The era when gods walked in the mortal world can be traced back to the beginning of history.
Of course, the so-called "history" here does not refer to the existence history of this world, but refers to the "history of civilization" recorded in various historical documents today.
In earlier times, the civilization level of the indigenous people who thrived in this world was very low. Coupled with the subsequent changes in the current situation, even the historical documents recorded in writing have been lost long ago, and the gods disdain to use language and
Words describe history~
Everything they see, feel, and feel is an extraordinary manifestation of the superiority of the gods. They are existences that are superior to all living beings. Naturally, they will not let mortal ants share their secrets~
Therefore, it can be said that the "civilization history" of today's game world was entirely written by the eight tribes of the Alliance who migrated from the old world.
At the beginning of this "history of immigration", what is described is a magnificent "war between gods and demons"
"The sun shines in the mountains, the ocean rushes on the top of the clouds, the mountains are green in a moment of thought, and the mountains and rivers are shattered in a moment of anger.
The immortal will creates miracles, and the creatures praise it at its knees. They recite hymns, carry the power of the Lord, and spread the light in all directions.
And the dark fallen ones try to deceive the prophet~
They seduce fools with lies and sophistry and make civilization suffer in the fire of hell!
However, the Lord is ultimately invincible!
Wherever the Lord’s eyes look, all lies will be shattered; wherever the Lord’s God leans, all deceit will be hidden! This is the Lord’s world, and the Lord ultimately overrides everything!
The provocation of the dark one is just the last struggle of the fool. When the light spreads to all directions, they will eventually perish in the singing of hymns."
This is the preface recorded in "History of the World. Hymns to the Gods". According to Liu Yifei's understanding, it is probably about the dispute between gods and devils in ancient times.
Of course. For Liu Yifei, who has roughly understood the "real history", this is more like a scam used by the "victors" to praise themselves after the war~
"The dark ones perish in hymns"?
This is completely nonsense~
Because the devil clan was never really eliminated by the gods and the eight tribes coalition in the end, they just "disappeared", completely disappearing from the world, from history, and from the memory of all living creatures,
It's as if they were really wiped out by the gods
And after that, there is still a part about the gods recorded in the history of civilization, and that is the "War of Gods and Demons" that broke out again shortly after the end of the "War of Gods and Demons"!
In the early and middle stages of the war between gods and demons, although the devil clan paid a lot of sacrifices, the victory of the gods did not come without any cost~
And those fallen gods eventually became the fuse that ignited an all-out war between the gods!
Because gods possess the highest level of power of rules, even after death they will leave behind unconscious energy bodies such as "God's Pain" that contain the great power of the gods during their lifetime.
According to legend, the first reason that caused the gods to pay attention to "God's Pain" was because a "mortal" accidentally obtained and controlled the power of "God's Pain", and actually used his mortal body to destroy several gods with weaker divine power!
As soon as this news came out, the gods were furious!
While working together to kill the "mortal", the gods became even more wary of the "Pain of Gods" scattered on the ancient battlefield, so they wanted to recover them all to prevent similar incidents of killing gods from happening again.
~
And in this process, some demigods or gods with weak divine power, for their own benefit, did not hesitate to deceive and appropriate the pain of the gods, and used the power of the pain of the gods to strengthen themselves, which ultimately led to an all-out war between the gods!
In that tragic battle that almost affected the entire world, not only the gods themselves were greatly affected, but even everything in the world was almost destroyed.
After the incident, the remaining gods finally made a decision: to recover and destroy all the pain of gods, and to leave the main material world. The main material world should retain its free will to develop and no longer directly interfere with mortal affairs.
From then on, the footprints of the gods disappeared in all planes and spaces, and the main material world ushered in a period of rapid development in the "Mortal Age" represented by the eight races of the alliance.
Taking a closer look, that was the "Super Old Almanac" from at least ten thousand years ago. Liu Yifei really didn't expect that one day he would be able to see the true form of a god. Of course, he had enough reasons to believe that the person in front of him was like
The "sealed sculpture" that looks like a normal person should be the true form of the Storm Goddess.
But in the past, Liu Yifei felt that it was extraordinary that Xuelan's mission could finally liberate a god who had been trapped in the world for more than ten thousand years and that he could obtain the status of a "servant of the god". How could he have imagined that the Storm Goddess would be so "friendly to the people"
, what kind of show of true body is there? If it were an ordinary NPC here, wouldn't she be afraid of scaring her savior to death?
However, in the eyes of players, Liu Yifei, who has already covered the sky with one hand and is somewhat famous in the NPC world, seems not to be taken seriously by the Storm Goddess who has arrived in her true form.
For Liu Yifei, who was sitting aside with a surprised look on his face, the Storm Goddess didn't even give him a glance from the corner of her eye. She just stared at the blood in front of her with all her concentration.
"Are you the one who rescued me from this long ban?"
The goddess's voice penetrates people's hearts. Even if she speaks softly to the blood in front of her, it can be clearly heard by even the most peripheral fire element people present. However, no one will find the voice loud and deafening.
It was as if he was just asking softly in his ear.
"Yes ~ Dear Storm Goddess ~" Xuelan bowed his head respectfully and said.
"Very well, my son, you did very well, far beyond my expectations.
The despicable devil separated my body, soul and strength from each other, and finally turned it into six seals, and you were able to open one of them without any prompting.
I have to say, everything went so smoothly. It seems like someone is protecting you and me, so that I can return to the world smoothly.
But no matter what, your efforts are indispensable.
Then~
My lucky voters, it’s time to praise you. Right here, receive the praise you deserve~
From now on, you will be my agent in the world, my feet, my eyes, and I will eventually become your Lord, grant you glory, let you pronounce my name, and grant you protection."
The goddess recited silently, then leaned forward and bent over. Finally, she left a gentle kiss on Xue Lan's forehead. At this moment, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from Xue Lan's forehead! It was like
The eyes of the fire dragon slowly opened!
The red light became more and more intense, and eventually all the fire elemental people, including Gardels, couldn't help but lower their heads to avoid the red light that seemed to pierce the depths of people's souls, let alone those who huddled in the red light.
Liu Yifei is gone.
In the flames, only Xuelan seemed to be able to stand upright alone, and his body seemed to be held up by an invisible giant hand. He gradually grew taller, with his hair flying like a phoenix spreading its wings in the firelight, and finally soared straight into the sky.
Suddenly a flower bloomed in front of my eyes~
The red light that was blinding people just a moment ago dissipated instantly. By the time Liu Yifei and the others blinked and reacted,
Damn~
Only then did they realize that everyone had returned to the outside of the "God's Prison" dungeon, at the bottom of the outer dungeon and in front of the huge red rock door!
"This is"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but be a little dazed, thinking to himself, is the god so awesome? How could he use such an awesome group teleportation without any warning?
However, before he could finish his sentence, there was only a slight "click" sound!
Everyone looked up silently, only to find that a crack suddenly appeared on the top of the huge "divine prison" door!
Under everyone's gaze, the cracks expanded rapidly with a "click-click" sound. In just one breath, they had covered the entire surface of the huge stone door that was tens of meters high and more than ten meters wide!
And just when Liu Yifei was secretly muttering in his heart, "This stone gate won't just break into pieces, right?", he only heard the final clear "click" sound, and the stone gate collapsed instantly. In addition to what remained in the next few minutes,
Outside of a huge cloud of choking smoke and dust, we could not find any trace of the existence of the Shimen before. And the copy of the "divine prison" it represented apparently also disappeared in that burst of smoke and dust~
Maybe this also means that the Storm Goddess is out of trouble, right?
It seems that Xuelan's luck is really good this time. He may have found the more important part of the seal. Thinking about it this way, it may also be of great help to the future work of lifting the seal.
The specific rewards that Xue Lan received from the goddess here made Liu Yifei very anxious. When he thought of the advance payment given to him by the "Lord of Darkness", he thought that any reward that was related to "gods" shouldn't be a scam, right? That's right.
Some can't wait to taste it carefully.
However, there are still many things that have not been explained clearly to Gardels. First of all, an accidental "destroy" of the Divine Prison copy was beyond everyone's expectations.
In Gardels' plan to "liberate the compatriots", the Divine Prison Dungeon plays a very important role!
You must know that many fire elemental tribes that came earlier have finally found a place where they can barely settle down and live after going through several ups and downs.
Although the cooperation with the sorcerer is unsatisfactory for the fire element people and the cold and damp underground space is really too much to bear, at least they are no longer "alone and helpless" on the surface, right?
Once people settle down, they are inevitably inert, and even in the face of persuasion from their compatriots, they may not immediately rush to join them. Therefore, a "divine prison" space like a small fire elemental realm can help Gardels and others save a lot of persuasion.
The efforts of compatriots.
Huo Yun took out the drill and showed them the scene in the divine prison space. Basically, a small number of fire elemental people were willing to follow them~
This time, he saved the Storm Goddess, but it also directly led to the collapse of the divine prison space. It was a change that even Liu Yifei did not expect.
However, just when Liu Yifei was about to apologize to Gardels, an even more shocking change happened:
"
What?
Feel sorry?
No no no~
This is totally unnecessary~
Comparatively speaking, the exchange of rescuing a god with the power of fire is much better than I expected!
I had originally guessed that there might be a super powerful Fire Lord sealed in that 'divine prison', but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a real God of Fire.
Now, Lord Xuelan has become the representative of the god in the mortal world. We have nothing more to ask for than to be able to follow Lord Xuelan. There is nothing more than being blessed by God.
Please~~~”
However, Gardels bowed deeply to Xue Lan beside Liu Yifei and said with a serious face~
"What!!!"
It's just that Liu Yifei is obviously unable to accept this change. He really can't figure out how Xuelan turned into "Lord Xuelan" as soon as he turned his head. He silently felt that his "Lord Liuyun" seemed a little unworthy of others.
"Wait a minute! Lord Gardels, I think you made some mistakes! She is not the goddess before."
"Your name is Gardels, right?
The goddess has said that she will respond to the prayers of you and your people and send down the divine light of protection for you~
The day it completely breaks the seal and returns to the temple will be the time when you and your people can dominate this space!
And before the glory that is bound to come breaks through the darkness, you and your people need to be pious enough to get you through all the trials and dangers.
I just don’t know, Lord Gardels, do you have such piety?
This is a road full of thorns and dangers."
"The great agent of God~
The history of us fire element people has never been written in terms of peace and happiness.
Thorns and dangers?
To us, it is nothing more than a clump of fuel and a small test to measure the temperature of our lives.
If the goddess needs piety, then we will definitely satisfy her!"
"Then, on behalf of the goddess, I agree to your following first. You can show your piety and belief to your heart's content and beg for the blessing of the goddess~
Kneel down! On this earth!
The goddess will achieve your final salvation and give you the only shelter!
Kneel down! In the midst of the fire!
Chant for the glory of the goddess, silently recite the name of the goddess! The name of your Lord! Name her Diltena!"
"Hey, can I say that?"
Looking at the two people in front of him, one looked like a preacher and the other looked like a master who was superstitious about "xx Kung Fu" and was impatient to sacrifice himself for glory. Liu Yifei couldn't help but a drop of sweat broke out on his forehead!
Is the development of this plot a little too jumpy?
By the way, do you two completely treat me as a transparent person?
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Isn't that Diltena the storm goddess?
That stupid guy from Gardels mistook her for a fire-type god. How come you can't figure it out?
What if he discovers in the future that the god he is following is not a fire-type god at all! He"
"What can he do? Resist a god? Or come against us and make us pay?"
Xue Lan was dragged by Liu Yifei to find an uninhabited corner and was just about to run away. Unexpectedly, the topic was directly interrupted by Xue Lan, who was unable to react for a while~
Yeah, what can Gardels do?
Go to the ghost tribe to cause trouble for them?
Or will he fall out with the Storm Goddess Diltena who is about to escape completely?
It seems impossible.
When Xue Lan asked him this question, Liu Yifei couldn't answer for a while~
"So, you found out?
In fact, this is basically a business that guarantees a profit without losing any money~
According to you, people with the fire element are now lonely and helpless. What they need is a protective umbrella and a place where they can recover their strength.
After seeing the power and power of the goddess, and adding a little independent speculation, I will naturally weigh the cost of investing in such a god's camp.
But now do people with fire elements have more choices?
I'm afraid not~
In this world, because there is no blessing from the gods, they are simply unable to exert their true strength, and this has directly caused the decline of the fire elemental people. If it is not reversed, it is not impossible to even say that the clan is exterminated.
possible.
In this case, the only thing they can do is to bet on the goddess with all their might~
Once they make the right bet, they can get the blessing of a fire god. Especially if they, the fire element people, also contribute to helping the goddess escape from danger, they will be even more favored by the goddess in the future~
Otherwise, do you think that Gardels would express his attachment to the goddess without hesitation?"
"Coco, even if this is the case, even if Gardels and the others want to use this opportunity to find themselves a superior, you can't just agree to their allegiance so casually, right?
Although you have now become the temporary representative of the goddess Diltena, do you really know how much authority this 'title' can fulfill?
Nowadays, getting a reward that is sure to be obtained is the safest choice. If you are greedy for merit and rush forward, if something goes wrong, you may pay a heavy price!"
"Agree privately?
Haha~
This time you guessed wrong!
I did get the approval of the goddess just now, so I passed the message on my behalf and accepted the faith of Gardels and others~"
Xue Lan suddenly smiled mysteriously and said with a hint of conspiracy. What Liu Yifei didn't expect was that in this matter, Diltena actually had detailed follow-up plans (to be continued...)
