Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 874 Butterfly, Dragon, Symbol
"Mythical Beast Dream Butterfly!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. No wonder he built this sky garden; it was indeed out of hobby.

Moreover, the entire rooftop garden is not professionally maintained; it's possible that when no one is around, the other party might revert to its original form and dance gracefully in the garden.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Yunhe instantly had a vivid image in his mind.

The entire Hanging Gardens and the kingdom below were also cultivating food for the goddess of flowers.

As for the Myriad Flower Brew, although butterflies don't collect nectar, the process of sucking nectar is almost the same, and it's even less difficult for demigods.

"It is clearly a butterfly, but it calls itself the goddess of flowers, which is quite misleading."

Lu Yunhe thought to himself, he thought the other party was a flower fairy who could release illusions or something, but he didn't expect that the real body was a butterfly.

Dream Butterfly, who leans towards the pulse of dreams, and the Dark Illusion Dragon, who leans towards the path of illusion, and finally, the master of dreams, Modius.

"The Trinity: if any one of the divine beasts devours the other two, it can greatly replenish its own essence, and may even take this opportunity to change to another profession."

After all, in the realm of dreams, there is already a true god, the God of Dreams.

Rather than directly confronting a true god, it's better to take this opportunity to switch to another career path.

This tendency has already begun to emerge in the Flower Goddess; she has accumulated considerable talent in dreams, illusions, and death.

Whether for the Flower Goddess or the Netherworld Dragon, devouring each other allows them to get closer to the ultimate path of their own origin.

If they could devour Modiwus, they would undergo another qualitative change, completely replenishing themselves, and they could choose any god-level profession in the game.

For the mythical beast Modius, consuming the Dream Butterfly and the Netherworld Dragon not only replenishes the essence of two different professions but also allows it to absorb their respective professions, making it an incredibly beneficial experience.

With the mythical beast at the center, uniting the Dream and Illusion lineages, we can now attempt to open the door to the true god.

Most importantly, the range of choices will be greatly increased.

This must be a great gift prepared by the primordial will for the three innate divine beasts. They devoured and fought each other, eventually raising a "true dragon," just like that world beast.

The intertwining of the fundamental principles and the manifestation of the professional path lead to a struggle over the ultimate truth. It seems like there is a choice, but in reality, there is no choice at all.

Unless some of them have simply transcended the constraints of their innate identities, fighting each other is definitely the most advantageous option for them.

Therefore, the moment the Flower Goddess saw Lu Yunhe, she had already made her choice: to devour him.

"The Mythical Beast - Modius!"

The Flower Goddess murmured, indeed, it was a divine beast that was closer to the primordial Dao than she and the Netherworld Dragon.

If she could devour it and accept everything from it, and then combine that with the Netherworld Dragon in her hand, the Flower Goddess would have some confidence in challenging for the position of True God.

Although every demigod is incredibly close to becoming a true god, only one step away, that one step stands before all demigods like a divine punishment.

Qualities, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable!

"However, it still doesn't explain why he is so powerful, so abnormally powerful."

The Goddess of Flowers couldn't help but ask, "Skyward, are you a demigod, or...?"

"I just became a Legendary Realm expert!" Lu Yunhe said. There was no point in hiding it; he was indeed a Legendary Realm professional.

Upon confirming the answer once again, the Flower Goddess couldn't help but be stunned.

What kind of legendary realm expert could crush her, a demigod, and even suppress an entire kingdom with commands? The Flower Goddess absolutely refused to believe that the other party was merely a legendary realm professional; there must be an even more unimaginable identity behind him.

However, the Flower Goddess did not press the matter, after all, she was now just a prisoner.

However, if the opponent is only at the Legendary Realm, she might be able to live a little longer.

After all, only at the demigod stage can the full benefits be extracted from her and the Netherworld Dragon, so they probably won't be in a hurry to kill her.

"When are you planning to kill me?" The Flower Goddess asked calmly, as if she wanted to know when she would die.

She had already made preparations, and since the other party kept their promise and released her people, the Flower Goddess naturally had nothing more to ask for.

"When did I say I was going to kill you?" Lu Yunhe retorted.

This is a demigod with the potential to become a true god. It would be such a waste to kill him so easily.

Every highly skilled professional is precious to Lu Yunhe, and he would not easily send them to their deaths.

Even if it means death, we must squeeze every last drop of value out of them.

Although there is no fundamental path to knowledge at present, Lu Yunhe has no intention of giving up on cultivating this path.

Compared to other fundamental paths, the path of knowledge clearly requires a higher level of collective strength.

The fact that the Flower Goddess was able to defeat the Netherworld Dragon and advance further in the Path of Dreams indicates that she has good aptitude in this path.

There are already very few professionals in the Path of Dreams, and even fewer who can reach the level of demigod. Those qualified to challenge for the position of true god are even fewer.

Having finally come across one, how could Lu Yunhe possibly waste it?

To some extent, Lu Yunhe's interests are aligned with those of the Origin Will; both hope that more advanced professionals will emerge, allowing the Origin Way to flourish.

"what!"

Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's words, the Flower Goddess was immediately dumbfounded, and her originally calm and composed face instantly stiffened.

She was prepared to die, but she never expected that the other party had no intention of killing her.

As for whether it was a lie? As a demigod, she has the ability to discern this.

"Then...then..."

The Flower Goddess was almost out of breath, and her recently recovered primordial power was also boiling. This rollercoaster-like experience was just too steep, almost like the world had turned upside down.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have...

No, if they didn't fight, she probably wouldn't trust the other party, and it would be impossible for them to sit here and have a proper conversation.

When she encountered the demigod Minghuan, the two hesitated for only a moment before engaging in a fierce battle. In the end, she was more skilled and not only killed him but also turned the corpse of Minghuan Dragon into her puppet.

The only regret is that he did not inherit all the legacy of the Dark Illusion Demigod.

Therefore, upon discovering a new mythical beast, especially one that appeared directly in her own base camp, the Flower Goddess acted without hesitation.

In the struggle for the Dao, it has always been a matter of life and death, showing no mercy whatsoever.

No demigod could resist the temptation to become a true god.

Unless one is a born saint or a good person who is unwilling to break their moral compass, and most importantly, both parties must be like that, the outcome will be similar.

After all, you are a saint, willing to let the other party go, but that doesn't mean the other party is willing to let you go. In the end, you will still fight, and it will still be a fight to the death.

"Killing someone is unnecessary!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the Netherworld Dragon before him; he too had received the inheritance of the Netherworld Demigod.

Although his talent was average, he followed the path of illusion, which gave him some advantage over him. It was indeed a pity that he died like this, especially since he had been dead for far too long, making resurrection impossible.

In fact, the demigod of the Underworld is no worse than the Goddess of Flowers, except that the latter has some advantage over the former in the Path of Illusion.

This slight difference can be enough to determine life or death in battle.

However, since he died, it means he was still inferior to the Flower Goddess, and luck is also a part of self-control.

“Not only will I not kill you, I will even help you take the position of True God,” Lu Yunhe said earnestly.

Just as the Lord of Hunyuan would value cultivators with the potential to reach the ultimate realm of the Origin Dao, Lu Yunhe would also pay attention to those with the potential to become Cosmic Gods of the Origin Dao.

If it were simply a matter of meeting the required strength, it would be quite simple for Lu Yunhe; he has plenty of ways to create beings comparable to cosmic gods.

The simplest is the divine body secret technique, or the heaven-defying primordial bloodline.

However, if it's the original Dao, Lu Yunhe is powerless to help and can only play a supporting role.

As for cultivating a Primordial Dao Ultimate Realm expert, even a Primordial Lord can only play a supporting role; they can't let a fool comprehend the Ultimate Dao.

The son of a certain Hunyuan lord, who had cultivated for countless years and even been taken to another Origin World to broaden his horizons, was nothing more than a Void True God.

"Help me become a true god!"

The Flower Goddess was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time she had ever heard such words from someone else, words that no one would dare to imagine even if they racked their brains.

"Could the other party be a born sage?" the Flower Goddess wondered.

However, even a great sage would not do something like "voluntarily" cutting off his own flesh to feed an eagle.

"What exactly is your purpose?" The Flower Goddess kept pondering the inherited memories in her mind, but still came up empty-handed, without any information about the Sky Tower.

Not only that, there is not even any information about the mythical beast, Modius.

"Purpose?" Lu Yunhe chuckled. "I hope that all professionals in the world can become true gods."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the Flower Goddess burst into laughter. Since the beginning of the world, there have been countless eras, and there are currently no more than a thousand true gods. Even if you include the Abyss Demon Gods, the number does not exceed two thousand.

This number is even less than the number of legendary figures under her command.

To call this goal a delusion would be an understatement.

"Are they planning to make me take the blame? Or will they reap the rewards at the crucial moment? Or are they using tactics to keep me in check?" Flower Goddess couldn't help but wonder.

Besides that, she really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Seeing the Flower Goddess's incredulous expression, Lu Yunhe was not surprised, after all, what he said was indeed a bit exaggerated.

But if a massive number of true gods were to emerge, that would indeed be something to be happy about.

"Becoming a true god is not so easy. Although I killed Minghuan, I still have no confidence at all." The Flower Goddess gently walked to Lu Yunhe's side and stroked the dead Minghuan dragon in front of her.

Although she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, she could foresee that her life should be safe for the time being.

"But the fact that you were able to kill Minghuan shows that you have gone further than it on the path of dreams."

It's unwise to focus solely on the outcome, but since the deed has already been done, there's no point in saying more.

"So how do you plan to help me?" the Flower Goddess asked curiously.

Since they want to help her become a true god, it certainly won't be empty talk. Not to mention her current state, even if she recovers, she'll still be a long way from becoming a true god.

“Although it ultimately depends on yourself, the primordial will does provide a path.” Lu Yunhe shifted his gaze to the Flower Goddess beside him.

Having spent years here, the latter also faintly exudes a strange body fragrance, whether acquired or innate, it is unknown.

"The primordial will?"

The Flower Goddess seemed somewhat bewildered, clearly indicating that she was still a long way from comprehending the fundamental will of the Origin World.

"Dream, Illusion, Fantasy, the origin of the three divine beasts and the inheritance of professions."

Lu Yunhe looked at the Flower Goddess, and a dreamlike inheritance crystal appeared in his hand.

"This is the legacy of Minghuan!"

Lu Yunhe handed the inheritance crystal to the Flower Goddess, who was somewhat shocked as she received the inheritance information through her divine power.

"It turned out to be true!"

The Flower Goddess opened her lips. The contents of the inheritance crystal were true. After all, she had studied the corpse of the Netherworld Demigod and could easily distinguish it.

So it seems we can believe more of what the other person just said.

"Aren't you afraid that once I recover, I'll just take the inheritance and run away?"

The Flower Goddess suddenly realized that, up to this point, the other party did not seem to have imposed any real restrictions on her.

Although it was a short time, the Flower Goddess recovered some of her power, enough to support her in unleashing demigod-level power a few times.

It was only after realizing the restoration of her own strength that the Flower Goddess gradually gained the confidence to engage in dialogue.

"So, are you going to run away?" Lu Yunhe asked in return.

Upon hearing this, the Flower Goddess looked at the inheritance crystal in her hand and shook her head helplessly.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!

Now that the truth is out there, and there's no need for her to die, why should she run away?
Moreover, the goddess of flowers was genuinely curious about the words from the god of the sky that would help her become a true god.

"Please, Your Majesty, help me!" the Flower Goddess said without hesitation.

"Haha, transform!"

Lu Yunhe laughed loudly, and the source hidden within his body suddenly spread out. His original human form instantly transformed into the appearance of a dreamlike divine beast.

With a silver metallic period and core, it is further enhanced with wings that look like the symbol "∞".

Although his form looked incredibly strange, lacking any conventional biological shape, Lu Yunhe was undoubtedly filled with a dreamlike beauty, as if he were the embodiment of the primordial Dao.

If an ordinary person stood in front of him, they might even see what they consider beautiful in their own heart.

"Modiwus!"

The Flower Goddess spoke, then spread her hands, which also transformed into a purple butterfly.

Purple butterflies danced gracefully around the strange symbol, making the surrounding flowers even more vibrant.

The long-dead Netherworld Dragon moved involuntarily, protecting Dream Butterfly and Modius beside it.

In an instant, the three fundamental forces of dream, illusion, and fantasy began to intertwine and shine.
