The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 369's

Dawn . Sunlight illuminated the back garden of Dragonblood Castle. For the first time in a long time, Linley had the urge to go to the back garden and devote himself to stoneculpting. While sculpting, Linley could not help but think back to one scene after another of himself with Grandpa Doehring.

“The appearance, quality, grain, and color of the stone not only affects its appearance, but also its entire potential and original shape. We use chisels to remove excess parts and let its natural beauty unfold. This is stoneculpting. ”

“How to carve stone is really a way of controlling space and appearance. When cutting stones, one must … "

The scene of Grandpa Doehring teaching him about the stone statue was still very fresh, so clear in Linley's mind.

After comprehending the 'Depth Truth about Velocity', Linley's straight chisel moved more gracefully and agilely, sometimes turning into countless blurs while at other times, moving so slowly and gently … the human-shaped stone in front of him was slowly forming. Linley's carving caught the attention of Hillman, Taylor, and many others, who watched from afar.

“Daddy's sculptural method is very strange. "Say Taylor in surprise.

Hillman let out a surprised breath as well. "really. Your father's stone statue gave me a feeling .. as if the statue itself already existed. All he did was remove the excess rock and dust covering it. ”

Straight chisels flashed, and stone spots flew over.

It was just like Hillman said. Linley actually simply removed the useless layer of stone on top of the statue, and as the stone flecks flew, the statue slowly began to reveal its true appearance.

“Shed her shell. This is the feeling known as 'shell release' that stone carvers talk about. "Jenny sighed in amazement. “Only, I never realized that one can sculpt in a natural way. “Jenny himself had learned to sculpt stones, but what he learned was the normal type of chisel that required a lot of tools.

"Hm …"

For Linley, a single straight chisel was enough.

He began to sculpt at dawn, and continued until dusk. Only then did Linley finally put aside his chisel, reaching out to gently caress the statue.

“Kakek Doehring's. "Linley muttered to herself. “In the past, I promised that there would come a day when I would completely destroy the Radiant Church and pull them from its roots. Very soon, very soon .. I will be able to achieve this. ”

The statue in front of him belonged to the 'Doehring Cowart'. Doehring Cowart's face had a hint of a friendly smile on his face.

"Linley's. “Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

Linley turned around and saw that the speaker was actually Fain. Next to him, Hillman immediately said, "Linley, Mr. Fain has been waiting here for some time now. But when he sees that you are sculpting, he does not want to bother you. ”

“It really looks nimble and real like spirit. Fain sighed in amazement as he stared at the statue.

The statue looked alive, and for a moment, it was as if a real person was standing there.

"Linley, who are you chiseling?" Fain asked curiously.

Linley did not respond. "Fain, you came because …?"

Fain hurriedly said, "Oh, this time, I have come to invite you on a trip to War God Mountain. Tomorrow, which means April 6th, all the various Gods will gather at the God War Mountain, while some Saints have also been invited to attend. ”

"Oh?" Linley was suddenly interested; a meeting of the Gods, with only a few Saints invited? Obviously, this meeting is very important.

"May I ask what this is about?" Ask Linley.

Fain shook his head. “I'm not sure either, and Master didn't tell me. But if you go, you'll know it. ”

"Good . I'll definitely leave tomorrow. "Linley nodded as she spoke.

Yulan Calendar, 10034, April 6. O'brien Empire. Outside the imperial capital. The Mountain of the Gods of War.

In the quiet and secluded courtyard of the War God O'Brien, the four Gods, including the God of War, the High Priest, Dylin, and Cesar, along with the four Saints, became Fain, Linley, Desri, and Cesar, and Tulily, all of them were casually sitting down.

“So only the four of us came. “Desri also felt rather curious. "Linley, do you know what's going on?" Linley and Desri engaged in a mental conversation.

"I'm not sure either. They're all Gods. We should have nothing to do with their business. "Linley was confused as well.

At this moment, the four Saints maintained their silence.

The God of War and the High Priest exchanged meaningful views, and then the God of War turned a sharp gaze toward Linley and the other three. In a loud voice, he said, “Today, the main reason the four of you were called is because of the High Priest and I have reached an agreement. There were too many countries in the Yulan continent. It is time to reduce the number. ”

Linley and the other three were shocked.

"Are the Gods of War prepared to instigate a great war?" Linley wondered silently to himself.

The masked High Priest said in a soft voice, “God of War and I have reached an agreement. There should only be three Kingdoms that would remain here in the Yulan continent; the O'Brien Empire, the Yulan Empire, and the Baruch Empire. In other words ...it's time to start a war that will cover the entire Yulan continent. ”

Linley, Fain, Desri, and Tulily, although inwardly shocked, still managed to appear calm on the outside.

"Linley, do you have any thoughts? You can be considered as a representative of the Baruch Empire. ”

Linley paused for a moment.

“This is good news. I certainly wouldn't mind. ”

Linley immediately continued, "If our three main Kingdoms join forces, it won't be difficult to destroy another country. Merely, I believe that if you, the God of War, and you, the High Priest, join forces, you can accomplish these things easily. Why did you invite us Saints to come? I don't understand this . ”

The God of War and the High Priest might just want to give him face and invite him, but why did they invite Desri, Tulily, and Fain as well?

“Very simple. "Cesar nearby had a seductive and seductive look in his eyes. “The God of War and the High Priest do not want to act. They want you to act. ”

The War God could not help but glance at Cesar, but Cesar only chuckled.

“We will not engage in this battle. ”The firm and firm voice of the God of War is heard. “We have to tell you something. As per Lord Beirut's orders, within three days, we four Gods will all head towards the Necropolis of the Gods. ”

"To the Necropolis of the Gods?" Linley, Desri, and the others all knew that last time, only the Saints had entered the Necropolis of the Gods, whereas the Gods had yet to enter it.

"Three days later? Why didn't Lord Beirut make you enter the Necropolis of the Gods with us? Is there a special reason? "Ask Linley.

The nearby dylin snorted. “No special reason. The only reason was because Lord Beirut ordered it. ”

Linley.

Just because Lord Beirut ordered it?

“Enough about that. “God War said calmly. “Eliminating other countries is only a small matter. I believe the four of you are really capable of handling it. How about this .. Linley, Tulily, Desri, you go lead your troops to the Holy Island of the Radiant Church and destroy it. ”

"As for the private students of my War God College, as well as the private disciples of the High Priest, they will go together to destroy the Cult of Shadows headquarters. ”

The War God glanced at Linley. "Don't tell me you can't do it. ”

“I will be very happy to deal with the Radiant Church. "Linley frowned as she spoke. “But on the Holy Island of the Radiant Church, there is a large-scale and powerful magic formation, 'The Glory of the Radiant Sovereign'. I imagine that just relying on Saint-level strength alone, we will find it very difficult to break through it. ”

The nearby Dylin said in disdain, "Radiant Sovereign Glory? Yes, the strength of that grand magic formation is not bad. Back then, it could block a blow from me. Only one Saint would not be able to break it. But Linley, if ten of you Saints attack him at full strength simultaneously .. might not be the first, might not be the second, but eventually, you will be able to destroy the 'Glory of the Radiant Sovereign'. ”

Linley laughed as well.

Previously, the Radiant Church had also feared that Linley would lead the Saints square to attack the Holy Island. Thus, they had Linley sign the agreement that if he ever went to the Holy Island, he would go alone.

But that agreement, ever since Linley, the Radiant Church, and the Cult of Shadows fell, had been destroyed.

High Priest, 'Catherine', speaking. "Actually, if the three wind-style Grand Magus Saints simultaneously threw 'Edge Dimensions' and attacked the same location, it was enough to break the 'Glory of the Radiant Sovereign'. ”

“If you can destroy an opponent's Saint-level combatant, the outcome of the fight will be a lost conclusion, before it even begins. “The God of War said coldly. “In this war of nation-destruction, when the time comes, take advantage of your Saint-level troops directly and threaten the opponent. I believe that this battle will be finished very quickly. ”

Linley, Desri, Fain, and Tulily could only laugh miserably in their hearts.

For Gods, the battles on the Yulan continent were indeed nothing more than a child's game, especially when the God of War and the High Priest joined forces.

And indeed, once the highest-level experts of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows were destroyed, the outcome of the war would be clear to anyone.

“Lord War God, I'm a little confused. "Linley speaks. “Why are you dragging this out for so long instead of starting a long time? I'm thinking that if you and the High Priest join forces, you'll be able to split the other Empire in half a long time ago and divide the world for yourself. ”

The God of War and the High Priest glanced at each other.

Dylin laughed wickedly. “It's simple. At that time, I had yet to arrive at the Yulan continent, and Cesar had yet to make a breakthrough. In the human society of the Yulan continent, the only Gods were the two of them. The two were always opponents; how could they possibly join forces? "

“Regarding why they joined now, the first reason was because the two of them now had the feeling that uniting the Yulan continent under their rule was now hopeless, no hope, and so they divided the world into three parts. The second reason was because they were now feeling depressed. As to why they feel depressed .. find out for yourself. "Say Dylin.

Linley suddenly had a thought. "God of War and the High Priest .. feel that uniting the continent is now hopeless? Because me?"

Linley understood immediately.

First of all, he will become a God. The God of War and the High Priest should be aware of this. Second, he had obtained the heavenly sparks within the Necropolis of the Gods, and was able to cultivate the Demigods plant. These three points made it impossible for the God of War or the High Priest to treat Linley as an enemy.

"The Eighteen Northern Duchies and Holy Unity will belong to my O'Brien Empire. “God War said calmly.

The God of War looked at Linley. "The Rohault Empire and the great plains of the far east will belong to your Baruch Empire. ”

"As for the rest, the Dark Alliance and the Rhine Empire, they will belong to the Yulan Empire. "High Priest nearby slightly nodded.

"Linley, do you have any objections?" The God of War and the High Priest looked towards Linley.

Linley could only laugh helplessly in his heart.

From the words and attitudes of the War God and the High Priest, he could fully sense … that the God of War and the High Priest did not treat the impending war on the continent as a great affair at all. And indeed, this is a war with no possible alternative outcome. Experts at their level did not have to worry about it.

"No object . Of course I don't mind. "What else could Linley say?

Thus, according to this arrangement, the Yulan continent had been divided into three parts.

"really. “The War God nodded in satisfaction. "Linley, you should know that in fact, for people like us, worldly power is meaningless. The most important thing is your own level of training. Linley, I have heard that you will become a God for about ten years or so. ”

Linley could tell that the attitude of the God War towards him was now clear where he regarded Linley as someone on the same level.

After all, in but ten short years, by the time the War God returned, Linley had most likely already become a God.

The nearby Dylin said solemnly, "But before that happens, I have to remind you of some things. Otherwise, if you make a stupid mistake, it will be terrible for you. ”

Linley immediately listened with ama, and even the nearby Desri and the others noticed.

“Depend on your own strength to become a God and fuse with the heavenly spark to become a God is completely different. Once your level of understanding of the Laws has reached a certain level, the Universe will naturally create a heavenly spark based on the nature of your soul, and this heavenly spark will fully become one with your soul. ”

“After your heavenly spark is created, you will face choices. "Dylin looked at Linley solemnly. “After the heavenly spark is created, you have two options. The first is to absorb the heavenly spark into your mind and make it one with your soul. At that time, your body will naturally turn into a heavenly body. ”

“The merging of your soul with a heavenly spark will cause your body to turn into a heavenly body. If that heavenly spark were of the Earth-element, then in the future, you would only be able to practice in the Earth-Element Law and not be able to train others. ”

"But of course, after the birth of the heavenly spark, there is still a second choice!"

"The choice was to not absorb the heavenly spark into your body, and instead, leave it outside. If you do, then the universe will by itself, according to the nature of the heavenly spark, produce a second body. Your body will not change at all. In other words ... You will basically have a clone of yourself. This clone of yourselves will become a Demigod, while your real body can still practice in the other Element Laws! ”

Dylin said seriously, “However, there is a price for the second option as well. Your soul will be divided into two. Now, during the process of becoming a God, the strange energy of the Universe will protect you during that time, and thus your soul being split in half will be a controlled process, and you will not die from it. However, it will still be somewhat dangerous for your soul. ”
