Chapter 51 Dialogue
[You have rejected Hicks' recruitment twice, which is enough to show that his corrosion is ineffective for you. If it is easily corroded, why bother to get you from another world? Edgar has more than one lifeweaver.]
Link was moved. Indeed, whether it was related to Shuanghan or his lack of faith, there were other candidates, and it was not necessary for him.
"Why have I been to Edgar for so long and have never seen the Destiny Spirit once?" At the moment, Link was not the reason why he was selected. The time to talk to Bree was limited, so he had to find the correct answer for his doubts as much as possible.
[The Weaver of the Destiny is not the Edgar. Your destiny does not exist in this world and can only be obtained by absorbing the destiny of others.]
"Isn't the fate of others? Not something that can change history will produce demons?" Bray's remarks were different from what Link heard before.
[Every life has its own destiny line, which is destined since they are separated from the flow of life. If you want to change or reverse it, you can only grab the destiny that does not belong to you.]
Link immediately realized that the reason why Death is so powerful is because he has absorbed too much life. Those destiny demons who were originally going to return to life were occupied by Hicks.
"Can the annihilation of the undead bring back the demon spirit that was taken away by the god of death?"
[Oh, you noticed this.] Bu Lei nodded, [Yes, but that is only for high-level undead, that is, undead with self-thoughts and souls.]
"Then why did I kill several human traitors who were in vain with the undead and a lich, but I didn't see the demon?"
Bree explained that demon spirit is the same as mental power, which is invisible matter, and can only be visualized if the intensity reaches a certain level. The same is true for soul energy. The mental power can be displayed when it reaches a certain level, but to reach visualization, it must be a legendary level, and a very large amount can be condensed into a slight soul energy. The soul energy after the gathering shape cannot be transformed back into mental power, which is why gods rarely give believers soul energy. It is not difficult to see demon spirit. As long as the perception is strong enough, after seeing it once, you can easily distinguish demon spirit from other invisible matters.
"Are you talking about those golden silk threads?" Link also asked Dante for a similar question. The old dwarf probably wouldn't lie to him.
[Did you see it there...] Bray told Link that trying to absorb demon spirits is also related to whether there are other people nearby who are also capable of absorbing demon spirits. Except for special demon spirits, whoever is stronger will usually get it first.
Damn, this setting is so disgusting. Link complained silently in his heart that he did not know that he had absorbed demon spirits in the Old Town of the Valley, the Watch Castle, and the Grantham Fortress, including Vaulet. He was not discovered because he was an invisible substance. The world of forests and the Charge could be concreteized. To a large extent, it was also because he absorbed the demon spirit of fate.
"How do you plan to clean up the mess left by Lorelai? How do you deal with those greedy and arrogant believers without faith?"
Bray's answer completely reversed Link's original idea. It turned out that the gods who thought about providing divine power had already made a private agreement, so that the weakest Bray would first solve Lorelai, and replace her with the magic priests to lead the mage back on track, and to pull the mage into an alliance against the undead.
Link did not ignore the important information contained in Bray's words: "Wait! What do you mean by contact?"
[If you can enter the Guardian Land to contact the pillar-shaped avatars representing the manifestation of the four elements, you can reconnect with the four first-generation gods of nature and let them lift the blockade of the flow of life.]
Link asked why it was different from what Malik said.
[Do you believe in that God of Conspiracy?]
Link was silent for a few seconds, "I don't believe anyone."
[The law cuts off the connection between the column and the material world. The column closes the flow of life outside the crystal wall. These are two different things.]
Link was even more puzzled.
If the pillar is forcibly closed by the law to connect with the material world, then how did I come from the earth to Edgar? It is impossible to do it by the four gods responsible for the supply of divine power, right?
Bray did not give a positive answer, but instead asked Link what kind of relationship did Edgar and the illusion of the Exile Land look like?
Relationship? Isn’t it projection and ontology?
[I got Andrea's oracle a thousand years ago, allowing me to stay in the material world as a mortal, until I could find him a son of nature who was not corroded by Hicks.] Bray's statement confirmed Link's previous speculation that returning to the Golden Age was indeed Andrea's arrangement. However, what surprised Link even more was still behind him. Bray actually said that Link came to Edgar with the voters of the God of War Vlajede 16 years ago.
"You mean I've been here sixteen years ago. But why did I not wake up until now?"
[You haven't forgotten what kind of existence the Son of Nature is, right?]
What kind of existence... Link searched all the legends about the Son of Nature in his mind, but he didn't understand the meaning of Bree's words. In the end, Bree told him the answer. Over the past ten years, Pill has been creating a new body for Link.
Link was stunned for a moment, remembering that Eris said in the fantasy that from the moment he became a son of nature, he became a new life form and had nothing to do with the original population.
It turns out that Brey said this, but... why do you need to create a body? Gonzalez died first, so the soul traveled through time. I didn't die? There are also Finn and Gillard, who are also traveled through time on the body. Why do I have to reshape my body?
This idea of "died once" and "had changed his body" made Link feel very bad. After experiencing separation from his family and being alone and unable to return to Earth, even his body was replaced unknowingly.
Misunderstanding Link's thoughts, Bray said: [Do you think you are a human being? You have to exercise the power of a pillar, which is simply unbearable with the human body.]
At this time, there was no time to care about personal gains and losses. Link seized the time to ask him about his newly discovered doubts. Since the pillar had broken off contact with the material world many years ago, why did he see Gasos not long ago and sign a contract?
[That is the power left by the Pillar of Wind to Evega. As for the foreseeable dream you think... half true and half false, Andrea was trapped by the resentment of the dead souls, which is true, but the flood was false, Hicks invaded your dream and gave you false revelation. The purpose is to inform the Watch Castle that the flood was about to flood the earth through you. Because of the false information, the commander made a wrong decision to join Grantham's revenge army. This was originally Hicks' plan, and the purpose was to wipe out you and the Watch Castle that had been fighting against the Immortal Empire. Unfortunately, Gillard was a false believer and could not be the medium for me to come.]
Linkton felt that his mind was not enough. It turned out that Gillard insisted on becoming a believer of Brey at that time, but Brey himself did it.
"What about...Malik? Why did he approach me?"
[Malik's turnaround was caused by the blockage of the flow of life by the pillar. Although he is the main god of the spirit, his main believer is human. If you fail, the pillar will start the final plan - destroying humans, which means that he may lose the battle for divine power in the Kingdom of God. In comparison, betraying allies is nothing. Humans are also an important source of the power of the God of Death.]
What Malik said was the truth! This was beyond Link's expectations. He thought that the god of conspiracy came to him either to help his allies spy on information, or to help Lorelai, or to secretly monitor him to achieve certain goals. The result was really just for himself, and it really suited his personality.
[By the way, I have to remind you one thing.] Bray gave Link a warning element, [The divine essence of the Son of Nature is a magical technique. If you are too disconnected from the gods, you will only use your own spiritual power and will only become the second Befest.]
Link hurriedly asked why?
[I once regarded Befast as a candidate to send him to ancient times, but before summoning, the Pillar of Earth deprived him of the Son of Nature. I originally thought it was interfering in the war between humans and orcs, but later I thought there was insider information and conducted a slight investigation. It turned out that Befast wanted to use spells created by mental power to resolve the dispute between the two species that lasted for hundreds of years. The Pillar of Earth believed that he had deviated from the Son of Nature and had the possibility of becoming the second Hicks, so he abolished his qualifications before things became irreversible.]
After hearing this, Link gasped. If Brey hadn't reminded him...wait, how could I be sure what he said must be true?
Edgar's god is as selfish as humans, but what can I do to make him greedy? Shouldn't Bray lie to me? Now that he has replaced Lorelai as the new magic god, he is no longer a weak god of knowledge, so there is no need to continue to provide me with divine power. Thinking of this, Link became suspicious of how Bray defeated Lorelai. Even if it was corrupted, Lorelai is one of the stronger gods among the three generations. Bray has only been the forty years since he was a god. The pure source of magic obtained from ancient Andrea only ensures that he is not corroded like Lorelai and cannot enhance his power...
After politely speaking out his questions, Brey responded calmly.
Claire is actually Lorelai's spare tire. In order to improve his strength, Lorelai has always been using the power of other saints to fight against corrosion. For thousands of years, Brelai was the only one who successfully won the gods from her nose, and other saints mages were swallowed by Lorelai.
No wonder he is so powerful, the third generation of gods who claim to be able to compete with the second generation, so this is how it comes about. Link, who already has no good feelings for Lorelai, couldn't help but turn to Bray, so he asked casually, would he want his ex-boy to eat Claire and Bud?
