Chapter 340 Not of My Kind
"I sense something over there that strongly draws my soul in," Eloi's colossal avatar said in a low voice, its eyes fixed on the distant sea.
It's clear that Aloy desperately wants to go there, but she's still holding back.
Suk looked in that direction, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. "Let's go take a look."
Since we've taken the risk to come here, there's no reason not to explore it thoroughly.
Suk was also very curious about this desolate divine kingdom.
Suk and Eloi immediately flew toward the colossal statue, a million kilometers tall, at sea.
"This divine kingdom is so vast," Eloi couldn't help but exclaim during the flight.
Her "Ice Blood Sunflower" also broke through to immortality and built a divine kingdom, but compared with the divine kingdom in front of her, it was nothing.
Even the size of a god's kingdom varies. For example, some Golden Horned Beasts have an inner world with a diameter of 100 million kilometers, while other ordinary world lords generally only have a diameter of 100,000 kilometers. The two are not on the same level at all. The former's god kingdom was very large from the beginning after breaking through to immortality, and it will be even larger than other immortal gods when it expands later.
As immortals break through to become cosmic venerables, and cosmic venerables break through to become cosmic masters, the divine kingdom will continue to evolve and expand.
As they approached the giant serpent statue, Eloi's expression grew increasingly unsettled. Suk heard her whisper, "That feeling is getting stronger and stronger, it's so strange—"
Suk was also puzzled as to why Eloi was able to sense the statue while he was not. Could there be something special about Eloi?
As they approached the giant statue, Eloi remarked, "I can feel it; the attraction is coming from there."
.
Following the direction Eloi pointed, Suk saw the enormous snake head pointing skyward.
A colossal blue beast spread its wings and a tiny human in black armor flew toward the head of the giant serpent.
However, even the colossal behemoth, which is tens of thousands of kilometers tall, appears small and delicate compared to this giant statue.
When you reach the head of the giant serpent, at its dark and enormous eyes, those eyes are incredibly dark, like unfathomable black holes, with a maximum diameter of about 180,000 kilometers.
Wanxing's clone stopped, staring at the dark snake eye, and said to Suk beside him, "This is it. I can feel the attraction coming from the snake eye."
Suk stared into the snake's eyes, which were darker than the night, and fell into deep thought. He was pondering the changes in Eloi, but in the end, he still couldn't come up with any clues.
Even Elo herself didn't understand where that mysterious attraction came from.
"Then let's go and see what's going on," Suk said. He looked up at the dazzling sun high in the sky and felt something was wrong.
The divine kingdom has been barren for so long, countless billions of years. It's understandable that the Tree of Life exists, but a star shouldn't have such a long lifespan, right?
Suk and the Myriad Star Beast flew cautiously toward the enormous black snake eye.
As she got closer, Aloy clearly felt that incredible attraction, drawing her heart in, and even making her soul tremble.
Whoosh, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared, and the Wanxing clone beside him suddenly disappeared.
Suk's expression changed, because he felt a powerful, invisible force repelling him and preventing him from getting any closer.
At the same time, a subtle, almost imperceptible, thought was reminding and warning me; the message was—
"Those who are not of our kind are forbidden from approaching."
Suk stopped abruptly, sensing that if he forced his way in, it would likely end badly.
He looked ahead, at the darkness that was the color of a snake's eye, but he was still nearly a hundred kilometers away from the snake's eye.
Aloy disappeared, while he remained behind.
"As expected, Eloi has a rather special connection to this statue—" Suk breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't in a hurry, and he separated a sliver of his consciousness to contact Eloi directly through the virtual universe.
Before entering, the two agreed to stay in touch in the virtual universe.
Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain, primitive zone.
There are currently 102 Realm Lords in the Yuxiang Mountain Primitive Area. The Realm Lord-level Secret Realm Qualification Battle is held once every 100,000 years, and so far no Primitive Secret Realm Lord has fallen.
Suk arrived at Eloi's manor and met with her.
Seeing that Eloi was still safe and sound, Suk breathed a sigh of relief.
"What just happened? Are you alright?" Suk asked immediately.
Eloi nodded and said, "I'm fine, and I finally understand where that attraction from the soul comes from."
"Oh?" Suk's eyes lit up.
Eloi looked at Suk, "You remember my first teacher, don't you?"
Suk nodded. "I remember, your teacher's name was Yuefan Hou, right?"
Eloi smiled slightly and said, "That's right. My teacher barely had the strength to become a king. To put it simply, she was at the level of the 17th floor of the Bridge to Heaven. Later, during an adventure, she obtained a huge fortune, making her assets comparable to those of a king. It was also during that adventure that she obtained something, which she left to me after her teacher's death."
She looked at Suk and slowly said, "It's the crystallized heritage from the necklace I wore back then."
Suk finally remembered, but he was still puzzled. "Is there anything special about it?"
Suk had always thought that this inherited crystal was just like the "soul imprint" left by the "master of Meteorite Star" to his next generation of disciples, which was simply to modify the soul so that he could cultivate the secret techniques of Meteorite Star.
When Suk voiced his doubts, Eloi shook her head. "I thought so too, but when I asked Bubble just now, I found out that things aren't as simple as we thought. The legacy crystal left behind by my teacher did exist all along; he obtained it from somewhere."
She looked at Suk and said, "The details are too complicated to go into. I just entered the space inside the snake's eye and obtained some information. I also discovered some secrets—that inheritance crystal should have some kind of relationship with the owner of this statue."
"The owner of the statue?" Suk pondered, suddenly recalling the message he received when he approached the snake's eyes earlier—that it was not of his kind and he was being repelled by an invisible force.
Could it be that Eloi, who has fused with the inherited crystal, has already been considered as one of their "kin"?
A hint of excitement flickered in Eloi's eyes. "According to the information I received, the owner of that statue is called 'Tengshe,' an extremely ancient and powerful being in the universe. Even this divine kingdom is a legacy left behind by one of its followers."
Suk was somewhat shocked. The divine kingdom was actually left behind by a follower of the owner of that giant statue.
It's quite rare to regard the divine kingdom as the place of inheritance.
However, considering the vastness of this divine kingdom and the towering Tree of Life, the master here must be very confident in his strength and able to fight against the enemies who have invaded this place.
But judging from the current outcome, it seems to have failed.
It's unknown whether the "Teng Snake" is still alive.
Eloi then said, "Suk, I've now been recognized by the Inheritance Grounds and entered them. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep in touch with you all the time from now on—" Her tone was somewhat apologetic.
"It's alright, your current matter is more important, but be careful." Suk felt a little emotional. He had initially thought it was due to Eloi's myriad star clones, but it turned out to be the crystallized legacy left behind by Eloi's unassuming first teacher. It was truly unexpected.
Perhaps even the origin of that inherited crystal is beyond imagination.
Suk couldn't help but wonder, since what's special about Eloi's soul, does her human body also fit the inheritance site in the same way?
Now that he knew Aloy was safe, Suk was relieved for the time being and continued his exploration of the divine realm.
This divine kingdom was incredibly vast, with no end in sight. Suk even felt that it might be larger than the "Iceland".
Looking around, in this divine kingdom, besides the endless sea, the most eye-catching places are three: the giant statue in the sea, the tall Tree of Life, and the sun hanging in the sky.
"Let's examine this giant statue more carefully first." Suk looked down at the towering, enormous serpentine statue floating on the sea below, and flew down like a meteorite.
While conducting the investigation, we also recorded and filmed the process.
A moment later, a figure hovered and stood above the giant snake statue.
"We've finished checking everything. The statue in the sea and the one at the entrance have the same body proportions, so it's definitely the same person," Suk said thoughtfully.
"Secondly, both of them have the same number of scales, 100810 each." Suk paused here, this number... is a bit unusual.
Of course, there are differences, but no matter how hard Suk tried to figure it out, he couldn't come up with anything.
"Could it be like the Beast God statues in the Blood Luo World and the Golden Horn World, where only specific beings can comprehend them?" Suk murmured.
Suk keenly sensed that the statue clearly contained a supreme path, but the path it contained was different from the one he was currently walking.
Although he claimed that his talents in the Ten Laws were all top-notch, each comparable to a genius appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs, these talents were nothing special in the universe, and Suk would not be arrogant.
He shook his head, temporarily abandoning his exploration of the giant statue, and shifted his gaze to the enormous divine tree in the distance, which was tens of millions of kilometers tall and had a canopy spanning over 4000 million kilometers.
Whoosh! A streak of light swiftly swept across the surface of the divine ocean, flying towards the Tree of Life. Although the Tree of Life was visible in sight, it still took quite a while to fly there.
Finally, the light stopped in front of the Tree of Life and looked up slightly.
This is a divine tree standing tall in the world, its height spanning millions of kilometers. Its magnificent scale is enough to eclipse the stars. Its trunk is broad and thick, as if it were cast from the backbone of heaven and earth. Its surface is covered with mysterious patterns. Its branches and leaves are lush, and its canopy is like a vast nebula, extending to the horizon. Each leaf shimmers with a faint light, containing the power of life. Swaying gently in the still wind, it outlines a magnificent scene that transcends the mortal world.
Suk stared at it for a long time before letting out a soft sigh. "What a pity."
This magnificent Tree of Life, though not as powerful as the World Tree, is still coveted by countless powerful beings. With it, one can guard and stabilize the divine kingdom. However, it grows in this already desolate divine kingdom.
Once the Tree of Life takes root, it cannot be moved.
Moreover, Suk currently has no way of taking the Tree of Life, which is tens of millions of kilometers tall, with him.
So, without damaging the Tree of Life, Suk only cut off some side branches and took them away to see if he could grow anything from them.
Finally, Suk aimed at a star in the sky.
In his view, this star was the most illogical existence in this divine kingdom.
Suk quickly soared into the sky, flying high towards the bright star in the heavens.
With his speed, he was confident he could reach that star's location quickly.
But his expression quickly changed.
An invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, abruptly stopping him.
He was very familiar with this situation; it was similar to the black snake eye spot before, where one could not proceed any further once they reached a certain distance.
"Just as I expected." Suk stopped, his expression calm. "This planet also has secrets."
Suk already knew that there were many opportunities and treasures in the universe, and some were indeed lucky, but most were reserved for those who were destined to find them.
"Like the Star Tower," it was left there by the Mountain-Sitting Guest for the inheritors, and no matter how hard others try, they cannot obtain it.
The "Divine General Inheritance" palace seems open to everyone, but only one person can ultimately obtain the complete Divine General Inheritance and become a member of the "Ancestral Divine General".
Whether it's a stroke of luck or a priceless treasure, it's not something you can obtain just by chance or wish for it. Generally, it's something that a super being deliberately left behind for their successors.
The same applies here; it's reserved for those who are deemed worthy. If Eloi didn't meet the requirements, even if they got in, they wouldn't be able to obtain the opportunities here. For example, Suk can only watch helplessly right now.
"As expected, the kind of good fortune where you find treasure while walking around is something most people can only dream of," Suk sighed slightly.
Suddenly his expression changed, and he looked down at the sea below, only to find that the giant statue, which was millions of kilometers tall, was actually glowing and vibrating.
Moreover, all the light rippled like waves, gradually converging on the giant serpent's raised head and onto its eyes.
"What happened?" Suk asked anxiously, because Eloi was still inside.
Suddenly, an incredibly thick beam of light shot out from the single eye of the giant statue. Since the statue's head was raised and facing the star in the sky, the beam of light shot directly towards the star.
Boom! It almost narrowly missed Suk, giving him a fright.
"This, this is..." Suk turned around and saw the huge beam of light fall into the star, and the entire star suddenly burst out with unparalleled dazzling light.
It suddenly became a thousand times more dazzling!
The entire divine kingdom seemed to be illuminated in an instant.
The Tree of Life, the giant statues on the sea... everything was illuminated, and the vast divine kingdom suddenly became dazzling.
"Woo~~~" The moan of an unknown creature came from the stars, exuding nobility and domineering power, yet making people involuntarily want to submit.
Faintly, a huge, winding creature's shadow rose in the starlight, constantly flying and swirling. Within the light, a massive and magnificent palace was revealed, radiating boundless pressure. Above the palace's gate were three incredibly ancient and mysterious characters. Although they were indistinguishable, the meaning of these three characters was directly transmitted into the mind of the Tengshe Palace!
"The Tengshe Palace?" Suk, who was standing in the air below, showed a look of shock. Wasn't this the name of the great being that the master of the divine kingdom followed, as Eloi had mentioned before?
Suk also saw a figure appear in front of the palace, covered in blue scales; it was Eloivan's clone who had entered the Eye of the Statue earlier.
She went to the palace of the stars.
However, Suk vaguely noticed that Wanxing seemed to have undergone some changes. His body was larger and longer, and he seemed to have several more pairs of wings.
Just then, Eloi seemed to sense something, turned around, saw Suk, and nodded slightly.
Those eyes were no longer the pure color of starlight, but rather carried a dark and mysterious blue.
Then the light on the star intensified again, booming and enveloping the entire palace, and Aloy's figure disappeared.
Suk stared blankly at the scene. "Were all these changes caused by Eloi? What did she go through inside?"
