But at that moment, the gods in both camps, who were deep in their respective hiding places, all sensed a strange force suddenly appeared. It was an inexplicable power they had never seen before, it didn't seem to belong to this world at all, chasing its source, this strange power came from a barren land on the edge of the endless sea, far away from their two territories, shrouded in gray haze all year round.

At that time, although the two camps claimed to have completely ruled the entire continent, the endless sea around the continent was beyond their reach, because in the depths of that mysterious ocean, there were some taboo existences, even the strong people who were as strong as the main god level were extremely jealous and did not dare to provoke.

Therefore, for the barren area next to the Endless Sea, it has always been a borderland that neither of the two camps is interested in exploring.

However, the strange power that suddenly appeared attracted almost all the god-level powerhouses in the two camps to this lifeless wasteland for a while.

It was an inexplicable force mixed with a furious and rich aura of death, a cold and evil power that made even the dark demons who loved darkness and disorder feel a heartfelt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

In order to explore the source of this evil power, the gods of the Protoss and the Demon Race temporarily put aside the long-standing contradictions and hatreds, and worked together for a rare time.

Together, they dispelled the gray haze that had been hanging over the desert for an unknown amount of time, removing the thick rock formations that were as hard as iron on the ground, and finally, beneath the deep rocks, a huge magic array was revealed.

Even the most knowledgeable ancient gods were helpless against the huge and complex magic array, because the mysterious patterns and words that made up the magic array were something they had never heard of. Even the materials used to build the magic array were something they had never seen before.

After careful research and argumentation by countless formation masters in the two camps who were proficient in the construction of magic arrays, they finally came to a conclusion that the mysterious and complicated huge magic array probably, probably, should be a magic array used for sealing that they had never seen before, and the strength of the magic array surpassed their cognition. However, no one knows who established this sealing circle, when it was established, and why it was established, but it can be inferred from the nearby items and traces that this magic circle should have existed here long before the Dawn Protoss and the Chaos Demon Clan appeared on this continent.

This inference also subverted everyone's cognition, how is this possible? Because it is well known that the Dawn Protoss and the Chaos Demon Race are the earliest races that were bred at the beginning of the formation of this world, so who established this magic array? Could it be that it existed before the birth of the world? This also makes no sense, and the gods found that the energy of this magic array was so strong that even if they gathered all their divine power at the beginning of its establishment, it could not be shaken. But as the years passed, the power of this magic circle gradually faded, but the composition principle of the magic circle and the mystery contained in it were still incomprehensible to them.

As to how to deal with this sealing magic array, the gods of the two camps also had obvious differences. Some of the gods believe that it should be an unknown existence used to seal some terrible things, and it is best not to touch it at will, but to strengthen it and send people to guard it to prevent accidents. However, most of the gods believe that they should take advantage of the weakening power of the seal and work together to open the seal to see what kind of secrets are hidden here, and maybe they can gain more power or find some hidden secrets in this world.

Curiosity can kill a cat or a group of gods.

Eventually, the majority prevailed over the opposition, and the gods of both camps forgot about the strife and estrangement in that moment, and worked together to break the weakest corner of the seal. At the moment when the sealing magic array was broken, a strong violent energy filled with a rich aura of death gushed out, and a deep passage appeared in the center of the magic circle.

Looking at the passage that suddenly appeared and the gray mist that gushed out from it with strange powers, all the gods suddenly showed a cautious attitude. Because they all felt the strange power of death and decay contained in this gray mist, which seemed to be able to corrupt their spirits.

So, after a series of silent exchanges, the two sides reached an agreement, that is, each sent two gods to lead a team of subordinates into the passage to find out. However, among the explorers composed of hundreds of strong men, only one of the gods known for his speed in the Dawn camp escaped with a broken body, and everything else was swallowed up by the world inside this strange entrance.

The gods hurriedly joined forces to reseal the broken corner of the magic array, and the strange passage that shimmered with a light red light disappeared immediately, but everyone present sensed at that moment that it seemed that on the side of the magic array, a breath that was so powerful that it made them desperate faintly came that there seemed to be a sleeping and suffocating forbidden existence, which was slowly waking up.

The god who escaped by luck also suffered a heavy blow, not only the body, but even the divine soul was corrupted by the power of death, and even after this corrosion was far away from that strange space, it was still like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it continued to slowly corrode and invade the body and soul of that god, and it could not be expelled.

This was a situation that frightened the gods, and according to Alex's further explanation, everyone knew the seriousness of it.

Again, the secrets of the gods are involved.

According to Alex's explanation, the so-called gods actually refer to those who have broken through the inherent rules and limitations of this world and reached a height of almost omnipotence in this world. In other words, the original birth, old age, sickness and death, hunger, cold and pain will no longer bother them in the slightest.

But the reason for this is that once they reach the critical point of entering the god realm, those powerhouses in the demigod realm will face a life-and-death choice, that is, a breakthrough.

A thought of life and death. If you can successfully break through that level, then you will be among the strongest people on this continent, with a near-immortal life and a power as great as a mountain and water with a wave of your hand. But if it fails, it will be gone, and there will be no return.

This kind of breakthrough is also known as igniting the divine fire, transforming the long-accumulated power in the body into the divine flame that refines the body, incinerating and refining the original ** mortal body. If one can maintain the emptiness of the spirit and soul in the process of extremely painful refining and sublimate it with comprehension, then one will eventually be able to successfully refine a new divine body composed entirely of the purest energy, and thus successfully become a god. But this process is extremely dangerous and painful, only those who are the most determined and have the strongest comprehension can calmly comprehend and sublimate in that crushing pain, so as to promote the gods, but from ancient times to the present, this kind of strong creatures that can finally succeed in breaking through, there is not one in ten, most of them are lost in the blazing divine fire, and finally disappear and dissipate without a trace.

But if it succeeds, it will be a radical change from what it used to be. The body composed purely of energy will no longer be bound by the so-called rules, and it will go to heaven and earth, thousands of miles in an instant, without fear of the damage caused by ordinary forces, and nothing on this continent can stop it.

Moreover, each deity possesses a new and incomparably powerful ability, and that is the realm.

The so-called realm refers to the expansion of the energy that constructs the body, enveloping the surrounding space in one's own divine power, forcibly expelling the original inherent rules, and replacing them with new rules of one's own will.

Of course, the strength of this ability depends on the caster's own ability, but if the creatures below the god realm fall into it, then they will be like marionettes, controlled by the caster, and will have no autonomous ability at all, and will eventually become puppets.

A body made purely of energy has the added benefit of not being harmed by ordinary weapons or objects. It's like holding a sharp sword or a heavy warhammer against rising flames or thick smoke, and no amount of wielding it can hurt it. Even if you are traumatized, as long as your soul remains, even if there is only a trace of wreckage left, you can recover it after slowly recovering.

This is also the fundamental reason for the immortality of the gods. Because the body is originally constructed of energy, almost all gods will choose to create a clone, and a part of the soul will be separated and moved in with a secret method, as a hole card to save life, even if the body has completely fallen, then it will be reborn in the sleeping clone hidden in the secret place.

"The flame of the gods not only burned the ** of the gods, but also took away their original inherent emotions. Therefore, putting aside all the distractions that may affect your determination to pursue ultimate strength is a basic condition for being able to successfully become a god. It is said that the gods are merciful and loving, and that God has mercy on the world...... Hehe, but I don't know, in fact, the gods are a group of beings without any emotion. All their goals are the same, and that is to constantly seek to make themselves stronger, and those manifestations that are revealed are only the continuation of the habits of the past as an inertia. ”

Ite will never forget the hint of sarcasm and deep sadness with which Alex whispered these words. But then he was immersed in Alex's continued narration.

But that time was completely unexpected by the gods, for they found that the god who had fled back, though only a servant god, had been wounded beyond the gods had expected.

Speaking of which, Alex gave a detailed introduction to the hierarchy of the gods.

Although they are all gods, there are also strong and weak levels. Those gods who have just entered the god realm, that is, the junior gods, are called servant gods, because they have only mastered some of the power of the rules, and they cannot fully grasp and use them freely. When as time passes, slowly, these junior gods become more familiar with the power of certain rules that they have mastered and can use them freely, then they have the opportunity to fully understand the basic essence of this power of rules, so as to truly master and control this power, then they will enter a higher stage, at this time, they are called slaves. Once you have fully mastered a certain rule, you will go further on this basis, and use the existing rules as a basis to create a new kind of derivative rule, and be able to be recognized by the original world without being excluded, then, congratulations, you will be one of the top controllers on this continent, and of course, your title will also change, and you will be honored as the Lord God.

Servant God, Servant God, and Lord God, this is the hierarchy of gods. Even in the most glorious thing where the gods coexisted, all the main gods of the two camps added up to only eighteen, among which the thirteen of the Dawn camp, known as the Thirteen God Kings of the Dawn, ruled the thirteen kingdoms of the gods respectively, and all of them were born in the Dawn God Clan without exception. In addition to the three demon gods of chaos who represent chaos, depravity and tyranny respectively from the Chaos Demon Clan, there is also a mysterious demon god with the title of Fallen who has always been out of everyone's sight, and very few creatures have seen his true appearance, even during the Battle of Dusk. It is rumored that he has long since fallen into the depths of the Endless Sea, and was killed by the forbidden beings who live deep in the depths of the ocean while exploring the mysteries of the depths of the Endless Sea, but this is only a legend after all, and no one can confirm it, so until now the existence and whereabouts of this mysterious demon god have been a mystery.

In the end, the origin and ending of this demon god are even more legendary, because he is not a pure Chaos Demon, but a hybrid of a Chaos Demon and a dark elf. This demon god's name is Kyrgyz, and the rules he controls are the power of fire, but this power of flame is different from the ordinary power of fire, but the kind of demonic flame that can burn the soul, so he has a loud name, called the shadow of flames.

He is also the last god of the dark camp to advance to the main god, and was killed by the gods of the Dawn camp in the battle of dusk, although it is a kill, but the strong man who reaches the level of the main god is not completely destroyed as a god of the same level, even if the power of all the main gods of the Dawn camp is only to extract his soul from the god body and seal it, and use the ownerless god body as a source of continuous energy, placed next to the huge sealing magic array, and provided energy for the damaged magic array in the repaired corner.

"And what is above the main god? Since the gods are so powerful that they ignore the rules, haven't they tried to leave this space to explore what is above the sky or in the depths of the earth?

Hearing Alex's story, everyone also had a lot of questions, some of which were even troubled since childhood but no one could answer them, and they were raised one after another.

"Don't worry, these questions will be explained one by one in the future. But one thing can be explained now, that is, the ancient so-called gods are only the names given in our land, and the rules they break free from are only the rules within this space, as you wonder, those gods have also tried to explore the world above the sky and deep underground, but in the end they were surprised to find that in the extreme of the sky and the depths of the earth, there is a completely different power of rules from here, just like an invisible barrier, firmly blocking and enveloping our world, even if they try their best to do so, they can't shake the slightest, they can only return in vain。 ”

"Wouldn't we, then, be living in a cage-like space?"

Little Safent was surprised.

"Who's to say it's not? This world is a cage, but most of the creatures who live in it don't know it. But what if you know it? Even if you escape from this cage, who knows if there will be a bigger cage everywhere you go? In essence, life itself is just a cage. ”
