Chapter 1447 - Primordial Laws
Liu Wuxie understood how foolish his question sounded, yet he still voiced it. If no one was supposed to eat Corpse Wraiths, then why had Gong Gong started chewing on them as if they were some rare delicacy?
There had to be a reason behind it, and Liu Wuxie was determined to know it.
His relationship with Gong Gong didn't qualify as friendship, but enmity didn't fit either. It barely counted as cooperation. At best, they maintained a simple relationship of supply and demand: he provided Gong Gong with witcher energy, and in return, Gong Gong would act only in true life-and-death crises to keep him alive.
Earlier, he had called out to Gong Gong several times to deal with the flower faces, yet Gong Gong couldn't be bothered to respond. That alone proved that he had no authority to command him.
Even so, while Gong Gong ignored his summons, he would never allow Liu Wuxie to die; if Liu Wuxie perished, his supply of witcher energy would vanish with him.
"The Corpse Wraiths possess primordial laws, and they're useful to me," Gong Gong said. He didn't actually enjoy eating Corpse Wraiths, nor did he like their taste, but the primordial laws within them made them valuable.
Strictly speaking, the Witcher Clan and the Corpse Wraiths came from the same era, which explained why their bodies shared certain similarities.
"Primordial laws... I see... No wonder they can disregard the spatial restrictions," Liu Wuxie murmured with a nod. At last, he understood how the Corpse Wraiths had slipped through the Divine Heavenly Feather Robe's defenses.
No one knew how many years had passed since the primordial era. It could have been hundreds of millions, tens of billions, or even longer; no one could say for sure.
The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron stirred restlessly while the Divine Purgatory Palace descended from above, crushing one of the Corpse Wraiths. A strand of primordial law emerged from the impact and streaked straight into the desolate world.
The moment that strand of primordial law entered, thunderous rumbling rolled throughout the desolate world, like a colossal mountain crashing down from the heavens. Immediately afterward, the desolate world began to expand.
During Liu Wuxie's last few breakthroughs, the desolate world had stopped expanding as it once did, and only his true essence continued to purify.
