“However, I feel like there’s no difference from before?”
Wen Yu envied the divine beast species, but what he envied was not the title itself but the superior strength that came with it!
If his strength hadn't changed, what was the use of being a divine beast species?
As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, he noticed Victor looking at him with a cold gaze, as if he were an idiot.
“Do you know how the divine beast species comes into being?”
As soon as Victor said this, Wen Yu suddenly realized...
The birth of a star is something that was nurtured in ancient trees for an unknown amount of time—Wen Yu didn’t know the details of this nurturing process, but once a star is “born,” it truly is a divine beast species.
Victor’s birth was a resurrection, empowered by the great force of the Earth.
In this process, both cases were almost instantaneous, with no gradual progression.
Wen Yu's current state, however, was different!
The scattered origin power entered Wen Yu's body, giving him the aura of a divine beast species, yet he lacked the racial talents of a divine beast species.
Victor summarized, “The origin power within your body is insufficient. When you have enough origin power, divine beast species transformation will occur. This process is irreversible and instantaneous, and during the accumulation phase, there won't be any significant increase in strength.”
“So how much origin power do I still lack?”
“...A massive amount... At this rate, ten years? Fifteen years? Anyway, you have time to wait...”
Wen Yu was momentarily speechless.
It made sense; how could the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine absorb enough origin power for Wen Yu to transform into a divine beast species in just a few hours?
In short, for Wen Yu at this moment, this might just be a big pie in the sky!
“However, the fact that this Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine can absorb the Earth’s origin power feels strange...”
Star muttered beside him.
Star’s words were unintentional, but they left Wen Yu and his several spirit pets at a loss for words.
The notion of forcibly plundering the Earth’s origin power to empower oneself sounded perfect, yet the bizarre changes of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine made Wen Yu somewhat wary.
This method of plunder seemed to remind Wen Yu of the tactics used by the demonic clan against the Earth, as Tang Haofei had mentioned.
In the short term, it was beneficial for Wen Yu, but what about the long term?
No one could provide a definitive answer.
“Just use it; you can always throw it away later, right? Besides, having one more divine beast species or one less doesn’t matter on Earth. The Earth won’t care about nurturing a divine beast species's origin power, but you should be cautious. This thing, this newly born soul and its newly awakened abilities, are indeed strange.”
The wisest Victor sensed Wen Yu's thoughts and decisively offered some comfort.
This was also Wen Yu's truest thought—he couldn't pass up the benefits, even if there might be unknown dangers and traps. However, with the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine being the only item with a limit-breaking ability in Wen Yu's possession, he simply could not afford to discard it!
...
“Alright, let’s stop discussing this for now.”
Wen Yu decisively ended the conversation about the divine beast species—compared to his divine beast species transformation and the bizarre changes of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, paying attention to the current situation was the most urgent matter for Wen Yu!
After speaking, Wen Yu ignored the scattered white snow on the ground, directly sat down, called over his three spirit pets, and pointed at the little soul beast on his shoulder, saying, “Let’s have a meeting.”
...
“Here’s the situation.”
Wen Yu briefly explained the current state of affairs.
“So you got lost? That’s simple; I can find our way back by following your scent.”
One-Eyed decisively declared his function.
“I want to go back too.”
