The old fox is not a mediocre hand, but it is also a powerful demonic beast that can be worshiped as a god by the tribe for many years, and its power should not be underestimated.

And the old ghost is indeed seriously injured now, his strength is far less than before, and there is a Granty behind him.

If he dared to deal with the old fox with all his strength and didn't pay attention to it, Grant would probably take the opportunity to stab him in the back with a sword.

But if you keep an eye out for Grant behind you...... In this way, it is impossible for him, who cannot concentrate, to easily defeat or suppress the old fox.

If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.

While the old man was struggling desperately, on the other side, Ariana had finished casting her spell and had set up defenses around her, ready to go.

"Then please protect you. Romana bowed his hand to Ariana, and then he sat down cross-legged and stretched out his right hand, which pressed the tip of his finger to Pelodiana's forehead.

With a flash of inspiration, he had no resistance to the power of the Goddess of Cleansing, or Aya, and his consciousness immediately rushed into Pelodiana's mind with a force.

And with him is Aya's will.

Although I have occasionally experienced the loss of consciousness or even the soul out of my body in the past, entering the brains of others, or the sea of knowledge, is still a fresh feeling that Luo Ming experienced for the first time.

However, with Aya's familiar road to lead the way, there is no need to worry about any problems due to lack of experience.

The two of them turned into two figures shrouded in light and appeared in a dark room.

The dark and cold aura seemed to be approaching from all directions, bottomless, eroding and engulfing people.

But Luo Ming's body emitted a red light, like a flame that illuminated the surroundings, easily holding out a large piece of light in the darkness.

And Aya's body was also shrouded in red light, although it was a little lighter than Luo Ming's, but a little orange like a fingernail could be faintly seen in the core of her body, making it impossible for the darkness to approach her three feet around her at all.

It was as if the darkness was fearing her and retreating.

Feeling Luo Ming's curious emotions, before he could open his mouth to ask, Aya spoke: "You see, these darkness are actually a manifestation of her self-protection mechanism - no one will let others intrude into the spirit casually. If ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts want to possess a living person, they will only be burned by the blood of the living or melted by the powerful soul of the living person.

My demigod power was basically not brought in, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.

But this hint of orange is already a power that only a legendary powerhouse can have—far more than the power of her defense mechanism. Instinctively, they didn't dare to fight me.

The instincts of the body are clear - if she is awake now, if she has to fight me, even if she mobilizes all her strength, it is unlikely that she will defeat me, but will make her suffer herself. ”

She turned, and the darkness receded at a faster pace, as if avoiding her gaze.

"As for the red light around you, it is not only your own strength, but also the power of the people under your rule.

In their hearts, you are a great hero, who is passed on by word of mouth and even bragged about to outsiders. And when they pray, they will pray for good luck and health for you while praying for their own happiness.

Whenever they do something, they will fear your punishment and expect your reward. When educating the next generation, it is not about learning from you, but about making him a great person to serve you, the lord. ”

Aya gently removed a bit of red light from Luo Ming's body, and gently rubbed her fingers to spread it out. Luo Ming could hear several voices of awe or affection, all of whom mentioned his name invariably.

She said in a melancholy tone: "As a human master, you will be protected like this—strictly speaking, it is also a kind of power of faith, but it is difficult for the human master himself to use it, and he can only protect himself instinctively.

I think that at the beginning, I watched with my own eyes the founder of a glorious empire, and around him, the love, fear, and reverence of millions of people were mixed together, shining with blue and gold light. Even the gods could not make him obey orders at will, or impose sanctions on him directly, how powerful and brilliant it was.

Naturally, however, the gods would not tolerate the existence of such forces on the earth, confronting them – the empire was plagued by natural disasters, famines, and pestilences, followed by peasant revolts everywhere, and the proclamation of independence by feudal officials...... The unrest lasted for two decades.

The Emperor died of exhaustion and blood at the center of his worries, when he had only one-tenth of the territory he could control.

By the time his soul had fallen into the lower realms, the brilliance had dimmed considerably, and the gods had joined forces to divide it. ”

Luo Ming's face became solemn, he knew that Aya said that this matter was definitely not as simple as telling a story on a whim, but to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Aya continued as she walked: "Originally, the centralization of the empire did a good job, even after it was divided, the countries and regions that were divided were relatively centralized.

But they all wanted to unify the empire and become the new emperor, so they began to attack each other in rounds - gradually exhausted in the war, it was difficult to pay the military salaries and rewards, and finally they had to divide the land to the soldiers, so that they had the power to collect taxes and levy troops in those territories.

Originally, the system was only for life. But the royal power is declining more and more, how can the local forces be willing to casually hand over the benefits they have already obtained?

Later, the kings had to admit that the land of these people could be passed on to their children, and then it became a private property that could be hereditary from generation to generation. Those people became the family of so many nobles, large and small, as they are today. ”

As he spoke, Aya suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked into Luo Ming's eyes: "So, what good is it for the gods to promote such a form?"

"Easy to rule...... Luo Ming immediately figured out the trickiness of this, and couldn't help but sneer.

"The unification of the great empire is too strong, and the strength of tens of millions of people is enough to compete with the gods in the sky, so it will be blacked out by the gods, causing turmoil, weakness, or falling apart. Even a kingdom, if highly centralized, can gather power that is not afraid of a single god.

Thus, weakening and dividing the empire. Then weaken the kingdom and distribute the king's power to thousands of nobles, then the king will become weaker, and the individual nobles will be weaker, and there is no possibility of confronting the gods, so they can only bow down to the gods.

Even if another empire is born, the feudal system has formed an inertia, and most of the land in the empire will still be divided by thousands of nobles, and the power of the empire itself is insufficient, and it is still difficult to resist the will of the gods. ”
