From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 448: God decides whether this world will move towards reality, nothingness, or chaos

The rat warships flew across the sky, dropping bombs one after another. During this period of time, due to the shortage of personnel, the rats did not advance forward violently, but they did not let these guys who were hindering them sit idle.

The bombing day and night is a threat to this extremely long front line stretched by war fortresses.

To be honest, this is a very wasteful behavior. The damage caused by those iron bombs dropped may not be as precious as the psychic energy consumed by these small rat warships to initiate subspace jumps.

Although the psychic powers that fill the warp are not rare, there are not many races in the entire physical universe that are qualified to use them.

The ratmen open up the subspace by mixing ether dust into the engine, but ether dust, or ether crystals, soul stones, the gifts from God, are not infinite.

It is unknown how long the sacred Soul Moon can support the rat people's mining, but the Death Comet is unable to hold on any longer.

Over the years, the size of dead comets has been shrinking every year. It may not take many years for such a miracle to completely disappear in the physical universe.

Of course, there is no need to be afraid. The rat people can also create artificial ether crystals. On the Shenqi Star, they have always had this technology, which can produce the dimensional stone with an evil green color, a kind of thing similar to the ether crystal of the soul stone.

But there is one problem that cannot be avoided.

The technology used by the ratmen is a black box technology. To this day, the ratmen engineers still don’t understand why these dimensional stones would grow in a pool of flesh and blood.

It cannot be replicated, understood, or observed.

Only on the Shenqi Star, after a set of rigorous rituals, and after the killing and accumulation of a large number of intelligent creatures, can these dimensional stones be successfully born.

How to say it, the Star of Divine Revelation is too important to the Skaven, or rather, these ether crystals and dimensional stones are too important to the Skaven. Their technology tree is almost entirely built on these non-renewable ether crystals and dimensional stones that are born like a black box.

And these two things are gathered on the Shenqi Star.

If the current ratmen were to leave the dimensional stone and ether crystal, they would instantly be reduced to their original form.

And now, the rat people are using these precious things to fight the sand rat people. This is a luxurious waste. Let’s put it this way, if you tell the space elves that the crust of this planet is mixed with ether crystals, then there won’t be a need for too much.

A piece of ether crystal as big as a fingernail is enough for the space elves to grind the planet into powder without hesitation, and spend an unknown amount of effort to extract this fingernail-sized ether crystal from the planet's crust bit by bit.

Ordinary minerals may be abandoned for mining because their content is too small, but ether crystals will not. Either they cannot be detected, or once they are detected, then no matter how rare their content is, they are worth mining.

That's how it's matched.

And now, almost every day a piece of ether crystal the size of a fingernail is consumed by the magic engine installed on the flagship of the First Expeditionary Fleet.

To some extent, the rat people are really too rich. Think about how the Death Comet and the Soul Moon were born. They came from a great god, from the distracting thoughts of all living beings that were consumed and purified during his growth and transformation. Du Yuan really gave all the Soul Stones that he had accumulated for quite some time to the rat people.

How are you going to copy this? Are you going to really capture a god to produce ether crystals for you?

Obviously, this is almost impossible to replicate.

The Godly Star is too important to the rat people, even though it has been riddled with holes by the rat people themselves in one riot after another.

If the great god was still watching the rat people at this moment, would he be angry at the current state of Shenqixing?

Probably not.

Even some of the landscapes on this planet that were quite familiar to him were probably blown up by this group of noisy guys. Well, let's not talk about that. Even his own statue was buried by garbage.

All of this is closely related to Qi, the Rat Emperor. This guy seemed to have seen something in the white rat, and resolutely embarked on a path that is completely different from that of the white rat.

If the white rat were still alive, it would probably be so angry that it would turn into a black rat and would want to slap Qi to death.

Too disrespectful, too disrespectful.

This guy even betrayed Bai Shu's instructions. He clearly said in front of Bai Shu that he would continue to bear the glory of God. It can only be said that these two guys are first-rate traitors.

The same goes for Qi and the white mouse.

But will their great God be angry? No.

He actually admired Bai Shu very much, and he would also admire Qi. To put it bluntly, this great god still held a piece of divine spirituality in his hands, which came from the heart of the craftsman who had ascended to heaven. However, none of those guys he liked gave him face. The rat saint rejected this divine spirituality, and Bai Shu also rejected it. If nothing unexpected happened, Qi would probably reject it too. Among this group of noisy guys, maybe only Long Claws would be excited by this divine spirituality.

A strange god and his strange followers.

Obviously, the believers of other gods are eager to travel with their gods, but none of the paranoid guys among these ratmen have such obsession. Of course, their gods have also created a dead and empty kingdom of God.

By the way, it seems that there is also a lonely old man named Zhong who doesn’t like to move and was dragged to Shenqi Star.

The Cold Soul Bell is the last protection left by the god to the rat people. It can guarantee that no matter how chaotic this grand war is, the Shenqi Star will be safe and sound, and the rat people will not completely withdraw from this physical universe. This is insurance.

Du Yuan wanted to wake up and see how far these noisy guys had come. But how should I put it? The Cold Soul Bell is the guardian of the Godly Star, the last protection and insurance of the rats, and the ultimate mercy of the gods, but the rats themselves blew up the Godly Star.

This situation is not within the scope of action. What should I do? I can’t go there!
On the Shenqi Star, under the ruins of the New Holy City, in the underground Rat City, in the original temple, on the pyramid, the Cold Soul Giant Bell just watched in confusion as the temple priests and the Ratman Empire fought to the death, making the planet they were supposed to protect full of holes.

He fell into deep thought. Perhaps he should do something, but what should he do? Forget it, he might as well do nothing!
Just like that, he fell into silence and continued to sleep.

Of course, these guys were really too much. The twin fortresses were both destroyed, and the skeleton bell on them was taken back by him the moment the fortresses were shattered.

The Cold Soul Bell got angry at these guys and started its own strike. It stopped ringing the bell every day and stopped playing the sound of the soul. Anyway, all of its believers were going to die in the war, so why bother ringing it? It stopped ringing and went on strike.

Whether it is Xiaochun or Lenghun Juzhong, they, the gods under Du Yuan, are gradually breaking free from the limitations of their beliefs in the chaos of the subspace and the rising emotions of the physical universe.

Du Yuan sank into the gap between the two worlds and fell asleep, which was both a form of growth and the construction of the order of the new world in the future. Of course, Du Yuan was not as powerful as the two creator gods, and he could not create a world out of thin air. Instead, he chose to establish his own order and framework on these intelligent creatures that were used as chess pieces by the two creator gods.

Emotions, desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, these things that began to flourish with the spread of wisdom, are all part of Du Yuan, the god of desire, and the source of power. However, Du Yuan is not enough to challenge the two gods of creation by simply gathering all these desires.

Therefore, Du Yuan not only did not frantically restrain these desires, but spread them wantonly. Those subspace spirits in the subspace who gradually began to master the power of desires were the lucky ones who were able to do so after Du Yuan let go of the power over many desires.

What is this for.

In order to greedily grab more, if the path of believing in gods is to use the worship and fear of living beings to anchor a certain type of concept for yourself, many mortals think you are a sun god, then you become a sun god.

What Du Yuan is doing is to allow all mortals to naturally develop an understanding of the world, and then He will provide power. As desires rise, the world may be what you think it is.

Intelligent creatures have a vague understanding of this world, and their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are collected by Du Yuan and transformed into part of that order.

This path seems to be no different from the path of faith in godhood taken by those who believe in gods, but the principles are completely different. Simply put, believing in gods is using the cognition of many mortals to anchor oneself to the power of the world.

Du Yuan lends his power to those mortal beings to anchor the world.

One is to raise funds to become a god, the other is to be a banker and collect heavy taxes.

One day, when those countless living beings complete their understanding of the world through Du Yuan's power, then everything in this world will belong to Du Yuan.

Du Yuan, a banker with scarce capital, wants to use such means to completely take over the world created by the two creator gods.

Of course, the two creator gods would naturally not be unaware of such gameplay, but they did not stop Du Yuan's actions. For them who have been fighting for countless years, they don’t care about life and death, but care more about the correctness of the path.

The two creator gods have already placed their bets on these mortals that are thriving in the world, these mortals that are as humble as dust to the world.

Amidst the boiling desire, their victory or defeat will be decided by these lowly mortals like dust. If they choose the constant and unchanging reality, the God of Creation, who is entrenched in the center of the physical universe like a giant black hole, pulling the entire physical universe to slowly rotate, will devour the virtual world.

And if these mortals choose the false belief that everything is possible, then this illusory god standing tall and boundless in the subspace will destroy the giant black hole that pulls the physical universe and completely turn this world into an illusory and uncertain form.

Finally, it was Du Yuan's turn. Du Yuan was very clever, but he had only one choice. He had already placed a bet. He bet that the two creator gods would end in a tie. Intelligent creatures would not completely choose the constant and unchanging reality, nor would they plunge into the absolute emptiness and nothingness of illusion and no constant. The two would coexist.

This is the bet of the three gods. They are betting on this world, their own paths, and the future and choices of countless intelligent creatures that have been born or have yet to be born.

Du Yuan has already preliminarily projected his own order into the physical universe and the subspace. Those subspace spirits who have gained power and are trapped by rising desires are the projections of this action.

Later, more persons and powers will be born from the rising desires.

As the weaker party in this gamble, Du Yuan played some little tricks, which were the status and power condensed by desire.

Accepting these positions and powers is equivalent to accepting Du Yuan's path, which is equivalent to casting a vote for Du Yuan in this gamble.

They will become gods. Du Yuan has opened the way for everything in this universe. He is a very fair person. These personalities are not limited to the spirits of the warp, or the ratmen, or anything else. It will be open to all intelligent creatures in this world fairly.

The prerequisite is that they recognize Du Yuan's path and become a god with desire as power, a secondary god of desire.

Of course, this path is not so narrow. Wisdom, these countless intelligent creatures, in their short lives, have so many thoughts, unwillingness, desire, happiness, joy, pain, and satisfaction.

All of this can become the path and opportunity to become a god.

Du Yuan encourages them to understand the world with everything derived from this wisdom, and Du Yuan also encourages them to use their understanding of the world as strength.

The world can be whatever you want it to be. As long as the fire of your desire is really that strong, you can become a God.

Of course, as an evil god, Du Yuan gave these possibilities, but they were also cruel.

These gods of desire that are about to be born will devour the desires of other guys walking on this road. If you are just an ordinary guy, then this world will never be what you think it is. Your desires, your life, and your world will all be devoured by these guys.

Only the most passionate, the most paranoid, the most insane, and the most resolute ones can become gods.
