Chapter 505: Like Old Friends, Asking and Answering Each Other**
Antares was speechless. Lin Moyu discovered that he really wasn't omniscient. Lin Moyu's nearly unreasonable passive skill, 100% elemental immunity, and the ability to neutralize corpse poison—all of these exceeded Antares' understanding. But the reality was right in front of him, and he couldn't deny it. His pride wouldn't allow him to deny it either.
In the end, Antares had to admit to Lin Moyu, "Alright, I admit there are things in the world that I don't know."
"Since that's the case, you can ask me anything in the future, and I'll answer as much as I can."
Antares' head drooped down again, lying on the ground listlessly. Lin Moyu got what he wanted, "I have a lot of questions, so be prepared."
"Ask away, ask away, let's just chat!" Antares gave up resisting, looking at Lin Moyu as if he were a freak.
Lin Moyu asked his first question, "Do you know about derivative monsters?"
"Yes, I do! They look like this!" Some light appeared in front of Antares, forming the shape of a monster. It had four legs, a long body, and an especially long tail, longer than its body. To Lin Moyu, it looked like a snake with four legs.
Lin Moyu said, "The dragon clan discovered a large number of derivative monsters in a secret realm. They killed them all and built a derivative blood pool to create dragon puppet warlords."
Antares sneered, "I know about that. The derivative blood pool is just a high-level item, capable of creating beings up to level 70 at most. It's not very useful."
"And I can tell you a secret: the dragon clan is courting death."
Lin Moyu asked, "Why do you say that?"
Antares shook his head, "I'll tell you what I can, but this question is off-limits. Ask something else."
Lin Moyu didn't insist on an answer. He knew when to stop and how to maintain a good relationship.
Lin Moyu continued, "Alright, then why can't I self-replicate?"
Antares answered casually, "It can only replicate lower-level species."
This time, it was Lin Moyu's turn to be shocked. He didn't expect such an answer. Seeing Lin Moyu's shocked expression, Antares laughed maniacally, finally feeling like he had won a round. He decided to stop there and not answer any more questions on this topic, no matter how much Lin Moyu asked.
Antares thought he had hidden his feelings well, but his eyes betrayed his satisfaction. Lin Moyu, after his initial shock, didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he started talking about other trivial things. This left Antares puzzled and frustrated, cursing Lin Moyu in his mind. He began calling Lin Moyu a "brat" in every answer, venting his frustration.
Lin Moyu didn't mind and called him by his name directly. Despite the disparity in their power, they conversed like friends. Antares was curious about Lin Moyu's profession but was too proud to ask. Now, through their conversation, he finally understood some details about Lin Moyu's profession and how he achieved 100% poison immunity.
When Lin Moyu took out the corpse of the God of Poison and placed it in front of Antares, Antares was once again shocked. "Brat, do you know what you've got here?" Antares' tone was serious, and his aura was overwhelming. Under his aura, the God of Poison's aura didn't spread.
"This is a complete divine corpse, not just a bone or a limb. Its aura might not even be fully concealed by the Divine Summer Tower," Lin Moyu said.
Antares replied, "You don't understand. You only know what Jiang Yi told you, right?"
Lin Moyu nodded. His initial understanding of divine beings came from Jiang Yi. When Jiang Yi handed him a divine finger, he had sternly instructed him not to show it to anyone. Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan also took it very seriously. But a finger couldn't compare to a complete divine corpse, especially a mid-level god like the God of Poison.
Antares said, "Divine beings usually don't leave corpses. They are the darlings of a realm, the embodiment of elements, the ultimate expression of a particular element. They are hard to kill, and even if they die, they leave a trace of life. Finding a piece of a divine being is already considered lucky. Getting a complete divine corpse is unheard of. I suspect you might be heaven's favorite."
Antares looked at Lin Moyu with a strange expression, as if he were a monster. Lin Moyu laughed, "Let's just say I am. What use does a divine corpse have?"
Antares explained, "I already told you, divine beings are the ultimate expression of elements. That means they embody laws. Can't you feel the strong law aura from it?"
"No, I can't!" Lin Moyu replied firmly. He genuinely didn't understand. He hadn't reached that level of knowledge yet. Human education had a gradual approach, revealing specific knowledge at specific levels.
Antares said, "The ultimate expression of elements is the law. You should feel a strong law aura from it. Divine beings have varying degrees of law aura. The God of Poison, being a mid-level god, has a more pronounced law aura. The God of Fire, being a low-level god, has a weaker law aura. The value of a divine corpse lies in the laws it embodies. By studying these laws, human divine-level experts can quickly improve."
Lin Moyu understood the importance of the divine corpse but had a new question, "But as far as I know, there are no human professions that use poison elements."
Antares snorted, "Don't you understand the concept of analogy?"
"What about this?" Lin Moyu took out an electric law crystal, and a more intense law aura than the God of Poison's corpse emanated from it.
Antares glanced at it, "Law crystals are valuable, especially electric ones. For those proficient in electric magic, this is priceless. Even a full set of legendary equipment can't compare to this small thing."
"How did you find the God of Thunder?" Lin Moyu recounted his experience of finding the God of Thunder. Antares sighed, "That woman was too stubborn. I told her not to go, but she insisted and ended up dead. She had a chance to revive but chose to maintain her true self. Gods are such stubborn fools!"
It turned out they knew each other and had a good relationship. Lin Moyu wanted to ask more, but Antares interrupted, "No more questions. Even if you ask, I won't answer!" He shot a beam of light from his eyes, sealing the God of Poison's aura.
Antares said, "I've sealed its aura. Don't take it out casually. Your human race isn't as peaceful as you think."
Lin Moyu put away the God of Poison's corpse and sincerely said, "Thank you!"
Antares snorted, "You're welcome! Any more questions?"
They had been talking for half a day, and Antares thought Lin Moyu had asked everything he wanted to. But Lin Moyu said, "One more, about the ancient city of Shenxia."
"I entered the ancient thunder tower and saw some scenes." He described what he saw.
Antares shook his head, "I know the ancient city's existence, but its history is older than mine, so I don't know its past."
This was the first time Antares admitted there were things he didn't know. Lin Moyu was surprised to learn that the ancient city's history was older than Antares. This was unexpected. Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence, realizing the ancient city's extraordinary origins.
