Chapter 520: 236: Demigod Legend_3
In simple terms, to sever the line is to forcefully relinquish one's status as a predecessor.
This act sounds like it's in opposition to the rules set by the gods.
But Celeos might really be able to do it.
"He has always been looking for followers who belong to him, to complete the Divine Endowment, the step from demigod to god, he has many fears, so he wants to pass on his power."
"He didn't choose the Pantheon, instead, he chose to seek his own targets."
"If... if Guang Tongchen is that target, then he will likely use his abilities to sever something, allowing Guang Tongchen to become his disciple."
The Demigod of Blade and Cutting, Celeos.
He had already acquired the ability to sever rules and even some abstract objects, concepts.
Once there was a legend about Celeos.
That was in the Origin World, where Celeos enjoyed listening to stories. He liked many stories of this world, especially those of the invincible hero type.
He believed that the powerful should overturn everything.
But later on, the story he was following was discontinued, stopping abruptly at an exciting part.
Thus, Celeos investigated and found that in the Origin World, that aspiring "God of Creation and Story" corrupted being had neglected his original dream because he had fallen in love with another corrupted being.
Planning to twist the halfway-formed Divine Embryo of "Creation" and "Story" towards "Charm" and "Temperament" to become the god of those traits and draw the attention of a goddess.
Celeos was furious, and so he used his power to manifest the other's inner "love strings," "love-struck brain," "lust."
After materialization, he severed them in one strike.
Since then, the God of Creation and Story had no woman in his heart, and his storytelling became divine.
His efficiency in crafting stories increased manifold.
But until his death, until he ascended as a new god... this god always resented Celeos.
Because Celeos made him into a mental eunuch.
But Celeos believed that without love, one is not a eunuch; only an unfinished story makes one a eunuch.
This is but one of the rumors about Celeos.
A man who could sever conceptual entities seemed like he could sever anything in the world.
No wonder, even in his demigod phase, Celeos could stand several rounds in the hands of the God of Time and Space.
And Mo Sangyu, the intermediary of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, in retelling these events, was actually expressing one idea—
"If Celeos has truly set his sights on your disciple, then he is likely no longer your disciple, but Celeos's follower, his sole follower."
"Whether Guang Tongchen is alive or dead... it actually doesn't matter to you, it's as good as if he's dead."
That's the saddest thing.
Even if he survives, your hard-earned disciple... could be taken away.
At this moment, Ji Ye suddenly hoped that Celeos would have higher standards and not take a liking to Guang Tongchen.
However, such matters are really hard to predict. He had a strong premonition that Celeos and Guang Tongchen would establish some kind of bond.
"I was here first!" Ji Ye resented bitterly.
Mo Sangyu said,
"Perhaps, you could tell all of this to Guang Tongchen and see... how he would choose."
(I had another blind date in the afternoon; the other party is a female doctor, and the way we met this time was quite special... She's rather superstitious, believes in fortune-telling, so she asked me to bring my birth details, and together we went to see a fortune-teller, a rather novel way of dating. I decided to give it a try but I can't take any leave this month, so I got up in the middle of the night to write! Once I'm done, I'll post it; it's not about playing with jokes, actually much of Zhou Baiyu's life... cough cough, does indeed stem from someone's experiences. Goodnight everyone.)
