Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 612 - 587: Shocking Secrets!

Unexpectedly, there are truly living beings in the Ganges!

Although Wang Xu had long suspected this conclusion, when reality truly unfolded before him, it still left him shocked.

The Ganges is the origin of all life.

It is a river formed by the convergence of souls. Every day, countless souls fall into the Ganges after death, and every day, numerous souls purified by its currents flow to various chaotic universes, reincarnating into new beings.

In Wang Xu's heart, this is a true holy land!

A place that cannot be desecrated, a secret place whose mysteries cannot be guessed by anyone!

"Before you came, I deduced your past and found that you have had two encounters with the Ganges, so its existence is surely no secret to you," the elderly man in white said.

Wang Xu nodded with lingering fright in his eyes.

The first encounter with a Ganges being was when resurrecting his family.

The Desolate Fury Ancestor helped him salvage his family's souls from the Ganges, but an ice-blue hand with four fingers blocked their path, forcing the Desolate Fury Ancestor to burn his soul to gain stronger power, which allowed Wang Xu's family to be resurrected.

The second time, Wang Xu personally used the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique to retrieve souls from the Ganges.

It was then that Wang Xu genuinely felt the presence of the Ganges, having the most intimate encounter with it.

However, he was once again obstructed by the ice-blue hand with four fingers.

This action enraged Wang Xu, causing him to burn his soul, forcing the ice-blue hand to sever its wrist and abandon two of its fingers.

Now the true figure of the ice-blue hand was revealed before Wang Xu, confirming everything he had speculated...

The Ganges is alive!

And its power is absolutely not inferior to the chaotic cosmos!

"Senior, you call it 'Ganges True Spirit'?" Wang Xu took a deep breath, calming himself slightly, then asked.

"This is what I learned from searching its soul memories," the elderly man in white said. "In the Ganges, there are many Ganges beings. They have wisdom, spirituality, and formidable physical bodies. From birth, they possess immensely powerful strength!"

"Of course, there is also competition among the Ganges beings, which is extremely brutal, and the number of their fingers symbolizes their strength."

The elderly man in white pointed to the ice-blue hand.

"As you see, if a Ganges being has only one ice-blue finger, it is a newly born, relatively weak newborn spirit."

"When they have two ice-blue fingers, their strength becomes incredibly formidable, comparable to the Celestial God Realm among cultivators!"

Wang Xu's pupils abruptly contracted.

Ganges beings are indeed extraordinary; with merely two fingers, they can possess power comparable to the Celestial God Realm. One must know that in the chaotic cosmos, countless beings fall on the path to achieving the Celestial God Realm, countless beings spend their entire lives struggling to reach the Celestial God Realm—these Ganges beings merely need an additional finger to effortlessly acquire power comparable to the Celestial God Realm...

"A Ganges being with one finger is called a 'Ganges Ancestral Spirit', those with two are 'Ganges Celestial Spirits', and as for the one before you, which has three fingers, it is a 'Ganges True Spirit', with strength equivalent to the Saint Venerable Realm among cultivators."

The elderly man in white continued, "As for the Ganges being with four fingers you encountered, it is called a 'Ganges Ancient Spirit', with strength comparable to the Ancestor Realm."

"By this calculation, then with five fingers, a Ganges being could reach the Great Emperor Realm?" Wang Xu asked. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"That's right, indeed," the elderly man in white nodded.

"With five fingers, they can match the Great Emperor Realm. It seems that Ganges beings truly receive the Ganges' blessing. While cultivators like us pay incalculable costs to achieve the Celestial God, Saint Venerable, Ancestor, and even become Great Emperors, these Ganges beings do so with ease, merely by increasing their number of fingers..."

As Wang Xu spoke, he found himself unable to continue.

Though he felt resentment, he could not change these established facts.

In the chaotic cosmos, such things are too commonplace.

Some are born ordinary, facing endless difficulties to embark on the path of cultivation, experiencing countless setbacks and trials, losses, pain, confusion, and bewilderment... and still require extreme good fortune to stand out among countless beings to become powerful.

But others are born with strong bloodlines, needing little cultivation to reach realms that many cannot achieve in a lifetime.

How many people lament the unfairness of the heavens due to such disparities?

"As you say, in terms of increasing strength, Ganges beings are indeed much stronger than us cultivators. They have no so-called cultivation bottlenecks, no realm shackles; they need only continuously absorb power to gain greater strength," the elderly man in white said. "But don't merely think that Ganges beings are particularly fortunate; they have their own misfortunes as well."

"Misfortunes?" Wang Xu was puzzled.

"The world of the Ganges is not as you imagine, where all Ganges beings freely absorb the spiritual qi from the heavens and earth and constantly improve... They must compete with each other, fight each other, and the failing Ganges being will be devoured by the victor!"

The failing ones... will be devoured!

Wang Xu was shocked.

Now he understood why the elderly man in white would say Ganges beings are unfortunate.

In the chaotic cosmos, no matter how tragic, one doesn't face being devoured; yet in the world of the Ganges, there is such a harsh reality.

"Therefore, Ganges beings cannot afford a single defeat. Once defeated, unless they are exceptionally lucky, the only outcome is to be devoured by other Ganges beings!"

Wang Xu took a deep breath, and the slight longing he had for Ganges beings completely dissipated.

Ganges beings must constantly battle and fight for survival.

They must always be vigilant, living in fear of being assaulted at any moment, also afraid that one day they might lose and become the devoured.

"Even so, the Ganges beings still have a considerable population. According to the memory of this Ganges True Spirit, the total number of Ganges beings is not inferior to the number of beings in all chaotic universes combined," the elderly man in white said.

My God.

So many Ganges creatures?!

Wang Xu was slightly taken aback.

After learning a lot of information about the Ganges creatures, Wang Xu began to understand the world within the Ganges, as if a great door had been pushed open by him, revealing a corner of another world.

...

"Senior, you have told me so much about the Ganges creatures, but you haven't told me how any of this is related to me," Wang Xu asked.

The white-haired old man seemed to relate everything, yet it appeared to have no connection to Wang Xu.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man suddenly let out a long sigh.

A foreboding feeling rose in Wang Xu's heart.

"Tai Xu Devourer, I hope what I'm about to say won't be told to another person," the white-haired old man said cautiously.

"Don't worry about that, I will make an Origin Oath," Wang Xu nodded.

The white-haired old man chuckled silently, "You are a Devourer, the Origin Oath is useless to you."

Only then did Wang Xu realize this, and he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

"Although the Origin Oath is ineffective for you, the Soul Oath is effective. You should make a Soul Oath."

"Soul Oath?" Wang Xu had never heard of it.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man had to explain the Soul Oath to Wang Xu. It's actually not complicated; it simply cannot be reversed or altered once made.

But Wang Xu made the Soul Oath without hesitation.

"Good, since you've made the Soul Oath, there's no need to hide this matter from you. Come, let's first meet the other old men."

The white-haired old man waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

"Another little fellow has arrived."

"I can sense the presence of the Devouring Fire."

"A newcomer?"

Wang Xu came to his senses and found himself atop a magnificent pillar, and surrounding him were six slightly smaller pillars with five figures seated on them.

"Tai Xu greets the seniors!" Wang Xu immediately saluted.

Although he didn't feel the immense terrifying aura, he perceived an existence that almost made his soul tremble.

Looking around, with eyes aflame, Wang Xu saw these five figures.

"Red, blue, yellow, black, green?"

Wang Xu couldn't help but be surprised.

Like the white-haired old man, each of these five figures was entirely of a single color, except for their eyes, which were rainbow-colored, with no other differences.

"Xu Shu, has he made the Soul Oath?" the red old man asked.

The white-haired old man nodded, "The Soul Oath has been made, now it's up to you to explain 'that matter' to him."

The red old man nodded, his gaze turning to Wang Xu.

"Little fellow, do you realize now how terrifying the Ganges world is?" the red old man said.

"I understand, senior."

The Ganges creatures were not only unmatched in power, their numbers were terrifying as well. How could Wang Xu not sense the cruelty of the Ganges Realm?

"If that's the case, then you should also know that in the near future, all the creatures of the Ganges will cross it and come to this land?"

The red old man's words left Wang Xu stunned.

The entire Ganges creatures will cross over?

He wasn't aware of this.

The white-haired old man let out a sigh, "Si Kong, I haven't mentioned this matter."

"You haven't mentioned something so important?" the red old man shook his head. "In that case, let me say it. After all, this isn't the first time I've announced bad news, one more time doesn't matter."

Wang Xu listened intently, wanting to know what exactly could cause these supreme beings to be so tense.

"Little fellow, you've also seen the Ganges True Spirit. We not only retrieved information about the Ganges Realm from its soul memory but also obtained a piece of shocking news, which is why we issued an edict to find the Devourer."

"What memory?" Wang Xu asked eagerly.

"From the moment this Ganges True Spirit was born, its soul has been imprinted with an instinct," the red old man said with a complex expression.

"And that is... to kill all living beings of the Chaotic Cosmos!"

Boom!

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xu's mind was struck as if by lightning, his face turning pale as paper. (To be continued.
