101 The Origin of the Gods
Ilya’s invitation was too sudden, and Ning Shi was caught off guard.
“Lady Ilya, although I don’t know the specific contents of the companion contract, from the name of the contract, it should be that after signing it, we will be companions who will fight side by side.
“We’ve only met for the first time today, and you’re already asking me to sign this kind of contract. Furthermore, you’re obviously stronger than me. I don’t know what you value about me. ”
“Or rather, what’s your ultimate goal in signing a companion contract with me? ”
Ilya’s eyes flickered, and she looked a little lonely. She drank another glass of wine.
“It’s a long story. I’ll explain the companion contract to you.
“This is an extremely precious contract unique to the Taikoo dragon race. Every Taikoo dragon can only have one combat partner in their entire life.
“After signing it, we will become partners who trust each other. Both sides are equal, and there are no mandatory terms.
“After becoming partners, we have two abilities. One is to restrict the other. We cannot attack each other, or we will suffer the backlash of the contract. The attack power will be borne by us.
“The other is summoning. No matter where you and I are, we can use the summoning ability to summon the other person to our side.
“Summoning doesn’t consume any power. As long as he is willing, the summoner can stay at the summoning location until the summoner stops summoning.”
“I want to sign a contract with you because I’m proficient in the path of the soul. In my eyes, your Soul Fire is dark green, indicating that you like order and peace in your heart.
“The color of emotions is basically a mild yellow. You are very open when you communicate with me and didn’t lie.
“It was only when I said that I’ve seen many transmigrators that your emotion turned dark red. It should be due to shock.”
Ning Shi forced a smile unnaturally, drank a cup of wine, and directly requested.
“If you can, please don’t use this ability. I don’t like the feeling of being seen through.”
Ilya nodded. “I’m sorry, I’m being presumptuous. Although we haven’t known each other for long, I can basically tell that you’re a good person.”
This was a good guy card. Ning Shi rubbed his nose.
What Ilya said next made him even more embarrassed.
“After I transformed into a human, you peeked at my chest 5 times, my legs 7 times, and my butt 11 times. I poured you wine, but you peeked at my hands.”
This is also a plus point. It shows that you are a real and honest person, not good at pretending.”
Ning Shi’s instinctive behavior was discovered. He coughed to clear his throat, picked up the bottle, and filled the two people’s cups, using his actions to cover up the awkwardness.
In the dragon culture, there was no concept of chastity. Ilya finished the wine Ning Shi had poured and looked at Ning Shi seriously.
“I came to the World of Moen when I was very young. I don’t have a dragon partner yet, nor have I used a companion contract.
“After signing the companion contract, if you have any physical needs, I can satisfy you.
“I’ll say this first, the dragon race has a special body structure, and humans basically can’t withstand it. If you’re too fast, don’t feel embarrassed, as long as you feel comfortable.”
Ning Shi couldn’t resist these words. He drank a cup of wine and changed the topic.
“What’s the second reason? You won’t choose me as your combat partner simply because I’m not bad in nature.”
Upon seeing Ning Shi’s defeated look, Ilya’s big blue eyes turned into crescents as she laughed.
“The second reason is that I want to leave this world.”
Ilya stared at Ning Shi nervously and asked word by word, “Your Excellency Ning Shi, I know the insight technique too. Although you have a supreme treasure on you and helped you conceal the information, I can sense that you have a way to leave this world, right? ”
Ning Shi did not hide or lie but answered frankly.
“That’s right, I have a clue.”
There was no need for Ning Shi to hide it. With Ilya’s perverted spiritual power and soul-detection abilities, lying would not work on her.
“You want to sign a companion contract with me and summon you after I return to my own world? ”
Ilya nodded, and Ning Shi asked doubtfully, “With your strength, you should be invincible in the World of Moen, right? Who can make you stay?
“As you said before, the barrier of the World of Moen is very fragile. You can leave if you want, why would you waste your precious companion contract?”
Ilya did not answer Ning Shi’s question directly. She stood up and walked to the embossed on the palace wall, pointing at one of the beastman sculptures.
This beastman had an ugly appearance and held a spear. He wore heavy armor and had a crazed look on his face.
“This is the so-called Beastman God, Guevsh, is a chaotic and despicable madman. Your Excellency Ning Shi, do you think that its appearance fits the image of a god in your imagination?”
Ilya spoke the common language of the humans in the World of Moen, and she used “it” to address him.
Ning Shi could feel the disdain in her words for these gods.
“And this fat meatball is the god of strength, Torrell. He’s still struggling to survive in his Divine Kingdom.”
From left to right, Ilya introduced them all the way, showing the images of the gods to Ning Shi one by one.
In the end, she concluded, “These so-called gods are all thieves.
“In the World of Moen, there is not a single God that uses their own power to light up their divine fire, condense their divine persona, and rule their divine title.”
Ning Shi listened attentively. Ilya glanced at him and continued.
“After you experience many worlds in the future, you will sense that every independent world has a special existence. You can call it the world’s will, the heavenly Dao, the god of heaven, the god of creation, or a large collection of the laws of the world’s operation. It does not have an active consciousness and only operates passively to protect the normal development of the world.
“Visitors from other worlds like us are unstable factors in the world’s development and will be rejected by him.
“Usually, the world’s will is hidden and extremely difficult to discover.
“About 10,000 years ago, the will of the World of Moen suddenly appeared. At that time, a group of stronger species seized the opportunity and stole a part of the will.
“They relied on the world’s essence power to ignite their divine fire, seized the power of the law to condense their divine personas, and then extended different divine titles through different power of the law.
“In order to ensure the stability of their divine positions, they tricked their believers and used the faith of intelligent creatures as nutrients to replenish their divine power.
“The gods were born.”
Ning Shi was a little confused and asked, “If that’s the case, we can only say that the gods seized the opportunity, but we can’t say that they’re thieves, right? ”
After introducing the specific image of the god, Ilya sat back on the chair and poured two more glasses of wine before answering.
“There are three main reasons why I call them thieves. The first is that their way of strengthening themselves is at the cost of damaging the world’s will.
“They stole the power of the world will, causing the World of Moen to become weak. The world barrier is extremely fragile, and the entire world is like a leaking ladle with many transmigrators.
“The second reason is that they had fooled the species of the world for the sake of their faith. They had consumed the soul resources of the entire world and hindered the normal operation of the world.
“The last and most important point is that these gods don’t deserve to be called gods. They are considered strong among their own race, but they were essentially weak and ordinary species, unable to control the power of the gods.
“After becoming a god, they will be completely eroded by the power of the law and become slaves to the divine title.
The Beastman God, Guevsh’s divine title is chaos and war. He doesn’t care about the life and death of his own race at all. In order to strengthen his divine power, he started wars everywhere. His actions are also extremely chaotic. There is only chaos and war in him. When has he ever had his own free will?”
“Gods like the god of shadow and the god of love are even worse. As for the god of wisdom and the god of justice, they are even funnier. They don’t understand what wisdom and justice are at all. After becoming gods, their various actions are like a clumsy clown.”
Ilya’s description made Ning Shi think of a sentence in the Yunmeng Kingdom’s divine book, the Book of Changes.
“The heavens are vigorous, and a gentleman never stops improving himself. The earth is vast, and a gentleman should carry things with his virtue.
“Without virtue, even with wealth, status, power, and strength, one could not control it.
“Without virtue, the final result would be to lose oneself in wealth and power.”
Gods being bound and enslaved by divine titles sounded ridiculous, but it was inevitable when one thought about it.
It was because the gods of the World of Moen lacked accumulation. It was both fortunate and unfortunate that they had reached the heavens in one step.
After talking about the gods, Ilya finally got to the point.
“In order to ensure the normal development of the world, World of Moen will begin to repair the world barrier. Because the power of natural laws is stolen, the world will instinctively choose the most economical way to repair it.
“First, one would have to repair the hole in the World of Moen.
“If the holes in the world barrier are seen as passages, then the current passages are all in the shape of cobblestones, big on the outside and small on the inside.
“It will be very easy for people outside to come in, but it is especially difficult for people inside to go out.
“A thousand years ago, a large number of gods fell, and the power of the world’s will strengthened. It became even more difficult to leave the World of Moen.”
