Could these "corpses" be... gods?
In an instant, many of the mysteries in Chen Rui's mind became clear.
No wonder that all these years, neither the Demon Realm nor the surface world had ever witnessed a divine miracle—and yet supreme archangels like Michael had dared to steal, and successfully stolen, the God of Light's faith!
Chen Rui had once discussed the wandering spirits of the Land of Floating Specters with Leslie. Based on fragments of laws, Leslie had deduced that wandering spirits were likely formed after truly powerful beings were annihilated. These beings had been immensely strong in life, so even after death, their souls had not dispersed, becoming wandering spirits. Even the weakest wandering spirits in the Land of Floating Specters were at the Devil Emperor level.
The wandering spirits Chen Rui had encountered in the Land of Floating Specters, including the "ocean" Koresha had drawn over, were probably only a tiny fraction of that vast expanse. One could imagine the terrifying war that had occurred when those wandering spirits were formed. The death toll must have been several times greater than the number of wandering spirits.
That battle was very likely the legendary "Twilight of the Gods."
Together with these mysterious and powerful "corpses," it was enough to explain why the Land of Floating Specters contained so many powerful soul bodies. Compared with these supreme existences, Devil Emperor-level and kingdom-level beings—even demigods and false gods—were merely ants easily sacrificed.
