Chapter 554: The Furnace (2/2)
”Wait… a minute… we… still need time to rest… Wang Ling!” The twins, plopped on the ground, out of breath from going all out in that instant, ”That… was too taxing even for us… we're not you who has an unlimited pool of qi.”
Any sorts of weapons did not work on him, only World Treasures, showed signs of effectiveness, ”With this, I can confirm that there are those that can hurt me. I should have known that the attack of a Deity could hurt me, the others managed to make me bleed, after all. But… now, the question is, how could they hurt me like this? They have nothing in common.” Wang Ling wanted to know.
To win is to know the weaknesses of your opponents but more importantly, how you could be beaten. Wang Ling just learned that he could die, and that, a weapon was being especially for him and Bai Xue. He would be fighting the Origin General again. It was only a matter of time, before they face again.
While the enemy had been preparing for eons, Wang Ling just learned how to control his abilities. He knows not what hidden secrets he had, not even the obvious ones. In fact, he just learned he could now call upon the elements of lightning, water, wind, frost, nature, and so much more. He could produce Primeval Elements with ease and he could feel that something else was hidden inside him, he just couldn't quite grasp what it was.
”They have something in common.” Mulling over the matter of his circumstances, Wang Ling heard a tiny voice.
”What do you mean, Azazil? Other than the twins' control of an aspect of an element, they have anything in common, then, there is nothing else.”
”With all due respect… Sir Wang Ling—” Azazil hesitated.
”Ling is fine, you're the same as Angel. You don't have to be so formal about this.” Wang Ling didn't care much about formality.
”Okay, well, it is because of the presence of Soul.”
”Soul? The more you talk, the more you are losing me. I did not feel any soul force coming from neither the World Treasure nor the twins' attack exude such a force.”
”Of course, they will not but. The thing with Deities is that, their existence is deeply connected to the Primeval Elements. Their power grows the closer they are to the All-Mother, the thicker their lineage gets, or in other words, the closer their soul is to the single one being who can give soul to others. Other than that, it could also be empowered by the fact that, the Origin Elements are speck of the Primeval Elements, the source of what Mortals and the Primordial Race alike could control.
”That said, the World Treasures came from the previous All-Father and those things were forged in the flames the Chaos Furnace. In the Chaos Furnace, there, the Hell Qi, and me, was born. There, I saw a lot of things, and in the flames of Chaos, Souls existed in the form of flickering lights. These lights would have no name, but today, they are referred to as—”
”The Primordial Essence.” Wang Ling suddenly yelped aloud, ”Then, that could also mean that the Elemental Attacks of the Deities, that the stronger their soul is, and the stronger their elements are the closer their elements to the Primeval Elements… which links back to me, its bloody source. That must also be why I control the elements…”
Wang Ling finally connected the dots on what was it that cut him and how the Deities could hurt his so invincible flesh and why the Revenants, or the Abyss in general were hunting for the Origin Races.
The ability of the Deities to hurt Wang Ling could be attained in different ways and it was linked their very existence. The Origin Race on the other hand…was different.
