Episode 19 – Metamorphosis Chapter 62 – Who Lives and Who Dies?

The dimensional passageway was bustling with extremely large numbers of people, and colorful rays of light flowed through the walls of the passageway.

Linley and Bei Bei were right in the middle of the crowd, flying together towards the end.

“Almost there!” Linley felt his heart tremble.

“Dixie, Boss Yale, George …… and, and father!” Despite reaching the very pinnacle of godhood, Linley was nervous at the moment, “I hope they’re all alive!” There was constant killing in the undead realm, and with Linley’s father and the others having died for over two thousand years nearly three thousand years, the likelihood of them dying was high.

Linley turned his head to look at Bebe, who was clearly also a little nervous.

“Bebe, it’s fine. Everyone will be alive and well.” Linley transmitted his voice.

“En.” Bebe even nodded, and in the middle of the conversation, the mouth of a passage filled with black ghostly light had appeared ahead.

Going forward, along with the flow of people Linley and Bebe also flew out of the passageway opening and arrived at the large, empty hall.

Flame Bone Mountain, inside the large hall at the entrance to the passageway.

When Linley and the others had arrived, there were extremely few people here, but at the moment, the entire hall was filled with people, and only that chorus of voices could be heard: ”All of you, all of you, come here to collect your badges and record your military achievements! The soldiers lined up one by one and went over to the other receivers! Commanders come here to me to record!”

Linley and Bebe glanced over, and the person shouting was none other than the silver-haired old man Gao Lun, the Lord God’s emissary.

Throughout the great hall, tables were set up, and at each table sat recorders, who held pens and kept recording. There was also a long line within the passageway. Anyone who had paid their badges and had recorded the ground could only leave. The only one who was empty was Lord God’s Messenger Gao Lun.

After all. There were too few commanders.

“Mr. Gao Lun.” Linley called out with a light smile, and said as he flew over.

“Lord Linley, congratulations, being able to come out of there alive.” A smile appeared on Gao Lun’s face when he saw Linley’s duo. His stern-faced reprimand just now was also for ordinary soldiers, and he was still friendly to commanders of the same rank.

“How about it, can you obtain enough military honors this time?” Gao Lun said smilingly.

“Enough.” Linley nodded.

Gao Lun looked at Linley in surprise. Exchanging for a Master God artifact could require a whole ten enemy commander badges, “Didn’t see it coming, I’m impressed! Mr. Linley, why don’t you give me your own commander’s badge first. This partner next to you, by the way, can also handle it at my place. Doing it over at my men’s side would take ages in the queue.”

Linley turned his head and glanced as well, indeed, the line had formed a circle within the great hall, and many of them were lined up in midair.

Linley and Bebe took out their blood-colored badges and black badges respectively and handed them over to each other.

The rules were very strict, if one did not take out their badge. That would be punishable by death.

“If you guys have gathered enough military merits, then you don’t need to record them with me. Go directly to see the Lord God. Let the main god refine the main god artifacts for you guys.” Gao Lun smiled and said, “In all the dimensional wars, the military merits of the commanders. The Lord God has a copy of all of them there. All you guys need to do is take out the enemy commander badges you’ve acquired now, and the Lord God will know.”

Saying this, Gao Lun pointed to an open secret passage in the back.

“You guys will be able to see the Lord God when you enter through this secret passage…” Gao Lun laughed.

“Meet the Lord God? The Lord God himself?” Bebe was surprised.

Gao Lun smiled and said, “Of course not, the Lord God doesn’t have the time to waste here, the Lord God you go to see is only an energy doppelganger. The Lord God’s main body is still in other distant places in the Underworld.”

“Mr. Linley!” A warm greeting sounded, and Linley and Bebe couldn’t help but turn their heads to look. The one who spoke was a purple-robed, black, short-haired, burly man.

“Vosent!” Linley nodded slightly, slightly impressed with this commander, whom Linley had also seen before.

As soon as Gao Lun saw the visitor. Even smiled and said, “Oh, Lord Vosent, congratulations.” Anyone who managed to come out alive deserved congratulations, Gao Lun then said, “Lord Watsonite, have you gained enough military honors this time? Lord Linley has gotten enough military honors, he went in more than a hundred years later than you.”

“I’m still a bit short, here are three commander’s badges, help me record them.” Vosent took out three golden badges and one of his own blood-colored badge. At the same time, he said smilingly. “Gao Lun, Mr. Linley he received enough military credit. That’s deserved, how can I compare to Mr. Linley. Mr. Linley is a great circle after all.”

Gao Lun’s expression instantly became stunned as he turned his head to look at Linley.

“Great Perfection?” Gao Lun was shocked.

“Of course.” Vosent laughed, “Mr. Linley, he was on the dimensional battlefield’s earthly star river passage, but he came into a battle with that Great Perfection Magnus. Causing the commanders and countless soldiers to only stop! Magnus, all banished into the spatial turbulence by Mr. Linley.”

Gao Lun couldn’t believe it.

“You guys chat, I’m going to meet the Lord God first.” Linley said faintly, then he and Bebe walked towards the secret passage behind Gao Lun, Linley could vaguely still hear the sound of conversation behind him “Linley he’s become a great circle, what’s going on, tell me in detail.”

“I’ll talk to you in detail later, you just said that Mr. Linley is a lord, what’s going on? Isn’t he an elder of the Green Dragon clan?”

Linley didn’t hear the latter words because he had already stepped into the depths of the secret passage, which was very wide, five meters wide and nearly four meters high. The walls of the passageway were also faintly transmitting a misty green light, making the entire passageway seem so dreamy. After walking for a few moments –

In front of Linley, a four-way fork appeared

“Which way do we go now?” Bebe was a little confused.

Linley looked carefully, there was no one else in this secret passage at all, and suddenly a voice rang out in Linley’s mind, “Linley, you two, enter the leftmost passage, you’ll be able to see me later.”

“Deathmaster!” Linley’s eyes lit up.

“Bebe, go this way.” Linley immediately advanced with Bebe along the leftmost forked passage. After walking a mere hundred meters, they exited the passageway and arrived at an empty, bright hall.

Linley swept his gaze. There was no one on the throne above this great hall, but at the side of the great hall there was a slender figure wearing a purple robe, her long red hair like blood spread out, and suddenly this figure turned her head, her gaze shooting into Linley’s eyes, causing Linley’s heart to palpitate.

“Lord God.” Linley owed a slight bow.

This person was none other than the Death Lord, but Linley also detected that although the pressure was perceptible on this Death Lord. But the aura wasn’t strong. Linley determined that —- the ground in front of him should be a doppelganger that the Death Lord had coalesced into by relying on energy.

“Admirable.” The Death Sovereign looked at Linley, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, “Linley, it’s rare for me to admire someone. But …… I admire you now. After all, even though I’m a Death Lord, I haven’t reached great perfection when it comes to the Laws. Yet you’ve reached great perfection, awesome!”

Linley choked.

While chatting with Resh Jing, Linley had already learned that becoming a Lord God. It had nothing to do with whether or not it was a great circle. Many Lord Gods hadn’t reached the Great Perfection, but Linley hadn’t expected …… the strongest Death Lord to not have reached the Great Perfection either.

However, Linley himself wasn’t a Great Perfection, just a soul mutation.

However, in regards to this, Linley didn’t want to make it public for the time being. It was just as well that he was a Great Perfection by default. After all, a tetrad soul mutation was far too appalling.

“It’s only been less than a thousand years, and you’ve reached such a point.” The Death Lord exclaimed in admiration.

“Lord God.” Linley owed a slight bow and respectfully said, “According to our previous agreement. By obtaining an enemy commander badge, you will help me find one person and restore his memories of his past life. I’ve come now to fulfill this agreement with you, Lord God.” With a single sentence, Linley went straight to the point!

The Death Lord glanced at Linley. Yet naturally, he had a feeling of being high above and looking down on the world.

“You become my emissary.” The Death Lord said casually.

Linley was slightly stunned?

Linley didn’t want to be the Lord God’s emissary, but these words were spoken by the Death Sovereign, and if the Death Sovereign used saving Linley’s loved ones as blackmail, Linley really couldn’t do anything about it.

“Lord God.” Bebe said indignantly, “Is the Lord God going to threaten my boss?”

The Death Lord glanced at Bebe, but that cool gaze couldn’t help but make Bebe’s heart tremble as the Death Lord indifferently said, “Of course not! I am as a master. A word has been spoken. Of course I won’t change it. For a badge of the enemy commander, I will find a relative for you and restore his memory. As for inviting you to be my emissary. It’s extra, you can choose to decline.”

Linley owed a slight bow and politely declined, “I’m sorry, Lord God, I’m not prepared to be an emissary for the time being.”

“Just as well.” The Death Lord’s voice turned cold, “As previously agreed, take out the commander’s badge you received. To tell you in advance, the mortality rate of the undead is very high …… The person you want to find, if he dies, it can’t be blamed. I am only responsible for finding and recovering memories.”

“Of course.” Linley took a deep breath and immediately flipped his hand to take out four commander badges, and Bebe also took out two.

“Six?” The Death Lord lifted an eyebrow, “Speak, search for whom.”

“The first one, looking for my brother, also from the Material Plane of the Yulan Continent, Yale Dawson!” Linley said evenly.

The Death Lord nodded slightly, “Wait for a moment, my true self is searching through the Heart of the Underworld.” After all, it was the Lord God, on his own, who couldn’t possibly rely on a single name to find out about a particular person’s formation of Earth Undead. But the Heart of the Underworld was different, it was an item formed from the materialization of the laws of heaven and earth that controlled the operation of the Underworld.

It was the core of the Underworld!

Through the Heart of the Underworld, one could easily check on any person who had formed an undead spirit after death.

“I hope Boss Yale is still alive.” Linley’s heart was apprehensive, and Bebe couldn’t help but grab Linley’s hand.

“Checked.” The Death Lord nodded, “Eh? Strange, it’s actually the Blood Ghost clan.”

“Blood Ghosts?” Linley said in astonishment.

“Yes, there are many races amongst the undead, generally those who form Blood Ghosts after a mortal’s death mostly have very great grudges and murderous intent before they form a Blood Ghost. Naturally this Blood Ghost is also one of the more powerful races amongst the undead.” The Death Lord glanced at Linley, “Luckily, he’s still alive, and he’s a Saint Realm Undead. Next.”

Linley took a deep breath and continued, “My second brother, George.”

“Eh?” There was a hint of a smile at the corner of the Death Lord’s mouth.

Linley even stared at the Deathmaster. “Your second brother, George, he’s also alive. And is already a lower god. There’s no need for me to restore his memories for him.”

“Became a god?” Linley couldn’t help but be surprised.

It was also true that both George and Dixie had died at the time of the Holy Realm. Having reached the Holy Realm by forming an undead spirit, there was indeed a possibility of becoming a god.

“The third.” The Death Lord indifferently said.

“The third, my wife’s earthly brother, Dixie.” Lin Lei even said, Lin Lei had to admit that this Heart of the Underworld was very marvelous, with a single simple message he was able to find his loved ones and friends. Linley, however, was unaware that …… in reality, the Heart of the Underworld could be completely based on Linley. Instantly find out all the people related to Linley.

To the Death Lord, there was no difference between finding one and finding ten. The …… Death Lord, however, couldn’t possibly tell Linley this.

“Dixie? Hehe, he’s become a god as well.” The Death Lord said, “However, his godly doppelganger is dead, and the Sanctuary principal is hiding in the Undead Realm. He doesn’t need me to restore his memories either.”

Linley felt a surge of joy in his heart, although Dixie had become a god, and afterward the god bilocation had died. But after all, it was still alive. Now there was only a fourth person left. His own father, Hogg!

Father ……

“My father, Hogg!” Linley slowly spoke.

The Death Lord searched for a moment and nodded, “The four people you’ve searched for are all very good. Two have become gods, and two more are Saint realms. Your father is now a Saint realm Undead …… En, no wonder your father is still alive. It’s also the Green Dragon clan, with a good soul.” There was a great correlation between the soul and the strength of the undead.

Although Hogg hadn’t awakened, but after all, he was from the Green Dragon clan, his soul could be much stronger than the average undead.

“Father. Still there?” Linley burst into ecstasy.

Originally, he was afraid, but the result was so wonderful. The four people to be found were all alive.

In fact, there was a correlation with Hogg and the four of them themselves, the stronger the strength, the higher the probability of survival, and the two of them were Saint Realm Undead. The probability is naturally quite a bit higher. Yale’s resentment was too great and became a Blood Ghost. Plus the strength in life is also very strong. Hogg, the soul was also extremely strong.

“There are two more. My brother Bebe’s parents.” Linley even said, Linley found out that apart from looking up the first person, Yale, which took a bit longer, the three people on the ground afterward, the Death Lord answered instantly. It seemed like the search was quick.

“Right. My father and mother.” Bebe said evenly. “But I, don’t know their names.”

“No need for names. But wait a little longer.” The Death Lord glanced at Bebe.

Linley looked at Bebe encouragingly and transmitted, “Don’t worry, Bebe. Your father was both a rank nine magical beast, strong enough in life, and is also considered a Beirut clan, so he should have a powerful soul as well. The hope of living is high!”

“En.” Bebe took a deep breath and nodded.

Linley could sense that Bebe was nervous at the moment, Bebe had never met his parents after all, and was waiting, for a moment “Luck is good.” The death lord glanced at Bebe in surprise, “Your father is both a holy realm undead, and a relatively powerful holy realm undead at that.”

“Great!” Bebe clenched his fist violently, his face flushing red with excitement.

Linley was also happy for Bebe, ever since the soul mutation, it seemed like his luck had gotten a lot better all of a sudden. Every single one of the loved ones and friends they had searched for this time were still alive.

Suddenly

A thought swept through Linley’s mind, “Bebe’s parents, what about …… my mother?” Bebe had never seen his parents, but Linley didn’t have a single memory of his mother’s land in his mind either, although he had never seen his mother, but after all, that was his own mother, the mother who gave birth to him!

“Lord God, can you help me look it up again?” Linley said apprehensively.

“No, six badges, six chances.” The Death Lord indifferently said, leaving no room for error.

Beside him, Bebe even said, “Lord God, among the people my boss asked you to look for, but two of them have become gods and don’t need you to restore their memories. It shouldn’t count. Or rather, those two people, can only be counted as one chance.”

“Where is this argument?” The Death Lord glanced at Bebe, “Six chances have been filled.”

Linley couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

“Of course …… if you’re willing to be my Lord God Emissary, as a Lord God, I’m willing to check for you a few more times. For free.” The Death Lord suddenly said.

Linley was stunned.

Must you be a Lord God emissary?

“Boss?” Bebe couldn’t help but look at Linley.

“Lord God.” Linley frowned, “Actually, a commander’s badge isn’t that precious. With my current status, it’s entirely possible for me to go out …… now and borrow a commander badge like a commander. It’s sort of like I owe someone a favor. I believe that the other party will agree to this.”

With Linley’s favor, and a commander badge, many commanders were willing to make this deal with Linley.

“Not bad.” The Death Lord nodded.

“Then, Lord God …… this way, if you can help me detect this person, then I’m willing to become a Lord God emissary for you, and if I see that you can’t detect her or that she’s dead, then the matter of becoming your emissary will be called off.” Linley looked towards the Death Lord.

The Death Lord looked at Linley, pondered for a moment, and nodded with a smile, “Fine, I promise.” Checking up once didn’t place any burden on the Deathmaster, and the Deathmaster knew that if he didn’t agree, Linley was afraid that he would go and borrow a commander’s badge.

“I want to check my earthly mother ……,” Linley said slowly.
