Chapter 70: Half a Chapter "The World Tree even pulled out its roots and used them...
The war broke out quickly and ended just as quickly.
While the human emperor was dealing with the aftermath of the "Blood Moon Disaster", he was lamenting that his reputation for benevolence had been ruined and that he would definitely be included in the comments of future tyrants. At the same time, the elven emperor was crying loudly in front of the holy spring.
Amuruo crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
That's the trouble with elves: age doesn't equate to maturity. This elven emperor has been on the throne for thirty or forty years, yet when faced with such a small matter, he just cries like a child.
The Elf Emperor cried until his eyes were swollen: "The World Tree is almost withered, and this is just a small matter?"
Amuruo replied: "Yes, that's right."
The Elf Emperor wanted to burn to death this half-elf whose origin and age were unknown.
The lifespan of half-elves is generally not as long as that of pure-blooded elves, but when she was still wielding branches as weapons, Amuruo looked exactly the same as she does now.
The elves always boasted in front of others, "I beat up your grandparents before," but Amuruo called the great Elf Emperor a "little ignorant brat." No wonder the Elf Emperor always wanted to kill Amuruo.
However, emperors are able to bend and stretch. Although the Elf Emperor wanted to kill Amuruo, he now controlled his temper and asked Amuruo for help.
Regardless of his own safety, the Elf Emperor tried to contact the World Tree again, but there was not even a vague response.
This had never happened even when the gods were in hiding. Their connection with the World Tree had been completely severed.
The elven guards of the holy land were all at a loss.
They are nominally the "guardians of the World Tree," but everyone knows that gods who are not on the same latitude as mortal beings do not need the protection of mortal beings.
What they are guarding is the holy land and the faith.
A thousand years had passed since the last divine war. This span of time might seem short to the gods, but to mortals, even the elves with their long lifespans, it was a distant past.
The gods are responding less and less to mortals, as if they have completely given the mortal world to mortals.
Even religious holy places like the World Tree Holy Land have started to engage in tourism to generate income. Only the small area of the Holy Spring is heavily guarded by elves and refused to be opened to the public.
Many newly born mortals have forgotten the splendor of the religious holy places when gods still walked the world.
So when something really happened to the gods they were "protecting", they were at a loss.
What can they do? What can they do for the gods who have protected their ancestors for generations?
How exactly should we “guard” the so-called “guardian” gods?
They don't know.
Could it be that they can only watch the gods fall?
Amuruo's pair of golden eyes sparkled.
His gaze passed through the holy spring and looked towards the divine realm of the World Tree.
The divine domain of the World Tree was crawling with insects, and the World Tree was almost invisible.
"Call again." Amuruo said to the Elf Emperor.
The Elf Emperor Livalen nodded and plunged into the holy spring again, constantly calling upon the World Tree.
The connection between the Divine Realm and the Holy Land deepened, and insects swarmed towards the "passageway".
A piece of tree root rolled over, swept the insects away, and blocked the "passage".
Amuruo closed his eyes and pinched his brows.
"Bugs" and "tree roots" are the "manifestations" of the fighting rules of gods, not real bugs and tree roots.
But this "materialization" reveals the true situation of this battle between gods - the World Tree even pulled out its roots and used them.
Okay, there’s no hope, just wait to die.
Fatigue surged into Amuruo's heart.
Although he had often cursed the gods to die quickly and die with the world during his previous salvation, when he really saw the gods dying, and it wasn't even the "personality of the gods" but the "godhead" and "position" itself that were about to be destroyed, Amuruo felt only deep exhaustion.
"Alright, pull up your emperor," Amuruo said. "The World Tree has proactively blocked the passage to prevent the evil gods from escaping."
The Elf Emperor put on his coat, and mist rose from the wet clothes, drying them instantly.
The Elf Emperor asked, "What can we do?"
Amuruo said, "Prepare for battle. Once the World Tree has done its best to weaken the Evil God and dies, the Evil God will enter the mortal world through the Holy Land to protect their homeland and avenge the World Tree."
The Elf Emperor's heart trembled: "Like Atlantis?"
Amuruo said, "The whole world is about to become like Atlantis. Be prepared."
He opened his eyes again, and there were a few more bloodshot eyes.
His previous peek had exposed him to an attack from an Outer God, but he had also managed to grasp traces of their rules.
"Worms that erode the world's barriers."
In other words, they are bugs that dig tunnels connecting the various worlds.
For example, the Sea of Decay corresponds to the Sea God, the Blood Moon corresponds to the Silver Moon, and the Worm God corresponds to the World Tree, the "gateway to the world."
The "sea", "silver moon" and "world channel" are not the whole of the divine rules, but only one aspect of the divine rules, namely "following God".
Their ultimate goal is to replace the "sun", "water" and "foundation".
Before the Elf Emperor could calm down from his panic, he saw Amuruo walking into the holy spring of the elves wearing shoes.
Her angry scream was stuck in her throat—the Holy Spring emitted a more brilliant light than any previous elven emperor had ever seen when he called upon the World Tree, as if an aurora was being set above the Holy Spring.
When the Elf Emperor saw this scene, he was filled with grief.
What is Amuruo's origin? How can he be more like the Elf Emperor than the Elf Emperor? He's just a half-elf, ah!
Sur, who was still visiting the fields, showed a surprised expression. He turned around and saw that Amuruo's clone had disappeared.
Is Amuruo ready to fight the Outer Gods head-on?
Worry and discomfort appeared between Sur's brows.
How many years has it been since he and Amuruo were completely separated?
"Teacher! What happened! Aw...hiss!" Xia Xifeng was so anxious that he accidentally bit his tongue.
Su Er, who was suppressing his discomfort, was amused by his disciple's foolishness and laughed: "Don't worry, he just wants to fight with all his strength and retract the power of his clone..."
Before Suer finished speaking, a little man fell from mid-air.
Sur quickly reached out and caught it.
Little Amuruo yawned and fell asleep in Sul's palm.
Su Er: “…”
Xia Xifeng stretched his head over.
Su Er covered Amuruo's palm with one hand and said, "I'm going back to Green Sand City. While Amuruo is too busy to take care of this place, you and Xiao Lang should be careful."
Xia Xifeng nodded and tried to stretch his head further.
Take one look, and then take another look.
Su Er glared at his disciple angrily, then opened his palm with a smile to satisfy Xia Xifeng.
Xia Xifeng said enviously, "Qin Lang just refuses to become a villain."
Su Er said: "He will sooner or later."
Xia Xifeng looked expectant.
If Qin Lang turns into a villain, he must play the villain dress-up game with him!
Qin Lang's real body, who was cleaning the contaminated spot, and Qin Lang's clone, who was processing paperwork, sneezed at the same time.
It goes without saying that Xia Xifeng must have bad intentions.
Because Xia Xifeng had just posted a picture of the Amuruo figurine and once again encouraged Qin Lang to create a similar figurine.
Qin Lang, who was already in a bad mood because he missed out on a big dungeon, sneered.
Was he turned into a little man and manipulated by Xia Xifeng into a dress-up doll? He wasn't stupid.
When Xia Xifeng was a child, he had a cabinet full of dress-up dolls dressed as various comic book heroes. He was even forced to help Xia Xifeng by dismantling the mechanical toys she had bought and making strange armor for the dress-up dolls.
Qin Lang: [You can try giving Teacher Amuruo the villain armor.]
Xia Xifeng pursed her lips unhappily.
He thought he had concealed his intentions well, but he didn't expect Qin Lang to see through him in an instant. It would be even harder for him to deceive Qin Lang and become a villain in the future. Tsk.
Amuruo entered the divine realm of the World Tree through the Holy Spring of Elves to see if he could rescue some fragments of the World Tree. The blood moon disaster broke out all over the human empire.
Although the Silver Moon appeared in time, the damage caused by the disaster was also great.
Black water appeared again around Atlantis and was cleaned up in time by Singer.
A month later, never-before-seen monsters appeared in other countries and cities, large and small.
Most of these monsters have no shape and are more disgusting than rotting corpses. Just one look at them makes people feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, these monsters are not strong and can be handled by ordinary experienced professionals.
The Dwarf Kingdom previously revealed the truth about the attack on the Dwarf caravan, telling everyone that these mud monsters can drill into people's bodies and simulate the actions of living people.
Xia Xifeng had previously made protective gear out of cheap materials. Once he and Qin Lang were able to play in experience dungeons, they upgraded their gear with the daily materials dropped from them—Outer God Divinity.
Although the price is a little bit higher, the city lord can hang the protective items at the city gate to prevent the "evil god's minions" from sneaking into the city.
Sur is trying to replace the Outer Gods' divinity with other materials.
The Outer Gods were incompatible with the rules of this world, and this attempt would have been impossible to succeed. However, when the Outer Gods and the local gods engaged in direct battle, the Outer Gods merged into this world, and the rules of the world were distorted. It became possible to replace the Outer Gods' divinity with materials from the local world.
The world has become chaotic, and all parties are trying to save themselves, while some ambitious people are taking the opportunity to start a war.
When Xia Xifeng first heard the news, he was completely in disbelief.
The end of the world is coming, why is there still a civil war?
Later he thought about it and realized that the end of the world had not yet come, and not everyone could guess the seriousness of the situation.
Besides, maybe even after the end of the world comes, the creatures will not stop fighting among themselves.
Amuruo, who still looked like a villain, said: "This is not a simple internal struggle. The way the war was launched is very much in the style of the God of War."
Xia Xifeng held up his chin and said, "The God of War, is there a God of Conspiracy involved?"
Amuruo lay on Sur's shoulder and said lazily, "They two really like to get together. Do you know the true duties of the God of War and the God of Conspiracy?"
Just as Xia Xifeng was about to speak, Suer stood up.
When he stood up, he did not forget to use his palm to protect Amuruo on his shoulder.
Xia Xifeng looked at him with envy and turned to look at Qin Lang: Change one!
Qin Lang responded with his eyes: Get lost.
"He actually went to the lower world?" Suer was surprised.
He waved to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang: "Follow me."
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang followed Su Er in confusion and walked out of the City Lord's Manor, which had finally taken shape in the City of Hope.
Su Er took Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang through several streets.
People along the way could see Suer and the other two and would make way for them, but they seemed not to know Suer, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, who they should have known, and ignored the three of them as if they were strangers.
Qin Lang was thoughtful and had some insights.
Wait until he tries it, then ask Mr. Soul for advice.
Soul stopped at a fruit stand.
An old man is bargaining with a cat selling fruit.
He is willing to buy all the fruit, but he has to eat the cat's food.
Maomao watched the old man warily, ready to flee and alert the city guards.
"Are you free?" Su Er said helplessly, "Don't bully me."
The old man put away his greedy face and said, "You came so soon? I want to shop for a while longer."
Su Er said: "I can continue shopping with you."
The old man smiled and said, "That's boring."
He cast his gaze towards Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang: "Your junior?"
Suhr said nothing.
The old man did not ask any further questions: "Let's go, and talk while we walk."
He turned and walked towards the city gate.
Su Er said to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, "This is the God of Conspiracy."
Xia Xifeng spoke bluntly: "The God of Conspiracy who used the beauty trap to deceive the God of the Sea?!"
Su Er: "..." This stupid kid.
The old man laughed heartily: "You also said this in front of the Water God?"
Xia Xifeng, whose mouth was covered by Qin Lang, blinked hard.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. It's the Water God who's embarrassed, not me. Or are you afraid of an evil god like me?"
Triggered a plot dialogue?
Qin Lang released the hand that was covering Xia Xifeng's mouth and let Xia Xifeng go through the plot.
Xia Xifeng took a few deep breaths.
Damn Qin Lang, he almost suffocated him to death.
"I don't think you are evil." Xia Xifeng said.
The old man smiled and said, "Conspiracy itself represents evil."
Xia Xifeng shook his head: "Conspiracies, overt plots, or other strategies are all wisdom without a stance. Their good or evil stance depends on the good or evil stance of the user."
Chinese people will not cry out "evil" when they see conspiracy and trickery.
Is sowing discord not considered a conspiracy? In times of turmoil, when striving for supremacy, who wouldn't resort to a sowing discord scheme? Can these forces employing sowing discord distinguish between good and evil?
Perhaps, but the standard for judging whether they are good or evil certainly does not lie in whether they use conspiracy.
The old man smiled and said, "Wisdom. It seems you know who I am."
Xia Xifeng had some guesses, but was not sure.
After all, this is just players' speculation about the plot, and the official game has not yet come out to certify it.
But the old man's words confirmed Xia Xifeng's guess.
This top "troublemaker" and conspiracy god who is active in various divine war forces, behind the vest is a "completely positive" god - the god of wisdom.
There is no god of conspiracy in this world.
What is a conspiracy? How is it defined?
The God of Wisdom is wearing the guise of a subordinate god, but he is actually the "God of Strategy".
Strategy, the crystallization of wisdom born out of fighting among living beings, is so interesting.
Xia Xifeng seemed to understand something: "Then the name of the God of War may not be accurate. He should be the God of Fighting or Competition."
The God of Wisdom shook his head: "No."
Qin Lang: "The deity who controls the concept of evolution."
The God of Wisdom smiled and nodded, "Smart. It's a pity that you are already one of Heavenly Father's Favored Ones, otherwise you would be very suitable to become one of mine."
Qin Lang was praised, but he was not moved at all.
What is so touching about the importance that the God of Fun attaches to us?
Xia Xifeng thought for a long time before he figured out the connection between competition and evolution.
The purpose of the God of War has never been to provoke war, but to promote the evolution of individuals or groups through war or competition.
Su Er said weakly, "The sudden outbreak of war was instigated by you and the God of War, right? What do you want to do?"
The God of Wisdom smiled and said, "Guess?"
Sur's face darkened.
It would be nice if Amuruo’s real body was here.
This god deserves to be punished!
