Even with the great clean-up operation to revive humanity, the largest area in the decaying old world is still the stench of zombies that have no meaning of existence.

Human civilization has almost perished, and the only flame has been preserved in the magical land of the East under the protection of the gods, and has been continuously spread westward by the messengers of the gods, igniting a fierce fire that can burn the plains. At the same time, the flame of civilization will be rekindled in those rotten places.

And in that most prosperous new sacred place, it is now famous and known as a holy city.

The holy city is huge, with a total of five million people living here, and everything is not much different from before the catastrophe. There are even no walls to be seen here, which should be unique in this rotten world.

The city is very lively, and the streets and alleys are full of smiling people. Even though many of them are thin, even if they are a little ragged, their eyes are not half numb and hesitant, which is an expression of hope and conviction. There is so much to see in this holy city.

Abandoned oil fields have been recaptured, dilapidated old towns have been emptied, useful instruments and equipment have been hauled out for repair, and dilapidated automobiles, machinery, and metal products that could have been found everywhere have been collected and re-smelted...... Everything is slowly improving towards the original living environment of human beings.

Hospitals have been reopened, schools have reopened, factories and livestock industries have been revitalized, and life seems to be getting more and more enjoyable.

It seems that there is a celebration in the city, and the streets are full of festive red, some red cloth, some red silk, and without these extravagant things, a figure is carved into a red painted wooden board and placed at the door of the house or hung at the door.

Smile was the expression of everyone here, not only that, but everyone's eyes were also full of a rather fanatical look, and from time to time they looked towards the nine-story tower, the tallest in the city.

The nine-story tower, each floor is nine meters high, a total of 81 meters. Huge and majestic, it was built more than ten years ago during the most decaying period of the world, and the resources are appalling, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with building such a tower, and some excited people think that this tower is too small and too short to deserve its name: Yama Tower.

Inside the tower is a gilded statue of God, plus the pedestal is a total of 69 meters high, standing in the tower is a miracle, everyone who sees it is shocked.

The resources for building the tower were donated by the believers, and the statues of the gods were also put together and erected by the believers little by little. Of course, the Unitarian religion has played a very active role in this. It is precisely because of this idol that the city is called the "Holy City".

Today's celebration is called the "Netherworld Festival", and it is said that the gates of the Heaven and Earth Mansion will be opened, and all the offerings in the yang world can be received by Lord Yama living in the Netherworld. It was also the first festival of humanity after the decay of the world.

The authenticity of this legend is meaningless, even Zhao Quan, Li Sirui, and Fan Mingkai, who are known as divine envoys, laughed at the "origin" of this Netherworld Festival, there is nothing real in it, it is all made up. The only reason they don't debunk it is because people really need a festival that everyone agrees on to find a catharsis point for renewed hope.

The three Zhao Quan brothers still remember the frenzied scene when the first "Netherworld Festival" was held, hysterical and crazy. Although the later festivals were also crazy, they were nowhere near as violent as the first Nether Festival.

This is already the twelfth Netherworld Festival, Zhao Quan is already thirty-six years old, and the third Li Sirui is also thirty-two years old. It's been more than twenty years since they last saw Lord Yama.

In the past 20 years, the three brothers reached as far as the English Channel, and then turned back, and the Eurasian continent was almost covered with their footprints. The two women who accompanied them also died one after another when they arrived at the English Channel, and fell ill, and even those who practiced martial arts could not escape the poisonous hand of the disease. The two women refused, saying that a crippled body should have died a long time ago, and they were satisfied to see the hope of the end of the end of the apocalypse ignited, and they were willing to die in the arms of the Yama god.

When they were in the English Channel, the three brothers were already mid-congenital warriors, and with the effect of genetic potions, their combat power was already very few things that could threaten them. Of course, the premise is that they don't go to those big cities to fight those seventh-level special zombie hard steel.

But the three Zhao Quan brothers, who were almost able to travel the world at will, almost lost their lives when they were preparing to cross the English Channel.

The land is full of dangers, the sky is full of unknown and terrifying creatures, and the sea is no exception, even more terrifying.

Think of the giant sharks that have been modified by the T-virus, and the staggering number of sardines, the largest whales in the world......

The three brothers of Zhao Quan, who came back with a life, left the strait and returned inland, which lasted 15 years. And the three brothers' journey to spread the flame was written as the "road of the fire" and was widely spread. The three children, who had been thin and wooden, were finally lifted to the feet of the gods and became the messengers of the three living gods of the One God Cult.

Perhaps it was the obsession in their hearts, the three brothers of Zhao Quan did not sit back and enjoy their success, they really regarded themselves as divine envoys and waited for death, but continued to travel around the world without changing their original intentions, helping to sweep away the zombies and regain the available resources of the city.

The three Zhao Quan brothers spend only two months of the year in the Holy City to celebrate the Netherworld Festival and receive the people as the highest level of clergy. At the same time, I also had a good gathering with my family. After all, where are you still single in your thirties? It's normal to start a family, and they are divine envoys, with super high status, and they are the top golden bachelors.

"The auspicious time has come, ring the bell!"

Inside the tower, the Pope of the One God Sect raised his voice to order, and after a while, a large bell was rung on the tower, the sound was deep and pure, and it could be heard throughout the Holy City from afar, which meant that the celebration of the Netherworld Festival had officially begun.

A total of 120 bells are ringed to indicate the official start of the twelfth celebration, followed by 12 cannon salutes, followed by a city-wide procession led by the clergy, and the whole event will last for three days, with the devotees of each reviving city coming to make a pilgrimage, and each city itself will have a Netherworld event.

When the bell rang, the people stood facing the Yama Pagoda with reverent expressions, muttering the dogma of the One God Religion in their mouths, and at the same time thinking about the Yama god in their hearts, praying to the gods for the future and the present.

When the bell rang for the last time, the salute was about to be fired, but a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the scene of the scorching sun and clear sky was crushed into an eerie atmosphere. Then a huge void suddenly appeared high in the sky......
