Chapter: 518
“Body of a True God? What is that?” Leticia showed a confused expression upon hearing the unfamiliar term that came from Infino. What was this thing, and why had she never heard of it before?
“It’s quite simple, it’s the body of a god,” Infino explained the meaning of the Body of a True God concisely.
Gods demonstrated seemingly cheating-level talent in various aspects. Even the most powerful geniuses among mortals couldn’t even touch the heels of divine talent, and such shameless talent was collectively referred to as the Body of a True God.
Generally speaking, gods with physical bodies possessed such talents. For example, Chu, who was currently spacing out and acting cute beside them, was a possessor of this talent.
Extremely powerful comprehension ability, the ability to master things after brief study when encountering something unknown, and so on.
“But Leticia, you are the god of dreams. Theoretically, you shouldn’t possess such a body.”
The previous God of Dreams had no physical body from birth until death, always wandering outside as a spiritual entity. Yet Leticia now possessed the standard body of a god, which was truly puzzling.
“I have a guess about this matter…” Leticia didn’t know why her new body was so amazing. All she knew was that this was likely the new body that the mysterious woman had told her was ready.
After explaining what had happened to Infino and Bai Ling, Leticia pointed to the four runes on the back of her hand and said with a complex expression, “The secrets of this world may be more numerous than we imagine.”
“This is something I’ve never heard of. The mysterious woman you spoke of might be that powerful being who sealed us gods back then?” After a long silence, Infino slowly opened her mouth. “Since she told you that, then do as she said. A being as powerful as her has no reason to deceive us.”
“Is our world really running out of time?”
Infino sighed softly, “Four books of prophecy. The demon race is not a problem, but the whereabouts of the beastmen are unknown…”
“I can find a way for the human race’s book,” Bai Ling raised her hand, stating she could go get the human prophecy book. If she were the one to go, senior Sang would probably be persuaded as well.
“You don’t need to worry too much about the beastmen’s either. If I’m not mistaken, the prophecy book here is likely in the cave we were at before. We can go back and look for it later,” Leticia said, stroking her chin. Calculating this way, the only prophecy book that needed to be retrieved was the elves’.
Coincidentally, Leticia happened to know an elf girl named Evangeline, who happened to be the Elf Empress.
If the prophecy book was in Evangeline’s hands, Leticia would just need to speak, and this half-elf girl would probably hand over the prophecy book in her possession without a second thought.
“That’s assuming she has that prophecy book.” The current situation of the elves was very complicated. Evangeline was ambitious, while the old fossil elders were constantly devising ways to hinder Evangeline.
The two sides fought with great enthusiasm, neither able to suppress the other. Evangeline had only recently returned to power, so whether the prophecy book was in her hands was indeed a big problem.
However, looking at the bright side, the elves’ prophecy book was definitely in the hands of one of the two factions, so it wouldn’t end up like the beastmen.
“So, our current plan is to first find the beastmen’s prophecy book, then go directly to the elves to find their prophecy book. Once we find the elves’, the demon and human ones will be no problem, right?” Leticia clapped her palm, feeling that the current goal was quite achievable.
If all else failed, she would just annihilate all those old fossil elves and see if she couldn’t find that prophecy book!
The world was in dire straits; it was no longer a time for reasoning!
The plan was set, but Leticia couldn’t do anything right now. She could only obediently return to the cave they were at before to find the beastmen’s prophecy book, and then wait in the beastmen’s territory for Yin to open a spatial portal to pick her up.
Although theoretically, all gods could traverse worlds, Leticia had never taken any systematic classes on world traversal. Trying it herself would be too reckless. It was better to wait for Yin, an experienced hand, to pick her up.
“Sister Leticia! Hug!” Seeing Leticia’s expression relax, Chu, who had been waiting beside her, immediately pounced on her.
Catching the little girl who rushed towards her, a smile appeared on Leticia’s face. This little one was even cuter than before.
“Little Chu…” However, was the current Chu still Chu? Leticia couldn’t figure out the reason.
She knew that this Chu was a product of the mixture of the Chu she was familiar with and the consciousness of Da Dan. This Chu inherited everything from both, and also inherited Chu’s feelings for her.
Never mind, Chu had always wished to return to her original form. In this state, her wish had been fulfilled.
Stroking the warm golden hair of the blonde girl, Leticia lowered her head and took a deep breath in her hair. The fresh scent, like the sun, was invigorating; this little one was indeed worthy of being a god.
“Ahem, a hug is enough.” Seeing the two girls being so intimate, Bai Ling felt a little uncomfortable. She brought her fist to her mouth and coughed lightly, “Any more than that would be inappropriate.”
“Are you jealous of a little girl? Let me tell you, Chu is my sister from a different father and mother!” Leticia looked up and glared at Bai Ling. It was bad enough you were jealous of anyone, but you’re jealous of Chu? We even raised little Chu ourselves. You can be jealous of this too?
Bai, your heart is too twisted.
“Sister from a different father and mother… If Kira heard you say that, she’d probably cut all your internet cables.” Bai Ling also twitched her mouth. She could see that Leticia was someone who easily got bored with the old and liked the new.
Look, Kira was such a good sister, and now that she had Chu, Leticia had completely forgotten about Kira, her own blood sister.
Although little Chu was indeed cute, sensible, and more like a sister, was that a reason for Leticia to abandon her own sister!
No!
Leticia was just cheap! She just craved little Chu’s cuteness!
“You’ve finished hugging, now it’s my turn!”
Snatching Chu from Leticia’s arms, Bai Ling showed with her actions that she was actually just craving this adorable little girl.
However, Chu wasn’t as receptive to Bai Ling as she was to Leticia. Although she liked the white-haired sister very much, she had just been slashed by Bai Ling a moment ago, and the wound on her arm hadn’t healed yet.
“Did Bai do this to your wound?” Leticia also noticed something wrong with Chu’s arm. After rolling up Chu’s sleeve, she looked at the bloody wound, her brows furrowed slightly.
With Chu’s current physical condition, such a wound shouldn’t have taken this long to heal.
Was there some special power preventing the wound from recovering?
Power of Stars?
“Yes, I did it.” Bai Ling nodded, her expression a bit awkward. At that time, she didn’t know that the dominant consciousness of that bird had changed. Seeing the other party stunned, wouldn’t she just swing her sword at it?
If she didn’t seize this opportunity, she wouldn’t be worthy of being called a Sword Saint!
“Can you retract the Starlight on your wound?” Leticia pointed at the energy coiled around the wound, preventing it from healing, and asked.
Bai Ling shook her head, saying it was beyond her abilities. “No, this is a special effect that comes with an attack. It can only disappear naturally.”
“At most, it will take one day, which is quite fast.”
“That’s indeed quite fast…” A continuous severe wound effect lasting for a day wasn’t really long. If Leticia wanted to apply a severe wound with a healing restriction to someone weaker, it would probably start from a week.
“Chu’s own power is also struggling with this Starlight. It shouldn’t take too long to heal.”
At the edge of the wound, golden energy particles were attacking the Starlight coiled around the wound. With subsequent support, they had gained the upper hand and would likely defeat these intruders and restore Chu’s body to a healthy state soon.
Taking out some bandages from the artifact space, Leticia carefully bandaged Chu’s wound. Although the effect wouldn’t be great, it looked more presentable.
Otherwise, should Chu let the wound bleed like this?
“Alright, let’s go back to that cave to find the prophecy book now!” After finishing the bandaging, Leticia clapped her hands and looked around, her expression becoming a bit more complex. “But where are we now?”
Looking around, the scenery was monotonous desert. Without the sandstorm’s obstruction, she could indeed see further, but seeing farther in this godforsaken place was useless.
Moreover, in the distance, the never-ending sandstorm still dominated this land, and it seemed to be stirring and approaching their location.
Some uncomfortable gazes were coming from afar. Leticia looked in those directions and released her aura without reservation.
The colorful sky curtain began to spread out with her as the center, instantly covering the entire sky. The fierce aura immediately made the peeping observers in the desert put away their restless thoughts and choose to play dead, just as before.
The sandstorm continued to move away. This time, Leticia finally found a landmark to refer to, which was the giant barrier protecting the beastmen.
While Leticia and Chu were struggling with that big bird in the spirit space, the phoenix outside had approached the northern border of the beastmen under subconscious control. If Bai Ling hadn’t stopped her, Leticia would have seen the familiar grassland scene the moment she came out.
“What are those things?” The discomfort Bai Ling felt earlier should have also come from those things hidden in the desert. Leticia asked Infino, but the well-informed old ancestor didn’t know the answer this time either.
“Hard to say, anything is possible.” Unable to come out and see for herself, Infino couldn’t draw a conclusion. “Perhaps they are evil gods, beings corrupted after accepting evil power from outside the world. Don’t pay attention to them.”
“That doesn’t sound like something that can be ignored.”
“Because their strength is incomparable to that of true gods. They might be strong for mortals, but in front of true gods, they can only retreat.” Infino didn’t have a good impression of evil gods. She had personally killed no less than dozens, if not a hundred, evil gods in her time.
The harm these guys could cause to this world was minimal. The destruction caused by gods fighting was far greater than what these evil gods struggled to achieve.
“Now that they’ve clearly shown their intention to retreat, even if you want to hunt them down, it will be difficult. Instead of wasting time here, it’s better to find the beastmen’s prophecy book first.”
“That’s true. Then let’s set off quickly. I remember the way from the beastmen’s territory to that cave very clearly!” Leticia accepted Infino’s statement, feeling that finding the prophecy book was indeed more important now.
A few hours later, the three, after circling through the beastmen’s territory, returned to the already unrecognizable cave.
First, it was blasted by Leticia’s lightning, then it suffered residual effects from the spatial shockwave caused by Huang’s self-destruction, and finally, those warriors wearing divine blood equipment were engulfed by flames. The current state of these black-robed believers could only be described as a handful of stragglers.
Scanning these black-robed beastmen slumped in the cave, Leticia couldn’t figure out who among them held the highest status.
But while she didn’t know who among them had the highest status, someone among them recognized Chu, who was following beside Leticia.
The reason was quite simple: Chu now exuded an aura of divinity, and the golden long dress embroidered with a phoenix pattern further indicated her identity.
In the eyes of these devout believers, the phantom of the golden phoenix behind Chu was too familiar. This was their god!
Although the holy land was destroyed, and their comrades suffered heavy losses, their mission was completed, and their god had returned to this world!
“My God!” The black-robed beastmen all knelt down, expressing their joy towards Chu with extremely devout postures.
Chu was stunned by this scene, but thankfully she had encountered such a situation before, so she didn’t make a fool of herself at this moment. She waved her hand and said softly to these beastmen, “Please rise. I broadly understand what has happened.”
“They will live eternally in the divine realm…”
