Chapter 506: Antares

Antares stared dumbfounded, gazing at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

It had once boasted of knowing everything, but now it had to admit that Jiang Chen's existence had surpassed its understanding.

That incredible passive Skill, that 100% elemental immunity, and the ability to neutralize corpse poison each shocked Antares.

The reality lay before it; it could neither deny nor escape it.

In the end, Antares could only lower its head helplessly, its voice tinged with a hint of defeat: "Fine, I admit, there truly are things in this world that I do not know."

"Since that's the case, whenever you have a question, feel free to ask me; whatever I know, I'll tell you." Antares's voice was a bit downcast, yet its words carried a trace of resignation.

Jiang Chen looked at Antares, feeling a surge of pride. He knew he had successfully piqued Antares's interest, paving the way for his upcoming questions.

He gave a slight smile and posed his first question: "Do you know the derived beast? Or rather, their other name, derived monster!"

"I know, it's this thing!" Some light appeared before Antares, strands intertwining into the shape of a monster.

Four legs, a slender body, and especially a tail longer than the body.

In Jiang Chen's words, it was a four‑legged snake.

Jiang Chen said, "The Dragon Race discovered a large number of derived monsters in a Secret Realm, slaughtered them all, and built a derived blood pool to replicate the Dragon Race's puppet war generals."

Antares sneered, "I know that, the derived blood pool is only a premium item, the highest

it can only replicate Level 70 guys, not much use."

"Moreover, I can tell you a secret: the Dragon Race is courting death."

Jiang Chen pressed, "Why do you say that?"

Antares shook its head, "If I could say it, I would; this question belongs to the unspeakable, ask a different one."

Jiang Chen didn't insist on an answer; he knew when to stop and kept a firm grip on the limits.

Jiang Chen continued, "Alright, then I'll change the question: why can't I self‑replicate?"

Antares replied offhand, "It can only replicate lower‑tier races."

This time Jiang Chen was shocked.

He hadn't expected such an answer.

Seeing Jiang Chen's shocked expression, Antares laughed nervously.

Finally, a victory!

Antares felt greatly vindicated.

He had decided to drop the question here; no matter how Jiang Chen asked, he would not answer midway.

Suffocate Jiang Chen.

Antares thought it was well hidden, but the smugness in its eyes betrayed it.

After the shock, Jiang Chen no longer pursued that question.

Instead, he began to talk about other trivial matters.

That, however, made Antares feel depressed.

In its mind it cursed Jiang Chen countless times, and while answering, it started calling him "damned kid" after each sentence, venting its displeasure.

Jiang Chen didn't mind and simply called it by name.

The two vastly mismatched individuals now conversed like friends.

Antares was actually very curious about Jiang Chen's profession, but out of pride it was too embarrassed to ask.

Now, in this Q&A, it finally grasped some details of Jiang Chen's profession and learned that

Jiang Chen had raised his poison element immunity to 100%.

When Jiang Chen displayed the complete corpse of the Poison God before Antares, Antares was once again deeply shocked.

"Damned kid, do you know what you're holding?" Antares's voice grew serious, and the aura it exuded became even more astonishing.

Under its aura, the Poison God's aura was tightly sealed, leaking not a single trace outward.

It was a complete divine corpse, not scattered bones or limbs, but an intact divine spirit body.

Its emanating aura, even the mighty Shenlong Tower might not fully conceal.

Jiang Chen said calmly, "This is a complete divine corpse; by studying and comprehending it, we Human Race can give birth to more Divine-level Strongmen, and existing Divine-level Strongmen can achieve promotion."

"I know its existence shouldn't be easily revealed to outsiders, but since it's now in my hands, someday people will know."

Antares snorted coldly, "What do you know? Everything you know came from that guy Jiang Yi, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded in acknowledgment; his initial understanding of divine spirits indeed came from Jiang Yi.

At that time, Jiang Yi handed him a severed divine spirit finger and solemnly warned him not to show it lightly.

Li Xueru and Hong Jishi also placed great importance on this matter.

However, a single severed finger compared to the complete corpse of the Poison God was worlds apart.

Moreover, the Poison God was a mid‑tier divine spirit, its value and significance incalculable.

Antares continued, "The existence of divine spirits is extremely special

they do not easily leave behind corpses. They are the darlings of heaven and earth, aggregations of elements, embodying the pinnacle of a particular element. They are hard to truly kill; even in death, a sliver of life remains."

"Kid, did you have terrible luck?" Antares's gaze held a strange glint, looking at Jiang Chen as if at a miraculous being.

No one has truly seen anyone obtain a complete divine spirit corpse.

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, not denying, "Perhaps, but I really don't know what the divine spirit corpse is good for."

His words revealed a hint of honesty; his understanding of the divine spirit corpse truly remained superficial.

Antares hummed lightly and began to explain, "Divine spirits are the ultimate embodiment of elements; do you know what that means?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating confusion.

Antares continued, "The ultimate embodiment of an element is the law. You should be able to feel the strong law aura emanating from this divine spirit corpse."

"Different divine spirits represent different elements, and for the Human Race's various professions to improve their elemental skills, they need a deeper understanding of the law."

Jiang Chen, upon hearing it, felt a sudden clarity and finally understood the true value of the divine corpse.

He asked further, "Since the divine corpse contains a law, does that mean any profession can benefit from it?"

Antares nodded, "Exactly, it's analogous. Although the Human Race has no profession that directly uses the Poison Element, grasping the Poison Element law can still inspire and improve other related elemental Skills.

. \"

Jiang Chen, after hearing it, felt a surge of excitement. He understood that the divine corpse and the Law Crystal in his hand would be the Human Race's future hope.

However, he was not satisfied and pressed on, "Then, what use does this Lightning Element Law Crystal in my hand have?"

As he spoke, he turned his palm, and a Lightning Element Law Crystal emitting a fierce electric glow appeared in his hand.

Antares merely glanced at it and said, "A Lightning Element Law Crystal is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for mages who excel at Lightning Element Skills. Its value even surpasses an entire set of legendary gear."

Jiang Chen, after hearing that, grew even more eager. He wanted to know whether this Law Crystal could bring him a greater breakthrough.

So he continued, "By the way, do you know how I obtained this Lightning Element Law Crystal?"

Antares shook his head slightly, indicating he did not know.

Jiang Chen then recounted, in detail, his experience of encountering the Thunder God in a Secret Realm.

After listening to Jiang Chen's account, Antares could not help but sigh, "That Thunder God was also too foolish. I warned it not to go, yet it went resolutely, and met such an end."

Jiang Chen, upon hearing, felt a pang of sentiment. He realized that whether deity or mortal, emotions are unavoidable, and for emotions, people often pay a heavy price.

"They had a chance to be reborn, yet they stubbornly cling to that last fragment of their true self; these deities are so obstinate it leaves one speechless!" Antares's voice revealed a hint of helplessness.

It turned out they were not only acquainted but also shared a good rapport.

Jiang Chen was about to

continue his inquiry, but Antares interrupted, "Don't ask any more; even if you ask me, I won't tell you anything further."

As it spoke, a beam of light shot from its eyes, instantly enveloping the corpse of the Poison God. The once rampant divine aura, under that light, immediately weakened considerably.

Antares explained, "I have sealed its aura; from now on, don't casually bring it out again. The Human Race is not as peaceful as you imagine."

Jiang Chen stored away the Poison God's corpse, his heart full of gratitude, "Thank you, Antares."

Antares let out a light hum, his tone tinged with disdain, "No need to thank me; we're merely trading. Any other questions?"

The two had been talking for most of the day, and Antares assumed Jiang Chen had asked all his questions.

However, Jiang Chen spoke again, "I have another question, about the Divine Dragon Ancient City."

"I entered the Ancient Thunder Tower and saw some scenes," Jiang Chen began describing what he had witnessed.

Antares shook his head after listening, "I know the ancient city exists, but its history predates me, so I'm not clear on its past."

This was the first time Antares voluntarily admitted that he was not all‑knowing.

Jiang Chen did not expect the Divine Dragon Ancient City's history to be even older than Antares's; it completely surprised him.

He could not help but feel deeper respect for the ancient city, believing it must conceal extraordinary secrets.
