Chapter 193: Bai Jing Explains the Divine Beasts

Kong Daxian was amused!

"Child, do you take me for a flood and a ferocious beast?"

"Young master, I hold you in the highest respect, but your aura of glory is so terrifying; the pressure is immense!"

Bai Jing pointed to Principal Guan Bei beside him. "Look at him!"

Kong Daxian turned to look, found Guan Bei glaring fiercely at Bai Jing, and couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.

"Doctor, this child is good in every way, just too mischievous; please, you must..."

Kong Daxian waved his hand and said, "Enough, both of you relax. I am no different from you; I merely uphold a heart devoted to learning."

"As for those achievements, while they appear as glory to you, to me they are merely an exploration of truth."

"Learning has no limits; that is no empty phrase. The more knowledge one accumulates, the more one feels the greatness of all things in the universe, and the more one feels one's own insignificance."

"Even with an infinite lifespan, it is difficult to reach the other shore of truth; all we can do is explore endlessly, pursuing it with our entire lives!"

These words made both men stand in deep reverence!

Look at his state of being, then compare it to your own; what reason do you have left not to study?

After the two sat down, Kong Daxian continued: "Since the elves descended upon this world, I have developed immense curiosity about this species, burying myself in their research ever since, unable to extricate myself."

"The more I study them, the more I feel this species is utterly miraculous!"

"Although I have made considerable progress over the years, I remain unsatisfied, especially regarding those incredibly mysterious divine beasts; for us humans, everything about these elf-like gods remains a mystery."

Kong Daxian sighed: "Obtaining ordinary elves is not difficult, but as for these divine beasts, let alone studying them, even approaching them is difficult; this must be called a regret!"

"So, upon hearing that you know them well, I took on this task immediately, yet I still harbored doubts."

"Child, can you prove it to me?"

Bai Jing puffed out his chest. "Of course I can; ask whatever you like!"

"Good!"

Kong Daxian handed over more than a dozen pictures, all of divine beasts; some were photographs, while others were drawings.

After looking them over once, Bai Jing asked: "Are there only these dozen or so divine beasts that we have encountered?"

Kong Daxian's eyes lit up. "Yes; those photographed are divine beasts guarding secret realms, belonging to our nation. Those drawn are ones we were fortunate enough to glimpse; regarding them, we know absolutely nothing."

Bai Jing picked up one of the photographs and said: "Its name is Darkrai; its divine title is the God of Nightmares."

"Judging by its appearance and divine title, along with its ability to cause nearby creatures to have nightmares, ordinary people would assume it is an evil elf."

Kong Daxian nodded repeatedly. "Exactly; at first, we thought the same!"

"Its appearance seems like a Ghost attribute, but it is actually a Dark attribute; its ability is Nightmare; all these features push it toward being an evil existence."

"Add to that its ability to induce nightmares, causing both elves and humans to loathe it and regard it as an ill omen."

"But in truth, it is a very kind elf; inducing nightmares in others is not something it can control. It even keeps its distance from humans and elves to avoid causing them trouble."

"Moreover, it is not only kind but also brave; if it can gain your approval, it would even risk its life for you."

"Reviled and thus full of inferiority, voluntarily keeping away and thus desolate; even though it is called a god and possesses immense power, it is in truth merely a lonely elf."

"If it were possible, I would indeed hope to possess such an elf!"

Kong Daxian nodded repeatedly as he listened, speaking excitedly: "Through our observations, it is indeed as you say; even when spurned, it silently guards the elves; it is an existence worthy of admiration!"

Bai Jing picked up another picture and said: "Darkrai is a Secondary God; then this one is a Primary God, an existence on the level of a Supreme Deity."

Kong Daxian glanced at it and said: "This is the God of the Sea!"

"Yes, its name is Lugia; although it is the deity managing the seas, it is not a Water attribute, but rather Psychic plus Flying attributes, and it has always lived deep within the ocean."

"There is little to say about Lugia; it is the deity closest to humans, and it will rescue humans and elves in distress at sea; communicating with it is not difficult."

"Its subordinates are the Three Legendary Birds, namely Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos."

"By the way, if one can gain Lugia's approval, it will bestow the Silver Wing, the Sea God's Blessing, an extremely precious item corresponding to Ho-Oh's Rainbow Wing."

At this moment, Kong Daxian was extremely excited, looking at Bai Jing as if he were gazing upon a rare treasure of the world.

Bai Jing picked up another picture again; the elf on it was drawn, yet it was rendered with remarkable likeness.

Kong Daxian hurriedly said: "This is a deity that once appeared in another country; it is extremely terrifying. Not only that nation, but all nations of the United Nations suffered heavy losses when facing it; in the end, no one could obtain its approval."

Bai Jing expressed disgust: "Is it merely terrifying? It is nothing short of the incarnation of Death, an existence absolutely not to be approached, a truly evil elf."

"You know it as well? Speak quickly!"

"Its name is Yveltal; it can steal life and petrify it. Under its dark aura, whether you are a creature or a plant, the Tongtongdou Society will wither; true barrenness, where not a blade of grass grows; destruction is its greatest joy."

"If you encounter it, do nothing; keeping your distance is the best course of action."

Kong Daxian was stunned, speaking with lingering fear: "If you had been there back then, the United Nations would not have suffered such heavy losses!"

Bai Jing waved his hand and said: "There is no need to worry excessively; after absorbing sufficient life energy, it will fall into slumber, awakening only after a thousand years."

Having finished speaking, he picked up another portrait and smiled: "You have even seen this little cutie?"

Kong Daxian rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Please explain its origins!"

At this moment, where was he the famous doctor adorned with glory? He looked more like a student brimming with intense thirst for knowledge.

"Its name is Celebi, the Guardian of the Forest. Do not be deceived by its cute appearance resembling a small elf; it is a Mythical Beast possessing abilities that defy heaven."

"Mythical Beast?"

"Oh~ Divine Beasts are divided into two types: Legendary Elves and Illusionary Elves. Mythical Beasts may not possess world-destroying power, but every one of their abilities is utterly fantastical."

"For example?"

"For example, Celebi possesses two abilities: resurrection from the dead and time travel; each one is an existence that defies heaven."

Kong Daxian was greatly shocked. "These abilities... are absolutely what humanity dreams of!"

"Uh... I seem to have said too much!"

Bai Jing, with a headache, said: "I hope you will not spread this news, lest greedy humans go to harm Celebi."

Kong Daxian and Principal Guan Bei exchanged a glance, full of admiration in each other's eyes.
