Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 591 Dinosaur
Mule's face showed a dumbfounded expression.
Li Ang raised an eyebrow. He could faintly sense the abnormal energy fluctuations at the end of the horizon. Was that... divine power?
Furey smiled and explained, "In *The Divine Comedy*, the souls of the unfaithful float here. They were neither praised nor left a bad name during their lifetime, as if they had never existed in this world.
"In addition, there are some angels who were neither loyal to God nor rebelled against Him. In the end, they were expelled from heaven and hell, wandering in the wilderness, crying and singing with the unfaithful.
"That was true hundreds of years ago, but we've changed it long ago.
"Now the ghosts crying on the horizon are not the unfaithful, but masochists."
Faced with Mule's confusion, Furey explained, "People in the real world use morality and law to restrain the various impulses in their hearts.
"But in the afterlife, they lose all constraints and no longer have to hide their nature.
"Throughout history, the underworld has accommodated countless souls of masochists.
"These souls are not afraid of cruel torture, and even enjoy it, enjoying the pain.
"Some masochists were mysterious scholars during their lifetime.
"They worshiped the false gods of ancient times, secretly teaching some mysterious rituals to other masochists,
"allowing many masochists to connect spiritually when they are tortured,
"using rituals to share pain and enjoy double the suffering.
"This provocative behavior of treating the underworld as a playground made the members of the Underworld Council very angry and helpless.
"Fortunately, a certain sage came up with a brilliant idea.
"He placed all the masochistic spirits in tens of thousands of camps, focusing on torture, generating a strong power of pleasure and willingness.
"The power of pleasure connects all the camps scattered throughout the underworld,
"cooperating with the spiritual connection ritual, as long as the soul of one masochist is tortured, the masochists in another camp can feel the same.
"If more complicated torture methods are used, different signals can be transmitted,
"to achieve remote communication.
"Space-time in the underworld does not follow the physical principles of the real world. Remote communication is very inconvenient, and a message often lags behind by decades or even centuries.
"Now that there is a fast communication network all over the underworld, everyone can afford to surf the Internet, and the underworld is united again.
"The members of the Underworld Council were so happy that they even conferred a godhood on the sage."
The bald black man took out his smartphone from his pocket, showed it to Mule,
made a cross on his chest, and sincerely sighed, "Thank you 5g base station,
"Thank you to the God of Pain and Remote Communication, Steve Jobs."
"..."
Mule, Black Horse, and Forest Cat all had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
Li Ang, hidden under the black shadow man's costume, was very interested and thought silently,
'The power of will is the source of divine power. As long as divine power is consumed, information can be transmitted remotely without time difference.
I used brain worms to remotely control before, but I was actually using this principle.
It's just that the scale is not as large as this 5g signal tower,
and the utilization efficiency of divine power may not be as high as the 5g signal tower—the latter can continuously generate power of will spontaneously, making up for the loss of divine power.'
At this time, the witch also landed from the air.
Judging from the gloomy expression on her face, she must have seen something she shouldn't have seen.
"By the way,"
Li Ang thought of something and said to Mule, "Ask him, what is the Underworld Council? Shouldn't Lucifer be in charge of hell?"
Mule repeated Li Ang's words to Furey.
The latter smiled and said, "That's why myths are so harmful.
"Um... you should know the overall structure of the underworld, right?"
"I know,"
Mule nodded and said, "The underworld is divided into three layers: hell, purgatory, and the mountain of heaven.
"Hell is shaped like a funnel that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a total of 9 layers. The center is in Jerusalem, and the bottom layer is where Lucifer is located.
"Purgatory, also known as the cleansing realm, is connected to hell. It has seven layers, plus the cleansing mountain and the earthly paradise for a total of nine layers.
"Some human souls who have committed crimes in their lives but have repented accept punishment and training in purgatory. After repenting, they ascend the boundary mountain until they reach the top and ascend to the nine layers of heaven."
"Wrong!"
Furey shook his head and said, "These are all myths made up by humans themselves, forcibly giving them mysterious meaning.
"Although the underworld has a three-layer structure of hell, purgatory, and the mountain of heaven, it was not created by God.
"In fact, there has never been a God.
"The underworld is just an ordinary afterlife. All creatures on Earth come here after death.
"You can understand it as a large piece of land across the sea from the present world, such as Australia."
What?
Furey's words shocked Mule even more than hearing about the base station just now.
"Humans are always so arrogant, considering themselves the center of all things in the world,"
Furey shrugged and said casually, "The former rulers of the underworld were the five dinosaur monarchs known as the Five Kings.
"They are Tyrannosaurus Rex T-Bone, Stegosaurus Stegz, Pterodactyl Bullzeye, Triceratops Spike, and Armored Dragon Hardrock.
"They were once mindless beasts, but after the dinosaur extinction, they came to the underworld with hundreds of millions of their kind, developed wisdom in the tens of millions of years of the underworld, established a civilization,
"and figured out the soul cycle mechanism.
"As the rulers of the underworld, they diligently presided over the soul cycle work of hundreds of millions of living beings in the world.
"With the rise of humans, there were also more human souls in the underworld.
"Since dinosaurs had long been extinct, the five dinosaur kings planned to establish a council and share the power to rule the underworld with the newly emerged human race.
"As a result, the first batch of human councilors who died in slave civilization, in order to establish power, consolidate their rights, and offer slander, induced the dinosaur kings to build a large number of meaningless torture facilities, specifically used to punish those disobedient human souls.
"Sometimes they even deliberately let go of some human souls, allowing them to be reincarnated with the memories of being tortured in hell,
"propagating the myths concocted by the slave councilors,
"promoting their doctrines on the surface,
"such as a hell full of flames, and that God will punish the unfaithful after death.
"It has been passed down to become what it is now."
Furey spread his hands and said to the stunned Mule, "Although the dinosaur kings quickly realized their mistake and wiped out the human councilors of the slave civilization,
"but myths and stories with a decent appearance have already appeared in the real world.
"As more and more human souls who believe in the existence of hell poured in,
"the dinosaur kings had no choice but to pinch their noses and accept it, selecting some human councilors with normal intelligence to assist them in managing the underworld.
"As a result, human civilization developed too rapidly.
"Throughout history, all the ambitious, military strategists, dictators, idealists, and speculators have gathered in hell. They escaped the pursuit of underworld officials, each gathered a group of subordinates, and started a long-lasting war in the underworld. It's simply lawless."
Furey shook his head, as if lamenting the injustice of the world and the decline of morality.
"The underworld is still very chaotic. The Great Qin Empire just annexed the Arab Empire a hundred years ago, and is currently fighting against the Roman Empire and the Russian Empire with its own strength.
"The old America led by Washington and the new America led by Lincoln and Roosevelt are still at war over whether to abolish slavery and make America great again.
