Chapter 956: Chapter 423: Ascenders to Divinity of the Human Race Through the Ages?!

For some reason, he became a part of this cycle and can preserve his memory through countless iterations.

This is a time more ancient than ancient itself, and everything the World Light has experienced in these cycles is beyond Su Tu’s imagination.

It’s like a game that never updates, and World Light is the player trapped within it; he should already know every change, any major or minor event in this cycle.

Only in this way could such immense fatigue accumulate within him.

World Light has never rested through the countless cycles, continually taking action for some reason.

"What is he striving for? If my speculation is correct, then this Star River holds no secrets for him; leading the Void Spirits back shouldn’t be difficult."

"But he hasn’t done so, clearly restoring Void Spirits to Star River species is not his goal. What on earth is he trying to do?"

Su Tu’s expression was uncertain.

Under Inference of Heaven, all is clear; before Inference of Heaven, Su Tu almost penetrates the thoughts of most people in this world, yet he cannot see through World Light, who is shrouded in endless mist.

Everything that fellow displayed—joy, anger, sorrow, and excitement—even the rage of that black flame earlier, gave Su Tu a sense of ’nothingness,’ as though all emotions were fabricated.

Only the sliver of memory he illuminated is true.

Though it’s unclear what World Light intends to do, if it’s indeed as Su Tu thinks, with World Light preserving memory through countless cycles, his strength and strategy are bound to be unimaginable.

His schemes are certainly extraordinary.

"The Throne!!"

Su Tu suddenly spoke.

World Light is determined to claim the Blood Throne, even appearing here just to take the seat; this throne must be connected to his plot.

The final cycle is about to end; the enmity between Void Spirits and ’Void Spirits’ is irreconcilable.

He does not know what World Light intends, but if he succeeds, the Human Race’s fate might be even more tragic than when they first stepped out of the Star River.

This is a result Su Tu absolutely cannot accept.

Therefore...

"Sorry, I don’t know your purpose or plot, nor do I understand how despairing it is to preserve memory through repeated cycles, but this throne, you shall not sit upon it."

"It’s mine!!"

Su Tu spoke to himself; his voice wasn’t intense but very calm.

Calmly as if stating a fact.

And at this moment, his eyes moved slightly, as if sensing something.

In a sudden flicker, he arrived at a location amid blood mist and struck out with a punch, dispersing the blood mist.

Immediately, a white skeleton appeared before Su Tu’s eyes, entirely devoid of flesh, pristine as jade.

At a glance, it was obvious this was a human skeleton.

The skeleton lay on the ground, its arm extended, pointing in a direction as if guiding those who come after.

Su Tu guessed this was a participant from the past True King Competition, leaving his final guidance upon death.

He regarded the skeleton with a complex look, nodding slightly in respect; any small kindness is like a sparkling star, worth Su Tu’s respect.

And at the moment of nodding, Su Tu noticed a line of Chinese characters hidden beside the skeleton, the characters were very small, requiring Su Tu to inspect closely.

Eight tiny characters etched with traces of dried blood on the ground.

The throne is a trap, the Human Race must not sit...

These words were written in great haste, especially the last word ’sit,’ only half written.

Seeing these eight characters, Su Tu frowned deeply.

Originally thought this senior was lost in the blood mist searching for the throne, but now it seems this senior was escaping from the throne.

But... in every past True King Competition, no human ever reached the end, let alone touched the throne...

Could it be....

"The last cycle’s... Human Race prodigy!!"

Su Tu looked at the remains, and in his mind, Beiji’s words about the cycle lingered, hinting at the rotation of cycles.

This scenery is not exclusive....

This senior’s remains likely belong to a predecessor who reached the end in the last cycle.

This is not surprising; World Light has mentioned more than once how this space is different from the outside, and he seems to be allowing the Human Race toward the throne.

Just earlier, while blocking prodigies outside for slaughter, he allowed the Human Race inside.

The nonsense about considering Su Tu’s face is total rubbish; Su Tu doesn’t believe a word of it.

Given that he might have preserved memory through endless cycles, the information and intelligence he holds far exceed Su Tu’s.

If this is true, what he said and did earlier was all to have Su Tu compete for the throne with him, and the ultimate goal was to make Su Tu sit on the throne!!

Though merely a guess, combining the words on the ground with World Light’s behavior, it’s not impossible.

Considering this, Su Tu respectfully performed a junior salute to the remains; although during the cycle, these remains may not have been older than himself, from a cyclical viewpoint, they can be considered predecessors.

And even in death, not forgetting to warn the Human Race, this spirit commands Su Tu’s high regard.

Furthermore, given where these words were located, had Su Tu proceeded without pause earlier, he likely wouldn’t have seen this line of tiny characters.

Standing upright afterward, Su Tu didn’t hesitate and began walking in the direction the skeleton pointed.

He still needs to see with his own eyes to understand what’s happening; already at this stage, it’s too late to turn back.

Walking forward, blood mist piled up ahead; Su Tu tried punching out to suppress the blood mist, but this time the mist remained entirely still.

Watching the motionless blood mist, Su Tu pondered briefly, then walked straight into the mist.

In the next moment, a never-before-walked passage appeared before him.

At the entrance of the passage, yet another jade-like skeleton sat cross-legged on the ground, one hand drooping like the previous skeleton, pointing in a direction.

Su Tu was taken aback, again sensing continuity.

Initially believing only that senior’s remains had been left, now it’s far more intricate.

Judging by this skeleton’s condition, it should be the same as that senior, belonging to an earlier cycle of the Human Race.

A bold thought formed in Su Tu’s mind.

"Could it be that all past individuals reaching the end have become skeletons, breaking free of the cycle, eternally remaining on this path?"

With this thought, Su Tu strode up to the skeleton.

Stooping slightly to look, sure enough, a line of words was hidden beneath this skeleton as well.

Yet compared to the previous person’s grace, this one was much more straightforward.

They left a simple, clear message.

The seat was nearly taken, half a step from Ascension to Divinity, but got kicked off, damn embarrassing!

This sentence written with strength clearly exhibited this person’s tough character.

Even at the moment of death, that indignant spirit remained unyielding.

However, there lies a paradox—the first person said the throne is a trap, the Human Race must not sit, while this one regretted not competing successfully for the throne.

These are entirely different narratives.

Su Tu remained silent, assuming the courtesy of respect, and then proceeded according to the direction the skeleton’s arm pointed.

At the end of this passage, yet another skeleton appeared.

This time, the skeleton marked its words with a special force on the blood mist.

Only a solitary, chaotic word.

Run!!!

Continuing forward, Su Tu encountered skeleton after skeleton guiding the way, alongside seeing inscriptions repeatedly.

"Kill Kill Kill!! The Human Race misses just one god, yesterday’s tragedy must not be repeated!!"

"Those who follow, escape quickly; Ascension to Divinity is a trap!!"

"Hahahahaha!! Dreadfully thrilling, disappointing in not ascending divinity, but seeing gods, it turns out so-called gods are just so!"

"Escape!! Escape back, tell the Human Race to return to the ancestral land, do not leave Star River, all races are enemies!"

"Hate!! Hate my weakness, the divine personality descends, yet cannot sustain!"

"Do not advance further...."
