Chapter 1266 - 114: What Exactly Is It?

"Divine Soul, naturally, is the soul of a god. Just as it is a part of god, Divine Soul, Divine Status, and divine consciousness form a Trinity yet are mutually independent," the Divine Envoy explained.

"Is it my imagination, or does your knowledge seem much richer than before? Initially, you knew nothing when asked," Long Yi suddenly said.

"This is the power of divine consciousness. As long as I possess divine consciousness, anything I see is immediately understood by me. I do not need to possess that knowledge, for it originally belongs to me," the Divine Envoy explained.

"Oh my heavens, how complicated! My brain is about to explode!" Long Yi exclaimed. Then, he suddenly thought of someone he had locked up in his private space.

"Right, right, walking encyclopedia, take a look at this," Long Yi said, taking out the Crystal Stone prison holding Solis and handing it to the Divine Envoy.

"Divine Worm!" the Divine Envoy almost immediately exclaimed aloud.

"Divine Envoy!"

Solis too exclaimed in surprise. He had seen many embodying Divine Status, but Divine Envoys were extremely rare, and such a powerful Divine Envoy was even rarer.

"Hey, didn’t you say that was not the Divine Worm?" Long Yi said.

"That creature is certainly not the Divine Worm. The real Divine Worms are fragments of consciousness born within divine consciousness. They reside in the consciousness of a god, occasionally causing the god to have some insane ideas. But clearly, when the god split himself, he also separated these Divine Worms, and they parasitized on the Divine Soul," the Divine Envoy explained.

Long Yi suddenly realized that he had always been interacting with the Divine Worm but had misunderstood its true nature. Long Yi had always thought that the so-called Divine Worm was that red part, but that was not the case. The red part was the Divine Soul, a part of the god, whereas the real Divine Worm was the fragment of consciousness that was always attached to the Divine Soul.

At this moment, Solis was extremely nervous. Being a Divine Worm, he was actually quite fragile since he was merely a fragment of consciousness. Even as a complete consciousness, he did not believe he was a match for either Long Yi or the Divine Envoy. He had always relied on fragments of the Divine Soul and lies and threats to ensure his safety. But now, having lost the Divine Soul fragment, and with the Divine Envoy nearby, lies and threats had lost their effect. Solis knew that he was truly done for.

"No wonder he always devoured the consciousness of other Divine Worms but left the Divine Soul fragments behind because the Divine Soul fragment was not his true form," Long Yi finally understood.

The burst of golden light also alerted Xiaodie and Little Zi nearby, who were studying a new magic. They immediately came over upon detecting the strange energy fluctuations. Upon arriving, they saw it was the Divine Envoy.

Thus, Little Zi proceeded to make customary pleasantries, whereas the appearance of Xiaodie surprised the Divine Envoy. The reason for the surprise was that the Divine Envoy couldn’t immediately discern what kind of life form Xiaodie was.

In this multiverse, the Divine Envoy, possessing Divine Status and divine consciousness, could ascertain everything about anything he sees.

"Unless you are not from our universe," the Divine Envoy said.

"I’ve considered this matter ever since I came here, and I also believe I’m probably not a life form from this universe," Xiaodie said.

"Then, from which universe do you come?" the Divine Envoy asked.

"I really don’t know that; initially, I wasn’t a higher intelligence life form," Xiaodie said.

"I see, then let me phrase it differently. Does your universe have gods?" the Divine Envoy asked again.

"I don’t know... but in my memory, there aren’t any," Xiaodie said.

"Alright, I understand," the Divine Envoy nodded.

"What do you understand?" Long Yi was puzzled. You asked a bunch of questions and end up not giving an answer?

"I’ve just reached a shocking conclusion, but I don’t yet know if it’s true. Are you interested in hearing it?" the Divine Envoy said.

"Yes, of course," Long Yi replied, smiling.

"I suspect that Xiaodie might be from a higher universe because all the lower universes, including this one, should be under my domain unless she’s from a higher universe possessing the same level of energy as me, so I can’t grasp her knowledge," the Divine Envoy said.

"Wait a minute, what you’re saying is, gods also come from a higher universe," Long Yi quickly caught the key point.

"No, what I’m saying is, this matter is too far removed from you," the Divine Envoy said.

"How far can it be?" Long Yi asked, smiling, while displaying his Divine Status. Little Zi also simultaneously unleashed her Thousandfold Divine Form.

"Let’s not discuss Little Zi’s Divine Status for now. Where does your Divine Status come from? I can sense that it is not a part of mine," the Divine Envoy asked, puzzled.

"Wait, don’t you feel the pressure?" Long Yi originally wanted Little Zi to release her Divine Status to boast a little. After all, letting out Little Zi surely gave the Divine Envoy a scare, but it seemed that the Divine Envoy felt absolutely no effect in front of the Thousandfold Divine Form.

"Yes, I can feel the pressure. But my divine consciousness is strong enough that I can ignore this kind of pressure. No, no, no, you first answer my question, where does your strong Divine Status come from?" the Divine Envoy asked.

"My Divine Status, strong?" Long Yi asked, puzzled.

"Yes, very strong. Because your Divine Status is completely different from mine, or rather, your Divine Status didn’t come from a god, did it?" the Divine Envoy asked.

"Well, my Divine Status is naturally born," Long Yi said.

"What?" the Divine Envoy widened her eyes, "Are you sure you aren’t joking with me?"

"Why would I joke about such a thing?" Long Yi laughed.

"Did you actually create life, or did you just gain some true believers?" the Divine Envoy hurriedly asked.

"When I still held Divine Status originating from the same source as yours, I once created life in the spiritual world. Does that count?" Long Yi asked.

"After you created life, did anything special happen?" the Divine Envoy pressed.

"Well, my body turned completely black, a robe mysteriously appeared on me, and a huge Array and Divine Text emerged behind me," Long Yi said.

"My god, a divine likeness! You really are... you really are incredible..." the Divine Envoy muttered.

"Hahaha, there’s even more incredible stuff! I also got some followers! Right there in the Ancient Mage Tower," Long Yi boasted.

"Followers? Can you feel their faith?" the Divine Envoy seemed a bit nervous.

"Yes, I can feel the connection between those followers and me. Later, I gave all my Divine Status to Little Zi. I thought I had lost all my Divine Status, but soon enough, it emerged on its own," Long Yi said.

"Indeed, by creating life, you summoned a divine likeness, and through your followers, you gained the power of faith. Now, your Divine Status should have merged with your soul... As of now, your Divine Soul, Divine Status, and consciousness are one — Trinity. In a way, you have already become a god."

Upon hearing this from the Divine Envoy, Long Yi felt goosebumps all over his body. The gods were so mysterious, and he had somehow inadvertently become a god?

"Wait a minute, if I have become a god, why am I still being chased and attacked by the Dragon Clan? My godhood is a bit tragic, isn’t it?" Long Yi seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"To an ant, a three-year-old child without any powers is almost as formidable as you. But do you think how many three-year-olds have your fighting ability?"

"Er, a billion?" Long Yi actually wanted to say an infinite number, but as someone with a science background, he decided to be more realistic—some bragging is just not possible.

"You really wanted to say an infinite number, right?" the Divine Envoy’s somber face cracked a slight smile.

"Exactly, that’s what I meant," Long Yi said, also smiling sheepishly.

"It’s the same for gods; even gods aren’t born as gods," the Divine Envoy said, becoming pensive again.

"You seem to have mentioned something drastic again. You just mentioned the War of the Gods, are you planning to tell me about the origins of gods now?" Long Yi said with a slanting glance.

"Don’t you already know how you became a god?" the Divine Envoy said.

"My godhood is a bit tragic. Others can easily create universes, create life... Wait a minute! I remember the Giants also created life! Why didn’t they become gods?" Long Yi immediately caught on to something.

"Who told you the Giants didn’t become gods?" the Divine Envoy countered.

"My heavens, are you saying the Giants all became gods?"

"No, not all, but I can’t guarantee if there are some Giants who became gods, because there’s one thing that really concerns me," the Divine Envoy said.

"What is it?"

"At the time, the Giants’ technological level was so much more advanced than the Dragon Clan’s. The Giants could have easily spared those friendly Dragon Clan members and eliminated all the hostile ones, but why did the Giants always remain on the defensive, and in the end, they left hurriedly... and completely disappeared without a trace?"

"Could it be related to becoming gods?"

"The War of the Gods... that’s probably the only possibility," the Divine Envoy sighed heavily.

"Er, is it my imagination or does it seem like you know a lot more than before?"

"It’s not your imagination, but Little Zi should know why," the Divine Envoy said.

"Little Zi?"

Long Yi looked at Little Zi.

Little Zi was startled, but then said in surprise, "The Divine Envoy consciousness that was suppressed deep in my consciousness is all gone."

The Divine Envoy nodded, saying, "Yes, those were consciousness. I have already taken them back."

"Alright then, do you have any more sensational news to tell me?" Long Yi scratched his head, feeling like he could handle any more shocks from now on.

"As a matter of fact, I do have some, but I don’t plan to tell you. As I just mentioned, these matters are too distant for you, especially the War of the Gods. With a name like that, you should know what it entails, right? And your current strength is to gods what your strength is to a three-year-old child," the Divine Envoy said.

"Then, I have one last question," Long Yi rarely asked very seriously.

"What is it?"

"Do gods truly hate Giants?" Divine Worm Solis had always told Long Yi this, and every Divine Worm that Long Yi encountered said the same thing. Some Divine Envoys said it as well. Now, he decided to seek confirmation from a Divine Envoy.

"Don’t be silly, would you hate your own child?" the Divine Envoy said with a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
