Chapter 358: Join the game with your own strength and win half the battle

"Ha, that's not that hard to guess, is it?"

Majik chuckled.

"The will of the gods was influenced as early as the beginning of their creation. Among the faiths contributed by mortals, the most numerous and strongest are their countless desires."

"These negative emotions, fueled by desire, constantly infect the gods' consciousness, like a frog in boiling water, constantly twisting the once gentle gods into madmen one after another."

"And a group of lunatics with the ability to distort reality, their consciousness is only distorted."

Just hearing these words makes people feel scared and sends chills down their spines.

What a twisted bunch of gods!

The combination of divine power and will can really forcibly distort reality and void creation!

If it were just a god, there would still be room for maneuver.

So, what about a group of gods?

What would the ultimate Gu King, born from a group of twisted gods who constantly fight and devour like raising Gu, look like?

Lu Wenwu finally realized what the ultimate natural disaster and ultimate doomsday of this world would be.

He had played so many copies and had long understood that behind each copy were all kinds of crises.

And it must be a world-destroying crisis!

The world-destroying crisis in the Continent of Gods comes from God!

Originated from all intelligent life!

It comes from the terrifying power that can make your wishes come true!

This was an almost unsolvable natural disaster, and Lu Wenwu's mind overturned more than a dozen salvation plans in a very short period of time.

For a tangible enemy, he can let the other party see the power of his fist.

How to deal with invisible and intangible enemies?

The root cause of distortion lies in the desires of intelligent life, in the dark side that is bound by morality in the heart but continues to grow.

Unless every person in the entire Continent of Gods is a saint, or there is no living being left.

Otherwise, one day, this world will fall into destruction.

As if not noticing the change in Lu Wenwu's expression, Magik's voice continued to come from the Star Staff:

"This world cannot accommodate so many gods. As the number of gods increases, the world's carrying capacity is constantly approaching its limit."

"I don't know what will happen after the carrying capacity is exceeded. My sixth sense tells me that it will definitely not be a beautiful scene. No living creature will survive."

"I thought that by wiping out all the gods, I could avoid all of this."

"So, I began to slaughter gods crazily."

"Foreigners, natives."

"Not only will I destroy their mountains and temples, but I will also wipe out their races and completely obliterate their legends and beliefs from the history of this world, preventing any potential means of their resurrection."

“But I soon discovered once again that this approach was futile.”

"When a god dies, the distorted power does not decrease, nor does it dissipate. It even continues to grow!"

"Why?" Lu Wenwu asked at the right moment. "If you were the only one left in the world, and you destroyed everything related to gods, and then staged a fake death to completely eliminate the concept of gods, wouldn't that stop growth?"

"Unfortunately, that can't be done."

Majik sighed and said quietly.

"While slaughtering the gods, I discovered something even more frustrating. Not only do gods born from thought induce distortion, but so do gifted spellcasters."

"So, I founded a school, gathering mages from all over the world. Through their faith in me, I established the concepts of arcane magic, emotional magic, and the concepts of Sons of Heaven and Earth."

"I'm trying to find a transcendental path that can circumvent this distorted growth, in order to minimize the number of ancient magicians you know of and forcibly wipe out individuals with ancient magic talent from the continent."

"This method was effective at first. As the number of Children of the Day gradually decreased, the growth rate of distortions began to decline significantly."

"The number of local sons is also declining, the number of arcanists is gradually increasing, and the growth rate of aberrations has also begun to decrease again."

"However, just when I thought I was about to successfully curb the distorted growth and could finally relax and study how to eliminate this distortion, reality gave me a heavy blow."

"My research into distortion has progressed further, and I've discovered, to my despair, that it stems from the very bottom of our minds, a collection of all negative thoughts and desires."

"As long as intelligent life exists, this power will continue to grow indefinitely, but the rate of growth brought about by gods and spellcasters is more pronounced."

"In other words, as long as intelligent life exists, it will eventually reach that limit."

"When I came to this conclusion, my defenses were broken."

"I was almost there, just a little bit away from being corrupted by the corrupting power of my faith and becoming the ultimate carrier of distortion."

"Fortunately, it was precisely because of this that I had a flash of inspiration and found a solution that might be effective."

"If the power of distortion is something illusory, then I will create a carrier for it! If the distortion after breaking through the carrying capacity needs an outlet, then I will plan a place for it!"

"After finalizing my plan, I wiped out as much of the belief in gods as possible, blurred the world's understanding of gods, destroyed all the files recording the path to godhood, and sealed myself in the kingdom of gods."

"To ensure the plan could continue to move forward, I first distorted the perception of me among all magicians and arcanists, creating an image that was completely contrary to who I am."

"At the same time, tear off a portion of your soul and use it as a carrier to carry the power of faith belonging to the God and Goddess of Magic on my behalf, ensuring that my consciousness will not be overwritten by the tide of thought."

"Once the artifact of the arcane law was successfully condensed, I separated the Star Staff that embodied the magical law, transferred my consciousness from the body of the Magic Goddess, and actively merged with the law to a limited extent."

"From the perspective of law, the correct title for the Goddess of Magic should actually be the Goddess of Arcane. It's just that both arcane mages and magicians believe in me."

"This reminds me of the Dragon God's big golden ball." Lu Wenwu couldn't help but interject.

Majik said with some complacency, "In fact, He learned that method from me, but he didn't learn it completely. That idiot couldn't have figured out such a sophisticated operation."

"Furthermore, after I merged myself with the artifact, I was able to retain my consciousness and use it to reversely control my body, just like controlling an alchemical puppet. Do you understand what I mean?"

Understand.

It was hard for Lu Wenwu not to think of a madman called Scorpion of the Red Sand.

Except for the regeneration core, the entire body is a puppet.

The operations of these two people are similar.

He was silent for about a second, then extended his hand and gestured, "Go on."

Magik continued to explain his plan: "After completing these, my body will be blank, and my consciousness will be able to remotely control it through the Star Staff."

"Given the circumstances at the time, the Magic Goddess was still in a semi-recovery state, not yet fully divine. The other gods were either completely wiped out by me or entered into silence. I am the only god left in the world."

"Naturally, I began to intrude upon the kingdoms of other gods, forcibly extracting their power of faith. I actively absorbed that distorted power between heaven and earth, integrating it all into my own blank body."

"Fuck!"

Lu Wenwu couldn't help but say something about the national quintessence.

"Because the Distortion itself has no physical form, you're essentially giving it your body to use, allowing the Distortion's power to merge with your body? Artificially creating a physical form?"

"That's right."

Majik smiled happily.

"When the distortions I collected reached a certain threshold, it seemed as if the quantitative change led to a qualitative change. I became the 'ultimate winner' I had envisioned, and countless distortions automatically gathered towards my body."

"I also completely stopped at that time and returned to the depths of the Kingdom of God, a space I had prepared long ago. I began to accommodate all the distortions in the world as much as possible, trying to buy enough time."

"Speaking of which, I need to apologize. The flow of time in this dimension was distorted by my past self. It's much, much slower than the outside world. I'm too lazy to calculate the exact speed; it's meaningless anyway."

"If you still have the chance to go out, the outside world may have changed completely."

Lu Wenwu felt his temples throbbing, but he didn't say anything.

He understood what the other party meant without being asked.

Assuming that the speed of time flows at a ratio of one to ten, one day here is equivalent to ten days outside.

Magic just found a possible solution to save the world, but this solution would take time, so he took this approach to delay.

Drag it to the outside world or he himself will one day find a way to completely eliminate the distortion and delay the occurrence of all this as much as possible.

I just hope that the ratio of time flow rate is not too outrageous.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Wenwu calmly asked, "So, what's the situation now? Have you come up with a specific solution?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure." Majik replied with a smile.

"Are you not sure?" Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, I'm not sure." Magik sighed softly, "If you can take my body away from this world, perhaps after being freed from the laws, this deformed flesh and blood will lose its twisted properties and be completely destroyed."

"This shouldn't be a problem."

Lu Wenwu answered after pondering for a moment.

If he could continue to replenish energy into his body, he would even have the confidence to purify this mass of deformed flesh and blood right now.

"But what's the point? The fundamental problem hasn't been solved. It's just a temporary fix. You can't periodically kill a god to use as a container for this thing and then send it away, right? Wouldn't that be like cleaning out the toilet? And I don't think your consciousness can handle it."

"You're right. I've persisted for who knows how many years. My soul and consciousness have been exposed to distortion for so long that they've reached the brink of collapse. I'm only holding on by relying on the power of the laws and the artifacts."

"If I hadn't been unable to hold on any longer, the collective revival of the gods could have been delayed."

Majik said carefully.

"After years of thinking about this, I've come up with a solution that's absolutely feasible. It will resolve the distortion while preserving the ethnic group. It's just that this approach may not be easily accepted."

"What method?" Lu Wenwu asked hurriedly.

"Among the many intelligent races on this continent, there's actually one that doesn't have any such thing as negative emotions. To be more precise, they don't even have normal emotions, let alone desires."

Having said this, Majik paused, and the starlight became softer.

Lu Wenwu was sweating profusely after hearing this.

"Are you talking about undead creatures?"

"Yes, it is the undead creature."

Majik affirmed, putting the final nail in the coffin for Lu Wenwu's guess.

"I studied this a long time ago. The emotions and desires of intelligent creatures originate from the flesh, but undead creatures without flesh and blood simply don't have these things."

"This is also why spellcasters are so rare among undead creatures. They may have strong wills, but it's difficult for them to simulate the emotions required to cast magic and successfully complete a spell."

"As we all know, undead creatures from the Silver Skull upwards are capable of intelligence and can be called intelligent creatures."

"Then, if we let the undead creatures wipe out all the living on the continent and turn the entire continent of the gods into an empire of the dead, perhaps the problem will be solved."

"We can no longer reproduce, and we can no longer increase the number of our species, but we can still continue to evolve. One day we will find a way to escape from this world and continue our race."

"At the same time, all undead creatures have also avoided distorted growth. Without the soil for desires and negative emotions to grow, there is no room for the birth of a second god."

"He is the Undead God among the undead, the Lord of Mourning. He will continuously absorb the pure faith of the dead, becoming the only god and the most powerful god. He doesn't even have to worry about his will being overwritten."

"What do you think? This is the only solution I can come up with that isn't a solution."

After listening to Majik's plan, Lu Wenwu fell silent.

Damn, this is outrageous!

Everyone is reincarnated as undead creatures?

It's absurd yet strangely has a hint of rationality.

It's simply abstract.

Is this a plan that a human could come up with?

Lu Wenwu really wanted to respond like this.

But if you think about it carefully, this plan actually has a little bit of feasibility.

Besides the unknown results, the success rate is even very high!

As long as Lu Wenwu goes out now to help the Lord of Mourning kill all the resurrected gods, the whole world will become part of the Undead Empire.

Then he just needs to find a way to destroy the distorted mountain of flesh and blood that Magik's body has turned into, and the Continent of Gods will be completely peaceful.

From now on, there will be no need for war - the Undead Empire adheres to an absolute pyramid ruling system, and the Lord of Mourning can easily control the life and death of all undead creatures. Rebellion does not exist at all.

What if we eliminated all concepts of gods?

No, this requires the power to distort reality, which Lu Wenwu does not have.

Completely wipe out all gods?

Then the only intelligent creatures left in this world would be dragons, which would be worse than having all undead creatures.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that the dragons will still have the intention to create other gods after forming a society. In the previous life, even supernatural powers did not exist on the blue planet, so how could there be people who wanted to become gods!

After two full minutes of silence, Lu Wenwu said with a complicated expression, "Before I met you, I always thought that my way of doing things was extreme. But in front of you, I feel that I still have some room for improvement."
