Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2785: Chapter 570: Ancient Tales, Mythical Origins, Secrets of the Insects!

"Because they are born strong by the primordial spirit’s creation, in essence, they are the same beings as those Nether Emperors or powerful demons. They are not absolute belief constructs, and for them, belief is not essential.

Without belief, they might weaken, but not to the point of death. If one must say there exists such a life form as ’God,’ the Star God is the True God.

Nowadays, those beings are merely Fake Gods. However, the Star God has now been reduced in many people’s mouths to ’Old Gods’ or ’Ancient Gods,’ and in the eyes of some of the astral world’s orthodox gods, is even seen as ’evil gods’ and ’outer gods.’

Upon hearing this, Levi’s heart was unable to calm for a long time. He always felt that something was off about the current gods of the astral world and did not expect that they weren’t native to the astral world at all. The existence he communicates with through the ’Rune Language’ is the True God.

In a certain sense, this is the belief state Levi finds appropriate. I follow your path of belief, you bestow blessings upon me.

But if I do not believe, it’s no big deal. You won’t do anything to me. It’s not like forcing belief, coercion!

It seems the already extinct Starforger Civilization was a civilization that believed in star beasts, possibly even the last one. In Levi’s subsequent research and investigation, including travels through multidimensional planes, he never again found traces of star beasts.

The ’Rune Language’ he mastered might be one of the few ways to communicate with star beasts, and he might find it useful later, so he must continue cultivation.

If he could connect with these entities and then invent and research a more simplified way to communicate beliefs than the ’Language of Stars’ and ’Rune Language,’ it would be beneficial to Nora.

In short, this is optional rather than mandatory.

In a word, believe it or not!

Levi sighed and attempted to ask:

"Senior, do you know the whereabouts of the star beasts?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"I don’t know either, the universe is so vast, some existences find special ways to hide themselves, if they don’t reveal themselves, most people won’t discover them in their lifetime. However, in the astral world, there is still one active star beast.

It is called Creno Ode, also known as the ’Righteous Charger,’ ’Power Star God,’ and is said to have run around the astral world stably once per ten thousand years since its birth. It never detours or stops.

It is probably one of the few star beasts not besieged by the gods... those guys treat it as the astral world’s timer.

On Creno Ode, there is also a dead giant snake, known as the ’Hidden Giant Snake’ and the ’Forgotten Snake.’ It was once a star beast but got killed crossing Creno Ode’s path, now hanging on its horn. I suspect there might be some personal vendetta."

Hearing this, Levi suddenly realized. The astral soul he summoned is essentially the embodiment of the power of star beasts. The names match completely.

No wonder the ’Hermit Rune’ stopped progressing after cultivating to the Third Level, not even the proficiency panel can forcefully break through its limit.

As a path of belief, when the origin of belief dies, naturally it ceases. Being able to cultivate to level 3 might be due to some residual divine power.

If more time goes by and the divine power is exhausted, even entry might not be possible. After he advanced to the ninth-circle, occasionally experimenting with other languages of runes, he found that most couldn’t even get started. In some cases like the Hermit Rune, they stopped halfway as well.

Now it all makes sense.

Levi, slightly puzzled, asked: "Where do the gods, these parasites, come from? They can’t have just emerged from nowhere."

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky. Pointing to the infinitely high place, he said:

"The gods were not nurtured by the astral world, but the existence capable of birthing these deformed belief constructs must also be a primordial spirit. According to my research, soon after the astral world was born, it was occupied by a presence called the ’Star-devouring Worm.’ It consumed the Power of Star Realm, devouring most star beasts.

Moreover, in the astral world, it nurtured beings who believed in and were loyal to it, continuing to hunt and share star beasts, claiming the power of belief in this universe, and beginning rapid expansion and inflation. This is the current gods of the astral world.

So I summarize the ’Star-devouring Worm’ as the ’Conqueror.’ I call those gods parasites. They are the current true masters of the astral world, thus, the astral world is actually composed of two primordial spirits. Except the original ’Star Cluster Brain,’ has already been controlled.

Although the emergence of the Star-devouring Seed and these new gods disrupted the Land of Darkness’s original plan, it discovered that these new gods seemed more suitable to manage the multidimensional planes and to counter the Nightmare World. Hence, during the Ancient Era, the astral world rose rapidly, a number of Gods emerged.

Among your Nora’s early seven orthodox gods, five were born in this era, only two appeared at the end of the ancient era. Even younger than me, do you want to know who they are?"

Levi calmly replied: "King of Ten Thousand Dragons and Lord of the Stars."

This little bit of pride in the middle-aged man’s heart was put away. He looked at Levi with a slightly surprised tone and laughed:

"It seems you have understood some of the secrets of the Double Dragon Empire."
