Was there truly a Death World?

This was an eternal mystery since humans gained the ability to think.

Because once dead, one was truly dead. No one could return after death to answer this riddle.

Thus, humans developed religions and various speculations about the world after death.

But all of this was ultimately just speculation.

Lu Yuanming, however, knew at this moment that souls truly existed after death, and there truly was a Netherworld Underworld!

Falling from an infinite height, when Lu Yuanming regained his senses, he found himself on the rooftop of a dilapidated building. This was an extremely bizarre event. From the moment Lu Yuanming could think, he felt he had been falling for at least several minutes. Falling from such a height would flatten and crush even an Alloy Flesh Body. Yet, his mere Flesh and Blood Body was completely unharmed. This left him utterly bewildered, and he could only attribute it to the strange rules of the Death World.

Upon landing, Lu Yuanming immediately flipped over and began to check his body and head.

His head, previously smashed by a television, had been restored to wholeness. His body was also unharmed and pain-free. He hadn't turned into a Skeleton, Zombie, or Ghost. If he hadn't clearly seen his physical body die before, he might have thought it was all an illusion.

"...I'm dead!? I just died!?"

As Lu Yuanming touched his current body in shock, a scream rang out. Not far away, a Gaudily Dressed... man was yelling at the top of his lungs.

Lu Yuanming then noticed that besides himself, there were three other people on the rooftop: one Black person and two White people. The Black person was wearing a tattered leather jacket and looked like a homeless man. Of the two White people, one was Gaudily Dressed, looking more like a drag queen than anything else, perhaps a Sexual Minority from the Beautiful Country. The remaining White person was in a police uniform. He was tall and burly, but his face was fleshy and looked quite fierce.

These were all the people on the rooftop. The Gaudily Dressed man who had screamed was still wailing. The White Police Officer silently stared at the sky. He took out a Pistol again, examined it carefully, and then walked over to the Gaudily Dressed man and kicked him, sending him sprawling face-first onto the ground.

"Shut up, damn it! God, I've already seen ghosts and gone to hell, and I still have to deal with you guys!" the White Police Officer said in a tone of near despair.

The Gaudily Dressed man fell to the ground and after a long while, flipped over. Lu Yuanming saw that he was bleeding, which was strange. The Gaudily Dressed man then shouted loudly, "This is gender discrimination, this is gender oppression, this is Gender Fascism! I'm going to sue you!"

The White Police Officer rolled his eyes and directly grabbed the Gaudily Dressed man, pointing to the sky. "Get it straight, we're dead! Dead! We're all in hell now, or some afterlife world God knows what. Go find Hades, or anything else, and sue me!" As he spoke, the White Police Officer slapped the Gaudily Dressed man several times.

The Gaudily Dressed man was dazed by the blows. He stared blankly at the super giant vortex in the sky. After a long pause, he burst into tears, "Mom, my Winnie, I'm dead... I'm already dead..."

The White Police Officer sighed and let go of the Gaudily Dressed man. He then looked at Lu Yuanming and the Black homeless man. After looking at both of them, he sighed again. "I should be the one despairing and roaring. An Addict, a Nigger... Well, better than this. So, do you guys have any ideas?"

Before Lu Yuanming could speak, the Black homeless man sneered, "Nigger? If we weren't dead, believe me, that one word would make it impossible for you to survive anywhere... But now, we're all ghosts."

The White man shrugged and then looked at Lu Yuanming. Lu Yuanming didn't know what his current appearance was – his original soul or his post-transmigration form. However, he heard the White Police Officer mention an Addict, so it was likely his post-transmigration form. He then said, "I died from Supernatural Power. What about you guys?"

The Black man nodded. "I was killed by some kind of Monster in the subway station."

The White Police Officer hesitated. After a few seconds, he sighed. "A month ago... those things started appearing a month ago. At first, no one believed it. We all thought it was a joke. But their numbers grew, and more people died. Some even said they saw the afterlife world underground... I died in a gunfight, but I was killed by an axe. That Monster had no head, it was over six meters tall. God knows what it was..."

The White Police Officer's face showed a pained expression. The Black homeless man seemed indifferent.

Since they were already dead, the fact that there was still a world after death, and that they still had thoughts and bodies, was good enough. At least they weren't in Hellfire or a world filled with monsters. The Black Homeless Man had no attachments, so whether he lived or died made no difference to him.

However, this White Police Officer clearly had family in New York, perhaps parents, perhaps a wife and children, and many other connections. Dying now meant an eternal separation, which caused him immense pain.

As the three were talking, that Flower Branch Man walked to the edge of the building. He turned back and roared at Lu Yuanming and the other two, "You sexists, I won't forgive you, I won't!"

After speaking, he actually jumped directly from the roof of this building, which was at least thirty to forty stories high.

All three were greatly alarmed. They simultaneously ran to the edge of the roof and looked down. What they saw was a pool of rotten flesh. The Flower Branch Man had completely smashed himself, no longer resembling a human. A flower of flesh and blood bloomed on the ground below the roof. He was truly as dead as one could be.

The three watched in horror, then turned to look at each other. After a long while, Lu Yuanming was the first to speak, "It seems that if we die again in the Death World, we will truly be dead?"

The Black Homeless Man and the White Police Officer's faces turned somewhat pale.

This was actually due to a fixed mindset.

They had fallen from that vortex, a height of at least ten thousand meters, perhaps even a hundred thousand meters or more. Falling from such a height and remaining unharmed naturally led them to believe they were no longer afraid of falling injuries. This was likely why the Flower Branch Man jumped, but who knew he would be smashed to death? It seemed the vortex was unusual, not that they were immune to falling injuries.

The White Police Officer wanted to say something, but suddenly his pupils constricted sharply. It wasn't just him; the Black Homeless Man and Lu Yuanming experienced the same thing.

On the ground below the building, more than ten monsters that looked like giant dogs, but with heads, necks, shoulders, and forelimbs like humans, these Man-faced Dogs, were about three to four meters long compared to the flesh and blood flower on the ground. They looked ferocious and terrifying. They surrounded the flower of flesh and blood, tearing at it, and even attacking each other within the mass, fighting over the flesh.

There were monsters in the afterlife!!

The White Police Officer, the Black Homeless Man, and Lu Yuanming were all stunned. For a moment, they didn't know what to say or think.

Just then, one of the monster Man-faced Dogs looked up, as if it had seen the three of them. These monster Man-faced Dogs began to roar. It wasn't a dog's bark, but a human-like mad howling and ruckus, hysterical roars filled with terrifying and sinister cries.

Immediately after, the three watched in horror as these monster Man-faced Dogs began to climb the building. They were ascending the exterior wall of the building!

These monsters were coming to eat them!
