Poison God's Heritage

Chapter Antagonist (Also YAAY 800!!!)

"The Second Sun was the Wisest Sun, or the White Sun, which is the general color of a sun. Simple and wise, without any specific attributes. However, one shouldn't underestimate a White Sun it is still mighty and ancient," he said.

"He received the name of White Sun because he had earned it by studying Law, a scholar of a white heart and pure mind."

"I see,"

"The Flamboyant Sun was the third, he received his title for the state of a Sun in its zenith, because like a lion he always gives his best. A powerful person he is, especially when he has a target he must eliminate, he grows stronger the more heated he gets, a really difficult person to handle when he has something in his mind."

"The fourth was the Red Sun, as you know, he's like a Giant Red Sun, his might knows no bounds, and is only limited by his own mind. He delved to the deepest parts of the Dao of Slaughter and earned his name by steel and blood. A mighty existence,"

"The fifth was the Darkest Sun, he was someone who came from an ancient clan of the Beyond, probably the second oldest clan after the Lording Sun's clan, and is a depiction of the darkness of the night. Though a Sun does not appear at night, it does not mean it will not show up again."

"I'm the sixth Sun, and as you can guess, my name comes from the Sun when it goes into its dusk since I only achieved the Sun Stage at the final day of my life earning me a bit more lifespan." He said smiling and trying his best to say as little about himself as possible.

I guess he also has something to hide but I'm not going to pry.

"The Seventh was the Dead Sun,"

"The Dead Sun?" I asked.

"Yes, we'll leave that guy for last, the Eight however was the Cryptic Sun, but that only happened after the Dead Sun had been removed. The Cryptic Sun wasn't a man of his own Dao, and it was a name given to him by the Lording Sun since he had no path of his own, he cultivated without an idea in mind and followed after each of the suns.

He studied the dao of swords and battle to mimic the red sun, but never completed it, and then switched to studying the art of Law from the Wisest Sun and then continued on, he even tried to learn my art of beast control but failed short. He continued piling knowledge from all over the Beyond, a jack of all trades but master of none," the Dusking Sun said.

"The full quote is a jack of all trades, is a mas a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one," I replied.

"Indeed, but not in this case, after all, you beat him in the art of Inscriptions where he thought he was the strongest," the Dusking Sun said.

"I guess that's why he's pissed at me," I said.

"Oh he's more than pissed, because you took away the only thing that he prided himself in, and now he isn't even recognized for, you're a threat to his position he believes, and wants to eliminate you as fast as possible," the Dusking Sun said.

"This lazy ass, instead of learning and improving himself he'd rather eliminate those who are better than him," I shook my head.

"The last Sun is right next to you, and she can tell you about herself more than I can, also her name was because of her extreme strength and power, she's the only one who explored almost all that is currently known about the Dao of Body, and is able to exert immense might even though her arms look like a frail lady's," the Dusking Sun said.

"I see, so what about this Dead Sun?" I asked.

"Well, he's an issue," the Dusking Sun said, finding words difficult to say to explain the situation.

"Basically, he delved into forbidden arts, but since we in the beyond only respect strength, no one dared oppose his ideology of researching the Dao of Death. The only issue was the aftermath of his research often resulted in millions of deaths, which became an issue.

We spoke to him about it several times, even more sternly than we currently do to the Cryptic Sun, but he was always someone with a skewed moral compass, his research came first above all else, even his own body…"

"The Lording Sun named him the Dead Sun for his success in achieving a quasi-immortal state and reaching the Sun Stage by cheating death itself. However, his insanity knew no bounds as he tried to go beyond his physical limits," the Dusking Sun said.

He was feeling a bit remorseful from what I could see, "He was a friend?"

"He was, before he went completely bat-shit insane, that was, damn Shi Situ, if only he didn't ruin the entire region he ruled over, he could have still been one of us,"

My brows furled up. "You said, Shi Situ?" I asked.

"Yes, why it's not like you know him, he's been dead… well I guess dead, for a bit more than twenty thousand years, even before the Thunder Domain came to be."

"Oh… I see," I said having a bit of a worried expression on my face.

"What's with the long face?"

"It's just that his name is very familiar, I used to have a pesky guy who almost killed me several times back in the Vast Expanse, he also carried the same name. It's probably just a coincidence," I said.

"Oh, yeah, it must be after all that name although not uncommon, he can't be in the Vast Expanse, he's a sun, his mere presence would have broken it apart."

"Yeah, it's probably just the name, coincidences do happen, especially since the Shi Situ I know also uses the Dao of Death," I said.

This made the Dusking Sun's head immediately snap to me, "You said what?"

"Like I said, the Shi Situ I know also used the Dao of Death."

I could see sweat manifesting on the Dusking Sun's head. Something was wrong, and it probably had to do with the Shi Situ I killed… twice… well a bit more than just two times actually…

No…

Nah, there is no way…

…

"Fuck."
