Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3405 The Best Time to Plant Trees

"Ergon the Harmonious Hermit, Ergon the Monster, Ergon the Spirit of the Earth, which name should I use to describe you?"

Lopez slowly put on the blood-stained coat that Ergon had just thrown out to block the disordered attack, and his already cold temperament suddenly showed majesty and arrogance.

Yes, a coat makes you look elegant.

He thought he could decide the life and death of the two earth guardians and the hermit at will, and he had complete control over the situation.

The fatal blow just now hit them, but Ye Lin did not come to rescue. It seems that what the old fox said was true. Ye Lin was seriously injured.

"Ergon, you died tragically in the cloudless night. How many deaths have you experienced?"

His casual question shocked Grayson and Scribben. Their pupils dilated instantly and they subconsciously turned to look at Ergon. The other party had returned to a short shape with a tail and animal ears.

If Lopez is not lying, then there is a very shocking secret hidden in this... The powerful Hermit has actually died, and it sounds like it happened more than once.

How can it be!

Ergon's hairy face showed no expression. He said calmly, "It was probably the forty-sixth. I can't remember exactly, but it should be the forty-sixth."

He didn't take the number of deaths seriously, as if they were just trivial matters.

Grayson turned his head and looked at Scribben, and they saw the horror in each other's eyes. The hermit actually admitted it like that. Lopez accidentally revealed a secret that was unknown to others.

However, considering that the Awakening Forest has the ability to resurrect mythical beasts of a certain realm or those that have lived there all year round, the Hermit's constant rebirth is not very difficult to accept. After all, his true form has just been revealed, a huge fox with white fur and pink in some places.

"So, after which resurrection did you break through to the realm of the Transcendent?"

"It should be the forty-sixth time."

Having died too many times, it is easy to lack vivid memories of some repeated but boring lives, and forget what you did in those lives. However, breaking through and surpassing others is something worth celebrating, worth being happy about, and worth remembering.

The rebirth that he has a clearer memory of is the first one, which is his second life.

Wondering why he was resurrected after death and where he was, he broke out of the shell and wandered around aimlessly in a confused state. He did nothing in his life and was soon eaten by powerful beasts.

The experience of rebirth was too awkward... In the original Awakening Forest, the divine beasts could be reborn with their memories.

The nineteenth rebirth, which is the twentieth life, is also worth remembering, because at that time Ergon finally secretly learned the star language used by humans.

For a divine beast that possesses outstanding intelligence, quick thinking, a complete personality and world outlook, it often feels lonely living among its less intelligent peers.

Ergon wanted to communicate with those creative humans, but humans called all non-human life in the White Sea... monsters. Humans believed that those who were not of my kind must have different hearts.

It was not until many years later that some wise and far-sighted people among humans divided the monsters in the White Sea into two types: one was an actively aggressive monster, and the other was a gentle beast that could get along with humans.

"Haha, old fox..." Lopez suddenly laughed. After getting the information from Ergon, a sarcastic and almost twisted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which seriously damaged his rather mature and cold face.

Immediately, Lopez raised his hand and grabbed his hair, his fingers tightening. He used the stinging pain on his scalp to recall some more painful memories. He suddenly stared at Ergon and said loudly: "So you still haven't woken up! You died because of the Cloudless Night, and your transcendence was taken after the Cloudless Night. I also died because of the Cloudless Night. All disasters come from the Cloudless Night, from the God of Mist's wanton manipulation of her mist."

"The fog of the fog god blocked the channel for communication between the divine world and the outside world. It also became a chasm that prevented practitioners from breaking through to higher realms. It was because the fog disappeared that you broke through, wasn't it?"

"So we have to kill the God of Mist and completely eliminate him, then the God Realm can be renewed. Ergon, you should stand with us... Now I am very disappointed."

"Nonsense!" Scriben endured the severe pain, his face pale and angry, and retorted: "It is a consensus in the God Realm that fog is helpful for cultivation. The fog barrier is a barrier for the God Realm to protect itself. A thousand years ago, a group of terrifying invaders descended from the heaven across the sea. We were forced to isolate ourselves from each other, and as a result, Baiyun Valley waited for a thousand years for the promise."

"Moreover, fog is the main energy source for the operation of fog machinery and the cornerstone of the development of an era. Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"

"Oh, I forgot." Scriben blamed himself for his confusion and laughed, "You have already betrayed the divine world, so the death of the God of Mist certainly doesn't matter to someone like you. You just hate the God of Mist because you died on a cloudless night."

Lopez nodded tolerantly, agreeing with part of his statement, and ignored the sarcastic remarks of the other party: "I am a scholar, I naturally know the importance of fog to the fog machine."

Then he suddenly asked back: "You should know about Liyun and Huitong, Ergon. They wanted to use their great influence to establish an empire in the God Realm, but you rejected them. The reason you gave was that the God Realm did not need the kingship."

Ergon neither shook his head nor nodded; this had indeed happened.

Seeing the hermit's acquiescence, Lopez laughed loudly and wantonly, his laughter was full of anger and pity, and he spoke almost word by word in a mist:

"You righteously reject the kingship, yet you cultivate it. Don't you think the God of Mist is the emperor of the God Realm?"

"She can retract the fog at will, causing a cloudless night in the God Realm and destroying the social order of the God Realm. She can spread the fog in the name of a gift, but in fact it cuts off the path to transcendence. No one will be able to threaten her position in the future."

"Only with the death of the Goddess of Mist can the divine world completely get rid of her influence."

The hermit Ergon and the two protectors of the earth felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, but then they suddenly felt enlightened. They seemed to understand why Lopez betrayed them and where his hatred for the gods, the hermits, and the god of fog came from.

Death in a cloudless night caused by the fog god was the root cause of scholar Lopez's transformation. The disaster must have taken away many precious things from him, leading him to develop an extreme personality.

In fact, what Lopez said was right in some ways. The influence of the God of Fog on the God Realm was too far-reaching. No matter whether it was a cultivator or an ordinary person using fog machinery, it could be said that as long as one was in the God Realm, one could not avoid accepting the intentional or unintentional gifts of the God of Fog.

The God of Mist is the only emperor in the divine world. Even if Ergon had agreed to the request of the Liyun Chamber of Commerce and allowed them to establish an empire, he could not avoid obtaining the approval of the God of Mist.

There is no emperor in the divine world, but it seems like there has always been an emperor. The difference is that the God of Mist hardly interferes with the social order of the divine world.

It is a normal idea to reduce dependence on the Mist God. For example, some airships are equipped with two sets of driving energy.

"You are too extreme and too pessimistic, Lopez." Grayson looked at him: "The kindness and goodness of the God of Mist are obvious to all. She nourishes the fire of civilization in our world. It is said that the Cloudless Night was just an accident."

The way to eliminate the influence of the Fog God is to kill him. Grayson cannot accept this and cannot resonate with his paranoid thought process.

Lopez pushed his glasses with his fingers, calmed down a little, and said: Not at all. Not all people who died in the cloudless night have the chance to be reborn like Ergon and I.

“There are only two best times to plant trees: ten years ago and now.”

"We missed the past. Only by killing the fog god now can we win a better future."
