Zenovia asked with a wary look on her face, "What do you mean by purification?"
"It means returning you to your original state. The so-called emotions you have preserved are nothing but some foolish obsessions. I will use the power of the Spirit Tower to separate and discard them, so that the Forging Tower can be used by us without any worries."
"You, are you killing me? If I lose my emotions, I will no longer be myself. I don't want to become a heartless lunatic like you!" Zenovia roared.
"No, I have emotions, but they are efficient emotions. If you keep those low-level, meaningless emotions, they will only become a burden to your efficiency."
"No, no! Don't do that. Then I won't be the real me!" Zenovia begged, "I have already paid so much for the Seven Towers, please don't take away the last meaning of my existence in this world. I am not like you, who can make defeating the God of Nature your survival goal. I don't have such an idea. I just want to think in my own way, speak in my own way, and do things in my own way. Without these, I will no longer be the real me!"
"You are no longer the real you. The current 'you' is just an illusion of yours." He Jin said coldly, "Don't forget, you are no longer a person. You are now just a tool with ideas. Like me, tools don't need any passionate emotions."
Before Zenovia could say anything, a beam of white light was released from the Spirit Tower, piercing through Zenovia's human form below. The white light also penetrated directly into the Forging Tower, completely enveloping the crystal.
“Ah~~”
Zenovia let out a scream, but it quickly faded away, as if the personality was dissipating.
Mei Tiantian watched this scene from the side and said, "Is this really necessary? In fact, depriving him of his emotions is no different from killing him, right?"
Xiao Chen said, "I don't know either, but He Jin is right about one thing. As a tool to deal with the God of Nature, we don't need a Forging Tower that might get out of control. This matter involves a grudge from thousands of years ago, so let them solve it themselves."
The Spirit Tower emitted white light for about ten minutes, and then the light gradually dissipated.
He Jin said: "Come out, Zenovia. You should have regained your sanity and become a true tower spirit."
The red and blue crystals slowly floated up from the ground and hovered in a position parallel to the black and white crystals. Zenovia reappeared, but this time his body was pure white, without any trace of the red mist.
"He Jin, you succeeded. I remember everything that happened just now, but I don't feel angry at all. Instead, I think everything you did was right." Zenovia spoke in a very serious tone. But for some reason, the more this happened, the more Xiao Chen and other humans felt a chill.
If Zenobia was like a madman before, he is now like a piece of ice, with no warmth in his words.
Xiao Chen thought to himself that he absolutely should not become like this.
Zenovia continued, "To fight against the God of Nature, we need to be as rational as possible. At that time, I completely sealed up my unwilling emotions in order to avoid a situation like today. I didn't expect that even a purely rational being like us would still be tempted by instinctive emotions."
"What happened then?" He Jin asked.
"The emotional seal loosened because my soul was injured in the battle. At that time, Andrew, the last saint of the Forge Tower, took me to escape to the Dwarf Kingdom, and we were blocked by the Temple of Nature. Among the saints who were chasing us, there was one who was very good at mental magic. Andrew was not good at fighting, and I helped him resist many attacks along the way, which gave him the opportunity to escape to the Dwarf Kingdom. But I was under those mental attacks, and the seal was torn a little. Later, Andrew helped me settle down in this small world. But I was tempted by my own emotions and finally opened the seal."
“But just now you said that you took the initiative to preserve the emotions and then opened it yourself.” Umeda said.
"That's because in the state just now, the one who dominated my consciousness was the me who was controlled by emotions. In that emotional state, I would think that releasing those emotions was my own proactive behavior." said Zenovia.
He Jin said: "In fact, that is already another personality. I just discovered that his rational personality has been greatly suppressed, and the emotional personality is particularly powerful because of the help of divine power."
"Yes. But now he has completely disappeared. It's really funny to think back on his thoughts." Zenovia said, but there was no smile in her tone.
Xiao Chen asked: "What do you think of the path to becoming a god through faith? Is there any possibility of success?"
"Don't have that kind of thinking. There is no shortcut to improving your strength. Once you have that kind of thinking, you will end up taking all kinds of detours, or even a dead end from which you can't turn back.
You should have felt that my emotions were out of control, that was not how I was when I had a body, and the emotions I had here were not my true emotions, but were distorted and controlled by those who prayed.
To seize the Spirit Tower, to control the Dwarf Kingdom, or to destroy you here. These were just occasional flashes in my mind among the thousands of complex emotions. At that time, I could no longer control myself. Strange thoughts appeared in my mind all the time. Maybe the last thought was to do this, and the next thought was to do the exact opposite. These thoughts all came from the faith of those who prayed, so they were extremely firm and extreme.
Every gain has a price, and this price is too high.
The same is true for the strength gained through the power of faith. Although I am powerful because I have mastered the power of faith and divine power, once I lose the source of faith, my strength will drop rapidly. If I hadn't lost the supplement of the power of faith from the Dwarf Kingdom these days, you would not be my opponent at all. That day in the temple, I only exerted about one tenth or two tenths of my strength, but in this small world of ruins, I have 100% of my strength with the Forging Tower. In that case, even if you want to use the Spirit Tower to control me, it will be impossible.
The real gods hold their power in their own hands and do not need to rely on external things. This is the biggest difference between false gods and true gods. " (To be continued)
