Zongman: I am a god, and my family comes from all realms

“No wonder that lord said it was a small problem!”

The soldiers were shocked.

Suddenly, a soldier exclaimed, “Did you see that? The great mage turned around when he cast the spell?”

“So?”

“Haven't you read that novel that's been circulating on the continent for hundreds of years—'The Legend of the Elven Mage Who Turns His Back on All Living Things'?”

“Huh?”

“A novel?”

The soldier said fanatically, “I used to think it was fiction, a legend. But now it seems, it's a non-fiction novel! Turning his back on all living things, he wiped out ten thousand demons with one strike. That lord is too strong!”

“That's right, maybe the novel was based on that lord from just now.”

“Great, Sith, lend me the novel to read when we rest!”

“I want to read it too!”

Even the city-守城将军 was now looking doubtful. “Could it really be him?”

Because it was too legendary, that novel that had been serialized for hundreds of years was just regarded as a legend.

Nothing else, it was too outrageous.

What about just a back view that scared the Demon King of that generation to flee in panic; what about fighting alone to the Demon King's city and dragging the Demon King back for experiments…

In short, no one believed it was true.

But the ruins below the city were telling him that this might not be fake.

Outrageous, that's because they haven't seen it before.

If someone told him that a mage could easily annihilate tens of thousands of demons with a single spell, he wouldn't believe it either.

A moment later.

The city gate opened, and a soldier went to check.

After a while, the soldier returned: “General, not a single invading demon was left. It's just that the ruins are several meters deep, and trade cannot resume in a short time. We can only let the mages in the city use earth magic to restore it.”

The general waved his hand: “It doesn't matter, it's just restoring the ground, it won't take much time or money, it's better than the city being broken. You guard the city well, I'll report to the city lord.”

City Lord's Mansion.

“What? All the demons were wiped out?”

The city lord, who was originally preparing to run away, was stunned when he heard this. “Really wiped out?”

The general affirmed: “Yes, I have already sent someone to check, and no demons survived. Also…”

As he said, he told about the soldiers' discussions, and the existence of Lu Li.

“The Elven Mage Who Turns His Back on All Living Things?”

“Does that lord really exist?”

As a widely circulated novel, the city lord had also read it.

After all, there are very few entertainment programs in this world, and novels are a rare pastime.

The general replied: “I don't know. However, there are no other legends corresponding to such a powerful mage. It is impossible to appear out of thin air. Perhaps, he is that lord.”

The city lord nodded: “That makes sense!”

Human mages cannot appear out of thin air.

As for the demons?

That's even more impossible!

The demons are a very barbaric and arrogant race. It is impossible to do such a thing as killing ten thousand demons to gain the trust of the human race.

“Tell the people in the city that the demons have been wiped out.” The city lord pondered, his eyes lit up, “By the way, tell the people about the existence of that lord to reassure everyone.”

The people and merchants are the city lord's wealth.

If these people run away, leaving an empty city, who will he collect taxes from?

Lu Li's existence can be used to stabilize people's hearts.

The general understood: “Don't worry, city lord, I will do it right away.”

In half a day.

The entire city was restored to prosperity again, no, it was even more prosperous than before.

The most lively place was the bookstore, and the previously unsalable Elven Mage Legend series of novels became bestsellers again.

Not only nobles and mages were buying it, but even some wealthy civilians were buying it.

“Will reading the legendary story of that lord lead to a deeper understanding of magic?”

“Will casting spells with your back to the enemy increase the power of the spell?”

Even the ruins outside the city have become a holy land for mages, gathering a considerable number of mages, who are restoring the ground for free while visiting.

Finally, the city lord decided that the ruins far away from the official road should be preserved, and people were asked to bring water to form a lake, which the locals named Xingluo Lake.

Because the magic of that day was too much like a star falling.

58 The source of the legend, unexpected faith (sixth update, please subscribe)

“I see.”

Lu Li sat in the carriage, letting Wendy drive the carriage, leisurely, flipping through his legendary story, “That was already hundreds of years ago.”

Elves rarely live in human cities, and this life Lu Li has very few memories of humans.

About three hundred years ago, Lu Li went out once and occasionally encountered a demon squad, and then—the demon squad turned into ashes under a burst of magic.

This is the beginning of the novel.

Lu Li is familiar with some of the stories that followed, and has no impression of some at all.

Probably the novel author incorporated the stories of other mages when collecting materials, or the author created the stories out of thin air.

“The so-called turning your back on all living things is not just being edgy, but this life does not want to have too much interaction with people.”

Elves are long-lived.

Humans are short-lived.

The intersection of the two is not a good thing.

The philosophy of this life is—anyway, familiar people will die, so it is better not to know them from the beginning.

So, except for a limited number of people, no one has ever seen Lu Li's face.

Unexpectedly, such behavior has left behind the legend of turning his back on all living beings and suppressing the demons alone.

This concept is similar to Frieren—when Heiter asked Frieren to accept Fieren as a disciple, Frieren was reluctant.

The original words were—anyway, they will die soon after teaching them.

A hundred years of human beings is too short for elves. Maybe, after going out, when they come back to their senses, they should attend the funeral of their disciples.

Elves are just emotionally slow, not without emotion.

It is enough to experience this kind of thing once, and no one wants to repeat the sadness.

Closing a novel, he picked up another novel and looked at it.

Compared with traditional online articles, this novel has a slow rhythm. The advantage is that it is full of epic feeling. When you open the book, a majestic, spectacular, and sad tune rushes towards you.

If he didn't know the life experience of this life, he would have to wonder if he was like in the story—compassionate and sacrificed everything to suppress the demons.

Too outrageous.

Most of the things in the story about suppressing the demons were just him looking for experimental materials!

Just thinking about it, suddenly, Lu Li's expression froze: “Someone is praying.～？”

After becoming a god, he did not spread faith.

Not to mention this world.

With a thought, the power of God received the will of the land of faith.

This is the terrible thing about power.

Ignore the distance and descend to the believers.

……

In a huge canyon, laughter continued.

There is a small village here, inhabited by a small number of humans and elves.

In the very center of the village, a building that is different from the villagers' house styles stands there. That is the temple in the village.

Different from other places, the temple does not enshrine the goddess of traditional faith on the mainland, but a male statue with his back to everyone.

The most prominent features of the statue are the elf ears and the scepter in the hand of God.

The statue is not tall, but it gives people an incomparably tall feeling, which shows that the sculptor has worked hard when carving it.

Under the statue, many villagers are praying.

At the forefront of the crowd, a blonde elf closed her eyes and looked pious.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared on the statue.

“What is that?”

The people were surprised and exclaimed.

The elf Vina opened her eyes and looked at the statue, but felt that the brilliance on the statue was kind and gentle, as if she saw her parents.

“Lord God!”

“Lord God has manifested!”

The blonde elf was very happy.

Three hundred years ago, since being saved by Lu Li, she has been very admired and wanted to follow, but she did not succeed.

So, she retreated and wrote Lu Li's story, spreading his deeds.

The more Lu Li news collected on the mainland, the more Vina was convinced that he was a god.

After all, even elves cannot be as powerful as him.

Under her propaganda, Lu Li has become a god in the mouths of some people.

And this small village was built by those people, and the most devout people of all ages live here.

And the canyon is not formed naturally, but is actually caused by Lu Li's burst of magic.

Lu Li looked at everything in front of him and thought of the novel series that had been popular for hundreds of years, and suddenly understood.

With a thought, divine power emerged, and the power of life surged, turning into golden light and falling on everyone.

In an instant, everyone at the scene felt a warm power falling on them. All kinds of old injuries in the past disappeared, and even their appearance became much younger.

These people are all his believers and can spread their faith for themselves, so naturally they cannot die easily.

“I have become a god, and I know your piety, and I have given you divine grace.”

The so-called divine grace, in addition to the life and youthful body given by the power of life, also has grace.

In the future, this group of people can also fight monsters and upgrade.

Everyone listened to the voice that sounded in their minds, and immediately understood what the divine grace was, and they were immediately very happy.

“Thank you, Lord God!”

Everyone bowed again.

When everyone got up again, the statue had become unremarkable.

Manifestation is just a trivial matter. After doing these things, Lu Li took back his divine thoughts and read the magic book again.
