Chapter 3311: Almost Everything
There was a pause, and then Great Elder Shan Gu let out a long breath. "The Verdant Sages seem to know everything that the other insects experience. They are incomprehensible creatures—it’s almost as if a pair of eyes were watching us from the very beginning, examining every move we made, all to eventually create a being to counter us at every step. That is what a Verdant Sage is.
"It knows everything and can use the abilities of all of the insects, but what's even more terrifying is…"
Great Elder Shan Gu stared intently at Lu Yin as a terrible fear appeared in the old man’s eyes. "Its learning ability."
Lu Yin was startled. "Learning ability?"
Shan Gu’s voice turned grave. "Verdant Sages possess the most exceptional comprehension I have ever encountered. In our megaverse, everything that our human civilizations had mastered, the Verdant Sage could also master. There were no exceptions. No matter how difficult the battle technique or the cultivation method was, the Verdant Sages could learn them all. There was nothing that they couldn’t master. Its learning ability is absolutely terrifying.
"What’s most frightening is that, before they reveal themselves, you can't identify them. If a Verdant Sage takes on the form of an insect, they will look exactly like any other insect. No one can tell that a seemingly unremarkable bug is actually a Verdant Sage, not unless it exposes its abilities. If they assume a human form, they will appear to be one of the most extraordinary geniuses in human history, a cultivator of unparalleled talent.
"To be honest, Lord Lu, there was a time when I suspected that you were a Verdant Sage."
Lu Yin was shocked, and he stared at Great Elder Shan Gu. "You're joking, right? Are the Verdant Sages really that powerful?"
The Great Elder sighed heavily. "In our megaverse, many incredible people were born, and some of our legendary ancestors even traversed the River of Aeons in order to join that final battle. At that time, we killed every last Verdant Sage. However, do you know what our success cost us, Lord Lu?"
