Chapter 1188: Chapter 1174: The Deities of the Blade Realm

Facing Baiyu’s inquiry, Elise was completely clueless.

She was even like Baiyu, a novice.

With such unreliable allies, Baiyu could only sigh helplessly. Originally, he wanted to understand the situation of the other families from Elise, but this plan completely fell through.

After chatting with her for a few moments, Baiyu left again.

The Laine Clan’s territory was terrifyingly large, even the surrounding mountains had their buildings.

It was practically an independent kingdom.

Baiyu wandered around aimlessly for a while, then began to explore.

However.

He wasn’t really wandering.

After all, understanding the environment here was related to his safety afterward.

Soon.

Baiyu reached a picturesque mountain.

There were few buildings on this mountain.

It wasn’t until Baiyu reached the top that he saw an old cottage, with a gigantic phoenix tree behind it.

There wasn’t a single leaf on the tree, it seemed dead for a long time.

In front of the tree.

Sat an elderly man.

He was filthy, his clothes were tattered, resembling a beggar.

"Old man?"

Baiyu looked at him.

The man did not respond.

Baiyu asked again: "Old man? Can you hear me?"

This time.

The figure sitting under the phoenix tree moved slightly, turned his head, and looked at Baiyu: "What’s the matter?"

"Uh, nothing really, just curious, what are you doing here?"

Baiyu walked to the side, sat next to the old man, and looked at the giant phoenix tree. From this angle, it appeared even more majestic and terrifying.

Like a powerful life form.

"I’m communicating with this tree."

The old man said without a trace of emotion.

Baiyu could clearly sense that this tree did not have any Spirituality overflowing, nor did it show signs of life like the Tai Mai Ancient Tree.

"It’s already dead." Baiyu said.

"Yes, but my communication with it has nothing to do with whether it’s dead or alive."

"Then what are you asking it?"

"Asking it... how many secrets are hidden in the depths of the starry sky, on the Central Divine Continent. On the Central Divine Continent, countless civilizations were born and perished, with numerous ancient lives lying dormant.

That’s the heart of the universe, the stage for all life.

Why did humans come from a remote planet and come to dominate the Central Divine Continent?"

The old man’s voice carried a deep sense of bewilderment.

Baiyu always felt that his Spirit was somewhat abnormal, maybe even bordering on madness.

"Are you part of the Laine Clan?"

"Laine Clan? Yes, yes. But I’m not interested in the lion family, I much prefer the phoenix tree..."

The old man shook his head and suddenly looked at Baiyu.

His gaze was incredibly sharp, like two blades aiming to pierce Baiyu: "You carry the scent of the Black Moon, I felt it right, it’s that mysterious Black Moon."

Baiyu’s eyes slightly shifted.

He hadn’t revealed the Black Moon Divine Power and had purposely disguised it, yet the old man still noticed.

"Don’t worry, I’m not a follower of the Black Moon, but I have great respect for those ancient beings."

The old man smiled faintly, his attitude suddenly became much friendlier: "You can call me Gu Ye, a name I chose using the language of a tribe that worships the phoenix."

"Geman."

Baiyu introduced briefly.

Then.

Casually asked: "Are the phoenix and the lion both Divine Spirits..."

The old man nodded: "Yes, they are, like the Black Moon, great beings, Divine Spirits, unfathomable entities, embodiments of mastered Law."

The old man’s Spirit was clearly not normal.

Whether it was his suddenly changing emotions or that sleepwalking-like state, neither was typical for a Cultivator.

The Laine Clan.

With Gold as its primary decorative item, the lion as its emblem, and lion sculptures and gold artifacts visible throughout the family.

In other words.

The Laine Clan actually worships a Divine Spirit, or rather, the Laine Clan is a Clan of the Divine Spirit.

"The lion is the faith of the Laine Clan."

Baiyu reminded the old man.

The man nodded, speaking in a dreamy tone: "Yes, the lion represents resistance, struggle, combat, revolution, and betrayal.

I don’t like lions.

But ever since I was born, I’ve been its follower. I prefer the phoenix tree, it’s so beautiful, like burning flames..."

Baiyu frowned.

The old man’s words were quite illogical, and even the language and word choices were obviously chaotic.

Communicating with him was really difficult.

Left with no choice.

Baiyu directly asked: "Which Divine Spirit is the lion? And the phoenix tree, which Divine Spirit does it refer to?"

According to the records in the Great City’s library.

In the universe, there should be at least thirty or more Divine Spirits.

Many of whom have long since died.

Like the Scorching Sun, Seven Coils, Bai Xue, and Wave.

These Divine Spirits have all passed away.

Though their names may sound ordinary, named after natural phenomena for simplicity, but this also reflects their mastery over their domains.

The ancient tradition of naming Divine Spirits has always maintained this style.

Being straightforward, instantly indicating their domain of mastery.

This habit.

Has persisted to this day.

However now, no beings have become new gods; technically, there’s still vacancy for Divine Spirits, many slots in the Dream Realm.

Yet there are no reports of new Divine Spirits emerging.

Even having read all the Ancient Books of the Great City, Baiyu only has a superficial understanding of a dozen Divine Spirits.

Those he understands somewhat better are only a few.

Thus, he wants to know as much as possible about Divine Spirits’ affairs, to avoid being caught off guard by Divine Spirit-related circumstances in the future.

At this time.

The old man took a deep breath: "The lion is the child of Scar, it was born from Scar, but it has no scars, it’s full of vitality, its believers never age.

It’s called.

Lion Craftsman."

Baiyu’s pupils contracted slightly.

This was the first time he’d heard this name.

Moreover.

What does it mean, Scar’s child?

"Lion Craftsman and Scar God, what’s their relationship? Are they father and child??"

"Yes, they are father and child, but eternal opponents, like water and fire, never to coexist."

The old man slowly said.

"Then didn’t Scar God face heavenly retribution? Immortals wish to kill their offspring, let alone Divine Spirits!"

Baiyu exclaimed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This was the first time he’d heard that Divine Spirits could have offspring!

"Hehe, the Lion Craftsman’s power doesn’t come from Scar, the child existed before Scar’s Ascension.

The Lion Craftsman’s power comes from the Flame Queen.

Therefore.

Scar never faced heavenly retribution.

Lion Craftsman, Scar, and the Double-Horned Axe, these three Divine Spirits, together master the Blade Realm, the domain of Blade."
