This is the "lock" connected between man and God.

The rules of this world are even more cruel than Gao Wen imagined.

Now, he finally knew why Melita had a painful reaction on the verge of losing control after she revealed her secrets about the anti-tide and gods several times. She knew what the real mechanism behind this was, and he once thought that it was the punishment given by the gods of the dragon clan to every dragon clan. However, now he realized that even the high dragon god was just a prisoner under this set of rules.

Gods are both chains, prisoners, and even executioners at the same time, and this entire "prison" is created by the mortals' own beliefs.

When the Dragon God saw Gao Wen thinking for a long time, he asked with a hint of curiosity: "What are you thinking?"

"I just thought about Melita, she told me some ancient things, and now I know how much risk she took at that time."

"Ah, Melita... is a child who left a deep impression on me," the Dragon God nodded. "It is difficult to see her complex traits like her in the younger dragon clan. She maintains a strong curiosity, has strong creativity, is passionate about action and exploration, grow up in the cradle of eternity, but is as vivid as the creatures 'outside'... The review group is an ancient and closed organization, but its young members have undergone such changes. It is indeed... interesting."

Are enterprising young members appearing in the ancient closed review group...

But Gao Wen suddenly thought of Melita's origin, and she and her "colleagues" were all born from factories and laboratories, and were customized employees of the company.

He restrained his slightly dissipated thoughts and redirected the topic back to the Anti-Tide Empire: "Then, since the Anti-Tide Empire, the Dragon Clan has never intervened in external affairs again... But the aftermath of that incident seems to have continued until today? What is the situation of the giant tower northwest of Tallond?"

"You already know a lot about the mechanisms of the birth and operation of gods, so you must also realize that in this world, a powerful group thought can 'project' on certain things, thereby causing the 'deification' phenomenon," the Dragon God said slowly, "The giant tower northwest of Tallond... It was originally the legacy of the setter, and it was also the place where the dragon clans allowed the 'initial enlightener' among them to accept the 'inheritance' when they supported the 'tide Empire'."

"Accept the inheritance?" Gao Wen immediately grabbed the word, "You mean to take advantage of the unique nature of the set sailor's relics..."

The Dragon God nodded: "Yes. The Settler's legacy has the power to record data, instill knowledge and experience, and influence biological thinking ability. Under proper guidance, the dragon clan, who can roughly choose what kind of knowledge and experience they can inherit, took a while to do this, and then brought the best scholars and thinkers in the Anti-Tide Empire to the tower.

"The experiment was fruitful, and they created a group of individuals with outstanding wisdom. Although mortals can only obtain a small part of their knowledge from the inheritance of the setter, this knowledge is enough to change the development route of a civilization."

Gao Wen had already guessed the subsequent development: "So the later Empire of Anti-Tide regarded that tower as a sanctuary of 'God'?"

"...The dragon clans did not expect the change and shortness of the short-lived species, and also miscalculated the greed level of civilization at that time," the dragon god sighed, "Those individuals returning from the tower did use the knowledge they inherited to make the Anti-Tide Empire quickly become stronger, but at the same time they also used this to make themselves the absolute leader of the divine power. The out-of-control and terrible belief was established from them as the source.

"In a series of propaganda, the tower located in the Arctic region became a sacred place for gods to descend and bless. Gradually, it was even said to be the residence of gods on the ground. In just a few hundred years, for the dragon clan, many generations of the Anti-Tide Empire passed by. They began to worship the tower and established a complete myth and worship system around the tower. When the Anti-Tide Rebellion broke out, the fanatical believers of the Anti-Tide Empire even shouted the slogan of "retaking back the Holy Land". They firmly believed that the tower was their holy land, and the Dragon clan was a heretic who stole the gifts of the Gods...

"Therefore, in a sense, the tower is actually the root cause of the outbreak of the Anti-Tide War. Once the crazy believers of the Anti-Tide Empire successfully pollute the legacy of the setter into a true 'god', then the whole world will have no future."

Gao Wen sighed: "I am not surprised that for the short-lived species, hundreds of years are enough to completely transform the real history and re-dress it, not to mention that it covers the need for divine power. So, the deification of the tower by the Anti-Tide Empire led to the birth of a...what thing?"

"Perhaps we can call it the 'God' of Anti-Tide," said the Dragon God lightly, "The millions of people in the Anti-Tide Empire firmly believe that there is a god who descended to bless the tower, so the god was born in response to the thoughts, and the tower left by the setter was polluted by the divine nature... I have to say that this is really ironic.

"In the whole incident, the only thing we are grateful for is that the 'god' born in the tower was not fully formed. Before the situation could not be restored, the 'tide-reversed' empire was destroyed, and the 'birth' process in the tower failed in the last step. Therefore, although the tower mutated and polluted, it did not produce real sanity and had no ability to take the initiative. Otherwise... Tallond today would be a hundred times worse than what you see."

"So the resistance of the Settler's legacy to the gods is not so absolute and perfect," Gao Wen laughed, "at least now we know that it is not as effective for the pollution it suffers from within itself."

"Maybe... Until today, we still have no way to know what changes have happened in the tower, nor do we know what the "tide-reverse god" born in the tower is in the state. We only know that the tower has mutated and has become very dangerous, but we can't do anything about it."

Gao Wen frowned: "Even you can't remove the divine pollution in that tower?"

"I can't get close to the legacy of the setter," the Dragon God shook his head, "and the Dragons cannot fight against the 'god' even the external gods, even the gods against the tide."

"This is also a 'lock'?!"

"This is also a 'lock'."

"Hiss..." Gao Wen suddenly felt a toothache. Since he came into contact with the truth about Tallond, he had felt this feeling more than the first time, "So you have been putting that tower at your doorstep? Just put it in that way?"

"There is no choice," said the Dragon God frankly. "At least we can monitor its situation at all times. If the tower is located in other parts of the world, it is a real danger. The belief in the tower has a strong tendency to spread knowledge outward. If it is allowed to contact other mortal civilizations, countless anti-tide empires will be born, and countless out-of-control divine disasters with the goal of the setter as the worshiper."

Speaking of this, the Dragon God suddenly glanced at Gao Wen: "Why, are you interested in going to that tower to take a look? Maybe you will not be affected by it."

"No, thank you," Gao Wen said without hesitation, "at least for now, I'm not very interested in it."

Just kidding, that is the legacy of the Settler that has actually mutated due to divine pollution. Basically, it has taken all the biggest risk factors in the world. Wouldn't you want to go back to the coffin if you rashly enter? Gao Wen believes that he has a certain resistance to divine pollution, but he knows that his resistance comes from the settler, and that tower is the legacy of the Settler after being polluted by divine nature. Whether his resistance is useful in front of that tower is completely unknown.

More importantly, he can use the "abstention agreement" to intimidate a rational dragon god, but he cannot intimidate a "tide-reverse god" who has not even developed his brain. That kind of thing cannot be beaten, and it cannot be discussed. It has no research value for Gao Wen... Why should he test it with his life?

After all, the curiosity about the Anti-Tide Empire was only considered a pastime for Gao Wen, and it was not considered a urgent need. In his opinion, the urgent need was not even as good as the Coke in the cup.

He picked up the oak cup full of "reflections" and took a sip and calmed down.

At some moment just now, he actually had another idea. If he set the "falling coordinates" of certain satellites and space stations in the sky on that tower, can he directly destroy it once and for all?

But this idea only emerged for a moment and was rejected by Gao Wen himself.

Because he was not sure that he was not sure that those space facilities could accurately crash on the tower, nor could he guarantee how effective it would be to use the legacy of the setter to smash the legacy of the setter.

Regarding the former, when using the system of Cangqiong Station to simulate the fall process of on-orbit facilities before departure, Gao Wen discovered that the fall errors of those old antiques are actually very large. The old system and the power deviation caused by energy shortages affect their fall accuracy. Although the base size of the tower may be as large as an island, the fall errors of those on-orbit facilities may directly deviate to Tallongde next to it...

This is why Gao Wen used abandoned satellites and space stations to deter the Dragon God, but he never thought that there were too many uncontrollable factors in the situation in the Loren continent. Of course, there was no need to consider it if it was used to smash Tarlond. Anyway, the dragon kingdom was so big that it would definitely be effective wherever it was smashed. However, in the Loren continent, many countries have a complex force. If a satellite engine deviates from a deviant, it might hit him. What's more, that thing is amazingly powerful and cannot be used in conventional wars...

And as for the latter... it is even more worth worrying.

It would be fine to use the satellite of the setter to smash the tower into ashes, but what if it is ineffective or just breaks the tower into a hole and releases the "thing" inside? Who is the responsibility?

After some thought and weighing, Gao Wen finally suppressed the urge to "pull a satellite down and listen to the sound", and tried hard to calm down, and continued to suck Coke with a serious and thoughtful expression.

The Dragon God looked at Gao Wen quietly. Perhaps He noticed the latter's thoughts, perhaps He was also thinking about the possibility of letting this "outsider wanderer" help solve the tower, but in the end He said nothing.

The topic of the Anti-Tide Empire and that tower seemed to have passed like this.

This seemingly awkward quiet lasted for two minutes, and Gao Wen suddenly spoke and broke the silence: "What is the setter...?"

"I thought you knew this very well," Dragon God raised his eyes, "After all, you have such a deep connection to those legacies..."

"I just came to this world and made connections with those heritages by chance," Gao Wen said frankly. He has been in this world for so many years and rarely encountered such occasions where he could speak calmly. However, he did not expect that the first person who could completely open his conversation with him was a "god". "I have lived with them for many years, but from those incomplete databases, I have not found any description of the Settler himself."

The Dragon God's gaze stayed on Gao Wen's face for a few seconds, as if he was judging the authenticity of this sentence. Then He smiled faintly: "The Setting Man... is also a mortal."

"Mortal?" Gao Wen's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, mortals, even if they are powerful and incredible, even if they can destroy the gods..." said the Dragon God calmly, "they still call themselves mortals, and insist on this."

"Okay... a race that insists on calling himself a mortal no matter what it is so powerful..." Gao Wen nodded, "Then what? How did they appear?"

"That was an even older age. The dragon race was only one of the several mortal races on this planet. The dragon race still existed as if it was ancient. The dragon god's voice sounded slowly, and the sound seemed to float from the other side of the distant river of history, carrying vicissitudes and memories, "The setter came from the depths of the universe and established observatories and outposts on this planet..."

"They come from the depths of the universe?" Gao Wen was surprised again, "Didn't they develop from this planet?"

"Of course not," the Dragon God shook his head, "their hometown is a more distant place, an ancient galaxy they call the "exile land."

"Exile?" Gao Wen couldn't help but frown, "This is a strange name... Then why did they build observatories and outposts on this planet? Is it for supply? Or scientific research? At that time, several civilizations, including dragons, have come into contact with the setters. Where are they now?"

"They all left with the Settlement and only the Dragon Clan stayed."

"Why? I... don't understand."

"Because at that time the dragon clan had developed too much on the wrong path and no longer had the conditions to leave, and the sailors... had to continue sailing. They still had their own mission and could not stay and wait for the dragon clan."

Noting that Gao Wen's face showed a more confused expression, the god smiled faintly, and the cups on the table were filled with cups again.
