This allowed Lu Li to climb the main peak without having to face too many dangerous steep slopes, but the lack of oxygen and cold at high altitude still bothered him.
In any case, within the protection range of the God of the Deep Sea, the only thing blocking Lu Li was the road itself.
The thick snow made it difficult for Lu Li to stand still. He slid down the slope several times and stabilized his body before rolling down the long hillside for more than ten miles.
Perhaps this can be regarded as the punishment of Lu Li by the God of the Deep Sea. He knew of Lu Li's arrival, but was indifferent to the predicament he encountered.
Where there was no snow, there were only trickles of divine blood, but Lu Li refused to touch them.
The evil effects of contact with divine blood have been verified by the weirdness below.
It took Lu Li an entire afternoon to climb the last few hundred meters to the top of the main peak. After a short rest at night, he charged for the final stretch.
In the early morning when the dark clouds shone with light, the snow on the edge of the main peak slid down, revealing the figure climbing up.
"You are a weak creature who betrayed the ancient one, why do you still dare to show up..."
The God of the Deep Sea stands on the top of the mountain, restored to human form, and the damaged cloak he wears like a gauze is covered with obscure, complex and delicate lines, like some kind of symbol.
Obscure, flowing downward, the divine blood that is constantly dissipating power drips from the damaged cloak.
"I don't think that's a betrayal."
Lu Li took a deep breath, expanding his lungs as much as possible with each breath, sucking in the thin air at the peak, and preparing for the long conversation that followed.
"Cities represent the last civilization and order of mankind. When the humans who grew up on this land disappear, the world's sanity will also disappear."
"The world doesn't need humans."
He said: If time is used as a scale, the entire human civilization is as insignificant as taking a nap in front of the ancient ones.
"But the world is given meaning by life."
Lu Li does not narrowly limit human beings, which makes his answer sound like sophistry. Human beings are life, but life is not just human beings.
The God of the Deep Sea fell into silence, suddenly abandoned the proud Gu Yin, and talked to Lu Li Pingping: "I... hate you."
He looked at the hazy and dark land beyond the back mountain range of the world, which seemed to be in the direction of Midnight City.
"Themimas, sympathize with the living beings, agree with the meaning of what you said, and respond to the prayers of believers."
"The price paid for this is...the ancient existence that was born when this world was conceived, resisted enemies from the stars, took root in the earth, and extended to countless worlds, died because of the faith of living beings."
"God will not die. In the world, no one can kill the Ancient Ones. He should not have died, but he degenerated into a ruler who lived on chaos due to the tainted faith of his believers, until he was sealed by the Ancient Ones who guarded the world.
.But He voluntarily dissolved His life just so as not to pollute or harm His believers..."
The shadow under the cloak of the God of the Deep stared at Lu Li again.
"I used to see this as a weakness. And now, this weakness appears in me."
The eternal Ancient One got to know a few ants in a brief blink of time, remembered this in his heart, and even changed his personality.
It sounds unreasonable, but Lu Li knows the ancients and can understand this kind of existence that "has a long life".
An intelligent creature's cognition of the outside world originates from the beginning, and this cognition is profound enough. When the cognition is fixed and formed, it will be difficult to change.
Cognition gives fixedness to thinking and brings deep memories. Just like all older people will recall and remember their childhood experiences.
In the dream, the prophet who has passed hundreds of millions of years still remembers Lu Li, and the God of the Deep Sea still remembers Lu Li because they were lucky enough to leave indelible traces when the God of the Deep Sea was weak and simple.
"what are you up to."
Lu Li heard a certain emotion from the God of the Deep Sea, which reminded him of Themimas he described.
Today, Themimus's body stands in Midnight City and is revered by people as the World Tree.
"Resist...before falling into a new eternal sleep."
The God of the Deep Sea raised his head, and the shadow seemed to pass through the clouds, peeking into the boundless starry sky.
He was waiting for Lu Li to arrive, but now that the conversation was over, he could prepare for the fight.
"Do you know Prada?"
Lu Li suddenly said.
He didn't want the God of the Deep to die meaninglessly, just like Prada.
"The ancient god who controls destiny, the controller of mischief, the god of saddles and boots, memory..." The god of the deep sea recalled the old memories.
"How do you know this?"
"Ellen King's Castle."
Lu Li talked about the results of Prada.
When the eyes in the depths of the starry sky gathered, the ancient ones who resisted the starry sky quietly disappeared.
"So I can't find any trace of Him after I wake up..." the God of the Deep Sea murmured.
"Is Prada dead?" Lu Li asked, mentioning Prada in his exam paper to ask him to remember her.
"He can wake up due to his memory, but I don't feel his breath..."
That means Nebula's Eye killed him.
Prada's death made the God of the Deep give up resisting enemies beyond the stars.
He felt ashamed: "So, are you here to laugh at me..."
"no."
Lu Li reached into his pocket and took out a simple chess piece in the shape of a book.
"The Book of Doomsday Apocalypse can double the master's total power. I'm not sure whether it will be effective against the ancient gods."
The condensed water wrapped around the chess piece and floated away from Lu Li's palm.
"That is an important item for you to maintain your life and sanity. You just gave it to the ancient one. You can never get it back." A mocking voice sounded from beside him at the same time.
Lu Li did not respond to her reappearance, and accelerated the frequency of deep breathing, but it was completely unable to prevent the oxygen from being sucked away from him.
My body becomes hot, noises are heard in my ears, everything outside is gradually blocked, and I can only feel my suffocation.
Suddenly, fresh and cold air rushes into the lungs, and the blurry world becomes clear again.
Lu Li raised his head, and an invisible water film enveloped him. The bubbles surging on the surface of the water film brought oxygen, and the obscure aura of the God of the Deep Sea was no longer weak.
Where did the chess pieces that could act on the ancient gods come from?
"Your strength hasn't recovered yet?"
The blood of the God of the Deep is still dripping.
"Recovered, but I...my origin of passage will not stop."
This means that He will continue to decline until he falls asleep.
"Did the injury come from the other side of the mountain?"
"...Not entirely, you can't know their names."
This reminded Lu Li of the current situation of low sanity after the Doomsday Apocalypse was temporarily handed over to the God of the Deep Sea.
Lu Li asked him if the God of the Deep Sea could solve the problem of low sanity. Anna then sneered.
"Can't wait to destroy me?"
The God of the Deep Sea said regretfully that he could not. It was difficult for him to control his power and could only prevent Lu Li from becoming a piece of meat or a lunatic by getting close to him.
"Let's go..." He said.
"Where to go."
Lu Li noticed that the God of the Deep Sea was talking about them, not him.
"Go back to the Arran Peninsula... before I go to sleep."
