In life, people have two choices that change their future, depending on perception and sometimes destiny. No one can avoid the decision to fight and bite to death or die as a simple human.
After leaving the ancient cemetery for the second time, Gilgamesh was lying on a chair while Eris massaged his shoulders; her slender hands squeezed his muscles tightly, and there was nothing more peaceful than this. They were now inside the house on Killa's body, a house that now seemed like a cozy place to live.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as Gilgamesh took a deep breath and lay on two soft pillows, the entire demon continent suddenly shook. The entire Green Oak City trembled as if there was an earthquake.
There was a sudden change in his expression; Gilgamesh instantly calculated it in his mind, surprising him, and he immediately rushed out.
At that moment, many people were running outside. Eris and Roxy followed him; they were even more surprised and, seeing Gilgamesh's movements, followed him and saw something in the distance that left them speechless.
At that moment, a visual phenomenon was appearing on the distant horizon above the ancient cemetery. There were a series of green clouds from which a huge ship descended. At that moment, the entire ancient cemetery was permeated with an aura of lamentation that spread everywhere.
In the sky, above the cemetery all the way to the source of that released energy, there were small bubbles similar to water droplets. Soon, the trembling ground connected with the center of the ancient cemetery.
"The River of the Underworld has finally appeared and is released... Everyone lost their colors when seeing such a scene. Young people like Roxy or the twins became emotional and stunned because it was their first time.
The appearance of the River of the Underworld also signaled the arrival of the ship that guides the way to that legendary place. Groups from all over the world were here for the Underworld Ships, and the day they were eagerly waiting for has finally arrived.
"Isn't the legendary River of the Underworld located in the hell of legends? Why is it descending from the sky?" Seeing the river descend, Eris couldn't help but ask Gilgamesh.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Gilgamesh. If someone could dispel their doubts, it would be him, who could understand the world much better than they did.
Seeing the river flowing down from the sky, Gilgamesh shook his head gently and answered with a smile: "What you see is not necessarily true, and what you hear is not necessarily genuine either! It's not a fact that you're seeing the mana river flowing down from the sky, and it's not the truth just because you heard that it's underground!"
"Since time immemorial, countless people have sought the door to the supposed underworld. One legend after another has been created, and the only answer at this moment is that the earth has connected with the sky, dimensions have aligned, and timelines are linked."
"Does hell really exist in this world?" Dalia asked curiously. In fact, not only the interested young ones but everyone in general was curious.
There were many legends in this world. Countless adventurers debated whether there were ghosts and demons, as well as beings that have returned from death, but it was all in vain. If this world truly had ghosts and demons, then it would be the hell of legends, but no one had seen the real hell since ancient times.
Gilgamesh did not answer Dalia's question. He just looked at the sky toward the end of the mana burst, where countless traces of death surged with intensity. This phenomenon was very vague, but it was very clear in Gilgamesh's eyes.
"Is it really the underworld, or some phenomenon that is different from what is told?" In the end, Roxy softly asked out of curiosity.
Seeing the solemn and indistinct scene in the sky, where countless people were staring with fear, Gilgamesh only sighed softly at the end and said, "If there were any way to escape death, believe me, I would have saved my best friend back then. However, even the gods had no answer."
At this very moment, everyone in Green Oak City was observing this astonishing scene in astonishment, especially the elders who came in search of an opportunity to extend their lives.
"River of the Underworld... finally appeared..." Seeing the river descending from the sky, countless elders murmured excitedly.
In reality, at this very moment, countless eyes in different areas opened to look towards this place. It didn't matter if they were in the demon continent; every pair of eyes in the distance overflowed with suffocating auras.
Inside the floating fortress of the Armored Dragon King, there were many who looked towards the same direction with reserved thoughts; all of them wanted to see the truth behind this magical event.
The appearance of the River of the Underworld was enough to excite both the living and the dead within the cemetery. Being buried in a cursed land, there was a supposed chance for rebirth, but this was merely a chance. Countless people were buried there for hundreds of years without the chance to leave the cemetery.
However, with the appearance of the gateway to the underworld, both for the dead and the dying, this was an opportunity. Being able to intimidate the supposed underworld would at least give them a chance to survive.
Overnight, countless beings started heading towards the annex.
Even Orsted, the Dragon God, had come to Green Oak City and looked at the ship with mysterious eyes. He muttered, "Nothing is the same; what is happening with this timeline?"
If someone were nearby at this moment and witnessed this scene, they would be absolutely terrified, while the more cowardly ones fainted at the horror.
Boom!
At this moment, inside the cemetery, whether it was deep within the valleys, high peaks, or the rivers, countless beings left their ancient coffins and headed towards the ship.
Although rumors indicated that the ship would allow one's life to be prolonged once buried on the innermost route of the forest, this opportunity was extremely trivial.
As for being reborn and living for another era, that kind of phenomenon was just a myth.
"We have to observe what will happen; in the end, we'll contemplate whether to destroy this place or not..."
"Are we heading there tomorrow?" Since the River of the Underworld had appeared, Cusnfiel also quickly approached to ask Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh replied with a smile, "There's no need to be so anxious; we're not competing with ghosts. For now, many horses without reins are heading towards that place."
"Let's go to sleep; tomorrow will be another day."
Roxy didn't question Gilgamesh's words. At this point, many people were heading towards the cemetery; he returned to bed and lay down.
