Chapter 2296 The Trouble Encountered by the Heavenly Demon
Such confidential intelligence is usually not transmitted among mortals. When Jiuyou heard this news, his expression and pupils relaxed, indicating that he had indeed known about it for some time. Therefore, the most likely explanation is that he also has reliable sources of information in the Demon Realm.
Given his status and power, it's perfectly normal for him to have spies in the Demon Realm; he might even be a Great God.
However, he was wrong this time. The first to bring this crucial information was not the Heavenly God, but Sun Hongye. He Lingchuan, of course, wouldn't correct him, and simply continued, "And then?"
“They have already left Fu Kingdom and are heading west,” Shuangye said softly. “I can tell you about their destination and the latest progress of the Gods’ Descent experiment.”
The condition, of course, is to exchange it for gold cores.
He Lingchuan's gaze towards him finally carried a hint of surprise:
"You dare say that? Are you still the royal advisor of Bega?"
Shuangye said casually, "Even if I said it, I wouldn't be considered a traitor."
When he said that, others were probably confused; but He Lingchuan understood Beijia's contradiction very well and instantly grasped the implied meaning:
Betraying Bega's information is what constitutes treason. But these demon puppet experiments were conducted by the Heavenly Palace, not Bega.
How can Shuangye's actions be called treason?
He Lingchuan turned his head to look at him: "Isn't the Jindu Ghost Mother able to monitor your every word and action, and even use the ghost child as a medium to directly communicate with others? Won't it hear what you're saying right now?"
Shuangye's eyes flickered slightly: "How did you know?"
This kind of detailed information is even more secretive than the legend of the sadists. Jiuyou may have found relevant information about sadists in ancient classics, but the detail that the Jindu Ghost Mother could use her cubs in the human world as a mouthpiece is almost impossible to have been passed down.
The Jindu Ghost Child appears in the human world very rarely, so there are naturally very few books that record it.
So, how did Jiuyou know this?
He Lingchuan said slowly, "I heard it from someone else a long time ago."
“You don’t need to worry.” Shuangye tapped her temple with her index finger. “I was injured here shortly after I was born. The Ghost Mother can no longer communicate with me or detect my actions.”
"What a coincidence?" He Lingchuan pressed, "How did you get injured?"
"It was just an accident."
The more casually Shuangye described it, the more convinced He Lingchuan became that there was more to the story. But since the Grand Preceptor seemed unwilling to elaborate, He Lingchuan had to change his approach: "You've already escaped its control, how could it have allowed you to survive until now?"
Frosty Leaves said coldly, "It doesn't have the final say."
There are too few sadists in the world, which may be the reason for Frostleaf's early value.
He Lingchuan pondered.
The progress of the Heavenly Demon's divine descent experiment was, of course, his top priority. Trading a mere golden core for crucial information was actually quite worthwhile for both him and Cang Yan, since Shuangye was right, the golden core was of little use to He Lingchuan.
So he didn't hesitate for long before nodding and saying:
"Sure. As long as your information is valuable, the gold core is yours."
"Jiuyou is truly a straightforward person." Shuangye chuckled lightly, then asked, "Did you know about Jialoutian's capture of Yinshenjun many years ago?"
"I know." He Lingchuan nodded. "The Hidden God Lord obviously doesn't have the same good luck as the Thousand Illusion True Man."
"The Hidden God Lord thought that by creating countless incarnations, he could defeat the enemy." Frost Leaf shook his head. "It thought it was wrong."
"After defeating the Hidden God, the Heavenly Palace's experiments with demon puppets entered a new chapter."
He Lingchuan asked at the opportune moment:
"Are they planning to use the characteristics of the Hidden God to mass-produce divine bodies?"
"'Mass manufacturing'—these four words have truly captured the essence." Shuangye knew immediately that Jiuyou was fully aware of the danger of Yinshenjun falling into enemy hands. "Over the past few years, the Heavenly Palace has exhausted all means and finally succeeded in a complete divine descent a few months ago. This means that the gods can stay in the human body for a long time, instead of having to return to the divine realm after only a quarter of an hour or two, as before."
"It sounds very exciting, is there a problem? I heard that the Demon Realm is also overjoyed because of this news." He Lingchuan had to admit that when he first heard the news, his heart sank.
Although he knew this day would come sooner or later, but...
"Good fortune never comes in pairs," Shuangye said bluntly. "You also hold the reins of a nation, so you should know that behind the joyous celebrations lie hidden worries. This is true on earth, and it is no exception in heaven."
He Lingchuan knew the key point was coming: "What kind of hidden worry?"
"Trouble from the Hidden God Lord." Shuangye looked up at the sky and let out a long breath. "The idea of using the Hidden God Lord to mass-produce divine bodies was first proposed by the Spirit Void Saint Venerable."
He Lingchuan was quite impressed: "No wonder he is the owner of the Godhood of Life."
"I won't go into the hardships and setbacks of the research process over the past few years. But there is a major problem that we still can't solve to this day." Shuangye changed her sitting posture. "The special nature of the Hidden God Lord's true form is unique even among True Immortals."
"Yes, two species that fought for generations eventually merged into one."
“The Hidden God is actually a massive aggregation of two tiny creatures, which then awakens a final integrated consciousness, which is the ‘true self’.” Shuangye smiled. “Although it sounds a bit strange, all living beings in the world, whether birds, beasts, or even you and me, are actually composed of smaller tissues. Each of these small tissues has its own life cycle, but when they come together to play their role, they have a primordial consciousness, which is ‘you’ and ‘me’.”
He Lingchuan also placed his hands on the large rock behind him: "But, the Hidden God Lord is different after all."
The two organisms that make up its body are not a group that can live together.
"The difference is that once a person's subjective consciousness, or 'id,' is destroyed, the body becomes ownerless, loses vitality, and slowly decays. However, although the Hidden God's 'id' was destroyed by Jialoutian, his body still maintains vigorous activity, consistent with its state in life. This is also the characteristic that the gods need most when creating divine bodies."
Without vitality, even a divine body is nothing more than a piece of rotten flesh.
He Lingchuan murmured, "But it is an integrated consciousness. Without the 'id,' the various parts of the body will act on their own."
“Yes. The most powerful ‘id’ used to be able to suppress other consciousnesses, and that’s why the Hidden God existed. Once the Hidden God died, managing its body became a difficult and important issue, because other consciousnesses began to grow and emerge, trying to regain control and master the Hidden God’s body.”
He Lingchuan raised an eyebrow: "The Heavenly Palace is full of talented people, surely they can't be at a loss?"
