Goulong rolled its eyes at it.

“No, you’re thinking too much,” it mocked. “He didn’t tell us anything except that he was indeed killed by the Heavenly God of the Sun Celestial Heavens. He even asked us not to be too obsessed with the truth. Do you think all gods are so petty?”

“Then he’s really open-minded.” Zhurong was speechless.

“If he wasn’t open-minded, he wouldn’t have saved us. Don’t forget that we’re a race from the Sun Celestial Heavens.” Goulong added, “After we explored the area at the bottom of the sea, the first thing we discovered was actually a sea of flames. After this sea of flames was the Wind God’s Divine Realm. At that time, the flames were completely outside the Divine Realm. According to the Wind God’s consciousness, those were the remnants of its body. Although his body was already dead, the Wind Spiritual Energy in his meridians still forced out the invading Spiritual Energy. That’s why that phenomenon happened.”

Ye Chen gasped. “The Wind God’s body is that big?!” he asked in shock.

From what Goulong said, the length of the Wind God’s body spanned the entire ocean between the East Continent and the West Continent. This was definitely much larger than the complete Kun Peng in the records!

“I’ve asked about that too. He said that he has always used a disguise form,” Goulong replied. “Fortunately, he used a disguise form, so the curse didn’t spread to the entire Divine Realm.”

It mentioned the curse again.

Ye Chen remembered that before triggering the secret chamber trap in the ice and fire arrays, Goulong had once said that the explosion of the Dragon Claw Stone was a curse.

“How did this curse form?” he immediately asked.

“Well, as long as it’s a non-natural death, a certain curse will form. There’s just a difference in strength.” Goulong said very calmly, “For those with low combat strength, that curse is simply useless. Only when their combat strength reaches the Ten-Million Level will it have some effect. For people at Zhurong’s and my level, if they die an unnatural death, the effect of the curse will reach the extent where the cursed person will be injured. For those at the God level… that will be the true battle.”

“Don’t talk halfway.” Zhurong added, “The curse has always been attached to the corpse. If the cursed person touches it, the curse will come true. If they don’t touch it, nothing will happen. The curse will still be on the corpse.”

It explained to Ye Chen why the curse had survived until now.

“Then what’s the situation when the curse spreads?” Ye Chen continued to ask.

“Didn’t you say that the curse existed on the body? Therefore, when the curse was formed, it was also in a compressed state like the Wind God’s body. Even if he revealed his true body after he died, the curse would only float on the surface of his body and wouldn’t be able to completely corrode him. Instead, it would be forced out by the remaining Spiritual Energy. Most of his meridians formed the Divine Realm that was left behind from the independence of the curse,” Goulong explained. “Therefore, there is a certain amount of curse in the flames. The consciousness of the Wind God still exists in the deeper Divine Realm. As long as the consciousness is still there, the power of the curse won’t be triggered.”

After its explanation, it turned the topic back to its kind.

“After discovering the Divine Realm, the seniors of my race were naturally quite flustered. However, the Wind God suggested helping after they explained why they came. The method was to use wind-type Spiritual Energy to convert or assimilate Spiritual Energy, helping my race convert fire-type Spiritual Energy into water-type Spiritual Energy.”

It pointed at itself.

“At that time, what troubled my kind the most was that the original Fire Spiritual Energy would affect the body’s absorption of Water Spiritual Energy. That was why everyone was unable to adapt to the water environment. When encountering such conditions, of course, it was best to agree.”

Ye Chen was confused.

“To be able to convert or assimilate Spiritual Energy… Not only is this ability a little cheating, it also doesn’t explain why the Wind God doesn’t have any race, right?” he asked. “Then, he should be able to help more mutated beasts transform into his own attribute and increase his race, right? How did it end up with only him having wind-type Spiritual Energy?”

Goulong shook his head repeatedly.

“This kind of thing can’t be done!” It said, “Wind Spiritual Energy is relatively special. To other mutated beasts, it’s completely out of their control. Even if the Wind God is willing to help us change the attribute of our Spiritual Energy, it won’t directly give us the Wind Spiritual Energy. It’s just protecting us… Didn’t you think that I had Wind Spiritual Energy on me before? That’s the remaining protection.”

Ye Chen still shook his head.

“You said it was protection, but in my opinion, it’s no different from you mobilizing wind-type Spiritual Energy.” He said to Goulong, “Although I’ve never seen it with my own eyes, the Spiritual Energy that appeared in your body at that time made me feel unfamiliar.That’s true, right?”

From the situation he sensed, Ye Chen really could not determine the difference between the so-called protection and giving the other party Spiritual Energy.

“Just think of the protection as the armor of humans. Moreover, it’s the kind that can’t be processed or repaired after it’s destroyed. If your Spiritual Energy is flesh and blood, the protection is just an additional layer of protection. Although it does exist, it can’t be changed with our abilities. We can’t use it directly.”

Goulong explained uncertainly but he also sighed. “This kind of protection is actually very strange. This is because the Wind God only transformed the attributes of the Spiritual Energy of the first batch of seniors of my race, causing everyone’s race to change. The protection was also given to the Human-Faced Snakes that obtained new life in the process.” It added, “However, these protections also appeared on the descendants of my race. For example, I was one of them. At that time, the Wind God’s Divine Realm had already been sealed by everyone again. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have affected us, but it was as if it could be inherited…”

At this point, Zhurong came forward and interrupted. “So you weren’t born when your kind was under the protection of the Wind God?” It asked doubtfully, “Is this information true? Could it be made up by your kind? It sounds really strange.”

It had been too long since something was related to God. Since Goulong wasn’t a witness to the incident, there was a reason why it was suspected.

However, Goulong immediately retorted.

“Didn’t you listen to what I said before?” It questioned, “The consciousness of the Wind God still exists in the Divine Realm! Since the Spiritual Energy that protected my kind is from the Divine Realm, we can naturally sense the consciousness of the Wind God through the Spiritual Energy in the protection!”
