Chapter 357: God of Reason

Upon hearing these words spoken by Feng Qingchen,

Everyone present felt a buzzing in their heads.

Several Martial Kings exchanged glances, their eyes filled with deep doubt.

Is this some new form of communication among the local Savior Heirs?

A god inside my body?

They recognized each of these words, yet when combined into a sentence, it felt utterly foreign to them.

According to their understanding of this world, gods are powerful beings that stand above all.

How could it be, inside Feng Qingchen's body?

Not to mention them, even An Jianan and Zi Ling are completely bewildered right now.

Even the teacher shared by all Savior Heirs, An Jianan, has never heard of placing a god inside one's body.

Feng Qingchen obviously had no intention of explaining, and he promptly walked toward the outside of the Hall of Sacred Knowledge.

However, after just a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at An Jianan,

Teacher, you wouldn't want us to walk all the way to Tianyu City, would you?

Before An Jianan could speak, Zi Ling quickly stood up and said anxiously,

Teacher Feng Qingchen, Teacher An Jianan's stamina cannot withstand too many uses of the Gate of Myriad Paths; we should hurry back.

Gu Han heard this and looked in surprise at An Jianan, who seemed perfectly fine.

So a demigod's power cannot be unleashed without restraint, can it?

He had thought that once a demigod grasped the power of a god, they could at least release it without limit.

At the very least, they should be able to release it again after resting.

But now it seems the demigod of the Chong Yuan world falls short of his expectations.

Feng Qingchen seemed to treat Zi Ling's words as wind in his ears, continuing on his own,

Teacher An Jianan, I know using the Gate of Myriad Paths is also a burden for you, but if I'm not mistaken, Xiao Bai should already have gone to Jianfeng City.

You don't need me to tell you the strength of the God of War; Teacher, you surely know that relying solely on Xiao Bai's power, let alone defeating the God of War and seizing their fire seed,

even matching the God of War is probably impossible!

Zi Ling fell silent for a moment, then still rebutted,

Before departure, Teacher Feng Yue Shan had already received news that Your Excellency Xiao Wandi had returned and was setting out for Jianfeng City.

With Your Excellency Xiao Wandi's assistance, Your Excellency Bai Ce will surely be able to crush the God of War in one fell swoop!

Feng Qingchen shook his head,

Zi Ling, what did I teach you when you were at the Hall of Learned Divinity? Never judge things by appearances!

I ask you, what was the purpose of that mysterious black-robed swordsman coming to the Hall of Learned Divinity?

Zi Ling blinked slightly, then answered instinctively,

Obviously, to obtain the fire seed of the God of Reason.

Exactly.

Feng Qingchen nodded,

After that black-robed swordsman failed to seize the God of Reason's fire seed, what would his goal be?

Zi Ling furrowed her brows—need we even say?

Naturally, to turn to the fire seeds of other gods?

Feng Qingchen nodded,

You previously mentioned that the black-robed swordsman had clashed with you in the battle at Tianyu City, yet even with the teacher present, he still managed to reach the Hall of Learned Divinity ahead of you.

What does that mean?

Seeing Zi Ling's furrowed brows, Feng Qingchen had no intention of wasting time and explained directly,

That there might be more than just the teacher as a Path Demigod in this world!

Upon hearing this, even An Jianan and Zi Ling, who were mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp.

An Jianan replied in a youthful tone,

According to common sense, this is impossible; perhaps there could be Savior Heirs skilled in Path Ability, but a demigod must undergo the trial of the fire seed to become a demigod!

Other priests like Bai Qi can, through chanting, also use the ability of time to restore some facilities.

If it's a short-range Path teleportation, Bai Qi and others can do the same.

But for long-distance transmission, such as the distant journey from Sheng Cheng to the Hall of Learned Divinity,

it is absolutely beyond what an ordinary priest can achieve.

Even An Jianan must wield the power of a Path Demigod to accomplish it!

But just as it's impossible for this world to have two identical gods,

each god in the world can only give birth to a single fire seed, meaning that only one demigod can exist for each faith.

The fire seed of the Path is already borne by An Jianan.

It is impossible for another Path Demigod to be born.

According to logical deduction, Teacher, what you say is indeed correct.

Feng Qingchen obviously agrees with An Jianan on this point, yet he continues,

Perhaps that black-robed swordsman is not truly a Path Demigod, but it likely means his Path-related abilities are on par with a demigod's.

And in the earlier battle, everyone surely saw that the black-robed swordsman's chest was pierced by me, yet he could still recover—this is absolutely not an ordinary ability.

As he spoke those words, Feng Qingchen's gaze fell upon Zi Ling.

Gu Han thought of the deity that Bai Ce had mentioned about this world.

Among them, there was no deity with healing power like the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng.

If one had to say, if the other's ability is related to any deity, then it would probably only be the deity that Zi Ling belongs to.

Death!

"Teacher Feng Qingchen, do you mean that the black-robed swordsman, like me, is also someone afflicted with the death curse?"

Although Zi Ling felt incredulous in her heart, she still voiced her doubt.

Feng Qingchen nodded, but then shook his head and said,

"Compared to being cursed by the god of death, I'm more inclined to think he is an almighty Savior Heir..."

Saying this, Feng Qingchen's voice suddenly hesitated, then he said,

"More accurately speaking, it should be the World-Destroying Heir!"

As soon as the words "World-Destroying Heir" were spoken, the gazes of An Jianan and the others all became solemn.

"It seems we can only fight this fellow to the bitter end!"

After all, Feng Qingchen is a renowned scholar in the Hall of Erudition.

Furthermore, the God of Reason currently resides within Feng Qingchen's body, so An Jianan and the others had no doubt about his inference.

Or rather, this is definitely the possibility with the highest probability among all possibilities.

"So, although I know the teacher's body can no longer bear the burden of the gate..."

When Feng Qingchen mentioned An Jianan's body, he was no longer as indifferent as he was when thinking earlier.

An Jianan used to be his teacher as well; for An Jianan, he likewise felt sincere respect.

"But after the black-robed swordsman leaves, he will definitely head to Sword Edge City at First Moment to stop that brat Bai Ce from seizing the War God's spark."

"And Bai Ce and his group still don't know that the black-robed swordsman can travel long distances; it's highly likely they'll be ambushed by him!"

"So we must return to Heavenly Universe City as soon as possible, then proceed to Sword Edge City."
