Chapter 814 - 15.33

Bai Shijue closed his eyes and inspected the spiritual root of Han Shun, but what he found wasn't what he expected.

Because Han Shun didn't have the traditional one of five elements, it was a lot more sinister than he thought. 

Bai Shijue looked further to see whether his deduction was correct. He saw ominous dark energy inside Han Shun. It was so sinister that Bai Shijue almost got sucked inside, like a black hole. 

[Pupa, what is this?]

[Pupa: That is God Han Ye's original power, the power of nothingness.]

[Pupa: I got the information from Father Admin that God Han Ye was the original God. He was born from nothingness and thus held the power of nothingness. Everything starts out from nothing, right?]

[But… what kind of power is this? This is not part of the five elements of nature, and this looks very dangerous!]

[Pupa: Hm… based on the data provided, the power of nothingness means that you can suck out the energy from the universe and create something or nothing out of it. He can take away your energy and then destroy it for good. He can also create countless power that he wants from nothing, simply by destroying something in the process.]

[Pupa: It's like a give and take power. You take something and create something else out of it, or erase it from existence.]

[Pupa: In short, yes, it is a very sinister ability. He can literally take someone's life with one glance and erase the person's body, soul, and existence out of everyone's memory. This is the power of the original God.]

Bai Yunyu gulped when he heard the explanation from Pupa. He knew that Han Shun was one of the souls of God Han Ye. But to own the literal power of God was way too dangerous.

[So, he can literally kill someone out of mood?]

[Pupa: Yes.]

[Oh shit, that's really fucked up. I can't let a young and inexperienced kid like Han Shun know about his real power. He is too young to realize that he can literally erase the existence of this world in a blink of an eye.]

[Is there another way to mask this, Pupa?]

[Pupa: Look around in his consciousness, maybe you can find another spiritual root. A person as powerful as God Han Ye's incarnate must've something else in his body.]

Bai Yunyu continued searching for another thing that he could use to fool Han Shun. Then he saw a small spark, like a small firework far from the power of nothingness that God Han Ye had.

He checked it and saw that it was another spiritual root, but this was a lot smaller and weaker. Not even 1/10 of that powerful ability. This one was 

But in this world, it should be enough to make Han Shun a skilled and powerful immortal. 

[As long as he doesn't know about his true power, that means everything will be okay.]

He checked the element of the root and identified it as water.

Han Shun's second but a lot weaker element was water. 

[Okay, let's just use this, make sure that Han Shun would never know about his true power.]

[Pupa: Are you sure this is the right thing to do?]

Yunyu stopped before he left Han Shun's consciousness, and he stared at Pupa confusedly. 

[Pupa: You know you're just hiding something inevitable, right? Han Shun will still recognize his true power later, when he gets older, and he can see through his own consciousness.]

[Yes, but I will tell him later, not now. Because he is still too young. Do you think there won't be a chance where Han Shun might kill someone out of annoyance? Anger? Or just simply because he wants to?]

[He needs to mature first and learn about self-control, kindness, and forgiveness. So he will be able to hold this kind of power.]

[Pupa:…]

Pupa still felt something was off, like an ominous feeling that something bad would happen if Yunyu concealed Han Shun's true power.

But Yunyu's answer and the intention were correct. Han Shun was just too young and immature to know his true potential. He needed to learn many things first, or else he would go mad with his own power.

Bai Shijue exited Han Shun's consciousness and opened his eyes. He patted Han Shun's shoulder and said, "Open your eyes. I've inspected your element just now."

Han Shun opened his eyes and turned his shoulder to face Bai Gege, "Bai Gege, how is it? Do I have an amazing spiritual root? What is my element?!"

Bai Shijue smiled and patted his head, "Your affinity is with water. You are suited to train under the waterfall and such. I will help you later, okay?"

"Water?" Han Shun frowned. He wasn't satisfied because he had zero affinity with water before. He liked fire more.

"Gege, I thought my affinity is fire, just like you…." Han Shun said. He saw how Bai Gege used his fire technique to heat up the residence, so, even in the coldest winter, they never felt cold at all.

Naturally, he wanted to be similar to Bai Gege in any way. He wanted to copy Bai Gege because that meant he would be closer to him.

But after this, he was disappointed in himself.

'So that means Bai Gege, and I have no similarity?' Han Shun thought. 'But I really want to be close with Bai Gege….'

Han Shun saw the disappointment, and he laughed heartily, "Why do you look so sad? Whatever your affinity is, you are still my disciple in the end. I will not abandon you just because you have a different element affinity than mine."

"Besides, your water affinity is very strong. I can sense that you will be a strong cultivator in the future. You can stay by my side and protect me if you want, as long as you cultivate diligently and train your body as well."

"Remember, Han Shun, no matter how different you are compared to me, I will never abandon you."

Han Shun stared at Bai Gege, who smiled at him with his bright smile, and his admiration for Bai Gege had been increased to an unimaginable level.

'Bai Gege… is the best person in the world….'

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 15%!]
