Chapter 782: Chapter 379: The Strange Ancient Corpse! (Two in One)_2

The previous count of Divine Domains had been broadcast across the entire area. This meant the announcement wasn’t limited to humanoid intelligent life; the Beastly Intelligent Life could also receive it.

The Beastly Intelligent Life had actually entered the second area of this World of Heavenly Element before humanoid intelligent life.

According to the noon announcement the previous day, they still had more Divine Domains under their control.

Yet, in just half an official day, the Humanoid Intelligent Life faction had somehow managed to close the gap.

At this moment, in the area where the Beastly Intelligent Life resided, a creature covered in black, wart-like lumps—resembling a fat octopus—had a green eye in the middle of each lump that emitted a glow.

This creature was a Beastly Intelligent Life form from the Thousand-Eyes Star System, belonging to the Hundred-Eyes Tribe.

“Hui, what’s going on? I’m afraid the number of Divine Domains you own has been surpassed by the Humanoid Intelligent Life.”

At this time, another Beastly Intelligent Life form of the same species said to him.

Hui replied, “Don’t worry. The number of Divine Domains isn’t everything; I’ll just snatch them back eventually. What matters in this world is who possesses greater Divine Power. It’s obvious from the fact that the Human Tribe entered the World of Heavenly Element late that their individual strength isn’t that great. We Beastly Intelligent Life forms are definitely stronger than them. However, we haven’t gathered enough Star Systems to initiate the power struggle mode yet.”

“You do have a point. So many Star Systems from the Human Tribe entered the World of Heavenly Element, yet they arrived later than us. This just proves they are indeed weaker than us.”

While it was quite vexing for the Beastly Intelligent Life that Chen Mo’s luck had allowed him to collect so many Divine Domains, they felt no fear regarding the strength of the Humanoid Intelligent Life.

After all, if Chen Mo could deduce their strength, they could also deduce that Chen Mo’s own strength was not formidable.

It was clearly relative.

As Chen Mo relished the fact that he had managed to seize all the first-level Divine Domains, Evia brought him more good news.

It turned out that the object emanating strong Divine Power was not a harmful substance, but the body of an Ancient God in a cracked tomb.

Evia had already tested the dangerousness of this body using her young insects.

“Master,” Evia reported, “my insects came into direct contact with this body, even biting and attacking it. Yet, they suffered no attack or harm from it. I think this body should be safe to touch.”

Upon hearing Evia’s comment, Zhui Yi spoke more cautiously, “Perhaps your insects just didn’t trigger its threat detection. Master, wait here and let me try. If it’s not dangerous when I touch it, then it should be safe for you as well.”

Chen Mo nodded, thinking Zhui Yi’s point made sense.

So, without further ado, he allowed Zhui Yi to go.

Soon, Zhui Yi, following the sensation of the strong Divine Power, arrived before the mysterious Ancient God’s corpse that Evia’s young insects had encountered.

Unlike the previous small burial mounds, this God’s tomb was clearly meticulously constructed, resembling a luxurious miniature shrine.

Now, the door of this shrine had cracked open for some unknown reason, exposing the God’s body.

The strong Divine Power emanating from the body had scared off all the surrounding illusion beasts, rendering the area completely devoid of them.

Even more impressively, the oppressive Divine Power it emitted forced the surrounding divine mist away.

Since entering the Grave of Gods, visibility had always been limited to a ten-meter radius by the ever-present divine mist. In this specific area, however, the mist had receded significantly, providing visibility of almost a kilometer.

This area could be considered the most ideal spot within the Grave of Gods: it was both safe and offered clear visibility.

Unfortunately, there was no Divine Bodhi Tree in the vicinity.

Upon arriving and noticing the environmental changes, Zhui Yi didn’t focus on the surroundings, instead choosing to first test for potential risks on Chen Mo’s behalf.

With cautious steps, he reached out to touch the body of the Ancient God.

This Ancient God’s corpse, resembling a beautiful sleeping goddess, lay quietly there.

Her attire, though simple, exuded a unique elegance.

It was a delicate and exquisite attire that perfectly showcased her noble status and unique persona.

Seeing her reminded Zhui Yi of the attire of ancient Greek deities from Chen Mo’s past-life memories.

The goddess was clad in scant pieces of cloth, giving an airy appearance. However, these fabrics, though seemingly simple, were crafted from the softest silk—smooth, glossy, and adorned with a subtle deep blue and silver pattern reminiscent of stars in the night sky and ocean waves.

These pieces of cloth were draped uniquely over her body; two panels cascaded like flowing clouds, lightly veiling her chest and creating an elegant and mysterious appearance.

A half-skirt of the same material adorned her lower body—delicate and voluminous—elegantly concealing her private areas while allowing only a vague glimpse of her leg contours.

Even though she had been dead for countless eons, her skin still maintained a life-like vibrancy.

It was a healthy and beautiful hue—a faint rose shade, like morning dew, gleaming softly.

Her skin looked incredibly tender, as if it might dissolve at the slightest touch, and her bodily curves were so perfect they resembled a lifelike sculpture.

Her visage possessed an indescribable beauty.

Her eyes were closed, long lashes resting gently on her skin like butterfly wings. Her nose was straight, and her lips, slightly closed, curved upwards at the corners as if she were smiling in her sleep.

Her face was soft and perfect, imbued with both vital energy and tranquil elegance, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

One might even think she was still alive.

Zhui Yi tentatively touched the cheek of this ancient goddess.

It felt as if he had prodded an incredibly soft and elastic piece of tofu.

As his fingers made contact, he encountered no attack.

Seeing this, Zhui Yi then tried to attack the goddess’s corpse.

However, due to the goddess’s immense Divine Power, Zhui Yi’s attack was drastically weakened. Even though Chen Mo’s Chaos Supreme Treasure ensured the attack wouldn’t be completely nullified, the dampening effect was so substantial that his strike was akin to a mere scratch, dealing negligible damage.

Of course, Zhui Yi’s attack wasn’t intended to be effective; he was merely trying to gauge the corpse’s safety to its fullest extent so Chen Mo could interact with it later.

Confirming that even his attack posed no danger, Zhui Yi finally relaxed and informed Chen Mo.

“My Lord, everything is safe. You can come over and see for yourself.”

By this time, Chen Mo had also synchronized with Zhui Yi’s memories and learned of his prior attempts.

Although he was walking towards the corpse, he muttered, “You’re saying you tried everything on her and she didn’t react? Then what’s the actual value of this corpse?”

Chen Mo was curious, as was Zhui Yi, but neither could provide an answer.

The three of them quickly reached the strange corpse.

Although Zhui Yi had already touched it, Chen Mo couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the goddess’s cheek himself.

He wouldn’t have known without touching it, but the moment he did, he received a shock.

Previously, whether touched by Evia’s young insects or by Zhui Yi, the corpse had shown no reaction.

Even when they attacked it, the corpse had not reacted.

But now, a mere light touch from Chen Mo caused the corpse to suddenly erupt in a brilliant light.

This unexpected event greatly startled Chen Mo.
