Chapter 801 Everyone is in trouble
The addition of reindeer enthusiasts gave the team a clearer navigation route. The direction seen from the eyes of the old witch, the goddess of tears, was too general, but this time Hui Nian Niang can barely be regarded as a good guide.
The book of spoilers was in Milo's hands, and he didn't panic at all.
…
There was no resistance on the next journey. The Southern Territory lived up to its name of being forgotten. Most of the islands were still in their original state, and even the local civilization had ancient madness. There was a wild atmosphere, and even some islands were inhabited by uncivilized barbarian tribes. For many days in a row, the snake ship did not encounter even a single Bloodborne believer at sea, and the days suddenly became boring.
And if we want to say that the most annoying person in the team, it must be the snake man prince whose status has dropped thousands of miles.
Wotty Ig.
At the end of last month, he was still showing off his power in the Golden Kingdom. With his reputation as the father of snakes, he easily controlled the golden people, acting like a small and medium-sized boss.
Who would have thought that after returning to his hometown, he would be demoted back to his original form, even worse than before, directly becoming the followers of these damn humans.
It is definitely a lie to say that it does not hold resentment. From the time when it was still conceived in its mother's womb, the resentment from the mother's body was one of the nutrients for its development. This also molded Woti Yi as an adult. The morbid character of the character.
But in the final analysis, what he loves and fears most in his heart is the great Igor. This love and fear transcend everything. All unwillingness and resentment towards Milo can be temporarily put aside.
He did not dare to disobey Ige's will, nor did he want to disobey it.
As for the task of being a follower, he could not help but do his best, just to please his father.
So that day at the edge of the settlement on the Zar Islands, the location where the strange vision first appeared was actually under the deep sea. A certain giant beast in the trench was awakened by a divine envoy and was ordered to intercept the snake ship. Woti ·Iger directly fought with the opponent without thinking.
This was the tremor coming from below the sea that was first felt by everyone on the deck at that time.
...
Although he is whitewashed and weak, he is still the son of the father of snakes and the earth goddess Coatlicue. He can easily capture a beast lurking in the deep sea.
But due to the old injuries on his body, Woti Ige still suffered a bit. Many of the black scales that had just grown on his body were lifted up again, bleeding in the sea water.
The most painful moment has come.
When he killed the sea beast and dragged his exhausted body back to the sea to look for the snake boat, he found that the sea was calm and the group of people had left in his boat for a long time.
…
…
Compared to what happened to this daddyissue patient, in another corner of the world, there is another unlucky guy who is also experiencing the heaviest pain in his long life. Trials and torture.
That is Imnar who returned to the Gouzhi Temple.
This ancient fraudster who has always believed that chaos is the ladder of progress, adheres to his will, from being lost to finding himself, from the waking world to the abyss.
As the earliest Old Dominator in this era who tried to deceive the gods into gaining access to the star core Azadi, Imnar did not participate in the Blood Moon catastrophe, not because it was more intelligent than the gods, but simply because it At that time, he was imprisoned in the prison of Kadasi for the whole time, and this also allowed him to reap the many fruits left in this godless era in disguise.
For example, there is nowhere to place the faith under the major temples.
Just like the Golden Law Temple’s plan to use sharp blades as a carrier of faith, all major temples have similar remedies.
The gods have left, but there are still many delicious and lazy old days in the temple. Although there are greater risks in doing so, compared with the result of the country under the temple being eaten away by faith worms, the old days As a carrier of faith, we have no choice but to temporarily save this part of the faith that should be submitted to the gods.
This is spring in Imnar.
Its fractal rules are enough for it to transform into any existing Old One ruler in the Dreamland.
Before that, it conspired with the guy who called himself Crow to assassinate a former member of the Gouzhi Temple, so that Imnar could replace the identity of the priestess and become a member of the Gouzhi Temple.
Then there was the beating he received in Draslien City.
If it weren't for the curse that took root in his mind, how could Imnar, who had successfully escaped, take Milo's threat to heart.
Kemalo only gave it three months. Once the three months are up, the fear in its heart will drive itself to sing the music that summons the old god Pagon.
Just imagine, if you personally summon the God of Plague who exiled your father, what will be the outcome?
Just thinking about it made Imnar start to shiver.
There are not many choices in front of it.
The first is to find the Three Ladies of Sorrow, which was directly ruled out by Imnar.
It probably knows something about the origins of these three old witches, and will never take the initiative to provoke them.
As for the second request, to help Milo find the girl named "Enid Kent", this option was also excluded because Enid is the search target of the three sad ladies. The first and second choices The choice is actually the same option.
Then the only option left is to help Milo find Aegon, who was refined into a god embryo.
……
This is not difficult.
In Draslien City, it was the beaten Imnar, but in Gouzhi Temple, it was still the old priestess who was in the first echelon of combat power.
In this position, it can not only use its status as a priestess to share the power of faith from low-level believers, but it also has the ability to manage some in-depth affairs of the temple.
It easily found Aegon, the embryonic god, deep in the temple. Naturally, I also learned about the so-called god-making plan that is currently referring to the top officials of the temple.
In their theory, the will of the gods will not disappear, they just go to distant places, and the suitable divine embryo can become a brand new body of the god. Once a suitable opportunity is found, the god's will can be brought to one of the divine embryos.
But before that, they need to temper the divine embryo many times to make it strong enough to accommodate the will of the god.
Refining the incarnation embryo with the blood of the ancient dragon is only the first step, and the most important subsequent step is to test the ability of the divine embryo to accept the power of faith.
Otherwise, even if the will of the gods returns and comes, but the weak body cannot accept the faith from believers, it will be of no avail. A weak god is useless.
So while the Golden Law was deliberately planning to kill Milo, the silent Gouzhi Temple was actually focused on tempering the divine embryo.
Countless divine embryos were successfully refined from various temples and transported to Gouzhi Temple. During this period, almost 99% of the divine embryos died suddenly because they could not accommodate the power of faith. Every day The remains of the god embryos that were either crazy or shattered were thrown into the furnace and burned.
…
When Imnar found Aegon, she was also undergoing the test of containing the power of faith.
Compared to those nagging elder priests in the temple, the old Imnar obviously had a higher theological background, and he could actually see the problem at a glance.
There is no problem with the theory of testing the divine embryo to accommodate the power of faith, but these low-end souls who have lived for a long time but have only received blessings and never received faith do not understand at all that the power of faith does not The divine embryo will die suddenly. What really makes the divine embryo die is the large amount of mixed and despicable human nature mixed within the faith.
That contains all love and hate, love and hatred.
The yearning for gods comes from the cognition of every low-level believer, and the depth of his soul is either noble purity or despicable greed, anger and ignorance.
For a thousand believers, there will be a thousand interpretations of God's teachings.
These good and bad chaotic thoughts and emotions are compressed into one brain at once, and there are only two outcomes: death or madness.
This is also the reason why all superiors from ancient times to the present must cut off their humanity. As long as they want to draw immortal power from faith, they must completely cut off the source of their humanity.
It was the series of "bewitching remarks" Imnar made to Milo in the opera house that day.
In fact, it tells the truth.
…
…
The elders of Gouzhi Temple infused the power of faith into Aegon’s body and soul.
Also started the countdown to her death.
Seeing that the little kid named Aegon was about to be torn apart by the horrible mess of human nature, Imnar had no choice but to take over the mess and make it a mess. The bad roots of human nature.
Collect it in your own mind.
…
“It’s done…”
“The divine body is done!!!”
“This child can hold on!!!”
In the Temple of the Finger, Aegon survived, and she received a large amount of power of faith.
The senior officials of the temple were ecstatic.
…
Outside the temple, Imnar was frantically suppressing his wails in a deserted corner.
Its pupils and its soul are being eroded by the terrifying humanity at this moment.
It underestimated the "toxicity" of this thing that even the gods were unwilling to touch.
I thought I could control them, but the fact is that it has played countless roles in the long years, but it has never really touched the depth of these characters' souls, whether they are excellent or good. It's bad human nature.
Amidst the wailing, some strange changes were quietly taking place in Imnar's body.
It knew it had made a very serious mistake, but it didn't know which one was more terrifying than facing Pagon directly.
…
...
Compared to Imnar who escaped from the abyss after all the hardships, there is actually a more tragic plot happening in another corner of the world.
People were trying their best to escape from the abyss, but this old man was desperately trying to get into the abyss.
That's you, Hastings.
Since receiving the secret guidance of the Thinking Eye, he has firmly followed the footsteps of the golden tree, crossing mountains and rivers, and reaching the desolate waking world...
