Chapter 205: Divine Character Rejection (1)
First Fusion Hall.
Su Yu was reading an Infinite Strength cultivation method of the devil scorpion race. That was a minor cultivation method of their race, aimed to help increase the sharpness of their tails.
It was slightly similar to the body strengthening methods of the other races. Su Yu had not been given the chance to read too many different cultivation methods before so he was very engrossed in his reading.
Although each race would have different acupoints, it was always possible to comprehend by analogy. It would still be beneficial for him to learn more about the cultivation methods of the other races.
Su Yu was being pulled deeper and deeper into the text. He had great focus when reading and he never stopped analyzing what he read. At the same time, he would draw parallels between his cultivation and what he read instead of just skimming through the text.
Before he knew it, half an hour passed. He had exhausted quite a lot of willpower. At that moment, he suddenly sensed the appearance of a new Divine Character. He was overjoyed and relieved.
Bai Feng had been worried that he would have terrible talent in myriad race Divine Characters. But he had finally proven that a genius would always be a genius. He could rapidly form myriad race Divine Characters as well.
In his sea of willpower, a devil scorpion character was slowly taking form.
An eager miniature Su Yu appeared. It was time for him to tame yet another Divine Character! Now that he was already at the Mental Tempering Stage, taming new Divine Characters should be even easier than before.
This was a strong character of the devil scorpion race. Strong, a character related to strengthening. Su Yu was confident it would be quite a useful Divine Character. Just as he was getting ready for a fight, the three Divine Characters in the tiny saber suddenly stirred. Then, they controlled the saber and made it fly forward.
Bang!
Su Yu only heard a loud boom in his head. Next, he was stupefied. The strong character had been destroyed by the saber. The blood character hurriedly absorbed the willpower left behind by the destroyed character. Even the lightning character was flickering endlessly.
"What is going on?"
Su Yu\'s face turned solemn.
After that incident with his golden book, even his Divine Characters seemed to have gone out of control. His newly formed Divine Character had been destroyed by them.
"Have the Divine Characters gained sentience?"
He had been suspecting that his golden book was actually sentient. But now, he was starting to suspect that even his Divine Characters were sentient. That wasn\'t supposed to be possible!
Su Yu tried controlling the three Divine Characters again. Everything felt normal. He could still control them with no resistance. But he was still feeling uneasy. Just what was happening?
He had been so happy just a moment ago after forming a Divine Character so quickly. He was even praising himself for being a super genius. But his joy barely lasted as his three Divine Characters had immediately shattered it. When he sent his willpower toward the golden book, it remained completely unresponsive.
He took a look at the nearby cultural weapon and mythic destruction beast skull before withdrawing from his sea of consciousness. He sank into deep thought.
He could still control his Divine Characters perfectly. In that case, why had they acted the way they did?
The blood character had grown stronger from that little episode. The other two characters had also benefited slightly. Thus, the formation of the new Divine Character had not been completely wasted. After it was destroyed, all three of his existing Divine Characters had grown.
"They had joined hands to destroy and consume the devil scorpion Divine Character?" Su Yu frowned, "Why?"
He was sure that this wasn\'t an issue with his talent. He was still able to form Divine Characters as quickly as ever. His speed would not be affected by the language of the character he was forming. In that case, why would something like this happen?
"The Divine Characters had rejected the devil scorpion character. The Divine Characters might not necessarily be sentient, but they had indeed rejected the other character."
The three existing Divine Characters seemed to have formed their own little group. A group that rejected all outsiders.
Su Yu wondered if they only rejected devil scorpion characters or if they would reject all characters.
"I need to give this another try."
A single attempt would not tell him anything. Su Yu decided to try more.
...
Three hours passed. Su Yu looked pale.
Yet another Divine Character had been destroyed. He had just formed an earthbee race character and the character was destroyed just like the previous character.
"I tried suppressing the three characters. I still have them under my control, but the resistance toward the new character is too strong."
During his previous attempt, when he suppressed his three characters, they hadn\'t been able to immediately destroy the new character. But when he was about to start subduing the new character, he found that the new character and his sea of willpower resisted each other too much.
In other words, even after taming this character, he still needed to spend more energy on suppressing and dissolving the resistance.
"I can\'t form devil scorpion characters. I can\'t form earthbee characters as well. No, I can actually form them, but my sea of willpower rejected them. My existing characters did not destroy the new characters because they dislike them. Instead, it was because of the resistance..."
Su Yu frowned and sank into thought.
.
"Resistance...this has never happened before. Is it because all my previous characters are human characters? Now that I\'m trying to form myriad race characters, there is resistance?"
A new thought appeared in Su Yu\'s mind. He might be different from others. The resistance of his sea of willpower might be related to the golden book in his mind. His three characters might have been influenced by the book. The book was the one rejecting the myriad race characters.
In that case, even if Su Yu could form myriad race characters and prevent his existing characters from destroying the new characters, it would still be pointless as he would have to spare more willpower on suppressing the resistance.
"I...am unable to cultivate myriad race characters."
It was unrelated to his talent. He could form those characters. But his sea of willpower rejected myriad race characters.
Su Yu frowned deeply. He noticed that his three characters had grown stronger yet again.
"Interesting. The destroyed characters can be used to feed them."
In that case, forming new characters here wouldn\'t be a waste. The past six hours of work hadn\'t been for nothing. He placed the book down and withdrew his willpower. He needed to focus on thinking about the consequences of what he had just discovered.
Also, he wondered if there would still be resistance if he destroyed his existing characters. He had no answer. But he did not intend to give it a try either.
"Golden book, human character, custom character technique..."
Su Yu started connecting the various hints he had obtained.
"Absorbing the blood essence of the myriad races to utilize the cultivation method and martial technique of the myriad races...If the book is a supreme treasure, then it must definitely be something made by a human."
Su Yu thought of many things.
Generally, blood essence would be obtained from an enemy one had killed. Thus, the book was essentially indirectly encouraging him to kill his enemies by requiring blood essence.
It wanted him to kill iron-winged birds and mountainbreak bulls to obtain their blood essence. And the book required blood essence, not regular blood.
"The book has been staying silently in my sea of willpower before this. It suddenly acted when I was forming my character technique. I thought it only wanted to gather the strongest shining points, but after seeing all this...perhaps it was merely rejecting all the shining points that represented myriad race characters? Are all 99 Divine Characters of my little saber human characters?"
One hypothesis after another was made. The book might not be sentient after all. And nobody was controlling it. But it definitely rejected the Divine Characters of non-humans.
"The book might be hostile toward the myriad race characters...Is the mythic destruction beast skull allowed to stay because it came from something that is already dead? So the book is a treasure of the human race? In my dreams, the myriad races have been trying to kill me all along. Can I conclude that the monsters in my dreams are all my enemies?"
Even more thoughts rose in Su Yu\'s mind. Was the book a treasure or a Divine Character? An Eternal Divine Character? A unique Eternal Divine Character!
"Is this a Divine Character?"
Su Yu frowned. If that was true, where did it come from? He really had no idea.
"I\'m too weak. I have never seen Eternal Divine Characters before as well. Looks like I can only learn more after growing stronger..."
Su Yu exhaled deeply and rubbed his face to bring his attention to the right place. He decided to not think about all that for now. That wasn\'t something he could figure out at his current level.
"If the book is really a Divine Character, perhaps when I reach the Mountainsea Realm or even the Sunmoon Realm, I would be able to discover something. Furthermore, if it is really a Divine Character, then it is most definitely a human Eternal Divine Character."
He suddenly thought of something.
Human Eternal Divine Character!
Bai Feng said that of the known existing Eternal Divine Characters, none was a human character. Was that book a Divine Character?
If it was, it must definitely be an Eternal character. Since it did not reject human characters and reject all other characters, it would most likely be a human character if it was really a Divine Character.
"So do humans have Eternal Divine Characters as well?"
Su Yu grew excited. When he heard from Bai Feng that there were no human Eternal characters, he felt gloomy. He was unhappy. As far as he was concerned, human characters were strong as well.
But he learned that human characters could not become Eternal characters. He was upset about that. But perhaps...there were human Eternal characters in existence. Bai Feng was merely unaware of them.
"That must be it. Teacher is still quite young as well. He knows too little. A lot of things are probably still secret to him. Human characters are not weak at all. Even if they are really weak, given enough time and growth, they can grow strong too! Human characters can grow into Eternal characters too!"
When Su Yu looked at the willpower texts in the room once again, he knew that he would not be able to get any new characters from these texts. But he was still going to read them.
After all, he could still temper his willpower doing so. And if he could form more characters, he could feed them to his existing characters. He found that it might be a good idea to nurture his Divine Characters with other Divine Characters.
He had only fed his Divine Characters with two newly formed characters so far yet his blood character looked like it was already on the verge of transformation. That character had also absorbed a large amount of blood essence from the filter room.
Nothing had changed despite all the blood essence it had absorbed, but it had clearly grown considerably after absorbing the leftover willpower of the two destroyed characters.
"There are ranks to Divine Characters as well. Is this character on the verge of advancement?"
Su Yu was unsure. It was only natural that there were ranks to Divine Characters. Otherwise, where did Eternal Divine Characters come from? The basic classes had touched upon this topic. However, no detailed explanation had ever been given. That was because prior to the Skysoar Realm, one would only have Divine Characters at the lowest rank.
"I remember that during the class, the instructor said that Divine Characters won\'t advance prior to the Skysoar Realm. Only at the Skysoar Realm would the Divine Characters stand a chance to advance into the second tier. Is the blood character going to advance earlier?"
Su Yu shook his head. This entire situation was feeling more and more mysterious to him. Apart from serving as the nutrient of his Divine Characters, the myriad race characters seemed capable of helping his Divine Characters advance as well.
"These are the characters I had formed myself. What about the Divine Characters of Skysoar enemies that they materialized? If I destroy those characters, can I feed them to my Divine Characters?"
Su Yu sank into thought. Myriad race blood essence could help him activate his book. Myriad race Divine Characters could help him feed his Divine Characters. Then...what exactly were the myriad races to him?
