Chapter 902: Order of the Lord God

"To protect against whom?"

  This sentence is still very thought-provoking. The Haotian priest is also thinking:

It's obvious that when ordinary people die, they are dead. Even if he wants to be less dead, he can't do it. If he wants to leave a little bit of his soul to fight in the world for the future - if he has this ability, why not just be immortal?

As for gods, they are generally immortal. Although the gods nowadays are surprisingly young, most of them have only had the opportunity to grow up after the friction between the two worlds and the hundreds of years when the fragments of rules flew around, once gods are born, they can indeed be close to immortality. Without the burden of flesh and blood, the lifespan of gods is so long that there is no end in sight.

However, once a god falls, it must be because of an irresistible disaster. In that case, the god itself cannot be saved. Falling is a sign of being out of control. How can it keep its remaining soul alive? Again, if you have the ability, why not escape and return to the kingdom of God to recuperate slowly?

The only exception is the Lord God. After the Lord God's undoubted death, he still left behind memories, residual souls, and surging power. It seems possible. If you don't think about it carefully, you will think that it is because he is the Lord God that he has boundless magic power and can do this as a matter of course. But after Tai Xiong Shen said this, Haotian couldn't help but think that the unusualness might have paid a huge price, and it might even have accelerated his death.

If he did all this in order to wake up at a certain time in the future and fight hard, and this time is unpredictable, but it must be in the distant future, the Lord God is waiting for that day to wake up, then that time should be...

Haotian said slowly: "Is it to guard against the Tuman... for humans?"

In the era when the Lord God fell, human development entered a climax. The strength of the Sword Saints and Sword Immortals, headed by the Overlord, was changing with each passing day, and they were about to surpass the Spirit World. It was natural for the Lord God to worry before his fall that in the near future humans would overwhelm all races in the Spirit World in all aspects, so that there was a danger of overthrow.

But... this may be that the Lord God is worrying too much.

In fact, the development of mankind has not always been smooth. Not long after the death of the main god, the human ruler who was known as the greatest genius in history also died. The great development of mankind that seemed to be able to move forward forever came to an abrupt end. For so many years, not to mention the decline in strength, it has never really threatened the spirit world. It has only survived because of the internal contradictions of the spirit world. At least before this war of gods, the spirit world had always suppressed the earth and barbarians.

However, the situation has changed. The development of mankind is accelerating again, but the evil god came to the spirit world. After several mistakes, the evil god became stronger and brought disaster to the spirit world and the divine world. This great disaster cannot be stopped now, and there is indeed a danger of overthrow. In this way, the Lord God's worries back then have become a reality.

This is also a bit humorous.

After Priest Haotian gave the answer, Taixiong God, that is, Tang Zhao, nodded, shook his head, and said, "Yes, and no.

The Lord God was indeed always worried about humans, and he never stopped until the very end. But will humans be the ones who really destroy the world? To put it bluntly, even if humans really counterattack and enslave all the people in the spirit world, they may not be completely exterminated, and they don’t have the ability to do so. It’s nothing more than a cycle of admitting defeat, lying dormant, and then fighting again. What can really cause the destruction of the world is the collision of two worlds. "

"Ever since the two worlds were connected hundreds of years ago, the world has been breaking apart. The friction between the worlds caused the rules of the worlds to break one after another. Those fragments of rules are the godhead, that is, the sword species. The sword species and the godhead gave birth to swordsmen and gods. They became powerful one by one and occupied high positions, but in fact they were all damaging the world."

Tang Zhao had heard these theories before, and the sword masters had also discussed them, but it was not until today when the Lord and the Lord God communicated in the Tomb of the Gods that his understanding was solidified.

He thought that the Haotian Priest was at the same level as Qian Jian and the others, all high-ranking figures in the world. Secrets that others knew should not be a problem for him. At most, he was not sure, so he just said it directly.

However, halfway through his speech, he noticed that Haotian's eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief. Tang Zhao was stunned: What? Didn't he know?

Priest Haotian stammered, "Your Majesty Taixiong God... who said such blasphemous words?"

Tang Zhao understood a little bit. Although Haotian was powerful, he was only a messenger of God, not a real God, and he had never been exposed to the rules themselves. The tradition of respecting God had always limited him like other people in the spiritual world. It was impossible for him to associate God with "harm".

Tang Zhao thought for a moment, then put on the airs of a god and said, "I am a god, how can I lie to you? This is actually something that everyone in the God Realm knows, but they have never explained it to their believers. Now that the gods are gone, there is no need to hide it. Whether we are gods or swordsmen, we are all sucking blood from the world. With every additional swordsman or god, each world is damaged a little. Although the rules mastered by each individual are only a tiny fraction of the world, if the number is too large, and the total exceeds the remaining rules of the world, then the world will collapse. It will not be shattered, but it will collapse because it can no longer support itself."

Haotian was somewhat bewildered. It was obvious that Tang Zhao had not considered that his worldview needed to be protected. He had beaten him up without considering the old man's tolerance. Fortunately, he was not really stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. So he took a few deep breaths, thought hard, and said, "According to you, the fall of those gods... is a good thing for the world?"

Taixiongshen said: "It's not a bad thing, but it's not great either. Without gods, the world will not actively seek more rules - but in fact, most gods don't do that. We were born with fragments of the world first, and then grew up, not actively stealing. So our existence is objectively a witness to the damage to the world, but subjectively we are not sinners."

  This "we" refers to the gods and also to the swordsmen. Most swordsmen just follow the experience of their predecessors to find the sword, cultivate the sword heart, and become swordsmen... step by step. They just think they are following the correct cultivation system step by step, and they have not even touched the edge of the rules. The truth of the world is even more far away. What's wrong with them?

"Those godheads are now in the hands of the evil god, and we can't get them back. But even if we get them back, I don't know how to put the world back together - more importantly, the two worlds are still colliding and rubbing against each other, and I don't know how many rule fragments fall every day. How many can we repair?"

"So what the Lord God meant was that the important thing was not to kill all the gods and dig out their godhood to offer to the world, but to separate the two worlds and stop the bleeding of their wounds. As for how the world will heal after it stops bleeding, whether it will heal itself or be slowly patched up, that is a matter for the future. The important thing is to stop this kind of collapse - before the world completely collapses."

Haotian exhaled and said, "I understand. This is indeed a big deal... Just like the world that was attacked before, it is a matter of life and death. But what is the Lord God waiting for?"

  Since the Lord God knew that the key was to separate the two worlds, why didn't he do it when he was alive? Wasn't the world more complete a hundred years ago than it is now? If he had done it back then, wouldn't there be no crisis now?

Tang Zhao said: "It couldn't be done back then. Because the two worlds were too hostile to each other. With internal friction, the success rate of concentrating power was not high, and it was even more impossible to continue fighting. So the Lord God was actually waiting... waiting for one world to conquer the other and the power to be reunited. Only with a clear order can we concentrate our power."

Haotian couldn't help laughing: "That can't wait. Look at the situation, it seems like the winner will be decided in a short while..."

When he said this, his expression changed slightly.

He realized: Two months ago, the situation was indeed chaotic and unclear, but now it is not necessarily the case...

Isn’t the spirit world in chaos now? If the human world waits for both sides to suffer losses, it may be possible to take advantage of the opportunity and end this battle.

Tang Zhao said slowly, "In fact, before the Lord God fell, the situation was still relatively clear... At that time, the human overlord was unstoppable, that is, when the Lord God was there, he could resist a little. Now that the Lord God is about to fall, how can the spirit world resist? Maybe the Lord God thought of the Lord to unify the two worlds? He was upright and wanted to separate the world after the Lord unified it. If he was unable to do so, the Lord God could still use the last bit of his strength to help him, which was also the last thing he did for the world. Who would have thought that the Lord would not last for a few years and would soon fall?"

Haotian said: "This is also the blessing of God."

Actually, this statement is a bit ridiculous if you think about it carefully: the gods themselves are almost dead, so who can they bless?

Tang Zhao said: "So what the Lord God meant is that the battle within the world, no matter how big it is, is a small matter. It is nothing more than the life and death of us ants. He does not want to use the remaining power to do something that we can accomplish ourselves. He is waiting for the world to be destroyed."

Haotian smiled bitterly and said, "I do understand his deep meaning. Logically speaking, the evil god is indeed an opponent we should defeat... but we can't defeat him, so what should we do?"

No matter how good the reason is, it cannot go against reality. You, the Lord God, can despise the evil god. If you have the ability to really destroy the evil god in a few seconds, then your contempt will be justified.

Tang Zhao sighed and said, "Do you think I didn't tell the Lord God this? I said we really can't win now. Even if we win, we will have to recuperate for dozens or hundreds of years, and we won't be able to win the war against humans. Then we will wait until the world is destroyed together. Lord God, you have left behind such a remnant soul in vain."

"He said: Then you should find a way to borrow the power of humans. Negotiate with them, ask for support, or at least let them stand aside and watch."

The Lord God shook his head and said, "That's a good idea. But why should humans agree to it? They have always wanted to weaken us."

Tang Zhao said: "Lord God, are you not tired of wars after so many years? After the war with the evil god, do you still have the heart to fight another war? If you want to negotiate, then negotiate with the intention of resolving the dispute between the two worlds once and for all, and even the collision between the two worlds. Be open and honest, and put the future of the world on the negotiation table!"
