Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 56: Visas's Origins (Part 2)



The reason for believing he is not human is very straightforward. How could a human contend with the gods?

And the reason for believing he is human is equally valid; the corpse blocks left by Visas, no matter how you look at them, are of a human body.

So, is he human or not?

At least now there's an answer — Yes.

This answer is beyond doubt because it comes from the Lord of Eternal Nightmare's knowledge.

This is a human certified by the gods.

"This is a good thing," said a split of Edwin, "It shows that a mortal can reach the level of Visas, so our research is correct!"

All the Edwins nodded in agreement, with faces full of approval.

After all, if Visas were not human, but a new species, they would be in trouble.

If he could become a God Slayer because he wasn't human, then how could they, as humans, do what he did?

"From mortal to God Slayer, he must have experienced something, gained something," the main Edwin continued, "Find this reason!"

"Okay!!"

Six people bowed their heads again and began heated research.

Soon, new revelations emerged.

"Visas was the sole survivor of an ancient human settlement!"

"What settlement!? Speak!"

"Taoyuan Village!"

...

Taoyuan Village?

Is this Visas's hometown?

Hewinia pondered as she listened outside.

At this moment, Edwin seemed like he had split personalities, occasionally spouting key words and then having a conversation with himself. Although it sounded chaotic at first, once sorted out, it was clear enough.

This made Hewinia understand that Visas came from an ancient human settlement called Taoyuan Village and was the only survivor there.

But why was he the only survivor?

What happened there?

The sleeping Edwin was also curious, but soon gave himself the answer.

"That was a sacrifice, a sacrifice for the gods!"

Sacrifice?

Hewinia's eyes narrowed bit by bit.

Why sacrifice to the gods?

...

"Why sacrifice to the gods?" the main Edwin asked.

"There's no reason," a split Edwin answered, "In those times... it was just like that."

The Edwins exchanged glances.

"Yes, it was just like that in those times," the split Edwin continued, "Humans at that time lived in primitive societies, they didn't understand spells, had no martial power, and the divine race hadn't bestowed on them strength or faith."

"So what were humans at that time considered?"

"In most cases, they were a source of power for the gods," the split Edwin said, "The gods could draw life force from them to gain strength and longevity."

"Like food."

"Yes, delicious food."

"So Visas was the survivor of such a sacrifice?" The main Edwin grew interested, "Was there something wrong with Taoyuan Village; was there some power hidden there?"

"Uh," the previously speaking split Edwin shook his head, "No, it was just an ordinary human settlement with no special power. If anything, it was particularly remote, and the people living there didn't even know about the existence of gods before being sacrificed. In modern terms, they were simply ignorant villager folks."

"Ignorant villager folks? Impossible, then where did Visas get his power from?"

"It definitely wasn't from Taoyuan Village. After Visas's death, the gods searched the ruins of Taoyuan Village many times but never found such power," the split Edwin replied, "I don't have any more records here. All I know is that the power from the sacrificed Taoyuan Village was supplied to a god named Yin Spirit."

"Yin Spirit?" Another split Edwin showed a surprised expression immediately.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh, according to my records," the split Edwin's expression was odd, "The first god to fall at the hands of Visas was the Lord of Yin Spirit."

A long silence.

"It seems this was not a war without cause," the main Edwin said, "It was a revenge, targeting the gods."

...

Targeting the gods for revenge.

After hearing this, Hewinia's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The world has always speculated why Visas initiated the war against the gods. Some believe it was a higher-dimensional being massacring those of a lower dimension, while others think it was a powerful madman wanting to exterminate all life and restart the world.

But the real reason was... revenge.

So simple, pure, yet so weighty.

Or rather, no reason could weigh more than this.

But... where did his power actually come from?

In the long period that followed, Edwin kept searching for this answer, speaking various pieces of information like he had a split personality, only to dismiss them the next second.

Among them were mostly details of Visas initiating a revenge war against the gods. From the information Edwin disclosed, Hewinia truly felt the fear of the gods. She seemed to see with her own eyes the scene of gods falling from the sky, and also knew that after Visas's fall, the remaining gods were driven insane by the allure of Visas's power, leading to another internal war. In the end, only the current eight gods survived, each with their own problems.

...

"The Lyra God's injuries are the most severe, to the point where maintaining the divine country is impossible, facing imminent demise," Split Edwin One said, "The Holy Sound Master has lost the five senses, like a cripple. The God of Senluo is also gravely ill... Simply put, after the battle with Visas and subsequent internal conflicts, the surviving eight gods are all crippled, including the Lord of Eternal Nightmare and the Lord of Netherworld, they also..."
