Chapter 499 Past Events
The black giant deer seemed to sense the power emanating from the red light above its head, and it took a deep breath, somewhat intoxicated, "This familiar feeling..."
"It's just a pity that the flavor isn't pure enough..."
He lowered his head slightly, looking at it with the same disdain as if it were an ant on the ground. "You have no way of refining the power of the Holy Crystal fragment. Just give it to me..."
Shadow God spoke with absolute certainty, this was his real bargaining chip. After seeing the warriors of Beast City, he already knew that the Holy Crystal Fragments had never been used by Lin Baiyan, meaning they had never been baptized by the power of the Holy Crystal.
He glanced indifferently at the group of orcs below, noting that only a few of them possessed residual power from fragments of the Holy Crystal.
Lin Baiyan watched his body grow stronger, and silently put his hands behind his back, gripping them tightly. The Shadow God was right. Although he could use the Holy Crystal Fragments to sense things, he had no idea how to use the power of the Holy Crystal Fragments.
No, we can’t sit still and wait for death!
His fingertips dug deep into the flesh of his palm. "So who exactly are you? At least let us die knowing the truth."
The Shadow God smiled faintly. "What? Are you giving up?"
Lin Baiyan looked at him noncommittally.
The black giant deer tilted its head slightly. "You want to stall for time?"
Lin Baiyan's heart tightened, but he remained silent.
The black stag chuckled. "Fine," it thought, "at least he's an orc sent by that old man to deal with him. Let him die knowing why."
The red light in his pupils gradually blurred, as if he had returned to many, many, many years ago.
The continent of orcs thousands of years ago.
The mountains and ravines were scarred and desolate, the rivers were glacial and the land was empty and lifeless. As time passed, a life suddenly emerged from the violent collision of mountains and rivers.
As this strange life force gradually coalesced, the world seemed unwilling to let him be born in such a silent and decadent world.
As ravines slowly piled up, life gradually grew on the dry and barren land. When this life awoke from its nest, it saw towering forests, surging rivers and seas, and birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The Beast God didn't know why he was here. After waking up, he was filled with curiosity about this world. However, after exploring several times, he discovered that he was the only person in this place, and there was no one of his kind.
The surrounding area consisted of flowers, plants, wild animals, and birds, and the Beast God knew that they were not of the same kind as him.
Gradually, a profound emptiness enveloped his heart. The Beast God felt utterly lonely and decided to leave to find his kind.
However, he spent decades traveling all over the orc continent, but he never found another orc like himself. During this time, he could only talk to his shadow, and they stayed together day and night, inseparable.
The still-young beast god stared blankly at his own shadow on the ground, muttering, "Am I really all alone...?"
“But I’m so lonely, I only have you…” He reached out his finger as if to touch his shadow, but the Beast God did not notice that his shadow trembled slightly after hearing his words.
The Beast God continued his search thereafter.
The Beast God was formed from the rich spiritual energy of the entire Beastman Continent, and his shadow naturally carried some of the spiritual energy of the Beastman Continent as well. At some point, the Beast God was surprised to find that his shadow could resonate with him.
He touched the shadow on the ground with some curiosity, and it felt like touching another version of himself. "Can you really hear me?"
The shadows on the ground swayed slightly, as if expressing their joy.
It was as if he had truly become one of his own kind; he could hear the shadow's inner thoughts and communicate with it.
The Beast God looked at him with surprise and delight, "It really works! Then you'll be with me from now on."
After he finished speaking, the shadow swayed even more violently, as if in response to him.
Together they explored the entire orc continent, and then, thanks to the Beast God's relentless search, they found themselves back at the place where he was born.
The Beast God sat beneath the enormous ancient tree where he had first awakened, saying, "I've searched for so many years, but I haven't found anything."
He leaned against the tree trunk, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the sun overhead through the branches of the ancient tree. "So who am I, really?"
He had no name, no idea of his identity, and no idea where he came from. He opened his eyes and found himself in this place, but no one told him what the meaning of his existence was.
He raised his fingers to shield the gloom in his eyes. He had lived a quiet and lonely life all these years, and he had long lost the cheerful and innocent look he had when he was first born.
The shadow on the ground seemed to sense the Beast God's low and gloomy mood, and it swayed so much that ripples appeared on its surface.
The Beast God clenched his fist and slammed it heavily into the ground. "Why?!"
Just then, a stone appeared out of thin air in his hand, and the Beast God's fist slammed straight into the stone, instantly causing his knuckles to bleed profusely.
The Beast God winced in pain and moved his finger away, only to find, to his astonishment, that the originally dull gray stone had suddenly become radiant after being stained with his blood.
After the intense light, the Beast God felt his whole body go limp, as if all his strength had been drained away, and he lost all consciousness within a few breaths.
When he woke up again under the ancient tree, he found that everything in the world seemed to have changed.
