Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 894 - 397: Prey? A God!! Encounter with a Living God! (Part 2)
Upon hearing this, little Simu was first taken aback, then said helplessly, "Then let him talk to you~"
Then, his small body began to inflate continuously, eventually transforming into the body of Simu Changsheng.
"If there’s anything you want to know, just say it. We’re brothers, no need to be polite. Even if you want to know about my ascension plan, I’ll tell you everything!"
As soon as Simu Changsheng appeared, he slapped his chest, looking all buddy-buddy.
"Brother Changsheng, the True King Competition isn’t that simple, is it?" Su Tu asked.
Simu Changsheng didn’t hesitate and answered directly.
"Of course, it’s not simple. This could very well be an Ascension Path. Haven’t you noticed that all those who sat in that position have risen to the pinnacle of the Star River in the shortest time?"
"You know the current situation of the Human Race. We need deities. If we can find another road from there, it would naturally bring more hope."
However, hearing this answer, Su Tu didn’t speak but looked at Changsheng Tian in front of him.
And Simu Changsheng was also smiling at the young man.
A few seconds later, Su Tu smiled, "Alright, Brother Changsheng, I understand. I’ll do my best. Hopefully, I can help the Human Race."
Simu Changsheng also laughed heartily, patting Su Tu on the shoulder, "As ’Tian’, your burden is quite heavy."
"Go on, become stronger, only then can you see the whole picture."
Su Tu nodded and gripped the Token tightly, feeling new power pouring into it.
Then, a torrent of black light surged from the Token, directly covering Su Tu, and then the brilliance raced rapidly.
In an instant, he disappeared from the Ancestor Hall.
At the moment Su Tu left, Changsheng Tian’s smile slightly faded, "Truly perceptive."
"I didn’t want to hide it from you, but telling you would be too much pressure, this is something you don’t need to bear."
"Just focus on doing well yourself."
Changsheng Tian said in a deep voice.
At this moment, a purple mist appeared beside him, Zhao Mingxuan also appeared in the cave, she sat on a rock and spoke.
"Did little Tu sense something off with the True King Competition?"
"We’ve been monitoring too much, it’s normal for him to sense something unusual," Simu Changsheng said.
"Hmm, you did right by not telling him. We can’t burden the kids with the future; this is our responsibility," Zhao Mingxuan nodded.
Suddenly, starlight appeared all around, and the voice of Xing Mutian came through.
"At most in two days, those who can return, will."
"Now, there’s a rather tricky problem. Zhou Wuliang and Liu Yuan have both disappeared."
"We can’t interfere with the Federation’s current affairs, or it’ll ruin the plan, but these two were under observation, and now they’ve disappeared..."
Xing Mutian frowned slightly.
"Let things take their course. Zhou Wuliang, or now perhaps he should be called Heavenly Communication Master, this old brother, isn’t Liu Yuan."
"Everything has come to this because of his own plans. As the only one attempting to merge his being with the Celestial Dao, do you think he could truly be under our observation?"
Simu Changsheng waved it off carelessly.
"Instead of worrying about these things, why not think about what Su Tu should do on his Path to Divinity."
"God-slaying? My goodness, our current plan is only to become a god, with no clue, and he wants to slay a god."
"The mark left by the teacher must be extraordinary; perhaps it can directly help him slay a god."
Zhao Mingxuan said, showing great confidence in the Martial God, as if what the Martial God left behind could do anything.
"Sure, even if that mark can aid him in god-slaying, where’s the opportunity now?
The gods have not yet returned, there’s no god in this world. I think our chance to become a god for him to kill is larger than his chance of encountering a god!"
Simu Changsheng said.
Instantly, the scene turned quiet.
All three of these people were seasoned, there was no need to speak too explicitly.
The reason for mentioning there’s no god to slay now, rather than waiting for the gods to return, is because if the gods return, they would certainly be at the height of their power. Coupled with the strength of their races, not to mention slaying, it would be hard even to touch them.
"He could still walk his path and directly encounter a deity not fully returned, then be instantly decapitated~"
Changsheng Tian looked at the two with a mischievous face, gesturing at his neck.
The other two didn’t respond, as they were contemplating how Su Tu’s ’simple’ Ascension Path should be walked.
....
At this moment, Su Tu was shrouded in a layer of black light, feeling strange, as if he had turned into light.
He could feel himself traveling rapidly through the Star River, sensing the stars, and everything else whizzing past him.
This was an experience he had never had before.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Su Tu felt himself come to a stop, and the black light enveloping him started to retract continuously.
Finally, it returned to the Token in Su Tu’s hand.
Su Tu looked around, according to Changsheng Tian, this Token should directly transport him to the Human Race’s headquarters on the Star River Frontline.
But...
The scene before him seemed somewhat off.
Su Tu looked up, and what greeted his eyes was a towering mountain, dark brown in color, with no vegetation on it, only bizarre rocks.
Su Tu was sure that this was definitely not the headquarters of the Human Race on the Star River Frontline.
Because...
On the other side of the towering mountain, countless corpses were hung on the cliffs as if they were decorations.
The colors of those corpses now matched the mountain’s dark brown, exuding an eerie hue.
Such an eerie, absurd mountain could not possibly be the headquarters of the Human Race.
"Could there have been a transmission error...."
Su Tu raised the Token, attempting to infuse new power again. Black light emerged once more, but just as it was about to envelop Su Tu.
Sizzle~
Mysteriously, it seemed like there was some interference, the black light couldn’t envelop Su Tu, instead shimmering like static on an old TV screen.
Finally, it scattered and shattered, returning to the Token.
There was no need to think much; Su Tu knew there was a problem. The Token given by Changsheng Tian wouldn’t be so unreliable.
In other words, his arrival here was influenced by an external force.
The entity capable of affecting the methods of Changsheng Tian must be something extraordinary. Su Tu seemed calm, but his muscles were already tensed.
If there were any problems, he would react immediately.
He observed his surroundings and found a small slope ahead. He walked forward, looking down, only to realize that the bottom was indefinite, bottomless.
Where was any small slope? Clearly, it was a bottomless abyss!!
Su Tu then realized he was already on this bizarre mountain, just that the mountain was so large. Even within it, he could still see its summit.
Just when Su Tu intended to delve deeper.
Buzz buzz~
Suddenly, the ancient pattern on his hand reappeared.
"Yo, not bad, starting work so soon?"
"Alright, I thought it would take some time before you’d start hunting, didn’t expect you to be this diligent."
An elegant voice came from the mark.
At that moment, Su Tu felt his whole body go stiff for a moment, he looked at the emerged mark.
Remembering the scene within the seed before.
When the ancient mark emerged on Su Tu’s hand, he vaguely sensed a new connection between him and the Tomb Guardian Spirit.
"I cannot leave this space, but when you encounter ’prey’ in the outside world, I can feel it through this ancient pattern."
"Although I cannot assist in battles, providing some information is not a problem."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit said to Su Tu back then.
Now, the voice of the Tomb Guardian Spirit coming meant he had encountered what it referred to as prey.
In other words, the reason for his arrival in this eerie mountain range was due to a ’prey’.
And the existence referred to as prey by the Tomb Guardian Spirit is...
"A deity!!"
"There’s a deity in this mountain!!"
"But, the gods have yet to return, why is there a deity in this world!!"
Su Tu said, shocked.
The Tomb Guardian Spirit’s voice echoed, "Indeed, the gods haven’t returned, but who told you that leaving the Star River means truly ’departing’ from it?"
