Chapter 343: Run, the God of Magic is a Madman!!!

"Is this your kingdom of God? Are you kidding me?"

Looking at the big golden egg in front of him, which looked like the Dragon God after merging with the Dao, Lu Wenwu's doubts grew louder.

He pointed in the direction outside the Dragon Bone Tower and asked, "No, buddy, take a look at the scene outside. How can this place match the appearance of your kingdom in the dragon legends?"

"Well, that's right, because that's exactly what I did on purpose." The Dragon God's voice was filled with a hint of pride. "I heard the conversation between you and my descendants. The information anchor point is very interesting."

"Is this the truth?" Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow. "That so-called timeline is just a lie, right?"

"At least part of the truth."

The Dragon God had no intention of covering it up and simply endured it.

"Then why don't you tell them the truth?" Lu Wenwu continued, crossing his arms. "Legends forge faith, and faith condenses myth. When you become a part of history, you form an information anchor, and the myth begins to take shape. Will you also be promoted to an immortal god?"

"If I'm not mistaken, even if a god dies in a war of gods, as long as legends of them are passed down through the world, then the god is immortal and will one day return from the legends?"

"I don't know how you learned this secret. The path to godhood should have been obliterated. And what about the secret of immortality? Even I took a long time to understand it."

The Dragon God did not respond directly.

But what he said was still an admission of everything.

"Many times, the less you know, the safer you are. This is a form of protection for them. No creature can become a god again. That is not a path to evolution at all; it will only bring destruction."

"What's the reason? You can't possibly be in a realm of restraint, right? The kind where the more you know, the faster you die." Lu Wenwu said with a hint of sarcasm, "I hope you can tell me the truth, otherwise you'll have to fight me."

Although he knew that the Dragon God couldn't understand him, he still wanted to complain.

The Dragon God really didn't understand, but he had learned to ignore such crazy talk in just a few sentences of conversation.

"Don't threaten me. You haven't even truly achieved godhood yet, but you already possess such astonishing combat prowess. You're naturally qualified to know this."

"I can't guarantee that what I know is completely correct, but I will try my best to tell you everything I know and remember."

"I only hope that when the Second War of the Gods breaks out, you can protect the dragon clan a little bit because of this knowledge."

"This is nothing. Even if you don't believe it, I do have some dragon blood of your kind."

Lu Wenwu sat cross-legged in the void, came to a position level with the big golden ball, and said with a smile.

"I'm very interested in the details of the War of the Gods."

The Dragon God wasn't in the habit of telling riddles, so he got straight to the point: "Before I tell you about the war of the gods, I first want to ask you a question. What do you think magic is?"

"I think of the power of thought, the power of idealism, and whatever you wish for will come true," Lu Wenwu answered without hesitation. "But I'm a little unsure about ancient magic. Why are there distinctions between Sons of Heaven and Sons of Earth, and between Dragon Language Magic and Divine Arts?"

"The former is unfortunate, and I don't understand it either."

The Dragon God's body swayed from side to side, as if shaking his head as he answered.

"I can clearly tell you about the latter. This is the miraculous power that arises when individual strength is strengthened to a certain degree by the collective mindset."

"In other words, gods are powerful beings who master laws and concepts. They can, to a certain extent, materialize abstract concepts in reality, and even distort reality to a certain extent."

"For example, the dragon language magic I created, which is inherited by the bloodline, and the Great Resurrection, the iconic forbidden divine art of the Holy See of Light, were all created by the gods by forcibly distorting reality."

"Even as a mere mortal, the Son of Heaven already possessed the power to slightly warp reality. When the Son of Heaven ascends to godhood through thought, this power to warp reality will be magnified to an incredible degree."

"And this power, powerful enough to rewrite reality, is called divine power."

"Divine power will transform the power of the gods into miracles, and miracles will become part of the myths of the gods and the legends of the people, making the believers' faith more devout and their thoughts more pure."

"If this continues, the two will become a complete cycle."

"The stronger the believer's thoughts, the stronger the god. The stronger the miracle power, the stronger the believer's thoughts."

"This is the power of God."

"Oh! I totally get it!"

Lu Wenwu suddenly realized something and hit his leg with his fist.

"So the essence of a god is to come from the masses and return to the masses, right? It's just like the emperor of a feudal dynasty. The king is the boat, the people are the water, the people are more important than the king. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"If legends cease, myths change, and believers lose their faith in the gods, and people stop singing the legends and epics that have been circulating in the marketplace, then the gods that gained power from their followers will eventually die out, right?"

This time, the Dragon God was truly silent.

This was something he had pondered silently for many years after he "harmonized the Dao" before he finally figured out a little bit of the clue.

This slightly crazy guy in front of me completely understood it!?

After a long time, he sighed deeply, as if he wanted to sigh out all the wasted years.

Then, the Dragon God spoke again: "You are quite right."

"So why have you become like this? Logically speaking, believers and gods form a perfect cycle, isn't that great? The power is getting stronger and stronger, and the faith is getting stronger and stronger." Lu Wenwu continued to ask.

"Because the belief, or rather the thought, is poisonous!"

The Dragon God's voice suddenly became bitter, as if a person who had been wronged for countless years had suddenly found an outlet to vent.

"The power of faith becomes an amplifier. The power that distorts reality will also act on the gods themselves!"

"That's twisting reality, it's a dream come true!"

"Do you know how terrifying it is to have your thoughts gradually changed, everything about you constantly distorted by the thoughts of your followers, and ultimately even your memories completely altered because of legends?"

"Memory is everything to intelligent creatures."

"If even my memories are forcibly distorted by this power, and everything outside of me is changed, then am I still myself?"

"I once watched helplessly as my best friend, the human hero who once roamed before the Age of Gods, the barbarian who loved to giggle, gradually transformed into the 'wise' God of Light, the God of Light with a cold, expressionless face, as cold as a sword!"

Listening to the Dragon God's confession, Lu Wenwu's expression immediately became serious.

Things gradually began to go in a bad direction.

This power that distorts reality is even more influential than the classic sayings of "faith is poisonous" and "incense is poisonous".

Not only will the mind and past of the gods be completely replaced and changed, but even their wisdom may be erased, transforming them into an existence like a self-regulating machine.

"So, are you still the Dragon God you once were?" When Lu Wenwu said this, he was already prepared for battle.

A torrent of qi and blood rushed through his body, and the muscles that had previously relaxed tensed again.

Even his eyes had transformed into the bizarre blood-gold dragon pupils of the Purgatory Dragon, and his aura suddenly surged.

"You can rest assured. The real me died long ago when I transformed into the Law," the Dragon God said somewhat dejectedly. "Do you see this golden ball? It can probably be considered a part of my corpse, the embodiment of the Law, carried by my former divine weapon."

Lu Wenwu frowned slightly: "What about you now?"

The Dragon God's voice deepened. "I am now nothing more than a magical creation created by my divine power before my death. I cannot think or learn. Even those undead creatures whose bodies are dead can be considered alive in my current state."

"I merged my soul into the heaven and earth, into my kingdom of God, transformed my body into Dragon Island, and refined my spine into the current Dragon Bone Tower of Babel for future generations to train and cultivate, while also connecting heaven and earth."

"This 100th floor, which is me as you see me now, is the center of all this."

"I possess all my memories and wisdom, but I am always aware that I am not myself. I am just a replica I created, so I am not eroded by the power of faith."

"I don't quite understand." Lu Wenwu said suddenly.

"What?" The Dragon God was stunned. "What do you mean you can't understand? You can't understand why I chose to be in this state?"

Lu Wenwu nodded. "Yes, this doesn't make sense logically. The twisting power of thought will erase your concept as an individual of the ancient dragon Dragun and replace you with the Dragon God Dragun."

"Physically speaking, you are already dead. Even if you return through legend, you will only be resurrected as the Dragon God Dragun in the minds of believers."

"Then the question is, in your current state of fusion with the Kingdom of God, aren't you still going to die? What's the point of doing this? You haven't changed the outcome at all."

"No! I've changed a lot!" The Dragon God's tone suddenly became excited. "At least the dragon race is still there! The dragon race has not been completely exterminated. It has even become a top race, right?"

"ah?"

Now it was Lu Wenwu's turn to be confused.

The Dragon God continued excitedly, "Why do you think dragons don't occupy places with abundant water and grass? Do you think elves prefer to stay in beautiful forests with nothing but trees? Do you think dwarves really like volcanoes where even food doesn't grow?"

"Do you think orcs like to stay in such a bitterly cold place? Do you think the undead like to bury themselves in cemeteries as corpses, and occasionally even greet humans politely when they are dug out of the ground?"

"Ah? What else?" Lu Wenwu was confused. "If you gods don't come out, and humans have so many strange and bizarre cultivation systems emerging one after another, wouldn't it be normal for them to be strong enough to gain an advantage?"

"Bullshit! That's because all the gods who dared to cause trouble were killed by that lunatic God of Magic!"

The Dragon God's voice almost became a roar, and the entire golden ball kept shaking, as if it was about to rush out of the 100th floor of the Dragon Bone Tower of Babel.

"He's a madman! He truly wiped out a race, annihilating their entire culture and legends. Not a single one remained! Those gods who were killed were truly dead once they died! He even targeted humanity's own gods, severing countless myths and legends."

"Back in the Age of the Gods, before the Golden Calendar was implemented, and even in the Age before the Gods, there were countless intelligent races on the continent! And look at them now? These races have even degenerated into mindless monsters!"

"If I hadn't seen the situation getting worse and taken the initiative to abandon the dark and join the light, and if I hadn't merged into the Kingdom of God after the massacre by the God of Magic, turning the Kingdom of God into a small plane hanging next to the main material plane, how do you think the dragon race has such a transcendent status now?"

"The other gods have already died once, but that madman Magik is still alive!"

I test!

Lu Wenwu couldn't help but utter an interjection in his heart to express his emotions.

Good, good, good. It turns out that the dragon race is now superior to all races except humans because they served as dogs for the legendary racist God of Magic!

Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a dog.

At least the dragon clan is living a comfortable and comfortable life now, isn't it?

Except for the dragon clan, the legends about the gods of other races have not been widely circulated in human society.

Even three-year-old children have heard the story of the dragon clan.

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Wenwu suddenly understood why the Dragon Clan was directly attacked by the troops sent by the Church of Light.

"So the God of Light was also killed by the God of Magic back then? But not all of them were killed? Now they've recovered and are commanding their followers to seek revenge, right?"

"Wrong!" said the Dragon God. "I want to correct you. Back then, there was only the God of Light, not the Gods of Light. I don't even know where this God of Justice and Judgment came from."

"But you're right. Judging by the timeline, those gods who weren't completely destroyed in the legends back then are almost ready to revive and return. The entire continent is about to usher in the Second War of the Gods!"

"If it weren't for the fact that there are fewer and fewer magicians in the human world who can perform ancient magic, I would even consider completely closing the Dragon Island space and waiting for the war to be completely over in a thousand or two thousand years."

Lu Wenwu did not continue to argue with the Dragon God.

He was thinking about something.

If the power of thought to distort reality is so strong, then do the concepts of the so-called Son of Heaven, Son of Earth, the power of the dragon clan, and even the difficulty of hatching dragon eggs all originate from the thought born from collective consciousness that turns thoughts into reality?

In this way, Bra gradually became a blood demon, and the dragon clan changed from ordinary monsters to the current natural top magical creatures.

The Sons of Heaven, beings with spellcasting talents from ancient times, used to be everywhere, but now their numbers are becoming increasingly rare due to the cognitive discrepancy between the public and magicians.

Even created the concepts of modern magic and the Son of Earth?

hiss.

So actually, there are no roads in the world. When more people walk on it, it becomes a road! ?

I think, sir's words are so insightful even in another world!

No, wait!

Lu Wenwu suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

He hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, is the God of Magic a man or a woman?"

"Of course the madman is a man, why?"

"Fuck!"
