Book 7, Chapter 15: History (2/2)
“So even though the Lord of the Dreamrealm and the Harpies’ Mother Goddess could send their will into this place, they don’t dare to in fear of losing too th” Su Chen muttered Then, he asked, “What is the price that they needed to pay? And what is the connection between the Eternal Treaty and the Barrier of the Gods?”
“I’ve already answered one of your questions If you want to get more out of me, then send some more Astrals my way!”
Su Chen picked up a random Astral and tossed it to Jia Luo
“Hahahaha!” The fog danced around animatedly as it enveloped the Astral Astrals were purely consciousness entities, but at that an to physicallyas it was assihtly
“Hoonderful! It’s been forever since I last tasted such a delicious sensation!” Jia Luo crowed in pleasure
“Now, tell me how the Eternal Treaty and the Barrier of the Gods are connected”
“Oh” Jia Luo lapsed into a long period of thought
After some time, he replied, “I don’t have any memories related to that specific matter, but I did remember a memory about what is outside the barrier If you’re interested”
“Speak”
“First, an Astral”
“Fine Just speak”
“Past the barrier is an abundance of Origin Energy, far more abundant than this place It is so dense there that it virtually flows like water, allowing anyone to use it as they please”
Su Chen was taken aback “An Origin Energy Sea?”
“I don’t knohat an Origin Energy Sea is, but that world is indeed encapsulated by a large sea which is fory”
Su Chen couldn’t contain his excitement
The Gods seey, and at the center of that sea was actual land
How siin Energy in this place is so abundant, then why are the Gods trying to return to the Primal Continent?”
Jia Luo coolly replied, “That’s the third question Give me another Astral”
Su Chen handed over another Astral as it requested
Jia Luo consumed, or more accurately, assimilated it Then, the statue s, “Because that place has no life”
No life? A world with an abundance of Origin Energy had no life?
Hoas that possible? And why did the Gods need life?
The latter question reminded Su Chen of the sacrifices that had been offered to the moon God
If divine power could be produced from the deaths of all of those creatures, then the Gods’ need for large quantities of life could be understood
And in the Origin Energy Sea, no life existed apart from the Gods themselves
So this hy they wanted to invade the Primordial Continent
It wasn’t because of territory
Rather, it was for life!
Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine
If that was truly the motivation behind their return, then this invasion would definitely bring with it a massive calamity
Su Chen tossed Jia Luo another Astral and then asked, “If there is a continent at the center of that Origin Energy Sea, which is filled with abundant Origin Energy, and where even the Gods live, then why is there no other form of life?”
Jia Luo replied, “There used to be life there, but not anyo?”
“They came here”
They came here!
They came here!
They ca in Su Chen’s ears like a thunderbolt, sending hiin Beasts!” he blurted out
Those giant hibernating Beasts that were incapable of adapting to the deteriorating environment
Why?
Why were they rejected by this world? Why did they have no option but to spend their lives in hibernation?
At that in Beasts and the Desolate Beasts were not native inhabitants of the Priin Energy Sea
“But the legends say”
Jia Luo calends are just legends The legends say that the Origin Races appeared first, and that they were followed by the Origin Beasts Then, the environin Races disappeared and the Origin Beasts fell into a deep slumber However, if you reconcile that hat you have learned just now, then what conclusion is naturally achieved?”
Su Chen sucked in a breath of cold air “So the Origin Races actually referred to the Gods As Gods, they controlled the Intelligent Races, using them to nourish and sustain thein Beasts But afterwards, for soan to fight And after that, the Origin Beasts came to the Priy Sea world Neither side was ultimately compatible with their environment The Gods lost their only source of nourishin Beasts fell into a deep sluhed “I don’t know if this is truly what happened, butthat what you say is very close to the truth”
“Are there still more differences?”
“I can’t say I will need to re that Su Chen should continue feeding hiet any more from me today,” Su Chen said as he turned around to leave
“But you will return, right?” Jia Luo said with a knowing chuckle “You want to know more about the secrets of the Gods, which means that you have no choice but to coainst the Gods, which means that you will need to come to me Even if you want to wipe out the Gods, you will still need to come to ment, then how can you possibly stand up to the Gods?”
Su Chen stopped and turned around
After a long tiht, Jia Luo If I don’t even have the confidence to resist your deainst the Gods? Just as you have said, I will indeed return soon”
And with those words, he stepped out of the baseure, he suddenly began to cackle ain my freedom!”
Su Chen ain your freedom is the day you will die”
Jia Luo heard this, but didn’t seehtest “I am a Reaper! What fear do I have for death?”
