Chapter 501 The Beast God's Choice
"And then what? Why did you stop talking?"
Lin Baiyan looked at the giant black deer floating in the air and then asked a question.
So he was actually the shadow of the Beast God?
The black stag chuckled mockingly. "Then he left, abandoning me."
“He abandoned me to become a god! We’ve depended on each other for so many years. If he wants to leave and become a god, I can follow him wherever he goes.”
He was originally Guan Xi's shadow, wasn't he?
Why didn't he take me with him when he left?
Was the allure of becoming a god really that great for him?!
Meanwhile, in another time and space, at the Beast God's mansion, under a beautiful wisteria trellis, there was a rocking chair, and on the rocking chair, an old man with a full head of white hair was sleeping.
Lin Baiyan recognized the face immediately; it was none other than the Beast God, whom he had met many times before.
At this moment, the Beast God's brows were furrowed, and he unconsciously clenched his hands, indicating that he was not sleeping soundly.
"No, I don't want to leave, Yingxi..."
He seemed to have returned to that day, his wrinkled face full of pain, but from that sweat-covered face, one could vaguely see the handsome young man he once was.
The surrounding space seemed to freeze abruptly, and the Beast God looked up in a daze.
"It's time for you to leave." The light and shadow trembled slightly.
The Beast God was somewhat stunned when he saw him. Ever since that time when he appeared and told him his name, this figure of light and shadow had never appeared again. He never expected that when it appeared again, it would be to make him leave.
"Do we really have to leave?" Guan Xi didn't want to leave. He had stayed on this orc continent for so long that he felt he had forgotten about time.
He had long since developed feelings for this place. Although the orcs around him would disappear every year, in the eyes of the Beast God, no matter who it was, these orcs were his people. If he was not there, who would protect them?
The light and shadow flickered more violently, emanating his will: "Your bloodline power is growing stronger and stronger. If you don't leave, this orc continent simply cannot withstand the spiritual power within you."
"what do you mean?"
Guangying said with some helplessness, "You are the Beast God, the essence of the spiritual energy gathered on the Beastman Continent. As your bloodline power increases, you will unconsciously absorb the spiritual energy of this continent. If you don't leave, this continent simply cannot withstand such a strong consumption of spiritual energy and will deteriorate day by day."
"If you don't leave here, everything on this continent will slowly collapse, and everything you care about will disappear."
Upon hearing this, after Guangying finished speaking, the Beast God's hand, which was hanging by his side, tightened suddenly.
His brows slowly furrowed, his eyes filled with gloom. He scoffed, "If my existence is destined to absorb the spiritual energy of this continent, then why was I even born?"
Why, why tell him this only after he has developed feelings for this continent!
Is it because one side rises while the other falls, that he and this place are destined to be opposites?
If that's the case, then what's the point of his existence?
After he finished speaking, whether it was the Beast God's imagination or not, he felt that the light and shadow in front of him were radiating an aura of collapse.
"Why do not you speak?"
The light and shadow trembled with a look of utter despair. "This continent was originally created by me to nurture you. That is its purpose. Once your bloodline power reaches a certain level, this continent will naturally perish as well."
"Who knows what got into you, insisting on finding your own kind, so I had to use a bit of your blood to create them to keep you company." As he said this, Guangying seemed to think of something else strange, and then he became even more distraught.
What's going on? He felt that things were getting more and more out of control. Now, this continent had already developed a world consciousness and could no longer be destroyed casually. After the Beast God left, he would have to stay here and clean up the mess.
And that shadow!
Heaven knows how a single being could have two spiritual entities?!
He can't understand ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ
It seems like it takes so much effort to conceive a god!
If he had known it would turn out like this, he must have been out of his mind to want to create a god!
"So they were all created from my blood?" The Beast God stared at the light and shadow in disbelief.
The light and shadow moved up and down listlessly, having lost all strength.
"Is it only after I leave that they can continue to live?" The Beast God stared intently at it.
The light and shadow seemed to see a glimmer of hope and continued to tremble.
"I promise you, I'll leave."
Hearing him say that, Guangying finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought of another thorny issue, "You leave, but your shadow must remain."
"Why? He's my shadow! Wherever I go, he should be there too?!" The Beast God instinctively looked down, but to his shock, he didn't see Yingxi!
"Where did you put him?!"
"Don't get agitated, it's just that his consciousness has been temporarily blocked."
Light and Shadow had already anticipated his intense reaction. "Your shadow has developed self-awareness. Don't you want it to one day break free from you and become a true individual?"
As expected, the Beast God was moved after he finished speaking. Although Yingxi was his shadow, he already had consciousness. Would he one day not have to follow him around all the time and be able to go wherever he wanted?
Guanxi loves freedom and doesn't want to be bound by anyone. Does Yingxi also want freedom?
The light and shadow continued to coax, "I never thought your shadow would have self-awareness. Perhaps it was because your obsession was too strong that it came to life."
"If he is allowed to continue to grow on this orc continent for thousands of years, he might become another god."
