Capítulo 1872: Chapter 1873: Exploring the Origin

A voice like the whispers of demons penetrates Agusi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Thanks to the White Tiger Immortal Core, Agusi’s strength increased to an unimaginable level in a very short time.

Yet, in contrast, Agusi’s Mind State hasn’t reached that level.

Indeed, as a warrior of the White Tiger Tribe and the selected chief priest, Agusi possesses unwavering will and a mind unmatched by ordinary people.

But his vision, far from being simply elevated due to this upheaval.

The new Beast God, these four words hold immense impact for him.

After all, before everything happened, Lord Beast God in his eyes was an omnipotent existence.

It brought glory to the tribe.

It brought hope to the tribe.

As one of the people closest to the Beast God within the tribe, his admiration and reverence for Lord Beast God far exceed that of ordinary members of the White Tiger Tribe.

The new Beast God.

The allure of these four words is self-evident.

But…

“What are you hesitating about? Are you afraid you can’t do it?”

“No… it’s not that… I just feel…”

“Heh, child, you needn’t feel guilty. As you’ve just learned, it was the Beast God who abandoned you first, so it’s only natural for you to take its place.”

Agusi listened as his final hesitation was pinpointed, he took a deep breath and said: “So, why did Lord Beast God abandon us?”

“If you want to know so badly, why not ask him yourself?”

Agusi remained silent; initially, he truly didn’t know he could release the consciousness of the White Tiger Immortal Core.

But Su Chengyu’s words made him realize that if he desired it, he could communicate with the greatest Beast God in his heart right now, yet he still hasn’t done so.

“Heh, you see, child, the reason doesn’t matter. What matters is the result. Regardless of the reasons behind his decision, ultimately, he abandoned you all.”

Indeed!

They have already been abandoned by Lord Beast God, so why cling to past favors?

Images flashed in Agusi’s mind—dozens of his brethren sacrificing themselves, entrusting everything to him.

He understood that from that moment, Agusi had no other choice.

“May I ask one last question?”

“Speak.”

“Are we truly your children?”

“Yes. Not only you all, but all life in this land was nurtured by me. Outsiders seek to disrupt the peace of this realm, and you are their gateway; that’s also why I’ve taken the initiative to assist you.”

Agusi took a deep breath and gazed up at the slowly pulsing tree core.

“Mother Goddess, I understand, I am willing to be your agent in this land, to sweep away all who defy your will.”

“Good child.”

From the giant tree, a milky white light descends slowly, drifting into Agusi’s brow.

Power instantly permeates Agusi’s entire body from his brow, causing him to completely lose consciousness in a moment.

The tree core watches the changes without reckless action, quietly waiting for the final result.

As it observes the power it bestowed integrate and begin to merge with the foreign force initially within Agusi, the tree core gently speaks.

“The method is indeed clever, but you’ve overestimated yourself. I truly can do nothing about you, but someone has long noticed your actions.”

“Su Zhedian.”

Boom!

As Hu Xiao delivers a powerful strike, sweeping away the last swarm of spiritual life bodies, its form seems to shrink a circle, its demonic power almost exhausted.

Knowing he can’t hold out much longer, Hu Xiao turns to Su Chengyu inquiring.

“My lord, is it not done yet? I can hardly hold on any longer.”

No response; in a crucial moment, Su Chengyu is working hard to absorb this last life spirit body composed of Merit Breath into his own body.

Though the Merit Breath inexplicably aligns well with Su Chengyu, the amount of Merit Breath previously in his body was ultimately too little, making the process take slightly longer.

But in Su Chengyu’s view, it’s all worth it.

The chance to actively enhance Heavenly Dao Breath is incredibly rare; given a choice, Su Chengyu naturally opts for the better fitting option.

Of course, during this process, Su Chengyu is still attentive to Hu Xiao’s condition, knowing Hu Xiao looks somewhat drained but far from his limit.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s non-response, Hu Xiao feels a bit anxious.

As another wave of life spirit bodies approaches, Hu Xiao braces himself for a final desperate fight.

Just as Hu Xiao is about to act, a white curtain descends, completely encasing Hu Xiao within.

Once the white curtain falls, the surrounding life spirit bodies suddenly stop, as if losing their target, looking around blankly, then swiftly dispersing into tranquility as if nothing ever happened.

Hu Xiao sits down directly on the ground, disregarding his image, panting heavily with his tongue out.

In his overly fatigued state, he instinctively relaxes, forgetting this gesture now serves no relief.

With some spare power, Su Chengyu takes advantage of this moment, capturing a few life spirit bodies attempting to throw them into the Dragon Slayer Sword’s Small Opening.

Yet as soon as the life spirit bodies enter the Small Opening, they undergo drastic changes like fish out of water; within mere breaths, they dissipate into the heavens.

“My lord, you wanted to take these things too.”

“Hmm, absorbing them consumes a lot of Vital Force; if bringing them back were possible, they could serve as cultivation materials later.”

Materials that could increase Heavenly Dao Breath are absolute treasures across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

Listening to this, Hu Xiao turns his gaze around curiously.

“My lord, then I…”

“No, the Breath of Destruction within you lacks even a forming trend, without a bridge; even if I wanted to help, you couldn’t absorb these life spirit bodies.”

One sentence deflates Hu Xiao instantly, disinterestedly looking around, hoping to find something useful.

“There are still plenty of celestial treasures; you can freely take them if interested, I won’t stop you. Just don’t venture too far; the white curtain on you will become ineffective beyond a hundred meters from me.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiao finally shows a hint of joy and immediately starts plundering around.

However, his means are terribly clumsy, almost ruining several prime materials directly, prompting Su Chengyu to intervene vocally to prevent waste.

Seeing these high-quality materials, Su Chengyu instinctively thinks of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

If it were here, much of this would probably end up in its belly.

Su Chengyu chuckles at the thought, then looks towards the center point he just established.

He has a sense that he’s not far from going home.
