Free Web NovelChapter 1705: Chapter 967: Relic
The so-called "inheritance" is the original body of the Phoenix, the current commander of the Alliance’s Southern Line, Martins Salas, after ascending to the original form with Gu Hang, obtained it after personally participating in combat for the first time.
In the Papalier Star System, a Calamity Fleet was obliterated. Their strategic goals were also exposed.
The commander of the Chaos Starfield Warriors, leader of the Calamity Fleet, a historically known human traitor, King of White Wolves - Zachariah, was captured alive and transported to the Alliance heartland, currently detained in a secret chamber on Rage Owl Star.
Along with this captive, the fleet’s intended plunder was also sent over.
That item was originally stored in a bronze sarcophagus in an underground crypt of a chapel in Papalier. freёwebnoѵel.com
Now, that bronze sarcophagus has also been delivered.
The captive and bronze sarcophagus have actually been in Gu Hang’s hands for some time. However, Gu Hang has been too occupied to personally conduct any research.
The Alliance Intelligence Department is interrogating the captive, while multiple sects of the Sect of Mechanics and scholars from the Psychic Cultivator’s Association have sent people to conduct joint research on the bronze sarcophagus.
Even without Gu Hang’s direct involvement, the Alliance has mobilized its existing resources from various sectors.
The goal is to uncover the nature of these "things," to understand their purpose and what the Chaos Forces are scheming.
Yet, the specifications, levels, and depths of this item were somewhat beyond expectations.
Without Gu Hang’s direct participation in the research, after much effort, they can only ascertain that it appears to be some kind of "inheritance." Initially thought to be a treasure left by some ancient civilization, they started calling it "inheritance" internally. However, as research deepened, understanding of the contents within the bronze sarcophagus grew, leading to a revised theory that it’s not a product of civilization, but rather something left by some powerful individual or entity.
Beyond this, research yields little else. The energy levels within cannot be measured or used; moving the bronze sarcophagus using spiritual energy is a laborious task. Furthermore, the sarcophagus is merely a container, not the essence. The essence within remains inaccessible.
Research progress reports are continuously sent to Gu Hang’s desk, where he reviews them with great interest.
After resolving affairs in Comoros and delegating control of divine fragments to his son, Gu Hang freed up time to start dealing with this matter.
Gu Hang’s interest grew even more as the research progressed!
It’s no wonder the sages from the Sect of Mechanics and the scholar masters from the Psychic Cultivator’s Association could not delve deeper.
Their previous conclusion, however, wasn’t incorrect.
This item indeed is a "legacy"; it originates from an ultra-ancient civilization, akin to a divine existence.
Gu Hang believes this.
Yet, its origin can be set aside for now. Its function resembles that of the God of Thousand Faces’ divine core.
Though potentially not identical, their effects are likely similar; mastering and assimilating it could elevate one to godhood!
But saying so is easier than doing it. Even with Gu Jing’s ability, claiming "a face" of the God of Thousand Faces was nearly impossible. Only with Gu Hang’s intense efforts and the God of Thousand Faces’ cooperation due to a transaction—helping rather than hindering—could Gu Jing succeed.
However, this current fragment is entirely different from the God of Thousand Faces.
Autumn’s harbinger; Gu Hang sees this fragment as merely an insignificant piece of the complete form. Thus, extrapolating its complete version must be far more powerful than the God of Thousand Faces—even greater than at its prime! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
What does this imply?
At its prime, the God of Thousand Faces sat in the Pantheon, transforming into countless deities, it sheltered the then-universal hegemon, the Spirit Race Empire. Despite not reaching the current Four Gods’ level because of certain traits, one of the current Four Gods, Slaanesh, originated from a "face" of the Thousand Faces, ultimately manifesting.
From this, the gap between the primed God of Thousand Faces and the Four Gods wasn’t much—merely a hair’s breadth.
Even stronger than that implies that the complete divine core could rival the Subspace’s primary deities, equaling the Four Gods?
But... pondering this, Gu Hang can’t help but harbor a thrilling thought:
"Can the Four Gods die too?"
This universe is filled with entities called "god." Earlier, something like the Primal Fury Owl on Rage Owl Star could be deemed one.
Yet, the true Four Great Evil Gods are terrifying and overwhelming in their power.
Are entities of this level also subject to demise?
Even divided into countless fragments?
What are the Chaos Forces attempting then, collecting these fragments?
Resurrecting that god?
This question necessitates combining with information extracted from the interrogation of Zachariah, the former King of White Wolves, now a prisoner.
The Chaos Forces aren’t entirely unified; though currently, they’re seemingly consolidated by Chaos Warlord Alchaton, internal disputes and factions are numerous.
The hostile relationship between the Four Gods is likely no less than the enmity with the Human Emperor. Chaos cultists, if they believe in one of the Four Gods, would naturally struggle to cooperate, relying on Alchaton to forcibly unite them. Of course, some like Alchaton don’t solely worship any one Evil God, generally siding with Chaos but not truly believing, instead borrowing power from Subspace, each pursuing their own ambitions.
White Wolf King Zachariah is one of them.
He dreams of replacing the Chaos Warlord, then during the Warlord’s formation of the Calamity Fleet, leveraging a collaborator, a powerful entity from Subspace, an Inferior Deity named Bas Sol.
This entity possesses great power and considerable influence within Subspace.
If it were just this, it would be nothing noteworthy; besides the Four Gods, many inferior evil gods and demon princes inhabit Subspace as well.
However, Bas Sol harbors a grand ambition—to elevate even further.
This aspiration may be shared by many Subspace inferior gods. Yet, most don’t have the path to realization; it’s merely a frightening fantasy.
Bas Sol differs; he has already taken a crucial step.
