Banner of the Evil God

Sui Xiong had a very long dream.

In the dream, he traveled to another world and became a big jellyfish. He roamed and practiced in the sea. Later, he went to land and experienced many strange things. He gained powerful strength and accomplished many remarkable careers.

In the end, everything returned to peace. He returned to the sea again, gave up all his strength, did nothing, and just drifted in the sea with the waves, like a plate of ordinary jellyfish.

He felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that nothing was wrong. He just floated in the sea, drifting and drifting, free and easy.

He didn't know how long he drifted. He gradually felt bored again, and some of him wanted to move.

But when he wanted to take action, he suddenly found that he could no longer control his body.

He could still clearly feel his body, the movement of each tentacle, the sea water flowing through his body, and even the sea breeze blowing not far above his head.

But he no longer had any strength, and couldn't even swim like an ordinary jellyfish. He could only lie in the sea, drifting with the current, without any autonomy.

Sui Xiong was shocked and hurried--and then he found that he could do nothing except worry.

He just lay in the sea, drifting with the current, anxious, but helpless.

Gradually, his mood became calm again, just like the empty sea surface, although there were waves, but actually nothing.

It's strange, this ocean is vast, but he doesn't know how long he has been drifting, but he has never seen any living thing except himself.

Could it be... this is the legendary "Dead Sea"?

Maybe, but what does it have to do with him? Even if this is really the legendary "Dead Sea" where people will float on it if they fall into it, and there is no need to worry about drowning, what is the meaning for a jellyfish that originally belongs to salted food?

Anyway, even if it is to be made into a cold jellyfish salad, it is necessary to wash the bubbles first and remove the excess salt.

Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing.

I don't know how long it took, he gradually fell into a daze again, as if he was going to sleep in a dream.

But in the daze, he gradually felt something different.

The sky is not just "the sky", the sea is not just "the sea", the sea breeze is not just "the sea breeze", and even he himself is not just "himself".

There is something hidden behind all this, it is the foundation of everything, and when it is presented in an appropriate way, it is all things in the world.

What is it?

Sui Xiong fell into deep thought.

He first thought of the "Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things" that he had read in the online article. However, he actually didn't understand those, although he could recite a few sentences such as "There is a thing mixed, born before heaven and earth...", and knew that this sentence meant "(Tao) is a whole thing, which appeared earlier than the world...", but those didn't help him.

He couldn't understand that.

"Before heaven and earth were born, everything was created", what kind of concept is it?

Sui Xiong pondered.

He didn't know how long he had been thinking, but suddenly he was shocked and remembered the scene when he was sketching.

A charcoal stick, a piece of drawing paper, whether it was landscapes, or men, women, old and young, all relied on black and white lines and light and dark colors to express, without a little more. But in the hands of professionals like them, they can draw all things in the world, and even give emotions to the scenery, so that the audience can feel the emotions that the painter wants to express in addition to seeing the specific pictures.

For those paintings, aren't paper and pen the things that "before heaven and earth were born, everything was created"?

Then correspond it with what he perceives, what is displayed is the traces left by the charcoal on the paper, and the space for it to be displayed is the blank space on the paper!

Sui Xiong smiled, he finally understood.

Then, he woke up.

The surroundings are all green, and a winding tree that looks like a vine rises high into the sky. The treetops spread out like petals, covering the old but not shabby, but neat and simple temple.

Every tree and stone here exudes the breath of time, and it is obvious that they have experienced the vicissitudes of time. They form a perfect whole with those plants that are not known to have grown in it or transplanted in specially, which looks natural and harmonious, making the whole temple full of harmony and warmth. Being in it, even if there are thousands of sorrows and troubles, you can't help but feel relaxed and cheerful.

The place where Sui Xiong is lying at the moment is the square in the center of the temple. Not far in front of him is the trunk of the big tree. At the bottom of the trunk that is not particularly thick, in the center of the clear spring water, the statue of a girl holding a water-spraying vase seems to be smiling at him.

He couldn't help but smile at the statue, slapping his tentacles, and floating into the air.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Goodness, where are you?" He asked loudly, looking for the green figure everywhere, "What is going on?"

In the fresh air filled with mist, his smiling voice kept echoing.

"Alas, I knew this identity could not be hidden!" An old voice answered with some distress, "Sure enough, it was guessed right away!"

Sui Xiong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few fallen leaves being pushed aside. A frog, the size of a thumb at most, wearing old glasses, was lying on a soft chair, looking at him helplessly.

He couldn't help laughing again, and turned his body, becoming almost the same size as the other person, and landed in front of this wonderful predecessor known as the "Frog Elder".

Back then, his strength was not strong enough, and he had not seen all the wonders in this "Ancient Elf Temple" when he visited it, but now he has become a great divine power. If the Lord of Glory is not considered, even the Lord of Order, who is also a great divine power, may not be stronger than him. At this moment, in his opinion, every brick and stone here exudes the charm of "goodness", and the whole temple is more integrated. In terms of structure, it is exactly the same as the treasure of the Lord of Supreme Goodness that he had seen at the Chaos Dragon. Even the charm is more exquisite and smooth, and it is probably a work after that.

Who else can make this, live in it, and become its master except the Lord of Supreme Goodness?

Not to mention, the statue of the girl in the spring water is not a shitty statue at all. It is clearly a god whose soul is dissipating, but someone used a heaven-defying method to freeze time and forcibly rescued her. If you look closely, the godhood is still very high, and the power is really strong...

Combining these factors, if Sui Xiong still can't guess the identity of this "frog elder", then he is not a painter, but a legendary e-sports expert with only intuition but no brain - the kind who is said to be able to increase the attack and defense of cockroaches with a slogan.

"Is the one sealed in the spring water the goddess of life?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

The Lord of Goodness, who turned into a frog, nodded and asked back: "Have you successfully comprehended the source of the world and stepped into a realm beyond the camp and rules?"

Sui Xiong was stunned, a little confused, and finally woke up completely.

He was beaten to the point of death by the Lord of Light. In the mental illusion of neither death nor life, he subconsciously followed the teachings of the Lord of Order and gave up all his power. Finally, like the Lord of Light, he found what was hidden behind the "rules" and "attributes", and found and mastered the most fundamental power of this world.

"That's right!" He smiled and replied, "I have comprehended the true 'great divine power'!"

"Then get out quickly." The Lord of Goodness sighed and said, "Although you have only been lying here for three days, the Lord of Light has already sealed my small shelter with a barrier when you were just sent in. I can vaguely feel that the flow of time in the outside world is many times faster than here..."

Sui Xiong was stunned, and then he understood what He meant. His face turned pale, and without saying a word, he turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the temple.

The Lord of Goodness finally took off his vest...
