The deepest part of the ruins of Brandy Island.

This is a long-dusted ruin, with seven huge stone monuments towering in the center of the ruins, and the most central of the seven monuments has been completely destroyed, leaving only a part of the pedestal... The other six steles are 30 meters high.

Dunheath knelt alone in front of the second stele... Wiped away the dust that had accumulated on the ground with his hands, and there were many extremely old words engraved on the ground, even older than the existence of this world itself.

He has been trying to parse these words for years, but at this stage he has only deciphered a small passage, which means, 'Why should we obey the will of those gods when we created God?' ’

This passage is not from the perspective of a god, but from the perspective of a most ordinary and ordinary mortal.

Dunheath believes that this passage reveals how the world works, and that the gods of the world do not exist... But it is the belief that people have placed in the gods that the gods are born.

But now the gods who have been bred in the faith of mortals are able to enslave mortals at will.

Dunheath imagined that the person who wrote this passage must have been quite indignant.

Now Dunheath is in the same situation, as a patient of the plague of crystallization disease... It is not only the kings and armies of the world who want to kill him, but also the gods of this world.

But the gods couldn't do that, because he got his power from the crystallized plague! A power that can fight against the gods.

But the force was still too weak, and Dunheath had to find a way to make himself stronger.

He put his hand on the second stone tablet and listened quietly to the sound of the island... Soon his arms began to distort, and the flesh of his arms was torn apart by hideous crystalline barbs, and Dunheath's pupils gradually turned into pale golden vertical pupils.

He let out a muffled grunt of pain... The screams gradually shifted from human shouts to the roars of some kind of monsters.

But in the next second, Dun Heath suddenly let go of the arm against the stone tablet, and the distortion on his body quickly disappeared, only the blood dripping on the ground told Dun Heath that the distortion of his body just now was not an illusion.

"With my talent... Still can't be able to maintain oneself completely? ”

Dunheath stood up from the stele and looked at his bloodied arm.

The potential of the plagiarist is not limited to the ability to imitate other people, the power they really should have should be to imitate the form of existence of other people.

Dunheath's potential is far from enough, and neither are his apprentices, except for his former student Elena... She has that potential.

As long as Yelena becomes a perfect crystallized seed, then at least the monsters inhabiting the Spirit Vein Forest will bow down to her.

"Mentor, it's time to eat!" Dunheath's apprentice walked into the ruins and shouted at him.

"Aixin, is there enough food for the last time?"

Dunheath changed his clothes again and followed his apprentice out into the depths of the ruins.

This ancient ruin is divided into four layers, and the outermost two layers of ruins have been abandoned, so Duncy has been strengthening the defense of the outermost ruins over the years.

The third layer is the area where ordinary people live, and what he wants to build is a country where law-thieves can live freely, and the country cannot live without its citizens.

So Dun Heath has been secretly rescuing those who have been hunted down and killed by the Crystal Disease for all these years, and has placed them in the third layer.

The third layer is also the largest area of the entire ruins, farmland, pastures, if you don't take into account... With the 'mouthful' taste of the creature meat on Brand, this small country of only about 2,000 people can barely be considered self-sufficient.

The second layer is the core area of the ruins, and while the second layer of ancient magic defense is still in effect, Dun Heath is confident that even if the four empires unite their own armies to attack the second layer of the ruins, it will not be captured.

The only downside was that the second level of the ruins was too small to fit five or six buildings for research, with the innermost core being an area that only Dunheath could enter.

"No, we failed to catch the Holy Spirit who stole our food, and every time she stole something, she left behind this food that would not perish." The apprentice named Aisin handed Dunheath a... It looks like an appetizing roast chicken.

"The creation of the God of Devourer," Dunheath said, glancing at the roast chicken.

"There are already several civilians who have eaten the food left by the Holy Spirit... Symptoms of poisoning, Mentor, this food doesn't look much different from other foods, except it doesn't taste good. Aisin said.

"Not everyone can digest the creation of the God Eater, and it is very difficult for humans to digest it, so feed this thing to the molten core dragon we raised." Dunheath threw the roast chicken back to Ashin.

"Understood, there is also the reduction of the tutor food and... Rumors of enemies hiding in the city and crystal hunters landing on the island have kept the people in a state of panic, and some of them are now gathering at the entrance to the second floor, what do you decide to do? Aisin asked again.

"Crystal Hunter...... It's time to tell my fellow citizens... Something truth up. ”

Duncy stepped out of the core of the ruins and headed straight for the Third Civilian Quarter.

When he arrived at the civilian quarters, there was already a group of law-stealing civilians outside, their faces full of panic, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw when they saw Dunheath.

"Mentor Dunheath..."

"Mentor."

Some of the law-stealing civilians even fell to their knees when they saw Dunheath.

"I can see the fear in your eyes, the panic ......," Dunheath began, and as he spoke, the law-stealing civilians around him stopped grumbling.

"But why should we be afraid?" Dunheath's voice slowly echoed throughout the civilian quarters, "Are we afraid that the soldiers of the Land of the Dawn will hunt you down?" Or are the soldiers of the Land of Flowing Water chasing us? We are afraid of the old humans, they think you are the source of the plague, the symbol of disaster, but it seems to me that they are just the product of being eliminated from this world, we have more power than them, we have more magical adaptability, what right do they have to think that we... Is it the existence that should be eliminated? ”

This is what Dun Heath has always wanted to say in his heart, those who have survived the infection of the crystal disease have far more strength and magical adaptability than ordinary people!

Crystallization is nothing more than a selection of natural selection, where those who have no talent die on the path of evolution, and those who have talent get stronger strength and a better future.

But in fact, this is not the case, the presence of the gods makes the infected people of the crystal disease an outlier, because the mortality rate of the crystal disease is too high! The power of the gods comes from the faith of all beings, and all beings are dead... The gods, of course, will also dissipate.

"We are the future of this world." Dunheath said to the confused law-stealing civilians, "The power you have now is a gift, not a gift from God!" It's something you earned with your own life. ”

He was about to continue his inspiring speech when one of Dunheath's apprentices hurried up to him from the fourth floor.

"Guide... Mentor... The Holy Spirits... The entrance to the ruins was discovered... And... As you expected, but too fast! ”

Hearing this, Dunheath glanced at the roast chicken in the hand of his apprentice Aishin.

"It's too fast, but it's sooner or later, be ready to fight and keep those madmen out of our city as much as possible." Dunheath said.
