The voice sounded directly in Tang Yu’s mind.
‘What an efficient way to communicate, directly sending his mental energy to the person he spoke to.’
Tang Yu tried to figure out this little trick secretly, and at the same time, looked at the spirit deity of the Kong’An Mountain. Unlike any life form he had seen before, the Aura of this spirit deity was very unique, and it seemed to be integrated with the entire mountain.
It’s not weak.
It’s completely at a transcendent level.
Reminiscent of the spirit deity’s self-introduction just now, Tang Yu had a vague guess in his heart. He didn’t intend to poke around the corner and just directly ask the questions in his mind.
The Kong’An Mountain spirit deity was surrounded by countless bright yellow dots floating up and down. He floated for a while, and then half of his body sank into the ground again.
Faced with Tang Yu’s question, the spirit deity’s fuzzy face changed into a thoughtful look. After a while, he slowly said: “We spirits, born in heaven and earth, bred in mountains, rivers, and trees. For example, I am the earth spirit bred from Kong’An Mountain…Of course, Kong’An Mountain might be just a regular mountain for you, but for us spirits that have lived within this area for so long, this mountain is no mere mountain, it has evolved countless times, yet I am still the spirit here.”
‘After several changes…is it?’
He paused, seeming to know Tang Yu’s doubts, and continued, “Unlike you humans, we spirits are integrated with mountains, rivers, and trees, so we have no life span. Even if we die, after a while, we can be reborn again.”
“Resurrection?” Tang Yu thought, “Does it cost less? If you existed before, how could there be no news at all? In the 4th age Period, there should be no spirit, so… your recovery should be related to Origin Qi…”
The spirit deity didn’t say anything.
The life span of the spirit was unlimited… that was the truth, but a spirit that has existed since ancient times should have possessed an absurd amount of power, but… the Aura surrounding the spirit, although powerful, was not that great!
King Honghe regarded the spirit deity as a god, more because of his extraordinary strength, and he looked like a god in his opponent’s eyes.
The spirit deity was slightly surprised: “You are right, recovery does have a price, and I might have lost part of my earliest memory. Similarly, because we were born in heaven and earth, we are also affected by heaven and earth, the primordial energy of the 4th age period declined, and our spirits fell into a deep sleep. Now that the Origin Qi has recovered, we are on our way to recover our power…”
“But what if the mountains and plants that nurture you are ruined? Can you recover?”
Tang Yu blurted out.
The spirit deity didn’t seem to have expected this kind of question. After a while, he said dryly, “Of course, as long as the origin star still exists, we spirits can recover again.”
They chatted for a while, and Tang Yu had a more in-depth understanding of the life form called spirit.
Mountains gave birth to earth spirits, rivers and seas gave birth to water spirits… According to the spirit deity, spirits could be bred anywhere, but in ordinary places, the probability of spirits being born was extremely low. Geographically, it was more likely to give birth to spirits in a qi-rich environment.
The spirits have no gender distinctions, but they can be both male and female. Their shape was also different, such as this spirit deity in front of him, the outline of the phantom resembles a human, but others may also resemble birds, beasts, insects, and fish.
However, Tang Yu has a different view on the point that spirits have an unlimited lifespan and immortality.
The spirit deity knows a lot, but he didn’t look like an old monster who has lived for countless years. On the contrary, he looked very…upright. Tang Yu asked many questions casually, but the spirit deity answered him very seriously.
In his opinion, the so-called resurrection was more like a new life, and the memory fragments carried can be regarded as the inheritance of the spirits.
…..
The life cycle of the spirits really opened Tang Yu’s eyes.
But Tang Yu didn’t forget his purpose of going out with a nightmare puppet to understand the past of Origin Star. It just so happened that the spirit deity in front of him had “survived” from ancient times till now.
It was hard to guess how many times Tang Yu was slaughtered during this period.
“…You said the history of the Origin Star? Then ask the right spirit. Not every spirit has such a profound historical background as mine.”
“According to the classification of you humans, the history of the Origin Star ranges from the First Age to the Fifth Age. Today, it is the beginning of the Fifth Age, and I was born at the end of the First Age.
The First Era was called the “Era of Origin”, and it was also the origin of the name of the planet. In that era, countless legends were born on this land. The Origin Star at that time, in your human terms, was a fairyland. Whether it was the concentration of Origin Qi or The treasures of heaven and earth, they are far from what they are now, and many spirits have also been nurtured since that era.
The Second Era was called the ‘Glorious Era’, and it was also the era with the longest span. The development of Origin Star has reached its peak. To describe it in one word, it was on its edge! Very expanding to its full capacity, almost burst!
In that era, there was a level above transcendence… the saints. The footprints of the origin star gods and people, all over the heavens and stars, and the survivors of all races… the “mirage mountain range” you mentioned earlier was one of the star roads connecting the origin star to all worlds. The “station” above was the stargates leading to various worlds. There were many star roads like this on the origin stars! “
Speaking of this, the spirit deity raised his head: “But with the continuous expansion, Origin Star finally encountered a strong enemy, that was another lifeform, known as… “Devil Race”.
The term “Devil Race” was not named by the saints but came from many civilizations and races destroyed by the “Devil Race”. Before they meet each other, the “Devil Race” has already ruled the vast sea of stars except our origin star. We were different, and we were more inclined to attain co-governance. The people of God and all races live together… But the “devil race” tried to devour us! To destroy our star!
They swallowed the origin of the planet of life, and wherever they passed, every world was transformed into a dead zone, the planet was annihilated, and countless races died out.
Our Origin Star was the only civilization that could resist the momentum of the “devil race”, but in the end, it failed. The blood of the gods was spilled, and the heavens and the earth splurged out-the third era, also known as the era of the ‘fallen gods’.
In that era, the saints tried their best to survive and secluded themselves so that they wouldn’t be discovered by the devil race, which caused the inheritance to be cut off, the Origin Qi declined, and it became the 4th era. Now, Origin Qi is revived. but……”
The spirit deity paused, “But… the Origin Star was also discovered by the “Devil Race”. I can feel the Aura of the demonic beast. It is the weapons they made, and those alien races are nothing but the “Devil Race” minions…
Back then, the Origin Star was at its peak, and the saints above the clouds were all defeated in the hands of the “devil race”. Now, we have no inheritance, no saints, and even today’s humans are extremely weak… It’s over. “
The spirit deity looked sad and desperate. He redirected his dead fish eye to the sky. He was a pessimist, full of negative energy.
Tang Yu panicked.
‘In the past, there were many humans above the transcendent level, the saints. Yet they were still defeated by the “devil race”?!’
However, he felt that this era could still be rescued. At least for now, the pressure on him from the alien race was still moderate. As for the transcendents… the inheritance that Elaine received contains the knowledge of the transcendents… Tang Yu felt that his “Magic Swordsman” inheritance should also exist, but he hasn’t even stepped into the transcendence, unable to detect the content of the inheritance.
Recently, he has fiddled with the inheritance crystallization of the “Magic Swordsman” from time to time, hoping to knock out a set of inheritance equipment similar to Elaine.
However, there were no results.
The spirit deity was still looking at the sky at forty-five degrees angle.
Tang Yu couldn’t help it, “Since the Origin Star was once brilliant, there must be some relics? I heard that there is a kind of ‘Original Liquid of Life’ which is very good. A few hundred kilograms will allow us to break through quickly… And signing a contract with your spirits can also gain your abilities, right? Then give me some power, make a contract with me. “
“I’m just a spirit. It’s hard even to leave this Kong’An mountain area. I don’t know where the relics are! You can sign the contract if you want, but if your earth elemental affinity is bad, you won’t be able to get much improvement… Huh, wait, Are you a puppet? A transcendent level puppet and you are controlling the puppet?”
In the dim light and shadow, the spirit deity’s eyes sparkled, “transcendent puppets, in that glorious era, can be regarded as advanced weapons.”
This was even more surprising than a transcendent human being appearing before him.
‘Could it be from the ‘station’, one of the treasures leftovers from that era?’
But then the spirit deity became discouraged again, “The saints have all fallen. What is the use of transcendent puppets? A puppet is just an object, and it will remain like this for a lifetime. It is not as strong as a human being. At least human beings can cultivate and improve. Sometimes you humans don’t work hard, and you don’t know what despair is…”
Tang Yu habitually ignored the second half of the spirit deity’s negative monologue and raised his brows, “Is the puppet just an object? Could it be that in the Second and Third Ages, no puppet could be cultivated by oneself?”
Spirit deity… looks like you have little knowledge to ask such a stupid question: “My puppet can cultivate and grow!”
Tang Yu wanted to reply, but after thinking about it, he decided not to be rude to the spirit deity. After a pause, he took out a dark high-purity source crystal from the space necklace and placed it in his palm.
The nightmare puppet grasped the high-purity source crystal tightly and controlled the pure source force inside to suck it into his body. The next moment, the nightmare puppet’s breath rose slightly.
Very weak.
But the spirits have a strong ability to sense. The spirit deity was keenly aware of the change, “Aura… you can disguise? I know that some puppets imitate their Aura and body odor for the sake of realism, but…”
He was watching the high-purity source crystal being absorbed and transformed.
Tang Yu didn’t seem to hear it, and he still said to himself, “Not only that, but my puppet also has space element abilities…I know people can have various abilities, but for puppets to have it. Isn’t it unusual?”
Most of the spirit deity’s body sank into the ground, leaving only his head floating on it.
He seemed to fall into self-doubt.
“Yes, after all, I’m just a spirit in the barren mountain. I have no idea of what happened in the outside world… Maybe, maybe it’s part of my memory that I lost…”
The spirit deity whispered.
Tang Yu pretended not to hear and smiled secretly in his heart.
‘——There might be a lot of talented transcendents nowadays, but compared to the age of the saints, this generation is the worst generation in Origin Star history.’
Despite the fact, Tang Yu couldn’t bear it.
The No.1 and No.2, which could practice and grow independently, seem to be beyond the understanding of spirit deity.
Tang Yu breathed a sigh… Almost as if the spirit deity’s negative emotions infected him. Even so, Tang Yu was still greedy for the spirit deity’s power.
As the saying goes, any old family must have a hidden treasure. Although the spirit deity hasn’t been recovered for a long time and is still only a few months old, he has a lot of knowledge and secrets.
Tang Yu couldn’t finish asking questions for a while.
It might be better to…take this spirit deity to his own territory.
The spirit deity has combat power equal to the transcendent, and more importantly, he could give the hunters in Tang Yu’s territory a stronger affinity for the earth elemental. Tang Yu knew that this ability must have a limitation, but he had nothing to lose anyway.
“You are a spirit, and you are both prosperous and ruined by the rise and fall of the origin star. The survivors of this country have no hope, but in my territory, they are still filled with the brilliance of hope. Rather than stay here and continue to mourn, it is better to follow me. Well, saving the world…you can also contribute to our cause.”
The spirit deity sighed. “You’d suffer the same fate anyway… but… okay then, I agree.”
Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
However, the range of activities of the spirit was limited. If you want to bring the spirit deity back to the territory, there is one last problem that needs to be solved.
——Choose a mountain with good feng shui or some special item to carry him around the territory, and transplant the spirit deity to that object.
Before they left, Tang Yu discussed with the spirit deity.
He agreed.
In terms of Aura, the spirit deity and Nightmare puppet were at the same transcendent level. However, after talking to each other, Tang Yu found out that things were not that simple.
The spirit deity could teleport anywhere within the range of Kong’An Mountain, and he could also mobilize the majestic Earth Origin Qi in an instant. If it weren’t for Nightmare puppet’s mobility, he might be crushed.
In a head-to-head confrontation, The spirit deity might be able to fight against the second level transcendent for a reasonable amount of time.
However, there were drawbacks.
The spirits were fierce in their domain, but once they were far away, they immediately languished.
Within the territory, Tang Yu immediately ordered the Hunter Corps to find a suitable environment around the shelter.
At the same time, he asked the logistics department staff to prepare a large amount of earth-related materials to bring the spirit deity to his territory. That also comes at a price.
…..
To the east of Daxia Country, the rough sea.
Since the end of the world, the sea has been a place that humans couldn’t set foot in. On land, demonic beasts occupy most of the area, and the ocean has abyssal cracks. However, the sea was not the territory of demonic beasts but sea beasts.
The terrifying sea beasts turned the sea into a forbidden zone.
Like the Luoxia Shelter, close to the sea, it was constantly being attacked by sea beasts every day.
At this time, on the perilous sea, several uniquely shaped ships were sailing fast from remote islands to the coast of the Daxia Kingdom.
