555 On Mountain Without End, There is a God Part 2 (1/2)
Hidden amidst the grasses and trees along the way were the parasites. These parasites attacked by using a Soul spell to cause their targets to lose control first, then they would burrow through the body and infiltrate the brain.
Even without the mark of the bond, Luola's soul was too strange to be used as a target. The parasites only chirped, but did not attempt to attack the sprinting Luola.
They were still incapable of going up against a demon even if they tried their hardest.
Luola's senses were extremely sharp, especially towards creatures that were near him. Even if they were much stronger than him, he would still be able to detect them. Along the way, he could sense that there were countless parasites that wanted to attack him. Precisely because his senses were sensitive enough to detect all these things is why it was so terrifying. ”On the Mountain Without End, there was a God that has yet to wake.”
This was what Nailisi had said and he believed every single word now. He had never seen such creatures before and he dared not entirely trust his life to a bond. If he was surrounded by the parasites and there turned out to be a loophole, then he was finished.
What Luola did not know was that after Saleen had left, Nailisi took the chance to devour Ismail's divine crystal under the protection of Jola and Su. Now, Nailisi possessed a large amount of Holy Prose and her sensitivity towards godly powers had improved dramatically.
After a month of deep sleep, Nailisi had absorbed some of Ismail's abilities. If she could devour his body, Nailisi would immediately develop her fourth special ability, rather than it being just a vague feeling.
The length and width of the Myers Mainland was not even one-hundred and eight-thousand miles. The height of the Mountain Without End was so long that if it was laid down horizontally, it could definitely split the Myers Mainland in half. With such a big piece of land, it should come as no surprise that there would be gods here.
The Mountain Without End was transported over from the giant dimension. After the Goddess died, there was nothing else to stop the mountain from developing spirituality and producing Gods.
Nailisi was willing to stay obediently in camp because she had already obtained a large amount of knowledge through Ismail. She now understood how terrifying this dimension was.
The humans at that time were able to extract large amount of materials from other dimensions. This allowed the Goddess to quickly build up this dimension that was filled with various substances.
The humans at that time possessed such abilities too. To them, creating a dimension was meaningless and was a waste of effort when they could easily travel across all dimensions. The land, mountains, rivers and stars of this dimension were not created by the Goddess, but were transported over by humans for the Goddess to control.
That river that could submerge any object was probably the River of Nothingness from the abyssal plane. Further away was the jungle that seemed to have no boundaries, and was probably taken from the elf dimension. As for the land, its depth was thicker than the boundaries of the Myers Mainland. It was probably something similar to a complete and whole crust from the subcontinent plane.
If this mountain could produce Gods, then so could the River of Nothingness. Even the jungles, lakes, stars and basically everything possessed such a possibility now that the Goddess was no longer in control.
Based on this point alone, the Goddess must be revived. Many Gods would be produced in this dimension otherwise. These Gods were not produced on the Myers Mainland, so they were not restricted to only one dimension. Once they decided to leave this dimension, the Myers Mainland would be at risk of being conquered.
These Gods would destroy the barriers between dimensions and gather all the creatures from their own dimensions to replace the humans on the Myers Mainland.
This was the most effective way to conquer a dimension, unlike what the Lord of Glory was doing by spreading his faith amongst the human population.
The reason why Nailisi had instructed Luola to destroy the two mages completely was to prevent any shards of their souls from being left behind. If the Gods here became conscious and were able to recognize the unique features of the human soul, they would be able to find its weakness immediately.
Gods did not have souls. Compared to all other sentient creatures, gods were actually pitiable. Without souls, Gods could only exist within a dimension and depend on the dimension's powers to prolong their own lifespan. If gods desired to leave their own dimensions, they would either have to advance to a higher level or spread their faith in other dimensions.
By right, the gods that would be produced in this dimension did not belong to the Myers Mainland dimension. Since they were controlled by the Goddess prior to being produced, they would be able to survive on the Myers Mainland though. They would already bare the marks of the Goddess of Myers. The fall of the Goddess gave them the chance for freedom, but similarly, they would all be under her control again if she was revived.
Back when humans helped the Goddess to create this dimension, it was out of gratitude for the Goddess who had created a sun that belonged to the Myers Mainland. Unfortunately, an act of gratitude of the past have now created a potential crisis in the present.
Nailisi understood this, so even if the Goddess had not left behind a bond, she would still have convinced Saleen to spread the Goddess' faith again so that she might be revived.
At first, Nailisi did not really care if humans were to survive or perish. Ever since she could travel from the Myers Mainland dimension to the demon dimension, she had treated the Myers Mainland dimension as one of her targets.
She was under Saleen's control so even if she summoned many demons and formed them into an army, it would not be considered as an invasion of Myers Mainland. Helping Saleen to gain control of the Myers Mainland was like helping herself. Her Master's lifespan was not as long as hers, after one-thousand to two-thousand years later, she would be able to build a demon kingdom on this dimension.
Luola reached camp on the fourth day. He secretly passed Nailisi the two rings and the bottle that contained the corpses of the parasite.
Nailisi asked Eleanor along and the two of them began to dissect the corpse of the parasite.
