Three days after the battle to retake the capital, two people wearing cloaks, a man and a woman, appeared at the west gate of the city.
It is called the city gate, but now it is just a place name. Most of the city wall has collapsed, and the west gate has long been reduced to ruins. There is only one sentry post standing there.
Two cloaked men walked to the sentry gate, but all the guards ignored them and allowed them to swagger into the royal capital.
In this city, many soldiers and workers were cleaning up the ruins left by the disaster. These people used their fighting spirit and magic to move and remove everything in this broken city: collapsed stones, people who died in the disaster, and monsters killed by the guards. They burned the human remains and monster bodies they cleaned up separately, and then buried them outside the city. They piled up various bricks and stones together, broke them up and glued them together to make new building materials.
The woman seemed to be accustomed to all this, while the man showed great curiosity. He said, "I have really stayed in the Temple of Nature for too long. I didn't know that the people of the Tower of China have developed to such a level. There are so many warriors and mages among the people they sent to clean up the city. The number is really amazing. Roland once told me that Xiao Chen's ideal is to build a world where everyone can use magic and open the way for everyone to the source of power. I thought he was a boastful braggadocio at the time, but now... maybe the world he described is not so far away from us. It is not unfair that the City of God lost to such a group of people.
And did you notice? Just now, a few workers or soldiers looked in our direction. If the realm difference was not so big, we might have been discovered. It is really surprising that such a talented person is not a temple priest or an apprentice in the magic tower, but is doing something that we used to think was lowly. "
"Alcala, that's why I want you to cooperate with them. Now the last hope lies with them."
"Yes. Your Excellency the Prophet, at this point, I have truly recognized the true face of the God of Nature. The faith I had for so many years collapsed so quickly in just a few days. It's really... a strange feeling. Hehe." The cloaked man was Alcala, the Golden Branch Priest of the Temple of Nature who had been missing for a long time.
"Well, let's go over there. I think they should be waiting for us." said the prophet, He Xiaoxi.
The two men walked through the city and crossed the simple bridge over the river. They saw that several temporary houses had been built near the original location of the Temple of Nature, and there was a circle of fences outside, dividing the area.
This time they did not conceal their aura, so before they reached the door of the house, several people came out one after another. Not only was Xiao Chen here, Luo Ling, Liu Yisheng and other saints who followed other teams also gathered in the capital from all over.
"Xiaoxi, is everything going well?" Liu Yisheng said.
He Xiaoxi pulled down her cloak, revealing a youthful face like a girl: "I have been looking for him recently, Alcala, the last Golden Branch Priest of the Temple of Nature. We need his help in what we are going to do next."
Xiao Chen said: "The disaster on the continent has been almost cleared up. Although the losses are heavy, we still retain most of the high-end forces. Now we need you, the prophet, to tell us what to do next."
"Well, I've found the direction. Let's go in and talk slowly." He Xiaoxi said.
There is a meeting room in the hut. After Xiao Chen and others entered the house, a shield was activated from under the meeting room, completely isolating this world.
He Xiaoxi stood at the front of the conference room and said, "I haven't been here for a while, leaving you all to fight the God City. Thank you for your hard work. On the one hand, if I take action, it will easily alert the God of Nature. On the other hand, I have been looking for clues about the God of Nature."
"Is this the clue to enter the kingdom of the God of Nature?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes." He Xiaoxi nodded. "After practicing in many worlds, I found that to defeat the God of Nature, you need to seize the right opportunity. When a god wakes up completely, he is almost invulnerable. At that time, he can control all his power. This power is already to a level that is difficult for everyone present to imagine and understand. At that time, it is almost impossible to defeat him. However, it is different when he is asleep. His power will be greatly restricted, and our chance has come."
"Is it like killing a person in his sleep?" Luo Ling asked.
"No, the sleeping state of gods and the sleeping state of humans are two different states." He Xiaoxi pointed her finger in the air, and three concentric circles nested together appeared. She pointed to the smallest one and said, "This is the most basic state of gods, containing his most basic consciousness. You can understand that to this extent, he can make some basic reactions to the outside world. For example, the divine punishment launched through the divine city this time is the behavior of this part of consciousness. This part of consciousness, to use an inappropriate metaphor, is like a drunk person. He mostly does things based on intuition and instinct, and his power is the weakest, and his influence on the world is very limited.
But in this state, he can sense danger and discover things that he is particularly concerned about. For example, if I use too much power, he will sense it. Or if our team rushes into his kingdom of God, he will definitely sense it. At this time, he will forcibly awaken the second level of state. "
He Xiaoxi pointed to the circle on the second level and said, "The second level is the state of complete divine consciousness. In this state, he is a true 'person' with clear thoughts and sufficient rationality. He can use a much stronger force than an ordinary saint to fight us. However, only in this state do we have a chance to defeat him. Because in this state, we can understand his state and have the qualifications to fight him."
Seeing that everyone below was looking at her in confusion, the goddess scratched her head and came up with a metaphor: "As saints, you have already mastered some of the rules of the world. The God of Nature in the second state, although he has mastered many more rules than you, and those rules are closer to the essence than your rules, you are still at a similar level."
