Chapter 71 (1/2)

The Ancient Forest was a boundless forest. It was said when this world was just created, the God of Light and the God of Darkness had a big fight, and their blood was mixed together and the most original form of life was born from this mixed blood. In fact, most of the blood became the God of Life, and the rest of blood soaked into the ground, and thus a boundless and dense forest appeared which was the southern forest that we saw in the center of the continent.

This forest was the God of Life’s favorite, and since then she had been living in this forest for a long time with all the creatures she had created. Until the Year of Ruin, the battle between the God of Light and the God of Darkness was over and both of them died. Because of their death, the core of the world began to shake severely, and the four elements; earth, water, wind, and fire all became various monsters that were quickly involved in a big war with the Gods. The war was a total disaster for the human race and many people and other creatures died. The God of Life was almost heartbroken when she saw this all happening, so she pulled out a sword and began to fight with the monsters. She divided the world into different Plates, removed the Gods from the forest and made the rule of the world.

After this, the God of Life ran out of all her strength and died. Until now, the great priesthood of “life” was still not claimed. Although there were many Gods that had the power that would make them only barely qualified for this priesthood, not a single God dared to manage this priesthood. It was said that the will of the God of Life was still in this forest, and her will was still guarding the world she loved so much. If there was a extremely powerful being that came into the Main Plate, her will would be exacerbated and change into the magnificent lightning and thunder and kill the intruder on the spot.

In the past, the God of the Thunder of the first generation considered himself the strongest among all the other Gods. Besides being solely in charge of the priesthood of thunder, lightning, ruin and things alike, he thought he could withstand the lightning and thunder from the will of the God of Life. Then he boldly walked into the Main Plate and wanted to take control of this world.

And the result? Every time after the sun went down, people could see a bright moon slowly move across the sky, and this moon was the remains of the God of Thunder.

All these years, over ten extremely powerful beings have been killed by the lightning and thunder. The rule “not a single extremely powerful being may ever step foot into the Main Plate” had finally become a rule that was obeyed by all the other powerful Gods, as well as those monsters.

Now, even those powerful beings who were just half-Gods were making preparations to leave the Main Plate, since they had no idea who would be next to be hit by the lightning and thunder.

For the Gods who lived in the human society, most of them were just the doppelgängers of themselves. They did not live in the Main Plate with their real bodies; they just copied their own mind and put it into a body that only had a small amount of magical energy, and this was the so-called “God’s living in the human world.”

If there was a God who came to the Main Plate with his real body, they would have to temporarily make the place their own Holy Kingdom and separate this place from the Main Plate. Doing this would cost them a huge amount of magical energy, so even the most powerful Gods would not easily came to the Main Plate with their real bodies; not to mention there was a chance that they could get into a fight with others.

What if their temporary Holy Kingdom was destroyed during the fight, and then their power began to permeate the area? The next minute they would be hit by the lightning and thunder…

Anyone who was sensible enough to think of this would control their temper no matter how angry they were at that time.

As for one who lost their temper, well, they were sure to be hit by the lightning and thunder and die.

“…how marvelous that scene must be, just think about it! The Gods are hit by the lightning from the sky one by one! This God of Life is really mighty!” After finishing this story, Sui Xiong was really impressed by the God of Life and kept praising her, “If she were still alive, I would definitely give her a thumbs up and say to her— Madame, you are really tough!”

Ray was staring at the dim sky. After a while, he shook his head and sighed.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, it seems that… the God of Life is indeed dead,” Ray said in a very melancholy way. “If not, you would have already been hit by the lightning and thunder and been dead by now!”

Hearing his words, Sui Xiong became speechless, while Steele burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that she began to roll about on the ground.

“What’s so funny?” Ray was confused.

“What? You don’t see me rolling about on the ground?” Steele instantly stopped rolling. “Why haven’t you told me earlier, it is really tiring to roll on the ground.”

Sui Xiong was amazed by this and began to laugh.

There were so many flourishing trees in the Ancient Forest, and it was not a very dangerous place. This forest was the cradle of the fairies. It was said that the God of Life once created the earliest intelligent species— the advanced fairies. As time went by, the advanced fairies could no longer be seen anymore, but their offspring, who were still called the fairies, lived in this forest until today.

The fairies that were mostly seen were: tree fairies, suburb fairies and sun fairies.
