Chapter 713 City of No Return
Chapter 713 City of No Return
Lin Xiaohe stood atop the ruins of the City of Eternal Life, one hand resting on the void.
Beneath his palm, a golden summoning array rippled outwards, one circle, three circles, ten circles, spreading from East Street across the Bridge of Helplessness, across the place where the Bo River had stopped flowing, and spreading to every inch of the underworld.
Beams of light exploded from all directions.
Countless members of the divine race who had fallen on this land received the summons at the same time.
The commander, now a skeleton, drew his sword, the gleam of which, under the moonlight, formed a silvery tide. Behind him stood a massive, dark square formation, ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, countless boots striking the ground simultaneously, causing the waves of the river to surge.
Lin Xiaohe raised her hand and pointed to a giant city that was faintly visible in the darkness.
The golden runes in his palm exploded with a bang, transforming into countless golden streaks of light that shot into the dark clouds above the city.
Where the light flowed, a crack was torn open in space.
"Follow me into battle!"
Once Lin Xiaohe breaks through the remaining two cities, he can enter the boundary marker and take control of it!
Perhaps, we can even use this to enter the home universe of extraterrestrial demons!
This is a high-stakes gamble, betting on two divine heirs and the gods of this world.
In Hao Jiejie's memory, there was very little information about the City of No Return and the City of Rebirth. She only knew that these two cities were the earliest to arrive, the strongest, and the most powerful, and were the absolute main force in the struggle against the Underworld.
But what's the situation in the two cities? Where are they located? What does the city lord look like?
Ask three questions.
Lin Xiaohe considered many possibilities: consciousness entities, time-space prisons, giant beasts...
However, the fact that she did not return to the city was still beyond her expectations.
Sewage flowed freely, and bacterial patches proliferated.
A clump of cells encased in a plasma membrane was found separated from the surface of a corpse! The clump of cells was no bigger than a little finger and looked like a clump of white snot.
Lin Xiaohe...
No Return City, could you get any more outrageous?!
Lin Xiaohe had also experienced the process of being refined from the whole to the atom, so she knows very well how to survive as a cell.
First, she needs to replenish her energy.
Lin Xiaohe had many questions, such as how a cell carries consciousness?
One's own physical body and sea of consciousness are not ordinary bodies. How did the City of No Return manage to turn its physical body into a single cell in an instant?
However, he was completely unaware of this process.
This is an incredible thing! With Lin Xiaohe's current strength, no one could transform themselves into such a thing without realizing it.
Furthermore, where did Xiao Hei and Xin Bao go?
Where is the army I summoned?
With so many questions and things that defied common sense, Lin Xiaohe even wondered if she was under some kind of mental illusion. Was everything she was experiencing just a hallucination?
She used her senses to extend them outwards, as if she had touched some kind of mechanism.
A prison floor plan unfolded in her mind, followed by a text prompt.
Please select a suitable body within the prison; maximum weight capacity is 100.
flesh?
Lin Xiaohe ignored the voice and continued to expand her consciousness.
She saw 801 cells, each with a corresponding prisoner.
In the very center of the prison, there is a gray room that cannot be opened.
Beyond that, there was nothing left to touch.
Perhaps due to limitations in her cells, Lin Xiaohe's various abilities were all reduced.
"It seems that I did not actually become a cell, but rather entered a special world of rules, like a game, a dungeon, where the power of rules restricts the identity of those entering the city."
This explains why one can unknowingly become a cell.
It is possible that one's physical body is fixed in a separate space, while one's consciousness is pulled into this world of rules.
It's also possible that this cell is indeed one's own, but the rules of the City of No Return have trapped one's consciousness within this cell.
We need to observe further to determine which possibility it is.
Now, Lin Xiaohe plans to find several more bodies, as instructed. As a cell, there's really very little she can do.
Cells can only find those corpses by migrating like snails.
This process was even more difficult than Lin Xiaohe had imagined; it was far too slow.
Lin Xiaohe stopped selecting corpses and instead adopted the principle of proximity, choosing whichever was closest.
Finally, she encountered a corpse, and words immediately appeared in her mind.
Meng Jiangnu (white)
Her cries pierced through time and space; her tears filled the River of Oblivion.
[Skull: The most valuable part, weight requirement: 23]
[Left arm, right arm, torso, left hand, right hand: As you might expect, unremarkable, frail and delicate. Weight requirement: 5]
There are 5 body parts, and the total load requirement is 5. This is distributed equally among the 5 body parts, making it fair and reasonable.
Lin Xiaohe selects corpses based on cell morphology; even if Meng Jiangnu was weak, she still had two legs and two feet.
[Please confirm if you wish to obtain Meng Jiangnu's entire body? Required weight: 28.]
【Yes! 】
In the blink of an eye, the cells entered Meng Jiangnu's body and instantly regained their vitality.
Immediately afterwards, she smelled a putrid odor and felt a cold sensation.
The five senses that had been stripped away were restored due to the reconnection of the nervous system in Ningbo.
Lin Xiaohe was about to take a big step forward when suddenly, with a crack, she twisted her waist!
"This body... is indeed frail, no wonder it only needs to carry 5 weights."
Lin Xiaohe stood still, aimed her two hands at the fifth lumbar vertebra, and squeezed it hard.
With a snap, she regained her mobility, but the excruciating pain shot from her tailbone straight up to the top of her head.
Lin Xiaohe didn't want to cry.
It's true, strong women never shed tears.
However, her tear ducts seemed to be out of control, and tears streamed down her face.
In no time, the tears that fell formed a small puddle on the ground.
Lin Xiaohe was like someone with a split personality; her body was weeping and crying, but her mind was calmly analyzing the situation.
Given Meng Jiangnu's tendency to cry, she could easily have brought down the Great Wall.
However, if this body continues to cry like this, it will die again due to excessive water loss.
Ok.
Lin Xiaohe dragged her feet forward; it was time to change bodies.
With each step, the pain was excruciating, and the tears flowed even more fiercely.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Meng Jiangnu's brain size was only that of an average human.
Lin Xiaohe's consciousness felt as if it had been forcibly encased in a small glass bottle, rendering it unusable.
This is like trying to run Black Myth: Wukong with a 1990 computer. It's simply impossible!
"What a vicious rule."
If one wants to preserve the sea of consciousness, one can only maintain the cellular form. But cells cannot move, have no fighting power, and will quickly perish if energy is not replenished in time.
Once the cells follow the instructions to search for the corpse, they will inevitably be limited by the conditions of the corpse itself.
Lin Xiaohe wiped away her tears and walked towards the prison next door, leaning against the wall.
Having lived this long, I've never taken the path of frailty and delicateness.
This time, I learned a valuable lesson from Xiao Dao's experience.
Served before 5 PM on the second night.
