Apotheosis

Zen even reached out to touch his body.

The "statue" that sat upright was exactly the same as his own corporeal body, though it didn't move of course.

"Primeval Lord of Heaven, is this just a statue?" Zen asked, slightly hesitant and overtaken with curiosity.

"No," replied the Primeval Lord of Heaven, shaking his head.

"Then what is this? Is it my real body? How could that be?" Zen asked, even more taken by what he saw.

"Not exactly," the Primeval Lord of Heaven said with a faint knowing smile.

As the most wise and knowledgeable human being, he had a deep understanding of Stage Thirty-two of the Other Shore as well as of the Eternal Scroll Painting.

"Think of it as an anchor," he said. "Let's call it a sort of anchor body!"

"An anchor you say?"

Zen stared pensively.

"Yes," the Primeval Lord of Heaven confirmed with a smile. "Think of us as a ship drifting. This anchor body fixes us here so we can receive power from external areas, namely, the power of the Eternal Realm..."

"The power of the Eternal Realm?" Zen's eyes glinted.

Of course, he knew that Eternal Warriors of the Eternal Realm were very powerful, but he hadn't understood why.

The Primeval Lord of Heaven recognized Zen's confusion. Suddenly, he asked, "In your opinion, is there any difference between the bloodline of Sun Crows and the bloodlines of the ferocious beasts in the Source World?"

"The bloodline of Sun Crows and the bloodlines of ferocious beasts..." Zen frowned and thought for a while. "I think the difference is probably in their strength. Although the ferocious beasts are also capable of inheriting bloodlines, theirs won't increase their own strength very much, but the bloodline of Sun Crows is different."

"Then have you ever thought about why their blood power is so strong?" the Primeval Lord of Heaven asked, smiling once more.

Creatures in the Source World could summon such great power because they relied on the Other Shore Tokens on the Other Shore.

However, this rule was broken by blood power.

When Emperor Charm had used the Nine-Sun World Destruction Theurgy or Eastern Emperor Taiyi had used the golden sword, their power hadn't come from any Other Shore Token, but their own bloodlines.

"So how can they unleash such power without using any Other Shore Token?" With the Primeval Lord of Heaven's hints, Zen now understood. "Primeval Lord of Heaven, you mean... the Eternal Scroll Painting? They have obtained t

n their foreheads.

The man who led them possessed an extremely powerful aura, no weaker than Eastern Emperor Taiyi or Yasamin. It was obvious he was a powerful warrior of the Eternal Realm.

When Pearce and the others caught sight of them, they immediately walked up to them with smiles strewn across their faces. Bowing to the powerful warrior of the Eternal Realm, Pearce said, "Chief, seeing as you're leading your clansmen here in person, it must mean the Three Eyes race is not lacking in young talents!"

In Stage Thirty-two of the Other Shore, most races submitted to the Element Spirit race, while others were under the protection of the Nihility race. However, in addition to these two camps, there were also other races that maintained a neutral position.

In fact, these neutral races all pretty much agreed with the Finale Way, and were thus potential allies of the Oneness Sky Palace and the Pear Hill. That was the reason for Pearce's politeness.

The chief nodded slightly, turned and waved his hand. "This time, there will be three members of our Three Eyes race entering the Eternal Scroll Painting. Of course I hope they can enter the Eternal Realm."

His wave signaled the three members, who stood out from the rest of the group one at a time.

The one walking in the front was the shortest and looked like a child.

Zen stared at him for quite a while before he finally realized who he was. He was the three-eyed boy he had met in the Dark Region in Stage Thirteen of the Other Shore.

But this was not the Dark Region. As a creature in the Dark Region, how could the three-eyed boy have entered the Light Region?
