Chapter 674 The Troubles of the Dragon God (It’s not easy to break the chapter, so the two chapters are combined into one)

One of the main gods of the water system, the great Lord of Lakes and Rivers, Lady Wendy, like other main gods born from entities, is also a very ancient deity. Since the time when the seeds of faith began to sprout, she has exist in the world.Although she appears as a young woman in the mortal world, in terms of the time of her personification, her existence is actually much older than Silver Moon and Dark Moon, and she was born not even much later than Kaia, the Mother of the Earth. It is said to be one of the oldest gods.

Water is soft and nourishes all things. The same is true for Lady Wendy. She always feels weak and gentle. This has been her fixed image in the hearts of believers. However, most people have forgotten one thing. There is almost nothing in the world. , can stop the erosion of flowing water over the years, and they intentionally or unintentionally ignored that the flood that swallows everything and destroys everything is actually a symbol of Lady Wendy.

Yes, Lady Wendy actually has a rather aggressive side in her image. In fact, when she shows violence, she is more threatening than the Fire Lord Offregen. This is because she doesn't like to do this all the time. She usually hides her aggression under a gentle appearance.

"Why?" Shuer suddenly asked, "I have been in contact with Lady Wendy more than once. Although mortals are not qualified and have no ability to speculate on the will of gods, I think I may be a special case. At least now I have this qualification. So Judging from my experience, Lady Wendy will not target you for no reason, and there is no record of her having any conflict with you in the classics. Well, at least not before the pioneering era, so there must be a reason for her to do this, and what is it? Triggered the anger of the gentle water?"

"This question..." Segris did not question Seoul's self-proclaimed qualifications. He indeed already had this qualification, but Segris's question was also quite sharp, "Do you want to judge what is right or wrong between us?"

"Praise be to the Lord of Dragons, for your power is unmatched." But what about your brain?Xiure rolled his eyes quickly and secretly, "In a battle of interests, when has there ever been a distinction between right and wrong?"

"Oh, I like this view." Segris seemed very satisfied with Shuer's answer, "I didn't invite you here just to let you judge what is right or wrong. There is no right or wrong in my dispute with the gods. "

"In the first few hundred years, although intelligent creatures gradually encroached on the wilderness, the scale was relatively small and only in the marginal area. Children had a vast living space, so I didn't care. I just regarded these as the ignorant and spontaneous behaviors of intelligent creatures. That’s all.”

"Actually?"

"In fact, it is indeed a spontaneous act of ignorance." Segris shook his huge head, "Most of them don't even know that we exist in the wilderness."

Of course I don’t know. If Moria hadn’t mentioned it, Shuer would have known nothing either.

"However, as time went by, they became more and more excessive, and we could no longer continue watching. So, although the dragons did not join the battle, they instructed the intelligence among the children to lead their tribe to destroy A large number of people went deep into the wild city. This is how the conflict between Wendy and I originally arose." Segris sighed lightly, well, very lightly, which was just a strong wind. "As for the gradual intensification, then It was later."

"Oh, poor healing priest." Although Segris said vaguely, as a priest, how could Shuer not understand that Lady Wendy's priest has always been the god of healing among all priests? The most professional in skills, having a healing priest from Lady Wendy in an adventure team means guaranteed safety. Of course, for such a dangerous activity as exploring the wilderness, it is necessary to hire a large number of healing priests to develop cities for support, but the dragon and the mythical beasts were interested in distinguishing which human being was the priest of which god. As a result, during the war, the priests of the Water Temple 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 according to their own will, that is only for normal circumstances. The dragon clan's participation in the war is not normal, not to mention the war without declaration. No wonder Lady Wendy was angry about this.

"Wendy did not directly intervene in the war, but since then, those countries with her as their main belief have become more active in exploring the wilderness, and have greatly exaggerated their harvests, attracting all countries to follow suit, and among the pioneering teams, there are also With a large number of weapons and equipment blessed by the gods, it is impossible not to have her support behind this."

"If we only go so far, maybe we can endure it, but living a safe life for too long has made those intelligent creatures forget their respect for the powerful. When they see our dragons, they know that we are worshiped by children. After that, they actually dared to attack us in an attempt to kill the dragon, and some even shouted the slogan of becoming the first dragon-slaying warrior."

Isn’t it good to be alive?Xiu Er really wanted to dig those people out of the soil and ask them this question in person. There were some things that he just wanted to think about for fun. If he had to take action, he would be asking for death.In his opinion, it was like running into the civilized world and shouting god-killing slogans to attack the gods. The person who died was not worthy of sympathy at all.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus on this point." Segris saw Shuer's thoughts at a glance. "The Dragon Clan also felt that they deserved to die, so they joined the war."

"Huh?" Shuer raised his eyebrows, "Participated in the war personally? Why is there no record of fighting against the Dragon Clan during development?"

Segris didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

"Okay, I understand." Yes, all the intelligent creatures participating in the war are dead, how can there be any records.

"Odin, I remember you even participated in the war yourself."

"Yes...Father." Odin glanced at Soul, nodded, "And more than once."

"Probably the dragon clan's participation in the war ignited the conflict between me and Wendy." Segres accepted Odin's title as a matter of course. No wonder the relationship between the two dragons is quite special. It turns out that it is the inheritance of father and son, " Wendy united a large number of gods and personally declared war on my kingdom of God. At the same time, the servants of these gods also began to lead the troops of the temple to launch a war against the barren land. Some gods even personally descended The forces attacked the members of the Dragon Clan, and many dragons died because of it. There is no doubt that this is a signal of an all-out war. As for what happened after that, you should know by now."

Yes, of course I know that the gods lost the second duel. Under the threat of Segris dying together, the pace of development had to stop, and a fierce conflict broke out between the gods. As a result, the Age of Chaos has arrived.

"Okay, all the doubts about the whole matter have been solved." Xiuer smiled bitterly in his heart, Master Anika, although I know that you probably have good intentions, but before letting me know such subversive content, can you first Give me a hint, let me be mentally prepared, otherwise I will be very distressed.It's a pity that no matter how distressed you are, you probably can't get Anika's sympathy. She is already very kind if she doesn't snicker from the side, so Shuer can only sigh, "Then your current state...is not just a matter of lifespan." .”

"Have you ever seen any precedent of transforming from a god back to a mortal?"

Sorry, I have never even seen a person transform from a mortal to a god.However, I could only think about this in my heart. Xiuer shook his head vigorously and said: "There has never been such a record."

"Well, because I am the only one in Parvatiga who has done this so far. Although I was forced to try it rashly, before me, even the gods didn't know that they could do this." Segris said There was actually a bit of pride in his voice, "The mortal body cannot withstand the will and power of the gods. In this case, wouldn't it be good to suppress the power and will to the extent that the body can bear it?"

"Huh?" Are you kidding, so simple?
"No, it's not simple at all." Segris explained at a glance what Xiure was thinking, "There are no simple things in the world of gods. In fact, this is a quite complicated process, and it is extremely energy-consuming. .”

"I want to use my own will to suppress my own will while maintaining my own will, and use my own strength to maintain my own strength and suppress my own strength at the same time." It was like a tongue twister, but Shuer was horrified to find that he I actually understood, "After this, repeating the steps of being promoted to a god is just the opposite. Destroy the god's body, destroy the godhead, and then use your will to wrap the damaged godhead and sacred power, and return to the original body together. ." "The essence of this method is to deceive the laws of the world and make the laws think that the Dragon God has fallen and even the godhead has been destroyed, so the authority belonging to the Dragon God dissipates and will not be reunited until the next Dragon God appears. However, In fact, the divine power, including the will of the gods, has not been completely destroyed, but has been hidden in my body. Therefore, the belief in the dragon god will still continuously gather the divine power in my body, allowing me to Use the power of the gods.”

"Oh." Shuer nodded numbly. He no longer knew what to say. This was completely a way for gods to kill their opponents. When used on himself, it was simply... impossible to comment.

"It's crazy, right? It sounds impossible to succeed, but it turns out that I came back successfully." The silver dragon's face showed an expression very similar to that of a human being. It was a helpless smile, "It's a pity that I have to wait until I come back." Only after I got into my own body did I realize that things were not as easy as I thought.”

"I must always try my best to suppress the will and power of God to the extent that my body can bear it. The ratio of suppression is not one percent or one thousandth, but is so small that it is difficult to describe with numbers. That is Said, I will use the meager will that my mortal body can bear to suppress the remaining will and power that belongs to the gods."

"Lift yourself up."

"Haha, it's almost the same idea, but I still did it. The problem is that I can't relax a little after I come back, otherwise the power that can only be endured by the gods will instantly burst my body and destroy my will." Silver Dragon said with a bitter smile, "But this is just the beginning, and the real trouble hasn't happened yet."

"Tsk, tsk, I've already seen trouble." Xiuer had no malice, but it was difficult to hide the sarcasm in his tone. He was not mocking the Dragon God, but mocking the ridiculous fate. "Who could have thought in advance that the source of the trouble would be What about the constant power of faith?"

"Yes, the gathered power of faith is very deadly. Every time a trace of faith is gathered, it is like a heavy blow to me. But the funny thing is that it cannot be done without, because I must rely on the power of faith to survive." Maintain the damaged godhead, otherwise once the godhead dissipates, the overflowing sacred power will completely destroy my existence."

"How to replace the entire energy system for crystal energy lamps in an environment that relies on crystal energy lamps for illumination." Shuer said expressionlessly, this is a worldwide problem, "So even the Dragon Clan is downplaying its interest in you. faith?"

"Well, the Dragon Clan's faith in me is actually still there, and it's just as devout, but it's just no longer so fanatical, and there are no longer so many rituals. This can suppress the supply of the power of faith to a minimum, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive now. ." Segris sighed, "But I can't hold on anymore. Over the past few thousand years, every day has been a huge test for me. Even though I rely on sleeping to recover most of the time, I My will is still becoming exhausted, and I can hardly restrain my will. Moreover, although I am well sealed, the divine power is still affecting my body, forcing the body to maintain a state of self-repair all the time. , which leads to rapid aging. Only a few thousand years have passed, but to my body it feels like hundreds of thousands of years have passed. As you can see, my body is about to be unable to hold on."

"Wait, I have a question." Shuer suddenly felt something was wrong, "Is the war between you and the gods still going on?"

"Of course not. The war is over. The actual end was before the beginning of the Age of Chaos. The formal agreement was signed at the end of the Age of Chaos." Segris asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"

"Well, now that the war has ended, why do you continue to maintain this state? Since a formal treaty has been signed, I think based on your experience of being tricked once, there should be no more loopholes. You don't have to worry about the wilderness. If you want to protect the safety of the earth, who are you trying to deter?" Shuer asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Even if you don't trust Lady Wendy and think she will deceive you, you should at least understand the gods of the modern civilized world. With the current situation, the credibility of the temples is still sufficient, not to mention Lord Kaia’s statement. So I really can’t understand why you don’t restore your identity as Dragon God.”

"Yes, why?" Segris sighed deeply, "Because I can't go back."

"what?"

Shuuer had already admired Segris a lot before. He was courageous, wise, and decisive. He was worthy of being the leader of the previous generation of dragons who dared to challenge the gods with his mortal body and could single-handedly bring about the end of the pioneering era. Every move he made was just right, but in the end his body couldn't hold it anymore, but there was no similar precedent. He had to blindly explore, and deviations would inevitably occur. It cannot be considered a mistake on his part.

In Xiuer's view, a person who can make such an accurate and decisive decision cannot really completely cut off his retreat and throw all his eggs in one basket. Maybe he will have to die because of the situation, but at least when making a plan, he will definitely do it for himself. Leave yourself a way out.Therefore, Segeris' answer exceeded his expectations. Even with his mind, he blinked blankly and didn't react for a while.

"I still underestimate the gods too much. Hehe, he is obviously a god, but he still underestimates the gods." Segris shook his head helplessly, "I did have a plan before. After the problem is solved, I will use the dragon clan to destroy the giant beast." Their belief is to go through the road of promotion again and regain the authority of the gods. Indeed, for all living things, the process of promotion to the gods is actually quite dangerous. Even if all preparations are made, the possibility of success is only 5.00% at most. Going through the road to promotion again is equivalent to betting on the 5.00% chance again. But I am an exception. I have divinity. There is another more important reason. I have walked this road in both directions. , I have a very thorough understanding of this, and if it’s up to me, I can be sure that I will be [-]% successful.”

Xiuer did not interrupt Segris' words, but his pupils shrank slightly. He already knew why a certain god who liked to jump around and eat grass asked him to come to cooperate with the dragon clan, and also let him know these secrets.

"But, just like what you just joked about, how to replace the entire energy system for the crystalline lamps in an environment that requires crystalline lamps to illuminate."

"Huh?" Shuer pondered, "Is it still because you want to suppress your own will and strength?"

"You can say that, but you can also say it's the opposite. I didn't understand until I returned to my own body." Segris explained, "It is impossible for the authority of a god to be handed over to two different dragon gods at the same time. It is possible to condense two godheads.”

"Hey, I understand." Shuer took a deep breath.What a hell of trouble. If you want to retake the road of promotion and regain the divine power, you must first completely dissipate the already damaged godhead, so that the laws of the world can successfully shape a new godhead with the will of Segeris and let him return to the dragon god throne.However, the godhead is the carrier for him to hide and suppress his power and will, once the godhead dissipates...

"Well, the moment it dissipates, my will and body will be completely destroyed. To put it simply, I will be burst by my own strength." Segris lay on the ground again and said in a dull voice, "So I need Find a way to temporarily function as a godhead and dissipate it at the same time, so I say your metaphor is too accurate."

"Actually, 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 source, wouldn't it be better to use other crystal energy lamps to temporarily illuminate it, right?"

"Yes, no one stipulates that there is only one crystal energy lamp that illuminates." Shuer squinted his eyes and said softly, "Just ask a god you trust to help you suppress it temporarily."

"It's a pity that it's not feasible." Segris sighed, "You should understand that gods cannot help each other for no reason."

　After finishing writing, I found out that the plot of the first half of this chapter can be completely cut off. Except for me, probably no one will be interested in these.I'm not sure, if there are friends who read with me, I can talk about my opinion.
