After Using Cheats, I Became The Strongest Beast Tamer-Chapter 537 - 390: God of Slaughter

"The paths of legend were meant to forge legends, but what about before there were legends? How do you think they became gods then?" Sìxiàng reminisced the memories in his mind, realizing that the more he knew, the more apparent it became that these three paths were not entirely correct.

"The birth of most species in the Exotic Region is tied to the gods. Before these gods created these species, the number of living beings was extremely limited. Even if there were legends, who would they spread their faith to?" Sìxiàng said gravely.

Hearing Sìxiàng's words, the Demon Eagle was startled, "How could that be... but hasn't it been like this for so many years?"

Sìxiàng calmly replied, "Just because it's always been that way, does it mean it's correct? If these three paths are the truth, then what are they now?"

As he spoke, Sìxiàng pointed to Taotie who was still pondering over the Law of Perfection powers he had just acquired.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Hearing himself being mentioned, Taotie turned around and said proudly, "Of course, I was able to comprehend the Law thanks to my own efforts!"

Hearing Taotie's shameless words, even Sìxiàng couldn't help but scratch his claw.

Then Taotie continued, "If it weren't for the time our master chose the eggs, I was big and round, how else would he have picked me out from the countless eggs!"

"..."

"I think it makes sense. I must have been picked for being big and round too, that's why the master chose my egg," Dong Jun agreed wholeheartedly.

This is what they called being halfway to success straight from the egg.

The Demon Eagle was somewhat confused. Traditions that had been accepted for tens of thousands of years were crumbling overnight.

If these three paths were not essential, then why had no one told them about a fourth path?

"No, you forgot about the Epic Path," the Demon Eagle found a loophole in Sìxiàng's words, spreading legends, collecting faith, these were the directions of both the Path of Legend and the Path of Faith.

"Could it be that the Epic Path is the correct path?"

The Demon Eagle's eyes were blazing.

"You're mistaken, the Epic Path is actually incorrect," Sìxiàng shook his head.

"You know about divine imitation, right? Divine imitation has its limitations, but the Epic Path doesn't. In fact, divine imitation was originally modeled after the Epic Path.

Do you know why, among the many gods in the Exotic Region, there is uniquely no God of Slaughter?

Because the power of the God of Slaughter lies in slaughter. Any being slain by Him would ultimately turn into His power, and the more He slaughtered, the stronger His power became.

In pursuit of more power, the God of Slaughter once stirred up a great tumult.

In the end, He was besieged and fell to the combined forces of the Ancient Gods. After His fall, the ways of the Epic Path were disseminated.

Why does slaying a god confer divinity? Don't you find that strange? Is there an inevitability between the two? But if you knew that the God of Slaughter could plunder a portion of power from His enemies after slaughtering them, how would you speculate then?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Eagle was stunned.

It had never heard such secrets before.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it; even many of the gods who came later don't know this matter. I only knew after inheriting part of the Dark Overlord's memories." According to the memories of the Dark Overlord, there are two speculations about the emergence of the Epic Path.

One is to prevent the God of Slaughter from reviving, or to prevent someone from seizing a new Slaughter Authority. So, originally, the many gods who joined forces to kill the God of Slaughter divided His Authority and dispersed it via the Epic Path.

Each god that ascends through the Epic Path takes away a tiny, weakened portion of the Slaughter Authority.

The more gods that achieve divinity through this path, the more difficult it becomes to reassemble the Slaughter Authority.

To gather the complete Slaughter Authority, one must either kill all the gods of the Epic Path or make them willingly surrender their Divine Status.

And the latter is virtually no different from killing the gods, for a god without Divine Status is no longer considered a god.

Moreover, every god who manages to ascend through the Epic Path possesses tremendous combat strength, as they are mighty warriors capable of defying the Ascension Realm to slay gods.

Hence, reassembling the Slaughter Authority is almost an impossible task.

The other possibility is the Dark Overlord's own speculation that the Epic Path might have been intentionally leaked.

Perhaps the God of Slaughter is plotting his resurgence; for an entity of that level, even if the body is destroyed, revival is not out of the question.

"Even the last-emerged Epic Path has issues; do you think the preceding paths of belief and legend could be without problems?" Sìxiàng finished speaking and then turned to Chen Xing, saying, "Master, that's why I think we should avoid becoming gods through these three paths. Actually, in Ancient Times, there were several methods of ascension."

"The first method is to directly inherit the Authority between heaven and earth, becoming the spokesperson of the Exotic Region, like the Wind God, Thunder God, Sea God, and other original gods. However, those positions are already occupied."

"The second method is to comprehend Laws and, by analogical inference, understand the vacant Authority that no one yet holds. But this method requires extremely high aptitude, and over the years in the Exotic Region, there is hardly any good Authority left for us."

"The third method is to find a new world. The choice Authorities of the Exotic Region have almost all been divided up, leaving no channels for ascension unless one overthrows the gods who hold Authority and then understands their corresponding Authority. However, this method is even more challenging.

So, we can look for a grand world where Authority has not yet been divided up and be the first to seize the good Authorities."

After hearing the three methods, Chen Xing thought that the third sounded the most mystical but also seemed to be the most reliable.

"Is our Blue Star... considered a new world? Or does it share Authority with the Exotic Region?" Chen Xing asked.

"It is naturally an independent world. Beyond Blue Star lies the vast and boundless universe; our planet is only a small part of it. In terms of scale, although Blue Star is but a drop in the ocean compared to the Exotic Region, if you compare the entire universe in which Blue Star exists, the Exotic Region is indeed a drop in the ocean instead." Sìxiàng had liked to get a glimpse of the surroundings through psychic power while being confined in the laboratory, and one of the interns there liked to read books describing the cosmos and the stars.

It was then that it became aware of the vastness of the outside world, while it was trapped in that minuscule place.

"So when the two worlds collided, the Exotic Region was shattered into pieces, vast spaces collapsed into Secret Realms that fell onto Blue Star, yet Blue Star itself remained unaffected, as the two are of entirely different magnitudes of existence."

The Exotic Region is vast, with a broad and boundless area, billions of times larger than the area of Blue Star.

But this area is just a speck of dust compared to the entire universe.

"However, I have not detected any trace of Authority on Blue Star; perhaps it's not fully revived yet," Sìxiàng added.

The Authority in the world of Blue Star seems empty, looking up, only voidness exists.

Perhaps the birth of Authority also requires time, and the Authority of the Blue Star Universe is still in the process of formation.
