Chapter 768: Chapter 758: Gods of the Three Realms

The man in the black robe’s crude demonstration of strength dispelled Wen Wen’s doubts.

With such a disparity in strength, there was no need for the man in the black robe to deceive him.

Seeing Wen Wen surrender, the man in the black robe withdrew the sharp sword. Originally, he had intended to have a thorough conversation with Wen Wen, but now, disrupted by Wen Wen’s actions, he lost the mood to chat.

"I have no reason to target you, I just wanted to discuss a few things with you."

"Mhm, please speak, I’m listening."

Wen Wen sat on the floor, looking very well-behaved, a stark contrast to his initial arrogant demeanor.

"Firstly, the crescent mark on your hand comes from an old friend of mine, so I hope you can show her some respect."

"Although she probably doesn’t remember me, if by any chance she does, tell her..."

"I’m already dead."

Wen Wen scratched his head, realizing the breathtaking woman under the moon was this man’s old lover.

No wonder he had never seen her before, yet there was an eerie sense of familiarity and an odd emotion. This must all be the influence of the energy within his body.

But what exactly had happened back then to make that woman completely forget this man in the black robe, and yet still feel an instinctive sensation?

Could this man be some sort of heartbreaker, the kind who mercilessly cuts off relationships?

The man in the black robe, unaware of the unpleasant things running through Wen Wen’s mind, extended a second finger and said, "The second thing, originally your strength was insufficient, so I kept this item for you temporarily, but now I can return it to you."

He tossed a red sphere to Wen Wen, which seemed to contain a constantly screaming voice. After catching the sphere, Wen Wen even considered throwing it away.

The thing inside the sphere was like a collection of all negative emotions, somewhat similar to but more extreme and terrifying than Wen Wen’s uncontrollable moments.

"This sphere contains your original abilities, including the sealed remnants of a singer from the Nameless King’s palace..."

"Do not try to reintegrate it with yourself; you cannot withstand the contamination from the Nameless King."

Nameless King...

Wen Wen furrowed his brows; the name itself sounded dangerous. He stretched out the sphere toward the man in the black robe.

"Since this thing is so dangerous, you better keep it. It’s too hot for me to handle."

The man in the black robe shook his head and said, "I can’t keep this item for you forever. Ultimately, you must deal with this power yourself."

"You’ve been to the spring on the whale’s back, so you should have another set of memories. Find a sufficiently strong body, inject those memories and this power into that body, and create a split identity of yourself. Only by doing so can you resolve the troubles this thing could cause."

Wen Wen asked in confusion, "A split identity?"

"What I refer to as a split identity is another you that possesses an independent system of abilities and self-awareness."

"Only such an entity can contain what is in this sphere; otherwise, this thing will always be in your body, like a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any moment."

Wen Wen still wanted to ask more, but the Man in Black Robe raised his third finger.

"The third thing is a piece of advice."

"Your strength has increased, and you’ve gained access to more things, but you must never think that the Sanctuary is omnipotent, basically, it’s just a more powerful tool."

"Before you step into the Catastrophe Level, a Spiritual Realm God such as Cicada Ancestor is the limit of what you can provoke. Do not attempt to scheme against higher levels."

"Especially those eight Supreme Overlords, their mere existence has a significant meaning to the world. Your life’s level is not enough, even if I told you everything, you would still not understand their existence."

Wen Wen raised his hand, "Let’s not talk about the Supreme Overlords, what exactly is a Spiritual Realm God?"

He obviously knew the Sanctuary had its limits. Previously, in the territory of the ’Master of Dead Silence and Empty Underworld,’ the Sanctuary dared not show its head.

Moreover, Wen Wen had heard from Jin Kela that a thousand years ago, the Sanctuary had ultimately been paralyzed because it tried to contain an existence above the Catastrophe Level.

Nonetheless, the Man in Black Robe’s words still served as a warning to Wen Wen, who indeed had been too reckless at times, relying on the Sanctuary.

But now, Wen Wen was more curious about what the Man in Black Robe spoke of as the Star Realm Gods.

Jin Kela had said that the Calamity Level was merely a term used by humans who could not understand the existences above Catastrophe Level, a general term for all monsters beyond that level. So, were the Star Realm Gods a level name above Catastrophe Level?

The Man in Black Robe hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Wen Wen, "After reaching Catastrophe Level, you have already transcended lower life forms. Those of Catastrophe Level who choose to take the path of deities, depending on the levels and amount of their divine power, can be classified into Star Realm Gods, Spiritual Realm Gods, and heavenly gods."

"The so-called Star Realm Gods are those limited to one planet, unable to traverse to other worlds with their own power. Most of the Catastrophe Level beings in the Hunters Association, if they have divinity, are Star Realm Gods. Such Star Realm Gods are generally referred to as false gods in the Inner World."

"While Spiritual Realm Gods have escaped the confines of the planets and can travel to other worlds on their own divine strength. The Cicada Ancestor that you absorbed is one such Spiritual Realm God, and there is also a Spiritual Realm God on Hunter Island. In the Inner World, Spiritual Realm Gods are generally also referred to as True Gods."

"This time, you managed to scheme against Cicada Ancestor only because of a series of coincidences that enabled you to succeed. Its real strength did not even show one-tenth of its potential, so don’t be overly careless because of this."

"Unless commanded by the Supreme Overlords, heavenly gods are the actual administrators of the Inner World, and you could also refer to them as true gods. What they can achieve, you cannot even imagine."

Wen Wen stretched out his hand and asked, "So can they overturn the Supreme Overlords?"

Man in Black Robe: "If you continue to argue with me, I will feed you seafood porridge and then kill you."

"Just a bit more talking, isn’t that a bit too harsh?"

Wen Wen quickly resumed his polite sitting posture, but after a few seconds, he raised his hand again and said, "Then if someone hasn’t reached Catastrophe Level, but still has divinity..."

"You’re talking about Bai Du, he can be considered a Divine Being, capable of exercising some powers of the Star Realm Gods. He’s dangerous for you as you are now, but you have already opened the Catastrophe Zone, so you need not worry too much."

After talking about Divine Beings, the Man in Black Robe looked at Wen Wen with a complex expression, "That’s enough for this conversation. You might not believe it, but I sincerely hope that you can become stronger, strong enough to stand on your own."

"The next time we meet, I hope we can still have a good chat like this."

"Wait a minute, who exactly are you..."

Before Wen Wen could finish his sentence, everything went dark before his eyes. When he opened them again, he was already standing on the staircase, which was still ascending slowly.

The location of the staircase matched the moment when Wen Wen’s vision had blacked out; either the staircase had stopped moving at that moment, or the conversation between Wen Wen and the Man in Black Robe had only occurred in an instant.
