Xiao Chen was stunned. Paying the price of his life for only a 50% chance of success?
Is the Wolf God so powerful?
He had already seen how powerful the old patriarch was. No matter in that soul state or in his true form, he was very strong.
This original body...he is most likely not a match for it either.
Then, he thought of something.
Just now he said that he would settle the score with the old patriarch after he dealt with the Wolf God, but the latter said that there was no chance...
Now, he understood what it meant.
If you die, there will be no chance to settle the score, right?
"Besides, if I don't die, how can I explain to the werewolf clan?"
The old patriarch said slowly.
"I am a demon wolf, that is a fact...and demon wolves hunt werewolves, that is also a fact."
“…”
Amos and the elders remained silent. They knew that if this matter got out, the werewolf tribe would be in turmoil!
Previously, the news that Jim, the clan elder, was a member of the [Magic Wolf] spread, causing turmoil in the werewolf clan.
It can be seen what would happen if the news that 'the old patriarch is a demon wolf' got out.
"I will die to pay my respects and stop the Wolf God. This is also an explanation to my people."
The old patriarch said seriously.
"When the time comes, Amos, you will be the 'chief' and judge my crimes."
"No, maybe we have another way."
Amos looked at the old patriarch with a complicated expression.
His faith collapsed, and he still hasn't recovered.
But no matter what, the old patriarch is his idol, his belief, and someone he respects very much... Besides, his life was saved by the old patriarch.
If it weren’t for the old patriarch, there would be no Sirius Amos today!
If you ask him to judge the old patriarch's crimes, he may not be able to do it.
Even in his heart, he was very angry about the identity of the old patriarch, 'Demon Wolf'.
"There is no way."
The old patriarch shook his head.
"My life, and the lives of all the werewolves... Even though I only have a 50% chance of winning, I can still take a gamble. If I don't, it will be a disaster."
"If the Wolf God destroys the werewolf clan, will he be free?"
Amos asked, frowning.
"Um."
The old patriarch nodded.
"He wants to leave the Us Mountains, this is the only way..."
"Then why didn't he have this idea before?"
Amos asked again.
"He was not sure about the werewolf tribe at its peak, and he was not that strong at that time... His strength requires a process. Only by absorbing more and more soul power can he become stronger."
The old patriarch explained.
"After the death of those powerful wolf kings, clan leaders, and powerful werewolves, their spirits were devoured by the Wolf God and merged with him, making him even stronger..."
"In other words, the Wolf God protects the werewolf clan, but is actually keeping the werewolves in captivity so that he can devour the souls of more powerful people?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Yeah, about the same."
The old patriarch nodded.
"Haha, you werewolves are like leeks. You cut them over and over again. Every time you cut them, you become stronger... When you feel you are strong enough, you will uproot this leek field and leave here."
Xiao Chen looked amused.
"It's really a good idea. Leek is too strong, and he is afraid of it. Now, it's really a good opportunity... Leek is not at his peak, but he is very strong!"
"That's right."
The old patriarch smiled bitterly.
"After imprisoning the Wolf God, my father and I have been extracting the power of the Wolf God. On the one hand, we have been tempering ourselves, and on the other hand, we have been strengthening the werewolf tribe... For example, when Amos went to the ancestral land to train, I extracted the power of the Wolf God and gave it to him."
Hearing the old patriarch's words, Amos was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it and realized that the Wolf God was imprisoned, so how could he give him power?
"I use the power of the Wolf God to strengthen the werewolf clan, including the [Demon Wolf], firstly to increase its strength, and secondly to weaken the power of the Wolf God."
The old patriarch continued.
"Xiao Chen, including the power you have on the altar, the power that I have processed is also drawn from the Wolf God."
"The Wolf God treats you like leeks, and you are pretty cruel, treating the Wolf God as a source of power..."
Xiao Chen looked strange.
“I have discovered it.”
"What did you find?"
The old patriarch looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"The Wolf God is not a human, so he has no humanity at all, but you are a human, so you still have some humanity."
Xiao Chen said lightly.
“…”
The old patriarch was speechless. Was he praising him?
"Tell me about your plan. You're risking your life, but you only have a 50% chance of success... This is a bit low. Can you improve it?"
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and asked.
"It's difficult. Now that the Wolf God has left the altar, we can no longer draw his power... Moreover, we can't delay it for too long. The longer we delay, the stronger he will become. After all, the ancestral land is also full of energy, and there are so many ferocious beasts. If they are devoured by the Wolf God, then the Wolf God will become even stronger."
The old patriarch shook his head.
"In other words, your plan is to enter the ancestral land and fight the Wolf God with real weapons. Either he dies or you die?"
Xiao Chen asked while smoking a cigarette.
"No, whether he dies or not, I will die."
The old patriarch shook his head.
"Also, there is one thing I didn't lie to you about... I won't live much longer. This body is too old."
"Don't mention the body to me..."
Xiao Chen's face darkened. When this was mentioned, he thought of the old werewolf who was concerned about his body.
"I will activate my strongest state and fight the Wolf God. After this battle, regardless of success or failure, I will die."
The old patriarch said seriously.
"If I succeed and I kill the Wolf God, I may still exist in the world... but not in my current form. If I fail, the Wolf God will devour me and become even stronger. By then, it will probably be a disaster not only for the werewolf clan, but also for the entire world."
"Not in its current form?"
Hearing the old patriarch's words, Xiao Chen's heart moved.
"Like you said before? When you die, your spirit will merge with the Wolf God?"
"Yes, but there is a difference. If I can erase the will of the Wolf God, then my will will not be erased by him. At that time, it will not be a fusion, but I will become the new Wolf God, and control the power of the Wolf God with my will."
The old patriarch nodded and said.
"Another way of taking over someone else's body?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"almost."
The old patriarch nodded.
"Now that you have become the new Wolf God, can you leave your ancestral land and the Wusi Mountains?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"You can leave your ancestral land, but you cannot leave the Wusi Mountains. This is the Wolf God's restriction. If I become him, I will naturally have this restriction."
The old patriarch said.
"Then...will the story of a young dragon slayer becoming a dragon happen again?"
Xiao Chen stared at the old patriarch very seriously.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old patriarch was startled at first, then he remained silent and shook his head: "I don't know..."
"Xiao Chen, do you mean that after the chieftain becomes the Wolf God, he will devour the werewolf tribe in order to leave the Wusi Mountains?"
Amos looked at the old patriarch and asked Xiao Chen.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"That's very possible. Although the Wusi Mountains are huge, they are still too small compared to this world... It's okay for a short time, but if you are confined here for an infinite number of years, what's the difference between that and being imprisoned in the Wusi Mountains? The Wolf God is an example. He wanted to get out, even if it meant destroying the werewolf clan."
“…”
Amos and the elders all looked at the old patriarch. Will he be like this one day?
"Of course, it's also possible that the Wolf God had this idea from the beginning, so he kept you leeks around to harvest slowly..."
Xiao Chen added another sentence.
"But, I have to stay here for eternity. It's really scary to think about it... If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to bear it and would go crazy."
When saying this, Xiao Chen felt sympathy for the Wolf God for a few seconds.
For human beings, a hundred years of time is still relatively short.
But the Wolf God is different. He has been trapped in the Us Mountains for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Isolation from the world, and still in spirit form...I can't even sleep with a girl, it's so miserable.
Thinking about not being able to sleep with the girl, Xiao Chen curled the corner of his mouth. This Wolf God has become a psychopath after staying here, right?
But no matter who it is, they will probably become abnormal and crazy!
So, thinking about it this way, from the Wolf God's perspective, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
If these were the leeks he had 'planted' to help them become stronger and escape from this cage, then there was nothing wrong with that.
But as a 'leek', the leek will definitely not be able to bear it and will resist.
Different angles, different stances.
It's like people raising pigs, and when the pigs grow up, they eat them to fill themselves up and gain strength, or they sell them for money to make their lives better... From a human perspective, this is normal.
But from the pig's perspective...well, if the pig could resist, it would definitely resist.
"So, I don't know if I will be like the Wolf God after countless years..."
The old patriarch smiled bitterly.
"You certainly will."
Xiao Chen looked at the old patriarch with certainty.
"Think about it. You have already thought about becoming immortal. For this purpose, you have established the Demonic Wolf and want to possess my body... Even if you are doing it for the greater good and are willing to sacrifice yourself to destroy the werewolves, once you become a werewolf and have been trapped for a long time, you will definitely want to break free from this cage."
“…”
The old patriarch remained silent. He could not refute.
"If it were me, I would probably... do the same."
Xiao Chen put out his cigarette and continued.
"Some people may live longer, some may live shorter... If they really are immortal, that would be too scary."
Amos and the elders thought about it. If it were them, they would be immortal but they would never be able to leave the Us Mountains... It was indeed terrible. They could not guarantee that they would not have crazy thoughts of leaving.
"Then when I erase the will of the Wolf God, I will also try to erase my own will..."
The old patriarch was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly.
It was a very difficult decision to make.
Who wants to disappear into thin air when you can still be alive?
Even if it changes into a different form and has its own will, it can still be considered alive.
"In this way, there will be no future troubles... and the power of the Wolf God will dissipate in the ancestral land. The werewolves can enter the ancestral land to practice, and they should become faster and stronger."
