Chapter 1039 - 453_3

"Do you know what I am feeling?"

Before Li Mao could speak, Sun Shisan continued, "It’s anger, it’s a forgotten anger."

"Brother Li, you’ve been here for too short a time. Your soul still lingers within the city. Spend a bit more time here, perhaps less than a year, and that anger will cling to you."

"Why must we live in a dump where we can’t even see the sunlight? Why must we painstakingly and even risk our lives for things that ultimately exchange for scraps worth only a fraction of those items? Why are we not allowed even to worship our ancestors? Why must we watch those outsiders trample on our civilization?"

By the end, Sun Shisan’s voice was almost a beastly roar, causing Li Mao to involuntarily step back, fear evident in his eyes.

Sun Shisan exhaled deeply, his expression returning to calm, "What I mean is, whatever that blue creature is, he might be the only good thing I can do for my tribe in this insignificant life of mine."

Li Mao was silent for a moment, accompanied by the jingling sound of equipment dropping to the ground.

He couldn’t understand Sun Shisan; tribe, civilization—what’s more important than living a good life? Even if you’ve made a great contribution, it’s others who enjoy the benefits, what does it have to do with you? But the food that fills your mouth, the charming woman in your arms, the spacious bright house—these are the real deal!

Yet, from Sun Shisan’s words, he heard determination. If he didn’t comply, he’d truly die here!

Li Mao obediently opted to sit away from the weapons, the two men quietly waiting for fate to unfold amid mutual incomprehension.

...

"Didn’t expect Blue Boy to possess such an ability."

"Consuming lifespan to catalyze the bloodline, then converting it into pure energy as food... Even I can’t do that."

Observing from the outer world, Chu Xiu was also somewhat surprised at the turn of events.

He thought even if Blue Boy was born from the shell of a God, his tier was too low to be extraordinary, yet such a bizarre ability surfaced.

"Is this ability universal?"

Chu Xiu was still a bit puzzled. If casually touching someone could trigger their potential, this ability would be too abnormal.

He pondered for a while and realized this ability didn’t seem like legitimate divine techniques; rather, it seemed like... a certain authority.

This thought made Chu Xiu’s divine soul tremble, an unbelievable notion rising in his heart.

"This method of catalyzing and devouring seems like the Gods creating living corpses..."

Chu Xiu had heard from Rasputin before that Gods would turn some of their divine envoys into living corpses, which were essentially reserved provisions. They generally stayed in the God’s palace and could quickly transform into God’s energy to supplement battle consumption when needed in combat.

"And among all living corpses, the best and easiest to transform are... those with the same bloodline as God!"

This was the truth of the Seventy-Two Blood Demons becoming God, and why Rasputin preferred to be dismantled rather than become a God.

Because what was formed by gathering the rules left by the Blood Pool wasn’t a God in the true sense, but a perfect living corpse with some divine might...

"Blue Boy is able to easily catalyze holy blood, could it be because he shares a bloodline with these people?"

"So these people actually guessed right, Blue Boy is indeed the so-called Bright Venerable reincarnated! The divine body I saw was Bright Venerable! And I was led here by Blue Boy?"

The more Chu Xiu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. According to this logic, everything fit together and explained the sudden appearance of the fifth Anchor Point, why he unconsciously detached from Abyss Space, and ended up on a life-bearing planet.

Yet, he still had some questions: even if the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch had a tear connecting to the outer world, does Blue Boy truly have the ability to accomplish all this?

Thinking it through, Chu Xiu decided not to dwell on it. The facts weren’t important; regardless of Blue Boy’s uniqueness, his main goal right now was to cultivate the Star Pill.

If curious, once controlling the suction of the Star Core, transferring more divine thoughts to the outside, directly connecting with Blue Boy’s divine soul and asking him would settle it.

In fact, Chu Xiu already had an idea on how to achieve this.

With a divine soul stronger than late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and help from Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu browsed through a large number of cultivation techniques and texts in a very short time.

No matter how special the Star Pill is, in essence, it’s just a core formation technique. As long as it doesn’t involve rules, its complexity wouldn’t be particularly abnormal.
