Law of the Devil

After Ares finished speaking, Du Wei was in deep thought.

Is this the truth of history? The so-called legendary gods, those supreme beings, actually have these silent secrets...

The hero who "saved" mankind once defeated the mighty Demon God with the "Longchinus Spear", and Ares, the strongest god of war among mankind, is right in front of Du Wei at this moment.

That tone full of sadness and despair, just so alive in front of Du Wei... This is God! God of humanity? !

I see!

I see! !

In the human world, only the "Goddess of Light" is now known, and the goddess has become the only deity worshiped by mankind, and also the only dominating deity in this world. But the former male god Ares stayed in this place and was sealed for thousands of years!

Du Wei thought for a while, then slowly shook his head: "I still don't understand. Since... she plotted against you and imprisoned you here... But, where is the Demon God? Why didn't I see the Demon God here? The Demon God Where did you go?!" After the narration, it seemed that the sadness that had been pent up in Ares's heart for thousands of years got a little vent, and his tone seemed not so sad anymore, so the male god didn't directly Answer Du Weidi's question. Instead, he asked him a question:

"Human, let me ask you, in your opinion, what is God?"

"??" Du Wei looked at the figure in the crystal stone above his head silently. He thought for a while before answering: "Possess the supreme divine power. Create the world? Create creatures? Hmm... In my opinion, The power of the gods seems to be in their own domain, and everything can be controlled according to their own will... Then, creation or destruction, change or eternity..."

"No, no, that's not what I asked." Ares said slowly, "Let me ask you, what is God in your opinion? Or let me put it another way: Where did God come from?"

Where did God come from?

This question seems to be in all religious scriptures. There is no exact statement.

In a general sense, almost all religious theories believe that God is the creator of the world and everything in the world. Sky. Rivers, mountains, forests, creatures, everything is created by the gods. But... Where were the gods "created" from?

As if the answer had never been. Because it seems that God is such an eternal existence.

Perhaps, if you ask anyone in this world, the answer will be like this.

But Du Wei is not, because he has the memory of the previous life after all, and he was in the previous life. He is a believer in atheistic materialism. So he quickly said: "I think. The so-called gods are not the existence that created this world at all... Ares, maybe in front of you. It's a little disrespectful for me to say that. But I think, although you Very powerful, but not really powerful enough to create such a world! Therefore, I think that the so-called gods are just ordinary creatures, but you are lucky to have a powerful strength that is higher than Just ordinary creatures."

Ares smiled, and his laughter seemed satisfied this time: "Humans, anyway, your answer is very good. Last time, that Aragorn said the same here. Indeed... we are called the so-called The God of God, but the title of God is just called out by those ordinary gods."

Then he said slowly:

"A long, long time ago, when this world was still very young, there were already all things and creatures in the world. There were various races, there were humans, there were demons, there were elves, there were dwarves, there were orcs, and even Some other races that you don’t know now exist. And I, she, demon gods, and so-called beast gods, elf gods, or dwarf gods, etc., at the beginning, we were just ordinary gods, yes Ordinary humans are ordinary demons, ordinary dwarves, and ordinary elves. However, with personal opportunities and development, some powerful individuals appeared among ordinary creatures. These powerful individuals, who understand Understand the true meaning of power, comprehend the rules of space..."

Hearing this, Du Wei immediately thought of the so-called "fish in the river" theory that Bai Hechou said.

He even thought of Bai Hechou. Isn't this guy an ordinary human? It's just that he started to change from an ordinary fish to a strong fish that can jump out of the water and see the rules of the river ahead. At this time, he has reached the holy level. Later, he became stronger and stronger, gradually from a fish in a river, he became strong enough to walk on the river bank...

This is the breakthrough!

A breakthrough on the road to the god level!

Whether it's Ares, or the gods that existed in ancient times, they probably all came here like this!

"At the beginning, when we understood the rules, we thought it was the limit and the end. But later, some powerful individuals found new breakthroughs and discovered that it was only about comprehending the rules, knowing how to use them, and It is not the real end. Then, it gradually develops to the point that some people can change the rules, or even create new rules...the power becomes stronger and stronger. Even after reaching a higher level, we can have a long life !The life is far longer than that of ordinary creatures!

So, gradually, we have become the awe-inspiring existence in the eyes of ordinary creatures. We have powers that ordinary creatures cannot comprehend. We have eternal life in their eyes, because our power is so powerful that we can even Use your own power to change the fate of many, many people. It has even surpassed the range that ordinary creatures can imagine...

Therefore, in their eyes, existence like us has become an idol that must be respected and feared.

Moreover, with the long years, ordinary creatures have experienced birth. Death, generation after generation. But we have always existed, which makes them even more incomprehensible and awe-inspiring.

And then, in the eyes of ordinary people, they mistakenly think that we are truly eternal.

Although we have great power, we are not the ones who really created the world, and we just evolved from ordinary people. We also have our own thoughts and emotions. Therefore, those born in various races will still unconsciously take care of their original races. .

Gradually. Those races regard the gods of the same race who take care of their own races as the patron saints of their own race... And, after a long time. Everything has become tradition.

As if we were born to exist. Born to be superior. And these gods also have desires, have an evil side, a kind side, a vanity side, etc..."

"I understand that you are just humans, but you are stronger than ordinary people, much stronger." Du Wei said lightly: "Then according to what you said. The so-called gods. It's just that they are stronger than saints." It’s just people with stronger ranks. Right? The so-called earth gods just have their own domain.”

"No."

Unexpectedly, Ares denied Du Wei's statement: "Your answer is wrong this time. Do you think that you are a god after reaching the domain level? Let me tell you. It is still a little worse, and the worse is even worse. Quite a few!"

Du Wei frowned, and then quietly listened to Ares continue talking.

"As you said, we are just some extremely powerful people who have surpassed the limits of ordinary people. However, no matter how powerful a person is, he is limited. Even if you can reach the domain level, you can only create your own domain. You control everything in your own domain. But, how big is your domain? One hundred steps? One thousand steps? Ten thousand steps?"

Du Wei was speechless.

Because in the myths and legends, any god seems to have the power to destroy the world. Unless, your strength is so strong that the scope of the supported domain covers the entire world? After Du Wei finished speaking, he shook his head immediately: "No, I don't think it seems that powerful." "

"Indeed, no matter how powerful a domain expert is, he can't expand his domain to cover the entire world. So... the domain is not a real god level."

"Then what's the difference?" Du Wei couldn't help but asked.

"Godhead!" Ares' voice seemed a little mysterious, and he uttered a word that Du Wei was no stranger to.

Of course Du Wei has heard of this word, but the meaning of this word seems to have always been so vague.

Fortunately, now in front of Du Wei, there is a real god who can answer this question for him. "When a person's power has reached the limit, we can only seek other sources of power." Ares said slowly: "I think since you have reached the domain level, then you should understand that the so-called domain power, Controlling the rules, this power does not come from the body, but from the mind. It is the power of the spiritual consciousness space! It is a kind of spiritual power. However, no matter how powerful a person is, there is always a limit. Therefore, the earliest domain strength ---- I don't know who was the first to discover it, but in my opinion, it should be the demon god who first broke through. The method of this breakthrough is faith and religion!

Use faith, use religion—or, that is, use the worship of ordinary creatures to us. Take advantage of the devotion of the worship of the most devout souls to us. When a person's heart is full of piety and fanaticism, his spiritual power will become stronger than normal. And at this time...we will open up our own domain and envelop these ordinary creatures who believe in us.

Then, you should know. When your domain space is opened, it is within the scope of this domain. Everything is under your control! And the spiritual power sublimated by the worship and piety of these ordinary creatures in the faith can also belong to you!

And what we have to do is to use their power!

Collect the belief spiritual power of thousands of creatures, gather them together, and finally collect them for your own use!

from initial accumulation. In the future, if there are more and more and bigger, then your strength will become stronger and stronger... This is the so-called godhead!

So, from this point of view, as a god, if the more ordinary creatures believe in him, the stronger, more pious and fanatical the belief, then the power of the god will be stronger! Because the godhead he possesses is more powerful! "

Du Wei heard this. Suddenly, a sentence popped up out of nowhere, and he sneered: "Then if a god loses the worship and belief of ordinary beings, then the power will become weak. Right?"

Ares seemed to acquiesce. Du Wei sneered in his heart: Robber!

"This is a cycle. You open up the field. The more power of faith you get from the believers in the field, your power will be enhanced, and then your field will become bigger. And the larger the field, the more you can The more creatures in the coverage area, the more power of faith can be absorbed... It's like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. What you need to do is just store up all the power of faith In this way, the so-called power of God is naturally stronger than imagined. In contrast, the powerhouse at the domain level has just touched the threshold."

Du Wei laughed when he heard this: "I'm already a strong man in the field. Don't you be afraid to tell me this, and when I go out, you can also use this method to enhance your own strength and become a new god?"

Ares seems to be very calm: "You can't do it yet. Because although you are a domain, you don't know how to absorb the power of faith like this. You don't know how to build your own godhead. And I can't tell you this of."

"I understand." Du Wei seemed to smile, mockingly: "You are a group of existences living at the top of the pyramid. The top of the pyramid should originally belong to a small number of places. Of course, the original existence would not want to appear A new guy is here to snatch the space that is already not spacious!" Ares smiled, and he smiled peacefully: "Maybe I did think so before, but now, after 10,000 years of imprisonment here, Do you think I still think so? Humans..."

"My name is Du Wei, you can call me by my name. Because when you call me human, I don't like this name. It makes me feel like you are really some kind of god... After all, you are just A person who is stronger than me and has lived longer than me."

"Okay, Du Wei." Ares seemed very calm: "Then what I want to tell you is that it's not that I don't want to tell you how to build a godhead, but that this is a kind of realm comprehension, not something that can be said Yes. You need to comprehend it yourself, so that you can truly understand... Words cannot describe that feeling."

"Okay, I accept this explanation." Du Wei nodded: "But you haven't told me why the demon god is not here... Does this question have anything to do with what a god is?"

"It's related." Ares said: "Now you know that gods are just humans, and they also have human desires and emotions. Then you can imagine our way of thinking in a human way."

Du Wei was listening.

I heard Ares' voice slowly saying: "When she suddenly stabbed me with the spear of Longchinus that day, I was heartbroken and desperate, and I was imprisoned by her in this Babel Tower. And outside... that Osgilia and the elf, who are also subordinates of the Demon God, were also imprisoned here together. The only difference is that they are only holy steps, and the scope of Tongtian Tower is a domain, and they cannot enter. Therefore, this For ten thousand years, they only stayed outside, not knowing what happened inside, or even knowing that the demon god had already left here!

Just because, after I was wounded by the Goddess and imprisoned in the Tower of Tongtian, for the rest of the time, the Demon God and I were left here together. We were two enemies who were originally enemies. After getting along for a period of time, we The hearts of both of them have changed!

The one who has undergone the biggest change is the Demon God!

He is a strong man, and he is deeply in love with a woman. Then he was betrayed by love...

After the initial despair, sadness, and pain, if you are an ordinary person, you will be lucky, because you can die... But after reaching our state. Even wanting to die is a very difficult thing to do.

So, after experiencing a period of pain—but no matter how great the pain is, there will always be a time when he calms down, when he calms down. Naturally, according to the human way of thinking, after experiencing pain and despair, in the end, all these emotions finally transformed into..."

"Hate!" Du Wei answered coldly.

"Yes. It's hatred." Ares said lightly: "He loves deeply and hates very strongly. And I, I was also hurt by that woman, deceived, and used. Therefore, I also have feelings in my heart. Hate! And in this case, if two men who were deceived by the same woman are locked together, do you think we will continue to hate each other?" The answer is obvious.

At first, the two of them had hatred, but after a long time of being locked up together, it will gradually fade away. There is even a possibility of "sympathizing with each other".

"Then, by chance, we finally communicated. Finally, we reached a settlement. After the settlement, our common wish was to get revenge on Ares. The tone was a little helpless: "But after all. He is still better than me. Even his heart is much tougher than mine...or maybe it's because he was hurt more deeply than me. Although I really want revenge, but I don't want to face her anymore. So we finally made a deal...he's out for revenge! And I, stay here. "

"Go out?" Du Wei's heart moved.

"Yes, get out!" Ares smiled, and his laughter grew louder, with a trace of mockery: "Although she deceived me and plotted against me here, she seems to have left a flaw .Because, at the beginning, in order to consume my divine power, and then plot against me when I was weak, so, I did it by displaying the divine power and arranging the seal here! The strengthening of the seal here is arranged by myself. Therefore, although I was also plotted against by her, but I can still find a way to release him! It's just a pity that I need to be imprisoned instead of him.

There is such a unique flaw in that seal. So, finally I let him out.

And before he left, he swore to me that he would definitely complete his revenge... And, one day, he would personally defeat that woman, bring her here, and... let her taste the taste of being imprisoned!

I only have one request for the Demon God..."

When Ares said this, his voice became cold:

"I want her to accompany me!" No matter how slow Ying was, he could hear the extremely strong hatred in these words!

However, Du Wei still couldn't help asking: "Then, after ten thousand years... It seems that the demon god has not succeeded. Because I came from the outside world, and now I am on the outside continent. My old lover, is respectfully called the Goddess of Light by all human beings and is still the only ruler of this world, the only supreme existence! And there seems to be no news about the demon god you released. There is not even a trace of him... Even history has been completely tampered with by the goddess. In the current human history, it seems that there is no trace of the existence of demons at all! If I didn’t happen to know an elf who came to the mainland from the north, I would not Know what other mythological eras in history!"

"It's not surprising." Ares said lightly: "It's only ten thousand years. You know, after imprisoning both of us here, the strength of the goddess has been greatly increased, even if the demon god goes out from here , and it is not easy to defeat her!"

"Isn't the demon god the most powerful god?" Du Wei frowned. used to be. Ares' voice was a little helpless: "Because..."

After a pause, he sighed helplessly: "After she plotted against us and imprisoned us here, she took advantage of our weakness and used her divine power to take away most of our godheads!"

Captured... Godhead? ! After walking through 3,650 steps, Vivienne and Ai Lu, following behind the Elf King Luoxue, came to the huge square at the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Looking at the empty square, Vivienne couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Mr. Luoxue... Du Wei, he, where did he go? You, didn't you say that he is on the mountain?"

Luoxue did not speak quietly, her eyes seemed to have crossed the square, looking towards the far ahead, the direction of the Witch King's throne...

Ai Lu's face suddenly changed: "Could it be...they went to the cave where the teacher practiced together?!"

Following the direction of Ai Lu's finger, Vivian looked into the distance.

And at this time, from afar, Bai Hechou's cold voice came over.

"Elf, why did you go and come back? Don't tell me you are not convinced by the defeat in your heart, do you still want to try again?"

Luoxue said lightly: "Mr. Bai Hechou, I just abide by what I said before. There are still three days before the time I agreed with Du Wei... I just decided to accompany Du Wei's wife up the mountain and wait here until the time we agreed on. Until it's over... I don't have any doubts about your strength."

Bai He's sad voice was silent for a while, and then came softly: "The little Du Wei's wife? Hmph, if that's the case, you come in together."

After a pause, the voice became colder:

"Ai Lu! You just stay outside! Until I have no other orders, you just stand there!".
