Star Odyssey Chapter 1975

Chapter 1975

"Senior G.o.d of Mirrors, do those statues of giants depict one of the giant races?" Lu Yin asked curiously.

G.o.d of Wind was the one to answer. "Of course not. Normal giants are not that big. Those are just giant statues that we created from runes. They only hold a symbolic significance and have nothing to do with giants."

Lu Yin stared at the kneeling statues that were holding all of G.o.ds' Origin on their backs. "Each face is different."

"Yes. The giants are symbolic, and the statues’ faces are those of my G.o.ds’ Origin’s enemies. Every enemy that we kill will be made into a giant statue to hold up my G.o.ds’ Origin to serve as an atonement. They can only be dismissed after many years have gone by, or when a greater enemy is killed and their face is replaced," G.o.d of Wind explained.

Lu Yin frowned. This reminded him of the Lu family’s Champions’ Stage.

The Lu family anointed dead cultivators as champions of their Champions’ Stage in order to build up a fighting force. It was not something that was done to purposefully humiliate people, or at least, not for Lu Yin. However, the only purpose behind G.o.ds’ Origin’s statues was to humiliate their defeated foes. It was no wonder why people saw them as insane.

"If I one day accidentally become an enemy of G.o.ds' Origin and end up dead, will I be treated in the same manner?" Lu Yin asked with a smile.

G.o.d of Wind was taken aback, but she quickly replied, "Alliance Leader Lu, please don't create any misunderstandings. How could you and my G.o.ds’ Origin become enemies? Even ignoring your friends.h.i.+p with G.o.d Taiyi, you’ve already met with G.o.d of Mirrors several times, and you’ve gained his admiration. You aren’t our enemy, and you won’t become one in the future."

Lu Yin smiled. "You’re being too polite, Senior. I was merely joking."

As they spoke, Lu Yin noticed the face of one of the giant statues. "Is that Jin Mie?"

G.o.d of Wind followed Lu Yin's gaze, and her expression fell. "Yes, that's Jin Mie, the traitor! My G.o.ds’ Origin raised him and taught him Truesight, but he ungratefully stole our treasures, and he even went so far as to try infiltrating G.o.d of Flames’ training place and spying on him. That traitor will remain there forever to pay for his sins. He will never be forgiven!"

"I heard that G.o.d of Flames has been in seclusion for a very long time. Though, I would love to meet him. I’ve heard that he’s a senior from the same generation as Arch-Elder Zen and that he’s in seclusion to push for the Semi-Progenitor level," Lu Yin said as the entire group stepped onto a landma.s.s held up by one of the giant statues. There was a majestic palace floating in front of them, and the land and sky was filled with various creatures that Lu Yin had never seen before.

However, there was a shared aspect among all of the creatures; they all gave off a sacred feeling, as though they had stepped out of holy scriptures.

G.o.ds' Origin gave off a vivid sense of both sacredness and ruthlessness with the paradisiacal land they had created.

G.o.d of Wind was leading the way while G.o.d Taiyi and many other people of high status within G.o.ds’ Origin had already gathered up and were waiting to greet Lu Yin. The eighteen G.o.ds were all present, including Yao Hong, though she was standing at the back with her head hung low. She did not even dare to look up at Lu Yin.

After hearing Lu Yin mention G.o.d of Flames, G.o.d of Wind grew apologetic. "My G.o.ds’ Origin has nothing to hide from you, Alliance Leader Lu, so I’ll be honest. It’s extremely difficult to become a Semi-Progenitor, and although G.o.d of Flames has been in seclusion for a very long time and stated that he would not return until he becomes a Semi-Progenitor, we have heard nothing from him this entire time. We don’t know what’s become of G.o.d of Flames, though we do know for certain that he’s at least not dead.”

Lu Yin's eyes flickered. The man was not dead? For some time now, rumors had been circulating that G.o.d of Flames had died, but this was something that G.o.ds’ Origin would never admit to. G.o.d of Flames’ mere existence allowed G.o.ds’ Origin to remain a Neoverse behemoth. While G.o.d of Mirrors had a power level of over 700,000, it was impossible for him to preserve G.o.ds’ Origin’s status on his own with such strength, regardless of how incredible Truesight was.

"Is it more difficult to become a Semi-Progenitor through Truesight?" Lu Yin asked.

G.o.d of Mirrors led Lu Yin into G.o.ds’ Origin’s main hall as he replied, "It's very difficult. If you train exclusively in Truesight, then let alone the Semi-Progenitor realm, it’s practically impossible to reach a power level of a million. Out of everyone in G.o.ds’ Origin, only G.o.d of Flames has managed to accomplish that, and he’s reached the cusp of becoming a Semi-Progenitor with his incredible talent. He’s already pa.s.sed through eight tribulations, but it’s just too difficult to become a Semi-Progenitor.”

"From what we’ve learned about the Rune Civilization from our research, this might have something to do with the Rune Progenitor himself. Originally, when the Rune Progenitor was present, there were many powerhouses at the peak of the Rune Civilizations. However, after the Progenitor disappeared, something seems to have gone missing.”

Lu Yin's pupils transformed into runes, and he started looking around. He instantly noticed that the odd creatures, beautiful palaces, and everything else in G.o.ds’ Origin had been created from runes. The entire place was an odd world of runes, and the runes could even be freely altered. In other words, the buildings, the mountains, rivers, land, and even the creatures could be transformed into other forms.

The palaces could transform into mountains or rivers. Water could become earth or fire, and the creatures could be changed into white clouds. This was G.o.ds’ Origin.

"Alliance Leader Lu, will the Tower of the Fifth house any inheritances related to Truesight?" G.o.d of Mirrors asked.

Lu Yin shrugged. "While I wanted to include that as well, I have no idea how to go about it. I only started training in Truesight and entered the Awakening level after climbing the Sky Platform in the Astral Combat Academy."

"I can’t help but admire you greatly. The creation of the Tower of the Fifth will lead to the entire human race enjoying incredible benefits. You are truly selfless. Even when it comes to your cultivation talent, despite not being part of my G.o.ds’ Origin, you’ve already reached the Knowing level of Truesight. Our people spend all of their time focused on cultivating Truesight, and yet we can’t even match your speed of comprehension." G.o.d of Mirrors first complimented Lu Yin before giving a comment that may or may not have been made intentionally.

The man’s words were a bit vague, but it was easy to understand his intentions. He simply wanted to negotiate with Lu Yin over the location of the statue with the Truesight inheritance that Lu Yin had found. "Jin He was the most talented cultivator of his generation when it came to Truesight. He was the first in his entire generation to reach the Knowing realm."

G.o.d of Wind's expression turned ugly. "He’s just another traitor! That traitor Jin Mie stole a treasure from my G.o.ds’ Origin, which was the only reason why he was able to reach such a high level. Without that, hmph!"

"G.o.d Taiyi greets Alliance Leader Lu."

"G.o.d Qingguang greets Alliance Leader Lu."

"G.o.d Xiaobai greets Alliance Leader Lu."

"G.o.d of Windhua…"

…

The eighteen G.o.ds all had the word “G.o.d” in their names, and they were the most talented youths in G.o.ds' Origin. The elites of the older generation were the eight G.o.ds, and they consisted of G.o.d of Mirrors, G.o.d of Magenta, G.o.d of Wind, and a few others.

Lu Yin made a point to ask if there were eighteen G.o.ds for each generation in G.o.ds’ Origin, but it seemed that only a few people were able to stand out to the very end.

For example, G.o.d of Wind had been exceptional among her past generation of the eighteen G.o.ds.

Lu Yin smiled and said, "It’s good to see you, Brother Taiyi. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other."

G.o.d Taiyi lifted his head to look at Lu Yin and revealed a wry smile. "You’re moving ahead way too fast, Alliance Leader Lu. This little brother can't keep up with you."

Lu Yin had a very good impression of G.o.d Taiyi. Regardless of G.o.ds’ Origin’s reputation, Lu Yin had never seen anything resembling insanity from G.o.d Taiyi, and the man had even helped Lu Yin in the past. In fact, Lu Yin had learned about the Leo family working indirectly under Xia Ji’s orders as part of the ma.s.sive scheme to start a war in the Cosmic Sea from him.

During that same war, Lu Yin had managed to drag G.o.ds’ Origin into the chaos precisely because of G.o.d Taiyi.

"Well, I'm here now. If you’re free, I’d appreciate it if you could show me around G.o.ds’ Origin, Brother Taiyi," Lu Yin answered with a smile.

G.o.d Taiyi glanced over at G.o.d of Mirrors, and the elder gave a slight nod.

The young man then stepped forward with a smile. "As long as you don’t get bored, I’d be happy to do so."

At the back of the gathered crowd, Yao Hong’s head was still hanging low. The arrogant att.i.tude that she had demonstrated in Skyraiser City was nowhere to be seen.

G.o.d of Wind had slapped the young woman’s face right in front of Lu Yin. After returning to G.o.ds' Origin, Yao Hong had been given even greater punishments, but what hurt her the most was that G.o.d Taiyi had started to ignore her. In the past, they had been quite close, but Yao Hong had been cut off because of Lu Yin.

It was only after all this that Yao Hong had finally understood just whom she had offended. Lu Yin stood far, far above her.

The young woman had changed, and she now regretted how she had not dedicated herself to training in the past, as well as her oppressive arrogance. At the same time, she was terrified that Lu Yin would want to settle things with her once and for all.

However, Yao Hong was overthinking things. Lu Yin had already forgotten all about her.

With G.o.d Taiyi playing host to Lu Yin, G.o.d of Mirrors offered a few more polite words to Lu Yin before leaving to entertain the Second Nightking. G.o.d Taiyi was much better suited for chatting with someone of Lu Yin’s age than the old man.

G.o.d of Wind also left.

However, one other person followed behind Lu Yin and G.o.d Taiyi, G.o.d Xiaobai. She was a cute and energetic girl, and she was the also the closest person to G.o.d Taiyi.

However, when he saw G.o.d Xiaobai trying to sneakily tag along, G.o.d Taiyi scolded her. "What are you doing here? Go on back."

G.o.d Xiaobai stuck out her tongue and then begged, "Brother Taiyi, please let me come along! I want to get to know Alliance Leader Lu."

G.o.d Taiyi glared at the girl. "Head on back. Don’t be a nuisance to Alliance Leader Lu."

G.o.d Xiaobai felt rather wistful, and she looked over at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin smiled at her. "Let her tag along if she wants. She’s a pretty girl, and she’s much better to look at than you."

G.o.d Taiyi smiled ruefully and then he turned to warn G.o.d Xiaobai. "Don't cause any problems."

G.o.d Xiaobai was thrilled to be given permission. "You don’t need to worry about that!”

She then turned back to Lu Yin and smiled at him. “"Brother Lu, I'll show you around! Brother Taiyi doesn't know anything about this place, but I'm different since I’ve explored it all."

"I just told you not to cause problems!" G.o.d Taiyi scolded the girl again.

Lu Yin replied, "It's fine. Brother Taiyi, you are being too serious. You weren’t like this before. Gu Xiao’er even told me that you introduced G.o.d Xiaobai to him."

G.o.d Taiyi's expression instantly changed.

G.o.d Xiaobai’s eyes grew sharp, and she turned to stare at G.o.d Taiyi before asking in a dangerous voice, "Brother Taiyi, is that true? Did you actually agree to introduce me to that idiotic Gu Xiao’er?"

G.o.d Taiyi was feeling very awkward. "It’s nothing. We just were making random conversation after drinking too much."

"Hmph! Introduce me to Brother Lu if you got what it takes." G.o.d Xiaobai rolled her eyes.

Lu Yin was left speechless. Why did he get mentioned, too?

As Lu Yin’s strength and status continued to climb, his old friends and acquaintances had gradually started to show different att.i.tudes towards him. Luckily, this time, the awkward atmosphere had been broken by a small joke, and with G.o.d Xiaobai present, G.o.d Taiyi was able to slowly relax and refer to Lu Yin as Brother Lu once more, instead of Alliance Leader Lu.

Lu Yin did not care what G.o.d Taiyi called him. In the end, Lu Yin was happier to have more friends rather than business partners whose interests aligned with his own.

Actually, after thinking about it, Lu Yin realized that he did not have very many friends, but his family was quite large. There was Leon’s Armada, Wendy Yushan, Brother Hui Kong, his senior brother the Chief Justice, and more. Lu Yin was not alone.

G.o.d Xiaobai was a bit different from the other eighteen G.o.ds, and she showed none of the arrogance that the others possessed. She was basically a playful girl, and she was perfectly happy to give Lu Yin and G.o.d Taiyi a tour of G.o.ds' Origin.

"It looks like G.o.ds’ Origin doesn’t have too many visitors," Lu Yin commented while watching G.o.d Xiaobai prattle on.

G.o.d Taiyi nodded. "You know how most people view us, Brother Lu. There aren’t many people who like the atmosphere of my G.o.ds’ Origin."

Lu Yin pointed downwards. "That must scare away most people, but also, no one dares to offend G.o.ds' Origin."
