—------------------—
Upon hearing this, Thunder God's taut brows suddenly relaxed, and a hint of warmth emanated from his body, which was wreathed in purple-gold lightning.
He looked at Chen Yi, his eyes filled with approval: "It's quite unexpected that Junior Fu Si possesses such a clear Mind.
Knowing that fortune and misfortune are intertwined, this Mind is indeed worthy of the Bloodline of the God of Thunder and Lightning."
Chen Yi, however, shook his head: "Junior is merely speaking the truth; I don't deserve such praise from Senior."
"Also, the past has faded away; there's no need to mention the name 'Fu Si' anymore."
Thunder God was slightly startled by these words, clearly not expecting Chen Yi to say such a thing.
After all, from the latter's memories, it was evident that people of his clan had a strong attachment to their homeland, and their longing for home far surpassed that of other civilizations.
As the only remaining link between Chen Yi and his previous life, the name "Fu Si" was proof of his former existence—he was a person, a living person, not a dream.
Noticing Thunder God's confusion, Chen Yi offered no further explanation.
Although Fu Si in his previous life wasn't a famous figure, he lived an upright life: he had acted bravely when witnessing injustice and had dutifully cared for his parents at their sickbed.
His life wasn't wealthy, but it was peaceful, stable, and enjoyable.
He had no regrets, whether for the greater good or for his own family.
Since there were no more regrets from his previous life, he would draw a perfect conclusion to it!
In this life, he was not Fu Si, but merely Chen Yi, an ordinary person who would dedicate his entire life to the Body Sect.
"Hahahaha! Good!
Without breaking the old, one cannot establish the new.
Little fellow, you are stronger than me!"
Understanding Chen Yi's unspoken words, Thunder God also laughed heartily, his laughter containing both self-mockery and the lightness of letting go.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he was still not as clear-headed and free-spirited as a Junior.
The hearty laughter swept through the entire space, suddenly causing a heart-wrenching tremor.
The ground beneath their feet instantly collapsed, and streaks of lightning erupted, scorching the soil with sizzling sounds.
The originally lush flowers and plants immediately burst forth with violent lightning, their petals and branches covered in splashing electric arcs.
Insects and beasts in the forest, and green fish swimming in the lake, let out sharp cries and transformed into crackling electric light.
Even the hard rocks and flowing streams disintegrated and evaporated under the pressure of the lightning, all turning into surging purple-gold lightning currents that madly converged towards mid-air.
In an instant, countless lightning arcs, like billions of out-of-control Golden Dragons, streaked across the sky with brilliant light tails, roaring as they crashed into a single central point.
The air was compressed to the extreme by the divine force, emitting a dull roar, and even space itself rippled with water-like distortions.
Countless lightning currents collided and merged at the central point, and the purple-gold light grew increasingly intense, making people's eyes water.
Finally, with a thunderclap that shook the Universe, it condensed into a fist-sized purple-gold bead.
The surface of the bead was entwined with intricate lightning patterns, and each rotation unleashed a pressure strong enough to tear apart clouds, as if all the lightning power of the entire World was locked within this small space.
The inside of the bead had now transformed into a lightning World, with lightning flashing and currents raging.
What Chen Yi cared about most was the towering lightning throne in the center of the lightning World, which was formed from pure Thunder God's divine force, without any carving, yet it exuded an indescribable majesty—it was the God Position seed of the God King of Thunder and Lightning.
Thunder God held the God Position seed in his hand, and a hint of melancholy finally appeared on his face.
Once upon a time, he too was full of vigor, traversing the Universe for endless years, looking down on heroes of all ages, and creating his own myth.
Now, he finally faced his own curtain call.
"The God Position seed will remain in your Sea of Consciousness.
When your cultivation reaches the seventh stage, which you call Spirit Saint, you can naturally activate the God Position Legacy, and my Divine Artifact is also within it."
"During this period, you can try to Cultivate some of the divine skills I left within it; this will be of no small benefit to your future cultivation."
As he spoke, Thunder God struck the God Position seed into the depths of Chen Yi's Sea of Consciousness, and his entire being gradually became transparent.
Then, he looked at Chen Yi and said gently: "In addition, I will leave three life-saving measures on you; even if a first-rank God personally arrives, they cannot harm you.
As for the God Realm, you don't need to worry; just go ahead and do what you need to do.
Although I have fallen, I can still ensure your safety."
"Bang—"
"Disciple Chen Yi, respectfully thanks Teacher!"
A teacher is one who imparts the Dao, teaches knowledge, and resolves doubts.
Since Thunder God had left Chen Yi a Legacy and life-saving measures, he clearly regarded Chen Yi as his Disciple and successor, so his identity was naturally Chen Yi's teacher.
Seeing this scene, a glimmer finally appeared in Thunder God's eyes.
He quickly helped Chen Yi up and laughed heartily: "In my, Your teacher's Life, I was protected by my elder brother in childhood, full of youthful spirit.
In middle age, I had close friends accompanying me, traversing the starry sky.
And now, at the very end, I have gained a satisfactory successor.
Looking at ancient and modern times, how many people have been as dashing as I have been?
Heaven has truly treated me well! Hahahaha!"
Looking back at Thunder God's life, apart from his defeat at the hands of the Dragon God in the past, it could be said to be a true template for a satisfying story.
In my life as a teacher, ever since I took human form, I achieved the Divine Venerable position of the God of Thunder and Lightning, riding in fine clothes and on swift horses, looking down on all beings in the World.
Later, I journeyed with many comrades, together pursuing the sea of stars, fighting with unparalleled grace and leaving behind endless legends!
Later, during the expedition to the sea of stars, although I suffered a setback, I stepped into the God King Domain I had once dreamed of in the final moments of my life.
What more could one be unsatisfied with in such a life?
In the next moment, a surge of purple-gold light erupted from Thunder God's body, its concentration reaching its Peak, almost dyeing the surrounding space purple-gold.
In an instant, his figure completely dissolved into the light, and a majestic purple-gold sun, exuding endless power, fully formed.
Subsequently, a beam of purple-gold divine light shot up from Chen Yi's Sea of Consciousness into the sky.
The great sun slowly transformed into golden mist and dissipated within the Sea of Consciousness, leaving only a solitary bead suspended in the depths.
"Disciple respectfully bids farewell to Teacher!"
Looking at the spot where Thunder God had stood, Chen Yi's heart was filled with respect.
He slowly knelt down, deeply kowtowing as a Disciple, offering his final farewell to the departing Thunder God.
Although this was their first and last meeting, and the other party had not taught him for a single day, Thunder God's free-spirited personality still left a deep impression on Chen Yi's heart.
After a long while, Chen Yi slowly rose, surveyed the surrounding sea of lightning, and looked towards the outside.
Seeing Mu Xi and the Grand Elder guarding him, a gentle smile finally appeared on Chen Yi's face, and he secretly vowed in his heart: "Teacher, rest assured, I will surely become a God and revive the myth of the God of Thunder and Lightning!"
Chen Yi slowly walked towards the God Position seed, a hint of fascination in his eyes.
This would be the Foundation of his rise, and the guarantee for him to lead the Body Sect to its Peak in the future.
He then immersed his mind in the divine skills of Thunder God within it.
Beside it, a pair of weapons emerged.
These weapons were entirely purple-gold, with bodies as smooth as mirrors, faintly shimmering with electric light, as if lightning flowed within them.
The Divine Artifacts were engraved with mysterious star maps, depicting the momentum of thunder and clouds, lifelike, as if lightning would roar out from them in the next moment.
These were none other than Thunder God's Divine Artifact—the Thunder God Mace.
Chen Yi withdrew his gaze and refocused on the huge stone tablet in front of him.
On the tablet's surface, the four characters "Nine Lightning Arts" were carved with the Aura of a thunderclap, the writing bold and heavy, as if each stroke contained the thunderous power to shake heaven and earth.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Yi shook his head with a bitter smile.
With his current mere ten levels of spirit power, these divine skills were still too advanced.
He could only try them later when his cultivation improved.
Just as Chen Yi was about to withdraw his mind, a piece of information beside him made his eyes widen: "This is... a Soul Core Cultivation method?!"
