Chapter 259: Jerk

There are many gods who believe that there may be an earth-shattering conflict between the Lord of Dawn and the God of Light.

Because overnight, the idols of the Lord of the Dawn were transformed into the idols of the God of Light, and the Church of Dawn received an oracle ordering them to merge into the Church of Light...... Whatever the reason behind this change, it represents only one thing – after Amanata, the name Ransendel, associated with the sun, has also become a record in the history of Ferron.

Lord of the Dawn, Sun God, God of Light...... All of these titles belong to a single deity, and his followers are still accustomed to calling him the god of light, Lord of all light, Tonatiu, a new deity who makes the goddess of the night, Shar, look ugly, because by his side are Ogmar, the god of knowledge, Chantia, the mother earth, Tyr, the god of justice, the goddess of wealth, and Sivannas, the god of nature.

It's been a long, long time, so long that even the gods can't remember when the last time such a powerful god appeared that changed the balance of power among the gods, maybe the madman of the chaotic era is one, because he made most of the gods stand against him.

When the eyes of the entire Faeron were fixed on the existence that had changed the entire world in less than a hundred years after becoming a god, the powerful new god did not show himself impetuously or arrogantly, but quietly disappeared into the gaze of the entire main plane, and only a few gods knew where he had gone, and they all had different thoughts about it.

……

Faeron's underworld is not much different from Draenor's underworld in terms of environment, except that there are no brute beasts crisscrossing the wilderness of the underworld, but all you can see are bones and undead as far as the eye can see.

Countless dead have manifested in this afterlife since the appearance of living beings, and the god of death, Cranvo, has been working to put everything in the underworld into eternal sleep, but the effect is not obvious.

Shepard's doppelganger escaped the attention of all who had a heart and made his way to a land where silence and eternal sleep had always been the theme, but instead of visiting Cranvo or anywhere known to the outside world, he went alone to a remote and peaceful place.

This is a desolate corner of the underworld, and in terms of the environment of the underworld, it must be described as desolate, which shows how bleak and lonely it is.

But here there are no undead, no existence, not even Cranvo's divine power can affect this place, the continuous black palace is spread out into the distance like a miracle, and mortals cannot even see its end, like a black beast prostrate on the ground, ready to shake the earth and stand up.

The elite armorers in black and black armor guarded here, they were silent, elite, and there was no murderous aura exposed, because they were like a part of death, and when they saw them, they saw a more or less corner of death.

Shepard did not fly into the palace, he walked to the main entrance of the palace complex, and the guards of the armor got out of the way and let him enter the solemn and terrible palace.

Black is the main color of the palace, and the decorations, murals, corridors, and even the ground are paved with blue-black stone slabs, on which are carved many strange reliefs of unknown significance.

Shepard looked straight ahead and walked inward without hurrying, the speed of the god would not be very slow even if he walked, as long as he wanted, so after only ten minutes, he had reached the center of the temple, a black palace as tall as a hill, the windows and walls were carved with ancient and mysterious reliefs, telling the story of the ancient god of death before Cranvo.

The armor guarding the door pushed open the gate that allowed the hill giants to walk in with their heads held high, and Shepard glanced at them before stepping in, these are Qi mergers, he recognized very clearly, some people's temperament is so ancient that they are older than the gods, it can be seen that they have turned into Qi mergers before the gods became gods.

Stepping into the temple, the deep darkness shrouded here, if it weren't for his strength just against this nature, he wouldn't even be able to see through the shrouded darkness and see the layout of the temple, this was not the dismount given to him by the master of the temple, but the vision that would naturally appear around him when he reached his realm.

"I have followed the invitation to come to visit, Your Highness." Shepard bowed slightly, saluting the tall throne in the center of the temple in front of him, which was not much ornamented.

The figure sitting upright on the throne covered his whole body in a black robe, only about ten meters tall, and did not exude any breath of death or annihilation, he just sat on the throne plainly, but it seemed to be an ancient existence that came out of the source of time, so that all the gods who saw him couldn't help but have respect from the heart, this is the respect for the forerunners, because his existence is the realm that countless gods can not reach.

"Jerk is already in the past...... But there must always be a title to facilitate our communication, so His Highness Tonatiu, or rather, His Highness Shepard? We don't have to be so polite, I call you Shepard, you call me Jerk. ”

The black robe trembled slightly, and the cold voice of death made Shepard's ears feel a slight tingle, without any malice, but just by the sound could make a powerful divine power feel threatened and painful, he couldn't imagine the level of power of this ancient god in front of him, and he regretted his decision a little.

Seeing that Shepard didn't answer, Jecob's voice sounded coldly again: "Don't feel restrained or pressured, didn't Lansender tell you about my existence?" I had met Amenata a long time ago, when he was still Amanata, and I had met him the same once since he became Ransendale, and he was much better than my student, having visited me at least three or four times, unlike the guy who never came to see me again after becoming a Grim Reaper. ”

Shepard's heart sank, what Jegov said was undoubtedly Cranvo, the new god of death, and I had also seen the relevant introduction in the background materials of the game, and it was only two or three hundred years since Cranvo became the god of death, and for the gods, this is an out-and-out newcomer.

Remembering what Ransendel had said at the beginning, he could only trust the character of this former Lord of the Dawn at this moment, so he spoke: "I have heard the name of His Highness Jerkor countless times, but I didn't expect to really have the opportunity to meet him in person. ”

There was some boredom in Jecob's cold voice: "I said that you don't need to call me Your Highness, but, that's it, you newborn little guys are just too restrained, not like we were back then...... You don't think I'm locked up here, do you? I just didn't bother to get out. ”

Shepard shook his head: "I didn't think so, Your Highness's power is so strong, how can there be any existence that can lock you up here." ”

Jego: "There are still some, but it is no longer more than the number of your hands, and that kind of existence is lazier than me, and it is difficult to see each other." ”

Shepard thought about how to ask the ancient god of death what was the purpose of summoning him, and before he could ask, he heard Jecob take the initiative to say: "I asked you to come, just to tell you what I had told Lansendale and Cranvo at the beginning." ”

Shepard was stunned for a moment, and Jego had already continued, "It's not just you, Sivannas, Tyr, and Shar...... Oh, and that little guy from hundreds of years ago, called Woking? I've spoken to them. ”

"Do you know how the power of the gods is divided?" Jecob asked suddenly.

Shepard subconsciously replied: "Weak divine power, weak divine power, medium divine power, strong divine power." ”

"That's right," Jecob's black robe trembled, as if he was approving his head, "but these are only the things that most of the gods know, and there are some things that I know, and the one who swept you to the ground also knows, and the few remaining gods I approve of also know, and now I want you to know too." ”

"Powerful divine power is already the ultimate of the power of the gods, not that the power has reached the upper limit, the power of the gods has almost no limit, whether it is strong or not, it only depends on how much faith you have...... But no matter how strong the divine power goes, there is still a way, and that is not the difference in strength, but the difference in status. ”

Jecob's black robe trembled slightly, and the depth inside seemed to hide a black hole, or connect to the deepest part of the abyss: "I and the one you don't often have, call this kind of existence the ancient gods. ”

"Are Your Highness and God God both ancient gods?" Shepard humbly asked.

"I am, he's not," Jecob's voice didn't change, "If he was, he wouldn't have to leave this main plane to find a way, although the path to promotion to the ancient gods is roughly the same, but if he goes in the wrong direction, he will have to spend a lot of effort to walk back again, he is like this, and Lansender is also like this, don't you wonder why Lansender gave everything to you generously?" Because he has found another world where he can start over without any burden, he wants to throw away everything he once carried and rely on the accumulated experience to rush to the top in that main plane. ”

This ancient god of death doesn't seem to be an indifferent existence, but thinking about how he was able to disperse all his priesthood out of boredom and create three powerful divine powers in one go, you know that his thinking is not something that normal people can figure out.

Jecob's voice didn't stop, and he didn't know if he knew the slander in Shepard's heart: "If you want to become an ancient god, the first step is very simple, [Unique], as long as you have the concept of [Unique] in a main plane, you will be considered to have completed the first step. ”

Shepard asked, "I now have the title of [the only sun god], does that mean I have completed it?" ”

"Not yet," said Jegob, "In this main plane, there are seven continents, three of which have no living beings, and in the remaining four, in addition to your Draenor continent, there is also the Eastern World that is on the same continent as Faerun, and the other two continents that no one has discovered, there are natives on them, and there are also indigenous beliefs, you have to let your name be praised in all places where there are living beings, even if they don't believe in you, they know your name, and this is the completion." ”

Shepard let out a sigh, the vastness of this project was beyond his imagination, no wonder Lansendel resolutely left this main plane, I am afraid that even if there is no pot left by Amanata, he will consider giving up this unimaginably time-consuming project, after all, there is no pantheon to lead the gods, and only a few churches are relied on to promote ocean exploration and conquest, and the consumption will be so great that the gods will throb.

"You thought of Lansendel? That's right, there are only three continents in the new main plane he went to, although each one is surprisingly large, but at least one of them has no living beings, and the other two are not far away, as long as you are patient, you can see results in about a thousand years. ”

Shepard said respectfully, "How did His Highness know so clearly?" ”

Jerk paused for a moment, and then a dull laugh rang out: "Because whether it is the continents of this main plane, or the main plane that Lansender is going to, my faith has existed." ”

Speaking of this, Shepard had no choice but to ask, "Your Highness, what should I do after the first step is completed?" ”

"The second step is to spread the belief in you to other main planes, when you become the only one in your own main plane, you can already be regarded as an ancient god, the ancient gods are with the world, for the main plane, the gods are just managers, and the ancient gods have their own authority and qualifications, for example, I stay here, without my consent, even the lord of the underworld of Cranvo can't interfere."

"The more [unique] concepts you have, the stronger you will become, like Corellon and Moradin, there is nothing in the entire multiverse that can threaten them, so these two guys have no fighting spirit, and Corellon exiles his women into the corners of this multiverse, not knowing that his women have become famous beings in the abyss."

"Queen Rose?" Shepard couldn't help but say.

Jecob's cold voice didn't change much, but after listening to it for a long time, he gradually got used to it: "Yes, her current strength can be regarded as a powerful divine power, don't underestimate this god, although she is distorted, but whether it is in wisdom, conspiracy and ambition, she is not weaker than any god you are familiar with, ambition, this is very important, those gods who have given up their efforts and progress, sooner or later will eat the bitter fruits of their own sowing." ”

Shepard was silent for a moment, because he remembered the three gods of death in the background, and also remembered that Ogma, Sylvanus, Tyr, Woking, and other gods he was either familiar with or came into contact with, each with its own plans and considerations, and there was no doubt that since they had all spoken to Jecob, their purpose was clear at a glance.

Shepard bowed to Jegob as respectfully as a student facing his teacher: "Thank you for your guidance, I don't know how to repay your generosity and kindness. ”

Jecob's posture hadn't changed since Shepard entered the temple, as if he was just a projection of time left here, and nothing would change in the past and future, only the slight movement of the black robe and the subtle fluctuation of divine power proved that it was not a sculpture in front of him.

"Don't think about repaying the reward," said Jego, "the road is there, and you will see it sooner or later, I just pointed it out to you so that you can see it more clearly, and I will not be bored for a long time, but I always want to have someone who is qualified to communicate with me on an equal footing, but Bane, Mirkor, and Baal can't, Bane surprised me a little after the resurrection, but he, like Cranvo, is blinded and can't see anything else." ”

"I used to think Amanata was good, but he failed, and the good thing is that there are latecomers like Sivannas, Tyr, and Woking...... Now that you have been added, don't think that this path is easy, Lansendel has more experience than any of your gods, but he finally chose to give up here, preferring to start over in a strange new world, which is enough for you to face and plan carefully, be patient, and be vigilant. ”
