call……
The general seemed to have calmed down. He tried to relax his body and unbuttoned his white singlet.
Then, he looked at Zuo Chang and said, "My name is Bai Huai."
Zuo Chang was confused and turned to look at him: "I am Zuo Chang."
"Huh? Are you from the eastern part of the empire too?"
"ah?"
Bai Huai looked at the suspicion on Zuo Chang's face and felt bored. Zuo Chang's name was too simple, very different from the ordinary citizens of the Golden Empire, so Bai Huai thought he was a fellow villager.
From the looks of it, it seems not.
He added: "I never associate with adventurers. After all, we have different statuses and are not the same people. But now...it seems that we can only cooperate. Mr. Zuo, professional people do professional things, but you can't lead troops in war. I’m not good at exploring ruins, so I’ll leave the rest to you, brother!”
Zuo Chang nodded casually: "Okay, Chairman Bai."
"??"
What is the chairman of the committee, this Zuo Chang, talking about?
Bai Huai gestured with his hands: "Give me instructions and I will obey."
Strictly speaking, Zuo Chang is just a player. He has never done any formal ruins exploration.
But God obviously put a lot of thought into building this "branch".
A shining golden thread on the ground guided the way forward. Zuo Chang did not hesitate at all and moved forward on the golden thread.
in this way--
An untimely aroma of tea appeared suddenly.
On the platform at the corner ahead, there was a young man in white sitting on the ground. There is a tea set on the low table in front of him. He makes tea and pours it, looking calm and acting elegantly, and so on.
The general frowned.
Before meeting the weird old man in red, the general would have thought that this young man was a treasure thief who had arrived first.
But now, he subconsciously thought that the tea-making young man in front of him was also a monster!
Therefore, he remained silent and placed his palm on the hilt of the sword.
"You are the one chosen by the gods... Your Excellency?"
The young man in white glanced at Zuo Chang, calmly.
His choice of words is very strange, why "Your Excellency"?
The young man pushed over a tea cup and said, "Please use tea."
Zuo Chang didn't play tricks with him: "I'm not thirsty. I don't dare to drink either."
"Don't worry, as the 'God of Storms and Sky' - even though I'm just an incarnation that invades the border - I don't bother to poison."
Invading a fantasy world?
The incarnation of the wind god?
Very informative!
Zuo Chang tilted his head slightly and asked, "I met an old man in red clothes before. Who is he?"
"The God of Fire and Bronze is also just an incarnation. The time and space you are in now is the gap between fantasy and reality. One step to the left is fantasy."
Click——
Fengshen stretched out two fingers and moved the cup in front of him to the left.
The bottom of the cup rubbed against the stone surface, making an unpleasant sound.
Then, he moved the cup to the right.
"One step to the right is reality. The God of Heaven is very cunning. She stores her body here, hoping that when the promised day comes, she can arrange for her messenger to come here and rescue her."
It’s true.
Zuo Chang was already dizzy.
He looked down at the puppy at his feet. The war demon dog didn't even raise his head and said directly: "Don't look at me. My lifespan is very long, but 90% of the time I am in a sealed state. I don't understand what he is talking about."
All right.
Zuo Chang said honestly, "I don't understand."
"I'm not good at illustrations and explanations. What I'm good at is gardening and tea ceremony."
The young man in white...
In other words, Fengshen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I'll make a long story short. The god has single-handedly changed the world beyond recognition. This is of course not without cost! The price is that she must use all her power to maintain her ideal system. This process continuously consumes her divine power. When When her strength is not strong enough to resist the will of the world, she will fall apart."
"This is the origin of the Promised Day. The Promised Day is not a legend, but a systemic flaw in the system of gods. It will definitely come."
"Now, the critical point has arrived. The god is at the end of her power, and she is not far from death!"
"And you are the 'agent' of this era, specifically responsible for recovering the god's body... and then starting the next round of sad reincarnation."
Fengshen raised his eyes and looked at Zuo Chang.
His eyes were full of fierceness: "Don't you think - she is too selfish and too arrogant?"
Zuo Chang blinked, obviously not understanding what Feng Shen meant.
Selfish?
Arrogant?
Where to start.
As a newcomer who has just arrived, it is understandable that he does not understand what Fengshen is talking about.
But on his side, there is an old monster who has lived long enough and seen enough.
War demon!
"Haha...you are so ugly."
The war demon smiled and spoke sarcastically: "Your Excellency Fengshen, I really feel sad for you. As an ancient god, not only did you lose in the duel with the gods, but you also used such superficial words to deceive a human being. ——Selfish and arrogant, are you really talking about gods?"
"After the gods replaced you 'old gods' and became the only God, everyone in the ascended world has been favored."
"The dungeon highly integrates resources. Adventurers fight in it, and every drop of sweat they shed is converted into money. In today's era, adventurers are the most important producers. They are powerful, but peaceful, and they have no time. Fighting, fighting bravely, after all, if you lose, you will be hospitalized or sleep forever; if you win, you will be imprisoned or exiled, which will affect their ability to make money."
"The most troublesome problem of adventurers in the ancient kingdom was easily answered by the gods. I don't need to emphasize this point. Just look at the change in the world's attitude towards adventurers before and after the era of gods, it is enough to prove everything——"
The war demon glanced at Bai Huai who looked confused.
It continued: "And all of this requires God to abandon himself and maintain her system with all his strength. Such a selfless existence, is it called 'selfish and arrogant' in your mouth? I don't understand your logic!"
snort.
Fengshen's face turned cold and he said, "This is the greatest selfishness and arrogance! The God of Heaven is selfish because she only changed the world into what she wanted for her own selfish reasons, regardless of whether other people have any opinions."
"God is arrogant because she questions our possibilities and stubbornly arranges everything to keep us on the track she has set, as if she is the only one who is right!"
"Your Mightiness!"
Fengshen turned his head and looked at Zuo Chang: "Don't you think so?"
Zuo Chang blinked: "You seem to be very unwilling."
"Of course I won't give in! It doesn't make sense!"
"If you are not willing to give in, why don't you just launch a god-killing war? Since you can use the incarnation, it proves that you still have the ability to affect reality, right?"
Zuo Chang hugged his chest and seemed very puzzled.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Ah, is it because I can't beat him?"
Click!
Fengshen's eyes were fierce and he crushed the tea cup in his hand.
