As Jiang Yuan expected, the God of Light did not refuse, but said, "I know what you want to ask! It's nothing more than who you are, who the God of Death is, and whether he will return?"
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement; he did indeed have this question.
"I can tell you definitively that Death has completely disappeared. You successors are merely those chosen by Death who might become Death themselves! Otherwise, do you really think Death would have experienced so many death trials?" the God of Light said after deep thought.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. The Eye of All Heavens had mentioned the inheritance of the God of Death before, but one person's opinion is bound to be biased. Now that the God of Light said so too, he was no longer worried.
"Actually, I also don't understand why the Grim Reaper would put the legacy into the cycle of reincarnation, because endless death would only constantly erode his divinity. This is a practice that could cause the legacy to disappear completely at any time, but he still did it without hesitation."
The God of Light sighed and said, "It's truly hard to understand."
"Then I have one last question. You didn't die on the last battlefield, did you?" Jiang Yuan's unspoken meaning was actually to ask how they died, but asking directly was too risky, so he asked indirectly.
"Young man, you're quite clever, but I can't answer that question!" The God of Light shook his head and refused Jiang Yuan's question.
Jiang Yuan looked disappointed, but still wanted to try, so he said, "I originally thought I could ask the God of Light for some reward, after all, I also walked across the Bridge of Light on my own, just like you."
The God of Light raised an eyebrow. It was obvious who this guy was referring to. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Why do you want to know this?"
"Of course, it's to prevent problems before they occur. Even gods die, so what is the purpose of my efforts to become a god? Isn't it to transcend all living beings and achieve immortality for all eternity?" Jiang Yuan said very frankly.
"Kid, you really are different! Others come to the Godhood Space thinking about how to obtain a godhood, but you're thinking about how the godhood's master died!" the God of Light said speechlessly.
Jiang Yuan gave an awkward smile.
"Alright, I was going to give you a reward, but since you've said that, I'll replace it with this answer!"
The God of Light did not continue to conceal the truth. He said, "Both the God of Death and I were born in chaos and went through countless hardships to become true gods. However, even the most powerful gods cannot escape the constraints of the battlefield."
"Lord God of Light, may I interrupt you for a moment?" Jiang Yuan knew it was impolite to interrupt someone, but he was genuinely curious, so he continued, "Shouldn't becoming a god on the battlefield be the end? Why can't even gods escape the constraints of the battlefield!"
"end?"
The God of Light chuckled, a laugh not directed at Jiang Yuan, but more like self-mockery. He shook his head and said, "Only people have an end, but the battlefield has no end!"
"Does he mean outside the battlefield or on the battlefield?" Jiang Yuan was secretly alarmed. If there was another battlefield after leaving the Imperial Star, then who was the mastermind behind the battlefield that the War Lord mentioned? And who was the Innate Sacred Body guarding against?
The God of Light's gaze was cold and sharp, as if warning Jiang Yuan not to meddle in other battlefields. He continued to fulfill his promise, saying, "As for the reason for our fall!"
"I had a 300-game winning streak on the battlefield, but in the end I died at the hands of a powerful enemy. As for Death, he chose to perish, and he did so at the peak of his life."
The God of Light spoke vaguely, as if he didn't want Jiang Yuan to know too much.
"That……"
Jiang Yuan was about to ask more questions when the God of Light said, "Boy, your death is imminent. Do you have any good plans?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately became interested. He asked uncertainly, "Do all Death God inheritors die suddenly every time they reach the God Realm?"
“That’s right, it’s practically common sense! In the thousands of battles in which the God of Light has changed hands, those who claim to be reincarnations of the God of Death have all met with bad ends, and none of them have ever lived past the God Realm.” The God of Light looked at Jiang Yuan with amusement, because his realm had already reached the sixth stage of the Dao Heaven Spirit Realm, and his death was not far off. He was very curious to know how Jiang Yuan would avoid this curse.
"Lord God of Light, what are your thoughts?" Jiang Yuan looked at the God of Light expectantly. One should be polite when asking for a favor, especially since the other party was a god, even if he was dead.
"Find an avatar, and when the Heavenly Tribulation kills you, sacrifice the Death God's legacy to preserve your last trace of true spirit within the avatar. From then on, you will live on as the avatar. Although you have lost everything, you can still live a normal life for several decades. It's an incredibly good deal!" The God of Light spoke of ordinary people with a look of longing, as if the life he described was what he should pursue.
"There's another way?"
Jiang Yuan felt this method was very familiar. Wasn't this the same way he had escaped in Nancheng last time? Only the God of Light was more thorough. He only left a trace of his true spirit, and nothing else. Moreover, this absence meant complete disappearance, leaving him with no chance to turn the tables.
"Many death gods who don't want to die reincarnate in this way. Consider it the last contribution that the death god's legacy makes to you successors!" the God of Light sighed. Once a god dies, he is nothing and can only serve as a stepping stone for others.
"This is the safest way. Otherwise, if you really risk your life, it's an understatement to say you'll die nine times out of ten; it'll be more like ten thousand times over!" The God of Light obviously knew about other methods, but he didn't recommend them.
"Phew, looks like I still have to rely on myself!"
The words of the God of Light only strengthened Jiang Yuan's resolve; rather than live a mediocre life, he would rather fight for his future.
"It's time to go, your two little girlfriends are getting impatient!" The God of Light indicated that he wanted to see the guest out.
