Chapter 1350 - 1336: Secrets of the Divine Spirits

It seems so.

The deterrent power of the Divine Spirit is still quite great for ordinary people.

Baiyu didn’t say much more. After the meeting ended, he returned alone to the Bone Ship. From atop the Bone Ship, he could see those fellows leaving one after another.

Some were piloting simple Interstellar Transport Ships.

Some were piloting very small Starships.

"Looks like there really are a lot of people. I originally thought Ai Wei’s authority would have many people following her. But this isn’t strange either. After all, their loyalty is founded on their trust in Ai Wei, yet no matter how much they trust Ai Wei, no matter how blindly they follow, it can’t compare to their reverence for the Divine Spirits.

Those are completely different things.

No one would believe that mortals can slay gods.

But back then, Scars’ Seven Steps to Slash Seven Coils was precisely the feat of slaying a god with a mortal body. Someone who can get along with Scars and Daytime Furnace, and even have them step in to save her—how could such a person possibly have no background?

I don’t buy it.

In this world, that there could be someone who relies on talent alone to climb to the summit and make the Divine Spirits take notice!"

Baiyu said this to himself in secret.

Ai Wei definitely still had a trump card.

She had not finished speaking.

Night.

Baiyu came to the outer carapace of the Bone Ship. Soon, Ai Wei’s figure slowly appeared at his side, a faint hint of a smile in her eyes.

"It seems you still have quite a few doubts?"

Ai Wei asked in a low voice.

Baiyu nodded. "Is this Divine War such a big deal? Have the Divine Spirits split into two factions, or is it the True Divine and the Evil God fighting each other?"

Ai Wei stood on the broad carapace of the Bone Ship.

Looking at the distant pitch-black, deep, dark universe, a tiny spark of starlight burned in her eyes. "First you need to understand what the Evil God are.

There are two types of Evil God.

One type is naturally born of heaven and earth, like the Evil Stone, the Evil River, these kinds of innate spirits and monsters. But they generally never amount to much. Any that accidentally do become a threat will be wiped out by other, far more powerful beings.

The second type.

Is the projection of the Void Realm."

"A Void Realm projection?"

Baiyu carefully chewed on these four words.

"Yes, the Void Realm projection of the Divine Spirits. Have you ever thought about why there is a distinction between True Divine and Evil God? Is it because those True Divine treat humans better? Or because they are kinder?

It’s neither.

Whether True Divine or Evil God, their hands are stained with plenty of blood.

This has nothing to do with the types of Divine Spirits either.

Whether the Meat Origin God, or the Blood Origin God, or any other Divine Spirit, the division between True and Evil has only one cause."

Baiyu’s interest was thoroughly aroused by Ai Wei’s words. "What cause?"

"The position they occupy. In the Dream Realm, those who are active and follow the Rules of the Dream Realm, who follow the Rules set down by the Dream Realm’s Venerable, the Sun in Glory, then they are True Divine.

Those who do not obey the Rules.

Are naturally Evil God.

And the Evil God, not being tolerated by the other Divine Spirits, will give rise to Divine Wars. Over these countless years, Divine Wars have actually broken out many times—small skirmishes, large wars—but time wears all things away.

Humans can, through Cultivation, become long-lived breeds.

But.

Compared to Divine Spirits who arise and perish in a thought, who exist eternally and cannot be killed, the human lifespan of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even tens of millions of years is but a drop in the ocean, a dream while cooking millet, not worth mentioning.

Therefore.

These Divine Wars, because they happened so long ago, and because of the concealment by certain special institutions, are unknown to many.

In these Divine Wars that have continually erupted since the Ancient Era.

Those Divine Spirits who were defeated.

Were all banished into the Void Realm, blocked outside the material universe."

Baiyu frowned. "What exactly is the Void Realm like?"

Ai Wei explained, "The Void Realm is the world beyond the Spirit Realm. But you also know, the Spirit Realm has no boundary. So, the Void Realm is a world very hard to comprehend using the thinking capacity and knowledge of mortals.

You can think of it as a parallel universe.

You can think of it as a dimensional space.

Anything goes.

Anyway, just remember: ordinary people cannot reach the Void Realm. Only the Divine Spirits can tread upon what pertains to the Void Realm. And the True Divine of the Dream Realm are forbidden from interacting with the gods of the Void Realm.

Once discovered.

They will also be dealt with.

Those Divine Spirits who disappeared—whether Seven Coils, the Egg of Reverse Incubation, or Bai Xue, or Tidal Wave—these Divine Spirits were all banished to the Void Realm.

They.

Are trying to come back.

For so many years of Divine Wars, for so many years the Void Realm has been used as a Prison, confining those Divine Spirits. You can well imagine how terrifying the consequences will be once they return from the Void Realm.

For now.

We can only resurrect the Sun in Glory.

Let the Dream Realm once again possess a Venerable, possess a complete Venerable. Only then can the stability of the entire universe be ensured.

I’ve heard that in the Void Realm there is no concept of time and space.

Within it, those Evil God have spawned even more powerful things, allowing the projections and knowledge of the Evil God to break through the barrier of the Void Realm and spread into the real world.

Thus.

This is one of the causes of this Divine War."

Baiyu clicked his tongue, somewhat amazed. "One of the causes?"

"Yes. The projection of the Evil God has already corrupted some of the higher-ups of the Human Imperial. The Imperial is in its twilight, and sweeping reforms must be undertaken; in chaotic times, heavy laws are used. The Dream Realm’s Divine Spirits also intend to use blood to wash away the filth.

Of course.

There is another cause."

"The higher-ups of the Human Imperial should be under the gaze of the Dream Realm’s Divine Spirits, right? If they were corrupted by the Evil God, did the Dream Realm’s Divine Spirits not notice?"

Baiyu asked, a bit puzzled.

Ai Wei sighed. "If it were under normal circumstances, they would naturally notice. But this time, the Evil God acted very covertly. And the Dream Realm’s Divine Spirits had their attention drawn away by another matter, their energy tied up, giving those Evil God an opening.

This is the second cause I wanted to tell you about.

That is, within the corpse of the dead Sun in Glory, countless worms were born. These worms are very troublesome. They quietly slip out of the Dream Realm and invade the bodies of ordinary people, and apart from the Divine Spirits, no one can detect them. They will quietly parasitize, reproduce, and then keep infecting others.

This is a plague.

Humans parasitized by the worms are no different from normal humans in daily life, but they can recognize each other, and they continuously grow stronger, then completely wipe out the human race. Since humans are the main source of faith for the Divine Spirits, the Divine Spirits will not sit by and watch humans be exterminated.

And the escape of the worms is indeed their responsibility.

Furnace and Scars were guarding the worms and the Sun in Glory’s corpse. The two of them did not stop the worms from reaching the Mortal World."

Baiyu frowned and said in a low voice, "How do you know so much?"

He instinctively felt that something was off.
