638: The origin of the Beast God!

Lin Xin continued,

"Legend has it that when the Netherworld was first created, the beast god was formed from the very first wisp of the world's Origin Beast Qi. It is the origin of all beasts and the end of all Bloodlines! The Nine Great Nether Beasts are its nine offspring!"

"However, as far back as untraceable eras, the beast god completely disappeared and never appeared again. Over time, the world only knew of the Nine Great Nether Beasts, having long forgotten the existence of the beast god..."

"Even for a power with a long Legacy like our Cang Kong City, not even a single shred of information regarding the beast god can be found within our vast collection of ancient records!"

"I'm afraid that only within those three major powers, in their core ancient records, would there be even a tiny bit of documentation..."

You Mingcheng asked,

"Vice City Lord Lin, then how did you learn of this news?"

At this point, Lin Xin looked at You Mingcheng, his expression complex to the extreme.

"When I was young, I traveled everywhere. Once, I accidentally entered an Ancient Forbidden Land and stumbled into a Formation. Within that Formation, I saw a blurred mural on a crumbling stone wall."

"That mural depicted nine giant beasts of various forms, all bowing down in worship toward a supreme existence whose face could not be seen!"

"From then on, I began to suspect whether there was a creature whose Bloodline stood above the Nine Great Nether Beasts!"

"Following the clues, I finally learned of the legend of the beast god, but I was always somewhat uncertain."

"Until today, hearing your description of that Altar, First Highness, I finally dare to be certain!"

"That Altar uses the Dharma Idols of the Nine Great Nether Beasts as guardians; whatever is sealed or enshrined inside must be something related to the beast god!"

Boom!

Lin Xin's words were like successive claps of thunder exploding in You Mingcheng's mind!

A look of dazed bewilderment appeared on his face.

He never imagined that his Ninth Brother could actually find such a Heaven-Defying, peerless Opportunity!

Most importantly, it seemed like he was the one who helped Ninth Brother find it?

Did he have such Luck?

The beast god!

That was the ancestor of the Nine Great Nether Beasts!

Just from Vice City Lord Lin's description, he could imagine what a magnificent and invincible existence that was!

The beast god was a supreme existence that only existed in the oldest legends, the source of all Nether Beasts in the Netherworld.

Its power was enough to split the heavens and create all things! It could also destroy all things!

An Opportunity related to the beast god... even if it were just a tiny shred, it would be enough to drive anyone mad!

At this moment, an uncontrollable surge of wild joy and worry began to grow frantically in the depths of his heart!

The joy was that his Ninth Brother could find such an Opportunity; the worry was that this matter had already been spread... The two looked at each other in silence, with only the sound of heavy breathing echoing in the quiet hall.

After a long time, Lin Xin slowly sat down. He looked at the newly ascended power-holder before him and spoke word by word.

"First Highness... how should this matter be handled?"

You Mingcheng looked up. He instinctively tried to transmit this news to his father, but when his Divine Thought was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without the slightest response.

You Mingcheng felt a sudden wave of disappointment. As expected, his father had entered Secluded Meditation and was no longer accepting external transmissions... At his father's Realm, when breaking through a Bottleneck, one must be completely focused. Even a slight distraction could lead to eternal damnation!

He did not dare to forcibly wake his father. If anything went wrong, then the entire Cang Kong City would truly be finished.

An unprecedented sense of anxiety instantly gripped You Mingcheng's heart.

This was not just the responsibility brought by his status as the heir to the City Lord of Cangkong!

It was also the instinctive awe and extreme desire that a creature of the Netherworld felt toward the supreme power contained within the name 'beast god'!

This treasure was simply too precious, far exceeding his psychological expectations.

One had to know, why were those Three Transcendent Powers able to stand above the world?

Wasn't it because they had each summoned a living Nether Beast?

That was the foundation of their foothold in the Netherworld, one of their trump cards for suppressing the Luck of their sect and suppressing everything!

Now, their Cang Kong City had actually discovered the whereabouts of the beast god?!

Regardless of what was actually sealed inside, as long as it was related to the beast god, it was an earth-shattering object enough to make the entire Netherworld tremble!

Once the news leaked, the entire Netherworld would go mad. The Three Transcendent Powers, and even those old monsters living in seclusion, would stop at nothing to fight for it.

At this very moment, a strong sense of regret suddenly rose in his heart.

He regretted informing Vice City Lord Lin of this matter.

The human heart is unpredictable!

Although Lin Xin had always been his most trusted person, in the face of a temptation like the beast god's Legacy which could change the landscape of the Netherworld, who could guarantee they wouldn't have a change of heart?

He didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford to.

However, the words had already been spoken; it was impossible to take them back.

Without showing any emotion, he said to Lin Xin in an extremely solemn tone:

"Vice City Lord Lin, I have already reported this matter to my father. He hasn't responded yet, but this matter must never be leaked!"

"Otherwise, Cang Kong City will surely face a catastrophe! Those three major powers won't let us off; everyone will die then!"

He deliberately pushed the stakes to the extreme and brought up his father to pressure Lin Xin, staring straight into Lin Xin's eyes.

Lin Xin looked at the First Highness's gaze and knew this was the First Highness's warning to him.

The First Highness continued:

"The best outcome is for our Cang Kong City to operate in the shadows to obtain the items inside. Whatever is within that Altar will surely allow our Cang Kong City to rise!"

"With something from the beast god, our Cang Kong City might even surpass those three major powers!"

Lin Xin naturally understood the gravity of the situation and nodded with an extremely serious expression.

He was clear that once this news leaked, not only would Cang Kong City face catastrophe, but he, Lin Xin, would also become a target for everyone, with no place to be buried.

If nothing else, if such a thing were exposed, the City Lord would surely be forcibly awakened, and the first to die would be him.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and greed in his heart, and promised in a low voice:

"Rest assured, Your Highness. I, Lin, swear upon my Dao Heart that this matter will never be leaked by a single word! I can still distinguish the stakes involved."

Hearing this, You Mingcheng's hanging heart finally relaxed a little. He continued to ask:

"Vice City Lord Lin, what exactly is the origin of that beast god Altar? How can it be opened to obtain the treasures inside?!"

Lin Xin's mind recalled the memories of tracking down ancient clues related to the beast god, along with the fragmented records he had occasionally flipped through.

Combining them with the intelligence regarding the Altar he received this time, he pieced them together perfectly.
