He had good control over his emotions by not exploding on the spot.

certainly,

There is also the reason of uncertainty.

The reason why he was so angry was not only because the Third Elder almost took him with him when he died.

besides……

The will of the evil god!

At the moment of killing the third elder, an inexplicable aura silently seeped into his body.

Cold, slippery, deep, scary...

In a moment,

Carl seemed to see a frozen universe and transparent time, and his consciousness almost sank into it on the spot.

Even though the Third Elder's body was already torn into pieces, that aura was still there, and no matter how many methods he used in secret, he was unable to get rid of it. In fact, if it weren't for the fragments of the divine realm in his inner sea of ​​​​spirituality, even his consciousness would have been invaded.

By then.

Carl will also become a puppet like the Third Elder! Although the situation is not so bad now, it is certain that Carl has been targeted by the evil god from the outer domain.

Once the Moon Goddess's solution completely collapses, the 'evil god' will immediately appear beside him.

Damn it!

"God's messenger."

Hume's cautious voice sounded: "The ice below is blooming."

"Um."

Carl took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation and worry in his heart, and lowered his head to look at the ice below.

Then he said, "You stay here, I'll be back soon."

"yes."

They both should be.

Carl turned into a line of fire and rushed towards the ice below. After a few flashes, he disappeared into the solid ice.

…………

"boom!"

A frozen stone door was smashed open by a huge force, and the scattered stones rolled back and forth in the empty hall.

Carl walked into the hall in the dust and looked at the statue standing in the middle.

“This is it.”

In addition to the statues, there are also various supplies necessary for the temple base and various materials collected by later generations.

Compared with the second elder’s base, the amount of divine fire and divine gifts is extremely small.

This is understandable.

Everyone in this base has been frozen to death, and with no one to send them to work, of course not much can be collected.

God's Grace Coins, Wonderful Items, Magic Seals, Martial Arts Inheritance...

Carl opened the void bag, put all the things into it, and finally stood in front of the sculpture.

"According to Grand Duke Joe, the reason why Third Elder Yev betrayed the church and stabbed the bishop in the back and fled here was because of differences in ideology."

"Compared to Yev who is obsessed with reviving the Moon Goddess, the leader of the temple, the Bishop, is not very enthusiastic about it."

"And because he discovered that the 'bishop' had committed blasphemous acts, Yev committed the act of 'betrayal'."

Karl stroked his chin and thought:

"But what does Joe mean by the secret of the gods?"

As the most loyal believer of the Moon Goddess, the second elder Yev's faith collapsed and he turned to the evil god from outside the world.

It’s because of the discovery of this secret.

even.

This is also related to the fact that the bishop no longer persisted in resurrecting the Moon Goddess and instead committed blasphemous acts.

'Joe' didn't know what the secret was. Although Yev had abandoned his faith, he still kept the secret.

I just know it has something to do with the sculpture in front of me.

The sculpture in the center of the hall is about ten meters high. It is the incarnation used by the Moon Goddess when she walked on earth.

Most gods do not have a specific "appearance", and carvings often use certain "similar objects" to represent them.

For example, the god of thunder is carved as thunder rather than a human statue.

Even carving human figures was considered a blasphemous act in ancient times.

“Hmm…”

"Divinity?"

Carl turned his head and looked at the chest of the sculpture.

to be honest.

The feminine qualities are sculpted to perfection.

The location of the heart is very indecent, and as a believer, you will certainly not pay too much attention to the abnormality here.

On the contrary, Carl is particularly sensitive to the divine personality because of the fragments of the divine domain inside his sea of ​​consciousness.

I noticed something was wrong right away.

After thinking for a while, he flicked his fingers.

“Crack!”

A streak of light hit the heart of the sculpture, and with a crisp sound, the goddess sculpture broke into countless pieces.

The fragments did not fall to the ground, but instead rotated in the air, gradually piecing together into another shape according to some pattern.

"This is……"

Carl looked surprised.

The sculpture in the field was reduced to about six meters, and the moon goddess was still there, but she was nestled in a man's arms.

"Mars!"

"turn out to be……"

Karl may not know much about other gods, but the God of War is very familiar with him. After all, the fragments of the divine domain in his inner sea of ​​​​spirituality come from this god.

"The Moon Goddess and the God of War are actually a loving couple!"

“That’s not right!”

Carl frowned:

"Both the Moon Goddess and the God of War are ancient gods. According to the poems left by the gods, the ancient gods seem to have a special relationship with each other, similar to brothers and sisters, who cannot love each other."

“Hmm…”

“No wonder the sculpture is so hidden.”

He shook his head slightly and was about to turn around and leave when the sculpture in front of him suddenly exploded and turned into a stream of light that sank into his body.

* * * On the way back, Carl kept his eyes closed and thinking.

"I see!"

I don’t know how long it took.

Carl opened his eyes, and the tape sighed: "The Moon Goddess and the God of War were a pair of lovers. Because of the prophecy of the Goddess of Fate, the God of War was attacked by the gods and finally died at the hands of the 'God King'."

"And the Moon Goddess, in order to avenge her lover, backstabbed the 'God King' and became the new Lord God."

"Unfortunately, she herself was assassinated and died at the hands of a mortal-made God-killing Spear!"

"When she was dying, the Moon Goddess used the power of the Lord God to create a barrier covering this world, blocking the gods from outside."

in this way,

The answers to the previous puzzles are now available.

Why did the God of War still leave a piece of the divine domain behind when surrounded by the gods, and give Carl the opportunity?

Naturally, it was the Moon Goddess who did it secretly.

Only the Moon Goddess, whose power is second only to the 'God King' and the 'God of War', can do this.

same.

Why has no one received the blessing of the Moon Goddess for thousands of years, except Carl?

It's not just because the Moon Goddess has fallen, the remaining divine power is used to maintain the operation of the barrier.

Moreover, because Carl possessed the fragment of the 'God of War's' divine domain, he enjoyed preferential treatment as the successor.

It's a kind of preference.

"In that case, it seems only natural that I should inherit the temple."

Karl touched his chin and thought: "The Moon Goddess has put a lot of thought into her lover. She must have known that the heir with the fragment of the God of War's domain would come to this world, and she left behind a method for becoming a god. In this way, in a place where there are no other gods, I am the only one who can spread the faith, and naturally I will become the only god in this world."

"and even……"

"The next Lord God!"

That’s right!

The message stored in the statue was left to him by the Moon Goddess, including the method of becoming a god.

Until the seventh-order main god's method! "What a pity!"

Carl shook his head slightly:

"If you become a god by relying on faith, the gods will also be constrained by faith. Even if I become a seventh-level main god, I will never be able to leave this world."

The Moon Goddess obviously wanted him to become the protector of this world, which was also not what Carl wanted.

If the person who is chosen has not seen other worlds and has only this world in his vision, then he will most likely not refuse.

But since I have seen the vast astral world, and there is also the path of wizard as an option, why would I let myself be bound to one world? (End of this chapter)
