Lu Xihua took out new wooden blocks and stood them on the table in a staggered manner, six wooden blocks that were not connected to each other, but like a ring, encircling the entire wooden stake from far and near.

"The six elemental planes sanitize the main material plane and do not communicate with the main matter plane, and there is no communication channel between the six elemental planes, they are independent. They only have certain elemental and energy properties inside, suppressing other elements. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xihua shot at the three pieces of paper representing the etheric realm, the astral plane, and the shadow plane, and suddenly, the three pieces of paper immediately turned into three colored bands of light and spread out.

Bands of white-black light representing the ether and shadows tightly surround the main material plane, and have no contact with the six elements. However, the cyan light ribbon representing the astral plane is extremely diffused, not only wrapping the ether and shadows and the main material plane, but also enveloping the six major elemental planes, and expanding a lot to the outside of the elemental plane.

Seeing this situation, Liu Zhenzhen immediately understood, "Xihua, you mean, the creatures of the six elemental planes don't have the concept of dreams and shadows at all?"

Lu Xihua nodded, "Not bad." ”

Elder Andulan spoke, "No wonder elemental beings are immune to almost all mind control and curse magic, since they are not affected by the Aether Realm and the Shadow Plane, and are only connected to the Astral Realm, then space magic can come in handy." ”

"The astral realm is full of models, does it mean that you can reach any plane you want to go to through the astral plane?" asked Liu Zhenzhen.

"Yes, legend has it that there is one of the most mysterious places in the astral plane, called the City of Seals, which is a huge ring floating in the void, known as the center of all planes, and a city of ten thousand gates with portals that can lead to any plane. It is said that the owner of the Seal City is a mysterious Lady of Pain. Lu Xihua said mysteriously, and the content of the topic aroused great interest among the two.

"Where is the Seal City, and who is the Lady of Pain?"

"How do I know? It's all said to be a legend~ It's good to know the name~" Lu Xihua replied very irresponsibly.

"As for the kingdom of the gods, they are hidden in the outermost layer. As Lu Xihua's words fell, among the cyan light bands representing the astral realm outside the six elemental planes, countless bright spots lit up, some large and some small, some bright and some dark, colorful, like pearls sprinkled in the river.

"This is how I have spied out the structural relationship between your gods and your world as a whole, but it is only my words, and I may only see a small part of it, which is very one-sided. ”

Elder Andulan had lived for more than 5,000 years, and for the first time heard a complete description of the relationship between the gods, the kingdom of God, the planes, and the world, he sighed, "An unknown number of gods and countless planes. Then, the influence of the gods does not affect every world, and our world is only watched by a small group of gods, and all this makes sense. ”

"Xihua, is your farm theory based on this model? Gods of different god systems are also competing for the right to spread beliefs in the plane?Can powerful gods spread beliefs in more planes?" asked Liu Zhenzhen.

"First of all, it is important to find out whether the divine power of the gods comes from oneself or from faith. ”

"It should be yourself, through self-training, continuous accumulation, and condensation of divine power. Lao Liu said uncertainly.

"But why are they so obsessed with spreading the faith?" Andulan denied Liu.

After a brief pause, "Actually, you're all right, in fact, I guess that God is not eternal, and it is highly likely that they have undergone a change, and the latter and the former are not in the same era. ”

"Huh?!"

"The former, reluctantly call them the ancient gods, these ancient gods are naturally generated creatures when the plane world was born, and they are born with incomparably powerful powers, and finally become gods for various reasons. I don't know why this group of powerful people disappeared for some reason. This is why there are later gods, who rely on collecting faith to condense divine power, and the more beliefs, the stronger the divine power. ”

"What is the reason?"

"Who knows? I'm not an old god. But the difference between the new gods and the ancient gods is that the new gods rely on faith to create a kingdom of gods to support believers, they are pure spiritual bodies, once the believers' faith collapses, or the number of believers is greatly reduced, their divine power will drop significantly, and even fall to the god's position. The Old Gods are different, they are strong in their own right, and they don't care about believers at all, but they also have shortcomings. As long as the faith of the new gods is immortal, they can still have a chance to be reborn, but the ancient gods are the only ones who have a complete physical body, and if they die, they are really dead. This is also the reason why I suspect that the Old Gods may have suffered an unprecedented and terrifying war, in which the vast majority of the Old Gods fell, which led to the rise of the New Gods. In view of the tragedy of the Old Gods, the New Gods chose the path of becoming gods by faith because they could be resurrected. ”

"Doesn't that mean that the new gods have evolved compared to the old gods?"

No, quite the opposite, the new gods are degenerate, and they are not free. ”

"How so?"

"First of all, as I said earlier, the new gods are purely spiritual beings, and they are conditioned by the environment of their plane, especially in their own kingdom and that of their opponents. The ability of the deity will be strengthened in the plane that suits him, and in the plane that does not suit him, his ability will be suppressed. Some gods who are not strong can only hide in their own kingdom all day long, and remotely control the believers in the world to preach by sending oracles. ”

"Remember, the kingdom of God is not a chariot, it is almost an immovable fortress. This leads to the fact that once you become a new god, you can only stay in a turtle shell obediently like a model for the sake of faith, and once you leave the kingdom of God, you have to risk falling. ”

"This..."Andulan and Liu Zhenzhen couldn't refute it, because they didn't have this concept beforehand, and they didn't know much about the gods, only the names and functions of some gods, and the rest, just follow the fate.

"As for why it's a farm, it's because I've discovered a key to becoming a god for a new god, and without this thing, no matter how powerful you are, you can't become a god. ”

"What's that?"

If a mortal creature wants to become a god, he must find ways to obtain the divine fire, and without the divine fire, there is no way to transform the power of faith into his own divine power, how can he become a god? Whether the source of the divine fire is a natural spirit creature or made by an ancient god is no longer known. But nowadays, there are only two ways to obtain the Divine Fire: either you are a faithful believer in a powerful new god, and he takes a fancy to him, and he gives you the divine fire, and you collect faith, upgrade the divine fire to godhead, and finally condense the divine throne into a god, and go to the pantheon to become one of the new gods, or you seek to create a great opportunity to kill a certain god and seize his power, which is commonly known as killing gods. ”

"How is that possible? Didn't you just say that the gods almost all stay in their own kingdom and can't come out to prevent them from falling? Moreover, they can't enter the main material plane at all, so they can only use oracles or descend their clones, even if they kill their clones, it's useless. Do you need to go to the kingdom of God? But it is the main battlefield of the gods, the place where the gods and the gods are at war, how can the mortal beings have a chance to sneak in, even if they can sneak in, there is no chance to kill the gods~" Elder Andulan retorted.

"Actually, there are three forms of gods, the ontology, the incarnation, and the sage. The essence is the god itself, and if you kill him, the god will die. And the incarnation is the main means for the gods to enter the main material plane, which is divided into combat incarnation and ordinary incarnation, which is said. ”

Lu Xihua gushed endlessly, and the other two listened to it with relish, about the secrets of the gods, whether the mortal beings hated or loved them, they were interested in it after all.

"The battle avatar is the strongest form of direct interference of the gods in the material world, and it is the best combat weapon condensed in accordance with the rules of the current world, and it almost represents the top combat power of the world, and it can be said that it is the best representative of the divine power of the god in that world. For example, the way I am now. ”

Lu Xihua's words reminded Liu Zhenzhen of the white giant ape more than ten meters tall, with a white head and bare feet, a pair of green eyes, and the strongest combat power in his hand, Yun Qin Jinren, couldn't make a move under his hands, and what was even more terrifying was that he could also instantly control the realm. It seems that whether it is fighting alone or in a group, it is fierce and abnormal, and it is simply invincible.

Sure enough, it is the highest combat power that represents divine power.

"Can every god condense and fight incarnate and walk casually on the material plane?" asked Liu Zhenzhen.

"No way, that's going to be a huge cost. I estimate that at least one hundred to two hundred devout disciples who have reached a certain standard, and at the same time give up one-tenth of their total lifespan in exchange for this opportunity, the stronger the magic of the world, the more they need to worship. This standard, I guess, may be magic or combat power, and it needs to be equivalent to the level of a mid-level or high-level magician. ”

"Then why don't you have to go to such trouble and just come over?"

"I'm different from them, I'm the Eastern system, they're the Western system, do you understand?" Lu Xihua said this, winking at Liu Zhenzhen, "This is my temporary secret. ”

Lao Liu suddenly remembered that Lu Xihua was not a so-called Western deity, he was an immortal cultivator, and he was looking for the coveted immortal in the Eastern cultivation system, so he didn't apply this rule, or maybe the Eastern Xianxia system could perfectly solve this problem.

Elder Andulan wanted to ask something, but immediately found that the question about Lu Xihua's origin seemed to be a secret between Richard and Master Lu, and the current situation was not suitable for asking at all, so he forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

"In addition to the battle incarnation that needs to pay a great price, there is also an ordinary incarnation, this incarnation form, only a physical body that can contain the divine power of the gods is enough, because at this time, the gods are not here to fight, there may be other things to do, and there is no need to consume the lives of believers. After all, believers are their most valuable resource, and middle and high-level magicians are very important fighting forces wherever they are placed. ”

"Yes, even the most capable human race, plus magic apprentices, the number of magicians in the entire world does not exceed a thousand, and there is not one out of a million, it is really too rare. ”

"The role of ordinary incarnations is generally to perform miracles, to expand or recruit new believers, and has nothing to do with combat. For the gods, believers and their own interests are closely linked. The gods exist by faith and are strong by faith, and powerful gods give believers greater power so that they can better expand the power of the church and strengthen their faith. It is a symbiotic relationship, and if the gods do not take good care of the believers, it will be a lose-lose situation. ”

Both Liu Zhenzhen and Andulan agreed.

"Finally, the Sage, this is a very special form, it is similar to the incarnation, but the biggest difference is that if the Sage is killed, then the corresponding god will also die, because it has the divine fire on its body, it is actually the material form of the god itself! At this time, a mortal creature kills the Sage, and obtains the divine fire, from which he obtains the priesthood he is interested in, collects and accumulates faith, and embarks on a new path to godhood. ”

"Why would the gods have taken such a risky way to put themselves in such an unsafe position?" asked Elder Anrando.

"Because of the war of the gods, or because of calamities, when the number of gods reaches a certain number, there are many contradictions between them, or because there are other reasons in the divine realm, which causes all the kingdoms of gods to be unstable. If, at this time, the gods still insist on staying in the divine kingdom of the god realm, then the result waiting for these gods is to fall completely. It is better to incarnate as a saint, walk on the material plane, survive the divine war or catastrophe, and wait for the day when you return to the divine realm. ”

"Hahahaha, I'm afraid this time is the paradise of careerists. Liu Zhenzhen smiled.

"Yes, the gods and spirits are scheming with each other, and in order to obtain the godhead that they have long admired, they either act alone or conspire together to hunt down one or more saints. And the mortal beings who learned of this situation also had the intention of killing one or two gods in order to obtain their divine fire so that they could become gods. The end result is ~"

"The world is in turmoil, there are wars everywhere, and other ordinary beings in the mortal world bear undeserved consequences for these ambitions. Liu Zhenzhen said coldly, he had seen countless wars from Lu Xihua's description just now, none of them were just, there were conspiracies and tricks everywhere, and there were lies and deception everywhere.

"Not many living beings can resist this temptation, but I believe that there must be some race that will step up to protect these Sages. Elder Andulan's cloudy eyes shone with wisdom.

"Yes, some Sages who are unwilling to go to war, but who are bent on dragging out the Divine Tribulation or Divine War, will seek refuge in the secret places that the believers of the physical plane have long built for them, or seek refuge in races with excellent connections. The virtuous race will step up to protect the gods who have lost most of their power. In return, when these gods escape the catastrophe and return to the divine realm, they will send their blessings and attention to these races that have helped them, so that these races will gain more characteristics and become high-level beings, as the reserve of their followers or the elect of the kingdom of God. ”

"Xihua, the divine tribulation you are talking about, does it not contain all the gods, does the evil god count?

Lu Xihua nodded, "The evil gods act differently, in this time of life and death, they descend to the material plane in order to harvest believers and living beings. These believers and congregants who once believed in them were nothing more than spare food at a critical moment in their eyes. They will not hesitate to absorb the souls and power of these creatures, strengthen themselves, and destroy the target they have long fancied in this sage disaster. Of course, it is not excluded that some neutral or orderly gods will also induce believers to voluntarily sacrifice their lives. ”

"It's really a farce~" Liu Zhenzhen smiled contemptuously.

"Can you resist the temptation to become a god? Can you, and can your subordinates?" asked Lu Xihua.

Liu Zhenzhen suddenly smiled bitterly, "No, it's best to take the initiative in your own hands, it's just a joke to hand over your life to an unknown stranger, I understand what you mean." ”

"It seems that the relationship between the gods and the world is about the relationship between the shepherds and the pastures, and in times of peace, we are considered the wealth in their hands, and naturally we look very closely and do not want to waste it. And in extraordinary times, we are their food, which we use to harvest and tide over difficulties. Elder Andulan let out a long sigh, and after hearing so much, he finally understood the relationship between the gods, the kingdom, the powers, and the faith, the believers, and the world.

The world in which the Aegean continent is located seems to be a dispensable wilderness, and there is no complete doctrine of faith handed down at all, and when necessary, I am afraid that one or two evil gods will really come to collect these ownerless cattle and sheep.

"Master Lu, may I ask whether there were gods or beings first? I have always been puzzled by this question. ”

"For the entire main material plane, it must be that there are living beings before there are gods, but for a single world, it may be that there are gods before there are living beings. ”

"Xihua, what is the purpose of your coming to the Aegean Continent?" Liu Zhenzhen finally couldn't help but ask this question. After listening to so many secrets, Lao Liu felt that this mysterious immortal cultivator named Lu Xihua probably didn't come here by accident, he must have his own purpose, he gave a lot to Fei Lengcui and himself, and Lao Liu was afraid that he couldn't afford to pay the price of these things.

Lu Xihua's expression became solemn, and he raised his hand, "Elder, what I say next, you can understand as much as you can, don't ask me questions, this is a conversation between me and Richard." "He plans to use Huaxia to communicate with Liu Zhenzhen, if he doesn't understand, that's your business, but he can't use the sound transmission, not to mention Andulan.

Hearing this, Elder Andulan's heart jumped suddenly, could it be said that this is a communication between gods and spirits, involving the secret of becoming a god? Richard also has a chance to become a god? A trace of struggle passed through his heart, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, with a trace of awe on his face, Elder Andulan nodded, "I'm old, and my body is a little overwhelmed by receiving so much news at once, go out first to breathe, take a rest, Richard, Master Lu, you continue." ”

Liu Zhenzhen looked a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it slightly, he agreed, as a lord, the supreme leader of Fei Lengcui, he naturally has the right to master the top secret, "Dad, you go to Ning Yu and ask her to show you the Blastoise and the Kamikaze, and we'll talk about it later." ”

Elder Andulan smiled and said, "I'm old, but my heart is not old, and I feel curious about everything, so I'll go and see what good things you have made for your family." With that, the man passed through the blue curtain of light and disappeared at the door of the cave.

Only Lao Liu and Lu Xihua were left in the conference room, and the conversation was naturally changed to Huaxia.

Liu Zhenzhen half lay on the back of the chair, took several deep puffs of cigars, and exhaled in his last breath, "Let's talk about any other exciting information." ”

Lu Xihua smiled, "Can't bear it?" Okay, I'll tell you a good news, you should really listen to what I said just now." ”

Liu Zhenzhen was dumbfounded, "The co-authorship is all fake?"

"Half-truths. ”

"How?"

"What I said just now only applies to Western gods, and it doesn't work with my Eastern gods, what are you worried about?"

"That's fake, what is it?"

"It's really... Our eastern immortals have also fallen in a huge catastrophe, and now is the era of the heroes, everyone has a chance to become immortals, I want you to help me!"

"Ah?!" Liu Zhenzhen was stunned when he heard this.
