Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 72 Brother, I Want to Be a Human Being

When they heard that Wang Xiu wanted them to take over the body of the golden-horned beast, both Hong and Lei Shen felt reluctant.

Especially Hong, who was extremely resistant in his heart.

Chinese traditional culture emphasizes that one’s body and hair are inherited from one’s parents.

Although things are different now than in ancient times and people don't attach as much importance to their bodies as before, it is still difficult for Hong to accept giving up his body, taking over the body of the golden-horned beast and becoming a monster.

Although Thor is an Indian, he is a mixed-race and has been greatly influenced by Chinese culture.

And even without the influence of Chinese culture, Thor would not want to live as a monster in the future.

"Third brother, I don't think it's necessary to seize another's body..." Lei Shen said hesitantly with a difficult look on his face, "You don't want to be a good person, but to become a monster..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu did not say anything, but looked at Hong.

Looking at Hong who was standing aside in silence, Wang Xiu knew in his heart that Hong, like Thor, was unwilling to take over the body of the golden-horned beast.

"Okay, if you don't want to, then don't. It's just a pity." Wang Xiu said deliberately, "This golden-horned beast is one of the most powerful ones among the powerful star beasts."

"Even if you do nothing, as long as you reach adulthood, you will have the strength of a Realm Master."

"Compared to humans, the golden-horned beast is born with ten times the genetic level. At the same level, both its strength and speed are ten times that of humans!"

"Moreover, this golden-horned beast has three innate secrets: devouring, strengthening, and splitting, and it also has bloodline inheritance memories."

"As long as they take over someone's body, they will have countless profound secret techniques to choose from."

Hearing Wang Xiu's words, Hong and Lei Shen's hearts were already filled with turmoil.

They knew that this golden-horned beast was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so abnormal and even have the secret method of creating a clone.

Does that mean that the two of them can still live as human beings after taking over another's body?
Thinking of this, the two people who had been extremely determined in their hearts were shaken for a moment.

Seeing Wang Xiu approaching the golden-horned beast and raising his sword to kill it, Lei Shenlian stopped him and said:
"Old Three, wait a moment."

"What do you mean by the three innate secrets of the golden-horned beast you just mentioned?"

Wang Xiu was not in a hurry after being called, and he explained slowly:
"The so-called innate secret method is a skill that can be mastered naturally after birth without learning, just like humans eating and breathing."

"You have seen the Devouring ability before. It is the strange Devouring ability."

"The Golden Horned Beast can use the Devouring Secret Technique to fight the enemy, and it can also use the Devouring Secret Technique to devour metal to accelerate its own growth."

"Can it also devour metal to accelerate evolution?" Thor exclaimed.

I originally thought that it was abnormal enough to naturally possess the strength of a realm master after reaching adulthood, but this accelerated evolution by devouring metal is simply the most abnormal of all abnormalities.

If ordinary people want to practice and become stronger, they have to go through untold hardships, and even this depends on talent.

And what about the golden-horned behemoth?

You can become the master of the world by eating hot pot and singing songs. It is simply that people will die if they are compared with others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared with others.

Wang Xiu glanced at the God of Thunder and thought to himself, if you knew that the golden-horned beast would naturally possess a domain after reaching the cosmic level, wouldn't you jump up in anger?

"Second brother, don't say anything yet. Let the third brother finish speaking first." Hong patted Lei Shen's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"Oh, okay, third brother, please continue." Thor nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu smiled and continued:
"And the golden-horned beast has also used the secret method of strengthening. When using the secret method of strengthening, golden light will appear on the body, and the body's strength, speed, body, defense, soul, etc. will be twice as much as before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Thunder God on the side opened his eyes wide, with countless things to say in his mind, but remembering that the secret clone Wang Xiu had not been introduced yet, he had to hold it in.

"As for the secret method of clones..." Wang Xiu smiled and glanced at Hong and Lei Shen, "It's actually very simple. The golden-horned beast can use this secret method to breed three clones, and the consciousness of the clones and the original body is the same."

After listening to Wang Xiu's introduction of the three secret techniques, Hong and Lei Shen were completely shocked by the abnormal talents of the golden-horned beast.

This is not a monster, it is God’s own son.

Compared with this golden-horned beast, Hong and Lei Shen felt like they were raised by a stepmother.

It was as if what Nuwa created back then was not a human being, but a giant golden-horned beast.

"Huh." Lei Shen exhaled lightly and said seriously, "Third Brother, I think we can discuss the matter of taking over the body of the golden-horned beast."

Looking at Thor's serious expression, Wang Xiu immediately laughed.

As expected, no matter where you are, no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

"Brother, don't think about it." Wang Xiu stopped teasing them and shook his head with a smile, "We are all genetic warriors. Our telekinesis is weak, and we don't have a special secret method to possess another body."

"Even now that this golden-horned beast is seriously injured and dying, the success rate is frighteningly low."

"Don't even mention you. Even for me, if I want to take over someone else's body, my success rate is less than 10%!"

Hearing this, disappointment was evident on Hong and Lei Shen's faces.

"Third brother, you are boring now. You are still telling me a bunch of hopeless things." Thor said unhappily.

Think about it too.

Wang Xiu said so much, and under his temptation, Lei Shen was almost hooked into a black carp.

As a result, Wang Xiu said there was no hope and asked them to give up, saying that no one would be happy if this happened to them.

"Hehe." Wang Xiu scratched his head and said nothing.

After a while, when the two calmed down, Hong keenly felt that something was wrong.

If there was really no hope, why did Wang Xiu go to the trouble of calling them over? Wouldn't it have been more convenient to just kill the golden-horned beast with one sword?

At this time, the Thunder God also reacted. He and Hong exchanged a glance, then looked at Wang Xiu and asked directly:

"Old Third, just tell me why you called us here?"

"You can't really be making fun of us, right?"

“Hehehe, second brother still understands me.” Wang Xiu said with a smile, “I’m not kidding you guys anymore.” “It is indeed possible to take over the body of the golden-horned beast, but it requires a spiritualist, a planetary-level spiritualist.”

"Planetary level psychic..." Hong and Lei Shen nodded when they heard this.

"But even if a planetary psychic wants to take over the body of a golden-horned beast, even if it is seriously injured and dying, it won't be that easy, right?" Hong frowned.

"That's true, but it's still higher than our success rate." Wang Xiu nodded.

Psychics do have a natural advantage over genetic warriors when it comes to taking over other people's bodies, and this is something that genetic warriors cannot compare to.

However, after achieving immortality, there is no difference between spiritualists and genetic warriors.

"There are only two planetary-level spiritualists on Earth right now, one is East and the other is Luo Feng." Hong nodded and said, "Which of these two do you think is more suitable?"

"Let Luo Feng come over first." Wang Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "Ask his opinion first. If he is unwilling or fails, then contact East."

"I'll contact him personally."

Wang Xiu knew very well that as for the matter of possessing the body of the golden-horned beast, anyone who dared to do so would die except on Earth and by Luo Feng.

Unless a second stellar-level psychic with domain control and the secret method of possessing another's body can appear immediately on Earth, there would still be some hope.

No matter what East is like in normal times, he at least voluntarily sacrificed himself for all mankind in the original storyline, so he can be considered a hero.

Wang Xiu was also unwilling to deliberately harm him.

Hong had no objection to Wang Xiu's choice.

The entire golden-horned beast is someone else's trophy, and it is not their business what to do with it.

Soon, the communication was connected, and Luo Feng's voice came from the auxiliary optical brain.

"Brother Xiu, I saw your battle video, you are amazing!" Luo Feng said excitedly on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, stop flattering me. I have something serious to discuss with you." Wang Xiu said with a smile.

"Business? What's the matter?" Luo Feng felt a little confused on the other end of the phone.

Now that I have dealt with this golden-horned beast, there is nothing else that needs my help.

"You'll understand when you get here. Why so much nonsense?" Wang Xiu said unhappily, "I've sent you the location. Leave now. I'll be waiting for you here."

"Ah, okay."

After hanging up the call, Luo Feng, who had already returned to Jiangnan Base City, looked at the location information sent by Wang Xiu and couldn't help but wonder:
"Babata, can you check where is the location information sent by Brother Xiu?"

"We've found out. It's the place where Wang Xiu finally fought the golden-horned beast. It's specifically in an area of ​​the Pacific Ocean." Babata's voice rang out in Luo Feng's mind.

"That's strange, why did Brother Xiu ask me to go there?" Luo Feng asked puzzledly.

"You'll know when you go there," Babata said with a smile in the virtual space, "Maybe he wants you to admire the golden-horned beast up close."

"That makes sense." Luo Feng nodded with a smile. He stood up and said something to his family, then stepped on the Sky Shuttle and rushed towards Wang Xiu's location.

……

Somewhere on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean.

Luo Feng, standing on the Sky Shuttle, looked at the three people in front of him and the "corpse" of the golden-horned giant beast lying beside him with surprise on his face.

"Master? And the Second Speaker... why are you all here?" Luo Feng entered Wang Xiu's territory and put away the Sky Shuttle.

"That's not important." Wang Xiu dragged Luo Feng to the front of the golden-horned beast, pointed at it and said to Luo Feng, "Do you want to take over the body of the golden-horned beast?"

"Possession? Aren't all the golden-horned beasts dead?" Luo Feng didn't react to the situation at first, but when he looked at the golden-horned beast's lively eyes, he stuttered, "Brother Xiu, you...are you saying that this golden-horned beast is still alive?"

"I told you this is not important. Now there is an opportunity in front of you to seize the body of the golden-horned beast. Tell me, do you want it?"

Before Luo Feng could say anything, Babata in the virtual space was already extremely excited.

"Luo Feng, promise him, you must promise him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The golden-horned beast is the pinnacle among the beasts in the starry sky. You must promise him." Babata in the virtual space said frantically.

Luo Feng ignored it directly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Brother Xiu, I still want to be a human being."

Seeing Luo Feng like this, Wang Xiu, Hong and Lei Shen looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"It's my fault. I didn't explain it to you clearly." Wang Xiu shook his head.

"Don't rush to refuse. I'll tell you some information about this golden-horned beast, and then you can answer me again."

Immediately, Wang Xiu repeated what he had said to Hong and the others.

After finishing speaking, Luo Feng was extremely shocked as he looked at the dying golden-horned beast.

Strengthen! Devour! Clone!

You can possess the strength of a world master as soon as you reach adulthood!

You know, according to what Babata said, even with his training, it can only guarantee that he can cultivate to the level of Realm Lord.

After taking over the body of the golden-horned beast, you will at least reach the level of a realm master.

Babata in the virtual space was even crazier. If he had not been in physical form, he would have strangled Luo Feng by the neck to force him to agree.

"Luo Feng, agree to it, agree to it. You have the secret method of possessing another body left by your teacher, and this golden-horned beast is already seriously injured and dying. Although he is at the star level, there is still hope. The worst that can happen is that the possession will fail and he will be seriously injured for a period of time."

"Your injuries can be easily recovered with the legacy left by your teacher, but if this opportunity is gone, it's completely gone!"

At this time, Luo Feng was also somewhat tempted. According to what Wang Xiu said, the golden-horned beast could give birth to three clones.

After taking over the body of the golden-horned beast, he can give birth to another Earthling clone, so that he can still live as a human being.

Under the temptation of the golden-horned beast's top talent and Babata's instigation, Luo Feng finally gave in.

"Brother Xiu, I agree."
