Chapter 349 The World of the Dead: The Confused Death God's Complex Inner Thoughts!
A dense green light flashed, and Mo Xuan, the ghost cultivator who had just been resurrected, perished again.
An illusory curtain of death appeared, taking away the soul of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan once again.
This left the Grim Reaper in the world of the dead somewhat bewildered.
Dudley had just resurrected the dead again with a conceptual restoration spell, and Death once again sensed the decrease in souls in the world of the dead.
Last time it was two dormice, and Death didn't care.
This time it was a bunch of snakes, including three Neanderthals and some snakes with magical animal bloodlines. The souls of these snakes were far more powerful than the souls of the two dormouses.
Not to mention, there was also a human who cultivated secret ghost cultivation techniques in his lifetime, whose soul was unique, and who had experienced a period of explosive growth in his fortune.
The soul of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan is already barely worthy of being considered a low-grade collectible by the God of Death.
So, unlike last time, this time, Death is paying a little more attention.
Although He still did not want to go against the rules of the world, expend divine power, or make the decision to go to the world of living beings, He did have some restless thoughts.
But this idea had barely formed when the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's soul returned.
What's going on? Do they think His world of the dead is a park? Coming and going as they please?
In His perception, there were still no loopholes or gaps in the world of the dead!
Death remained seated on the withered tree, summoning Mo Xuan's soul, who had been imprisoned for the second time, before him.
Then, it stretched out a 'hand' that seemed to be formed from gray mist and shaped like a chicken claw or a withered branch, and gently brushed it over Mo Xuan's soul.
In an instant, countless images appeared and swirled in the dark air beside Mo Xuan's soul.
These are not scenes from Mo Xuan's memories, but everything Mo Xuan personally experienced from birth to death.
These two things may seem to be the same, but they are actually fundamentally different.
Human memories can be modified or deleted, but in the mind of death, actual life experiences cannot be faked, because they are the 'memory' of time and the world.
Death rapidly scanned everything Mo Xuan had experienced in his life, including his first and second deaths, how he died, and how he was resurrected after his first death.
The causes of these two deaths are very clear and understandable.
The first death was relatively rare; it was a self-destruction by deliberately crashing into the guardian spirit. The second death, however, was commonplace; it was being struck by a wizard's killing curse.
Death glanced briefly at the two scenes of death, then focused all its attention on Mo Xuan's bizarre resurrection.
"This is... the effect of a healing spell?!"
Death witnessed Mo Xuan's body recover and his soul return to its shell, and spoke to himself in surprise.
Although He has long been absent from the world of living beings and has become a legend in wizards' fables, His understanding of the world of living beings has never ceased.
In the world of the dead, new members arrive every moment.
Observing the life experiences of newly dead souls has long been a habit and pleasure of Death.
Therefore, He is very familiar with the current state of the living world and can naturally recognize the healing spell, a type of wizarding magic.
But... a healing spell can resurrect the dead? How is that possible?!
The sorcerer named Eurah Bella Natley invented this spell in the 18th century. If it had such an incredible effect, nearly two hundred years later, his world of the dead would have become a joke.
Moreover, the most fundamental issue is that life and death are one of the fundamental laws governing the operation of this world.
Even He, the god of death, could not reverse it. He could only create three Deathly Hallows to fool the masses. How could a mere wizard and a mere spell possibly achieve true resurrection?
"No, that's not right! This resurrection process didn't involve magic; it wasn't a spell!"
Death discovered another key point and noticed Dudley and Dumbledore in Mo Xuan's experience footage.
"Without a trace, as naturally as the rules of the world, just like... me normally exercising my divine duties and managing the world of the dead!"
Could it be... that a new god has been born?!
Death was startled by his own guess.
This world, the world of the living and the world of the dead, is two sides of the same coin. From the very beginning, only He, the only deity, had the opportunity to emerge from the rules of death and become a conscious, independent being.
No other world operates under such rules, and none have such good fortune.
The world has now taken shape and developed over countless years. Logically speaking, all the rules of the world have lost their spirituality in the long process of operation, and it is impossible for new gods to emerge.
But... how do you explain such an outrageous miraculous experience?
Death's long-dormant and undisturbed 'mind' inevitably experienced intense fluctuations in thought and emotion.
He began to suspect that there really was a rule of the world's operation that made the impossible possible, giving rise to a new god in this era, and that this new god harbored ill intentions towards him, the old god.
First, two dormice were resurrected. When He remained unmoved, a group of snakes and a human named Mo Xuan were also resurrected.
After being resurrected, he guided the living person named Dudley Dursley to quickly send Mo Xuan back to the world of the dead using the Killing Curse.
Albus Dumbledore, one of the most powerful wizards of this era, was also present.
This is the new god trying to use Mo Xuan's life experience to frame Dumbledore for the absurd resurrection, thereby stimulating him to expend divine power to go to the world of living beings and then ambush and destroy him.
Or is this simply a provocation by the new god, aimed at stimulating Him to go to the world of living beings?
Or perhaps, the new god was just born and didn't have many complicated thoughts. He simply regarded Mo Xuan as an invitation to prove his existence and wanted to invite him to meet him in the world of living beings.
Death had many guesses in his mind, but no matter what he guessed, he didn't take Dudley and Dumbledore seriously, nor did he associate the ability to resurrect with the two of them.
They are constantly outwitting and outmaneuvering a new god that does not exist.
Death is derived from the rules of death and enjoys watching living beings die, but this does not mean that it is unafraid of its own death.
On the contrary, He wanted to die less than any other being.
Faced with a new god on the same level who might threaten His existence, Death chose caution.
He changed his mind and made up his mind that unless this new god resurrected a large number of the dead, seriously affecting His divine duties, He would never go to the world of the living.
"What kind of god is this? Is it the god of time or the god of fate that can perform such a resurrection? Is He not subject to the limitations that gods should have?"
Even I, the Grim Reaper, cannot directly inflict death upon living beings; I can only accelerate their death process through enticement and deception.
What gives this new god the right to resurrect living beings so easily?
He probably couldn't resurrect a large number of the dead, could he?
Or is it that the restrictions imposed on gods only apply to the gods who were first formed in the beginning of this world?!
