Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 607 - 548: The True Intent of War (Part 2)
Chu Chen pondered for a moment before continuing to ask in a low voice, "Why do you guess so? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhao Qingzhu raised a hand, flipping it over to take out an ancient book from the Spatial Ring. The pages were curled, showing signs of frequent reading.
Zhao Qingzhu handed the book to Chu Chen and said in a solemn tone, "This book records the names of many deities and the trials they faced to become gods."
After receiving the book, Chu Chen didn’t immediately read it but continued to ask, "How true is the content recorded in this book?"
"The contents recorded in the book are derived from relics and Secret Realms, so the credibility is quite high."
Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded gravely before opening the book to examine it.
Zhao Qingzhu speculated that the strongest among the Star Beasts was the Destruction Dragon Emperor, who intended to become the God of Destruction.
Chu Chen studied carefully and found that achieving the status of the God of Destruction was not easy.
There are three conditions in total that need to be met.
The first condition is to reach the Emperor Level Peak, only then can one qualify to accept the inheritance of the God of Slaughter. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The second condition is to win among many competitors.
The third condition is to collect ten billion strands of death aura, and each life can only provide one strand of death aura upon death.
Of course, to trigger the third condition, the first two conditions must be met first.
It seems that the Destruction Dragon Emperor has already triggered the third condition and is currently collecting death aura.
From this perspective, everything makes sense.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen’s face became extremely grim. If all this is true, then the Destruction Dragon Emperor is just one step away from becoming a god.
If it collects enough death aura, it can become a god, and at that time, humans would be easily wiped out.
At this moment, Zhao Wudi asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of this speculation?"
"I think this speculation is likely to be true, otherwise the motivation for the war launched by the other side cannot be explained."
Zhao Wudi nodded and sighed, "Alas! I think so too. Even if we know the other party’s purpose, we are powerless to stop it. Are we just waiting to die?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen furrowed his brow tightly, clearly unable to think of a strategy to respond for the time being.
Zhao Qingzhu, however, said in a low voice, "The purpose of our God-chasing Sect’s existence is to achieve godhood, so perhaps we can also create a deity to oppose it."
Hearing this, Zhao Wudi hurriedly asked, "Oh, does your God-chasing Sect have a method to become a god?"
Zhao Qingzhu shook his head initially, then nodded and said, "The God-chasing Sect does not have a method to become a god, but I know where there is a divine inheritance."
Before Zhao Wudi could ask further, Chu Chen took out a Key from the Spatial Ring.
"Do you mean the Master of Undead’s inheritance in the Secret Realm?"
Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said, "That’s right, but within the entire Alliance, no one has been able to meet the conditions for the Master of Undead’s inheritance."
"What conditions are needed for the Master of Undead’s inheritance?" Zhao Wudi quickly asked.
Zhao Qingzhu did not hide anything, immediately responding in a low voice, "Our God-chasing Sect has held this Key for a hundred years. Over the years, each Sect Leader has entered the Secret Realm trying to accept the Master of Undead’s inheritance, but all attempts have ended in failure. However, the conditions for obtaining the inheritance are the same: the first condition is that the Guardian Beast must be an Undead Element creature, and the second is that the Guardian Beast’s Realm must reach the Emperor Level Peak. As for whether there are any other conditions, we are uncertain."
Chu Chen and Zhao Wudi listened and fell into silence.
The first condition is not difficult; although Undead Element Guardian Beasts are rare, for High Rank Beast Masters, obtaining a Guardian Beast of not very high quality is not a big problem.
However, meeting the second condition is extremely difficult. Even looking throughout human history, an Emperor Level Peak has never appeared.
Moreover, to let a Guardian Beast’s Realm reach Emperor Level Peak, its quality must be at least Legendary Quality.
After a long silence, Zhao Wudi turned his gaze to Chu Chen, asking hoarsely, "What is Nirvana’s current Realm?"
"Peak of Emperor Level Four, if enough souls are gathered, it could break through to the Fifth Rank of Emperor Level by tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wudi instantly showed a gleam of joy, grabbing Chu Chen’s shoulder and saying with trembling voice, "Good, we still have hope. I will have people fully collect souls, and I will gather all Undead Element cultivation resources to help Nirvana quickly break through to Emperor Level Peak."
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Actually, I have another path to godhood."
"What did you say? There’s another path to godhood? Quickly, tell me what it is!" Zhao Wudi asked eagerly.
Hearing this, Chu Chen did not hide anything and revealed the matter of Blood Ancestor’s inheritance.
"Such a thing exists, truly unbelievable," Zhao Wudi exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Qingzhu quickly tapped her Communication Bracelet to record the information.
"Thank you, sir, for providing us in the God-chasing Sect with another path to godhood," Zhao Qingzhu said gratefully.
Surprised, Chu Chen asked, "What do you mean by another path?"
Instead of replying right away, Zhao Qingzhu organized her thoughts and said slowly, "Our God-chasing Sect seeks divine inheritance by exploring relics and Secret Realms, which is incredibly inefficient and extremely dangerous. Secret Realms with divine inheritances are of the eighth level, and I don’t need to elaborate on how dangerous that is."
Chu Chen and Zhao Wudi both nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhu continued, "Lei Yao’s situation is quite unique. It accidentally absorbed the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood, which we can also interpret as divine blood. Although I don’t know how Lei Yao refined and absorbed this divine blood, as far as I know, divine blood retains the will of the deity, and ordinary life forms can’t absorb it."
Chu Chen nodded and said, "That’s right, Lei Yao only managed it by a stroke of luck."
"Yes, as you mentioned earlier, during the use of the Blood Burning Secret Technique, Lei Yao awakened the remnant will of the Blood Ancestor and gained the opportunity for inheritance, which is what I mean by a second path."
Chu Chen suddenly chuckled upon hearing this.
"Why is the sir laughing?" Zhao Qingzhu asked, full of doubt.
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "This second path seems harder to walk than the first."
"Perhaps so."
Chu Chen remembered clearly how Lei Yao looked after being fed the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood by Zhang Jue Ming. Without the help of the Slaughter Atlas, it would probably have already become a killing machine.
At this moment, Zhao Wudi seemed to think of something. He quickly interrupted, "No, the Destruction Dragon Emperor’s war must be related to the Blood Ancestor’s inheritance. Otherwise, there’s no reason to adopt such extreme measures. Even if they win in the end, seventy percent of the Star Beasts would be wiped out, leading many races to extinction."
Chu Chen thought for a moment, then nodded, "In terms of timing, this possibility is high. Otherwise, with the Destruction Dragon Emperor’s long lifespan, there’s no need for such drastic actions—it could collect death aura slowly."
Zhao Qingzhu listened silently and showed an expression of understanding.
Ultimately, she couldn’t help but say, "In that case, all of this started because of you."
Chu Chen was taken aback by this and scratched his head, "I guess it should be."
Seeing this, Zhao Wudi waved his hand and said, "Regardless of the cause, the Destruction Dragon Emperor has met the conditions for becoming a god. Waging war is just exposing the crisis earlier; otherwise, we wouldn’t even have a chance to resist."
