CHAPTER 816 THE EXPLANATION OF GOD CHARACTER
Over the next month, everyone stayed and recuperated at the Water Kylin Clan. During this time, as
nothing special happened, time was peaceful.
Even the Fire Kylin seemed to have disappeared.
However, all the members of the Water Kylin Clan were uneasy. They were afraid that their clan would
be exterminated when the Fire Kylin returned.
Darren took this time to visit the old turtle man.
"Sir, why hasn't the Water Kylin returned yet?"
A month ago, the Water Kylin entered the territory for inheritance. Since he hadn't returned, no one
knew whether he had succeeded or failed.
"Wait patiently. It's not easy to obtain the inheritance of the Water Soul Crystal. It could take him
anywhere between three years to a few decades."
For generations now, every member of the Water Kylin Clan, whose bloodline was superior, had
participated in the Water Soul Crystal compatibility test. However, no one had succeeded in tens of
thousands of years.
"The Fire Soul Crystal of the Kylin's first ancestor is terrifying and much stronger than the Demonic
Crystal I have seen before," Darren stated.
Darren remembered the scene when the fiery red crystal suppressed the monkey.
The aura had astounded him more than the crystals condensed by his avatar and the Roc Demon
Emperor.
"The Kylin's first ancestor was a legendary beast from outer space. The crystal he condensed is close
to the God Character, which is stronger than objects of the same type condensed by other holy
emperors," the old turtle man explained.
The name, God Character, piqued Darren's curiosity.
"Sir, can you please tell me more about the God Character? And how did you learn about it?" Darren
asked immediately.
"Do you remember when I told you about the senior holy warrior from ancient times?"
"Of course, I do." Darren nodded.
"That senior holy warrior had been in hiding for millions of years. When he re-emerged, the first
creature he saw in this world was me. At that time, he was happy and spoke with me for a long time.
He mentioned the God Character during one of our conversations.
He told me that the holy emperor was supreme in this continent, but was very weak in outer space as
what they condensed was only a Fake God Character. The Fake God Character can never upgrade to
the Genuine God Character," the old turtle man explained.
"Did you mean that kind of hexahedral crystal is called the Fake God Character?" Darren was
surprised.
"Yes, you can say that. However, there are great differences among these hexahedral crystals, which
are generally referred to as the Fake God Character. For example, the hexahedral crystals condensed
by human rule cultivators are called Immortal Crystals, and those condensed by demonic monsters are
called Demonic Crystals. In fact, all of these can be called Fake God Character," the old turtle man
continued to explain.
Darren sighed after hearing the old turtle man's explanation. The old turtle man was so knowledgeable,
and Darren wondered if he would ever be as wise or as learned as him.
"God Character... Does it mean that creatures who possess such a crystal are eligible to become a
god?" Darren asked excitedly.
However, this time the old turtle man shook his head and said, "I'm not sure I can answer that question.
After all, the senior I met was only a senior holy warrior, and he did not know everything."
"Got it." Darren nodded.
In the following days, Darren became restless.
No matter which cultivation way a person chose, it seemed to be endless. What on earth could one do
to become the strongest man? Darren's frustration stemmed from being unable to answer this question
that plagued him.
And the more he thought about it, the more Darren's mind fluttered, as if he had entered a deep void.
Nothing existed at the end of the darkness. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Where the hell are they?"
Darren spent a lot of time asking himself how the powerful people from outer space looked and how
they survived.
The more he thought about it, the dizzier he became. Eventually, he felt a dull pain.
"Phew!" Darren released a long sigh and said, "I cannot figure out these questions by myself. But one
thing is clear—ability seems to be the key. The more powerful you are, the closer you can get to
something that others can't obtain."
Since he could not find answers to his many questions, Darren chose not to think anymore. Instead, he
began to immerse himself in his cultivation.
Soon, strong spiritual energy poured into Darren's body.
At the same time, he began assimilating the ancient spiritual crystals, which led to a slow increase in
his cultivation base.
One day, after three months, a huge turmoil occurred, and Darren woke from his meditation.
He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. Even though several houses blocked his view, Darren's
gaze seemed to cut through these as he peered at the sky.
A huge light golden shadow appeared in the air.
The shadow closed his eyes and placed a hand on his chest. Then, he positioned the other hand on his
legs.
The shadow reminded Darren of the bald man he had seen when he last visited Fris, the village head.
But this time, the shadow that appeared in the air, with long hair that fluttered in the breeze, was none
other than Finley.
Darren sensed a peaceful and tranquil aura from Finley.
But when he tried to use his spiritual sense to probe the shadow, Finley exuded an irresistible and
majestic aura.
Darren grinned before vanishing from his meditation spot.
"Finley, have you grasped that skill?"
By now, they were inside a cave. A soft light covered Finley, which made him appear different from
before.
Finley opened his eyes. His every move made Darren feel comfortable and peaceful.
"I have just begun learning the scripture. Now, I find that the Heart Sutra of Prajna is profound and
marvelous. It has eighteen different levels of heart channels. Although I have just reached the third
level, I already felt something very mysterious," Finley praised.
"What about your cultivation base? Has it improved as well?" Darren asked hurriedly.
"I am still confused about that. This cultivation method seems to be aimed at a specific creature."
"What do you mean?" Darren asked as confusion coursed through him.
"I don't understand either. Would you like to fight me? I have a theory that I'd like to test," Finley asked.
"Okay. Let's go somewhere where we won't hurt anyone."
Darren and Finley flew into the void.
"What kind of attack would you like me to use?" Darren asked Finley as they were preparing.
"It's up to you."
"Then, be ready!"
Darren shouted just as his blade and sword intents rushed out.
Finley sat still in the void, with his legs crossed. He seemed unperturbed by the incoming attacks.
He placed one palm on his chest and made a special gesture with the other hand. Then, he pushed his
chest-facing palm outward slowly, pointing it at Darren.
Bang!
Darren was rendered speechless when he saw that his sword and blade intents hit Finley's body.
"What the fuck?"
Finley couldn't help but curse. He had been so confident of being able to defend against Darren's
attack, and yet, he had failed.
Darren couldn't help but laugh. Finley appeared so graceful and elegant earlier that Darren had thought
that Finley was different. But his curse showed Darren that he was wrong.
"What a useless move! Why didn't it attack you?" Finley asked as anger filled him.
"Wait a minute! I think I understand what happened!" Then Finley suddenly thought of something and
said, "Darren, please attack me as if I was the Fire Kylin or the monkey. Make sure you believe that I
was like them."
"What do you mean? I'm not sure I understand," Darren asked, puzzled by Finley's odd request.
"Just do as I ask, please. We'll see what happens."
"All right."
Darren closed his eyes and pictured the Fire Kylin in his mind.
After a little while, the image in his mind began to change. The Fire Kylin did not show up as he had
hoped. Instead, an astoundingly beautiful woman with a cold aura appeared.
"Kill!"
Darren screamed as fury overwhelmed him. The memory of the woman and what she had done to Elsa
magnified his fiendish nature.
