Even though he had traveled through time for more than a hundred years, ever since he found out what world this was, Xia Xian would occasionally recall the plots that he was familiar with. After all, to him at that time, the details and settings of these plots might be the key to his survival.
Therefore, when he saw this figure, especially when the other party's appearance was extremely similar to someone in his memories, his heart could not help but tremble, and his pupils constricted slightly.
As expected, his guess was correct.
This group of Gillians would mutate, it was man-made.
There was only one person who would do such a thing in the void.
Blue dye, right interface!
Lan Ran noticed the change in Xia Xian's expression at that moment. He was interested and asked softly,""What are you afraid of?"
Xia Xian did not answer his previous question. He did not seem to care.
When Xia Xian heard Lan Ran's words, his thoughts flickered, but he quickly gave an answer.
He knew that in front of someone like Aizen, who was extremely good at playing with people's hearts, the longer the silence, the easier it would be for him to see through it.
Therefore, he chose a half-truth and half-lie excuse.
"You should be the Grim Reaper, right?"
Looking at Lan Ran, Xia Xian said. Without waiting for Lan Ran to answer, he continued," About a hundred years ago, when I first came here, I met a man who called himself Death. He said that I would easily become something called 'Void' if I appeared in this world. Therefore, in order to prevent it from happening, he decided to give me a quick death!”
"At that time, he took out a knife and was ready to cut me!”
"However, before he could kill me, the void around me appeared. He was surrounded until he died. After he died, he picked up his saber!”
After a pause, Xia Xian's tone changed again." So, you're also prepared to kill me?”
"So what if I am? So what?" Lan Ran asked Xia Xian.
Xia Xian did not answer.
Lan Ran found it interesting and said to Xia Xian,""Don't worry, I won't kill you.”
"However, the dead Death God was right. You really aren't suitable to stay in this place, even though you've lived here for more than a hundred years!”
"But, if I don't stay in this place, where else can I go?" Xia Xian said self-deprecatingly.”
"All these years, I've been walking around here. All I see is the vast yellow sand and these towering white trees!”
"You can come with me to the Corpse Spirit World!”Lan Ran said.
"Corpse Soul World?" Xia Xian pretended to be puzzled as he looked at Lan Ran.
"This is a country of the void, called the Void Ring. A soul with spiritual power like you should enter the Corpse Soul World. You have stayed in the Void Ring for more than a hundred years. Without proper guidance, you can kill the Great Void by yourself. If you enter the Corpse Soul World, you will become a Death God soon!”
"Death God? It sounded like the name of a god? However, were gods transformed from souls? And not innate?" It was rare to meet someone who knew the ropes. Xia Xian seemed to have a lot of doubts.
Lan Ran listened to Xia Xian's words, and in addition to Xia Xian's previous words, she seemed to believe that he was a soul that had entered the Void Zone by mistake but did not become a Void.
In order to maintain his image as a good guy, he immediately gave Xia Xian some general knowledge about the virtual circle and the Corpse Soul Realm.
Xia Xian nodded repeatedly as he listened, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.
After Lan Ran finished speaking, she turned to Xia Xian and said,""That Death God should have been an expeditionary force back then. The Void Expeditionary Force is a Death God who has made mistakes. Under normal circumstances, they can't return to the Corpse Soul World, so he didn't think of sending you to the Corpse Soul World. But I'm different. Do you want to follow me back to the Corpse Soul World?”
Xia Xian did not hesitate for too long. Although he knew that Lan Ran had appeared in front of him with ulterior motives, since this person had noticed him, he could not hide even if he wanted to. Instead of hiding, he might as well use this opportunity to follow Lan Ran to the Corpse Soul World.
"I've already thought it through. I'll follow you to the Corpse Soul World!”
Xia Xian looked at Lan Ran and said calmly.
Then, he thought of another question." By the way, how should I address you?”
"My name is Aizen Yuusuke!"
"Then I'll call you Mr. Aizen!”
As he spoke, he greeted Lan Ran." Mr. Lan Ran, please take care of me in the future!”
Lan Ran was stunned. A faint smile appeared on her lips, but she did not respond to Xia Xian.
……
The Corpse Soul World was a world of the dead. The souls of those who died in the main world would either fall into the void and turn into nothingness, or be extradited to the Corpse Soul World by the Death God.
This world was further divided into two regions, called the Hailing Palace and the Flowing Soul Street. The Hailing Palace was located in the central area of the Corpse Soul World, where the Death God and nobles lived. As for the Flowing Soul Street, it was where some ordinary souls lived.
There was a strict hierarchy in the Corpse Soul World. Although the lives of the souls were very similar to that of the present world, they were still bound by this hierarchy. Compared to the hierarchy in reality, this place was extremely strict. Moreover, no one could live forever in the Corpse Soul World. The souls gradually aged at a slower rate than in the present world and eventually died. The souls could also die of illness or be killed. It was said that the souls that died in the Corpse Soul World would return to the main world.
It was just that he did not know who said this. Whether it was reliable or not still needed to be verified.
However, one thing was certain, and that was that in the strict hierarchy of the Corpse Soul World, the people with real status and status all lived in the Xuanling Palace. Other than the so-called nobles, there was only the Death God.
In the Corpse Soul World, to become a Death God, although there was no identity requirement, there was a prerequisite. That was-Spiritual Power!
Spiritual power meant aptitude, just like the spiritual roots in cultivation novels. Without spiritual power, one could not become the god of death.
To determine if a soul had spiritual power, the simplest way was to see if it was hungry. Ordinary souls could eat by drinking water every day, but those with spiritual power would be hungry because they had not learned how to systematically absorb the spiritual droplets in the air. At this time, they would need to eat.
Well, it was worth mentioning that all the substances in the Corpse Soul World were transformed from spiritual droplets. Therefore, the so-called eating was actually a disguised form of replenishing spiritual energy.
Xia Xian had been in the virtual circle for more than a hundred years. He had learned some superficial methods of using spiritual power by relying on his own fumbling. There was no doubt that he had the qualifications to become the Grim Reaper. According to what Lan Ran had said on the way to the Corpse Soul World, he had the potential to be a captain.
However, he did not know how Lan Ran had the confidence to say this. As far as Xia Xian knew, Lan Ran was not the captain himself, but only the vice-captain.
After bringing Xia Xian to the Corpse Soul Realm, Lan Ran did not bring him directly to the Hailing Pavilion. Instead, he settled him down in Liuhun Street. In Lan Ran's words, Xia Xian's background was very problematic. He would stay in Liuhun Street for a while and be an ordinary wandering soul. Then, he would wait until Zhenyang Spiritualist Academy enrolled students to register. He would study at Zhenyang Spiritualist Academy for a while. Anyway, with Xia Xian's aptitude, he should be able to graduate very soon.
After graduation, he would arrange for Xia Xian's future.
Lan Ran might have treated Xia Xian well, but in fact, he had warned Xia Xian a few times, especially during the hundred years that Xia Xian had been in the Void Ring. As an ordinary wandering soul who had not gone through orthodox learning, even if he had the qualifications to become the Grim Reaper, living alone in the Great Void Forest for more than a hundred years was already very problematic.
It was best not to tell others about this. If outsiders knew, even if he was the vice-captain of the 13th Division, he would not be able to protect him.
Xia Xian immediately promised that he would never tell anyone about this!
Thus, Xia Xian began his life in the Corpse Soul World.
