"Well, it seems like you used too much force." Muria muttered softly as she looked down at the desolate beast below, whose consciousness seemed to have collapsed.
The time he took to become an epic was equivalent to the nearly infinite lifespan of an epic, which could be almost ignored. Therefore, he only had an understanding of the actual abilities possessed by an epic and had never used them.
For example, an epic life form erodes and assimilates the surrounding environment and creatures. As Auston said before, when a mortal creature chants his true name, his body will either collapse or be turned into a monster. However,
In most cases it's the former.
This situation will gradually ease as the chanter's strength improves. For example, if a supernatural creature steps into the world and chants its true name, it will not explode, but it will still be assimilated.
The situation is different when it comes to the legendary level. If a legendary-level existence is not afraid of attracting the attention of the epic whose true name is recited, then reciting the true name of the epic will have almost no impact on it.
The epic power attracted to this degree cannot be assimilated. However, if the legend comes into further contact with the epic, such as looking directly at the true form of the epic, or talking to it, it will also be assimilated, and this assimilation process is irreversible.
.
In other words, the more contact you have with epics, the greater the probability of being assimilated. Of course, the level of this strength is still determined by the strength of the person being assimilated.
Even if a creature at the peak of Legend comes into contact with a newly promoted Epic, there is still a risk of being assimilated.
Once promoted to an epic, even the weakest historical facts basically don’t have to worry about being assimilated by other beings.
At this time, the wild beast under Muria's feet had too much contact with Muria, and its strength was not strong enough to withstand this contact, so its consciousness directly collapsed.
In fact, Muria didn't have much contact with it. He just drew the eyes of the deity. This desolate beast could not be considered as facing its body directly.
But even at this level, this wild beast still couldn't bear it. However, the collapse and death of the wild beast's consciousness did not cause much trouble to Muria.
Because the consequences of this contact still happened to it.
The bone scales and hair on this desolate beast began to fall off in large areas, and its body began to twist and deform. Light golden scales grew back on its body, and two bulges formed on its back.
A huge meat bun.
Poof!
The meat bag burst, and a pair of rugged wings spread out from the back of the desolate beast, giving it a ferocious feel, but it also added a majesty it had never had before.
"That's not bad."
Looking at the desolate beast below, which had changed its form significantly because it looked at him, Muria nodded. The situation was better than he expected.
He originally planned to find a kinsman with the humans in this base city who could provide new core materials for their divine machine, and this desolate beast that he forcibly converted was just right.
The consciousness of this wild beast named Heavenly Father has collapsed during contact with him, but its body is still alive and has successfully completed the transformation. In this case, he has become a very perfect core material
source.
"I have solved the source of the core material. Next, you will formulate a detailed plan to replace the divine machine used by your divine machine."
Muria stepped down from the restraint device, and then ordered to the dumbfounded human executives on the side,
"Its flesh and blood has very strong regenerative properties, but even if you extract materials, you must pay attention to its regeneration speed, and remember to supplement it with some nutrients."
"We are aware of your instructions and we will complete the change as soon as possible."
After witnessing this incredible scene that was like a creation, the attitude of the top human beings changed even more than before and became more respectful.
…
"Your Highness Muria, what's the point of helping these humans?" After completing the task assigned by Muria, Auston asked Muria with some confusion after returning. He couldn't understand Muria.
behavior.
"Do I think you are doing some useless work?" Muria asked with a smile when the ancient dragon who had been with him since birth asked him.
"No, I'm not stupid. How could I have such thoughts? The vision of an epic is completely different from that of a legend. There must be reasons why you behave like this that I don't understand."
After years of vicissitudes, Auston, who is no longer as unruly and impulsive as before, answered very calmly.
"Your attitude is very good. If you can maintain it, you may not have the chance to become the Dragon King in the future."
Regarding Auston's current attitude, Muria nodded in approval, and then he answered Auston's question,
"Of course I have a purpose in helping these humans. The will of the world in this world has revived and is paying attention to our every move."
"Yeah!" Hearing Muria's words, Auston was shocked and immediately planned to cast a spell to shield the surrounding area.
"Don't be nervous. The world's will is focused on what we do for it, not on the conversation between us. Even if it hears it, it won't be able to understand it."
Seeing Auston who was frightened by him, Muria spoke to comfort him, "And even if you cast a legendary level spell, it will be useless. We are now in its body, and you can't shield it."
its perception of us.”
"But your highness, you should be able to do that, right?"
"Yes, but it's not necessary. Everything I do for mankind is to win the favor of the world's will and also to enhance its foundation."
"That's it." Auston looked thoughtful. Under the premise of understanding Auston's identity, seeing this look on his face, Muria felt inexplicably happy.
"What did you understand? Tell me."
"Strictly speaking, the will of the world is the aggregation of consciousness of all living things in the world, which is not limited to intelligent races, but also includes all animals, plants and other spiritual things.
However, this world has been seriously eroded by the evil gods' followers, and a mass extinction of species has occurred. Among the only remaining creatures, humans account for a very large proportion.
Therefore, if you help mankind and make mankind have a favorable impression of you, it will directly affect the attitude of the world's will towards you."
"Not bad, it seems that your book is not in vain."
"Hehe." Hearing Muria's appreciation, Auston showed a proud smile on his face. After laughing for a while, he suppressed the smile on his face and continued to ask Muria,
"But even if you gain the favor of the will of this world, what's the use? This world has declined to such an extent that it won't be able to provide much help in the next battle between you and the evil god."
"As for the help, there is still some help, but not much. You can basically ignore it. I don't expect the world to help me much."
Muria stood on the steel city wall, with his hands behind his back, looking at the desolate and silent wilderness in the distance without any plant growth, his eyes were deep,
"The reason why I win the favor of the world's will is not for the battle with the evil god, but for what happens after the battle."
"After the battle?" Auston's eyes showed doubts.
"You are an ancient dragon who has lived for thousands of years. Don't be too short-sighted and take a long-term view."
"I still don't understand." After thinking hard for a while, Auston's temper began to get angry.
"This small world does not have any extraordinary power. The intelligent races in it are developing technological civilization, and they have only this path to choose.
So you should be able to understand how low the energy level of this small world is, right? Among all the small worlds, the small world we are in now is at the bottom. And this is why it is targeted by the evil god.
"
After hearing Muria's explanation, Auston's eyes were still blank. He still didn't understand what Muria wanted to do.
"After my battle with the evil god is over, what do you think will happen to this small world?"
"At least it will be greatly affected by your battle with the evil god, and it will become more damaged. It will probably take longer to recover."
"Not to mention whether this world can survive the battle between me and the evil god, but right now, the internal circulation of this world has been completely destroyed, and it has almost lost its ability to repair itself. If there is no external intervention, even if I
If you stop the evil god, it will most likely be destroyed."
"Are you planning to..." At this point, Auston finally followed Muria's tone and guessed Muria's plan, so he was shocked.
"You guessed it, no need to say it." Muria glanced at Auston, and the ancient dragon shut his mouth honestly.
"Next, let me assign you a task!"
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Alston, who already understood Muria's ambitions, was even more convinced by Muria. He saw Muria's terrifying greed.
"Don't you think the wilderness in front of you is really too eye-catching? It's so bare, with nothing, and it's all sand and gravel. Isn't it too ugly?"
"Yes, it's ugly."
"Next, go and plant trees. Lead all the dragons to plant trees. As for tree species, I guess there are no suitable ones in this world. Just use the seeds cultivated in my demiplane."
"I will definitely live up to your trust." Hearing that Muria asked him to plant trees, Auston not only did not feel aggrieved, he was even extremely excited, because he knew the purpose of planting trees.
"The more trees I plant, the better. I hope that within a year, the wilderness in front of me will be filled with greenery."
