, such a long time has passed and they haven’t resolved the misunderstanding. At this point, I’m afraid even if they resolve the misunderstanding, there’s no room for redemption.”

“Why should we help them clear up the misunderstanding?” Jiang Lu was puzzled.

“Because it’s completely meaningless.” Lucifer thought of his own hell: “Many worlds that don’t know the truth are being dragged into inexplicable disputes. This is really unfair. I mean, they did nothing wrong. There is no need for them to lose their lives and homes for such inexplicable reasons, right?”

“Actually…” Jiang Lu pondered and said, “I think it’s hard to say whether this is a misunderstanding or not.”

“What do you mean?”

“You think so.”

Jiang Lu explained:

“The antiquities that Nodens mentioned are closely related to the Old Days, and their own powers come from those antiquities. I simply don’t believe that they don’t have any of the same characteristics as the Old Days.

After discovering this, didn’t the ancient gods have any awareness or curiosity at all?

They even figured out the inhibitory effect of antiquities on the old days. Wouldn’t it be a little unreasonable if they didn’t notice this?

But even if they find out, what will happen? Will the ancient gods and the old days make peace?

The bottom line of the ancient gods is that they want the territorial integrity of their homeland and want to drive out the old ones, while the bottom line of the old ones is to take back everything that originally belonged to them. It is impossible for both sides to be satisfied at the same time.

Moreover, the ancient artifacts consumed by the ancient gods can no longer be restored to their original state. Even if the destroyed world of the past can be rebuilt, those creatures cannot be reborn, and the hatred can no longer be resolved.

So if you ask me, the ancient gods probably know it very well, but the conflict between them is fundamental, irreconcilable and unsolvable.

Since the situation cannot be reconciled, there is no need for mediation. It is better to think about how to justify the cause. So they can only deceive themselves, pretending that they know nothing and justify their actions.

I have been on this land since I was born. I don’t know who created these worlds, but I only saw that you destroyed them in the old days. So there is nothing wrong with me insisting that you are an invader, right?

Didn’t you notice that Nordens kept emphasizing this point? The ancient gods were all bright and majestic, performed well on the battlefield, and were willing to sacrifice themselves, but the question is, why did the war happen? He didn’t say it.

After so much time, why did the war break out? Can you believe him when he says he doesn’t know? I don’t believe it anyway.”

“It sounds familiar…” Lucifer had a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn’t figure out where he had seen something like this before.

“Oh?” Jiang Lu raised his eyebrows: “Have you heard the story of the Indians?”

“Dry!”

“Anyway, I think you shouldn’t think too much about it. Any hatred between them is their business and has nothing to do with us.”

Jiang Lu has always been open-minded and refuses to waste time:

“What you just said is very true. It is very unfair that so many worlds that do not know the truth are drawn into the conflict.

We are just struggling to survive, eating and drinking. We are not those ancient gods who have really fleeced the old ones. It is normal for the ancient gods, as vested interests, to be targeted by them, but it is too unreasonable for others to die from unknown AOE.

It’s strange that only a small group of people can enjoy the actual things, but when it comes to taking responsibility, everyone has to bear it together. “

Lucifer pondered carefully and nodded slowly: “It seems… to make sense.”

“So if you ask me, it’s still the same thing.” Jiang Lu said very seriously: “No matter what the cause is, but judging from the current situation, if the ancient gods and the old days are gone, then there will be true peace.”

Lucifer felt somewhat relieved: “Then…is it still the same as before?”

“Yes.” Jiang Lu clenched his tentacles: “The second instance upholds the original verdict and rejects the old appeal!”

“So, what are you going to do?”

“Go back to the underworld, find the ancient artifacts, destroy the incarnation of Nyarlathotep behind the Yin Emperor first, and then settle the score with the Yin Emperor!”

Chapter 460 Searching for Antiquities

When faced with some unsolvable problems, Jiang Lu’s first consideration is often to simply get rid of the person who created the problem.

It is different from solving the problem of people who raise problems. That is a self-deceptive approach and the problem will always exist. But solving the problem of people who create problems is different. Regardless of right or wrong, it is much more convenient to eliminate the problem from the root.

This is the wisdom of the ancients.

Because if the problem develops to a point where it cannot be reconciled, it is likely to have already caused extremely bad consequences. Compared with the current bad consequences, some original intentions or initial causes may seem less important, or simply meaningless.

In short, take care of the present first. As for other issues of right and wrong, you can investigate them later and then redress them. Everyone does this, and it is normal.

“Then let’s go back first.”

Obviously, Lucifer had no objection to Jiang Lu’s idea.

“Come to think of it, we’ve been here for so long, it must be almost dawn over there, right?”

Jiang Lu shook his head: “Not really, the speed of time on both sides is different.”

Having said that, Jiang Lu started the boat and left the spiritual realm without waiting for Lucifer to ask further questions.

By the time Lucifer came to his senses, they were back on the same street they had been on when they entered the spirit realm.

The sky had not changed much from when they left, and the streets were still empty. Everything was the same as before.

Jiang Lu and Lucifer returned to their original appearance.

Lucifer struggled to get up from the boat, then stood on the street to relax his muscles.

The narrow space had already made him feel uncomfortable.

But Jiang Lu felt it was okay, because his room in the orphanage was very cramped, and he was used to curling up in bed every day, and this small space also gave him some sense of security.

So Xiaochuan naturally thought of those familiar days – the hard quilt with cotton wool curled up on one side of the duvet cover and couldn’t be pulled apart, the pillow that was higher on one side and lower on the other and concave in the middle, and the charging cable that was not long enough to support turning over.

Everything is so worth remembering.

“The time seems to be exactly the same as when we left.” Lucifer was a little surprised: “If I handle official business in the spiritual realm, wouldn’t I have a lot more time to rest every day?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lu sighed in a very stern manner: “I am speechless. With such conditions, you actually want to handle official business?”

“Uh…” Lucifer was stunned: “I am a little bit off topic, right?”

“Figure it out yourself.” Jiang Lu folded the boat and turned away.

Lucifer noticed that he was not heading to the mansion, so he asked curiously, “Where are you going?”

“Looking for antiques.” Jiang Lu replied: “It’s still early now, there’s still enough time.”

“No…don’t you plan to find a way to investigate it first?” Lucifer was a little surprised.

Jiang Lu felt strange and asked, “Didn’t Nodens say that? When observing in the spiritual realm, if we see something that strikes us as strange at first glance, it must be an ancient artifact.”

Lucifer’s eyelids twitched. “No, is the underworld your home or mine? Don’t you know how big the underworld is? Even if all the ancient artifacts are as big as that giant cocoon, the underworld is so vast. Just burying your head in the search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What’s the difference?”

The world seen in the spiritual realm is different from the original world. It is difficult to say which side is the original appearance of this world. According to Nordens, the ancient artifacts are not only different in appearance from those in the spiritual realm and reality, but also extremely weird, which can be seen at a glance.

But the problem is that even in the spiritual realm, what you can see is still from the perspective of the microscopic individual who has entered the spiritual realm. That is to say, what you see in the real world is a house, and in the spiritual realm, this house may undergo various anomalies, but what remains unchanged is that your perspective will still be filled with this house. It does not mean that as long as you enter the spiritual realm, you can open the God’s perspective plug-in for the entire map.

Being in a corner of the underworld, there is no way to see the entire picture of the spiritual realm of the underworld.

“Of course I know that.”

Jiang Lu said:

“And I didn’t expect to find it today, I just wanted to try my luck.

But to be honest, I feel that even if we are unlucky, there are a total of 18 cities in the underworld, and the ancient artifact is hidden in the last city we are looking for. It shouldn’t take long to find it, at most three or four days will be enough.”

“Are you kidding?” Lucifer didn’t know where Jiang Lu got his confidence from: “Do you know how much work this is?”

But in the face of doubts, Jiang Lu’s answer was full of confidence: “In fact, there is no need to search inch by inch. Although the underworld is now a modern metropolis, modernization is not reflected in high-rise buildings. The main style is still ancient, and the buildings are not high. So we only need to find a few commanding heights in each city, and then synchronize them, and we can know where something is. The ancient artifacts must be very unique, and we can see them at a glance even if they are far away.”

“Synchronize…” Lucifer thought of something and frowned: “What Eagle Eye Perspective?”

“Oh? You also like to eat canned food?” Jiang Lu was a little surprised.

“Forget it.” Lucifer sighed, resisted the urge to complain, and reluctantly agreed to Jiang Lu’s proposal: “Let’s give it a try. Anyway, there is no better way.”

“Then let’s start with Yinjing City.” Jiang Lu said, “If there is nothing in Yinjing City, we can go to other cities. Anyway, as long as we don’t leave the underworld, the Yin Emperor should not be able to detect it. We just need to show up in the mansion during the day.”

“Ah.”

After making a plan, the two of them took action.

Yin Di is a traditionalist. He is not very interested in some emerging things. If it is not an urgent need, he will not introduce them.

So even though according to the time calculation of the underworld, Jiang Lu has been away from the underworld for a long time, the underworld now has not changed much from the underworld in his memory. At most, everything that had symbolic meaning in the past, mainly sculptures of Jiang Lu or museums, has changed, but these are harmless.

Jiang Lu and Lucifer easily arrived at the tallest building in Yinjing City – Yinzhu Tower.

“You can overlook most of Yinjing City from here.” Jiang Lu introduced like a professional tour guide.

“So why is it called this name…” Lucifer has always wanted to ask why everything in the underworld has such a strange name.

“The full name is Dayin Pearl Tower.” Jiang Lv explained, “The main body of Dayin Pearl Tower is a multi-tube structure, consisting of 3 diagonal braces, 3 columns and a square, a tower base, a lower sphere, 5 small spheres, an upper sphere, a space capsule, a transmitting antenna mast, etc. It is 468 meters high and has a total construction area of ​​10 square meters. During my time as the leader of the underworld, Dayin Pearl Tower was rated as one of the top ten new landscapes in the underworld, and it is also my proudest work. Although I am not actually the designer, I have put my name on it, so it is not an exaggeration to call it my work.”

“Who asked you?!”

The friendship boat appeared here. Jiang Lu inserted it into the lightning rod at the top of the Dayin Pearl Tower, and then the two squeezed in.

Jiang Lu shouted, “Press e to start syncing!”

In an instant, the perspectives of the two turned gray, and the whole world was deconstructed and reorganized, presenting a bizarre scene…

Chapter 461: Trying your best but still not getting recognition

The originally ordinary buildings and pavilions appeared so strange in the spiritual realm, as if they had life, like trapped beasts imprisoned on the earth, floating and swaying. An unknown substance was attached to the surface of the buildings, making them uneven, turning everything into strange flesh and blood creations.

The courtyards are like bottomless bloody mouths, the streets are twisting and turning like wriggling intestines, and several tall buildings have spikes growing on them, just like poisonous snakes raising their heads to look for prey.

But their colors are so bright and colorful, like a beautiful yet cruel fairy tale picture.

Jiang Lu and Lucifer’s perspectives have left their bodies. Sitting in the small boat on top of the lightning rod, they are still maintaining the movements they had before their spirits left their bodies, but their spirits have been freed from their restraints and are no longer restricted by anything.

“This is actually the spiritual realm in the true sense, the area between reality and the spiritual river. Last time I took you directly into the spiritual river, so you didn’t see these.”
