102 The Essence of the Gods
The mage who was originally a helper and some of the legendary knights suddenly attacked, and when the Sanctuary Knight had no way to fight back, the Sanctuary Knight was completely annihilated, and there was no way to preserve the soul.
The Sanctuary Knight dies, and his soul is completely annihilated.
The man-made gods that were about to succeed completely collapsed.
In the eyes of the legendary knights and mages of the time, the massive form of the artificial god was truly crumbling.
The legendary knights who killed the knights of the Sanctuary in a sneak attack, they used the energy fluctuations of the collapse of artificial gods to kill some powerful mages.
Then with great power, dominate the mage.
At this time, the knights changed their name to themselves, and they called themselves alchemists, because they relied on the power and skills of the World Root Law opened up by the Knights of the Holy Domain, and they could create things in the void, and even arrogantly claimed: Give me a condition, I can refine a world again.
In the years that followed, alchemists were at the top of the Terran civilization on the continent.
And the mages are under the sequence of alchemists, and their status and glory have not changed in any way.
However, after the betrayal of the legendary knights, these intellectuals who themselves are ordinary people, because of the knowledge spread by the knights of the sanctuary, who have mastered the rules of the world and exerted all kinds of energy, are afraid that with their own death, the knowledge in their hands will also be completely cut off.
But these mages can't preserve the power they have, like knights, through bloodline reproduction.
They have power because they have knowledge.
And the knight is to develop the blood in the body to master the power, and then to master the knowledge.
Therefore, the path of the knight's bloodline cannot be done among mages.
At this time, when all the high-ranking mages were in despair, watching the knowledge and power they had worked so hard to gain be completely overwhelmed by their own death, a mage came up with a new idea.
Since the power of the knights is preserved in the bloodline, they rely on the development of flesh power to drive energy.
And we are mages, relying on spiritual power and knowledge to leverage the energy of the world, why can't we start studying from this aspect.
So the mage began to study in secret.
All the high-ranking mages joined in the secret study, and then they held the trial.
Integrate all your knowledge into a certain World Root Law, when the Terran spiritual power on the continent exceeds a certain limit, you will come into contact with these World Root Laws, and then gain the ability to cast spells, and at the same time gain more knowledge.
Learn more, study more, master more power, and the Law of the World Roots preserves all knowledge for them.
Their experiment was successful.
But this experiment also broke down the world's external defense barriers.
The laws of the world are infected by the spiritual power of the mages inside, which is equivalent to changing the integrity of the laws of the world, so that there are loopholes in the world.
Then the information of the world was leaked out.
The Void Evil Gods and Demon Gods in the void outside the world have projected into the world through this loophole.
These mysterious evil gods and demon gods who don't know where they came from, they have no way to enter the interior of the world, and can only descend through the projection of a trace of insignificant power.
Moreover, these insignificant forces would not have done any harm to any living beings on the continent.
Ordinary beings can't resonate with such a projection power, they can't feel it at all.
And the knights above the legend have a hundred times stronger spiritual core, even if they sense it, they will only be regarded as the unjust souls and dark aura left on the mainland, and they will be completely annihilated if they go down with a single thought.
Only mages.
Only mages with strong and keen spiritual powers, they exercise their spiritual power through meditation and other methods, and are known for their majestic spiritual power and fine spiritual skills to send out a variety of spells.
Therefore, the mage sensed the projection thoughts of these evil gods and demon gods descending.
And the mages with low strength, they will be disturbed by the thoughts of this evil god and the power projection of the demon god, and there is no way to go further, only the most tenacious mage among them can break the influence of these projection thoughts of the evil god and the demon god like a nightmare whisper, and continue to be promoted.
And those who are the most powerful mages, they feel the power from the projection thoughts of these evil gods and demon gods, a power with the rules of the world.
So the top mages in the continent secretly reached an agreement with these evil gods and demon gods.
Evil gods and demon gods, they provide more knowledge, allowing mages to gain more power.
And the mages carry out blood sacrifices on the continent, forming a temporary channel, transmitting those creatures in the continent, the energy within the world, and contributing to the evil gods and demon gods.
The power of these sacrifices is both important and unimportant to the evil gods and demon gods
The main thing is that with these energies transmitted from within the world, the evil gods and demon gods can study the rules of their own world, helping them to expand the loopholes of the laws of the world, allowing them to descend with greater energy and ideas.
The connection between the mage and the evil god, the demon god, with the passage of time, the strength of the mage became stronger and was discovered by the alchemist, that is, the former legendary mage.
The enraged alchemists prepare to purge all the high-ranking mages.
And these mages have already mastered more powerful powers, so they are naturally unwilling to wait for death.
As a result, the two sides engaged in a bloody battle that lasted for three hundred years.
Days-long wars, crazy energy storms, yes, the population of the continent has plummeted, less than one percent of what it was before the war.
The environment on the continent has also changed drastically, becoming more extreme and harsher.
All kinds of monsters, which were originally rare, also took the opportunity to flee and thrive in the wild and wilderness.
At the end of the war, the mage was victorious, and the knight was completely overthrown.
The mages were victorious, and they became the overlords of the continent, controlling large city-states one by one.
However, they are mages after all, and they are very good at researching knowledge, but they are not keen on managing the territory, expanding the population, and forming a system of rights to lead the development and reproduction of people.
As a result, those knights who were losers, and their gold-level powerhouses were all purged.
But the knightly class was not completely wiped out.
Previously it was Alchemist (Legendary Knight) as the top and Mage as the second sequence.
Now that the mage is the top of the continental civilization, the knight has become the armed force of the second order.
In addition, the environment of the continent at that time had undergone drastic changes due to the energy storm, which led to a sharp decline in the population of the human race, and a large area of no man's land appeared on the continent.
In these no-man's land wildernesses, all kinds of monsters and races are trying to reproduce and survive.
Goblins are rapidly expanding because they multiply rapidly.
Centaurs and gnolls, kobolds and goblins, became the largest intelligent race outside of the Terrans.
Although they were divided into intelligent races, they did not forget their blood feud against humans, so after their own race became a climate, they united to attack the strongholds and territories of the human race.
The Terran mage has become the first sequence, mastering powerful spell energy, which can release a wide range of energy attacks, and easily resist the attacks of the combined armies of the foreign race.
And the mages joined forces with each other to create a larger range of energy destruction, destroying most of the elite armies of the foreign alliance in one fell swoop, so that the lucky survivors of these foreign monster armies no longer dared to fight against the human army and migrated to farther away.
Even so, the Terrans have only retained their basic territory, which is less than a tenth of what it once was.
There are more territories that fall into the hands of foreign monsters, and where there are more monster races entrenched.
And those intelligent monster races are also secretly accumulating strength, wanting to completely exterminate the human race and eliminate future troubles.
The two sides are on the same page.
Humans and foreigners have entered the years of cultivation.
During these years, mages relied on the knowledge of evil gods and demon gods to become more powerful, unleash more powerful spells, establish a unified and clear promotion ladder, train more mages, and establish a mage organization.
The mage develops, and the knight, as a vassal and assistant of the mage, also develops.
The population is exploding, and so is the power of mages and knights.
In foreign territories, the population is also increasing.
The contradiction between the human race and the foreign race has once again come to the fore.
Races and civilizations, for the sake of survival, are about to erupt again into a fight and battle.
Subsequently, not surprisingly, the strong mages and strong knights of the Terran race, with the Terran warriors who formed a large army, went around to conquer, expand the territory, eliminate foreign races, and recover the once broken rivers and mountains.
After a series of great battles, the Terrans have won a series of victories.
Terran mages and knights, they became proud.
Finally, when they were dealing with a large centaur tribe, they fell into a trap and were about to be besieged by the centaur army.
In order to survive, the high-level mage once again reached a contract with the evil god and the demon god, and held a grand sacrifice ceremony.
When this extremely evil sacrificial ritual was completed, all the centaur warriors on the entire battlefield and a third of the Terran army soldiers were all wrapped in the energy of the sacrifice, turned into a blood light, and sacrificed to the evil gods and demon gods.
And the gifts of the evil gods and demon gods were also very generous, and the majestic energy and countless knowledge were injected into the mind of this ordinary high-level mage, instantly propelling him to become one of the most powerful top mages on the continent.
According to the practice at that time, if a mage fails to fight, he will not be punished, but will only deduct his research funds and rights.
However, it is a great sin to communicate with evil gods and demon gods privately, so if this mage returns to the mage council, it will definitely be a dead end, and even if he does not die, he will be imprisoned for life.
But at this time, he had already become one of the top mages at the level of the pseudo-sanctuary because of the infusion of the power of evil gods and demon gods, how could he allow his power to be deprived by others, so he left the battlefield with the remaining warriors and knights, went to another savage area, established a new city-state, and cut off contact with the former mage council.
Subsequently, this mage who sacrificed to the evil god and the demon god fought several crazy battles with the mage council and kept his position, but he also completely broke off all relations with the mage council and became a mortal enemy.
At this time, this mage, who was already a little crazy, called himself the Chosen One, high above all beings on the continent, a servant of the gods, a god of a low race, and a slave master of all living beings.
In order to become stronger, and even in order to completely eliminate the threat of the Mage Council, he eliminated all the mages, completely surrendered to the evil gods and demon gods, wantonly captured all kinds of intelligent creatures on the continent, and held large-scale blood sacrifice ceremonies again and again, so as to obtain more power from the evil gods and demon gods.
The Chosen One, who had gained great power, decided to preemptively infiltrate the Mage Council and kill the top and powerful top mages on the other two continents.
However, what he killed was only the fake created by the two top mages, not the mage itself.
It is also because of this that this mage has exposed his strength.
Afterward, the three top mages engaged in a bloody battle in the skies of the Mage Council, and all kinds of powerful and majestic battle spells poured down on the mountains of destruction and the city.
Destroy the city where the Mage Council is located and most of the low-level mages in it.
The outcome of the battle was a tiebreaker.
The Chosen One was wounded and fled.
The other two top mages didn't have the strength to chase them down.
After returning to his own territory, the Chosen One ordered all the knights to lead the warriors and go out to hunt down all kinds of monsters and intelligent races.
Even the Terrans who were not their city-states were spared.
The other two top mages, in order to fight against the Chosen One who became more and more powerful because of the blood sacrifice, had no choice but to hold blood sacrifices, sacrificing evil gods and demon gods, gaining more powerful power and becoming the new Chosen One.
However, unlike the first Chosen One, while gaining great power, they are also secretly studying the notes of the former alchemist, pursuing the knowledge and power of the ancients, in an attempt to replicate the alchemist method pioneered by the original Sacred Knights.
Their covert research has yielded certain results, and even recondensed the energy-based bodies of artificial gods.
The only thing that was missing was the last step of the former alchemist.
Complete the souls of artificial gods.
And at this time, the evil gods and demon gods outside the world, they also discovered the artificial gods that were about to take shape, and they projected huge spiritual powers, ready to snatch the body of the first god in this world.
The two Chosen Ones, naturally, would not allow the man-made gods who protected the world to be encroached upon by the evil gods and demon gods from the outside.
Therefore, they also gave up their physical bodies and entered the bodies of artificial gods in the most powerful soul form, relying on their familiarity and knowledge of artificial gods, and possessing the authority of artificial gods to resist the spiritual encroachment of evil gods and demon gods.
At this time, the Mage Council on the continent lost two of the most powerful top mages, and the mages in the Mage Council became a scattered group, each working in their own way, leading the knights who followed them to establish their own city-states.
The first Chosen One, who could have unified all the mages in the entire continent, found that no matter how huge the blood sacrifice ceremony was, there was no way to use the power descended from the evil gods and demon gods to continue to increase his strength, and his strength was also stuck in the middle of the Legend to the Holy Domain, becoming a veritable pseudo-Holy Domain.
He has become the strongest and has no enemies, so this Chosen One secretly seeks to make himself more powerful, but on the surface he does not continue to conquer other mage city-states.
