Monsters Will Die If They Are Killed

Chapter 25 Let's Meet the Returning God (8,200)

At the bottom of the sacred mountain in the morning, the vast sea of ​​scorching lava is still surging quietly deep underground, just like it has been for hundreds of years.

But when Ishar arrived here, he was keenly aware that there was a slight difference between this place and the center of the world in the past.

"the Lord?"

The knight looked up to the center of the lava sea in the distance. He was surprised to find that his own lord, who had been sleeping and only awakened for a while only when someone saw him, had already awakened.

[You are here, Ishaer.

Perceiving the arrival of his knight, above the lava throne, a gentle young man's voice sounded: [It's just coming.

When Ishaar arrived around the throne, he saw that in front of the throne, a four-color light screen flashed, and the four elements formed a three-dimensional map. The elements on it continued to circulate alternately to form a world.

With a glance, Yishaer could see that it was the element distribution map of the world he lived in!

The blue seas surround the brown continents, the blue wind circulates around the sky and the earth, and flames burn in the depths of the earth and the top of the sky... In addition, in every corner of the world, the elements are in alternating cycles. Rotating endlessly.

Originally, this should be the truth between heaven and earth, the normal state of the world cycle, but Yishaar can see that on the two continents of the Holy Fire and the New World, a total of six mighty blue torrents are converging and sinking into the south. In the distant sea of ​​meditation - and there, the incomparably rich blue is as deep as ink, as if something is gestating, giving people an aura of extreme anxiety.

But above the lava throne, the white-haired boy wearing the crown of the sun was smiling. He stared at the picture in the light curtain in front of him, smiling openly and gently.

In response, Ishaer was stunned.

In more than two hundred years, this was the first time he saw the Lord he believed in smiling so happily.

Since the knight became a god-blesser more than two hundred years ago, and he was excited to see God for the first time, the image of the Lord of Fire in his heart has always been gentle and gentle, like a bonfire in winter and the warm sun in the morning. Generally, give everyone a warm presence.

But the flame is the flame, and the sun is the sun. No matter how close you are to people, you will get burned if you get too close.If God walks in this world, the place where he is must be clear and dry, so for the sake of his people, God chooses to stay alone in the center of the world under the holy mountain, in the lava sea at the very bottom of the earth, isolated from the public.

Even if God descends, God is always high in the sky. As the second round of the sun, He does not directly descend on the ground. Apart from smiling, He will not express any extra happiness, anger, sorrow, or sorrow. The force of the rise rages and affects others.

And now, such a gentle god, at this time actually smiled so happily...

Who is it and what is it that can make the Lord laugh so happy?I have to say that Yisha's heart was a little jealous, but soon, the black-haired and golden-eyed knight abandoned such unnecessary thoughts. He knelt on the ground and reported to the burning master.

"My lord, do you know that there has been a large-scale criminal riot in the eastern region? The local priest said that they heard the oracle of the Lord of Judgment..."

[Oh, I already know.

The boy on the throne nodded slightly. He smiled and raised his head, looking at the top of the rock above the lava sea: [He is coming.

He is back.

[Although a long time has passed, he has indeed returned!

Then, Yishaar heard that the Lord's tone became a little pity.

[But unfortunately, he came back a bit late.

[The plans of the children in the sea are about to be completed.

"My lord,

Hearing this, Isaldon stood up when he was half kneeling in front of the Lord of Fire, and he angrily asked for instructions: "Please allow me to lead the team immediately to crush their delusions!"

[No need, and, come here, kid.

But the Lord of Fire shook his head and refused Ishal's request. When the knight approached his side in confusion, the white-haired boy stretched out his hand and pressed Ishal's forehead.

The touch is not as hot as imagined, it is as hot as the sun... the warm and soft touch in the center of the palm, just like a real human being.

Suddenly, Ishal had no time to think about anything in the future. A burning pain suddenly appeared on his forehead-the pain was flashing away, as if it was just an illusion, and he was motionless, standing like an iron tower. Ground.

After the Lord of Fire put down his hand, a scarlet flame mark appeared on his forehead, and the divine power pulsed in it, releasing a clearly visible majesty.

Then, the Lord of Fire looked at Ishaar for a while, and he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: [Let them become gods of water.

[Only in this way, the rioting water element will return to its place and return to the cycle of order.

"what?"

Hearing this, Isalton, who was still thinking about what God had left on his forehead, was taken aback, he immediately frowned and said, "How is this possible!"

"Those thugs in the sea clearly intend to subvert the existing element cycle in our world! They cut off the original cycle process and want to rudely turn the entire world's elements into water elements!"

"They even plan to start some'deep sea age', completely turning our world into a completely unknown appearance...How can this be called homing, the reincarnation of order?!"

The Lord of Fire shook his head, and there was no sorrow for the people of the sea in the gray eyes.

[This is indeed their goal-but this is indeed the reincarnation of order.

In the mind of the white-haired god, it appeared that a long time ago, abruptly appeared, then abruptly left, rejected the soul of water and the soul of earth, and became the figure of the god.

He said with some nostalgia: [The power of the soul of water is extremely powerful.No matter what era, there are a large number of water elements appearing in various forms, even in the era of burning fire, it is surrounded by white steam.

[If the children in the sea do not accept the soul of the source water, which has become increasingly chaotic, then maybe decades or hundreds of years later, a primitive and crazy, naturally born god of water will appear.At that time, He was not even a human being, and he would not understand our order. Maybe he would set off a huge wave of destruction, and we could not stop it.

"Why can't it stop?"

When I heard this, Isalton was confused. He folded his hands together and asked the burning Lord: "My lord, you are a god, and you are a god who is far stronger than those pirates, and much stronger than any newborn gods-except In addition, there is also the Lord of Wind and the Lord of Judgment... the three gods work together. How can pirates and the naturally-born God of Water stop them?"

[But the Lord of the Wind will not take action.

But the young man looked at Ishar calmly, and he faintly said the secret that had been concealed for hundreds of years: [His soul has already left this world, and only the last trace of remnant thoughts remains, forming a network of consciousness. The mind of the people maintains order.

[And I, most of the time, will not stay in this world-just as you have seen every time you come to see me in the past, it will take a long time for me to return.

Ishaer was stunned. Although he knew this situation, he had never thought of such a situation: "Then, that's for it again, why?"

The knight asked at a loss: "Why did the soul of the lord of the wind leave this world, and you..."

[Very simple.

The Lord of Fire sighed, and the white-haired young man raised his head. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the top of the rock and the world, straight into the void, becoming far away with a trace of sadness: [Our world, the distance from other worlds, is too far Far.

[All around our world are the ruins and dust left behind after the broken world.Apart from us, there is no other world... not only that, but Ishaar, the world itself, has a lifespan, and the lifespan of our world is particularly short. If we act unscrupulously in it without order, The reincarnation, then who knows that it can last for decades or hundreds of years?

It seems to be deliberately telling that the Lord of Fire and his god blessed each other, and he could see Ishar's shocked eyes, as if the worldview was broken.

With a chuckle, the young man turned his head and continued to look at the elemental light curtain in front of him. He lightly said: [For countless people, the god of wind left his body as the core of the consciousness network, and he used his soul to escape The world, wandering in the void, looking for a new world suitable for living.

[And I am also searching in the ruins of the surrounding world, searching for the dust of the available world, to fill the loopholes in our world.

[Neither I nor the Lord of Wind can stay in this world for a long time. Therefore, we guided the birth of the Lord of Judgment and maintained the order we designed to ensure that you can maintain a friendly and caring heart when we are away. ……

Speaking of this, the Lord of Fire seemed to recall the rebellion more than a hundred years ago, and he couldn't help but sighed: [But unfortunately, that order is flawed.

In addition, the young man's heart revealed the scene he saw when he was breaking away from the world barrier and coming to the void.

It is endless, the grey mist that covers the whole world.'

The gray mist enveloped the world. It originally absorbed the dust of the surrounding world and filled it into every corner of the world, maintaining the survival of the world of Tartadis, but... just when the god of wind and the young man came to the world. When outside, most of the gray fog receded, leaving only a little residue, no longer enveloping the world.

The memory of the Lord of Fire is clear.He knew that the gray fog was the symbol of the cycle of the elements, and it was also the hand behind the alternation between the maze of the underworld and the era... But now it seems that its true power is to maintain the existence of the entire world!If it were not for the reminder of the gray mist, he would not have known it, and he could also collect the dust of the world in the surrounding void to extend the existence of the world of Tartadis.

What kind of attitude does Grey Mist have towards them and their civilization?

The teenager did not know.

Moreover, it is not important anymore.

Withdrawing his thoughts, the Lord of Fire looked at Ishaer.

He calmly said: [You will inherit my position and become the new God of Fire.

"what?"

At the beginning, Ishaar was still a bit at a loss. He was still immersed in the shocking news that the life span of the world is not long. So at first, the knight did not understand what his god meant-- But soon, after he understood, he was shocked, and immediately stopped in place, bewildered: "What, what?!"

And on the lava throne, the Lord of Fire smiled and looked at Ishal: [You are a good boy, Ishal.For two hundred and thirty-seven years, since you became the blessing one, you have been working earnestly for the general public, settling their difficulties and solving problems for them.

[You have grown up and turbulent from the grassroots, all the way to become the gods, you perfectly understand all the keys to the operation of our order, you can even say that you know better than the designer of my code.

"No, God, I don't..."

[No, you understand.

When Ishar was trying to say something, the God of Fire stretched out his hand to signal his knight not to talk too much at this time. Then, the young god turned his head and looked towards the middle of the Holy Fire Continent, which was rapidly normalizing. The element rushed forward, and he said lightly: [Besides, you are also the only one who upholds my way until now.

[Don’t refute, Isha’er, don’t you know?Most of the gods, since they have a powerful force, no longer want to obey the precepts I set.

[They want to enjoy the glory and wealth, and enjoy their own rights...Of course, because I still exist, they still can’t eat luxurious food, so some of them took great pains to make luxurious food popular and not counted. Luxury-this is really not wrong.That's great, isn't it?I didn't expect that my commandment could still achieve this effect.

Speaking of this, the God of Fire laughed, but his eyes were not smiling: [Among the gods, there are more people pursuing stronger power, and more people pursuing power.There are too few people who just want to eat something delicious.

[I sincerely hope to make the world a better place, so that everyone can live happily. There are too few gods who want to maintain such an order without fear of fighting.

The young man on the god seat raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He closed his eyes tiredly and sighed: [They all want to be gods, but they are not willing to find their own way, but peek into my strength.

[So, I appointed you, child.

Ishar was still stunned at the beginning... Indeed, even he himself knew that there were a lot of people pregnant with ghosts in the Center of the Blessed One. Since the rebellion more than 100 years ago, it has shown God's injustice and weakness. Later, the minds of many gods and goddesses changed.

But soon, because he felt anxious and uneasy about the words of the Lord of Fire, the knight suddenly became a little angry.

"I'm not a child! My lord!" He frowned, shook his head angrily, and stretched out his hand to press on his chest: "I am your knight!"

"What appointed? What inherited your position? My lord, are you going to give up the position of God?!"

The Lord of Fire opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at Ishaer calmly. The two sides looked at each other, and Ishaar's mood gradually softened.

Until the end, he took a step back in silence, and then said blankly: "But... why?"

[The existence of the God of Water is necessary, but the Soul of Source Water repels the holders of other elemental souls. Before it is tamed by others, I can’t catch it-our forces interfere with each other, even A blind zone has formed on the sea.

Having said that, the Lord of Fire sighed wearily: [And for some reason I am not very clear, the power of the children on the sea is expanding too fast, it seems that there is an invisible power that does not come from our world. It’s the same as helping them behind... Originally in my plan, those children would need to spend hundreds of years to slowly find the whereabouts of the soul of the source water, and at that time, I could also calm the order in the holy fire a little bit. , And then worked out a brand new teaching treaty to make up for the previous cracks...]

[But now, the over-expanded Source Water Soul has encountered the over-expanded Sea People... I don’t know what the final result will be, but, or the newly born God of Water is extremely powerful, enough to replace the elements The order of rotation, or they are numerous, even more than me, the god of wind and the god of judgment combined.

The existence of the God of Water is necessary.But if the children in the sea really become the gods of water, then they will inevitably choose to counterattack the mainland—at that time, because I have been collecting the dust of the world for hundreds of years to maintain the world, I did not accumulate too much power. , I'm afraid I can't resist it.

Having said this, the white-haired boy smiled freely and freely. He stretched out his hand and straightened the crown on his head. It didn’t matter: [They have never guessed, how I plan to deal with them, I have been thinking I will I will not send my gods, there are many priests to fight against them.

[Let’s not talk about my gods’ blessings, and many of them have different intentions. They have made a lot of preparations. The sea is their home ground, so even if you crusade in the past, there will be many deaths and injuries. The whole world will be weakened by this. Civilizations that are easy to build will be completely degraded.

[I don’t want to do this.

The tone of the Lord of Fire was calm, and his voice echoed in the lava sea, making Ishar speechless: [And love is the strongest plan.

[Those selfish children never think of it. I don't mind dying or not. I just want to create a better order and let everyone live in a better world.

[Based on this, they can never guess and prevent my plan.

"My lord..."

And the knight was kneeling on the ground, he felt that even if he was in the lava, he couldn't stop the cold feeling from spreading on his spine.

Ishaer stared at the boy in front of him, the god he worshiped, and he muttered: "You, you mean..."

And the god stretched out his hand and gently touched the head of the knight he regarded as a child. He smiled and said: [Although I don’t have much strength, but I go into and out of the void all the year round, my soul has been tempered and powerful-as long as the time comes, I burn my soul, no matter what plans those children have, how can I prevent me from suppressing their souls and recovering the soul of the source water?

[As long as I am not afraid of falling, then my power is enough to burn all their centuries of plans, even if the power accumulated by the soul of water is far more powerful than me, but it can't stop me from setting the era on this basis-the god of wind The soul of the wind has been entrusted to me, and the soul of the earth...In short, when the four souls gather, the true gods will be born, and that must be a much more perfect and beautiful era than the current era.

With that said, the young man touched Ishaer’s forehead, and he smiled openly: [And then, you will become the new Lord of Fire, or to say, The god of the gathering of the four souls-Yisha'er, you are my heir, fulfill my way and establish a brand new order.

After hearing the words, Yishaer was not only not happy, but pale.

The Blessed One stood up, he backed two steps, avoiding the hand of the Lord of Fire, and then let out a low growl: "Why?"

"God, why do you have to do this kind of thing and still use this kind of duty to persecute me?! How can you be so presumptuous...speak your death?!"

Faced with Ishal’s accusation, the Lord of Fire just shook his head slightly: [I am not persecuting you, Ishal, but if you believe in me, you should do so.

"Aren't you persecuting me with your faith?"

Ishaer couldn't believe it. He waved his hands, and the sign of rejection was so strong: "I believe in you. I hope you will always be above the throne of God and lead us forward like the sun!"

"I am willing to die for you, not for us!"

At the end of the talk, Ishal gritted his teeth and stared at the god sitting on the lava throne in front of him, and said word by word: "My lord, do you want a dog that only obeys your commands or a dog The knight who died for you?!"

Even the Lord of Fire didn't expect Ishaar's willingness to resist so firmly.

In the Sanctuary of Fire, almost all the gods are thirsting for stronger power or rights. This is not a bad thing, but a human-based self-motivated spirit. Those who eager for progress should not be demanded, even if Some of them are trying to conquer the power of the Lord of Fire, which is not a big deal.

The white-haired god thought that Ishal would gladly take over this responsibility and take over this huge and enviable power-that is the gathering of the four souls, which surpasses ordinary gods and can even communicate. The power towards a higher realm-He didn't expect that the other party's loyalty to him was so loyal that he could refuse this temptation.

why?

The memory of the god goes back. He recalls the scene where he was still in the world and led the first people of fire to build their homeland nearly three hundred years ago, at the beginning of the elementary calendar.

At that time, there was such a boy who followed him all the time.

[Child, why are you following me?

The god at that time leaned down, asked the other person gently, and wiped the sweat off the child's head.

And the ignorant boy was a little silly and authentic: "The city you built for us is so big and beautiful. I have never lived in such a big and warm house!"

"So I want to learn, wait until the future, when I grow up, I also want to build many, many bigger and better houses for you, for everyone!"

Isha'er, indeed built a lot of temples for himself.

For so many years, he has been busy at the grassroots level, building many'houses'.

I built the foundation and the frame, but the order of the world, the flesh and blood and decorations of this house, were built by themselves.

——Because God has built a beautiful order for man, man wants to defend this beautiful.

In other words, what Ishar wants to follow may not be a god who wants to give up his duties in his opinion, so he will be angry... In fact, what he is following is actually the one that makes everyone A happier road than before.

Just like himself-he walks with himself, so he believes.

The reason for following...maybe it is that simple.

There was a long silence, and then God smiled softly.

[I don’t want it either.

He still smiled gently, staring at Ishar, as always: [What I want is a wise man who can walk with me and pioneer the way — I don’t need a dog who questioned me, I don’t need a dog A knight who will die for me-I need a fellow who can understand my thoughts, understand my doctrine, and follow my philosophy.

[What I need is that after I leave, someone can raise my banner, re-board my position, and maintain the kingdom and order I created.

[I need such an existence.

"understanding……"

Repeating this word in a low voice, Ishaer stared at the Lord of Fire who could still laugh in front of him. He could not understand why there is a god who could give up his life so easily. He laughed first. After a cry, he laughed loudly: "What understanding?! We cannot understand each other, fathers cannot understand sons, and daughters cannot understand mothers!"

"My lord, your church is secretly going against your will! They are eyeing with the pirates, they covet your power and authority, they have ghosts in their hearts, let alone believe in you!"

"What exactly are you looking for? Understanding? This is more incredible than your claim of freedom and life from us!"

And the god stared at the opponent in silence, until the voice echoing in the lava sea gradually dissipated and became calm.

And in the bursting sound of the lava bubble, He simply said: [But this is faith.

[I need to suppress the souls of the four elements and set the epoch, and a new Lord of Fire will appear to stabilize the order and protect the survival and happiness of all people-He can continue to collect the embers of the surrounding world as our world’s Fuel, maintain the existence of the world, and sacrifice yourself at the most important juncture to create a new era.do you understand?Becoming a god is not a gift, this is what I demand of you.

[Isal, if you love me more than the way of loving me, it means that you do not believe in me at all, but only worship and love me.

[The distance between faith and worship is far greater than heaven and earth.

Do you believe in me, or just worship me?

The voice of the Lord of Fire caused the elements of the entire lava sea to boil.

The power of the majestic fire element agitated in the center of the world, causing the viscous magma to set off layers of waves, clashed against each other, and splashed into the sky.

Ishaar felt the scorching heat on his forehead, and he tremblingly stared at the Lord of Fire who was staring at him, and then couldn't help crying.

He has begun to accept, but still can’t let go. The knight walks towards the lava throne step by step, muttering: "God, is there only one way? Is there only one way to go? Is there no other way for you Will the turbulence of this element be calmed?"

[Naturally there is, but I can only choose to sacrifice myself. I have no right to let others sacrifice for me, even if that person is willing to die for me.

And the Lord of Fire laughed. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Yishal’s forehead again, branded with the scorching God of Fire, and the young man calmly said: [If you want to change something, do it yourself. There is no sinless sacrifice, only oneself, otherwise it is a mistake.This is what I learned in the last era.

but now……

And speaking of this, his expression can't help but become a little complicated. The Lord of Fire raised his head, and he looked straight ahead, his gray eyes seemed to be able to see through the thick rocky earth, directly seeing the far away, slowly approaching huge fluctuation.

Far away.

Elementary calendar year 307, July 5th.

In the middle of the torch continent, on the avenue near the central holy city, a mighty group of people was walking.

Their dresses were simple, their faces were full of sadness in the past, and most of their bodies were mutilated, either with broken hands or feet, or with marks on their faces.

But now, their limbs are all new and can be used freely, as if they had never been lost.

"Righteousness!"

Loud and loud shouts sounded, and the sound of flag dancing was hunting in the wind.

A dark-skinned old fisherman carried a flag. His eyes were bright and his will was reduced. Old Chuck waved the flag, and then shouted: "Justice!"

Subsequently, the whole team also shouted in unison: "Justice!"

It can be seen that this old fisherman who lost his hands in the past has a pair of white novices at this moment-although he has never experienced wind and frost, and even bubbling because of the long waving of the flag, he still refuses to let go, and still waves vigorously.

And the gray-haired priest walked at the front of the team, and Ammon led the team of these'sinners' forward, all the way forward, and strode towards the central temple.

There is no need for your own god to walk ahead.

As a walker with God, the apostle of judgment will blaze a trail and fulfill the way he identifies.

At the end of the team, Su Zhou followed everyone behind, watching the team's continuous growth and moving forward firmly.

Then, he seemed to have noticed something, and the young man turned his head to the side with doubts on his face.

"Is that you? Elias?"

As if he had noticed the Lord of Fire's gaze, Su Zhou lowered his head sharply and looked into the depths of the earth. The purple dragon pupil seemed to penetrate the thick earth to the very center of the world.

Then he laughed: "Long time no see, I'm back!"

——You are back, teacher.

The sea of ​​lava, the god of fire, who had been sitting on the seat for a long time, slowly got up in the shocking gaze of Ishar and left the seat of lava.

In two hundred years, this is the first time He has left the throne of God and stepped on the earth with both feet.

[I think there can be no other way.

The young god looked up at the rock dome, and he muttered in a low voice: [But for that person, perhaps there is nothing impossible in the world.

But even so, He just smiled and smiled lightly.

[But I cannot put hope on other people.I must try to transcend this cycle by myself, even if the cost is death.

[Let's go, Ishaer.

With that said, the God of Fire stepped towards the passage away from the core of the world, the lava sea, and the knight followed the god.

[Let us meet, the god who has finally returned.
