Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 989 - 439: The Origins of the Three Gods, the Disappearance of the Eternal Venerable God Within Subspace! (Part 2)

"Tomorrow, I shall summon you both to assemble all current intelligence within the Star River and present it to me."

Su Tu's voice lightly resonated.

The two brothers, treating it as an utmost crucial task, immediately dropped to their knees, striking their chests with their fists and uttering a single word: "Yes!"

Su Tu observed this, then softly stated.

"One hundred and seventy-two individuals; you have managed to cultivate so many followers at the headquarters. Truly, you have been quite diligent."

This number of followers might not seem substantial, but it must be recognized that this is not an ordinary locale. This is the very heart of the Three Deceits Cult's dominion, operating under the watchful gaze of Chen Yuan and the Archbishop. To amass over a hundred followers here is no simple feat.

It is indeed exceedingly difficult, especially since the Hua Family brothers lack the inherent ability of Young Xue Yue to instantly sway allegiances.

These two have certainly toiled like laborers. However, once they embraced the Three Deceits Cult, their hands became stained with the blood and the lamentations of countless innocent lives. The ultimate destiny for all adherents of the Three Deceits Cult is but a single, inevitable end...

"May the Star River remain devoid of any major upheavals,"

Su Tu gently massaged his temples.

He currently finds himself completely detached from the external world and is in urgent need of outside information, relying entirely on the Hua Family brothers for this purpose.

The World Light has meticulously orchestrated various arrangements within the True King Competition, and their ultimate objective must undoubtedly center on this Star River. They are certain to take actions that will impact it.

Su Tu harbors a profound curiosity regarding the precise intentions of this peculiar entity.

His current physical form is exceptionally strange; it is a manifestation composed of faith, possessing substance yet completely devoid of his Martial Arts Cultivation. However, the clarity of his Heart and Spirit has intensified.

Furthermore, a more potent connection has been forged with the divine anomalies residing within his own universe. If he so desires, he can summon these anomalies instantly, merging with them to wield extraordinary abilities.

Coupled with the immense reservoir of faith he has absorbed into his being, even Chen Yuan, if caught off guard, would sustain a significant, unforeseen detriment.

In essence, in this current state, Su Tu is not merely powerful, but possesses an almost preposterous level of strength.

Setting aside the absence of the seven emotions and desires, the combat prowess of this body is fully comparable to his former self, even surpassing it in certain aspects.

"Perhaps evolving in such a condition is not entirely disadvantageous..."

A transient thought surfaced in Su Tu's mind, yet he quickly suppressed it.

"When the heart is strong, it breeds its own notions. The accumulation of faith within me is far too vast, engendering an abundance of chaotic thoughts that give rise to such ideas."

Su Tu mused, supporting his forehead with one hand.

Subsequently, he focused his Heart and Spirit, initiating an internal introspection. His current True Spirit was birthed from utilizing faith as an anchor amidst all existence, while his physical vessel was annihilated by the Divine Son.

Although his consciousness remains Su Tu's own, this body is undeniably a reflection derived from the residual True Spirit of the Muddy World Divine Son.

Su Tu intends to leverage this very body to uncover the esoteric secrets of the Three Gods.

The very existence of the Three Gods is profoundly enigmatic. The deities of this world have long since departed, and it is not yet their time for return, yet the Three Gods manifest themselves.

Su Tu had previously theorized that the Three Gods might be extradimensional malevolent entities. However, those exceptionally powerful evil gods are bound by certain unyielding rules; even formidable beings like Mo Mei are incapable of venturing beyond the Subspace.

Therefore, the true nature of the Three Gods has perpetually been a subject of Su Tu's intense contemplation.

Now presents the ideal opportunity for investigation.

Su Tu delved into an examination of his own physical form. Its internal architecture bore no discernible difference from that of a typical human being, with all organs intact and blood vessels meticulously arranged.

Had one been unaware that this was a vessel conjured by the Muddy World Divine Son, Su Tu himself might have mistaken it for the body of an ordinary human child.

So utterly ordinary, and it is precisely this profound ordinariness that causes Su Tu to sense an underlying peculiarity.

For the physical manifestation of a divine reflection, even the slightest anomaly would not be unexpected. However, its complete lack of distinction is precisely what should incite wariness.

"Little Xue Yue..."

Su Tu's Heart Thought stirred, and the endearing, ethereal image of little Xue Yue materialized.

"This body is a manifestation derived from the Muddy World Divine Son; can you perceive any abnormalities within it?"

Su Tu inquired softly.

An inexplicable connection has always existed between little Xue Yue and the Three Gods. He consistently proclaims that the Three Gods are mere sustenance, and he alone is the True God.

Anomalies themselves are merely representations or imprints of certain entities.

Su Tu surmised that little Xue Yue's true essence must be that of an exceedingly terrifying being, intricately linked to the Three Deceitful Gods. Perhaps it possesses the capability to discern something significant.

Upon hearing Su Tu's question, little Xue Yue's entire form suddenly quivered, its once-adorable diminutive body trembling slightly.

In the ensuing moment...

Twisting moonlight, filled with an eerie quality, warped space, an illusionary distortion within the Heart and Spirit, perceptible only to Su Tu, not reflecting true reality.

Amidst this distorted moonlight, little Xue Yue’s form began to expand, morphing into a terrifying ‘anomaly’ shrouded in a bloody glow. The moonlight itself seemed alive, surging and howling like ravenous demons eager to consume everything in sight.

Soft murmurs emanated, uttering three ancient and complex syllables.

As these sounds reached Su Tu’s ears, they translated into human language.

"Traitor!!"

"Ant!!!"

"Betrayer!!"

With the pronouncement of these three words.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Su Tu felt an intense heat bloom in his chest. His ordinary heart was suddenly covered in intricate, unseen patterns.

Concurrently, strange characters materialized ceaselessly in the void,

seemingly activating some form of resonance.

Little Xue Yue appeared even more agitated, but before it could act further…

Whoosh~

As if a limit had been reached, the crimson moonlight started to recede. The figure reverted to its original size, extending a small, adorable hand as if trying to grasp something.

However, its efforts were in vain, transforming into wisps of Heart and Spirit Light that vanished back into the void.

Su Tu understood: this was little Xue Yue expending its own power, now returning to its own universe to recover.

Nevertheless, his objective had been met.

Little Xue Yue had indeed revealed the extraordinary nature of this body. The power was both twisted and pure, eerie yet sacred, stirring a sense of inexplicable familiarity within Su Tu.

This feels like...

Consulting his past memories, Su Tu searched his mind, finally pinpointing the origin of this power...

Subspace!!

Indeed, this power—chaotic yet orderly, terrifyingly eerie yet infinitely sacred—was it truly the force from the cosmic dark side, the wellspring of all beginnings?

"It appears my deductions were accurate; the Three Deceitful Gods are indeed connected to Subspace,"

Su Tu mused, then directed his Heart and Spirit to carefully probe the power residing in his own heart.

The instant his Heart and Spirit made contact with that force...

Buzz!!

Buzz buzz buzz!!

Su Tu experienced a momentary disorientation before abruptly looking around.

The magnificent hall before him had vanished, replaced by countless chaotic sources, myriad crimson threads...

These are origins!! Within the slumbering origin of the Eternal Venerable God.

Which means...

Su Tu had arrived in Subspace!!!

A mere touch had transported Su Tu to Subspace, a fact that initially surprised him, though he quickly regained his composure.

If the Three Gods indeed originated from Subspace, then a Divine Son’s body resonating with Subspace power was not entirely unexpected.

Logically, however, he should have materialized within the origins of the Three Gods, not within his self-created Eternal Venerable God construct...

It seems there are hidden truths he has yet to uncover.

Su Tu’s gaze swept across his surroundings. Despite his momentary astonishment, he reconfirmed his observations, his eyes deepening with thought.

The Eternal Venerable God, placed within Subspace for slumber and awaiting the origin’s hatching, intended for Subspace exploration… had vanished!!

In essence, the Eternal Venerable God was merely a ‘virtual construct’ created by Su Tu, lacking any independent consciousness and solely acting on his commands.

The current situation was akin to a game avatar glitching off-screen and disappearing autonomously...

As Su Tu pondered the mysterious disappearance of the Eternal Venerable God.

Within that peculiar space situated on the strange tree, enveloped by innumerable forces, a youthful figure stood. He opened his eyes once more, his pitch-black irises now tinged with scarlet, as if sensing something profound.
