This was a great discovery fo Jiang Xiu. Something had caused an ordinary person to evolve so much without the use of a divinity cultivation technique. If it was him, he could've evolved much more. Jiang Xiu wished to ask the man about the reason he had become like this.
He asked, "Mr. Xie, since when did you start feeling weird?"
Xie Sanxian used the cap and mask to cover himself again while shaking his head to indicate he couldn't speak. The woman replied on his behalf, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. He hasn't been able to speak ever since he has become like this."
"The reason he didn't speak is that others wouldn't understand him even if he did and get scared. If I have guessed it right, your voice has also transformed into a beast-like cry."
Xie Sanxian turned his head towards Jiang Xiu. When he spoke, his voice seemed like that of a beast's cry. Though there were pauses as well as different pitches in between, he wasn't speaking a human language, "You can understand me?"
The woman and the girl were frightened.
"Why won't I? I naturally understand your words because I know what's your illness?"
Xie Sanxian was excited, "I beg you, please save me."
His voice was still the same as a beast's roar as if he was speaking the language of the beasts.
"First tell me how did you end up like this?"
Xie Sanxian pondered for a moment then replied, "I'm also not sure about the reason, but it's all because of a goose-egg sized stone. It was fine when it was left on display but heated up when held in hand and also strange characters appeared on it."
"The seller told me that it was a common ore when I bought it, that it would invite Wealth. I'm a businessman, so I bought the stone after knowing that it has such a magical effect. I kept it in my office and often used to touch it."
"Then, I started vomiting blood one day. The doctor at the hospital said that I might have been poisoned and that my organs show signs of failure. I immediately thought of that stone and got it checked. The result was that it was radioactive material."
"What did you do with the stone?"
"I was quite angry at that time and wished to throw it away, but I thought that the stone might help with the treatment of my illness, so I kept it at my home."
"Mr. Jiang, can I be saved?"
The woman and the girl were utterly dumbfounded on the side. They were shocked that Jiang Xiu could converse with Xie Sanxian. The girl asked curiously, "Mr. Jiang, do you understand what my father is saying?"
The mother-daughter were both curious.
Jiang Xiu nodded with a faint smile.
It was a low-level divine language.
At the Immortal Martial Continent, most of the divinities awakened to this language, so Jiang Xiu naturally understood it. He could even speak it, but that would only make others think he was a monster.
"Can my father be saved?"
It might be a difficult thing to evolve into a god, but it's easy to devolve into an ordinary human, Jiang Xiu thought.
The reason Xie Sanxian had become like this was that his body couldn't withstand the energy during the evolution process.
"It's easy to save him!"
The three of them were extremely happy after hearing this.
"It'll hurt a but so endure it…" He reached out and touched the Yin Hall on Xie Sanxian's forehead to destroy the divinity source.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" Xie Sanxian screamed with pain like an injured beast.
This attack was fatal to a divinity cultivator and almost equivalent to crippling the person, but it was the saving grace to Xie Sanxian. As the divinity source was destroyed, he wouldn't evolve anymore, and his condition wouldn't worsen for the time being.
The scales on his face released a faint luster. This was an instinctive resistance by Xie Sanxian's body, but it was instantly destroyed by Jiang Xiu's power. When the light dimmed, the scales on his face had disappeared.
Although Xie Sanxian didn't evolve much, he still possessed a little divine force. The next step was to take that divine force way. Black energy came out of his body then got absorbed into Jiang Xiu's body through his index finger. The divine force was assimilated into his own power after entering his body.
Bzzzttt!
Jiang Xiu seized the opportunity to attack the Awakening stage's 32nd Mythical realm. The 32nd divine regalia slowly appeared on his arm.
The power seemed inadequate, yet Jiang Xiu couldn't allow it to go to waste. He surged the energy in his body to breakthrough forcibly, making his blood rush up crazily.
Breaking through with force was quite dangerous as it would result in massive injuries to the body in case it failed and would require a lengthy amount of time to recover from them, but in case it succeeded, it would bring out the potential of the Godhead.
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
Xie Sanxian screamed loudly as the divine force got sucked out from his body. His pain-filled voice was enough to make a person's blood run cold. The mother-daughter pair to the side was shivering in fear.
They felt Xie Sanxian might go mad.
"Sanxian!"
"Father!"
No matter how much he struggled on the ground, Jiang Xiu's finger at his forehead was pressing him down like a mountain, making him unable to move.
Boom!
Jiang Xiu's divinity factor in Jiang Xiu's bloodline exploded again, breaking through another wall. It gathered back after that, making the divine force in his body surge up. The 32nd divine regalia became more evident as well.
This divine regalia was a bit longer and inclined to the left. It was 3-4 cm long and the longest glyph at present. From this one, the pattern's outline had become much evident.
It was quite a pity that Jiang Xiu couldn't recognize this character.
Although Jiang Xiu was an old monster who had cultivated for 3 millenniums, it was impossible for him to know all the characters. Some of them were created in small tribes while some were secrets of a race. It was impossible for Jiang Xiu to know about these ones.
It still wasn't enough. From Jiang Xiu's observation until now, there were two possibilities for his race. It was either a primordial divinity or an entirely new type of divinity which had never appeared in this world.
"Haaaahh!"
Xie Sanxian's pain had reduced after all the divine force got sucked out. He took a relaxed breath.
The mother-daughter pair asked nervously, "How do you feel?"
"A lot better!" Xie Sanxian replied.
When a human evolves into a God, the body functions will all experience a transformation so it would feel quite unwell, much worse than what a woman feels during menstruation. Compared to that, this was a complete change of race, so it was naturally hard to adapt.
He naturally felt better now. It would never occur to him that he had become human again.
"Father, you can speak normally again!"
They noticed that Xie Sanxian could speak human language again.
"I can? Really…"
Xie Sanxian spoke a few more sentences. Though it sounded quite vague, it was possible to understand what he was saying. He revealed glee in his eyes which had turned back from vertical pupils to human again.
"Your organs will recover slowly. You only need to take rest to get better."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang… Thank you very much…"
The three of them expressed their gratitude.
"It's fine. Mr. Xie, can you give that stone to me? It's useless to you anyways."
Xie Sanxian naturally agreed to it. He was ready to promise any request his benefactor made, let alone that stone was the reason for the harm done to him, so he was eager to give it away. "I don't have the stone with me, it's at my home in Pinghai."
"I'll have it delivered to your home in a few days."
Jiang Xiu shook his head, "There's no need for so much trouble. It's best if you don't let others touch that thing. You can just give it to me when I make a trip to Pinghai."
"I shall follow Mr. Jiang's plans."
Jiang Xiu was afraid that the stone would deify another person or that it would get lost.
As he hadn't seen the stone yet, he couldn't make out why it had deified Xie Sanxian, but it was worth it for him to research this stone as it could help him with his cultivation.
Jiang Xiu was quite curious about what kind of stone this was that it could evolve Xie Sanxian into a divinity. He had never heard of such a thing on the Immortal Martial Continent.
Only, there were mysterious things in the multitude of worlds. Each place had its own specialty. Just because it didn't exist on the Immortal Martial Continent doesn't mean it didn't exist on Earth. Just like how cell phones existed on Earth but not on the Immortal Martial Continent. There were many shocking discoveries left to be unearthed on Earth.
The others were all astonished after seeing Xie Sanxian walk out. They realized that Jiang Xiu not only possessed high strength but also had top medical skills.
