Chapter 504: You Haven't Passed My Test Yet

Antares was still in a daze, blinking repeatedly, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.

Lin Moyu said, "Now you've seen it. My skeletons can be cured of corpse poison."

Antares was speechless. He had always believed that corpse poison was incurable, but Lin Moyu had just proven him wrong.

"How... how is this possible?" Antares asked in disbelief.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "I'll tell you later. First, let's confirm if you were wrong about corpse poison being incurable."

Antares was silent for a long time before finally nodding, "Yes, I was wrong."

Lin Moyu continued, "During our first trade, I asked you if there was a way to cure corpse poison, and you said it was incurable. But now I've proven that it can be cured."

"So, you were wrong back then."

Antares was stunned. He had always believed that he knew everything in this world, but Lin Moyu had just proven him wrong.

After a long silence, Antares finally lowered his head and said, "Okay, I admit there are things in this world that I don't know."

"Since that's the case, from now on, if you have any questions, you can ask me, and I'll answer them as best as I can."

Antares lowered his head even further, looking dejected.

Lin Moyu smiled, "I have a lot of questions, so you better prepare yourself."

"Ask away, we can just chat!" Antares had given up resisting, looking at Lin Moyu as if he were some kind of freak.

Lin Moyu asked his first question, "Do you know about derivative creatures?"

"I do, it's this thing!" A light appeared in front of Antares, forming the shape of a strange creature.

It had four legs, a long slender body, and a tail even longer than its body.

As Lin Moyu described, it looked like a snake with four legs.

Lin Moyu said, "The Dragon Clan discovered a large number of derivative creatures in a secret realm. They killed all of them and built a derivative blood pool to replicate Dragon Clan puppet warriors."

Antares let out a cold laugh, "I know about that. The derivative blood pool is just an advanced version, and it can only replicate beings up to level 70. It's not very useful."

"And I can tell you a secret, the Dragon Clan is looking for trouble by doing this."

Lin Moyu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Antares shook his head, "I can say what I can say, but this question falls under what I cannot say. Ask me something else."

Lin Moyu didn't insist on getting an answer, knowing when to let things go.

He asked another question, "Okay, then why couldn't I replicate myself?"

Antares casually answered, "It can only replicate lower beings."

This time, it was Lin Moyu who was shocked.

He never expected such an answer.

Seeing Lin Moyu's shocked expression, Antares laughed maniacally, finally able to get one over on him.

Antares felt relieved.

He had decided to stop there, refusing to answer any more questions from Lin Moyu on this topic, no matter how much he asked.

After the initial shock, Lin Moyu didn't pursue the question further.

Instead, he started talking about other unrelated topics.

This time, it was Antares who became puzzled.

He cursed Lin Moyu countless times in his heart, and whenever he answered a question, he would call Lin Moyu a "little brat" to vent his frustration.

But Lin Moyu didn't mind, directly calling Antares by his name.

Two beings of completely unequal strength were now conversing like friends.

Antares was actually very curious about Lin Moyu's profession, but his pride prevented him from asking.

Now, through this back-and-forth exchange, he finally understood some of the details of Lin Moyu's profession and how he had achieved 100% poison element immunity.

When Lin Moyu took out the corpse of the Poison God and placed it in front of Antares, Antares was shocked again.

"You little brat, do you know what you've obtained?" Antares' tone became serious, and an astonishing aura emanated from his body.

Even in the presence of Antares' aura, the Poison God's aura did not spread outward.

This was a complete divine corpse, not just a bone or a limb.

Its aura alone, even the Divine Tower of Shenxia might not be able to conceal it.

Lin Moyu said, "A complete divine corpse. Through comprehension and research, it can help our human race produce more divine-level experts and allow our existing divine-level experts to advance further."

"I know I shouldn't let others know about its existence, but since it's in my possession, there will come a day when I have to reveal it."

Antares snorted, "You don't know anything. Everything you know was told to you by that guy Jiang Yi."

Lin Moyu nodded. His initial understanding of divine beings came from Jiang Yi.

When Jiang Yi gave him a divine finger bone, he had solemnly instructed him not to show it to anyone.

Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan also attached great importance to it.

But a mere finger bone could not compare to the complete corpse of the Poison God.

Moreover, the Poison God was a mid-level deity, equivalent to a level 93 to 95 Demon King, even surpassing elite Demon Kings.

It's hard to imagine how potent its poison was.

Antares said, "Divine beings generally don't leave behind corpses. They are the darlings of a realm, the embodiment of elements, the ultimate manifestation of a certain element."

"It's very difficult for them to die, and even if they do, they would leave behind a sliver of life force."

"Occasionally obtaining a divine limb is already considered extremely lucky. For you to obtain a complete divine corpse, I suspect you might be the illegitimate son of the heavens."

Antares' gaze became strange, looking at Lin Moyu as if he were a monster.

He had never seen anyone obtain a complete divine corpse before.

Lin Moyu laughed, "Let's just say I am. What exactly is the use of a divine corpse?"

Antares said, "Didn't I say? Divine beings are the ultimate manifestation of elements, which represents what?"

"You don't understand?" Lin Moyu bluntly said, "I don't understand!"

He was telling the truth. He hadn't reached that level of understanding yet.

In any era of human education, knowledge is imparted in a gradual and progressive manner. Only at specific levels can one access certain knowledge.

Knowing too much too early is not beneficial.

Antares said, "The ultimate manifestation of elements is the laws. You should be able to sense the aura of laws emanating from it."

"All divine beings possess the aura of laws to some extent, and the Poison God, being a mid-level deity, has a more obvious aura of laws."

"The Fire God, being a lower-level deity, would have a weaker aura of laws."

"This is why divine corpses are so precious. Through comprehension and research of the laws contained within, your human race's divine-level experts can rapidly advance."

Antares was very generous in explaining all of this to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu finally understood the true value of a divine corpse.

Different divine beings represent different elements.

All professions in the human race have corresponding elemental skills, and to advance, they need to deepen their comprehension of the laws.

Lin Moyu understood the importance of a divine corpse, but he had a new question, "But as far as I know, there are no professions in the human race that use poison elemental skills."

Antares let out a light snort, "Don't you understand analogies?"

Then, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunderous roars, an aura even more powerful than the Poison God's corpse emerged.

Lin Moyu took out the Electric Law Crystal.

Antares only glanced at it and said, "Of course a Law Crystal is useful. For those proficient in lightning skills, this Electric Law Crystal is priceless. Even a full set of legendary equipment pales in comparison 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, "That woman was so foolish. I told her not to go, but she insisted, and ended up dying."

"She had a chance to revive, but she stubbornly clung to her true self, her divine soul. Divine beings are all stubborn fools!"

It seemed that Antares and the Lightning God knew each other, and their relationship wasn't bad.

Lin Moyu wanted to ask more, but Antares interrupted him, "Don't ask anymore, I won't tell you!"

As he spoke, a beam of light shot out from his eyes and landed on the Poison God's corpse.

The previously unrestrained divine aura immediately weakened.

Antares said, "I've sealed its aura. Don't take it out carelessly, as things aren't as peaceful within your human race as you think."

Lin Moyu put the Poison God's corpse away and sincerely said, "Thank you!"

Antares let out a light snort, sounding displeased, "You're welcome! Any other questions?"

The two had been chatting for half a day, and Antares thought Lin Moyu had asked all his questions.

But to his surprise, Lin Moyu said, "Yes, one more, about the Shenxia Ancient City."

"I entered the Ancient Thunder Tower and saw some scenes."

He recounted the scenes he had witnessed.

Antares shook his head, "I know of the ancient city's existence, but its history predates mine, so I don't know its past."

This was the first time Antares actively admitted that there were things he didn't know.

Lin Moyu didn't expect the Shenxia Ancient City's history to predate even Antares.

This was beyond his expectations.

Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel reverence, feeling that the ancient city's origins must be extraordinary!
