Chapter 535: The Unquenchable Fire
An unquenchable flame that began with Iluvita lives on in his soul! This fire is pure, containing the supreme power of creation, through which Iluvita created the Veras in her own mind, and with this fire, she created the universe. And the Veras were able to create all things, create heaven and earth, in addition to the power bestowed by Iluvita, by virtue of this flame.
And as the firstborn child of Illuvita, the elves. Their souls also contain an unquenchable fire, which is the proof of their eternal life. But the unquenchable fire in the souls of the elves is too small to keep them close to Arda and give them eternal life. They don't have the power to create like Vera and Maia. Moreover, the unquenchable fire will also be separated from the offspring because the elves give birth to offspring, and some of them will be passed on to the body of the offspring.
And as time goes by, the number of descendants of the elves gradually increases, and the inevitable unquenchable fire will become less and less. This is why, at the end of the First Age, the Second and Third Ages, the elves were not as tall and strong as the High Elves. Even the immaculate beauty of the High Elves has degraded from the elves of later generations.
The term High Elves is not only used to distinguish it from the elves of the previous generation who have been to Valinor and bathed in the glory of the Twin Sacred Trees. Similarly, the title of High Elf is synonymous with their strength. During the First Age, Morgoth created many evil creatures, including the Firefiend and the dragons that followed, as well as trolls, and more. The High Elves have always had a record of slaying fire demons or dragons against these powerful creatures of darkness. And their future descendants will never be able to slay the fire demons or evil dragons like their ancestors. The unquenchable fire in their souls is much smaller than that of their ancestors, too much. Not only did Jean not make them as strong as their ancestors, but they also degraded in stature. The tall elves are generally more than two meters tall, and they are strong and powerful, but their junior elves have never appeared so tall again.
As the chief of the original elves and the first son of Iluvita, Jiang Ning's soul contained an unquenchable fire that was comparable to Maia's. In addition, he has an otherworldly background, which makes him in fact stronger than many Maia, and even in the face of individual Vera he dares to challenge. Morgoth was in a unique situation, spreading his power into the species he had created, with the dual constraints of earth and law. As a result, Morgoth's strength has dropped sharply, but it is also stronger than Maia. Including Sauron, who was once the strongest in Maia, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the face of Morgoth, whose strength had been greatly damaged.
Originally, Jiang Ning's soul was reincarnated in this realm for the purpose of the world itself and the Twin Sacred Trees. But when he learned the mystery of the elves' eternal life and their power as the creator of all things and the creator of the universe. He began to plan his calculations on an unquenchable fire, a flame that contained the power to create all things and was worth more than any world. It's just that in Valinor, he can't attack Vera or Maia. Moreover, he was very wary of the existence of his titular father, Iluvita. The Mighty One who created the universe does not know where to hide, and does not care about everything in Middle-earth. It was only later when the Númenóreans wanted to attack Valinor that they toppled the mountain and buried the Númenóreans. Other than that, apart from waking up his children, Zai couldn't hear anything about him.
When intelligence was scarce, he didn't dare to do so, and he always showed himself as a good baby. He mediated conflicts between his kind, had a great time with the Veras, and learned a lot of knowledge from them that he had never seen before. In particular, a part of the information about the creation of heaven and earth, even the knowledge that the Veras unintentionally revealed, made them happy. In Valinor, except for Uomou, who lives in the deep sea, Mandus lives in the underworld, and several other powerful Veras gather in Valinor. These powerful beings gathered in one place, how dare he be presumptuous in Valinor, no matter how much Vera loves the beauty of elves, he doesn't dare. Therefore, he took the calculation into Morgoth's head, especially knowing that Morgoth's self-destruction of the Great Wall had dispersed power into the land of Middle-earth, into the creatures he had created. He knew his chance had come, and he was finally able to kill Morgoth's only body in the face of Morgoth's great loss of strength, and tried to absorb Morgoth's unquenchable fire through Kunguhar.
And Morgoth naturally has a calculation in his heart, he wants to instill his evil and darkness through the unquenchable fire, so as to corrupt and degenerate the strongest elf in the world, and become his right-hand man. To Vera and Maia, the flesh was nothing more than a garment to them. They have no concrete form of their own, and even Iluvita is nothing more than a sphere of endless white light. The flesh is a garment for them, and they can wear the flesh of any race at will, but the moment Morgoth loses his Vera identity, he also loses the ability to wear the flesh form. His image is permanently fixed, and his soul is imprisoned in the only body. The moment Jiang Ning stabbed Kunguhar into his heart, the scorching heat from the brilliance of the Twin Sacred Trees made Morgoth suddenly come back to his senses. He understood that the scheming and cunning of the elves in front of him were never below him, and he regarded everything as a tool, including himself.
The fight with the orc army under his command, the desperate fight with the fire demons, Sauron, and the dragons, are all just him playing tricks for him. The purpose is to let him see that he is at the end of his physical strength, just like Fen Guoyu at that time. Only then, when he asks for a duel, will he accede to his request, leave the impregnable Angban, and appear in the empty wilderness to fight him. So that he might have a chance to kill him. And he finally succeeded in lowering Morgoth's vigilance through repeated battles with Morgoth, and when he thought he was winning, he stabbed Morgoth into the heart with a sword, ending his only physical form.
And all these calculations were only used to obtain the flame in his soul, the unquenchable fire. Morgoth's heart was extremely surprised, and when they still limited their eyes to Alda, they didn't expect the elves in front of them to set their eyes on the universe, focusing on the unquenchable fire that could create everything. Morgoth, after his initial astonishment, was glad to see all this, and how could a man of such ambition seem to him to be a truly good person?
If you can corrupt it, you will lead him into darkness and degenerate the strongest elf in the world. Then, everything in the universe will fall under his attack, and he can hide behind the scenes and watch his right-hand man succeed in taking Alda into his hands. He will then be able to ascend to the realm of the One True God, the true Lord of all things.
So, he chose to fulfill him, to instill the unquenchable fire in his soul into the elf's body, and to fulfill his ambitions. At the same time, he also instilled his own expectations for his ambition into the strongest elf in the world in front of him, expecting him to become Morgoth II!
