The God of Nature's gaze fell on Xiao Chen and his group who had just passed through the portal.
"Twelve people. Better than I thought." The God of Nature did not cast any divine spells, nor did he summon any monsters. It was as if the people who had just come out were not enemies, but passers-by.
The God of Nature at this time, wearing a green robe, had the same body shape as an ordinary person. He stood with his hands behind his back on a round platform not far from Xiao Chen and the others, looking at them indifferently. Beside him was a blue planet that was slowly rotating, like a real sphere. If it weren't for the divine power slowly flowing on his robe, he would have looked like a priest of the Temple of Nature.
However, as soon as Xiao Chen and his party entered the room, they felt that he and the huge image behind him were emitting a pressure like a mountain. He Xiaoxi put his hand on his chest, took a deep breath and said, "What's going on? Why does his pressure feel stronger than before?"
Xiao Chen was even more surprised when he saw the Earth next to him. He didn't know what the God of Nature had discovered. Xiao Chen couldn't be sure whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing if he recalled the past on Earth. But it had come to this point, and the plan had to be implemented no matter what.
He asked He Xiaoxi in the Bridge of Mind: "I feel that the huge figure behind him has a terrible power. What is this?"
He Xiaoxi said: "That is the God of Nature in his third state... but he is more powerful than I have ever felt before. Could it be that he did not show his full power before?"
Xiao Chen asked: "Is that phantom also the god of nature?"
He Xiaoxi said: "The God of Nature with a human body and the God of Nature composed of energy above are one and the same. The pure energy body has no consciousness, but can gather divine power without interference. At the same time, the conscious body can move freely. When the phantom gathers enough energy, the current God of Nature will combine with that energy to produce a God of Nature with complete power. The time for him to combine is very close. Perhaps, if he is forced to combine, he can now awaken most of the power of the third state. We must complete the exile before he uses that power!"
"Is it enough to just exile that human body?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, once the blue body is separated from the consciousness of the God of Nature, it will dissipate into ordinary magic power. His human body is much weaker than that huge image. This is our only hope now." He Xiaoxi once again increased his divine power output, but the pressure on the people around him was reduced very little. The power contained in the phantom was too terrifying. "
Xiao Chen glanced at the God of Nature in front of him. The other party was also looking at him quietly. For a moment, he didn't know how to make a move.
The God of Nature put his hands behind his back and said with a slight smile: "You did a good job. You have come as far as Hastings. Hastings came here alone back then."
He Xiaoxi stood at the front of the crowd and said, "I didn't expect that Hastings was the only one who hurt you and made you sleep for so many years."
"He is a very powerful warrior. However, although he came to this palace alone, he did not fight me alone." A golden mask appeared in front of the God of Nature. This was the key to his injury at that time.
"The Phantom Mask of the God of Wisdom?" He Xiaoxi stared at the mask and recognized its origin. "I didn't know that this thing ended up in Hastings' hands. I didn't know they had any plans to use it."
“You didn’t expect that. In the little game where you played the role of a prophet, humans still didn’t trust you, and they didn’t tell you their real plan. I don’t know how many plans the people in the Seven Towers had made, but the one that came closest to success in the end was this one.” said the God of Nature.
"He must have used the mask to absorb the souls and vitality of many people along the way, so in the end, many saints actually shared the same body and took turns fighting you." He Xiaoxi understood what was going on. She explained to others in the Bridge of Mind: The Phantom Mask of the God of Wisdom is actually a very evil artifact that can absorb a living person into the mask and turn it into a phantom. The user can constantly transform into these people in battle and use their power to fight the enemy. Even if the user dies in battle, he will not die, but will only consume the vitality and soul of the phantom at that time. Even if the body is broken into pieces, it can be resurrected again.
“But after all, divine weapons are only tools of gods, and I am the real god. Even if they paid so many saints’ lives, they couldn’t hurt me too much.” The God of Nature waved his hand to dispel the image of the mask.
"Then didn't you sleep for thousands of years?" He Xiaoxi asked puzzledly.
"That's because I got the chance to evolve. Although I was injured in the battle, a few hundred years is enough for me to recover. But humans are really a race with unique talents. Just like in ancient times, humans taught us how to use magic properly. The magicians of the Seven Towers also let me observe many new things in the battle. Some of their applications of magic gave me some very important inspiration. So, I use the remaining time to improve myself.
For gods like us, it is very difficult to make further progress. Once this opportunity is missed, it is difficult to grasp it again. So I temporarily gave up on destroying the remnants of the Seven Towers on the continent and gave up on looking for you. However, it is all worth it. I am afraid that you have already felt the difference in me now?" When he said these words, the pressure from the shadow behind him became stronger and stronger.
The words of the God of Nature made many people present feel depressed. The Seven Towers paid such a great sacrifice, but the damage to the God of Nature was far less than they expected. They didn't know what the results of their remaining methods would be.
Xiao Chen said in the Bridge of Heart: "Don't panic, maybe what he said now is just alarmist. Even a few hundred years is enough for the outside world to undergo earth-shaking changes.
The current technological level of the Western Continent is equivalent to that of Earth in the 1940s and 1950s, and some places are even stronger. Think about what happened in that world later! Our world still has a chance!"
Xiao Chen's words made everyone present feel a little more at ease.
The God of Nature then said, "But Hastings did not gain nothing. As a reward for being able to come here, I told him some truths, answered his doubts, and then let him return to dust. You can come here today, thanks to many of you. I will also tell you some secrets that you don't know, and then grant you the honor of being buried in this hall. After all, some things are too lonely without anyone to share them with, and those who know these things are not fit to live."
