Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 895 - 398: Eat! Eat! Eat!! Gluttonous Goddevourer!!
The Tomb Guardian Spirit’s words suddenly left Su Tu stunned.
According to the Tomb Guardian Spirit, escaping the Star River doesn’t mean leaving the Star River.
Well, well, well, seems like we’re dealing with inequalities now.
Perhaps sensing Su Tu’s inner grumblings, the Tomb Guardian Spirit didn’t keep him guessing and directly explained.
"It’s normal for you to not understand, the existence of gods is beyond imagination."
"If we compare the Star River to a giant bubble, the gods themselves are like small bubbles. They are both individuals and worlds, and are their own Star River Universes."
"This is why they can be so powerful, and why they can devour the vitality of the Star River."
The voice of the Tomb Guardian Spirit was indistinguishable from Shang Zichun’s, especially the tone he spoke in now, which momentarily transported Su Tu back to his childhood, during those times when his mother tutored him.
For a moment, Su Tu was a bit dazed. Over this period, he experienced so much that he suddenly began to miss his parents.
However, his thoughts soon returned to the right track,
through the Tomb Guardian Spirit’s words, Su Tu roughly grasped what the other meant.
If we see the Star River they’re in as a big bubble, then the gods are like small bubbles attached to this big bubble, absorbing the big bubble’s oxygen through some means, thus becoming stronger.
From certain angles, the gods are each like small star rivers with self-awareness, microcosms, and the vitality of this Star River is their nourishment.
This passage gave Su Tu a bit more understanding of gods, no wonder they are so powerful; what they possess is not the power of individuals, but the presence of star rivers, a cosmic level existence.
But now isn’t the time to expand one’s knowledge, in such a bizarre environment, the Tomb Guardian Spirit wouldn’t speak of the essence of gods for no reason.
Could it be!!!
Suddenly, something seemed to strike Su Tu, his eyes widened, the black and white pupils emitting a sharp gleam.
He reassessed his surroundings, inspecting the strange mountains around him carefully, leaving no detail overlooked, as if proving something, or trying to find something.
"You’re smarter than I thought, you seem to understand what I’m trying to convey."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit’s tone carried a hint of appreciation.
"So, when gods escape the Star River, it’s not their bodies that leave, but... their consciousness?"
Su Tu inquired.
"Correct."
Hearing this question, the Tomb Guardian Spirit seemed even more pleased.
"They are closely connected to this Star River, unless they can reach the level of Daluo, they cannot completely separate from this Star River."
"Therefore, even if something happens, they cannot fully leave, hence their method of escape is the departure of their consciousness."
"And the power contained within their bodies originates from the same source as the Star River, thus..."
At this point, the Tomb Guardian Spirit deliberately paused.
And Su Tu timely took over the conversation.
"Thus, as long as they turn their bodies into small worlds attached to this Star River, they become one with it."
"Smart." The Tomb Guardian Spirit acknowledged.
Su Tu’s gaze was now entirely focused on the strange mountains: "Am I currently inside the body of a god?"
Even though he had understood the mystery, Su Tu was still somewhat incredulous.
"It’s not within the body, it itself is a god, everything here is the god, it’s just that its consciousness is absent, so its body turned into this world."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit explained.
"Normally, when they turn into these small worlds, they completely integrate with the Star River, so no means can explore them."
"Even if some strong ones accidentally come across these small worlds, they’ll have their Heart and Spirit obscured by the measures left behind before the gods departed."
Upon hearing this, Su Tu showed an expression of realization. He had been wondering why none of the countless strong ones from Star River discovered this secret.
"So, is it because of this marking that I was able to come to this small world, right?" Su Tu looked at the glowing white pattern.
"Yes, that’s the special nature of the marking, it can help you find these worlds the gods have turned into." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"On the way to the frontlines, the marking sensed this divine world, so it guided you here." The Tomb Guardian Spirit explained.
Su Tu nodded, then continued to ask: "What can I do here?"
Su Tu appeared calm, but his heart was filled with excitement, he was effectively standing before a god without its self-awareness.
And as a Godslayer, standing before a prey incapable of resistance, not doing something would be a disservice to his identity.
Upon hearing this, the light laughter of the Tomb Guardian Spirit came to his ears.
"I don’t know."
"Huh??" Su Tu couldn’t help but twitch a corner of his mouth.
The atmosphere was built up to this point, and you’re telling me, you don’t know??
"I told you earlier, I’m just a messenger, what exactly the marking can do, what exactly you should do, I don’t know either."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit’s voice was very innocent.
And hearing this, Su Tu could only helplessly shake his head.
Looks like I’ll have to rely on myself...
Su Tu thought to himself, then looked up at the highest and most eerie black-brown peak.
Bone walls, stone heaps, it seemed like the core position of this small world.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Su Tu directly headed towards that mountain peak.
