Chapter 505: Asking and Answering Like Old Friends
Antares was speechless.
It realized that it truly didnât know everything.
Lin Moyuâs nearly unreasonable passive skills, 100% elemental immunity, ability to neutralize corpse poison - each one exceeded its knowledge.
But the reality was before its eyes, and it couldnât deny it. Its pride wouldnât allow it to deny it either.
Antares finally reluctantly bowed its head to Lin Moyu, "Fine, I admit there are things in the world I donât know."
"Since thatâs the case, you can ask me anything in the future. Iâll tell you what I can."
Antares lowered its head again, lying listlessly on the ground.
This was exactly what Lin Moyu wanted to hear. "I have quite a few questions. Prepare yourself."
"Ask away, letâs just chat!" Antares gave up resisting, looking at Lin Moyu as if he was a freak.
Lin Moyu asked his first question, "Do you know about derivative monsters?"
"I know, itâs this thing!" Some light appeared in front of Antares, weaving into the shape of a monster.
Four legs, a slender body, especially the tail which was longer than the body.
In Lin Moyuâs words, it was a snake with four legs.
Lin Moyu said, "The dragon race found a large number of derivative monsters in a secret realm. They killed them all and built a derivative blood pool to replicate dragon puppet warriors."
Antares sneered, "I know about that. The derivative blood pool is just a high-grade item, it can only replicate up to level 70 creatures. Not very useful."
"And I can tell you a secret - the dragon race is courting death by doing this."
Lin Moyu pressed, "Why do you say that?"
Antares shook its head, "Iâll tell you what I can. This question is something I canât talk about. Ask something else."
Lin Moyu didnât insist on Antares answering. He knew when to stop, firmly grasping the limits.
Lin Moyu continued asking, "Alright, Iâll ask something else. Why canât I replicate myself?"
Antares answered casually, "It can only replicate lower races."
This time it was Lin Moyuâs turn to be shocked.
He didnât expect such an answer.
Seeing Lin Moyuâs shocked expression, Antares laughed somewhat neurotically.
Finally scored a point!
Antares felt very satisfied.
It had decided to stop there on this question. No matter how much Lin Moyu asked, it wouldnât answer further.
Let Lin Moyu stew.
Antares thought it had hidden its intentions well, but the smugness in its eyes betrayed it.
After the initial shock, Lin Moyu didnât continue asking about this question.
Instead, he started talking about other trivial matters.
This made Antares depressed instead.
It cursed Lin Moyu countless times in its heart. When answering questions, it started calling him "little bastard" with every sentence to vent its dissatisfaction.
Lin Moyu didnât mind, and also called it directly by name.
The two individuals of completely unequal strength were now conversing like friends.
Antares was actually very curious about Lin Moyuâs career, but out of pride, it was too embarrassed to ask.
Now with this back-and-forth Q&A, it finally understood some details of Lin Moyuâs career, and learned how Lin Moyu had raised his poison elemental immunity to 100%.
When Lin Moyu took out the Poison Godâs corpse and placed it in front of Antares, Antares was shocked again.
"Little bastard, do you know what youâve obtained?" Antaresâ tone became serious, an astonishing aura emanating from its body.
Under its aura, the Poison Godâs aura didnât spread outwards.
This was a complete god corpse, not just a bone or a limb.
Its aura might not even be concealed by the Divine Summer Tower.
Lin Moyu said, "A complete god corpse. By studying and comprehending it, it can help our human race produce more god-level experts, and allow god-level experts to advance."
"I know I shouldnât let others know of its existence, but since itâs in my possession, there will be a day when I have to take it out."
Antares snorted, "You donât understand shit. What you know is all what that Jiang Yi guy told you, right?"
Lin Moyu nodded. His initial understanding of deities did come from Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi gave him a fragment of a godâs finger back then, he had solemnly instructed not to show it to anyone.
Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan also took it very seriously.
But a finger fragment couldnât compare to the Poison Godâs complete corpse.
Moreover, the Poison God was a mid-tier god.
Antares said, "Gods generally donât leave corpses. They are the darlings of the world, aggregates of elements, the ultimate manifestation of a certain element."
"They are hard to kill, and even if they die, they leave a glimmer of life."
"Occasionally finding a tiny piece of a godâs body is already extremely lucky. For you to get a complete god corpse, I suspect you might be heavenâs illegitimate child."
Antaresâ gaze was a bit strange, looking at Lin Moyu more like a monster.
It had never seen anyone obtain a complete god corpse before.
Lin Moyu chuckled, "Letâs say thatâs the case. What exactly is a god corpse useful for?"
Antares said, "Didnât I say? Gods are the ultimate manifestation of elements. Donât you understand what that means?"
"I donât!" Lin Moyu said firmly and honestly. He really didnât understand.
He hadnât touched on this area yet.
Human education in any era has a gradual progression. Only at specific levels can one learn certain knowledge.
Knowing too early isnât beneficial.
Antares said, "The ultimate manifestation of elements is laws. You should be able to sense the strong aura of laws on it."
"All gods have some aura of laws. The Poison God is a mid-tier god, so the laws are more obvious."
"The Fire God is a low-tier god, so its law aura is much weaker."
"The reason god corpses are treasures is because of the laws contained in their bodies. By comprehending and studying these laws, your human god-level experts can rapidly improve."
Antares was very generous this time, explaining a lot to Lin Moyu.
It made Lin Moyu understand the true purpose of god corpses.
Different gods represent different elements.
Human careers all have corresponding elemental skills. To improve, they need to deepen their understanding of laws.
Lin Moyu understood the importance of god corpses, but had a new question, "But as far as I know, there are no human careers that use poison elemental skills."
Antares snorted lightly, "Donât you understand drawing inferences?"
"What about this then?"
Accompanied by thunder and lightning, an even more powerful aura of laws surged out compared to the Poison Godâs corpse.
Lin Moyu took out the electric law god crystal.
Antares just glanced at it, "Of course law god crystals are useful. And an electric law god crystal is priceless for mages specializing in electricity. Even a full set of legendary equipment canât compare to this little thing."
"By the way, how did you find the Lightning God?"
Lin Moyu recounted how he found the Lightning God.
Antares sighed a bit, "That woman was too foolish. I told her not to go, but she insisted on going. Look what happened, she died."
"She had a chance to revive, but insisted on maintaining her final true spirit. Gods are all stubborn idiots!"
So they knew each other, and seemed to have a decent relationship.
Lin Moyu wanted to ask more, but Antares interrupted him, "Donât ask anymore. I wonât tell you even if you ask!"
As it spoke, a beam of light shot from its eyes, hitting the Poison Godâs corpse.
The previously rampant divine aura immediately weakened.
Antares said, "Iâve sealed its aura. Donât take it out casually in the future. Your human race isnât as peaceful internally as you think."
Lin Moyu put away the Poison Godâs corpse and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Antares snorted lightly, saying grumpily, "Youâre welcome! Any more questions?"
They had been chatting for half a day. Antares thought Lin Moyu had asked everything he wanted to ask.
Unexpectedly, Lin Moyu said, "One more, about the Divine Summer Ancient City."
"I entered the Ancient Thunder Tower and saw some scenes."
He described the scenes he saw.
Antares shook its head, "I know of the Ancient Cityâs existence. Its history predates me, so I donât know its past."
This was the first time Antares actively admitted there were things it didnât know.
Lin Moyu hadnât expected the Divine Summer Ancient Cityâs history to predate Antares.
This was unexpected.
Lin Moyu couldnât help but feel solemn respect. He felt the Ancient Cityâs origins must be extraordinary!
