Star Odyssey

Chapter 1194: God Of Death

After Lu Yin’s image disappeared, Wei Rong smiled and looked around at everyone. “Ladies and gentlemen, did you all hear the Alliance Leader’s words?”

Everyone looked at each other before silently leaving.

Feng Shu’s scalp tingled, and his entire body trembled. He had totally forgotten that after the plan to subvert Daynight Flowzone had been completed, the Great Eastern Alliance had already started another plan. Feng Shu was not clear on the specifics of this next plan, but the time and resources that it required surpassed what they had used to move against Daynight Flowzone. Thus, this plan should be even more ambitious than Lu Yin’s move against the Daynight clan.

They could not possibly be targeting the Innerverse, could they? Feng Shu was terrified by such a thought, but he was even more scared of Lu Yin. Would the youth be able to survive what he had just done?

Feng Shu started to have a panic attack.

In the Neoverse, atop Mt. Microcosms, Lu Yin lowered his gadget. Xiao Shi was the only person next to him, and the teen was still holding his massive book. Highsage Wudi had left after complaining about how Arch-Elder Zen had scolded him.

Lu Yin did not believe that Highsage Wudi would have a good time of things. This was not the first time that Highsage Wudi had caused a massive commotion, and Arch-Elder Zen definitely would not let things go so easily this time.

Before Highsage Wudi had left, he had asked Lu Yin to wait for him on Mt. Microcosms, but Lu Yin did not want to waste his time while waiting.

“Do you know where I can take a Lockbreaker ranking test?” Lu Yin asked while looking over at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. “Are you going to the Lockbreaker World? That happens to be where I’m headed, so let’s go together.”

Lu Yin nodded. “Is it far?”

“It’s not far. It’s actually also part of Mt. Microcosms, as it’s one of the many worlds in the mountain,” Xiao Shi said as he led the way.

Lu Yin looked at the peak of the mountain that Highsage Wudi had shattered. This place had been Bu Laoweng’s home, but after what had just happened, the old man was done for.

Although the Lockbreaker World was not far, it would still take them some time to travel there due to Xiao Shi’s speed. Lu Yin eventually ended up grabbing the teen with one hand as he flew the both of them to the other side of Mt. Microcosms.

They did not fly high above the mountain. After all, this was Mt. Microcosms, and Lu Yin was not as reckless as Highsage Wudi. Thus, he only dared to fly close to the ground.

“Why did you just help me?” Lu Yin asked, feeling slightly suspicious.

Xiao Shi pushed his glasses up and looked at Lu Yin with a confused expression. “Help you? When did I do that?”

Lu Yin pressed a bit further. “Didn’t you just help me by explaining where death energy originally came from?”

Xiao Shi gulped and pushed his glasses up again. “I was just sharing history since people were mistaken. This is the true history, and I don’t want facts to be twisted and changed.”

Lu Yin was stunned. This guy dared to say that he had not been helping Lu Yin, but had instead only been trying to correct people’s understanding of history. This kid was too pure. “Is that really why you offended Bu Laoweng? Didn’t you consider the consequences?”

Xiao Shi felt rather confused. “Why would I offend him? He didn’t understand any better than anyone else, so I just needed to correct that.”

Lu Yin was rendered speechless, as it felt impossible to have a conversation with this person. Was he sick in the head, or was he really just that naive?

“What’s this God of Death that you just mentioned?” Lu Yin asked.

As soon as the topic switched to history, Xiao Shi’s expression completely changed, and his mien became confident. He forcefully shoved his glasses back up. “The God of Death was the oldest human powerhouse, and he was also the first person to create death energy. Death energy is simply a power that was born from the God of Death’s cultivation method, and there’s inherently nothing good or bad about it. It’s not like most people believe that death energy is unique to the Specter Clan anyways. It’s really not, and the Specter Clan was just formed from the first group of people who accepted and started to use death energy. That’s all. They’re human, and so are we, which is why we can all use death energy.”

“Are you saying that if a normal person absorbs death energy, their offspring will also be able to use death energy?” Lu Yin asked.

Xiao Shi seriously answered, “That’s not what I mean. That’s what’s recorded in history books, but the books say that it’s not certain. Still, the possibility is quite high, and the more death energy that one cultivates, the more likely it is for the descendants of that cultivator to also have an aptitude for death energy. The Specter Clan has reached their state because of how long they’ve been cultivating death energy. The result is that, not only are their members able to immediately cultivate death energy, but their eyes are also different from birth whereas a typical person would need to first cultivate death energy before their eyes changed.

“Death energy is the energy that the God of Death cultivated, and anyone who cultivates death energy is theoretically one of the God of Death’s heirs. This doesn’t only include the people from the Specter Clan people, as you are also a part of that group.”

Lu Yin was surprised. “Are you saying that the God of Death really existed?”

Xiao Shi nodded, utterly serious. “Yes.”

Lu Yin blinked. It was not that he could not believe this. After all, humans had developed for countless eons, and it was impossible for everything and everyone to be recorded down in history. Someone with a name like the “God of Death” would not have been an ordinary powerhouse, but Lu Yin somehow felt that the teen in front of him was not a very reliable source.

“You don’t believe me?” Xiao Shi asked in a rhetorical manner before pulling out his book and pointed at the top. “Look, it’s written right here.”

Lu Yin looked at the book, but it was blank. He stared at Xiao Shi. This guy was just messing with him!

Xiao Shi stared at Lu Yin, still solemn. “Believe it.”

Lu Yin’s brows rose high. “You’re messing me.”

Xiao Shi was dismayed. “You can’t see the words either?”

Lu Yin felt surprised. “Is there supposed to be something written there?”

Xiao Shi nodded. He felt a bit helpless, but he was also used to such reactions. “Of course there is! It’s very clearly written that death energy was born from the God of Death, and the God of Death was one of the oldest human Progenitors. They were born at the dawn of mankind. You really can’t see the writing?”

Lu Yin shook his head. It seemed that this person was not trying to trick Lu Yin, but the book really was completely blank.

“How frustrating! No one believes me no matter what I say, but there really is writing in this book,” Xiao Shi lamented helplessly as his entire being shrank in on itself a bit.

“Can anyone other than you see the writing?” Lu Yin asked.

Xiao Shi shook his head. “No, just me.”

Lu Yin quickly understood; it was no wonder why no one believed Xiao Shi. It seemed this guy really was not a trickster. Words that only this person could see? Was it an innate gift?

“Is this book your innate gift?” Lu Yin asked.

Xiao Shi shook his head. “I found it in the Historical Archives.”

Lu Yin did not speak another word. People passed by the two youths and looked at them in astonishment. Lu Yin felt that everyone was staring at Xiao Shi, as the teen’s eyes looked like a madman’s.

This guy might actually be insane, Lu Yin instinctively wanted to pull away.

The Hall of Honor was the guiding power of the entire Human Domain, but they had numerous subsidiary organizations underneath them. The most famous of such powers were the Interstellar Supreme Court and the Lockbreaker Society. Lu Yin had already seen the Arbitration Great World, and the view of a sky full of stars had shocked him.

When Lu Yin entered the Lockbreaker World, he was met by an even more shocking sight. Not only was there a starry sky, but there was also an endless amount of spiritual thread spreading out as far as the eye could see. Every planet that Lu Yin could see was draped with countless strands of spiritual thread.

But that was not even the most astounding thing. Even more shocking, upon entry, Lu Yin was not far away from an incomparably large planet. However, it was not actually a planet. This massive object was a sourcebox! It was undeniable that this sourcebox was on an even larger scale than the five sealing planets that protected Shenwu Continent.

This sourcebox was comparable in size to Planet Nightking.

Planet Nightking was widely known as the largest planet in both the Innerverse and Outerverse, and it was so large that Lu Yin had been dazed when he first saw the planet. Planet Nightking was large enough to house an entire large clan, or even several large clans, and yet this sourcebox was of a similar size.

Lu Yin stared at the sourcebox off in the distance. He could not comprehend anyone being able to unlock this sourcebox, though he did wonder what it might contain.

The five sealing planets protecting Shenwu Continent were already large enough that Lu Yin felt that it was impossible to unlock them, but this sourcebox surpassed those five by far.
