Chapter 482 Warning
"And why do you think she didn't take any precautions?"
"Ugh?"
Ji Dong was stunned when she heard this. Why did she think she didn't take any precautions? The forest monsters were almost exterminated. How could they take any precautions?
However, before Ji Dong could finish his words, Xu Xingyu continued to speak on her own, "Ji Dong, you must understand that even if it is something that the gods left behind in the world, its energy will dissipate over time."
"You have a good relationship with the forest monsters. When you were communicating with them, did they mention any disasters they had suffered before? You know, they hold the Source of Life, a heaven-defying healing medicine. How could they be in trouble now?"
"This......" Ji Dong began to think carefully after Xu Xingyu said that. It turned out that Elder Sen Yao had indeed said that before they were deceived by the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce, they had never suffered such a terrifying attack.
The forest monsters do not need to rely on hunting for a living, but simply rely on nature's creations such as fruits and vegetables to maintain their survival. Therefore, they are rarely troubled by monsters and the like.
But it is very strange that it has never been attacked by humans before. You know, the news about the source of life was released before the establishment of the Holy Evil Island, which was about thousands of years ago.
Although the forest they are in now cannot be said to be a must-pass route, many magicians come here to hunt monsters and obtain crystal cores.
Are these forest monsters so lucky that they can stay in this forest without being discovered by others about their technology of brewing the source of life?
"Could it be?" Ji Dong has begun to see part of the truth.
Xu Xingyu nodded upon seeing this, "Just as you thought, before the Goddess of Nature ascended to the divine realm, she left a part of her divine consciousness behind to protect the forest monsters. It is precisely because of that divine consciousness that they have not been disturbed by humans for thousands of years."
"But the energy of divine consciousness is not omnipotent. Without the gods' own replenishment, it will dissipate sooner or later. If it is not used frequently, I estimate that it will be fine for tens of thousands of years, but if it is used frequently for hundreds of years, it will be completely consumed."
"And the backup plan left by the Goddess of Nature can protect the forest monsters for thousands of years under normal conditions. This can be regarded as the importance that the Goddess of Nature places on her believers."
"So that's how it is." Ji Dong scratched his head and said, "So the Goddess of Nature didn't use her backup plan in this attack because the forest monsters that she had protected for many years had already been consumed. In addition, the law that gods cannot descend to the mortal world means that the Goddess of Nature can only watch in the divine world when facing this situation."
"Alas, aren't the rules of this divine world a little too strict? Can't they be a little flexible and allow the goddess of nature to replenish the energy of the divine consciousness every once in a while?"
Xu Xingyu shook her head and said, "On the contrary, the disaster that the forest monster suffered this time is one of the reasons why the God Realm has laid down such a law."
"What does this mean?" Ji Dong looked at Xu Xingyu in confusion. "Isn't it said that this law was created mainly because the gods were too powerful and would cause damage to the plane? Is there another reason?"
"Yes." Xu Xingyu said slowly, "That is, I hope the lower world will not rely too much on gods."
"If a race relies too much on the protection of a god, it will either develop at a much faster rate than normal and affect the plane, or it will become too lazy and lose its ambition."
"The experience of the forest monsters is the biggest example. The goddess of nature gave them shelter in order to buy them time to grow stronger. However, under the protection of the goddess of nature, the forest monsters have gained too peaceful a life. Every day they just want to live their own lives. Few people in the entire race have the determination to become stronger."
"So when the protection provided by the goddess of nature is exhausted, once they are exposed to those who spy on the source of their life, they will have no choice but to be hunted. If they had taken the opportunity to become strong enough during the period of protection, there would be no previous war."
"Whether it's this plane or any other plane, only the strong have the final say. If you don't want to be bullied or even sit on the same level with others, then you have to make yourself strong enough that no one can ignore you."
"......"
Ji Dong fell into complete silence, recalling how he had learned in the inner world that the goddess he had a crush on was a real god. He actually felt that he was not worthy of Lie Yan, so he had been practicing desperately since then, hoping that one day he could catch up with the person he loved.
In this war with the Extinction Legion, he had the good fortune to meet Xu Xingyu, the heir to the god who was praised by Lieyan as being able to fight him on equal terms. He also thought that once he became a god, he could do anything.
But after listening to Xu Xingyu's explanation, he also realized that the existence of God has great limitations. It is a bit like a famous quote from a movie he had heard on Blue Star: the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Although this sentence may sound a bit like moral kidnapping from a certain perspective, it also has its own logic. God has many things to take into consideration and is definitely not the kind of person who can do whatever he wants.
On the contrary, if a god acts as he pleases and interferes with the plane whenever he wants, then this will not only hinder the growth of the creatures on the plane, but will also bring disaster to the plane.
But to be honest, this has nothing to do with Ji Dong right now. He only wants to know one thing, "Then I want to know if I become a god, will I be able to protect Lie Yan?"
In response, Xu Xingyu silently replied: "If you want to help the Flame Queen, you have no choice but to become a god, and even then you are not 100% sure of success. Whether you can succeed depends on yourself."
"That's enough." Ji Dong felt relieved after receiving the reply, and he once again reaffirmed his desire to become a god.
After learning that Lie Yan was a truly god-level powerhouse, Ji Dong did not have any distance towards Lie Yan in his heart. Instead, he longed for her to stand by his side and become her lover.
And if he wants to achieve this goal, he must become a god, so he will embark on the path of becoming a god! Even if becoming a god comes with heavy responsibilities, as long as he can be with Lie Yan, he has no regrets!!!
At this moment, Xu Xingyu suddenly said, "I forgot everything after talking so much. I have something I want to ask you to do. After all, I will leave this plane in a few days. Don't worry, I won't let you help me in vain."
"Oh no problem........wait? What do you mean you want to leave this plane?"
"That's literally what it means."
