"Welcome to the 'Daily Healing in the Underworld' live stream~"
More and more viewers poured into the live stream room.
Within minutes, the number of viewers surged to over a hundred thousand and continued to climb.
Upon seeing the rows of paper effigies flying in the live stream, creating a breathtaking scene, the viewers were initially shocked and excited.
But as their gaze focused on the leader in front of the paper effigies, they were taken aback.
That was…
Two orbs?
One was a seven-colored egg, and the other was a robotic orb disguised as a snowball.
The old fans immediately greeted them in the bullet comments.
"Is Egg Lord here?!"
"Egg Lord takes charge, one is worth two? (thinking.jpg)"
"Long time no see, Egg Lord, you've got some serious presence this time! (o゜▽゜)o☆"
...
"Captain, the Underworld live stream has started!"
On the outskirts of the Ginseng Spirit Forest.
As the battle between humans and spirits was about to erupt,
A soldier who had been monitoring the Underworld live stream's screen suddenly's eyes lit up. Without even looking at the content on the screen, he quickly ran forward with his phone.
From a few meters away, he said to Ye Youshi, who was guarding the front line:
"Captain, the Underworld live stream has started!"
"It's started?!"
Ye Youshi, who was already prepared for battle, suddenly turned his head.
"Quick, see if you can contact the streamer!"
The soldier lowered his head to type but stopped the next second.
Staring blankly at the screen, he stammered:
"C-Captain, the streamer seems to have already arrived."
As he spoke, Ye Youshi felt something rapidly approaching.
Turning his head, he saw rows of paper effigies rushing through the air, growing larger as they drew nearer.
Led by the seven-colored egg and the robotic orb, the rows of paper effigies quickly descended into the forest below.
Some attacked, while others defended.
At the same time, the seven-colored egg projected a voice through its mental mini-speaker:
'Stop! Do you want to break the agreement?!'
This voice was like thunder, directly entering the minds of all the spirits below.
All the soldiers guarding the perimeter also froze, surprised by the sudden voice in their minds.
Even though they had heard and seen the Underworld live stream before, this was their first time truly experiencing such a mystical sensation.
"No wonder when I watch the seven-colored egg complete missions, I only see the actions but can't hear the sounds..."
So it's directly transmitted into the mind.
Advanced!
Truly advanced!
Ye Youshi pondered, is this considered brain domain mental development?
With the seven-colored egg's arrival, the situation was quickly brought under control.
The spirits gathered together, whispering amongst themselves:
'We've been discovered, we've been discovered.'
'Grandmothers are going to be angry.'
'Who's here? Let me see who it is! Will we get spanked?'
A short one quietly hopped up.
At a glance, it saw paper effigies that were entirely white, with stern faces that looked somewhat frightening.
Looking further to the side, they were all paper effigies.
They looked so scary to the spirits!
'Who is this important figure?'
'Shh, it's an egg—'
An egg?
The little spirit hopping behind was stunned.
...
Since the seven-colored egg had arrived, it took over the conversation.
It took out the blueprint given by the streamer and looked at it, then turned to the spirits beside it: 'Are you spirits from the [Jia] character zone?'
The spirits below all huddled around the big one, looking at the seven-colored egg, which was clearly an egg but carried the aura of a ghost messenger, feeling a bit intimidated.
The big one wrapped its thick arms around its companions, protecting them in its embrace.
It rumbled, 'Yes.'
'Then what are you doing today?' the seven-colored egg asked.
The seven-colored egg possessed a unique ability that Jiang Lin could not yet replicate.
That was the ability to communicate with all plants and animals.
What are you doing?
The spirits couldn't answer, not knowing how to begin.
Seeing this, the seven-colored egg exuded an invisible deterrent force.
'Leaving your designated living area without permission, are you trying to break the agreement with humans?'
According to its owner, after the spirits reached an agreement with humans, they were assigned fixed living areas.
There was a barrier at the edge of their living area, invisible and intangible to humans.
Neither side interfered with the other.
Even if a human or spirit accidentally trespassed, they would be returned as soon as possible, and the human's memories related to the incident would be blurred.
For the convenience of identification and management, the Underworld, along with the spirits, created a unified map.
They named the spirit living areas in each region.
And this forest below, although close to the [Jia] character zone, was clearly outside the [Jia] character zone.
According to the owner's analysis, these little spirits must have been unable to resist exploring the outside world and had run out to play.
As expected, with a slight scare from the seven-colored egg,
The spirits below couldn't hold back anymore.
They were like a group of children who had snuck out to play, gotten caught, and were now being reprimanded.
They all explained: 'No, no, we didn't intend to break the agreement.'
'No, no, not at all...'
'Please don't be angry, we just wanted to come out and see.'
At this moment,
The big one gathered its companions who were on the verge of tears and lowered its head, rumbled:
'I'm sorry, we snuck out. I didn't manage them well, punish me.'
'That's not true, it's not Big One's fault.'
The little spirits all poked their heads out from Big One's embrace.
Some hugged its hands, others climbed onto Big One's arms.
'Big One is not wrong, it was us who wanted to sneak out and play.'
'If you want to punish someone, punish us.'
'It's not Big One's fault.'
It was because they lived within the barrier day after day, year after year, and wanted to see the outside world.
That's why they secretly ran out through a hole in the barrier.
At first, it was just curiosity, wanting to take a peek or two.
But after coming out, they felt the land outside was more fertile and the air fresher.
Gradually, they discovered that few people entered the forest.
Even if one or two humans who accidentally ventured into the deep mountains encountered them, a slight scare was enough to make those humans quickly leave.
And never dare to come back.
Thus, the little spirits couldn't help but burrow into the soil, inhabit the tree trunks, and frolic around.
As if they had found a new paradise.
And Big One...
Big One followed them out because it was worried about them.
'I'm sorry, we shouldn't have been so playful. And we shouldn't have scared humans.'
The little spirits, mimicking Big One, lowered their heads.
They were afraid of being punished, afraid of implicating Big One, and afraid of their grandmothers finding out.
Even more so, they feared that because of them, the agreement between humans and spirits would be broken.
...
'Apologizing to me is useless,'
From above,
The seven-colored egg retracted its imposing aura and looked at the humans on the other side, 'You need to see what the humans say.'
It could understand the spirits' desire to sneak out and see the world.
After all, it itself had always wanted to go out more with its owner.
If its owner wasn't a ghost messenger, able to freely enter and exit both the underworld and the mortal realm...
Perhaps it would be similar to them?
This incident, in the end, did not escalate.
It could be considered big or small, depending on how the humans judged it.
