Chapter 82 The Troubled Dragon God
One of the main gods of the water god, Lord Wendy, the great lake and river master, is also a very ancient god, just like other main gods born in entities. She has existed in the world since the seeds of faith began to sprout. Although she was a young woman in the mortal world, based on the time of personality, her existence is actually far older than the Silver Moon and the Dark Moon, and she was born no longer than the Mother of the Earth, and she can be said to be one of the oldest gods.
Water is soft and nourishes all things, and so is Lord Wendy. It always gives people the feeling of being weak and gentle. This is already a fixed image of her in the hearts of believers. However, most people have forgotten one thing that has almost nothing in the world that can stop the erosion of flowing water over the years. They even ignored it intentionally or unintentionally. The flood that devours all the destruction of everything is actually a symbol of Lord Wendy.
Yes, there is actually a very aggressive side in Lord Wendy's image. In fact, when she shows violence, her threat is even stronger than the Lord of Fire Ovregan. This is because she doesn't like to always do this. She usually hides her aggressiveness under her gentle appearance.
"Why?" Shure suddenly asked a question, "I have contacted Lord Wendy more than once. Although mortals are not qualified or capable of speculating on the will of the gods, I think I may be an exception. At least I am qualified now. Judging from my experience in contact, Lord Wendy will not target you for no reason, and there is no record of conflicts with you in the classics. Well, at least not before the pioneering era, so there must be a reason for her doing this. What triggered the anger of the Soft Water?"
"This question..." Segris did not question Seur's claim to be qualified. He did already have this qualification, but Segris's question was also quite sharp. "Do you want to judge whether we are right or wrong?"
"Praise the Lord of the Dragon, your power is beyond your reach." But what about your mind? Shuer rolled his eyes quickly and secretly, "When is there a right or wrong in the dispute over interests?"
"Ha, I like this view." Segris seemed very satisfied with Seur's answer. "I invited you here, not to make you judge right or wrong. There was no right or wrong in my dispute with the gods."
"In the first few hundred years, although smart creatures gradually eroded the wilderness, they were relatively small in scale, and they were only on the edge, and children had a broad living space. Therefore, I don't care, and I just regarded these as spontaneous behaviors of smart creatures' ignorance."
"What about actually?"
"In fact, it is indeed a spontaneous act of ignorance." Segris shook his huge head, "most of them didn't even know that we existed in the wilderness."
Of course I don't know. If Moria hadn't mentioned it, Shuer would have no idea.
"But as time goes by, they are getting more and more excessive, and we can't continue to watch. So, although the Dragon Clan did not join the battle, they instructed the intelligent bodies among the children and led their clans to destroy a large number of cities that went deep into the wilderness. This was how the conflict between Wendy and I first arose." Segris sighed softly, well, very light, that was, a strong wind was just a blow, "As for the gradual intensification, that was later."
"Oh, poor healing priest." Although Segris was vague, how could Shure not understand that Lord Wendy's priest has always been the most professional healing divine technique among all priests. Having a healing priest in an adventure team means safety guarantee. For activities as dangerous as the pioneer of the wilderness, of course, a large number of healing priests are required to hire a support from the pioneer city. However, the dragons and mythical beasts are interested in distinguishing which human being is the priest of which god. Therefore, under the war, the priests of the Temple of Water suffered heavy losses, probably more than the priests of all other gods combined.
Although the gods will not interfere with the life and death of believers at will with their own will, it is only for normal circumstances that the dragon clan's participation in the war is abnormal, and not to mention that it is an undeclared battle, it is no wonder that Lord Wendy was furious about it.
"Wandy did not directly intervene in the war, but since then, those countries with her main belief have become more active in the development of wilderness and exaggerated their gains, which has attracted all countries to follow suit. In addition, there are also a large number of weapons and equipment blessed by gods in the development team. It is impossible for her to be without her support."
"If we only do this, we may be able to endure it, but the safe life for too long has made those intelligent creatures forget their awe of the powerful. When they see the figure of our dragon clan and know that we are worshipped by our children, they dare to attack us and want to kill the dragon. Some people even shouted the slogan of being the first dragon-slaying warrior."
Isn't it good to live? Shuer really wants to dig out those people from the soil and ask them this question himself. If you think about some things in your heart, you will be satisfied. If you have to take action, you will be seeking death. In his opinion, it is like running into a civilized world and chanting the slogan of killing gods and attacking gods, death is not worthy of sympathy at all.
"It seems we have reached a consensus on this point." Segris saw Shure's idea at a glance, "The Dragon Clan also thinks they deserve to die, so they joined the war."
"Huh?" Shuer raised his eyebrows, "Have you participated in the war personally? Why are there no records of the war between Zhonghe Dragon Clan?"
Segris didn't answer, but just looked at him quietly.
"Okay, I understand." Yes, all the intelligent creatures participating in the war were dead, how could there be any record?
"Odin, I remember you even participated in the war in person."
"Yes...father." Odin glanced at Shure and nodded, "and more than once."
"It was probably the participation of the dragon clan in the war that triggered the conflict between Wendy and me." Segris naturally accepted Odin's name. No wonder the relationship between the two dragons is quite special. It turned out to be the inheritance of the father and the son. "Wandy united a large number of gods and declared war on my kingdom of gods. At the same time, the servants of these gods also began to fight against the wilderness with the troops of the temple. Some gods even personally descended their forces to attack the members of the dragon clan, and many dragons died because of this. There is no doubt that this is a signal of a full-scale war. As for what happened afterwards, you should already know it now."
Yes, of course I know that the gods lost the second duel. Under the threat of Segris' death, the pioneering steps had to stop, and fierce conflict broke out between the gods, and thus, the age of chaos came.
"Okay, all the doubts about the whole thing have been solved." Shur smiled bitterly. Lord Anika, although you know you are probably kind, before letting me understand this subversive content, can you give me a reminder to make me mentally prepared, otherwise I will be very distressed. Unfortunately, no matter how distressed it is, it may not be able to change to Anika's sympathy. She was already very kind if she didn't laugh aside, so Shur could only sigh, "Then your current state... is not just a matter of lifespan."
"Have you ever seen a precedent for turning from a god back into a mortal?"
Sorry, I have never seen the precedent of turning from a mortal into a god with my own eyes. But I can only think about this in my heart. Shuer shook his head vigorously and said, "There has never been such a record."
"Well, because I am the only one who has done this so far. Although I was forced to try it out loudly, before me, even those gods didn't know that they could do this." Segris's voice was a little proud, "The body of the mortal world cannot bear the will and power of the gods. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to suppress the strength and will to the extent that the body can bear?"
"Ha?" Just kidding, that's that simple?
"No, it's not simple at all." At a glance, he could see what Shure was thinking. Segris explained, "There is no simple thing in the world of gods. In fact, it is a very complicated process and extremely energy-consuming."
"I want to use my will to maintain my will while suppressing my will, and use my own power to maintain my own power while suppressing my own power." It was like a tongue twister, but Shuer was frightened to find that he actually understood, "After this, the steps to be promoted to a god were just reverse. Destroy the divine body, destroy the divine character, and then use his will to wrap the broken divine character and divine power to return to his original body together."
"The essence of this method is to deceive the world's laws, so that the laws think that the Dragon God has fallen and even the divine nature has been destroyed. Therefore, the authority of the Dragon God dissipates, and it will not be recondensed until the next dragon god appears. However, in fact, the divine nature, including the will of the gods, has not been completely destroyed, but has been hidden in my body by me. Therefore, the belief in the Dragon God will continue to gather into the divine grace in my body, allowing me to use the power of the gods."
"Oh." Shur nodded with a numb look on his face. He didn't know what to say. This was completely a way to kill opponents between gods. It was simply... unable to comment on him.
"It's crazy, right? It sounds impossible to succeed, but it turns out that I've been back successfully." Silver Dragon's face showed a very similar expression to humans, which was a helpless smile. "It's a pity that I realized after I returned to my original body that things were not as easy as I thought."
"I must always try my best to suppress the will and power of God's Gate, and suppress the range that my body can bear. The proportion of suppression is not one percent or one thousand, but it is so small that it is difficult to describe it by numbers. In other words, I will suppress the will and power of the gods with the insignificant will that the only remaining body can bear."
"Raise yourself up."
"Haha, it's almost the same thing, but I still did it. The problem is that you can't relax a little after you come back, otherwise the power that the gods can bear will instantly burst my body and destroy my will." Silver Dragon said with a wry smile, "But this is just the beginning, and the real troublesome thing has not yet happened."
"Tsk tsk, I've seen trouble." Shure had no malice, it was hard to hide the ridiculous mockery in his tone. He was not mocking the Dragon God, but ridiculous fate. "Who could have thought in advance that the source of trouble was the continuous power of faith?"
"Yes, the gathering of faith is very deadly. Every time a trace of faith is gathered, it is tantamount to me, but the ridiculous thing is that it cannot be left out, because I must rely on the power of faith to maintain the broken divine nature, otherwise once the divine nature dissipates, the overflowing divine power will completely destroy my existence."
"How to replace all the energy systems for the illuminated crystal lamps in an environment that needs to be illuminated by crystal lamps." Shuer's expressionless face, which is a global problem, "So even the dragon clan is decreasing his belief in you?"
"Well, the dragon clan's belief in me is still there, and it is equally pious. It's just that it's no longer so fanatic, and there are no more rituals. This can suppress the supply of the power of faith to the lowest level, otherwise I will not be able to hold on now." Segris sighed, "But it's almost impossible to hold on. For thousands of years, every day has been a huge test for me. Even though I have been relying on sleep to recover most of the time, my will has become exhausted and I can't bind my will. Moreover, although I am very closed, the divine power is still affecting my body, forcing my body to maintain a state of self-repair all the time, leading to rapid aging. It's just that thousands of years have passed, and for my body it seems like hundreds of thousands of years has passed. As you can see, my body is almost unable to hold on."
"Wait, I have a question." Suer suddenly felt something was wrong, "Is the war between you and the gods still going on?"
"Of course not, the war has ended, and the actual end was before the beginning of the chaotic era, and the signing of the formal agreement was at the end of the chaotic era." Segris asked in confusion, "Is there any problem?"
"Well, since the war has ended, why do you still have to keep this state? Since you have signed a formal treaty, I think with your experience of being cheated once, there should be no more loopholes. No need to worry about the safety of the wilderness. Who are you still intimidating?" Shul asked with confusion, "Even if you don't trust Lord Wendy and think she will deceive you, you should at least understand the current situation of the gods in the civilized world. The credibility of the temple of the gods is still enough, let alone Lord Kaiya's statement. So I really can't understand why you didn't restore the identity of the Dragon God."
"Yes, why?" Segris sighed deeply, "because I can't go back."
"ha?"
Before, Shuer had already admired Segris very much, had the courage, had the brain, and was decisive enough. He was worthy of being the leader of the previous generation of dragons who dared to challenge the gods with his body in the world and could use his own strength to create the end of the era. Every step he took was just right, and his body could not hold on in the end. It was just that there had never been a similar precedent. If he had to explore blindly, it would inevitably lead to deviations, which could not be considered his mistake.
In Shure's opinion, a person who can make such an accurate and decisive decision cannot really cut off the retreat completely. He may have to end his life due to the situation, but at least when making plans, he will definitely leave a way out for himself. Therefore, Segris's answer exceeded his expectations, and even with his mind, he blinked blankly and did not react for a moment.
"I still underestimate the gods too much. Haha, I am a god, but I can even underestimate the gods." Segris shook his head helplessly, "I have indeed planned it before. After the problem is solved, I will use the beliefs of the dragon clan and the giant beasts to re-trace the path of promotion and re-trace the authority of the gods. Indeed, for all creatures, the process of promoting the gods is actually quite dangerous. Even if I make all preparations, the possibility of success is only five percent at most. Re-trace the path of promotion is equivalent to betting on the 5 percent chance again. But I am an exception. I have divine nature and there is another more important reason. I have walked this path on the contrary. I have a very thorough understanding of it. If I go by it, I can be sure that I can be 100% successful."
Shuer did not interrupt Segris, but his pupils contracted slightly. He already knew why a god who liked to jump and eat grass. He wanted to come to cooperate with the dragon clan and let him know these secrets.
"But, just like your joke just now, on how to replace all the energy systems for the illuminated crystal lamps in an environment that needs to be illuminated by crystal lamps."
"Hmm?" Shur pondered, "Is it because he wants to suppress his will and power?"
"It can be said that, but it can also be said that on the contrary, I only understood it when I returned to my body." Segris explained, "The authority of a god cannot be handed over to two different dragon gods at the same time, nor can I condense two divine bodies."
"Hiss, I understand." Shuer took a deep breath. It was a hell of trouble. If you want to re-advance the path of promotion and re-emphasize the divine power, you must first completely dissipate the already damaged divine nature. Only in this way can the world law successfully shape a new divine nature with Segris' will and let him return to the throne of the dragon god. However, the divine nature is the carrier for him to hide and suppress his will, and once the divine nature is dissipated...
"Well, the moment I dissipated, I will be completely destroyed from my will to my body. Simply put, it is bursting by my own power." Segris slapped on the ground again, and said in a dull voice, "So I need to find a way that can temporarily act as a divine character and dissipate the divine character, so I said your metaphor is really too accurate."
"In fact, there is still a way. As long as the requirements are not so strict, it is not an unsolvable problem."
"Yes, I know there is a way." Unexpectedly, Segris was not surprised at all. "When changing the energy, wouldn't it be better to use other crystal energy lamps to temporarily illuminate them, right?"
"Yes, there is no one who stipulates that there is only this crystal lamp to illuminate." Shur squinted his eyes and said softly, "Isn't it better to ask a god you trust to help you temporarily suppress it."
