I have never seen such an embarrassing wild ghost, but I couldn't bring myself to ask about it at that moment. It seems I need to learn more about wild ghosts...
Without making any further comments, I glanced at the wild ghost and then turned my gaze to follow everyone into the somewhat dilapidated and desolate palace.
As expected, it did not disappoint. Inside was like a graveyard, with tombstones scattered everywhere, and there were even several exposed coffins lying on the ground. I instinctively shrank my neck and stopped being curious; this scene was truly frightening.
"Crack, crack—"
"What is that sound?" I asked quietly.
Some faint sounds began to emerge, growing louder.
Suddenly, I felt a chill rush past me. I turned my head and shouted, "Ah—! What am I seeing?!"
A figure covered in ** was crawling out of a coffin!
"Xi Meng, calm down. What are you afraid of?" White Soul patted my shoulder.
"Sorry." I exhaled. Although I had been in the underworld for a while and had seen many monsters and ghosts, I was still human, and this horrifying sight was hard for me to accept. Coffins have always been something people avoid.
"Do you know what he is?" Tiantian asked with interest.
I shook my head; I really wasn't interested and didn't want to know.
"He is Undead," Tiantian continued.
"What? Undead?!" I shook my head even more vigorously. How could that be? Why couldn't I feel any aura emanating from the Undead? Moreover, I sensed that the person was alive.
"That's right; this is Judgment Power," White Soul explained from the side.
Judgment Power - Rebirth?
I adjusted my mindset and gradually understood the purpose of this visit, continuing to walk forward with a serious expression.
"But, can the Undead also be revived?" I asked.
"That's right, but the chance is one in a million, and you must pass all the assessments of the Judgment Lord," White Soul replied.
"The power of the Judgment Lord is to decree rebirth?"
"To wash away the past and start anew," White Soul nodded.
As we moved further in, groups of people were orderly standing in place, regardless of age or gender, all dressed in plain white garments, eyes closed as if receiving some kind of baptism.
At the front, a kind-faced middle-aged man floated in mid-air, with short golden hair and a pair of snow-white wings. A prominent sun symbol adorned his forehead as he strummed the strings of a harp, emanating pure music while gazing lovingly at everyone with half-open eyes. In that moment, I thought I had seen the angel spoken of in legends.
It was hard to imagine that he had once cruelly made Flamingo disappear forever... I didn't know why I was reminded of that vibrant woman again; perhaps it was because I still felt regret for her. Was it true that none of us could escape a similar fate?
In such a peaceful and serene scene, my heart began to soften and relax. Perhaps this feeling is hard to imagine for others; only someone like me, who has just walked out from the depths of death, can truly appreciate the beauty of rebirth.
The music ended.
When I opened my eyes again, those men and women had long since vanished. Looking at the surrounding coffins and tombstones, I no longer felt so afraid; we were all alike, yearning for rebirth.
"Judgment Lord," White Soul respectfully spoke.
"You have arrived." It wasn't a question; it seemed he had been waiting for a long time.
"Yes, my lord. We apologize for keeping you waiting."
"Come here." Judgment Lord extended his right hand to us. Who is it? Could it be me? WhiteSoul whispered beside me, "Go." Then I took steps and came respectfully not far from Judgment Lord. "Tell me, why are you living?" "For the mission." "After all the hardships and hardships, you will still return to the original far point, are you willing?" What he means is that I can't escape my fate after all, maybe I will die. There is nothing, and perhaps it is all just a dream, and when I open my eyes, everything disappears. So, will I still feel that everything I am doing now is worth it? "Be willing to." That's right, I meet everyone and the people I love, how come it's not worth it? "They will leave you." Judgment Lord said. "All?" I still have expectations. "Well, you will be the only one left." ... I admit, at this moment, I really feel like I have been defeated by fate, can I still escape?
I turned back to look, and everyone behind me, whether present or not, appeared before my eyes, then one by one they vanished. In the blur, everything was gone.
“Aware So, do you still want to remain entangled in this?” Judgment Lord asked gently.
Do I still want to continue?
“Yes, I choose rebirth,” I replied firmly, lifting my head.
At this point, I actually no longer had the strength to choose, did I?
“Very well, remember your choice. Never think you can escape or betray your fate.”
I nodded solemnly.
I'm sorry, Silver Moon. It seems we really cannot be together. If you were here, would you forgive me for making this choice...
“Yes, my lord.”
...
My body felt as if it were wrapped in a warm ocean; this was the most comfortable transformation I had ever experienced, unlike before when each one was more painful than the last. However, thinking about seeing Silver Moon again in the future still made my body feel cold.
This time it's real; we will meet again soon...
