Chapter 506 Antares's Helplessness, He Begins to Answer All Questions
Antares stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief, speechless.
It once boasted of its omniscience, but now it had to admit that Jiang Chen's existence had surpassed its comprehension.
The incredible passive skill, the 100% elemental immunity, and the ability to neutralize corpse poison—each of these shocked Antares.
The reality is undeniable and inescapable.
In the end, Antares could only lower his head helplessly, his voice tinged with a sense of defeat: "Okay, I admit, there are indeed things in the world that I don't know."
"In that case, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me. I will tell you anything I know." Antares's voice was somewhat low, but his words revealed a sense of helplessness.
Jiang Chen looked at Antares, a sense of smugness rising within him. He knew he had successfully piqued Antares's interest, paving the way for his next move.
He smiled slightly and asked his first question: "Do you know what a Derivative Beast is? Or rather, its other name, Derivative Monster!"
"I know, this is it!" Light appeared in front of Antares, the light weaving into the shape of a monster.
It has four legs and a slender body, especially its tail, which is longer than its body.
In Jiang Chen's words, this is a snake with four legs.
Jiang Chen said, "The Dragon Clan discovered a large number of derivative monsters in a secret realm. The Dragon Clan killed them all and built a derivative blood pool to replicate Dragon Clan puppet warriors."
Antares sneered, "I know that. The Derivative Blood Pool is just a high-grade item, and it can only copy level 70 guys at most. It's pretty useless."
"And I can tell you a secret: the dragons are courting death."
Jiang Chen pressed further, "Why do you say that?"
Antares shook his head. "I'll say what I can say, but this is a question I can't answer. Please ask another question."
Jiang Chen didn't insist on Antares's answer; he knew when to stop and maintained a proper balance.
Jiang Chen continued, "Okay, then let me ask another question: why can't I replicate myself?"
Antares casually replied, "It can only replicate lower races."
This time, it was Jiang Chen's turn to be shocked. He hadn't expected this answer.
Seeing Jiang Chen's shocked expression, Antares laughed somewhat nervously.
Finally, we've won back a point!
Antares felt very relieved.
He had already made up his mind to drop the matter here, and no matter how much Jiang Chen asked, he would not answer "halfway".
Jiang Chen suffocated.
Antares thought it had hidden itself well, but the smugness in its eyes betrayed it.
After his initial shock, Jiang Chen didn't ask the question again.
Instead, they started talking about other unimportant things.
This made Antares even more frustrated.
She cursed Jiang Chen countless times in her mind, and when answering questions, she started calling him a "bastard" repeatedly to vent her dissatisfaction.
Jiang Chen didn't mind and just called it by its name.
Two individuals of completely unequal strength are now conversing like friends.
Antares was actually quite curious about Jiang Chen's profession, but out of pride, it was too embarrassed to ask.
Now, through a question-and-answer session, it finally understood some details of Jiang Chen's profession and how Jiang Chen raised his poison element immunity to 100%.
When Jiang Chen presented the complete corpse of the God of Poison to Antares, Antares was once again deeply shocked.
"You little brat, do you know what you're holding?" Antares's voice turned serious, and the aura emanating from him became even more astonishing.
Under his aura, the aura of the God of Poison was firmly sealed, not a single trace leaking out.
This is a complete divine corpse, not scattered bones or broken limbs, but a complete divine body.
The aura it exudes is so powerful that even the mighty Dragon Tower might not be able to completely conceal it.
Jiang Chen calmly said, "This is a complete divine corpse. Through the study and comprehension of it, we can help our human race to give birth to more god-level powerhouses, and also allow existing god-level powerhouses to be promoted."
“I know that its existence should not be easily exposed to outsiders, but since it is now in my hands, it will be known to others one day.”
Antares snorted coldly, "What do you know? Everything you know was told to you by that guy Jiang Yi, wasn't it?"
Jiang Chen nodded in acknowledgment that his initial understanding of deities did indeed come from Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi handed him a piece of the divine finger, he solemnly warned him not to show it to others easily.
Li Xueru and Hong Jishi also took this matter very seriously. However, a severed finger was worlds apart from the complete corpse of the God of Poison.
Moreover, the God of Poison is a mid-level deity, and his value and significance are immeasurable.
Antares continued, "The existence of gods is extremely special; they do not easily leave behind corpses. They are the darlings of heaven and earth, aggregates of elements, representing the ultimate of a certain element. They are very difficult to truly kill, and even in death, they leave behind a glimmer of hope."
"Did you just get incredibly lucky, kid?" Antares looked at Jiang Chen with a strange glint in his eyes, as if he were a miracle.
He had never seen anyone who could obtain a complete corpse of a god.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and did not deny it. "Perhaps so, but I really don't know what the uses of a god's corpse are." His words revealed a hint of frankness; his understanding of a god's corpse was indeed still superficial.
Antares gave a soft hum and began to explain: "Gods, they are the ultimate manifestation of the elements. Do you know what that means?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating his confusion.
Antares continued, "The ultimate manifestation of the elements is the law. You should be able to sense the strong aura of law emanating from this god's corpse."
"Different gods represent different elements, and to improve the elemental skills used by various human professions, one needs a deeper understanding of the laws."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood and finally realized the true value of the god's corpse.
He further inquired, "Since the corpses of gods contain laws, does that mean that any profession can benefit from them?"
Antares nodded. "That's right, similar principles apply. Although there are no professions among humans that directly use poison elements, understanding the laws of poison elements can inspire and improve other related elemental skills."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt a surge of excitement. He understood that the divine corpse and the Law Crystal in his possession would be the hope for the future of humanity.
However, he was not satisfied with this and continued to ask, "Then, what is the use of this electric law divine crystal in my hand?"
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a law-based divine crystal radiating intense electric light appeared in his palm.
Antares glanced at it and said, "The Electric Law Crystal is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for mages who are skilled in electric magic. Its value even exceeds that of a complete set of legendary equipment."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's anticipation grew even stronger. He wanted to know if this Law Crystal could bring him a greater breakthrough. So, he continued, "By the way, do you know how I obtained this Electric Law Crystal?"
Antares shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know.
Jiang Chen then recounted his experience of encountering the God of Thunder in a certain secret realm.
After listening to Jiang Chen's account, Antares couldn't help but sigh, "That god of thunder was too foolish. I advised it not to go, but it went anyway without hesitation, and ended up like this."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt a surge of emotion. He understood that emotions were unavoidable for both gods and mortals. And for the sake of emotions, people often paid a heavy price.
"They clearly have the opportunity to be reborn, yet they insist on clinging to that last shred of their true selves. These gods are so stubborn that it's beyond words!" Antares's voice revealed a hint of helplessness.
It turned out they not only knew each other, but also had a good relationship. Jiang Chen was about to ask more questions when Antares interrupted him, "Don't ask anymore. Even if you ask, I won't tell you anything more."
As it spoke, a beam of light shot from its eyes, instantly enveloping the corpse of the God of Poison. The previously rampant divine aura weakened considerably under the illumination of this light.
Antares explained, "I have sealed its aura. Don't take it out casually again. The human race is not as peaceful as you think."
Jiang Chen collected the corpse of the God of Poison, his heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Antares."
Antares scoffed, a hint of disdain in his voice. "No need to thank me. It's just a transaction between us. Any questions?"
The two had been chatting for most of the day, and Antares thought Jiang Chen had already asked all his questions.
However, Jiang Chen spoke again, "There's one more question, about the Divine Dragon Ancient City."
"I entered the Ancient Tower and saw some scenes," Jiang Chen began to describe what he saw.
Antares shook his head after hearing this. "I know the ancient city exists, but its history is older than mine, so I don't know its past."
This was also the first time Antares had voluntarily admitted that he was not omniscient.
Jiang Chen never expected that the history of the Divine Dragon Ancient City was even longer than that of Antares. This was completely beyond his expectations.
He couldn't help but feel a deeper respect for the ancient city, feeling that it must be hiding extraordinary secrets.
