196: Chapter 196 Great God
Clink!
The teacup Nan Feng had just picked up fell to the ground once again.
At this moment, he looked as if he were constipated, his facial expression somewhat distorted.
"Does Fellow Daoist know what kind of existence a Daluo Golden Immortal is?"
Nan Feng felt that Lin Sheng only had such thoughts because he was unaware of the mighty power of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
He felt he needed to explain it to Lin Sheng so that the other party would dismiss this dangerous notion.
Otherwise, whether he himself could even leave this place would become an unknown.
"The emphasis of a Daluo Golden Immortal is not on 'Golden Immortal,' but on 'Daluo'."
"Although they cannot compare to a true 'Daluo,' they still contain a trace of Daluo's majesty."
"The so-called Golden Immortals can die, while Daluo Golden Immortals are immortal; that is the best proof."
"For a Daluo Golden Immortal, even 'Self-Transformation into the Dao' merely causes beings below the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal to forget His existence."
"As long as an existence of the same level still remembers that Daluo Golden Immortal, the other party can return from within the long river of time."
"Furthermore, this is only the most basic power of a Daluo Golden Immortal; their abilities go far beyond this..."
Lin Sheng admitted that the Daluo Golden Immortal described by Nan Feng did indeed shock him.
Although there were descriptions of Daluo Golden Immortals in the myths of his previous life, and modern novels pushed the strength of Daluo Golden Immortals to the peak...
Regardless, the conjectures of mortals and the personal account of a Taiyi Golden Immortal brought different feelings to Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng lowered his head in deep thought. Seeing this, Nan Feng nervously observed Lin Sheng's facial expressions from the side.
He worried Lin Sheng would recklessly charge in, but Lin Sheng's figure was merely a humanoid condensed from consciousness; it was impossible for Nan Feng to observe Lin Sheng's facial expressions.
After a moment, Lin Sheng raised his head.
He didn't mention hunting that Daluo Golden Immortal again, but he didn't say he was giving up either.
Lin Sheng raised his hand, and a "black line" appeared in his palm.
The black line looked very short and did not leave Lin Sheng's palm.
But in Nan Feng's eyes, that black line in Lin Sheng's hand was a "line" in the literal sense.
It possessed all the physical definitions of a "line," with both ends extending infinitely.
But no matter how this line extended, it could never leave Lin Sheng's palm.
This was true even though Lin Sheng's palm was currently only the size of an ordinary person's.
Suddenly, Nan Feng pointed at the black line in Lin Sheng's hand, his tone of voice carrying the emotion of "terror" for the first time.
"This is the 'Great Dao'! Is Fellow Daoist a Great God?"
Nan Feng's voice was filled with disbelief toward Lin Sheng, as well as a trace of fear toward the "Dao of Devouring" that Lin Sheng was using.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng withdrew the materialized "Devouring."
A few new terms had just popped out of Nan Feng's mouth.
Lin Sheng could understand the new term "Great Dao"; it should correspond to "Truth."
But the term "Great God" from Nan Feng's mouth puzzled Lin Sheng; it was likely a title unique to Nan Feng's world.
Out of curiosity, Lin Sheng asked him what realm a Great God was.
After Lin Sheng withdrew "Devouring," Nan Feng took several heavy breaths, finally managing to recover from the terror of "Devouring."
Regarding the question Lin Sheng posed, Nan Feng also provided an explanation.
"Fellow Daoist's guess is correct; 'Great God' is indeed a title unique to my world."
"A Great God is an existence that can use the Great Dao within their home world but is not a Daluo."
"Once a Great God leaves their home world, their strength will be greatly discounted."
"However, no matter how much a Great God's strength is weakened, their mighty power is still enough to suppress a Daluo Golden Immortal."
Hearing Nan Feng's description of a Great God, Lin Sheng couldn't help but mutter:
"This sounds a bit like a 'Saint'."
Although Lin Sheng's voice was small, with Nan Feng's abilities, he could still hear it.
After hearing the content of Lin Sheng's muttering clearly, Nan Feng's eyes lit up.
He spoke in surprise, seemingly not expecting Lin Sheng to know the title of "Saint":
"Fellow Daoist actually knows of Saints as well."
"To be honest, I have heard elders in my clan mention the titles other worlds have for Great Gods, and among them is the title 'Saint'."
"There really are Saints!"
Lin Sheng had only spoken casually, but he didn't expect Nan Feng to give him an affirmative answer.
This inevitably plunged Lin Sheng into shock once again.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Fellow Daoist Nan Feng, I wonder which Great Gods are in your world? Besides Great Gods, do Daluos exist?"
Hearing this, Nan Feng didn't think much of it.
After all, curiosity is the nature of intelligent beings. He simply assumed Lin Sheng was curious and said casually:
"I'm not sure exactly how many Great Gods there are. After all, such existences are not for me to speculate upon."
"However, I can tell Fellow Daoist about some of the more famous Great Gods."
"In my world, the most famous Great Gods are the 'Heavenly Emperor,' the 'Empress Wa,' and the 'Lord of Zhongshan'."
"As for whether my world has Daluos, I really don't know. After all, those of the Daluo level are not for the likes of us to speculate upon."
Lin Sheng: !
An unprecedented sense of shock flooded every part of Lin Sheng's body, but Nan Feng did not give Lin Sheng time to buffer.
His voice continued to drift into Lin Sheng's ears, causing Lin Sheng to slightly suppress the shock in his heart, intending to finish listening to Nan Feng first.
And while Nan Feng was recounting these three Great Gods, Lin Sheng could clearly feel that when mentioning "Empress Wa" and the "Heavenly Emperor," there was only reverence in Nan Feng's eyes.
But when mentioning the "Lord of Zhongshan," a touch of pride also appeared in Nan Feng's eyes.
What was going on?
Lin Sheng was somewhat puzzled, but before he could speak and ask, Nan Feng's next words directly answered the doubt in his heart.
"Does Fellow Daoist know the origin of my name?"
Nan Feng asked in return. Lin Sheng cooperated by shaking his head, indicating he didn't know.
Nan Feng was very pleased with Lin Sheng's reaction.
He cleared his throat and explained:
"According to the human way of speaking, my name is divided into a 'surname' and a 'given name'."
"'Nan' is the surname, and 'Feng' is the given name."
"And that 'Nan' surname in my name comes from the Lord of Zhongshan."
"Not just me, but all the dragons in the branch of the clan I belong to use 'Nan' as their surname."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng finally understood why Nan Feng was proud when mentioning the Lord of Zhongshan.
It turned out it was because his clan's name came from that person.
Although Lin Sheng didn't understand where this sense of pride came from, he showed respect for it.
Next, Nan Feng told Lin Sheng some more things about his world.
The more he heard, the more curious Lin Sheng became about Nan Feng's world.
So he decided that when he sent Nan Feng back, he would follow him to see that world for himself.
