I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2265
Chapter 2265: Chapter 2264: Resurrection of the Dead, a Gate Hard to Enter
This young man’s strength can only be considered decent.
Just about at the level of the Great Saint Peak.
Although still an ant to Xu Zimei, his talent and age are significant.
Regarding Xu Zimei’s doubts.
The young man remained candid.
He said, “I’m going to save someone.”
“It’s not just me, everyone heading to the Netherworld Realm is going to save someone. Aren’t you?”
“Save someone? Save who?” Xu Zimei asked.
“My wife,” the young man replied with some puzzlement.
“Haven’t you paid attention to the recent news?”
“The Netherworld Realm is the destination for the dead. People from the Nine Domains, once dead, their souls usually go to the Netherworld Realm.”
“It’s said that as long as the body is perfectly preserved, you can bring the soul back from the Netherworld Realm, and the deceased can be resurrected.”
“This matter is quite sensational, and you don’t know about it?”
Frankly, Xu Zimei indeed knew nothing about this matter.
Moreover, during this time, the True Martial Holy Sect was busy establishing prestige, so he wasn’t too concerned with external affairs.
To him, it was enough to unwaveringly walk his Great Dao during this period.
The troubles of the ants did not interest him.
Regarding the young man’s words, Xu Zimei thought they were absurd.
How could the dead possibly be resurrected?
Even if resurrection were possible, it would require immense effort and cost. Honestly, it’s not worth it.
Moreover, not just anyone can be resurrected.
The conditions behind it are unimaginably harsh.
If it were really as the young man said, that revival only required bringing back the soul, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
The resurrection of the dead, the population limit.
This is something Heavenly Dao does not allow.
How is this different from a Heaven Challenge?
The Heaven Challenge is a direct confrontation with Heavenly Dao, and these actions involving the Great Dao of life and death are essentially digging up the roots of Heavenly Dao.
It’s known that everything between life and death must follow the rules.
The rules of life and death dictate a person’s entire life.
The life of mortals has long been determined.
Practicing cultivation and enhancing one’s life with increased strength are all within the realm of rules.
But the resurrection of the dead, there is no such rule.
And it’s impossible for such a rule to exist; otherwise, the world would fall into chaos.
“Who said that?” Xu Zimei asked with some amusement.
“Do you believe such a thing?”
“Why not believe it? Everyone is here. What if it’s true?” the young man retorted.
His wife was the most important person to him.
Or, the person each one wanted to revive was someone extremely important to them.
So even the slightest chance would not be missed by many.
Xu Zimei could understand this point.
…
Watching the young man leave, Xu Zimei looked at the Netherworld Realm above him.
Unlike other realms, the sky of the Netherworld Realm was black, shrouded in black mist.
Even without entering, just heading towards the Netherworld Realm exuded an oppressive aura of extreme death.
This is a place for the dead.
Only those like Xu Zimei or some truly powerful beings could leave the Netherworld Realm unscathed.
Other living beings entering it cannot leave.
This is the rule of the Netherworld Realm.
A rule established by the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
And precisely because of this, the Netherworld Realm hasn’t been so lively for many years.
“Looks like something big is about to happen,” Xu Zimei murmured to himself.
“But then again, after so many years of quiet, the intentions of the Lord of the Dead Spirits might have been discovered.”
“This is a test.”
“It’s just uncertain who the mastermind behind it is.”
“The Holy Court or some faction?”
Xu Zimei pondered simply but didn’t think deeply about it.
This is a headache for the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
After all, the primary target of those testing the waters is the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
And his secret undertakings.
Xu Zimei glanced at the Firmament.
He laughed, “It’s really getting more chaotic, isn’t it?”
But the chaos is good; for him, the murkier the world gets, the better.
He had only two purposes for coming to the Netherworld Realm this time.
One is to have a grand battle with the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
The second is to witness the world’s myriad forms and accumulate his Daoist Heart.
After all, he had just broken through the Ten Million Great Dao.
To continue breaking through in a short time is impossible.
What he needed most was accumulation.
Xu Zimei didn’t linger; he pressed forward with all his strength.
Because the Nine Domains are connected, his path was unimpeded, without any obstacles.
However, the closer he got to the gate of the Netherworld Realm, the more people he saw.
It seems that this incident has gotten quite big.
To enter the Netherworld Realm, everyone must pass through the Blade Mountain Fiery Sea barrier.
Xu Zimei was no exception.
When he first came to the Netherworld Realm, he caused quite a commotion at the Blade Mountain Fiery Sea.
Returning this time, it felt like things had changed.
Perhaps thinking the previous defenses weren’t strong enough, the Netherworld Realm had rebuilt the Blade Mountain and Fiery Sea.
Now the Blade Mountain Fiery Sea has become a checkpoint.
As the name implies, both Blade Mountain and Fiery Sea are assessed simultaneously, with difficulty multiplied.
When Xu Zimei arrived here, he found it already crowded with countless people.
A sea of heads as far as the eye could see, very intimidating.
Especially hearing many people discussing.
“Did Blade Mighty Wang Tianba also die?”
“He was hailed as the number one Ghost God blade, a newly risen Blade Dao expert, yet even he couldn’t pass the Blade Mountain barrier.”
“If even he can’t get through, we might be even less hopeful.”
“You can’t say that,” someone replied.
“We’re not going it alone, and with so many people, maybe the Netherworld Realm will step back.”
In essence, people have a herd mentality.
One person might be fearful.
But when many people do something, everyone goes with the flow.
That’s also normal.
But Xu Zimei felt that these people hadn’t really thought it through.
Because this time, they were all cannon fodder, or being used as pawns.
Unaware of it.
Perhaps this is the tragedy of the weak.
Some may doubt but still choose to charge forward for that glimmer of hope.
At this moment, countless people had begun to charge into the Blade Mountain Fiery Sea.
But so far, no one had truly entered it.
Dozens of people had already perished inside.
The momentum of the crowd had been suppressed.
After all, if they couldn’t even get through the gate, how could they talk about saving people?
Just then, someone shouted from the front, “The Five Elders are going in; there might be hope.”
“Five Elders, are they the Five Elders of the Earth Path?” someone pondered, recognizing the title.
Xu Zimei did not know them.
But he was impatient to wait and prepared to enter the Blade Mountain Fiery Sea directly.
However, the crowd’s attention was not on him.
