Chapter 566: A Spirits Request (1/2)

Xue Wei's brows were furrowed as he listened to the history of the Ghost Realm. He had never expected that things would end up like this, but he did feel that this realm was not suitable to exist.

”The Ghost Realm was made with the best intentions in mind, but the Black Turtle Clan misjudged their own abilities. This is a realm on its own, but at the same time it is connected to the world of the living, and thus it can merely be considered a pocket dimension attached to the real world.

”Those who enter will have to constantly struggle to keep existing, but this realm is unable to accept anything living.

”I can imagine that plants, beasts, and even the Black Turtle Clan have ended up dying. The only trace of them left behind is likely this forgotten city.”

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes and nodded his head. It was indeed true that no living beings had been seen since he entered the Ghost Realm, but he still felt that it was a sad fate.

The Black Turtle Clan wished to help others and give them hope even after death, but instead they created a world full of cruelty and constant despair.

Perhaps it was for the best that they had not lived to see the result of their hard work. They had so many good ideas, but reality proved that things often turned out differently.

It seemed that the voice was also well aware that his guess had been correct and a sigh resounded in the empty hall.

”I warned them long ago. If we were supposed to give these souls a chance for reincarnation, and life after death, then we had to become connected to Diyu, but those old fogies were unwilling, and refused to admit defeat.

”Look at us now, the old guys have become nothing, and I have been trapped within a pagoda for such a long time that I almost wish I could disappear as well.”

Xue Wei did not doubt the truth of what the voice was saying. There was endless regret within each word, and he could feel that this soul no longer wished to continue taking over the position as a tower guardian.

”Senior, if you die in the world of the living, then you will come to the Ghost Realm, but if you die in the Ghost Realm, will you remain here, or will you dissipate and return to become energy for others to feast upon?”

The question was met with silence, but Xue Wei was not in a hurry for an answer. In fact, he was quite certain that even the owner of this voice did not know if the Black Turtles had become ghosts, or if they simply disappeared.

”In the end, it does not matter much which result the Black Turtle Clan faced. They would not remember anything, even if they had become lingering ghosts, and their initial intention would also vanish as they would be fighting for survival rather than intending to create a peaceful realm.”
