I just covet their strength

Chapter 87 You Should Be a Demigod

[Oath] sounds as if the [Holy Tree of Great Glory] is merciful and generous, and is looking after the younger generation of Holy Spirits with the mentality of an elder. Such love is truly heart-warming.

But it’s fine to just listen to the official propaganda of the empire. Under the flattery of the empire’s mouthpiece, the [Holy Tree of Glory] was able to strengthen and humiliate the [Wings of the Abyss of Stars]. What else can’t they brag about?
As the head of the Bright Forest clan, Westhead naturally knew the truth about the [Oath].

In fact, it is not really a dark secret. The [Oath] can barely be called an equal treaty.

The Most Glory Holy Tree supports the development of similar Holy Spirits. On the one hand, it is indeed out of the kindness of an elder, and on the other hand, it is to allow other Holy Spirits to defend the empire against chaos.

To the innate holy spirit rooted in the earth, chaos representing disordered entropy increase is more terrifying than a million murderers!

Because the Holy Spirit is the product of extreme order, and it has a mutually restraining relationship with chaos.

Purifying Chaos is the duty of every god, and the Holy Tree of Glory is no exception. Moreover, because the Empire's great expedition has expanded too much territory, the possibility of being hit by Chaos is even greater.

Even the supreme gods would be troubled when faced with the original chaos. It's not that they can't cope with it, but it would be quite disgusting. Being repeatedly hit by the waves of chaos is like the butterfly stroke in a cesspool.

It happened that other Holy Spirits were discovered during the Great Crusade, and the [Holy Tree of Glory] decided to cultivate these same species as a barrier to protect itself and to withstand the waves of chaos on behalf of the sacred roots.

Young people should exercise more.

As the price of being blessed and nurtured by the Holy Tree, the Holy Spirit who signed the [Oath] was equivalent to a subordinate with a high degree of freedom, enjoying the preferential treatment of the empire while also fulfilling the duty of guarding the border.

Regardless of whether the treaty is fair or not, Westhead cannot tolerate his holy ancestor being controlled by the [Holy Tree of Glory]. In the world of "Poem of Destiny", the restrictions on bloodline are too great. The contract signed by your ancestor can directly affect all direct bloodlines.

To round it off, I have also signed a contract to sell myself to the [Holy Tree of Glory]. Once a slave, I will be a slave for generations!

If Westhead wants to step onto the long stairway to godhood, he must cut the chains.

"I already know about the suffering of Brightness. If you want to eliminate this suffering, just give orders to the empire."

After hearing Westhead's request, the Holy Tree was silent for a moment, then replied.

He did not say yes or no, but the implication was that He wanted to keep him.

Westhead said with a face full of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness: "It is clearly my incompetence that caused the loss of territory and the destruction of my homeland. How can I have the face to use my public power for personal gain? I will wash away the failure and humiliation I have endured with my own hands. However, if I still follow the [Oath] of the past, I may be somewhat constrained in recovering my homeland."

"Therefore, I hope that the God Ancestor can allow me to modify the [Oath] with the [Bright Holy Spirit] so that I can avenge my previous shame without relying on the Empire!"

He deliberately went around in circles and adopted the conservative term "modification", euphemistically calling it "becoming self-reliant and washing away the shame".

After all, directly saying that you want to cancel the [Oath] is somewhat disloyal.

Westhead does not yet have the confidence to make a sacred break with the Empire.

".Can."

The Holy Tree of Glory finally agreed to Westhead's request. After all, for a god, giving up a subordinate Holy Spirit was not a big deal, not to mention that this Holy Spirit was still in the Chaos Fallen Zone and he might fall into evil at any time.

Since the descendant of the Pure Holy Spirit is quite ambitious, let him be.

Lord Qinghui breathed a sigh of relief and bowed:
"Thank you for your kindness. I will submit the specific changes to the temple later."

Westhead left himself some wiggle room and didn't say the content directly on the spot.

After receiving recognition from the Holy Tree, Westhead easily stepped back and continued to kneel on one knee like everyone else.

Although Westhead's request was unexpected, it was nothing serious, and everyone quickly turned their attention to Leixia.

To be fair, even though the silver-haired dragon girl's performance in the trial won her a lot of recognition, it is always difficult for humans to reflect on their past mistakes. It is really unpleasant that the guy we have bullied and ridiculed for more than ten years can actually get such honor.

"It's just that I took advantage of Lord Qinghui's fame and my dragon bloodline. I'm just lucky."

Most people convinced themselves with the same excuse as Alagon, giving the credit to Westhead so that they could ignore the sight of Resia killing the dragon.

Leixia didn't care what others thought of her. She stood up, took a deep breath, looked at the phantom branches that were shining with light, and said:

"My God, my ancestor, please return to me everything you have taken from me!"

"Please stop that absurd and cruel divine punishment! Give me a normal life!"

"That's all I want."

The silver-haired dragon girl's words were powerful, but the entire square was silent.

In fact, many people have already guessed what wish Reshia will make, and the Fourth Princess did not hide her intentions at all.

Talking to the God Ancestor like this, are you questioning his decision?

But then again, there are also many people who are really curious about the attitude of the Holy Tree towards Leishia. The fact that it allows her to participate in the trial shows that the God Ancestor does not want to torture her to death. This is contrary to the inherent cognition of everyone for more than ten years.

Regent Celyvira, Prince Aligon... and others who realized this turned their eyes to the sky.

Leixia raised her head firmly, waiting for the God-Ancestor's reply.

After a long silence, the will of the God Ancestor finally came like a dull echo:

"What I give you is not a punishment."

"This is the road to prosperity and decline that one must take to become a demigod. Just accept it calmly."

There is no Riddler in the Holy Tree of Glory. Cross-border communications are very expensive, so the answer can only be given in the simplest language.

However, these two light sentences set off a huge wave in everyone's heart.

Some people with poor psychological endurance even screamed out loud.

"Demigod?!"

"what?"

"Did I hear correctly? What the God Ancestor said just now was..."

"It's a demigod, God is above."

The meaning expressed by the Holy Tree of Supreme Glory was quite clear, leaving no room for misunderstanding.

This is exactly why everyone was shocked to the point of their brains shutting down.

What is a demigod?

In the extraordinary ranks of the mortal world, there is no such rank as "demigod". Even the indescribable sequence of ascension to godhood after the legendary strong is not called demigod.

There is only one kind of existence that can be called "demigod", and that is the offspring promoted by the gods themselves. In ancient times, they acted on behalf of the gods and ruled the world!
