A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1005 - 991: Wielding Divine Power
Heruo's body bore at least a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to that of the Medusa race.
If there was truly any difference to be found,
it was that the Medusa race resembled some kind of serpentine monster, while Heruo leaned more towards human traits.
"You've finally arrived."
A gigantic white silhouette condensed in front of Baiyu, quickly reducing to his size.
Heruo crossed her arms over her shoulders, her waist slightly bent, and her tone was very cordial: "Thank you for believing everything I said, and thank you for coming here to take this risk for me."
The other party was so polite.
Baiyu was somewhat surprised, as his impression of these named ones was that they were all incredibly proud. The longer they lived, the more arrogant they were, treating humans like ants or mortal bones.
"How many years have you been here?"
Baiyu asked.
Heruo shook her head: "I'm not sure. With the long passage of time and the absence of any reference objects, this place has been one and the same for ten thousand years, long making all creatures living in this underground palace lose the concept of time.
However,
the underground palace has been opened several times.
Several groups of humans and other creatures have come in.
From their mouths,
I learned roughly about the changes in the Outer World.
Humans were able to regain sovereignty over Holy Terra, even when Holy Terra Star was isolated by spirit substance. This surprised me greatly."
Heruo did not doubt human ability,
but rather,
in the Spirit Realm, there are too many ancient, old, terrifying races.
The Spirit Realm is like the dark side of the universe; no one knows how vast it is or how many creatures live there.
The ability of humans to hold Holy Terra Star, a traffic hub connecting the universe and the Spirit Realm, is already remarkable.
Baiyu did not continue on this topic.
He said in a deep voice, "Why do you know things about the Canglan Star? Are you a native creature, or do you come from outer space?"
Nowadays,
he is already able to determine that outside the Canglan Star is a vast universe.
This place is Earth.
There is a Companion Moon, and there is the Sun.
Only outside of Earth, there is an additional layer of spirit substance, preventing these martial artists and extraordinaries, powerful to the point of absurdity, from leaving this star.
So it's very possible that creatures like Heruo are extraterrestrial visitors.
"That's right, I am indeed not a native lifeform of Holy Terra. My race and I come from the Sagittarius Star System in the Galaxy, not just us. The deities you know,
Stone, Blood, Meat, Light,
these four divine spirits, only the Light Origin God and Meat Origin God, as well as some of the Blood Origin God, are native divine spirits on Holy Terra.
All Stone Origin Gods are outsiders.
We followed the God of Seven Heads and came to Holy Terra.
Since Holy Terra is so special,
after we discovered that the spirit substance made it impossible to leave this planet, we wanted to seize this planet, but the result was unacceptable. The resilience and courage of humanity, as well as the strength of human divine spirits, led us to mistakenly underestimate the state of the war.
In the Battle of Blood Stone,
Seven Coils, Reverse Hatchling Egg, Tides, Wheel, and Flint fell one after another, leaving only the Double-Horned Axe surviving, but it also made a deal with human divine spirits.
Seven Coils was killed by the Scar God and the Ant Mother.
Reverse Hatchling Egg escaped into the Aurora after the Stone Origin Gods found themselves in an absolute disadvantage.
Tides were consumed by the Red Cup, who then inherited the mighty divine power of Tides.
Flint was shattered under the blazing flames of the Daytime Furnace, its radiance completely overshadowed by the furnace's fire.
Wheel was then drained of the Holy Blood by a moth.
The tragic defeat of the Stone Origin Gods also led us through endless ages to suffer excruciating torment, but this torment did not come from human divine spirits, but from these deceased Stone Origin Gods.
Once they perished,
we named beings were locked in their palaces, unable to take a step away.
Back then, our race,
was conquered by the mighty Stone Origin Gods, who promised us liberation after a million years of service.
But even after their deaths, they were still unwilling to let us go."
Hatred was evident in Heruo's eyes.
Clearly,
it absolutely did not wish for Seven Coils to be resurrected and return, for if that were the case, it would be enslaved once again.
"Are you sure you can stop Seven Coils from being resurrected?"
Baiyu asked in a deep voice.
Heruo nodded: "As long as you can successfully liberate me, I have a seventy percent chance of killing the most loyal named being of Seven Coils. It is the biggest driving force behind Seven Coils's resurrection in these years."
"How can I liberate you?"
Baiyu looked at the large wall behind Heruo's silhouette.
It was engraved with complex symbols, so intricate that a glance made one feel dizzy, and there was no entrance at all.
"You have the power of the Red Cup on you, but it's extremely faint. Yet I've sensed another immense power of the Divine Spirit, the Black Moon..."
Heruo's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "The Black Moon is without mercy. I didn't expect that after you became its follower, you could survive; no wonder the Red Cup accepted you.
Now,
as long as you channel the divine power within you and approach the wall, you'll naturally be able to come to where I am trapped.
Then, use the blood of your Ancient Human Race to release my binding."
Baiyu frowned.
Channeling divine power was something he didn't know how to do.
Using Black Moon power was simple; he could activate it using the Black Moon Mark. But divine power? What exactly was that?
Moreover,
if Heruo hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that he was once a follower of the Red Cup.
He had no idea how to use these two forces.
"You don't know how to channel the power of a divine spirit?"
Heruo was somewhat surprised, but quickly calmed down: "It seems that in the middle of the war, humanity has indeed lost a lot of important ancient books, and the connection with your divine spirits has also weakened.
Otherwise,
someone with two divine powers within them like you shouldn't be unsure how to channel them.
I can teach you.
However, the use of divine power must be done with extreme caution. The more you use it, the deeper the connection with this divine spirit becomes.
This connection is very difficult to sever unilaterally.
And the divine forces within you are from entities that are not merciful.
The Black Moon is without mercy, the desires of the Red Cup are never satisfied, and this path is fraught with danger and thorns."
In the massive white silhouette of Heruo, a small white light dot separated and merged into Baiyu's body.
In an instant,
an influx of knowledge poured into Baiyu's mind, but he assimilated this knowledge almost instantaneously, with hardly any impact.
Using divine power,
in the past, he used Black Moon power, but it was not truly Black Moon Divine Power. It was a variant resulting from the combination of Black Moon Divine Power and Blood Qi.
To truly use divine power,
one must remember the divine word of the divine spirit,
which is their prayer language.
Then,
they must also use the Divine Emblem
which represents the deity's symbol.
