Chapter 321: Leviathan

The Conference of Sages was held under the direction of Sage Kang.

The Conference of Sages this time was filled with hostility. The three Sages of the academic faction, led by the Invincible Fist Sage, were engaged in an intense verbal confrontation with Sage Batai of the consortium faction.

Both parties held nothing back. However, there’s no knowing what benefits Sage Batai had promised that he actually got Sage Claus from the government faction to join his side.

The two sides were evenly matched and engaged in a fierce dispute.

The academic faction wanted Sage Batai to hand over the Guardian, but Batai absolutely would not hand over the Guardian. He even requested the disbandment of the League of Guardians, and the contribution of all the robot technology and energy weapons technology in the League of Guardians.

This was simply a blatant attempt to divide the spoils from the League of Guardians.

The Invincible Fist Sage was furious. Even Sage Kang’s mediation did not help.

In the end, under Sage Kang’s mediation, the Conference of Sages made a decision. The League of Guardians would continue to stand, but the energy weapon technology and robot technology could be sold publicly to the five major factions at appropriate “prices”.

The Invincible Fist Sage was very dissatisfied with such a decision. He turned off the projector and left without much ado. Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass also left in anger.

Sage Bingyu even directly accused Sage Kang of being “unjust”.

The Invincible Fist Sage and the other two Sages left the Conference of Sages. Sages Batai and Claus also left. The two Sages from the military who had not spoken much left as well.

Only Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi were left in the entire Conference of Sages.

“Yuanyi, am I really being unjust?” Sage Kang suddenly asked.

Sage Yuanyi had a complex expression. He understood Sage Kang’s difficulties, and he also understood that Sage Kang was wholly dedicated to considering the greater good.

However, sometimes, Sage Kang was too focused on the “greater good”, which resulted in serious consequences.

“Elder Kang, sometimes, the greater good in your eyes isn’t the greater good for everyone…”

With that, Sage Yuanyi left too.

Sage Kang looked up pensively, but he quickly made up his mind. He was not in the wrong. For the sake of the greater good, he could not allow the Sages to fight among themselves again.

However, in reality, from this Conference of Sages onwards, the Nine Sages of humanity were actually completely divided!

…

In the dark and cold underground river, a spear emitted dim light constantly in the darkness, giving it a mysterious and eerie air.

Only a mass of flesh was left of Lin Feng’s body, but it enveloped the huge scarlet crystal. It was the life core of a planetary lifeform. Although it was only a fragment of the life core, it was about one percent.

The fragment that was one percent of the life core was enveloped in Lin Feng’s flesh, which was vaguely devouring the life core fragment. The huge mass of flesh was also squirming constantly, attempting to condense again.

Lin Feng was plunged into darkness.

His consciousness seemed to have drifted into a vast cosmos. He seemed to have transformed into a strange behemoth that had lived in cold waters since he was young.

Moreover, he had a beautiful name, Leviathan!

Ever since it had memories, the Leviathan was the overlord of the water. It followed its instincts and constantly devoured the creatures in the water. Gradually, its body grew larger and larger, and occasionally, it would have a very strange feeling.

Finally, after some unknown tens of thousands of years, it became the undisputed overlord of all waters.

It began to go ashore. When it encountered some strange creatures resisting, it continued to devour them along the way. No power was capable of stopping it.

It yearned for that feeling, as if there was only one thought in its life, and that was to devour—devour in a frenzy.

Gradually, it sensed danger, as if the danger it was destined to encounter was about to arrive. It had made a lot of preparations for that day, and devoured everything on the continent in an incomparably frenzy.

There were some relatively powerful lifeforms in the past, but before its massive size, they were like ants that could not even fill its stomach.

Finally, the danger of the Leviathan arrived. Following ancient memories, or rather, instincts, its body was “desiring”, desperately “desiring” a transition in life.

And so, it exploded.

That moment was the most painful moment it had experienced since its birth. Countless fragments appeared in its memory. There was the cosmos; there was the universe.

And it was about to become a great lifeform that could traverse the universe!

Finally, it succeeded. Its body became larger than the entire world. It devoured the entire world, before finally completing its “metamorphosis”.

After completing its metamorphosis, it traveled the cosmos. Whenever it encountered a life planet, it would devour it wantonly.

Sometimes, it also encountered stronger lifeforms. Just a little aura could make it flee. Fortunately, it had obtained some innate abilities from its memories.

In the universe, it was very fast, shockingly fast. In the past, many lifeforms with stronger auras than it had wanted to pursue it, but they were all shaken off by its incredible speed.

The universe was lonely, and the memories came and went.

Suddenly, a huge hand appeared in the cosmos. Leviathan felt despair. Its huge body did not seem to have any resistance against the huge hand.

Boom.

It exploded. The Leviathan’s body exploded, but Lin Feng’s memory slowly awakened.

“I’m Leviathan?”

“No, I’m Lin Feng!”

Countless scenes appeared in his memory, from when he was young to when he became the tenth Sage of humanity. All of this was vivid in his mind. Perhaps, compared to the billions of years of memories of the Leviathan, Lin Feng’s mere 20 years of memories were insignificant.

However, these memories were unforgettable to Lin Feng. He would not forget them, even after a thousand or ten thousand years.

“I’m Lin Feng, I’m not the Leviathan! Just now, I was lost in the memories of the Leviathan?”

Lin Feng woke up. His consciousness resumed, and he realized that what had just happened was the memory of the Leviathan, and it was an incomplete memory.

That huge life core was probably the life core of the Leviathan. It contained the memories, energy, and essence of the Leviathan’s entire life.

Even though it was only a fragment that was one percent of a life core, it was incomparably powerful to Lin Feng.

“So life transitions are actually so simple…” Lin Feng muttered softly. “My body…”

However, Lin Feng quickly sensed that he did not even have a body now. There was only a mass of flesh, and his consciousness was attached to the life core.

As long as his consciousness remained, Lin Feng’s flesh and blood also had the “undying characteristic”. Hence, even if there was only a little flesh and blood left, he could still condense it again.

“Condense!”

With a thought from Lin Feng, a large amount of energy surged into the life core. The mass of flesh quickly condensed and expanded.
