Chapter 243 - 245: The Dead Life Spirit God

Chapter 243: Chapter 245: The Dead Life Spirit God

"How strange. A Divine Spirit, equivalent to the Moonlight Level, willingly died in this world. His servants died here with him, yet they left behind no reason for doing so."

Andre gazed at the Divine Remains, his expression incredibly complex.

’A Bosha Giant Elephant, a multi-armed, multi-bodied Divine Spirit!’

Gazing at the Divine Remains before him, the thought surfaced in Andre’s mind once again. ’Does this Divine Spirit truly have no connection to my past life?’

For now, he could only speculate along those lines based on the information he possessed.

However, the Divine Spirit’s body bore none of the artifacts from his memories.

Instead, it was clad in a set of somewhat Westernized armor and bracers.

’Bosha Giant Elephant... Perhaps the names are just a coincidence.’

After a moment of silence, Andre questioned the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant again.

"Then tell me about the world where your ancestors lived. What was it like? The more detailed, the better."

After hesitating for a moment, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant shared the memories from its Bloodline with Andre.

In the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s eyes, Andre was ancient and immensely powerful.

The reason the current Andre was so weak, it believed, was simply because he was awakening from a deep slumber and seeking his lost Power.

His questions were merely a way to understand the current state of the Star Realm.

"The world my ancestors came from was ruled by the Three Great Divine Spirits, and this... this was one of them."

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant slowly rose from the ground. As it looked at the Divine Spirit in front of Andre, the worship in its eyes gradually faded.

Andre nodded, signaling for the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant to continue.

"The Three Great Divine Spirits were the Wisdom Saint Spirit, the God of Destruction and War, and the Life Spirit God."

"This one right here is the Wisdom Saint Spirit."

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant thus revealed the Divine Spirit’s identity to Andre.

Andre studied the Divine Remains carefully, but no matter how hard he looked, he could see nothing about the Divine Spirit before him that symbolized wisdom.

"The Wisdom Saint Spirit was the most powerful and most ancient being in that world."

"According to the hymns in the Divine Hall of Wisdom, the Wisdom Saint Spirit came from another world."

"After arriving in that world, the Wisdom Saint Spirit looked upon the savage lands and the endlessly warring races, and his heart filled with pity."

"And so, he decided to spread wisdom, to eliminate the wars plaguing the land, and to grant wisdom to all the races."

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant spoke haltingly, but Andre understood the meaning behind its words.

’Isn’t this just religious proselytizing? The so-called ’walking the land’ was just a way to win over believers.’

’And for a Divine Spirit, one at least at the Moonlight Grand Wizard Level, to travel to other worlds to preach and spread its faith...’

’The power of the faction behind such a Divine Spirit... one could only imagine.’

’It would be comparable to the Main Institute, at the very least. It might even rival those tower-named academies in the Wizard Ancestral Land.’

’Within the Pantheon World Group, that would be considered a fairly powerful faction. Perhaps this Wisdom Saint Spirit was even a core member of the Ninth Branch World Group.’

’But how could a Divine Spirit with such a background—one who even went by the name of ’Wisdom’—voluntarily die in a foreign land?’

’What was the secret behind it all?’

Andre asked several more questions, but the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant could not provide the answers he was looking for.

In the end, Andre gave up on questioning the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant and began to lead it out of the Secret Realm.

Just as the man and beast were about to leave the Secret Realm, Andre suddenly changed his mind. He led the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant over to the giant, unknown tree.

After the Second Expeditionary Corps had arrived, Andre had searched the War Mother Ship’s databases for information on this giant tree, but had found nothing.

Based on this, combined with the boundless Power of Life within the tree, Andre was almost certain that it was not a product of this world.

His original plan had been to return to the academy and search for more information about the unknown giant tree there.

But now, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant was his Battle Pet, and it just so happened to possess Bloodline memories that were not of this world.

Therefore, Andre wanted to see if the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant knew the origins of this massive tree.

Just as Andre brought the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant before the giant tree, a scene he had not expected unfolded: with a heavy THUD, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant fell to its knees before the tree.

"What’s wrong?" Andre asked, looking at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant.

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s prostration was even more profound than it had been before the Divine Remains of the Wisdom Saint Spirit, and its body trembled uncontrollably.

"Master, this is the true body of the Life Spirit God."

After a long moment, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant finally spoke, revealing the giant tree’s true identity to Andre.

"Huh?" Andre stared at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant in astonishment.

"You haven’t mistaken it, have you?"

Andre looked at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant, his eyes filled with doubt.

’Does this creature even know what it’s saying?’

’If this unknown giant tree before me is truly the Life Spirit God the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant claims it is...’

’...then that means two of the Three Great Divine Spirits who ruled the Seventh World of the Ninth Branch World Group have died here, in this world.’

’If that’s true, wouldn’t the folks in the Ninth Branch World Group go mad? Wouldn’t they have sent people to investigate?’

Therefore, Andre simply couldn’t believe the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant.

"Master, it’s true! The Life Spirit God’s true body was a seed of the Tree of Life."

"When the Wisdom Saint Spirit entered the Seventh World, he brought the seed with him and planted it there."

"After growing for 120,000 years, the Life Spirit God became one of the Three Great Divine Spirits."

Seeing the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s solemn and earnest expression, some of Andre’s doubt began to dissipate.

’So, two Divine Spirits really did die in this world.’

’But this is clearly just a Level 3 World. Even if it gave birth to some world-shaking treasure, it would at most be equivalent to the Morning Star Level.’

’Therefore, this world is fundamentally incapable of killing two such Divine Spirits.’

’Then what on earth caused these two Divine Spirits to die here?’

’If the Wisdom Saint Spirit’s death was caused by a lack of Believers—being forgotten by them, causing his life to reach its end and allowing him to die in this world—that might be plausible.’

’But the Life Spirit God’s true body is the Tree of Life. How could *he* have died here?’

’The Life Energy of the Tree of Life ranks among the top five of all species in the Endless Star Realm.’

’What could possibly have erased the Life Spirit God’s consciousness?’

At this moment, Andre’s mind was a chaotic mess.
