I Am God!

Deep in the grotto is a huge cave that seems to lead to the center of the earth.

Once upon a time, in very ancient times.

There are also people who want to explore the secrets in the abyss of this huge cave, and you can see that someone has built a staircase.

Possibly Pans, the ancestor of the Court of Serpents.

Nowadays, this staircase is badly worn, and there are even cracks on the edges.

The prophet held on to the stone wall and went down the stairs. She also wanted to know the deeper secret.

The staircase spirals downwards in a continuous loop.

It seems like the end will never be reached.

The further down she went, the colder she felt. It was not the coldness that her body could feel, but the anticipation of danger that froze her soul.

I don’t know how long it will go down.

She stopped.

The road came to an end, but it was still far from the bottom of the cave.

"there is none left?"

"Is it over?"

The stairs came to an abrupt end, and the blind girl stopped moving on the cliff.

In the dark.

She stood at the end of the stairs and looked down.

She stared into the abyss, feeling like something was watching her from below.

What she felt was the darkness that swallowed everything, and what the other party saw were ants staring into the abyss.

She didn't know how deep the cave was, but she only knew that it must be far deeper than she imagined.

If she had her sight intact and was carrying a lamp.

Following the light, she could see the terrifying scene below.

The terrifying gray mist surged in the all-devouring darkness, spreading continuously from the depths of the ground.

Terrifying behemoths were swimming in the gray mist underground. They looked like giant snakes of unimaginable size, but they had no heads and no tails.

This gray mist is discharged from their bodies.

The smallest ones are tens to hundreds of meters long.

For the largest ones, only part of their body shape was revealed in the bottomless gray mist, but that part of the body shape had already filled up the giant hole.

Those demonic insects that were tens to hundreds of meters long seemed a little tiny in front of it.

The blind female prophet probably never thought about it before she came.

At the foot of the mountain of the origin of life, below the royal city.

This is the scene.

But she also felt something, something moving in the air.

"What is it?"

"It seems like something is moving?"

"Coming towards me?"

In the darkness, a huge demon insect family member poked its body out from the darkness and continued to extend upwards.

Other demonic insects also stretched out their bodies and surrounded the edge of the spiral staircase.

Their bodies squirm and undergo various changes.

Some grew antennae, some had mouths, and some had eyes.

Then.

Observing this mortal who broke into the forbidden area of ​​​​the gods.

The Mountain of the Origin of Life itself can be said to be a forbidden place of death. It is also the domain of the Ruch Giant Monster, but this forbidden place is buried deep under the earth and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

These monsters are observing the blind female prophet. Although she failed to become a witch, she has the aura of the giant god Ruhe in her body.

therefore.

These descendants of the Ruch Titan regarded her as one of the same kind.

The prophet also felt them. As the other party approached, she saw extremely powerful and exuberant lights of life lighting up in front of her eyes.

The blind girl was a little excited. Such a powerful rhythm of life had proved something.

At least it proved that she was in the right place.

"who is it?"

"Your rhythm of life is so powerful. I have never seen such powerful and exuberant vitality."

"You should not be mortals. Mortals will not have such power."

"Are you... servants of God?"

The blind prophetess stretched out her hand, and the other person lowered his head.

She touched a large, indescribable eye.

In the dark.

A snake woman without eyes was surrounded by a group of monsters from a long time ago. One of the monsters opened its huge eyes and allowed the other monster to touch it.

This is such a terrifying sight that ordinary people would be frightened crazy in an instant.

These monsters are the descendants of the Demigod of Life Power, the Ruh Troll Earth-Drilling Demon Insect.

They can be found by their appearance and the view further below.

This is not a giant cave left by the gods that leads to the ground. This is just an entrance to the surface dug out by these terrible monsters from beneath the ground.

These terrifying monsters move under the earth, digging countless passages and forming a huge underground maze.

The gray fog is their secretion. This gray fog can make rocks stronger, but at the same time, it can also petrify life.

The descendants of these giant monsters will eat a lot of rock formations and become larger and larger; when the reincarnation is approaching, the body that is so huge that it exceeds the limit will turn into a vein of minerals.

The body and the divine blood return to the earth-burrowing demon insect's body and begin the next reincarnation.

Mortals live above ground.

Under the earth, there are lairs of these monsters everywhere.

The seven Luch giant monsters support the Luch giant island, and their dependents also have their own responsibilities and run everything on the Luch giant island.

Just like the water of the Sailor Siren, it continuously flows to all parts of the earth, and the earth-burrowing demon insect and its relatives are responsible for the birth of the mineral veins.

Although the current mortals' exploration of this giant island only exists on the surface.

But God has long been in the dark.

Buried their gifts.

In a sense, the myths and legends are indeed true. This is the land of the gods.

A place blessed by the gods.

The blind female prophet suddenly thought of what Sukob said. The scenes in front of her completely proved that what the other party said was true.

"There are secrets hidden under the earth!"

The blind female prophet looked at the bottom of the giant cave. She knew that under the earth, there was the source of these Rukh's relatives.

That's where the gods are.

"at the bottom!"

"It must be right at the bottom."

"God, that's where he is."

"The god of protection left by the Lord of Life must be there."

She didn't know the name of the god, but she had an idea.

That is to go down and face that god directly.

She is going to ask the other party.

Ask Him to accept the faith and offerings of mortals.

——

Above the wasteland.

Sukob, the leader of the wasteland wizards, lives in a very simple place. Like other people in the wasteland, he lives in a house built on the mountain at the foot of the mountain in his spare time, similar to a cave dwelling.

Through the wooden windows, you can see the town below. Most of them are mud houses, built layer by layer at the foot of the mountain.

There are cultivated fields and canals in the distance.

Sukob lay on his side on the bench, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

A huge door appeared in front of his eyes, with a path to wisdom on it.

The voice of the god echoed in my ears.

"The method of reincarnation is out of date, Sukob."

"You don't have to stick to the methods of the predecessors. Those who come after you will definitely be able to find a stronger and better way."

"Because you stand on the shoulders of those who came before you."

"Go and find what belongs to the witch spirits, what belongs to your era, and what is your own path to becoming a god."

This is what the God of truth and knowledge said to him.

Even though God was telling him, he didn't seem ready.

But finally.

Still gave Sukob the path of wisdom.

The God of Knowledge and Truth is not as rigid as the God of Alchemy. He feels that the path to wisdom is reincarnation and should wait until the end to be used.

He saw early on that if he continued to adhere to the previous method to become a god, it would be impossible for demigods to appear in this era.

Mortals today are different from before. Many demigods have appeared now. What kind of existence demigods are, the road to mythology has been figured out.

Instead of wading stones across the river.

Just like divine grace, the path to wisdom also requires new changes.

But for Sukob, he didn't even understand the magic of shamanism or his own path as an apostle.

to date.

His Book of Witch Spirits is still blank.

Sukob once again looked at the path of wisdom. This mythical secret code was no longer embodied in the inheritance of books and physical objects, but was directly imprinted in Sukob's mind.

Moreover, Sukob could not tell anyone about the contents, and it was even impossible for others to obtain the secret book from his mind, which would surely alarm the God of Truth and Knowledge.

The God of Truth and Knowledge knows best what a terrible thing it would be if such a mythological secret were spread.

Because just cutting off a part of it is the way to make mythical props.

This is enough to illustrate its danger.

"The Mythic Tree, or the Mythical Road."

"The root of spirituality, the trunk of wisdom, the branches of desire, and the leaves of memory!"

"Wisdom comes from this, and civilization comes from this."

"Even gods were born from it."

"What the wizard masters is the power of memory."

"My Book of Witch Spirits is a symbol of the power of memory. How should I use this power? What do I want to accomplish with this power?"

Sukob had been thinking hard.

"What exactly is the power of memory?"

"A carrier of information?"

"Is it text? Is it a picture? Or a sound? Or something else?"

What confused Sukob even more was what the God of Truth said.

"Sukob!"

"What kind of god do you want to be?"

Perhaps it is precisely because of this sentence that Sukob's Book of Witches and Spirits has always been blank.

He felt that when he filled the Book of Witch Spirits, he was not just choosing a certain power.

He also chose his own future and chose the path of becoming a god.

That afternoon.

Sukob received a letter from Pans City, which was delivered through the Rainbow Tree.

The sender was a prophet from the Temple of the Serpents. She told Sukob that she had found the way to the kingdom of gods under his reminder.

She had already started preparing to go to the palace of the gods.

She wanted to make a contract with the gods herself and borrow the gods' protection and power for the Ten Thousand Snakes King's Court.

Sukob stood up and wrote a reply.

"Prophet of the Temple of the Serpents."

"I received your letter. Although there have been speculations earlier, I didn't expect the rumors to be true."

"I still want to remind you that there is such a saying among the Aiweier people."

"God is the sun. Whether you are too close to God or too far away from God, it will bring disaster."

"And recently I investigated the classics left by that time and read a lot of records left by King Sidi."

"The Moon Witch Nia most likely failed. She suffered a backlash from her power, because it is a power that is completely different from our bloodline, the power to dominate life."

"We are a race of intelligent blood. To integrate the power of life power, we must suffer terrible pain and irreparable costs."

"So I still advise you again and again, I hope you can be more cautious."

The main god enshrined in the Temple of Knowledge is the Crown of Wisdom, which can also be said to be the King of Wisdom, Lederiki; coupled with Sukob's current height, he is a preparatory servant chosen by the gods.

Therefore, Sukob is aware of some differences between wisdom power and life power. He knows that they are wisdom species and that their power comes from the wisdom crown.

Although their power comes from the Crown of Wisdom, their life forms are created by the Master of Life.

The power of the crown of wisdom, the conferment of the mother snail of all things.

It is the birth of a species with life and intelligence.

However, he did not know some of the older secrets and could not say more in the letter.

Sukob finished writing his reply, and then read the letter sent to him by the prophet again, when he saw the paragraph about making a contract with the gods.

"Make a contract with the gods!"

"This is really the most extreme thing that a mortal can imagine!"

He was thinking that the prophet would never have thought of it.

His god, the god of truth and knowledge, not only concluded an apostle contract with him, but also hoped that he could become his follower, a new god.

But when he thought of the word contract, Sukob was stunned for a moment.

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

"contract."

"Gods will make contracts with humans, and mortals will also make contracts with mortals. Contracts are formed in words."

"Ordinary words form an invisible force because of the effectiveness of the contract."

"Can a contract also be regarded as a kind of power?"

"If someone can give power to the contract, will this world be given order?"

Sukob even thought of a rumor.

"I heard that the forest fairy can use the power of the dream world to make the contract between the two parties witnessed by the dream world, and finally have the effect of extraordinary power."

"How is this power formed?"

"Can we and mortals also learn from and use it?"

Sukob suddenly stood up, and this sudden flash of inspiration seemed to indicate a way for him.

He quickly called out his student and asked him to send the letter for him, but he returned to the underground palace of the Witch Spirit Organization alone and began to read a large amount of information and information.

the other side.

The Prophet soon received Sukob's letter, and she touched it with her hand and read the words on the page.

The prophet saw the passage where Sukob consulted the classics for himself, and the prophet's face showed some joy.

"Mr. Sukob is a truly kind man."

"Although you left Pance City, you have always been thinking about me and checked on so many things for me."

Although Sukob ultimately declined her invitation, the prophet expressed his understanding.

After all, Sukob had no reason to get involved in the mess that was the King of Ten Thousand Snakes, whether in terms of status or other aspects.

After receiving the news of the failure of Moon Witch Nia from the letter.

Although the prophet felt a little uncomfortable, he still managed to squeeze out a smile.

The blind girl is not only sad because her predecessors did not take the path of becoming a witch, but she is also sad about the ending of the previous witch.

"Is this what it means that God is the sun and cannot be approached?"

The funny thing is that in the end, what the Moon Witch Nia wanted to do succeeded.

Finally, the Aiweier ushered in the future she wanted, a prosperous world.

She felt they were so similar.

They are all eager to borrow the power of gods to protect their country.

But think about it.

If there is nothing you want to protect, who is willing to accept the pain of having your wisdom bloodline stripped away and bear the irreparable price?

The blind girl folded the letter and put it away.

Although Sukob tried to dissuade her, she still wanted to give it a try.

"If we could borrow fire for the world, being melted by the sun would be a good ending."

The leader of the Temple Knights of this generation rushed in from outside and told the prophet something.

"Lord Prophet!"

"Dark Moon is leaving with His Majesty!"

The prophet had already expected it: "He started moving the capital again?"

The leader of the Temple Knights said: "He gave up moving the capital this time, but he said he would restore the dual-capital national policy of hundreds of years ago, but when did that happen?"

"The situation was completely different at that time. The Ten Thousand Snakes Royal Court was just a group of tribes that mixed together and moved around to graze. Now the Ten Thousand Snakes Royal Court is a huge kingdom."

"We have a large number of farming areas in the south, vast tracts of pasture in the north; we have a large number of docks, ports, fleets, and caravans in the west, and there are so many workshops in the central region."

"We no longer have to move around."

"He took Your Majesty to Eclipse City, how could he come back?"

"This is moving the capital."

The prophet looked at the indignant leader of the Temple Knights, but this time he did not object as firmly as the last time.

"Let them leave!"

"We can just stay."

The leader of the Temple Knights was stunned, wondering why the prophet's attitude changed in such a short period of time.

The prophet looked toward the mountain where life originated.

"God has left us shelter."

"He used his methods to build the country he wanted, and I used mine to pray for God's protection."

"If last."

"He can't save this country, so let me do it!"

——

The city of Pans, which had just suffered a disaster, was wailing everywhere, and pain and despair filled the sky above the city.

And at this time.

A rumor has emerged in the city and everyone is talking about it.

"Have you heard? This disaster was caused by the Southerners. They want to destroy us." Many people gathered together on the street.

"All the spies have been caught. I heard that this time they originally wanted to destroy the entire city of Pans and then send troops to fight." Someone also heard about it.

"Fortunately, General Dark Moon reacted quickly and mobilized the Lunar Eclipse Legion. Otherwise, not only the western district of the city, but the entire royal city would have suffered a disaster this time." This person is obviously a supporter of General Dark Moon, even if he was not originally , now too.

"It was the southerners who did it. A lot of caravans from the south came last week, these are the people." said a snake man dressed as a businessman.

"Yes, I saw these people with my own eyes and heard that they were all arrested." Someone agreed.

Opinions vary.

Everyone says they have evidence, everyone says they saw it with their own eyes.

Even if some people didn't believe it at first, they now gradually feel that it is true, and as more people say it, the emotions accumulate and spread faster.

This time, the original wails and sadness were gone.

Everything gradually turned into anger.

Everyone on the street was furious, and some people went directly to the stage to shout.

"Revenge must be made to make them pay the price."

"Those Southerners are no good, I've known that for a long time."

"They have betrayed their faith a long time ago. I heard that when the Suinhor people came, they were going to remove the Mother of Snakes from the temple. What are they going to do?

"I heard that the people in Suinhall didn't mention it. They took the initiative to do this just to draw a clear line with us."

"These traitors, they will be punished!"

Not only that, but another news came that afternoon.

The rebels in the south sent a fleet along the Shepherd's River and attacked Serk Port, an important port of the Court of Serpents.

This is to cut off the source of supplies in Pans City and the core area of ​​the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes, and it also confirms previous rumors.

At this time, the excitement in the entire city of Pans completely exploded.

Thousands of city residents stood up and even surrounded the palace, demanding that the royal court respond.

General Dark Moon did not appear this time, but the deputy general came out.

The deputy general stood in front of the palace and said to everyone: "General Dark Moon is discussing things with the adults, and the meeting is not over yet."

"But everyone knows that this disaster was caused by the collusion between the five southern leaders and the notorious Abyss cultists."

"The spies we caught have proven that all this is a conspiracy by the five southern leaders."

"Not long ago, they announced their separation from the Royal Court and formed a so-called alliance under the control of the city-state people."

"But General Dark Moon said that they will definitely make them pay the price."

The deputy general's words made everyone furious, and the crowd shouted that they would make the Southern City-State Alliance pay a bloody price.

At this time, the deputy general said in time.

"Revenge will definitely happen, but we must be prepared first."

"Because the rebels from the five southern territories attacked Sirk Port and threatened our security."

"In response to the crisis."

"General Darkmoon is preparing to restore another former capital, Eclipse City, and recruit troops to form a new legion, but he will also retain the current capital, Pans City."

"Those who are willing to leave can choose to go to Eclipse City, where everyone is needed to defend the country."

"Those who don't want to leave can also choose to stay in Pans City."

The protests among the people this time were obviously much smaller than the last time.

And a large number of people who were displaced in the disaster were shouting even more.

"Go to Eclipse City!"

"I'll be the first to go. I want to join the new legion."

"Yes, I will follow General Darkmoon and make those southerners pay the price."

On the other side, General Dark Moon and a group of nobles in the administrative hall of the palace were discussing the plan to take the King of Snakes on a southern tour. It could be heard that there was still a lot of opposition.

But hearing the crowd outside getting more and more intense, everyone seemed to be going crazy.

The atmosphere in the government affairs hall gradually changed again.

at last.

Everyone unanimously approved General Darkmoon's proposal.

General Dark Moon did not directly declare war with the Southern Alliance. In fact, they did not have the ability to conduct an expedition at this time. What was even more troublesome was that the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes did not know how much support the Southern Alliance received from Suinhall.

General Dark Moon decided to tidy up the interior first and move the capital to Eclipse City, which was closer to the seaside and port.

Although General Dark Moon finally "compromised" and restored the dual capital strategy, this compromise was just to comfort some other people and had no meaning at all.

In a substantial sense, Lunar Eclipse City will become the new capital.

General Dark Moon will take the affected people and the King of Snakes to Eclipse City to implement his plan to move the capital and restructure, and truly implement the national policy that was originally superficial and controversial. Several provinces will be divided. Implement a new system.

As the meeting ended, General Darkmoon lay down on his chair.

Looking very tired.

But it made General Dark Moon temporarily relax. Even though the enemies and problems he would face next were still severe, he finally took the first step.

It was the coming of this disaster that made General Dark Moon take the first step.

In addition, General Dark Moon also has a brand new harvest, a powerful trump card.

At this moment, General Dark Moon thought again of the Son of Fury created by the Abyss Religion.

"Byron!"

If this power is used well, it will be the final word.

Currently, there are only two apostle-level powers found on the entire Ruhe Island.

One teaches in the Land of the Rising Sun, and the other lives in seclusion in the wilderness.

Although Byron still doesn't know how to use this power, it is only a matter of time; now Byron has completely believed in General Dark Moon and mustered up the courage to take revenge on the Southern City-State Alliance and the Abyss Order.

The plan to move the capital was successful and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The day before General Dark Moon escorted the King of Snakes to leave Pans City, he came to the Temple of Snakes.

Although the Ten Thousand Snakes Temple has not said it supports him recently, it has not opposed him either.

This made General Darkmoon very strange.

The moment he saw the blind female prophet, he immediately spoke to the prophet.

"Lord Prophet!"

"I wish you would leave with us."

The blind female prophet stood under the statue. She seemed to have known that General Dark Moon was coming. She did not say that she could not leave. She had already decided on this matter.

After she finished praying to God, she turned around and looked at General Darkmoon.

She couldn't see the other person's appearance, she could only look directly at the light of his life, but because of this, the pressure was even greater.

Being looked at by her was like being stared straight into the deepest part of my heart.

She shook her head.

"Dark Moon!"

"You have no faith!"

General Dark Moon: "Is it just because I want to leave Pans City?"

"So those who don't live at the foot of the mountain where life originated are not believers?"

"That has nothing to do with it," said the blind prophetess, "you know what I'm talking about."

"You have no faith, that's all."

"It has nothing to do with other things, and it has nothing to do with you moving the capital."

General Dark Moon was silent. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue of the god.

Even in this temple, he said it without any concealment.

"prophet!"

"You're right."

“I don’t believe in God because He can’t give me what I want.”

Blind female prophet: "In front of God, you are really honest."

General Dark Moon smiled, he didn't seem to care about this yet.

“If I don’t tell you, doesn’t God know?”

"Don't God know what our hearts are like? Doesn't God know whether we are pious or not?"

"We must admit our selfishness, our despicability, and our ambition."

"That's how people exist."

"We may be noble for a while, great for a while, but most of the time, we are despicable and dark, and we are controlled by desire."

He spoke as he moved past two statues of gods and murals.

"Perhaps it's because the gods live above the clouds and we live in the mire and dust."

"Even if we are facing the superior gods, our desires and greed will not change at all; if the gods are of no use to us, if the gods will not respond to us, if the gods cannot satisfy our desires."

“We wouldn’t always truly believe in Him!”

"Just because they created this world and created us? Do we respond with everlasting piety?"

"No, we always want more."

“Our greed knows no bounds, our desires have no bottom.”

"Once God does not respond and is not satisfied, we will doubt Him, we will question Him, and we will even resent Him!"

General Darkmoon stared at the Prophet.

"Not just me, but other people in this city, the divine attendants in this temple."

"Do they really believe in gods?"

"Some of them are ignorant followers, and some just enjoy the benefits brought to them by the gods. Once there is no benefit to believing in the gods, they will immediately abandon the gods."

"Just like those lords in the south."

General Darkmoon even questioned the Prophet.

"prophet!"

"Even if it were you, would you give everything you have to God?"

"Don't you also want to ask for something from the gods?"

At the end of the sentence, General Darkmoon shook his head.

"I don't believe in gods."

"But I don't question the gods, nor do I resent the gods."

"Because from the beginning, I was not prepared to ask for anything from the gods."

"I just use my own way to pursue the results I want."

Listening to General Dark Moon's words, the prophet understood for the first time what kind of person the person in front of him was.

"I saw your plan."

"You took advantage of everyone."

"You sacrificed so many people without caring, just to implement the plan you wanted."

"Now, you succeeded."

Dark Moon is not surprised that the prophet knows this, because the prophet has the ability to predict in legends.

"Then why didn't you stop me?"

The prophet told General Darkmoon: "Because I have no way to stop you, and it's already too late when I want to stop you."

"I can't see the future. I can only occasionally see the distance and see what has already happened."

"And after it happens, it's too late to stop you."

"You have become the only pillar of support for this country."

The prophet's voice softened a little, and she asked with some pleading to the man with a heart of steel in front of her.

"Dark Moon!"

"Slow down, slow down your pace!"

"You are too radical and will destroy this country faster."

She wanted to say, let Dark Moon give herself some time.

She had found another way, another that she felt was more feasible.

Although.

She still doesn't know whether this method can be successful.

Dark Moon was silent for a moment and replied.

"The world waits for no one."

"The enemy will not wait for me, and time will not wait for me."

the Seer asked Darkmoon.

"Dark Moon!"

"What kind of world do you want to create?"

Dark Moon didn't say anything.

During this meeting, neither of them changed the other's heart.

Dark Moon still firmly carried out her plan, and the prophet finally chose to stay in Pans City and do what she thought she should do.

Large ships arrived at Pans City one after another, and thousands of people boarded the ships and started heading to Eclipse City.

among the crowd.

Byron followed among them. Many people looked back at their hometown, but he didn't even take a second look.

He looked only to the south, the fire of that day reflected in his eyes.

Now.

He wants to pass.

Burning endless flames to his enemies.

——

At the foot of the mountain where life originated.

In the ancient cave.

The blind girl came here again, and one giant shadow after another emerged from the darkness, surrounding her.

The prophet didn't hesitate this time, she was ready.

She opened her arms and jumped down from the spiral staircase.

The fire of her life was connected to the flames of those shadows.

"Please take me!"

"Go to the kingdom of the gods!"

The dense and dense black shadows of the huge giant were entangled together, drowning the blind female prophet.

The Demonic Insect Families suddenly became restless, and the ground on the Beast Beast Plains trembled slightly. Thousands of giant creatures were surging beneath the ground.

Rushing towards that unknown country.

The prophet of the Temple of the Serpents disappeared, and no one could see her again for a long time.

Group after group of people left Pans City and headed to Eclipse City.

The Temple Knights in the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes guarded the city and never left.

They are waiting.

Waiting for the prophet to return in a new identity.
