Chapter 574: Chapter 330: Setting Off and Abnormal Fluctuations
In the time that followed,
Chen Sheng continuously asked the questions he wanted to know.
Most of his questions were answered smoothly.
However, a small portion remained unanswered, seemingly because they involved critical information that Chi couldn’t disclose.
About this, Chen Sheng did not press.
Because whenever Chi spoke about crucial information, the wave of power surging in his mind could even be perceived by him.
Every additional word spoken would make the power surge more violently, seeming as if it might burst Chi’s mind at any moment.
Chen Sheng also tried to absorb those powers by using the power of the Seven Demon Holy Scripture.
Unfortunately,
Neither the ability of Gluttony, which could devour everything, nor Greed, which could steal power for its own use
Responded to this power.
As for this,
Chen Sheng was not surprised.
From Chi’s previous explanation, the Heavenly People who were born on this planet with Homo sapiens have long since become existent in name only.
The entities now remaining on this planet are some kind of new life forms constituted by the power of the “Supreme Demon.”
The Seven Demon Holy Scripture, at present, seems extraordinarily powerful.
But it was ultimately created by humans.
In the face of such beings that can traverse space and time, it is normal for their power to fall short.
Having failed in his attempts, Chen Sheng had no choice but to ask indirectly, attempting to circumvent the power limitations in Chi’s mind.
“You mentioned earlier that there seem to be class distinctions among the Heavenly People?”
“Correct.”
Facing another query from Chen Sheng, Chi spoke leisurely.
According to him,
There are indeed class divisions among the Heavenly People.
Distinguished as First Generation Heavenly People, Second Generation Heavenly People, and Third Generation Heavenly People.
This three-tier hierarchy wasn’t much intricate.
Tens of thousands of years ago, those who were blessed to face the Supreme Being in front of the Divine Statue were considered First Generation Heavenly People.
Their soul and body were transformed by the Divine Statue on the spot. Their power was the strongest, even able to directly influence the lower Heavenly People.
As for the Second Generation Heavenly People, they were akin to Chi, Heavenly People whose souls were summoned.
In the process of the First Generation Heavenly People’s transformation, the so-called heavenly bloodline had already become the shape of the Supreme Demon.
Even though they were merely observing this dramatic change via their soul bodies.
The power of the Supreme Demon was irrespective of space, taking effect directly from the root of the bloodline.
That’s why,
Although only dozens of Heavenly People worshipped the statue, it led to the transformation of the entire Heavenly Race.
However,
Because they were only indirectly affected.
The power of the Second Generation Heavenly People was much weaker than that of the First Generation Heavenly People, and to some extent, they were even restrained by the First Generation Heavenly People.
The lowest level is the Third Generation Heavenly People.
At the point of the Heavenly Race’s transformation, there were already Heavenly People like Chi who had joined Human tribes and had offsprings with them.
The descendants who inherited the Heavenly bloodline.
Needed to endure the devouring power of the Supreme Demon or undergo transformation by the First Generation Heavenly People.
Only then they could possess a power far weaker than that of pure Heavenly People.
As for the Heavenly Human Descendants of this era, they haven’t even been included among the ranks of the Heavenly People.
As their bloodline dilutes with each successive generation, they can’t bring out much power anymore.
Even the power of the Supreme Demon is so weak as to be almost invisible.
This has allowed the current Heavenly Human Descendants to live for thirty to forty years even while undergoing the devouring process.
Red Mist belonged to the Third Generation Heavenly People.
Because of their low power, they awakened earlier than others.
However, Chi was not clear about why the other party wanted to seize his body and how they managed to control it.
“Just relying on the power of the Third Generation Heavenly People, logically it wouldn’t be possible to do this.”
“Maybe it has something to do with the First Generation Heavenly People.”
When talking about this,
Chi, whose body had recovered halfway in a short time, stroked his chin, wearing a thoughtful expression.
“Oh?”
Hearing this.
Chen Sheng’s eyebrows raised.
From Chi’s words, he noticed other pieces of information.
“You are far from your peak period now?”
“Correct.”
Chi replied without hesitation.
“The authority of the First Generation Heavenly People is profound.”
“They can refine bloodlines, enhance power, and even control the body and mind of people like us, the Second Generation Heavenly People, to a certain extent.”
“During the last Awakening, because I often sided with the humans, the First Generation Heavenly People drew power from me many times.”
“This also resulted in a significant depletion of my strength.”
Speaking up to this point.
Looking at the somewhat serious expression on Chen Sheng’s face.
Chi laughed heartily.
“My young friend, you can rest easy.”
“Although my current strength is just a tenth of what it once was, the praise I gave you earlier was heartfelt.”
“Even at my full strength, we would be evenly matched.”
“Compared to humans, you are the strongest I have ever seen, without exception.”
Chen Sheng’s mood didn’t ease up due to Chi’s flattery.
Previously, when he had punched Chi to death, his power was released to about 70 million.
Compared to the full strength of 130 million, of course, it was vastly inferior.
But if what Chi said was correct.
Wouldn’t that mean, even if he unleashed a power of 130 million, he might still not be a match for the First Generation Heavenly People?
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng frowned.
He felt a sense of annoyance.
What he wants is not merely victory.
But domination.
But now, he might not be able to achieve either.
“However, as I said earlier, young friend.”
“Your strength is indeed powerful.”
“But I’m afraid it might not be up to the mark of a First Generation Heavenly Person—”
On this side,
Despite his body was blown apart by Chen Sheng and has not fully recovered yet.
