Amber's talent was too low, and everything he now possessed was due to Divine Favor, so he couldn't wield any so-called power of Divine Favor.
His Divine Favor was constantly in effect, enhancing his talent.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu finally understood why this Divine Son Amber's style was completely different from others.
He had to admit, Amber had skills; mingling among a group of genuine Divine Sons without getting exposed at all. If it weren't for Su Tu having Candle Wisdom's blessing, he wouldn't have sensed anything strange about this guy.
After learning all this, Su Tu was speechless for a moment, then continued to ask.
"There should be some connection among you Divine Sons, right? Take me to find other Divine Sons."
"Can't find them. Under Eternal Night, our senses are all concealed from each other; this darkness belongs to the Void Spirits."
Amber spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu's expression changed instantly. This foreign Divine Son truly knew something.
Just as Su Tu was about to inquire further, his gaze trembled slightly. At the moment his fingertip lifted, the Thousand-Change Gilded Gold transformed into a rain of arrows descending from the sky.
Thud! Thud!!
"Aoo!"
"Ahhh!!"
Suddenly, sounds of flesh being pierced and agonized screams came from under the Eternal Night.
[Successfully killed a Void Spirit, battle merit increased by fifty]
[Successfully killed a Void Spirit, battle merit increased by fifty]
[Successfully...]
These were the beasts drawn here. In fact, during Su Tu's skirmish with the two Divine Sons earlier, many beasts had roared and charged over but were obliterated by the fight's shockwaves before getting close.
These creatures were just like that: without any emotion, rushing recklessly as long as they caught a whiff of human scent, their instinctual hatred driving them to try biting a piece of flesh off even in death.
The golden rain of arrows stopped after a few moments, the entire assaulting beasts turned into a part of Su Tu's battle merit on his waist token.
Then Su Tu gently pulled with his hand, only seeing the Thousand-Change Gilded Gold forming into a giant net, bringing back a carcass of a dead beast.
"Is this what you meant by Void Spirit?"
Pointing at the dead beast on the ground, Su Tu spoke. The beast was pallid all over, its face resembling an owl, with red streaks on both cheeks.
"Yes, this is a Void Spirit, each tribe captures a large number of low-level Void Spirits for trial use within the tribe."
Amber nodded.
"What is Eternal Night, what are Void Spirits and Void!!" Su Tu's voice became solemn as he looked earnestly at Amber.
Previously on the Celestial City Star, beasts were rushing towards the Ultimate Gate left by the Martial God, and the Heart-faced Beast King even claimed to be a Void Spirit, frequently mentioning a place called Void.
At the same time, during the explosion of his airship when a Celestial Being was about to take him away, an existence interfered, preventing the Celestial Being from breaking through the void.
At that time, the Celestial Being suspected it was the work of a Daoist Master, exclaiming "Daoist Master."
However, Su Tu felt an intense aversion inside, akin to the feeling of a beast, which was, in essence, a Void Spirit!
Strangely enough, that Celestial Being did not display such an instinctual aversion.
It was like how the candidates felt towards these beasts under Eternal Night, calling them Night Monsters without any other sensation, while Su Tu felt instinctual aversion to these creatures.
They are beasts!! Su Tu confirmed this without a doubt.
Neither Celestial Beings nor the candidates felt the aversion towards 'beasts.'
All these made Su Tu very puzzled, but now, it seemed the mystery was finally starting to unravel.
Eternal Night is an environment, a domain, and also a method. Under Eternal Night, all external perceptions for living beings are restricted, like sight, hearing, taste, touch, and heart, while Void Spirits can move freely under the darkness.
Moreover, they enhance their various attributes, greatly improving combat power and recovery capability.
Currently, in the Star River, the civilizations that can wield Eternal Night are, besides the five super civilizations, only the Human Race, the Seven Great Alliances, and twelve other civilizations.
Amber, whose understanding was distorted, just like an AI response tool, didn't hide anything from Su Tu when answering his questions.
And the Void Spirits and the Void itself signify a catastrophe, a disaster that nearly destroyed...
The whole Star River!!
Su Tu's expression grew more contemplative as Amber's narration unfolded.
According to Amber, back when the Human Race Federation barely stabilized, the Martial God disappeared, the Ten Heavens upheld the Human Race, and the Star River entered a short-term peace.
During that time, Eternal Night descended from the fringe of the Star River, bringing forth creatures proclaiming themselves as Void Spirits with it.
They were extremely savage and brutal, possessing unimaginable power for normal beings; even the lowest Void Spirit had combat power equivalent to a normal Tier Two species.
Every planet covered by Eternal Night became the hunting ground for Void Spirits, killing every creature they encountered, as Eternal Night devoured each star it engulfed.
The stronger Void Spirits were even more terrifying; their combat power could not be measured by normal realms, and there was once a Daoist Master above a super civilization who stood against the ever-encroaching Eternal Night.
He attempted to communicate with the Void Spirits. However, upon entering Eternal Night, he was immediately obliterated, with his heart and spirit only narrowly surviving by retreating into his cultivated Dao.
That Daoist Master above brought back one piece of information: the Void Spirits weren't a Star River civilization but came from another collapsing Star River universe.
They wanted to completely seize the entire Star River!
Thus, war erupted!!
This was a war transcending civilization and race, concerning the entire Star River Universe!!
All civilizations united, and after countless universe-shaking wars, the Void Spirits were driven out of this Star River, forced back into their collapsing Star River universe.
That side of the collapsing Star River Universe was hence referred to as the Void.
"Even now, at the edge of the whole Star River, there still exists a blood-red battle line, composed of the flesh and bones of countless powerful beings of all races."
"Every civilization dispatches people to guard that battle line."
"This is one of the opportunities for peace among the myriad tribes today."
Amber spoke numbly.
After hearing all this, Su Tu's brows knitted slightly. He sensed something strange; if according to Amber's explanation, the Void Spirit invasion was a major upheaval for the entire Star River.
Then why was there no record of it in the histories of various tribes? Su Tu had searched through various forums and even accessed other civilizations' networks, but found no relevant information when he first heard of the Void Spirits.
"I don't know. It's the result of deliberations from the Star River meeting among the myriad tribes; the Void Spirits were erased from history, only a few can access the information."
"We, the Divine Sons, are connected to the gods, hence we know about the Void Spirits."
Su Tu nodded slightly. The entire Star River deeply concealed information about the Void Spirits. He had asked Mu Wuyang if he had ever heard of the Void Spirits, but Mu Wuyang knew nothing.
Bear in mind, Mu Wuyang was born in the Qiankun Sacred Land, and his status was not low, yet he was unaware of the Void Spirits' existence, showing the extent of the information blockade.
"Void Spirits, beasts..."
Su Tu rubbed his chin, his mind swirling in a mist.
Void Spirits originated from another collapsing Star River, and so-called 'beasts' were, in reality, foreign races like Amber but bore intense malevolence towards the Human Race, thus labelled as 'beasts' by humanity.
Beasts had inherent malice towards the Human Race, and humanity, in turn, instinctively loathed beasts.
However, when Su Tu faced these Void Spirits, he felt the same aversion as when confronting beasts, and his battle merit token even recognized the two beasts he slew on Ancestor Star as Void Spirits.
All of this indicated that Void Spirits and beasts were a single entity.
Yet, this didn't make sense; according to logic, beasts should be native races of this Star River.
Su Tu's eyes flickered with insight.
"Amber, do you know the Xie Race..."
Su Tu asked again, as the Xie Race was the first 'beast' he had killed.
"I have some impression."
Amber nodded, speaking.
But upon hearing this, Su Tu's brows furrowed deeply, sensing something amiss.
"What impression do you have? Did the Xie Race once also battle against the Void Spirits?"
"Yes!" Amber stated emphatically.
"Who told you about the Xie Race? Do you remember all races that participated in the war? If not, why do you specifically remember the Xie Race?"
Su Tu peppered questions like a barrage.
Hearing this, Amber was first stunned, then his expression twisted horridly like an evil spirit, and his heart and spirit began to tremble violently.
Seeing Amber's reaction, Su Tu felt a chill down his spine.
A chilling idea welled up in Su Tu's mind...
A terrifying conjecture.
