Chapter 1663

Human brains thought for a while, saying: "Alright, we don't have anyone skilled in intelligence gathering and analysis here, it's rare to have someone proficient in this area, which is good, but whether he gets absorbed into the River of the Dead Council depends on his ability; if his level isn't sufficient, I won't cast a vote in favor."

The other brains also chimed in one after another: "Me too, me too."

Kelarnia said on the surface: "Of course, you decide by voting." But secretly she laughed: These walking corpses really treat the River of the Dead Council as their own.

The River of the Dead Council naturally refers to the so-called highest decision-making body formed by these walking corpses.

God Stars are actually individuals with high intelligence but little creativity; you can have them calculate celestial trajectories, record the flickering of star charts over thousands of years, and quickly exchange various information—they can do that—but asking them to create something that doesn't exist in the void, they cannot.

Even the star-born they nurture will have forms referencing all creatures in the entire incremental cycle as prototypes, then pieced together into corresponding individuals.

If an individual does not exist in the entire incremental cycle, they also cannot create a new one.

Lacking creativity, it's hard to see God Stars having unique skills in the void; most battles between God Stars rely solely on their large mass.

Of course, battles between God Stars are also rare because they are too far apart.

After arriving in the external void, everyone has seen relatively creative combat styles; one is Morarnia's Meteor Legion, and the other is Kelarnia's Kelar Arrow.

The Kelar Arrow was created by these walking corpses in the River of the Dead Council.

Kelarnia consciously collected these intelligent lives, using parasitic plants to parasitize them, utilizing their intellectual resources to compensate for her own lack of creativity.

This is essentially a form of enslavement, yet Kelarnia made them believe the River of the Dead Council is the highest decision-making body.

However, all the walking corpses here only have consciousness that can move and think, but they cannot leave this parasitic plant; even their perception of the outside world is fabricated by the parasitic plant.

They still believe they are in a bright conference hall, over a hundred people seated on a circular platform, while Kelarnia stands at the lowest position reporting to them—this is their perception of the River of the Dead Council. In reality, they are completely wrapped in bark here, with only their heads exposed.

Kelarnia chuckled a few times, then turned her thoughts toward her own body, to the position of the silver coin.

The silver coin was reporting to Anthony in the soul network: "Lord Anthony, the other side seems not to have taken the bait; although they strengthened their search in your direction, they haven't given up on other directions either."

Anthony said: "I also noticed, this Kelarnia is hard to deceive; his behavioral pattern exceeds the normal range of God Stars; you've been on him this long—do you understand his way of thinking?"

"I recently learned they have a highest decision-making body called the River of the Dead Council, from which almost all orders are issued." The silver coin said.

"River of the Dead Council? Which River of the Dead?" Anthony asked in surprise.

"It's the River of the Dead in the world of death, where wandering souls drift—you also find it strange, right?" The silver coin said.

When I first heard that name, I also thought it strange—a creature that cannot survive winter, its language absolutely has no descriptions of winter ice and snow.

A species without death naturally cannot have descriptions or vocabulary related to death, let alone name its highest decision-making body after it.

Therefore, this name full of deathly style could only have been conceived by a being that experiences death.

Kelarnia also has life races and star-born on her body, but the star-born are deathless, or rather do not die normally—how could they have concepts of a death world and River of the Dead?

In other words, the person who coined this name must absolutely be from the life races, yet life races in the void are the lowest existence—how could they name the highest decision-making body?

Could it be because God Stars have no names and don't know how to name things, so they chose this name? Or is the River of the Dead Council not actually a decision-making body?

Anthony said: "No matter what, since this name full of life-race style, we should assume it using the thought patterns of life races."

Saying this, Anthony clenched his fists and said: "This is better; dealing with those dull God Stars for too long has made my brain want to atrophy."

"Since the other side might be thinking in the style of life races, your current behavior is somewhat overly conspicuous; if it were me, I couldn't possibly fail to notice someone gathering intelligence underground." Anthony reminded.

The silver coin nodded: "Yes, it's somewhat overly conspicuous; ordinary God Stars wouldn't understand what use the information I gathered has, but if the other side is life races, then my gathering of this information is taboo—it's all their logistical information."

"How many star-born went out, how many came back? How far did the farthest go? Too bad star-born don't need to consume food; otherwise, from food consumption we could calculate how many star-born went out." The silver coin said regretfully.

Anthony sighed: "You're already quite capable; each God Star's world is a closed circle; methods that work on other God Stars may not work here. You managed to uncover the name of their highest decision-making body in such a short time—that's already impressive."

"But your current danger level is increasing; still, come back—just placing a white crystal there can also serve as a marker." Anthony said.

"I won't go back for now; I've just launched a new business, crystallizing white crystals. Besides Kelarnia's star-born here, there are also star-born from other God Stars, such as Six-Star God Star, which are all interested in enhancing white crystals, able to let their core white crystals—" Just as he said this, the silver coin's soul connection suddenly broke.

"Silver coin? Silver coin? Lord, what happened?" Anthony had a bad premonition and hurriedly asked Seeing Ange.

Seeing Ange immediately searched for the silver coin; unfortunately, Kelarnia's body only had the silver coin as a node, and when the silver coin's soul connection broke, he couldn't even project there—he could only stretch his perception as far as possible toward that vanished node.

After much effort, Seeing Ange finally managed to catch a few wisps of consciousness fragments; the silver coin's entire body exploded, leaving only the white crystal enclosed in a light sphere, slowly flying toward the direction of the Ten Thousand Worlds God Tree.

Obviously, the silver coin was captured, but the worst part isn't that he was caught—it's that his soul connection with Seeing Ange was severed, meaning Kelarnia cut off the silver coin's soul link with him.

Kelarnia actually can cut soul connections?
