Chapter 32 The Love of the Forest
"At that time, the gods were wandering in the destruction space with the usual form of carbon-based creatures." Roland did not care much about his words just now, and continued to recall, "That was the first time we had seen carbon-based creatures. However, since we had met the Soul Warrior before, he described the characteristics of carbon-based creatures for us, he was not surprised by this strange appearance. We only felt angry, so we united and launched an attack on her."
Shuer was not surprised at all, this was an inevitable result.
After experiencing the pain of the destruction of his home, enduring the regret of betraying the race, wandering in this crisis-ridden space with despair. At this time, I happened to meet an alien race who had only been heard of in the legend, wandering leisurely in such a terrifying space. No matter how you look at it, you can't think it's a normal phenomenon. The reactions of most people are probably instinctively treating her as the mastermind behind the destruction of her homeland at the first time. It is natural to end up with a conflict.
"But the result of the battle was beyond our expectations." Roland's streamers hung down weakly, "That's not considered a battle at all."
"Oh?" Shur frowned, looking very difficult to understand, as if he really didn't understand the gods at all. "The gods you mentioned are really so powerful that you can't resist? I think your technological level is higher than ours, how could it be..."
"You still don't understand. I said that it's not a battle at all." Roland made a sneering gesture and said self-deprecatingly. "When I saw your performance, I recalled my previous mentality. Yes, I didn't understand at that time why our attacks would not have any effect on her. All the attacks passed through her body, and she seemed to not exist at all."
"Huh?" Shuer raised his eyebrows, but said nothing, but in his heart, he was far from showing such peace of mind. Roland's words made him think a lot.
In fact, unless the gods descend into the body of mortals, it is impossible for mortals to attack the gods, which is determined by the characteristics of the gods themselves. However, not only that, if mortals attempt to attack the gods, the attack effect will be directly reflected in the mortals themselves, that is, the reason for the saying that whispering the gods will only be the result of the divine punishment, and it will also face the blow of divine punishment. This is determined by the common rules of distorting the worlds of the void. Unless it has a certain divinity like the dragon king who challenged the god of war, Foggs, that is, it can avoid this consequence.
However, in Roland's narrative, they did not attack Anika's body, but they were not damaged, nor did they bear the blow of divine punishment. This is very interesting. I am afraid that there is a really irregular area in the rift space, and even the most basic rules of twisting the void cannot take effect. However, even so, gods are not something that mortals can challenge at will. Mortal weapons still cannot offend the majesty of gods.
"But even though we were so reckless, the gods did not blame us. She did not even fight back. She just stared at us in the same place and allowed us to attack. Then we heard her voice."
"Voice? Do you understand? And, can you hear sounds inside the source of disaster?"
"Of course, the voice of mortals cannot be heard, but the gods have abilities that mortals cannot match. We not only hear, but also understand." Roland recalled the past in a daze. Even though thousands of years have passed, the scene is still so clear in memory. "Her voice is directly transmitted to our spiritual body. We do not understand, but instinctively understand what she means. I really want the memory exchange of our clan, but it is more direct than memory exchange, and it is one-way selective."
"Tsk, it's a very interesting experience." Shur deliberately made an unexpected expression and said with interest, "What did the gods say?"
"She said she was not our enemy, but just an explorer lost in the crack space. She came from the world of Pavatiga and was the god of Pavatiga." Roland recalled. "She said that we were the first creatures she had lost in these years. Before that, she had never even encountered real matter, let alone creatures. So she was very interested in us and hoped to know our past experiences. Maybe she could provide some help to us. We didn't trust her at that time, but we could no longer support her. Apart from needing help, there was no other way out. In desperation, we could only retell our experiences to her."
"Oh? Including..."
"Well, including, because the communication of will cannot be concealed. The so-called selectivity is only the gods have their choices, not us." Obviously, what the two mentioned was naturally the behavior of Roland and others who escaped in the last battle. "After listening to our story, she told us that she was also exploring the essence of the destruction space. Although she had been disconnected from Pavatiga and didn't know when she would return to Pavatiga, she was still ready to continue exploring, and even if she could never tell these things about other gods in her hometown. We were really shocked at that time. The existence of the gods was already exaggerated to us, but from what she meant, there were still many gods, which were simply unimaginable."
"Yes, it's unimaginable." Shuer was not completely pretending. In fact, he understood Roland's contradictory view of the gods. Although Shuer's hometown world is also very backward, it is said that there was a very advanced civilization, that is, the legendary previous era. This generation of civilization was rebuilt on the basis of the previous era and naturally inherited a lot of cognition left over from the previous era, including doubts about the gods. It was not until a few years ago that Shuer completely believed in the existence of the gods after meeting Lisa. Therefore, from a certain perspective, his experiences with Roland have many similarities, which inevitably resonate.
"After that, she knew that we had reached the end and could no longer hold on, so she took the initiative to protect us with her power, and acted together for a while, and helped us invisibly. We have regarded her as our guardian god. However, after wandering for a hundred years, we accidentally discovered that her power was actually weakening. According to her own explanation, since she was disconnected from the source of faith of Pavatiga, she could not replenish the power of faith, so she would inevitably become weaker. Fortunately, the original connection with her partner's body will not be cut off. As long as the other half is immortal, she will not die, and at most she will just fall asleep." Roland said blankly, "I have never understood the meaning of the gods, and I do not understand what the so-called partner refers to."
Well, you definitely don’t understand. Of course, mortals don’t know how to divide themselves into two conceptually. I’m afraid that under normal circumstances most gods don’t understand, that is, not so normal gods like Anika would come up with this method.
"Maybe it was because we had spent too much power on us, and her weakness was faster than she expected. After acting together for decades, she suddenly told us that she could not hold on and could not continue to help us." Roland was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Everyone knows what that means, but no one has the right to blame her. It was she who allowed us to continue our lives for more than a hundred years, and if it weren't for helping us, she wouldn't have exhausted her power so quickly."
"We accepted this fate calmly, expressed our gratitude to the gods, and said goodbye to her and prepared to leave. We hope that she could last longer without our drag, but she stopped us. She said that although we could not accompany us, we could give us a safe planet and let us live in the crack space." Roland smiled self-deprecatingly, "Can you imagine how incredible we felt at that time? No one believed this, and even I did not believe it. However, in front of us, a miracle happened. Since then, we have become her most determined believers. Although we do not understand what the power of faith is, and our number is too small and we can provide limited, we decided to provide her with the power of faith for generations until she regained vitality."
"Are you talking about this planet?" Shure asked thoughtfully, "A tree as big as a planet can indeed be considered a miracle."
"What if I tell you, this is the essence of the god?" Roland said with some excitement, "her original body is actually about the same size as you, but in front of us, she changed from a flesh and blood body to a giant tree, and then it took a few days to grow into the planet you see. We don't know how the gods do it, but inside the planet, we can live normally and safely like in our hometown."
"Well, I don't understand very much." Shur showed a puzzled expression, "You are just meeting by chance. Why did she do this?"
"We have also asked the gods because we don't understand why she did this."
"Wait, ask the gods?" Shure suddenly interrupted Roland, "Hasn't she turned into a ball... a planet? How could she still ask?"
"The god just transformed his body into a planet. His will was not asleep for the first time and he could communicate normally. She fell into a deep sleep, which was only the past few hundred years." Roland explained, "The god told us that she could not bear to watch the innocent us extinction in front of her, and there was a task to hand it over to us."
"oh?"
"She hopes that we will use our own power to search the surrounding areas regularly, so as to save more lost people as possible, and retain a little more fire for the twisted worlds of the void. Perhaps this is the only way out for the worlds."
