Chapter 19 Quick Guide to the God of Elements (Thirty-four)
The smoke cleared, and the sky was dyed blood red by the setting sun, as if silently commemorating the cruelty of the war. Feng Ziang looked around, and saw devastation everywhere. The once prosperous city was now only a ruin. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and scorched earth, which made people nauseous.
"We won..."
Alice's voice came weakly from my arms, with a slight tremor.
Feng Ziang looked down at Morpheus. His pale face was stained with a few drops of blood, but it could not hide the light in his eyes. Yes, we won, right? We finally defeated the demon and protected the elemental world.
"Come, let me help you up."
Feng Ziang gently helped Morpheus up. His body was still weak and he needed someone to support him to stand steadily.
In the distance, Alice was directing people to treat the wounded. Her face was also tired, but more of it was the joy of surviving the disaster.
The old wizard stood on the platform, chanting ancient spells. The gentle elemental power blew across the earth like a spring breeze, healing the injured soldiers and residents.
"Zi'ang, let's go and help." Morpheus said softly, looking at the busy crowd.
Feng Ziang nodded and helped him walk towards Alice. Along the way, they saw many familiar faces, including Ladis, the owner of the blacksmith shop, and the owner of the bakery... They were all injured to varying degrees, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory.
"Feng Ziang, Morpheus, are you okay?"
When Alice saw us, she came over quickly, her eyes full of concern.
"We're fine, Alice, thank you for your hard work." Feng Ziang looked at her busy figure, his heart filled with gratitude.
“This is what we should do.”
Alice smiled and said, "By the way, the old wizard said that once the injured are settled, he will call a meeting to discuss rebuilding the home."
"Okay, I understand." I nodded.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the square of the Elemental Town. People sat around the bonfire, sharing food and telling stories of battle. Feng Ziang and Morpheus sat in the crowd, looking at the familiar faces and listening to their hearty laughter, their hearts filled with warmth.
"Ziang..." Morpheus suddenly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Kiss me."
On the platform, he scanned the crowd with a solemn look...
The old wizard's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the silent night sky. He described the cruelty of the war and also praised the courage and unity of the people.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Morpheus and said earnestly: "Please don't be sad, you have done very well."
The eyes of the crowd were all on us, and Feng Ziang felt the burden on his shoulders was heavy. Feng Ziang took a deep breath, stood up, took Morpheus' hand, and walked onto the platform.
"Everyone,"
Although Feng Ziang's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone, "We have experienced an unprecedented catastrophe, but we finally defeated the devil and protected our homeland. Now we have to separate, don't be sad!"
As soon as Feng Ziang finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the crowd. Feng Ziang looked around and saw faces full of hope and expectation, and his heart was filled with strength.
A tear brought Feng Ziang back to reality. It turned out that they did not defeat the demon army. All the people died and the world became desolate. Only charred and broken holes were left. Deep pits on the ground were emitting thick hot smoke.
Feng Ziang held the dying Morpheus in his arms, and then he remembered that everything was fake, and the illusion just now was his subconscious self-protection against the loss of his lover.
Morpheus was dead, his body pierced mercilessly by the devil. He clearly remembered that Morpheus stood in front of him to save him. To Feng Ziang, he just thought that Morpheus was as stupid as ever.
He could obviously survive, and he also understood why Morpheus said that the devil could not be defeated. The devil he saw had angel wings, and angels were also devils, so what kind of gods were worshipped by humans?
"You have killed me countless times, and angels will save me countless times. Demons and angels are like sunshine and darkness."
Feng Ziang thought of his original world, where the world-destroying gods descended and angels and demons were flying and fighting together...
As a first-level god in this world, Morpheus knows everything. He knows that Feng Ziang comes from the world where the gods from the upper realm live, and he also knows that the world he lives in will definitely be destroyed.
There are too many lives in the planes of the universe, and they are all consuming the energy of the universe. When the energy of the universe is about to be exhausted, some weak worlds will sacrifice themselves to feed back to the universe as energy, just like animals in the wild will eat their own children when they are weak, and humans will also eat the weak children in their families when they have no food.
As the weak in the dimensional universe, they are destined to be sacrificed, but Morpheus is not reconciled, because he is the god of this world, so he wants to rebel against the will of the gods in the upper realm. They unite with a god rebel to fight against the angel gods in the upper realm.
After Poseidon's death, Morpheus decided to take over this time. He also understood that the gods in the upper world would never listen to anyone's opinion when it comes to sacrificing a world, but he decided to join Feng Ziang's opinion and let him enter the so-called test.
What qualifications does a human being, a small messenger of God, have to deserve the Lord God to go against the will of all gods and take this test? Then there is only one possibility, that is, the Lord God wants Feng Ziang to become something.
But what can Morpheus do? Even if he is a first-level god in this world, he still cannot protect this world. What he can do is to instill his own thoughts into Feng Ziang's test, at least to let Feng Ziang understand that the god he has always respected also has another side.
"The gods and demons can control the life and death of mortals with a thought. Under the strong, you and I are all ants."
The demon from the elemental world plane did not kill Feng Ziang, he knew that this man did not belong here. He could kill Murfeas but could not kill Feng Ziang because Feng Ziang was a higher-level god. Similarly, Feng Ziang could not kill all the demons because the demons were just sent executors.
"Without demons, there would be no gods. How could humans respect gods? Selfishness and greed are blamed on demons, but no one would think about who released the demons. You followed humans to kill demons, but you didn't think that you also enjoyed the benefits of the demons. The worship you received is just another kind of killing. You and I are the same in nature."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I think you are very pitiful. You and I are just toys of the gods. The same is true for Morpheus, but he really thinks he is a god worshipped by humans. He should not die, but he disobeyed the order of the Lord God."
"You didn't kill me because I'm a higher-level god than your world."
“Is that so?”
"It could also be that I'm getting older, tired of living, and don't want to be bossed around anymore."
"Is there nothing we can do?"
"no"
"I never understood Morpheus. We have been colleagues for thousands of years, watching the evolution of human beings from fish in the sea to humans. Gradually, I found that Morpheus had more emotions towards life, but I didn't feel it, and I didn't want to understand. I thought it was better for him to die in my hands than in the hands of others. I heard that Poseidon died a miserable death."
"Why are you telling me this? I just feel so sad."
"You are powerless, you want to resist but you are powerless, just like you wanted to save him but he still died in my hands."
"Ah! Ah! Uh uh uh"
"Cry, cry, while you are still a child you can cry as much as you want"
"Morpheus"
"The weak have no choice but to accept it or resist until death."
"You still have value. At least you won't die now, hahahaha"
“When you have the ability, your love will be valuable”
The devil grabbed Morpheus' body, but it was like grabbing quicksand. In the devil's hand, Morpheus' body turned into quicksand-like starlight and slid down and disappeared bit by bit.
"Life is like a dream, and everything is fleeting like the quicksand of a river."
"You'd better become a god without emotions, otherwise you will be very miserable. It's best for the person who controls life and death to only know how to kill and not fall in love with your prey."
Feng Ziang watched as his lover gradually turned into starlight dust in the hands of the devil and ceased to exist forever. However, the memories of their time together would never disappear. There were a lot of memories in his body, and the more beautiful they were, the more painful they were.
The devil looked at Feng Ziang, said something calmly, and turned around to leave. This world had been destroyed, and no one would know where he had gone.
Every step the devil took made a loud noise. Gradually, in the distance, there was only a back covered with battle scars. As strong as the devil was, he now looked like an old man.
"Go back to your world, my beloved little angel"
