One of the main gods of the water god lineage, Lord Wendy, the great lord of lakes and rivers, is a very old deity like the other main gods born of entities, and she has existed in the world since the time when the seeds of faith began to germinate. Although she was a young woman in the form of her mortal incarnation, in terms of the time of her personification, her existence was far older than the Silver Moon and the Dark Moon, and her birth was not even much later than that of Kaeya, the Mother of Earth, and she could be said to be one of the oldest gods.

Water is soft, nourishing all things, and so is Lord Wendy, who always feels weak and gentle, which is already a fixed image in her believers' hearts, but most people forget that there is almost nothing in the world that can stop the erosion of flowing water for many years, and they ignore it intentionally or unintentionally, and the flood that swallows up everything and destroys everything is actually a symbol of Lord Wendy.

Yes, there is actually a rather aggressive side to Wendy's image, in fact, when she shows her violence, she is even more threatening than the Lord of Fire, Ofregan, because she doesn't like to do it all the time, and usually hides her aggression under a soft appearance.

"Why?" Shure suddenly asked, "I've been in contact with Lord Wendy more than once, and while mortals are not qualified or capable of speculating on the will of the gods, I think I may be a special case, at least for now. From what I've been talking to, Mistress Wendy wouldn't have targeted you for no reason, and there's no record in the books that she's had a conflict with you, well, at least not before the Pioneer Era, so there must be a reason why she did it, what triggered the wrath of Soft Water?"

"This question ......" Segris did not question Shure's self-proclaimed qualifications, he did already have them, but Segris's question was also quite acute, "You want to judge the right and wrong between us?"

"Praise be to the Lord of the Dragons, your power is unmatched. "But what about your brain?" Shuer quickly rolled his eyes secretly, "When is there a right or wrong in the conflict of interests?"

"Oh, I like that. Segris seemed pleased with Shure's answer, "I didn't invite you here to let you judge right or wrong, and there was no right or wrong in my dispute with the gods. ”

"In the first few hundred years, although intelligent creatures gradually encroached on the wilderness, the scale was relatively small, and it was only a marginal area, and children had a vast living space, so I didn't care, I just regarded these as the ignorant spontaneous behavior of intelligent creatures. ”

"Actually?"

In fact, it is indeed the spontaneous act of ignorance. Segris shook his huge head, "Most of them don't even know we exist in the Savage Lands. ”

Of course I don't know, if it weren't for Moria's mention, Shure wouldn't know anything either.

"But as time goes on, they get more and more excessive, and that's when we can't go any further. As a result, although the dragons did not join the battle, they instructed the intelligent beings among the children to lead their people to destroy a large number of cities deep into the wilderness. This is how the conflict between me and Wendy arose in the first place. Segris sighed softly, well, very lightly, that is, it set off a gust of wind, "As for the gradual intensification, that will be later." ”

"Oh, poor healing priest. "Although what Segris said is vague, but he is also a priest, how can Shur not understand that the priesthood of Lord Wendy has always been the most professional in healing magic among all the priesthood, and having a healing priest of Lord Wendy in an adventurous team means that it is safe and secure, and such a dangerous activity as the exploration of the Savage Land of course requires hiring a large number of healing priests to support the development of the city, but the dragons and mythical beasts are interested in distinguishing which human is the priest of which god, so under the war, the priest of the Temple of Water suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that the priest of all the other gods combined。

Although the gods will not interfere with the life and death of believers at will with their own will, but that is only for normal circumstances, the participation of the dragon clan in the war is not normal, let alone an undeclared war, no wonder Lord Wendy is furious about this.

Wendy did not intervene directly in the war, but since then, the nations where she is the main believer have become more active in the development of the wilderness, and have exaggerated the gains, attracting all nations to follow suit, and there are a large number of god-blessed weapons and equipment in the pioneer team, which could not be without her support. ”

"If we only do this step, maybe we can still be patient, but too long to live in safety has made those intelligent creatures forget their awe of the powerful, and when they saw the figure of our dragon clan and knew that we were worshiped by the children, they dared to attack us, vainly trying to kill the dragon, and some even shouted the slogan of being the first dragon slayer warrior. ”

Isn't it good to be alive? Shul would love to dig those people out of the soil and ask them this question himself, and if he thought about some things in his heart, he would be self-defeating. In his opinion, it is like running into the civilized world and shouting the slogan of killing gods against the gods, and dying is not worthy of sympathy at all.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus on this point. Segris could see Shuer's thoughts at a glance, "The dragons also think they deserve to die, so they joined the war." ”

"Huh?" Shul raised an eyebrow, "Personally participated in the battle, why is there no record of fighting the dragons in the Pioneering?"

Segris didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

"Okay, got it. "Yes, all the intelligent beings who participated in the war are dead, how can there be any record.

"Odin, I remember you even participated in the war yourself. ”

"Yes...... Father. Odin glanced at Shure and nodded, "And more than once." ”

"Probably the dragons' participation in the war detonated the conflict between me and Wendy. "Segris accepted Odin's title as a matter of course, no wonder the relationship between the two dragons is quite special, it turns out to be the inheritance of father and son, "Wendy united a large number of gods and personally declared war on my kingdom, at the same time, the servants of these gods also began to take the troops of the temple together, launched a war against the wild land, and some of the gods even personally lowered their power to attack the members of the dragon clan, and many dragons died because of this. There is no doubt that this was the signal for a total war, and as for what happened after that, you should already know by now. ”

Yes, of course, I know that the second duel was lost by the gods, and under the threat of the death of Segris, the pace of development had to be stopped, and a fierce conflict broke out between the gods because of this, and the era of chaos came.

"Well, all the doubts about the whole thing are solved. Shuer smiled bitterly in his heart, Lord Anika, although I know that you probably mean well, but before I learn about this subversive content, can you give me a hint first, let me be a little mentally prepared, otherwise I will be very distressed. It's a pity, no matter how distressed she is, it is estimated that she will not be able to exchange Anika's sympathy, she is already very merciful if she doesn't snicker on the side, so Shuer can only sigh and say, "Then your current state ...... It's not just a matter of longevity. ”

"Have you seen a precedent for turning from a god back to a mortal?"

I'm sorry, but I haven't even seen the precedent of going from mortal to god. However, these words can only be thought about in the heart, and Shuer shook his head vigorously and said, "There has never been such a record. ”

"Well, because I'm the only one of Parvadiga to do so far, and though I'm forced to do it out of necessity, I didn't even know the gods could do it before me. There was a hint of pride in Segres's voice, "The mortal body can't withstand the will and power of the gods, in that case, wouldn't it be better to suppress the strength and will to the extent that the body can bear it?"

"Huh?" "Just kidding, it's that simple?

"No, it's not easy at all. "There is nothing simple in the world of the gods, in fact it is quite a complicated process and extremely draining. ”

"I will use my will to suppress my will while maintaining my will, and I will use my own strength to suppress my own power while maintaining my own power. It was like a tongue twister, but Shuer was horrified to find that he actually understood, "After this, it is only the reverse of the steps taken to go back to the promotion of the gods. Destroy the godhead, destroy the godhead, and then use the will to wrap the broken godhead and divine power, and return to the original body together. ”

"The essence of this method is to deceive the laws of the world, so that the laws think that the dragon god has fallen, and even the godhead has been destroyed, so the authority belonging to the dragon god will dissipate, and it will not be reunited until the next dragon god appears. However, in fact, the godhead, including the will of the gods, has not been completely destroyed, but has only been hidden in my own body, so it belongs to the belief in the dragon god, and it will still continue to gather into my body, so that I can use the power of the gods. ”

"Oh. Shuer nodded numbly, he didn't know what to say, this was completely the way to kill opponents between gods, and it was simply ...... Unable to comment.

"It's crazy, it sounds like it's impossible to make it, but it turns out that I made it back. The face of the silver dragon showed an expression very similar to that of a human, which was a wry smile when he was helpless, "It's a pity that I didn't realize until I returned to my own body that things were not as easy as I imagined." ”

"I must always try my best to suppress the will and strength of the gods, to the extent that my body can withstand it, and the suppression rate is not one hundredth or one thousandth, but so small that it is difficult to describe in numbers. In other words, I will use the insignificant will that the remaining mortal body can withstand to suppress the will and power that belongs to the gods. ”

"Lift yourself up. ”

"Hehe, it's almost the same thing, but I still did it, the problem is that I can't relax a little after I come back, otherwise the power that the gods can bear will instantly burst my body and destroy my will. Yinlong said with a wry smile, "But this is just the beginning, and the real trouble has not yet appeared." ”

"Tsk, I'm already seeing trouble. Xiu'er had no malicious intent, but it was difficult to hide the ridicule in his tone, so that he was not mocking the dragon god, but mocking the ridiculous fate, "Who would have thought in advance that the source of trouble was the endless power of faith?"

"Yes, the power of faith gathered is very deadly, and every trace of faith power gathered is tantamount to a heavy blow to me, but the funny thing is that I can't do without it, because I must rely on the power of faith to maintain the broken godhead, otherwise once the godhead dissipates, the overflowing divine power will completely destroy my existence. ”

"On how to replace the entire energy system for the illuminated crystal lamp in an environment that needs to be illuminated by crystal lamps. Xiu'er's face was expressionless, this was a worldwide problem, "So even the dragons are downplaying their faith in you?"

"Well, the dragons' belief in me is actually still there, and it's just as religious, but it's not so fanatical anymore, and there are no longer so many rituals, so that the supply of faith power can be suppressed to a minimum, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold on to it now. "But it's almost impossible to hold on, for every day has been a great test for me for thousands of years, and even though I have been recovering from sleep most of the time, my will has become exhausted, and I can hardly restrain my will." And, even though I'm well closed, the divine power is still affecting my body, so that my body has to keep itself in a state of self-repair all the time, which leads to rapid aging, but thousands of years have passed, and it seems like hundreds of thousands of years have passed for my body, as you can see, my body is about to lose its hold. ”

"Wait, I have a question. Shuer suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Is the war between you and the gods still going on?"

"Of course not, the war is over, the actual end is before the beginning of the Age of Chaos, and the signing of a formal agreement is at the end of the Age of Chaos. Segris asked, confused, "Is there a problem?"

"Well, since the war has ended, why do you continue to maintain this status, since you have signed a formal treaty, I think that with your experience of being cheated once, there should be no more loopholes, and you don't have to worry about the safety of the Wild Land, so who are you still deterring?" So I really can't understand why you don't restore your identity as a dragon god. ”

"yes, why?" said Segris with a deep sigh, "because I can't go back." ”

"Huh?"

Before, Shuer had quite admired Segris, he had courage, brains, and decisiveness enough, worthy of being the head of the previous generation of dragons who dared to challenge the gods with his mortal body, and could single-handedly cause the end of the pioneering era, his every move was just right, and in the end his body couldn't hold on, but there had never been a similar precedent, he had to blindly grope, and it was inevitable that there would be reasons for deviations, which could not be regarded as his mistake.

In Shuer's view, a person who can make such an accurate and decisive decision cannot really completely cut off the retreat and make a desperate bet, maybe because of the situation, he will have to die, but at least when making a plan, he will definitely leave a way out for himself. Therefore, Segres's answer was beyond his expectations, and even in his head, he blinked blankly, and did not react for a moment.

"I still underestimate the gods, heh, I am obviously a god, but I still underestimate the gods. Segris shook his head helplessly, "I did plan before, after the problem is solved, I will use the faith of the dragon clan and the giant beasts to revisit the path of promotion and regain the authority of the gods." Indeed, for all creatures, the process of promoting gods is actually quite dangerous, and even if everything is prepared, the probability of success is only five percent at most, and going through the path of promotion again is tantamount to betting on the five percent chance again. But I'm an exception, I have divinity in my own right, and there's a more important reason that I've been on this path in the opposite direction, and I know it very well, and if I take it, I'm sure I'll be 100 percent successful. ”

Shure didn't interrupt Segris, but his pupils constricted slightly, he already knew why a certain god who liked to jump and eat grass wanted him to come to cooperate with the dragons, and let him know these secrets.

"But, as you just teased, how to replace the entire energy system for the illuminated Crystal Lamp in an environment that needs to be illuminated by the Crystal Lamp. ”

"Huh?" said Shuer, muttering, "is it because he wants to suppress his will and strength?"

"You can say that, but it's also the opposite that I came back to my own body. "It is impossible for one god to give authority to two different dragon gods at the same time, nor to unite two godheads. ”

"Hey, I see. Shul took a deep breath. It's really a hell of a trouble, if you want to regain the path of promotion and regain your divine power, you must first completely dissipate the original broken godhead, so that the laws of the world can successfully shape a new godhead with the will of Segris and let him return to the throne of the dragon god. However, the Godhead is the vehicle of his will to hide and suppress his own power, once the Godhead is dissipated......

"Well, the moment it dissipates, I will be completely destroyed from my will to my body, simply put, I will be blown up by my own strength. Segris lay back on the ground and said in a muffled voice, "So I need to find a way to temporarily act as a godhead and dissipate it, so I say your metaphor is too accurate." ”

"In fact, there is still a way, as long as the requirements are not so strict, it is not an unsolvable problem. ”

"Yes, I know there is a way. "I didn't expect Segris to be surprised at all, "When you change the energy source, it would be nice to use other crystal lamps to illuminate it temporarily, right?" ”

"Yes, no one has stipulated that there is only this one crystal lamp that illuminates it. Shure squinted his eyes and whispered, "Wouldn't it be nice to ask some god you trust to help you suppress it for a while." ”

"Unfortunately, it's not feasible. Segris sighed, "You should understand that gods and spirits cannot help each other for no reason. ”
