Chapter 212: A Mysterious Cave, the Source of Divine Rune Power! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The starry sky was vast and boundless.
Gu Changqing's divine sense was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins, roaming in this entire space. Every time it stopped, he could feel an ancient and wild aura.
Countless stars were formed in the dazzling light of the explosion. After reproduction, they would go to extinction in the same magnificent brilliance. He focused on a rotating planet.
Seeing a creature on all fours, the moment it raised its head to pick the fruit, it stood up.
From this moment on, they gained unprecedented intelligence and re-examined their surroundings with a new attitude.
However, in the blink of an eye, the creatures standing at the top of the planet killed each other, and blood flowed like a river. With an explosive sound, their souls were destroyed.
It was as if they had never appeared before, disappearing in the torrent of this planet's history!
Gu Changqing's heart trembled.
This was very similar to what happened on Blue Star.
What was eternal?
In the vast sea of stars, only the endless cycle of life and death was eternal.
Gu Changqing's divine sense continued to wander.
This time, he saw a dark brown mound.
A monkey climbed on a long vine and rolled on top of the mound. Then, as if attracted by something, it stared at a hole.
Gu Changqing saw it pick up a branch. Then, it cried out and poked a hole in the ground.
It beat their chests excitedly and called out to its companions.
The huge colony of ants in the cave did not even know what had happened, and they only gushed out in groups.
They trampled on each other and fled in all directions.
They only knew that there was an evil being who destroyed their home. They wanted to resist and take revenge.
Even with such indignation, they could not find the enemy at all.
What else could they do other than blindly flee in panic?
Gu Changqing felt touched when he saw this.
He sighed softly.
However, his divine sense suddenly roared.
“There is no difference in strength in this world. How can there be a difference between gods and humans? We are not blasphemous to the gods.”
This voice shocked his soul, and the aftershock rippled and reverberated continuously.
Gu Changqing only felt his heart being awed by this, and his divine sense was suddenly forcefully pulled back from the starry sky.
He looked around.
He noticed that the cave's ceiling was flickering with light, but its aura hadn't changed at all.
He couldn't help but think about it carefully. He was sure that he really heard that angry shout.
Chi Shut s gaze had drifted away. Sensing Gu Changqing's body move, he looked over curiously.
“Did you hear anything?” Gu Changqing asked faintly.
When Chi Shu heard that, he was slightly puzzled.
But the next moment, he shook his head seriously. “No, there was no sound in this cave just now.”
Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment and no longer entangled himself with this problem.
No matter where the divine sense came from, at least it did not cause any harm to him. Besides, that wasn't their purpose this time.
Thinking of this, he stepped forward and came to the edge of a large forest of stone pillars.
As far as the eye could see, under the starry dome, countless ancient totem pillars stood majestically.
Around each stone pillar, a dark light lingered, emitting a mysterious and terrifying color.
Not only were there dragons, tigers, and other majestic beasts on the totems, but there were also unknown words that Gu Changqing could not recognize at a glance.
Besides that, the top of the dragon totem pillar was embedded in the cave. Its roots were integrated with the cave, and it did not seem like it could be erected by the power of humans.
The coiling dragon on the totem was vigorous, and its claws were sharp like blades. Its general shape was the same as the dragon that Gu Changqing remembered as the head of all beasts.
In particular, its two eyes emitted a stern aura that had the pressure of a world dominator.
On the tiger pillar that stood at the opposite, the king character mark on the tiger's forehead was very domineering. Its striped body coiled around the stone pillar as its head was looking back. Its sharp teeth were facing Gu Changqing.
Moreover, the tiger's tail that was as thick as a steel whip was raised high, and the dark light around the entire totem pillar complemented it perfectly.
There were also many other stone pillars, and the faint light on them reflected a blurry human figure.
Gu Changqing was shocked, but his face was calm.
“How do you usually communicate with these totems?”
He raised his hand and pointed at the nearest totem stone pillar, looking at Chi Shu.
He was not completely unaware. However, he really wanted to verify if what he thought was true.
Chi Shu did not hesitate. He walked straight to a stone pillar with a giant bear carved on it.
First, he made a gesture with his hands and muttered something, as if he was performing some kind of prayer ceremony.
Immediately after, his body emitted a layer of faint light.
The light grew brighter and brighter.
In the end, it formed the phantom of a giant bear that surrounded his body.
At the same time the ritual was completed, the giant bear opened its mouth wide and let out a roar. It was like a thunderclap rolling across its scalp, and its aura was truly astonishing.
However, Gu Changqing wanted to laugh.
He did sense that there was a divine rune power tightly enveloping Chi Shu.
In the beginning, he had some expectations toward this totem beast's power. However, he didn't expect this huge bear phantom to be so weak!
It was no exaggeration to say that any random Divine Runemaster on Blue Star in the future could easily crush the current Chi Shu to death.
Holding back his laughter, Gu Changqing's thoughts became active.
This bear phantom was very similar to the awakened divine runes on Blue Star. He couldn't help but make a bold guess.
Perhaps, this was how the power of divine runes should have looked like in the beginning. However, with its rapid development from eras after eras, it evolved into the complex phenomenon of the divine rune awakening that the later generations saw.
In addition to the Ehearch Armor and other weapons that were developed later, divine rune power, which was originally not powerful, was developed to the extreme.
Gu Changqing's gaze moved away from Chi Shu. He looked at the totem pillars again and confirmed his judgment.
The origin of divine runes seemed to have a clear clue, in which they were inextricably linked to the totem pillars in front of him.
In other words, the countless totem pillars before him represented the different manifestations of the power of countless divine runes. After all, their powers weren't something that appeared out of nowhere.
Perhaps this was their source.
Chi Shu looked at Gu Changqing in confusion.
This was because he had already displayed his communication divine power as much as possible.
However, Gu Changqing's face didn't seem to be surprised, instead, it showed a trace of suspicion.
Chi Shu wanted to say something, but he didn't know if what he said was what Gu Changqing wanted to know.
He tried his best to maintain the giant bear's phantom and paid attention to Gu Changqing's actions.
The latter narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze carrying a sense of scrutiny. It was as if he was already familiar with everything here.
Finally, Chi Shu did not persist anymore. The giant bear's phantom dissipated not long after.
Seeing this situation, Gu Changqing had no more doubts about his deduction.
This was the source of divine rune power!
