"who!"

Atwood, who was unable to get up for the time being, turned his head slightly and shouted loudly, but what caught his eyes was a pair of white gloves painted with magic patterns and a strange mask. At the same time, the moment Atwood turned his head, the white hood had already grasped the staff in the array into his hand...

"you……"

Seeing that the artifact that he regarded as life, [Ogas's Will] was taken away so easily, Atwood immediately felt like he was burning to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, his body could not move half an inch, and only his head could move slightly. Just as he was shaking his body unwillingly, a white figure walked out from behind him and slowly came to him...

"You said your name is Atwood, right?"

Under Atwood's eyes that wanted to eat people, Yue Yulou slowly sat on a chair in front of him, lowered his head and played with the [Will of the Ogas] in his hand. At the same time, Arucardo and Crasud also stood on both sides of him. After hearing Yue Yulou's words, Atwood's first reaction was that the other party had been lurking beside him, but as a fifth-level master, he did not notice the other party's breath at all.

"The artifact...who are you? Why do you know the existence of this place...I have been hiding for hundreds of years, and there is no possibility of any omission."

Suddenly, Atwood, who had slowly calmed down, vaguely felt something seemed to be above his head. He then raised his head slightly and suddenly found a small silver hourglass floating on his head at some point, and he was also very familiar with the aura on the hourglass. At that time, the huge energy that only magical tools could possess was surging.

"Well..."

Yue Yulou slowly raised his head, looked at Atwood carefully for a while, and then chuckled:

"Before we answer your question... Mr. Atwood, can you answer a few questions first?"

"Hmph... say something."

Atwood, who knew the power of the artifacts very well, decisively gave up his unnecessary resistance, but his expression still seemed very unwilling and angry. After all, in his consciousness, he was almost able to become the Dragon God a little bit.

"Haha, can Mr. Atwood tell us, what is your full name?"

“Atwood Hug Butz Jaredell.”

"Jerry Del...it sounds familiar, I think about it..."

As soon as he heard Atwood's surname, countless incoherent fragments flashed through Yue Yulou's mind. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and whispered:

"Oh... I remember it, it's the elves family that always produces big druids. It seems that this family is still a very prominent clan among the elves..."

Whether it was because he learned the secret in the other party's surname or because he had recovered some memory, Yue Yulou seemed in a good mood. He handed [Ogas' Will] to Arucardo's hand, then walked to Atwood, half-squatted down, carefully looked at the other party's appearance and slightly red skin, and then half-questioned and half-guessed:

"If your father is an elf, your mother... should be a demon, right?"

"So what, what do you want to express? Do you want to say that you are the messenger of justice and want to destroy me, the evil being, on behalf of the Dragon God."

"Half-elves, half-demons, it seems that I remember correctly..."

Just when Atwood was wondering why the other party didn't solve himself immediately and started talking to himself, Yue Yulou slowly stood up and sat back on the chair again...

"Atwood, if I read it right, you want to use [The Will of the Ogas] and the Mother of Ten Thousand Trees to absorb divine power and turn yourself into a dragon god, right?"

"How did you... know?"

"I know more than that... I also know that the array you are using is called the Dragon Formation. This array requires a magical artifact and miracles as the core. After activation, the user can absorb a large amount of divine power that is free from the land, air, sunshine, water... and all things, and there is a considerable possibility of being promoted to the Dragon God. I was right, right?"

"You! Who is it..."

Hearing this, Atwood's mind was completely confused. He felt that everything about him seemed to be exposed under the strange mask...

"I also know, the names of the people who created this array..."

Before Yue Yulou could finish his words, Atwood suddenly raised his head and shouted:

"Impossible! The person who created this array is a demigod who has been hidden for thousands of years. In this world, there will definitely be no ninth person who knows his name except me and the Dragon Gods!"

But his indignation was only exchanged for Yue Yulou's deep laughter. Yue Yulou raised his right hand slightly, then gently shook his index finger and said lightly:

"…that person is called…Sasus.”

"you……"

Looking at Atwood's shocked expression, Yue Yulou suddenly felt a sense of happiness in success for some reason. However, what he didn't notice was that when he said another name, the body of Carucardo, who was standing on his right, which was originally motionless like a sculpture, suddenly trembled slightly for a while, but it quickly calmed down again...

"So what if I know, if it weren't for you, the despicable guy, I've become the Dragon God at this time!"

However, Atwood's persistence was obviously beyond Yue Yulou's imagination. Until this time, he still did not give up on his dream of becoming a dragon god. Seeing his stubborn look on his face, Yue Yulou immediately thought of some unpleasant things that happened in the past, and he immediately interrupted the other party's words with a loud shout.

"madness!"

Atwood, who was shouted by Yue Yulou, couldn't react at all, and Yue Yulou's originally good mood suddenly became a little bad again. He looked at Atwood coldly, and then said word by word:

"Atwood, you are also a fifth-level strongman. You should be aware of Yashan's power principle, that power that is obtained without effort does not exist."

"Hmph, that's just a rule set by the Dragon God and used to play with the laws of the world. As long as you become the Dragon God, the laws and other things are not controlled at will."

"Ask? Haha..."

When Yue Yulou heard Atwood's words, he suddenly laughed in anger. He slowly stood up, walked to Atwood, lowered his head, and said in a very contemptuous tone like watching a stray dog ​​on the street:

"...I originally thought you were an amazing character, but now it seems that you are just a poor person fooled by power. With your state of mind, if you had not inherited the excellent bloodline of your parents and the paving of magical artifacts, you probably wouldn't be able to reach the fourth level now."

"You...hum! Anyway, I'm in your hands now, you can say whatever you want."

"Oh? Are you not convinced? I think what I said is wrong? Then let me ask you, in your mind, what kind of person should God be? What kind of person is qualified to become God?"

Atwood was stunned. He obviously hadn't thought about this kind of thing, but he didn't want to give in front of Yue Yulou. So after thinking a little, he hesitated to answer:

"This... is it necessary to say that God is of course able to manipulate all living things at will, act willfully, and be free of restraint. Creation and destruction are all in one thought. Only the strongest, who can understand the essence of the world, are qualified to become the dragon god!"

The more he talked about it, Atwood seemed more excited, but soon he found that Yue Yulou's shoulders were shaking slightly, and at the same time, a wave of depressed laughter slowly came from his mask, and he seemed to be listening to a ridiculous story...

"Haha... So that's it. It turns out that God is such a cheap existence in your mind. He can control all living things at will, act freely, and is free from restraint. Creation and destruction are all in one thought... Should you add that there are countless beauties in the harem, all enemies are dead, those who have been kinship and suffering are developed, and those who have some hatred with you are destroyed, etc. What if you do such a god is interesting... And you say that the strongest can become a god, there is no mistake. Indeed... If you are not strong, how can you eliminate those who are against you, how can you collect thousands of beauties, and how can you 'manipulate all living things at will'? Isn't it?"

"you……"

Yue Yulou's words obviously made Atwood a little difficult to accept, but he could not find a reason to refute. At the same time, he also vaguely felt that there seemed to be some essential mistake in the past...

"But, unfortunately, Atwood, in this world, God is not as cheap and boring as you think. Do you know what is the most important condition for becoming God?"

As he said that, what his brother had said to him slowly appeared in Yue Yulou's mind...

"To be God, you must abandon useless feelings, useless obsessions, useless delusions, useless hopes... God must be absolute, emotionally unfair. Before there is no absolute reason, even if your closest relative dies before you, you cannot help. Even if the person you love the most is about to die, you cannot help. This is God, the ruthless and righteous God, the cold God like a machine."

"I don't believe it! If God is really as you said, then why are there so many disputes in this world, why are there [Elder Wars], and why are there such a race of demons?"

"Because... disputes and conflicts are indispensable to this world. If there are no such things, the world will be silent and without any progress. You also know clearly [Elder War], right? Then do you really think that the dragon gods will argue because of the believers? I can tell you clearly that the number of believers has no meaning to the Dragon God and will not have any impact. Even if the Dragon God in the Sky does not have a believer, it is still the Dragon God. It is undeniable! Everything in the world has nothing to do with the Dragon God. Although the worship of the world and respecting the Dragon God can all feel it, it is just a feeling, just like walking by the river.

The breeze blowing through, even without you, there will be no discomfort... The dragon gods have almost no feelings, no **, maybe they have some personalities, but that is just because of the characteristics of the elements that make up them... Think carefully, did the Dark Dragon provide any help when the Faceless is defeated? When the angels were almost killed by the demons, what did Ellath do? Did Sirena take action during the turmoil of the elves? No... The dragon gods will not interfere with the world because of their own feelings, and when they interfere, it means that the world is distorted by unreasonable forces..."

"How is it possible...what is it that meaning to be a god..."

"Meaning...no meaning. God is something that should not exist. It belongs to the [unreasonable power]. This is the conclusion drawn by the dragon gods themselves. The world actually does not need God. Everything has its own laws. Everything will develop along a certain trajectory. Therefore, even if there is no God in the world, it will still develop, but the path is different... But the appearance of God disrupts this law. God is unreasonable, so there are many unreasonable distortions in the world where God exists. The meaning of God's existence is to correct these unreasonable. In other words, God himself is the value of God's existence, which is ridiculous... But in this world, the fact is..."

"Then is it related to God and what is the connection... Even so, God can still do what he wants to do after completing his work, or..."

Hearing this, Yue Yulou shook his head gently, and then continued:

"Atwood, why have you lived for hundreds of years but still so naive... God himself is an unreasonable existence, so everything God does is actually unreasonable. Everything... Even if you just say a word to the world, it will cause unimaginable waves and cause greater distortion to the world. Therefore, the dragon gods basically do nothing except maintaining the necessary elemental balance of the continent... And when it comes to feelings, do you think it is really a good thing for God to have feelings?"

"this……"

"At least I think that God has feelings is not a good thing for the world... because once he has feelings, he will have a chance and will not be able to withstand loneliness... Although the cold and ruthless, ignorant God sounds uncomfortable, and sometimes fate is really unfair. Good people often suffer, and bad people often die well, but... Even such a mechanical God can still ensure the normal operation of the world. Once he has feelings, he may be impulsive, may do extra things, and may make mistakes... People may have no problem, after all, no matter how big a mistake a person can make, but God cannot... Becoming God means being one with the whole world, so God's every move is involved

The whole world, even if it is a small mistake, will cause the world to be destroyed in unimaginable ways, and this price... in the end it will be borne by the creatures on the continent. Just like the elemental dragon god who only sleeps for a moment, the elemental balance of the continent will be chaotic... So the things that people talk about as they like, treat rules as toys, and even act like the emperor of humanity, even if they have great power, even if they can live forever, they are not worthy of being called [God], and they cannot truly merge with the world. At most, they are just a stronger creature, because they have not become the heart that a god should have, a cold, absolutely neutral heart..."

"This... I don't care about this! I only know that if I become God, with absolute power, I can do everything I want to do, and I can have everything in the world!"

"idiot!"

Looking at Atwood, who was already a little crazy, Yue Yulou slapped him suddenly, then threw the hourglass on his head aside. Atwood instantly wanted to attack Yue Yulou, but soon he felt that his power seemed to be bound by something. Then Yue Yulou pulled his collar and lifted him up from the ground. Then he stared at the other person with his eyes, and said word by word in a cold tone:

"Then think about why that demigod has not become a dragon god after a thousand years. Being a god will not have everything, but will only lose everything. The dragon god is not the master of the world, but the slave of the world! They are the roots of the unreasonable power of the world, and exist only for [unreasonable], and run around, but there is nothing of one's own thing, feelings, personality, relatives, subordinates, everything, everything of them belongs to the whole world... The only benefit is that your original power has grown to a new level... But! Atwood, Buzz, Jaredell, tell me,

Can you put the enemies who killed your parents in front of you, but still remain calm? Can you help the elves when the world needs you to help them? Can you do it, after learning that their biological parents have distorted the essence of the world because of their existence, you can do it, after you have done what you should do, you gradually hide into the myth and eventually forget your name by everyone, a person has no meaning in eternal loneliness... Tell me! Can you do this!"

"Then can the Dragon God do it now?"

"Can... or they are already doing it, have you not noticed it? As time goes by, the Dragon God appears less and less. There is almost no new news about the Dragon God in the past one hundred years... And I can also tell you clearly that in no time, the Dragon God will all hide into a place that has no connection with the world, and the world will eventually no longer have God! And this is also the last work of God, erasing all the unreasonable existences of Mount Ya, including themselves... Do you have this kind of enlightenment? Can you achieve such absolute competence and neutrality?"

"I……"

Yue Yulou's words obviously completely destroyed Atwood's worldview. He seemed extremely confused at this time, and his eyes completely lost their color. Yue Yulou immediately threw him back to the ground and said lightly:
Chapter completed!
