Chapter 402: Fire God Cult and Water Moon Cult
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect only regained consciousness after being wrapped in the slime of the Vine Insect King.
However--
It's too late.
"What's going on? What is this? Why can't I move?!"
"It's a trap! We've fallen for it! Ugh..."
Because they opened their mouths to shout, the mucus that was originally wrapped around everyone's bodies flowed into the mouths of everyone who spoke, until it blocked their throats.
boom!
After the Vine Worm King swallowed the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, the bark-like substance wrapped around its body began to crack and peel off.
From above Nanran's head, the "dead insect skin" peeled off from the body of the vine insect king fell down, choking her badly.
She was about to flee from here, but after seeing the scene clearly, she felt at a loss as to where to go.
I could only stop and look at the disgusting scene in front of me.
"Is it, is it cannibalizing its own kind? Are those insect skins falling off its body actually the corpses of those vine insects outside?"
this--
This is too disgusting!
Nan Ran felt uncomfortable and his stomach was churning.
"Um."
The big white dog said in a heavy voice: "If it wants to advance, it needs a lot of cultivation, but it is difficult to achieve this by itself."
"At least not for a short time."
"The people behind it wouldn't allow it to escalate so slowly."
The more Nan Ran looked at what was happening before her, the more her scalp tingled.
"Where on earth did they find such disgusting bugs?"
“It shouldn’t be found…”
Nan Shu's voice sank slightly: "It was created."
"Created?"
She pointed to the twisted, dead vine worms on the ground and said, "Are you saying that this thing was cultivated through human intervention?"
"Nine out of ten."
Nan Shu's face was heavy. "Before, this kind of insect had never appeared on the Myriad Beasts Continent, but we can roughly see the characteristic traces of more than a dozen kinds of demon beasts on this insect!"
"Ah? More than a dozen kinds of demonic beasts? Characteristics and traces?"
Nan Ran felt that the confused feeling he had when he was in math class before, as if he was listening to a foreign language, appeared again.
Can't understand.
"To put it simply, they brought together more than a dozen, possibly even dozens or even hundreds of monsters and had them fight each other."
"Then pick out the weakest and the first to be defeated."
"Then bring out those with the best physical qualities and the strongest fighting abilities."
Nan Ran understood this. It was about raising Gu! She had often read about it in novels before.
I can understand.
But soon, Nan Shu's words overturned her cognition.
It made her feel like she was hearing the heavenly book again.
I don't understand it at all.
It was completely different from what she had seen in novels before!
Because Nanshu said—
"They took the strongest insect's hardest part, the part that was least damaged and most immune to injury, and transferred it to the weakest insect to repair its wounds. They also added some medicinal powder to promote healing and growth, allowing it to merge perfectly and survive."
"Then they used the same method to transfer the most powerful weapon, the insect, to the weakest one."
"At the same time, they will also analyze which part of the blood of the strongest bug is most active."
"Then extract this blood, refine it into essence, and feed it to the weakest insect."
"Using this splicing method, they turned the weakest bug into the strongest one!"
"And the once strongest bug has been reduced to a cold corpse. Perhaps it will be used as the first meal for the weakest bug after it recovers."
"Once the weakest bug has completely merged with the most perfect part of the strongest bug's body without any side effects, they will consider the connection a success!"
"Then, they will release the weakest insect, which has now merged with the body and combat power of the strongest insect, back into the other insects to fight."
"If this time, the spliced insect perfectly inherits everything from the strongest insect before—strength, cultivation, physique, and even status—they will take that insect out again and choose the weakest insect. They will then disassemble the spliced insect once again, taking its most perfect and best parts and splicing them back into the weakest insect they just selected."
"If the fusion is still perfect this time, they will continue to do the same thing until only the strongest and the weakest remain in the group of insects."
"If the strongest bug at this time is the one that has been spliced together many times, they will split it up again, take its most essential parts, and transfer them to the remaining weakest bug."
"Although the weakest bug is the one left, from another perspective, this bug is actually the second strongest among them!"
"When this bug, combined with another strongest splicing bug, achieved perfect fusion."
“They still won’t leave it.”
"But—"
"The last perfectly fused insect was transferred to vines, weeds, etc. It didn't develop a high level of intelligence, but was merely a plant-based monster capable of cultivation."
"That's the origin of the vine worm you see before you."
Nan Ran was stunned!
"Is this still possible? But——"
She couldn't understand: "What is their purpose in doing this?"
"Is it just to breed low-intelligence, high-level monsters?"
"Are they planning to start a war, unify the Myriad Beast Continent, and enslave human monks?"
Then the person behind the scenes is probably not a human being, right?
The big white dog shook his head: "They want to use this experiment to affect humans in the future."
"As for unifying the Ten Thousand Beast Continent... No way!"
His voice was firm and powerful: "He is a smart man. He would not make such a stupid decision. Not only would he not do that, but his subordinates would not allow it either."
There is no need to worry too much about this.
"But what they want to do is no less sinful than enslaving human beings."
Nan Ran blinked, and she already had some vague guesses in her mind. After all, she had occasionally seen some panic news in her previous life.
As expected——
“He wants to change the tribe.”
"Use these spliced and bred monsters to eventually affect humans!"
"Use the strongest to support the weakest..."
Nan Shu sneered: "There are always people in this world who are less talented than others, but perhaps they were born into powerful and prestigious families, but fate will not always favor them, giving them a good background and superb talents."
"In fact, being born into such a family already surpasses many talents."
"As long as they work hard and cultivate diligently, and their family has sufficient resources to support them, they can become top-tier experts."
"There are always people in this world who are unwilling to work hard and only want to take shortcuts."
Nan Ran was shocked. "So they came up with this? To transplant the strongest talent into the weakest person, letting them take over? Even if it means sacrificing countless of the strongest talents?"
"That's right."
Nan Shu's face was full of disgust.
"So this disgusting bug in front of us is their experimental subject?"
"Have they succeeded?"
When Nan Ran looked at the Vine Insect King again at this time, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"No."
"It's not a success yet. The real success for them is to splice this disgusting bug into their believer, and then have that believer survive and be used by them."
"believer?"
Nan Shu’s words made Nan Ran confused again.
Could it be that what she had thought before was too simple?
"yes……"
Nan Shu looked at Nan Ran, and suddenly seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Nan Ran thought that this matter involved some secrets of the Myriad Beasts Continent, and it was not good for a small character like her to know about it, so she said very considerately: "If it is not convenient for you to tell me, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."
"I'm not that curious."
She understood that the more you know, the faster you die.
"There's nothing I can't say."
I'm just afraid that she won't be able to accept it.
But soon, Nan Shu laughed at herself again: What could she not accept? She didn't even remember anything now...
Thinking about it, he felt relieved again.
"This should be the work of those guys from the Fire God Cult. Those disgusting things have never had any aesthetic sense, so even the monsters they created are equally disgusting."
Nan Ran raised an eyebrow: "Fire God Cult?"
"Um."
Nan Shu felt a little depressed: "Fire Lord, you know that, right?"
Nan Ran nodded. "I've heard a little about her before. She seems to be the first person on the Myriad Beasts Continent to cultivate a single elemental attribute. She's also the strongest person with the fire attribute, so everyone respectfully calls her the Fire Lord."
This also started a trend of severing one's own meridians to reactivate elemental attribute talents, causing many people who had previously practiced multiple attributes to switch to practicing a single attribute.
At that time, most people practiced the fire attribute.
Nan Shu: …
It seems that she is not wrong.
After all, this is how the various forces and sects in the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts recorded and spread her story.
"That's right."
Nan Shu said with some sarcasm: "The leader of the Fire God Sect is the disciple of Fire Lord! The name of the Fire God Sect also comes from Fire Lord."
His face was full of bad luck, and he looked extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.
"ah?"
Nan Ran was shocked: "So that Fire Lord is actually a bad guy?"
"What bad guy? Don't talk nonsense!"
Nan Shu glared at her angrily, looking very dissatisfied.
Nan Ran immediately pretended to apologize sincerely.
"The Fire Lord is the Fire Lord, and her disciple is her disciple... but he's just a guy who needs to be purged. How can he be compared with her master?"
"They even created this evil sect, the Fire God Cult, to tarnish the reputation of the Fire Lord."
"So, how is he any different from a traitor?"
Nan Shu gritted his teeth, looking as if he wished he could clean up the mess on behalf of Fire Lord.
Nan Ran blinked, a little curious: "You have a good relationship with this Fire Lord? Do you admire her?"
Otherwise, why is he jumping up and down here and getting angry because his apprentice did something bad?
He looked very angry.
"I just feel sorry for Fire Lord." Nan Shu turned his head away proudly and avoided answering Nan Ran's question.
Nan Ran felt that his expression was an admission of guilt.
It's just that this stubborn guy refuses to admit it.
"You're not going to tell me that besides this Fire God Cult, there's another evil sect."
"He was the one who ordered Liu Yi to harm the Beast Taming Sect's disciples and absorb their cultivation?"
Nan Shu looked surprised: "How did you know?"
"I guessed."
Looking at Nan Shu's behavior just now, it is hard not to think that the Fire God Cult actually has a rival.
But they are not the opponents of the righteous path.
Even this rival is likely to be a very beautiful...
As expected——
"Yes, the Water Moon Sect is from the same lineage as the Fire God Sect, but they are different."
Nan Shu looked grumpy.
"The Shuiyue Sect believes in the Water Lord..."
Nan Ran was stunned for a moment and interrupted him, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. The Fire God Cult and the Water Moon Cult are from the same lineage? But the Fire God Cult worships the Fire Lord, while the Water Moon Cult worships the Water Lord—so can I assume that the Water Lord and the Fire Lord are actually the same person?"
Nan Shu: ...
Oops, I let it slip!
What should I do? What should I do!
Seeing Nan Ran's suspicious eyes looking at him, he was really at a loss. Nan Shu was not good at lying, especially not good at lying to "her", so he completely surrendered and told the whole story.
"Indeed."
And—there’s more.
However, since those "more than that" have not been revealed yet, there is really no need to be too frank.
Nan Shu spoke frankly, but he didn't tell everything.
It's not the right time yet.
"So, the leader of the Shuiyue Sect and the leader of the Huoshen Sect are from the same sect? Are they brothers or—are they the same person?"
After Nan Ran asked the question, he had already rejected the following answer in his mind.
If they are the same person, then unless this person has schizophrenia or a second personality, how could one have extremely ugly aesthetics and the other extremely beautiful aesthetics?
Too extreme and contradictory.
It’s hard to imagine that if it were a person, this would be so abstract in daily life.
Or is it a personality that loves beauty during the day and a personality that loves ugliness at night?
So, it seems to make sense?
Nan Shu didn't know what Nan Ran was thinking about. He looked grumpy and said, "They are senior brothers and sisters, and they are also senior brothers and sisters."
"Hmm?" Nan Ran felt like he had heard another math problem that was difficult to understand.
"The leader of the Fire God Cult is the eldest disciple of the Fire Lord."
"The leader of the Shuiyue Sect is Shui Zun's eldest disciple."
"No one knows anymore that the two people are actually the same person. They are each other's senior brother and senior sister."
"later--"
"The Fire Lord and the Water Lord were discovered to be the same person, so they changed their ranking and became senior brother and junior sister."
"Of course, we can also address each other as Senior Sister and Junior Brother."
"They all feel that they are the one that the master values the most and should be the eldest sister/eldest brother."
"They even fought over it for three days and three nights, but couldn't determine the winner."
"Finally, we agreed that on odd-numbered days, we would address each other as senior brother and junior sister, and on even-numbered days, we would address each other as senior sister and junior brother."
Nan Ran: ...
