Riding and Slashing

Chapter 342 The High King's Plan
After understanding the function of the power of faith, many various 'gods' appeared in the whole world.

These 'gods' struggles for faith are not much different from the civil wars of the Sindarin elves.

These artificial gods who have gained the power of faith will not only drive believers to launch a "sacred war", but also occupy the souls of believers in the form of "coming down", obtain the flesh of believers, and use spells to join the battle naked.

These believers who provide physical bodies are called "God's Chosen Ones", and they are actually consumables that God sees...

Regardless of whether these 'gods' are true gods or not, at least they are all superhuman beings. These superhuman beings will end up fighting in person, and the consequences will naturally be more serious.

The whole world began to lose control, wars broke out one after another, disasters came again and again, and the devastated people were devastated.

Thousands of years ago, the world's population dropped sharply to only one-third, and all the "gods" also suffered huge losses.

At this time, a powerful existence gave these 'gods' a warning.

The bodies of all the gods, that is, the spirit bodies, were pulled out of the bodies of the "God's Chosen Ones" almost at the same time, and were exiled into closed voids one by one.

It was nothingness, nothingness, chaos.

Therefore, these novices who have just become gods from humans know that there is such a powerful existence in this world that can silently lock them all into isolation.

After revealing this warning, all the gods were brought into a strange temple—the temple where Li Ang was.

That unknown powerful existence is called the 'Creator God' by the gods.

But in fact, no one knows what this existence is, and they have never seen him, because the Creator God said that he cannot enter the world he created.

The gods only saw a little white dragon - this is the temporary body of the Chuangshi God.

This powerful "Creator God" is actually quite reasonable. He told these "Gods": With the lessons learned by the Sindari elves, if you continue to fight like this, the world will only perish, so I have to give you a warning.

But as long as you abide by the rules in the future, you will not be imprisoned in the void.

The rules are very simple - no matter who it is, as long as it is a spiritual body that has obtained the power of faith, it is not allowed to appear in front of anyone again, nor is it allowed to have a physical body.Whoever wants to gain more faith should guide people to live a better life, bring people more hope, and let believers choose voluntarily.

That is to say, the struggle between human beings can only be resolved by human beings, and the gods are not allowed to personally participate in the disputes on the earth, and the gods are not allowed to use coercive methods to obtain believers, and the gods are not allowed to launch any disasters that will lead to the extinction of species. ——The spontaneous behavior of human beings is understandable, but the gods have the responsibility to guide their followers to be good.

If you violate these rules, you will be banished to the void forever, and your mana will be sealed, depriving you of your qualifications as a 'god'.

In order to reduce disputes among these gods, Chuangshi God also made it impossible for all spirits to lie and deceive—from then on, spirits can hear other people's thoughts, and naturally they cannot deceive and hide.

At the same time, the Chuangshi God gave each god a code of rules. This code means the qualification of a "god", and it is also a door to and from the void.

If you stop fighting, strictly abide by the rules, and bring more hope to people, you can enter the void at any time to create a brand new soul world you want-this is a reward for the "god" who obeys the rules. The soul space is equivalent to giving them a chance to become a 'creator god'.

This is a very fair rule, there are punishments, rewards, qualification certificates and visions...

As long as the gods don't fight in person, no matter how they fight, there will be a limit, at least it won't destroy the world like the Sindari elves.

After that, the various gods were put back, and then they discovered that the rules set by the 'Creator God' would indeed be implemented in place.

The first violations of the rules were some minority beliefs, such as Ficavia, which advocated women's rights-the Kingdom of Ficavia was named after her, but there was no country established on Ficavia Island at that time.

Since she attracts believers with the logic of feminist supremacy, her believers are only the women of Ficavia Island, and it is really difficult for her to fight against humans alone.

In a war with the old Bacchus Empire, in order to avoid the destruction of the believers, she occupied a physical body and went to fight in person.

The war was indeed won, and the isolated island became an independent kingdom smoothly, but Ficavia's spirit body was also exiled to the void and never returned.

All the 'gods' understood now that the rules mentioned by the Creator God are actually the new rules it has set for this world.

Of course, they also understand that the new rules of the Creator God are only to protect the world, and the struggle of supernatural beings can easily bring about disasters that destroy the world—especially among the gods, there are non-mainstream such as the "God of Plague".

After this, the world was a little more peaceful.

The gods, who were forced to abide by the rules and did not dare to appear in front of people, began to consider how to motivate their believers to contribute more power of faith.

They unanimously began to attack the souls of believers-if people's souls have a destination, immortality, wouldn't they be able to provide themselves with faith forever?

At the same time, the God of Creation allows God who does not violate the rules to open up a soul space by himself, so that the souls of believers can live in it...

The first to succeed was Astalia, the goddess of justice, who opened up a 'Kingdom of Heaven' to accommodate her followers.

She feels that spirit bodies cannot lie and deceive each other, and everyone can see clearly what others are thinking, which is tantamount to a perfect blessed land.

She hopes that after the death of believers, their souls can enter this heaven without deceit and lies, and enjoy eternal blessings.

Originally, this was really out of good intentions—to benefit those staunch believers, to bring more hope to people, and of course God can get more faith.

Lady Justice believes that lies and deceit prevent people from doing good.

Among her teachings, 'no deceit' is also the first one - Sir Roland, a paladin, has never lied.

However, there are not many good people like Roland, and the vast majority of believers have evil thoughts in their hearts. In this heaven where all thoughts can't be hidden, almost every believer can only have one thought - to kill other souls, and then he can A sense of security.

Thus, the so-called kingdom of heaven, like raising Gu, created a bunch of twisted evil spirits.

These evil souls formed after mutual devouring and fusion have become very complicated, and they are no longer the original believers of the goddess of justice.

She also has no way to prevent the souls of believers from entering the kingdom of heaven—just as the creator god cannot appear in this world, Astalia cannot appear in the world she created, which is also the law of the world.

It was originally intended to let the souls of the believers continue to contribute to her faith, but unexpectedly, after the believers came in, they all became fusion monsters that devoured their souls, and they all began to curse her...

The goddess of justice also has a temper. The evil spirits in the kingdom of heaven cursed too badly. In her rage, she turned the environment of the kingdom of heaven into an abyss full of blood and fire.

As a result, the environment in the kingdom of heaven is even worse, and the evil spirits inside have become more distorted, and have even become another species.

A heaven was opened up, but in the end, there was no benefit, but a bunch of new evil species were created instead.

In order to make up for the loss, Astalia had no choice but to send an oracle in a dream, telling her believers to strengthen their beliefs, otherwise they will enter the abyss of blood hell after death...

Both rewards and punishments serve the same purpose—both make believers stronger in their faith.

Thus, the kingdom of heaven became the abyss of blood hell.

Slowly, under the influence of long-term negative emotions, some extremely powerful "devourers" gradually emerged among the evil spirits in the "Kingdom of Heaven", and the strong among them can even project their will onto the earth like other gods ——Also through dreaming or inducing the subconscious.

After gradually becoming known, they were called abyssal demons.

In fact, these demons can also be regarded as a new generation of "gods", because they obtain soul power in the same way as gods - they are all spirit bodies, they are all inducing others to worship themselves, and they all obtain mana from belief.

Moreover, these are some evil spirits who will do anything to increase their strength, and they have not accepted the warning of the Creator God.

In fact, these demons are not bound by the rules of the Creator God at all—they are actually residents of the new world created by Astalia, and it should be Astalia who can make rules to restrain them, not Creation god.

But all the gods ignored the situation at the time.

However, other gods no longer dare to allow other souls to enter the soul space they created.They realize that anything can happen in a new world, and one carelessness can cause catastrophic consequences like Astalia's.

They only made the space bestowed by the Chuangshi God into the ideal residence they wanted—perhaps the original intention of the Chuangshi God was to give them a place to live so that they would not appear again...

But none of the gods expected that the disaster caused by the demons was much greater than they imagined.

Many years later, the demons of the abyss induced the believers of the goddess of justice, and the "devourer" appeared on the earth through the code of rules given to Astalia by the creator god, that is, the gate of the abyss.

All the gods were initially unaware of the presence of demons.

It wasn't until horrible disasters happened frequently in various places that the gods began to panic—their believers were devoured by the abyss demon one after another, and the demons forced people to become walking dead in a coercive way.

This is a brand-new growth method developed by the devil after gaining the power of faith, combined with the environment of the abyss of the blood prison - directly devouring the soul.

Gaining faith is like doing business, but devouring it directly is equivalent to grabbing it all. Of course, the latter is faster...

Humans call it the 'Evil Eye', that is, Egrim the Devourer.

Of course, what the Devourer did violated the rules of the world, but the gods never expected that the rules of the world would not sanction it...

Of course there will be no sanctions because they are not in violation - they are not of this world.

The gods dare not fight in person, because they will be sanctioned by the rules of the Creator God.

Besides, they may not be able to handle the gloomy eyes... so most of the gods hid in their soul space and watched coldly.

And humans alone cannot resist the demons' soul spells...

By 370 years ago, the threat of abyssal demons intensified as the gods watched.

The situation on the Buckley continent is the most dangerous. If the Devourer is not stopped, the entire continent may become walking dead.

At the juncture of the life and death of the believers, Astalia, the goddess of justice, finally let go of everything. She decided to violate the rules of the world and personally appeared to deal with the demons.

After all, the goddess of justice is still full of justice. She came down to the earth and gave the most powerful demon a fatal blow.

But before she could kill the other demons, she was banished to the void for violating the rules...

As a result, the crisis in Barkley Continent still could not be resolved.

The Dawn Knights were not lying. The most powerful gloomy eye was indeed killed by the Dawn Knights possessed by the Goddess of Justice. There is nothing wrong with saying that the Dawn Knights got rid of Egreme.

However, because this matter violated the rules of the world, the top management of the Dawn Knights at that time did not want to let people know that the Lady Justice was exiled, so they did not mention the specific process of killing Egreme.

He also didn't advocate any demon-slaying heroes, because the higher-ups of the knight order knew that it was the descending of the goddess, not the ability of the knight itself.

In the Knights of the Dawn at that time, most of the people's morals were indeed decent, and it was their dogma not to lie or cheat, so no records were left.

However, the crisis of the abyssal demon still hasn't been resolved...

In desperation, Ereda, the goddess of darkness, took over the burden——the teaching of the goddess of darkness is actually "the heart has light, but the body is in darkness". Everything in the world has light and darkness. This is not an evil sect, but Allied sect of Lady Justice.

Those who have no choice but to do some gray industries because of life, or those who walk in the shadows, are the true believers of the Dark Goddess.

Due to the appearance of the Abyssal Demon, many people think that the Goddess of Darkness is a heretical cult.
Many heretics even sacrificed the eredar with flesh and blood-this is what the three prophets said were fools who didn't understand anything.

If the demons can't be dealt with, then the sect of the Dark Goddess may cease to exist - those heresies will not bring the power of faith to Eredar, and she does not need the sacrifice of blood from followers.

The abyssal demon must be eliminated, otherwise people's misunderstandings will deepen...

So Ereda finally made up her mind. She expelled the army of abyssal demons and fallen from Barkley Continent, but the Goddess of Darkness was also exiled to the void...

Ereda has a deep research on the soul, but her mana is indeed limited, and she can only expel it, but cannot completely destroy demons—her true believers are not many.

After leaving Buckley Continent, the demons were driven to Pendor Continent.

At this time, the demons were not too strong. The goddess of order, Eunomia, used a new plan. She found a person who was not affected by soul magic, and used various illusory miracles to guide this person to grow into a Excellent fighter.

This person is Kavala.

Kavala has elven blood, he is a hybrid of human and Noldor elves, and he is born with the physique of forbidden magic.

Later, under the guidance of Eunomia, Kavala grew into an outstanding warrior, and he led the army to kill the gloomy eye.

But then, the gloomy eye reappeared in the southern part of Pendor Continent—spiritual bodies cannot die, as long as there are fallen people, the gloomy eye can be revived.

So it took Kavala more than ten years to completely unify the continent of Pendor, find all the demon spirits, and with the help of Eunomia and the Noldor elves, he built a tower of forbidden demons, which will destroy the demons that appeared at that time. The gloomy eye suppressed under the tower.

The Abyss Demon finally disappeared from this world, and Kavala became the Supreme King of Pendor.

But then, when Kavala made Eunomia, the goddess of order, Pendor's official religion, the other gods started to cause trouble—they felt they were being robbed of their followers.

So, the Ice Gods of Vanskerry, Vijovis of the Misty Mountains, Urvet of the North... There are many more, anyway, a lot of gods jumped out.

Their believers committed crimes everywhere, and wars broke out in Pande.

This made Kavala and Eunomia extremely angry-they didn't see these gods contribute when they were dealing with demons before, but now they jump out to share the cake?
Can't get enough and make trouble?

Kavala was indeed the most powerful warrior at that time. He defeated all opponents one by one and built the Pendor Kingdom into a powerful country.

But all the gods have also learned from Eunomia's method, guiding their respective "God's Chosen Heroes" to grow up, and constantly harassing the Pandor Kingdom-plundering, burning, killing... as long as the believers can gain short-term The benefits of gaining more faith for themselves, they will guide their believers to do anything!

Anyway, they did not violate the rules, they have been hiding in their own soul space, never came out, and never went to battle in person, the rules of the world cannot sanction them...

The kingdom of Pendor continued to be harassed, and the old Bacchus empire in the Amara continent also took the opportunity to launch a war—it was also driven by the gods. The God of War and the God of Cupid were the main gods of the old Bacchus. The mainland has suffered heavy losses in the fight against the demons, and plans to occupy more territory.

The goddess of order wants to rebuild order, but how can she rebuild it when wars continue?

In the end, the troubled Eunomia realized that the so-called gods should not exist at all!
These gods are like vampires, they only know how to ask for faith, they are of no help to this world, instead they have been bringing all kinds of disasters!

Astalia has a conscience and a sense of justice, at least she is willing to make up for the mistakes she made unintentionally, but her not-so-useful brain also caused disasters, and the Dawn Knights who lost their guidance have become Became the Dawn Fools!
And the other gods... how are they different from demons?
As a result, Eunomia guided Kavala to launch an unprecedented war, destroying most of the gods' rule codes—including the Temple of War and the Temple of Love in the Amara continent.

All the gods are sealed in their own soul space and cannot come back.

Only two codexes remained intact, Astalia, goddess of justice, and Eredar, goddess of darkness.

Because their law code is in the Buckley Continent, and it took Kavala more than ten years to complete the expedition to the Amala Continent, and finally defeated the old Bacchus Empire—the first division of the old Bacchus Empire also had Credit to Kavala.

And then, Kavanagh died on the way to Barkley's expedition-human life is indeed a bit short.

But this is enough, because the goddess of justice and the goddess of darkness in Buckley Continent were exiled to the void, and they could not return without the code.

Eunomia brought Kavala's soul to the island of the Creator God and put it in the temple, and she herself entered the void through the door left by the Creator God—in order to suppress the gods and rebuild order, She let Kavala launch a world war, which brought disasters to countless people, and she couldn't pass this hurdle.

She exiled herself too.

The fire of Kavala's soul stayed in the temple to guard the gate - only he had the ability to block the gods who planned to return forcibly, because Kavala himself had gained a lot of power of faith in his later years, and he was actually considered a god.

A supreme king who has fought all his life but has never been defeated will of course be worshiped by many people.

All gods disappeared for 100 years.

In those 100 years, people did live a lot better than when there were gods, and the whole world was restored to life.

But 100 years later, perhaps after confirming that Eunomia was not in this world, Eunomia and Kavala received revenge.

First, the Kingdom of Pendor was suddenly destroyed by the Red Death, Kavala's descendants almost lost their inheritance, and the entire country was stolen and torn apart.

Subsequently, the statue of Eunomia was changed, and the goddess of order lost the most important symbol—the pendant of the sun and moon.

Shortly thereafter, an apparently quite evil sect appeared, and quickly invaded the continent of Pendor—the serpent Azi Dahaka of the continent of Amala.

"That is to say, there are no gods in the whole world now, and the emergence of the Snake Cult is to avenge the goddess of order, Eunomia? Do you think this big snake was created by other gods?"

Li Ang listened very carefully, he understood what Kavala meant.

"Yes... I have blocked Aziz Dahaka several times here - it has been trying to come down to the earth. I think it, like Egrim, also ran out of the soul space of a certain god Yes, and it should have been made on purpose. But if the gate here is destroyed, the entrance to the void will be closed forever, and no god will come down to the earth again..."

Kavala said: "At the same time, this can also send you back to the mainland - wherever the last code is, you will be sent there. So, I want you to take me back together, I will destroy the last code, This is my mission."

There are still two copies of the Codex left. Li Ang made a lightning strike. It is estimated that one has been destroyed, and indeed there is the last one left.

"So...what should I do?"

Li Ang asked hesitantly.

The stories Kavala told were probably true, but Li Ang was still a little worried.

He was worried about Kavala's true intention of returning to the mainland...

If the entrance to the void is destroyed and all the gods cannot return, will Kavala become the only god?
Although he is not a god, there is no doubt that he must have the power of a god, otherwise why would Eunomia let him guard this door?
Not a god, but possessing the power of a god, it means that he will not be bound by the laws of the world, and he can do things that can only be done by a god...

Shouldn't he be thinking...

"Son, you just need to relax...don't be nervous, don't resist, don't think about anything...I'll borrow your body for a while."

Kavala's voice became softer.

"Leon, don't believe him...he is no longer Kavala...he is looking for the body of Aziz Dahaka! He is the first generation high priest of the Snake Cult!"

Li Ang was hesitating, but suddenly heard another voice.

Ulrik's voice.
