The Great Seminary

Chapter 270 Divine Gift
Zhang Gui knew that according to the scientific viewpoints of his previous life, it would be difficult for him to be defined as a pure human being in the present.

But in his view, 'the soul is unique, but cognition is eternal.'

In other words, as long as one's initial understanding of race is 'human', then one will always be human.

Since he is human, the label of 'ghoul' is something Zhang Gui is unwilling to acknowledge.

Therefore, he carefully sensed the changes in his body and finally discovered the abnormality.

He let his instincts take over, relinquishing control over the 'Tai Sui Entering the God' within his head.

"It wasn't me, but Tai Sui who was yearning for something."

The term "original spirit" originally refers to the sublimated human soul.

The brain is the only organ humans use for thinking.

It's incredibly easy for the main psychic cluster, which is connected to the brain and is also related to the 'spirit,' to influence my subconscious.

But then the outcome is uncertain.

The 'Tai Sui Enters the Godhood' is not a divine cluster that originated from my bloodline; it is a naturally growing divine cluster.

Instead, it was a contingency plan left to me by the ancient demon god Chi You, which was 'transplanted' into my Divine Cong.

In ancient legends, Tai Sui was a large fungus that could bring disaster to people.

This statement is strange in itself.

However, the appearance and abilities exhibited by 'Tai Sui entering the spirit' were quite similar to the legends.

So I never thought much about it.

It doesn't seem that simple now.

That makes sense, though, as they initially possessed the status of supreme sages like Emperor Yan and Shennong.

Later, because he failed to compete with the God King 'Xuanyuan Huangdi' for the first human ruler of Dongsheng Continent, he was smeared as the Demon Lord 'War Lord Chiyou'.

A character who played three of the most important roles in the ancient mythology of humankind.

How could he possibly leave a 'mushroom' for his most outstanding descendants to prove the Demon Lord's way and 'benefit' all mankind...?

While pondering, Zhang Gui was multitasking, waving his hand to summon a sandstorm with the "Great Interplay of Celestial Phenomena and Geography" technique to conceal his figure.

They carefully observed the changes in the remains of Jiao Datou and Kong Liu.

Over time.

The two corpses continued to concave inwards, gradually revealing the shape of their skeletons.

In the end, he simply turned into a skeleton covered with human skin.

Strangely, it was clearly visible that the internal organs of Jiao Datou and Kong Liu's remains had vanished without a trace.

However, each of them had a bulge about the thickness of a wrist, resembling a long snake, inside their abdominal cavity, which would occasionally slide slowly against their skin.

When it is.

The main spirit cluster 'Tai Sui Enters the Spirit' in Zhang Gui's head spontaneously began to grow hyphae from all the orifices around his body, which started to elongate continuously.

It stretched out toward the remains of Kong Liu and Jiao Datou.

As the mycelium gets closer.

The serpentine protrusions inside the two corpses began to move incessantly, and at an increasingly faster speed.

"The hunt has begun!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Gui, who had allowed the 'Tai Sui Enters the God' to fully display its instincts, seemed to have guessed something and felt a little excited.

Unexpectedly, the mycelium extending from his orifices was less than a foot away from the corpses of Kong Liu and Jiao Datou.

Just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, the mycelium did not tear open the corpse's skin, but instead plunged into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a faint 'woo-woo' sound came from deep underground.

Wait until the mycelium retracts from underground back to the surface.

Two scaleless worms, each about the thickness of a thumb, were clearly embedded in it.

At first glance, they look like two slightly fatter earthworms.

It just so happens to have the head of a dragon and the head of Kong Liu.

"What the hell is this thing!" Even Zhang Gui, who was considered well-informed, couldn't help but shudder as he controlled the mycelium produced by the 'Tai Sui Enters the Divine' and its sucking of the human-headed worm.

He reached out and pinched the insect with the head of a dragon in his hand.

As it turned out, the insect had a human head, but it lacked any human intelligence.

Unfazed by the vast difference in size and combat strength between themselves and their enemy, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit his finger.

The speed was so fast that Zhang Gui couldn't react in time, and the human-headed worm bit off a piece of flesh the size of a soybean on his thumb.

"Oh my god..."

Zhang Gui, who had rarely been injured since mastering the extraordinary, was both in pain and angry. He directly threw the fleshy worm from Jiao Da Tou's head back to the mycelium produced by the 'Tai Sui Entering the Divine'.

Watching them, driven by instinct, turn the flesh worms into 'flesh juice' and suck it clean.

Then something mysterious was triggered.

Zhang Gui realized that the origin of this human-headed worm was actually the Earth Demon Race, the greatest natural enemy of the human race since ancient times!

"The Hundred Earth Demon Clans, this is one of the Hundred Earth Demon Clans or a subspecies."

No way, it's this thing, ugh…

Zhang Gui was surprised when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingertip.

Looking closer, they discovered that half of the finger bitten by the worm had hardened into stone.

In his shock, he hurriedly activated the "Hundred Herbs Life-Generating Technique" originating from Shennong, hoping to heal himself, but found it to be ineffective.

"This isn't an injury, but a continuous magical attack that can only sever a finger."

Then it was reborn with the 'Great Growth' technique.

Or try applying the principle of 'mutual generation and mutual restraint among all things'.

A thought flashed through Zhang Guixian's mind, and he didn't cut off his own finger.

Instead, it triggered the "Tai Sui Enters the Divine Realm," causing black liquid to gush out from his fontanelle and wrap around his injured, petrified fingers.

After a sharp, excruciating pain, my finger miraculously returned to normal.

Having found a way to control himself, Zhang Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of curiosity, he also picked up the fleshy worm with the head of Kong Liu in his hand.

He was very careful this time, but he didn't expect that the insect with Kong Liu's head seemed to have inherited Kong Liu's hypocritical and refined personality.

Its appearance is completely different from that of the fleshy worm with the big head of the dragon.

Not only did she not intend to attack Zhang Gui at all, but she also smiled obsequiously.

Their slender and supple bodies began to sway gently.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly threw the fleshy worm from Kong Liu's head to 'Tai Sui Enters the God,' which devoured it completely.

Then the mystery was triggered again.

But this time he didn't receive the 'divinely bestowed' knowledge of the hundred races of the Earth Demons.

Instead, it slightly deepened the imprint of Zhang Gui's 'Civilizational Path' in the mysterious realm.

While it is true that 'knowledge is power,' nothing is more alluring than 'power' itself.

"As long as you accumulate and deepen the imprint of 'Civilization Path' in the mysterious realm, you will receive the reward of upgrading your 'Extraordinary Level'."

According to the logic that "fighting evil is promoting justice", killing the demon race is equivalent to benefiting human civilization.

That's fine, very good, very good.

It seems I need to officially put my plan to travel through the 'Cave Realm' on the agenda.

Ideally, you should bring a 'secret realm' with you so you can teleport back and forth instantly.

However, my 'secret realm' should be equivalent to my earthly divine kingdom.

It seems we need to try creating a secret realm on True Dragon Island using the 'Earth Vein Point Creation Secret Realm Method' first.

"Half a cubic meter would be enough in terms of size..."
