Traveler in the Pirate World

This underworld is different from the miscellaneous books left by Lily in the system and the notes written by her predecessors. Instead, Lily integrated the karma of the ancient times, the reincarnation of Houtu, and the characteristics of the Soul Society, and used her own authority as a god of death to open up a place for souls to return in the underworld that was originally nurtured by heaven and earth.

In Caesar's view, it was probably as powerful as the creation of the world, but Lily knew that the underworld at this moment was only the size of a star. Compared with those powerful beings in the big world or even those who opened up the world and universe in the endless chaos, it was just a small means that could create thousands of things with a wave of the hand.

Compared to the real world, the underworld is composed of a single soul, and what keeps the soul's will intact is the merits and karma in their bodies.

If one's merits are profound, they will form a circle, which will bring endless life and eternal life. In the underworld, one can obtain divine powers and communicate with yin and yang to return to the underworld in the present world.

Life and death are separated, and souls are not allowed to interfere in human affairs. The merits and karma are not counted as those of living people, and the underworld has no interference in the present world.

As for how to make the living live better, how to make good people get good results for their good deeds during their lifetime, and how to make bad people suffer the consequences of their bad deeds, that is what the living should do.

The world will have its own reckoning after death. Although the world here represents Lily's will to integrate into the netherworld, this world will never operate according to what is considered fair to humans.

Heaven and earth do not impose human laws; all things follow their own rules. Everyone has his own way. It is fine as long as you can follow your own way.

Lao Tzu once said: Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs; sages are unkind and treat the people as straw dogs. Lily actually likes this way of inaction. After all, inaction is not inaction.

"Caesar, your merits are not enough to complete the ring. Although the opening of the underworld is beneficial to you, it is difficult for all living beings. Aren't you willing to accept this?" Lily lowered her eyes and looked at Caesar.

"I am not unwilling to do so!" Caesar's voice was filled with excitement and uncontrollable ecstasy, "It's just that Caesar doesn't understand why this merit is not directly rewarded to the living, and why this karma is not directly punished for all living beings?"

"Good intentions do not necessarily lead to good results, and evil people are not necessarily evil to everyone." Lily's voice was ethereal, "I once read that there is a church in the world called Buddha, but I have never seen the real Buddha, and I have not spoken about it.

Its teachings advocate compassion, mercy, and equality. Giving all sentient beings all happiness is called "kindness". Rescuing all sentient beings from all sorrow and suffering is called "compassion". However, the goal of giving happiness and relieving suffering is not to distinguish between sentient beings of different types, nor to distinguish between relatives, friends, and enemies. This intention is called "equality".

However, worldly affairs are entangled in cause and effect. Your happiness and others' suffering are the norm for all living beings. Therefore, all living beings are not equal, and their sorrows and joys are different. The so-called compassion is not in all living beings, but in individuals.

Even if all beings in the world are connected, can that eliminate disputes between people? Everyone has their own standpoint. Most of the time, even if you know and understand the other person's behavior, it does not mean that you will choose the same future. Fighting is the norm in the world.

This is the nature of human beings. If we allow all living beings to personally experience the so-called merit and karma, can we really make the world a better place?

Whether Caesar's present world can become better depends on all living beings, not on me. The underworld is just the underworld. After death, there are souls. It is death and rebirth. The only difference is that they will pay the price for what they did in their previous lives. "

The establishment of the underworld was, of course, not just because of Caesar's request. It was also Lily's way to become stronger. Having not inherited the system's power to cross the world, Lily could only rely on herself to transcend the world.

Today, Lily is integrating some of the power left to her by the system into this world bit by bit, so that this world will slowly transform. By using the rules left by her predecessors that she has comprehended in the Eye of God, Lily will become the source and destination of all the myths of this world. The stronger the living beings are, the stronger Lily will be, and the weaker the living beings are, the stronger Lily will be.

Rules are like knowledge. All rules that can be observed by Lily will be known to Lily, that is, all observable things can be known and controlled.

All the rules controlled by all living beings in the world will become the seeds for expanding Lily's authority. Through this, Lily can not only master all the rules of the world, but also slowly use all living beings to more quickly control the power left by the system and predecessors, as well as the new rules derived from the fusion of multiple world rules, thereby integrating all the ways and methods into one, thereby transcending the constraints of the world and having the power to walk in chaos and travel through the world.

"Caesar, you go ahead. As a being between life and death, you already have the ability to go back and forth between yin and yang. This sword is called Zanpakutō, and it can help you better utilize and control the power of the spirit particle. As for other uses and training methods of the spirit particle, you need to explore them on your own."

With a wave of his hand, Caesar had returned to the inn. The house was still simple. A cool breeze blew in from the wide open window, turning the pages of the book on the table and blowing the hanging lights.

Everything seemed like an unreal dream. The power of the gods made it all seem too unreal. Only the Zanpakutō in his hand and the Gate of Hell that he could sense and cross anytime and anywhere made him understand that everything that had happened before was real.

Caesar looked out the window. He could see the merits and karma hidden in the souls of the people in the corners. He didn't know what the rewards and punishments for good and evil were set by the gods, but he had time to observe and understand slowly.

At this moment, in the Magic Triangle, a skeleton with an afro and a tattered gentleman's suit slowly stopped playing the piano. He seemed to sense something and reached out his hand to feel in the air, but found nothing.

Relying on instinct, the power of the soul surged through his body. The next moment his arm disappeared, retracted, and reappeared again. He took a step forward, and the world in front of him changed color in an instant. He saw the sky and the sun. He instinctively blocked them and shouted exaggeratedly twice: "It's over, it's going to be reduced to ashes."

However, nothing happened. He looked back and still had no shadow. The power of Moonlight Moria seemed to be ineffective here.

"Hey, ghost over there!" A slender figure ran over. Her clothes were not luxurious, but clean and tidy. She had a long sword hanging around her waist and her steps were steady and swift.

"Ghost? Where is the ghost?" Brook looked around unconsciously. He saw the bustling streets, the people coming and going, and the familiar yet unfamiliar city structure, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"I'm calling you, Mr. Skeleton!" The girl looked up at the tall man. He was a skeleton but he had hair. His dress was shabby but clean. "You look really weird. Logically, we should all keep the same appearance as before. How did you become like this?"

Brooke didn't hear what the girl said, but stared at everything in front of him. He remembered this city, "Is this the Water City?"

"Yes, the Water City of the Underworld was just established by Mr. Tom. You died a little late. You didn't see that Mr. Tom, who was still burning by the fire of karma, waved his hand and the earth surged. Houses rose from the ground and the streets and walls took shape in an instant. That was the power of God." The girl seemed very excited, and then a little disappointed. "It's a pity that Mr. Tom had committed many sins in his life. The fire of karma may burn for a long time. It was really painful. All the sins committed in the past are lingering in the consciousness. No one would want to experience that kind of pain a second time. At that time, I..." She almost let the cat out of the bag, so she didn't roll on the ground and say I was wrong, I was wrong, I would never dare to do it again.

Then she seemed to remember something and looked at Brooke in surprise, "How come you are fine? It is basically impossible to have no karma in life. Indirect and direct sins will affect you. You are really weird."

"Before death? After death? Karma?" Brook stared at the girl in a daze. He couldn't figure out what the girl was talking about. His mind was in a mess. Everything was beyond his cognition, making him a little confused. "Are you a ghost?"

"Yes, I am a ghost. If I had known that ghost life is so happy, I should have died earlier. There is no shortage of food or clothes here, and no one dares to bully me. I can also slowly absorb the spirit particles between heaven and earth to strengthen myself. But my absorption speed is so slow, I can't compare with Mr. Dayasi at all. I don't know when I can give birth to soul fire. Otherwise, when all the merits in my body are gone, I will really die." The girl pouted, "I must find a way to increase the speed of cultivation. It's not easy to live a relaxed life, I don't want to reincarnate."

"Ghost? Ah! You are a ghost!" Brooke screamed exaggeratedly, and then he seemed to remember something and laughed, "I seem to be a dead person too, yo haha..."

Seeing his expression, the girl couldn't help but frown, "Why are you asking about such common sense? We should have known this kind of thing in our memory when we crossed the boundary between life and death!"

"In fact, I don't know whether I am dead or alive. I am a skeleton who ate the Yomiuri Fruit. This is my flesh body!" Brook slowly stopped smiling. He looked at this world, with flames flickering in his deep eyes. "Is this the world after death? Are they here too? My friends!"
