Chapter 21: Immortal Dragon Scales (8800 Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
【Lord of the Currents: The Ghast of Tambursa】
[Ruler of the Nine Seas and Seas, the protector of all the people of water, the soul of the god who wants to restore the era]
[A spirit of a god that will continue at all costs]
[Direct swallowing, greatly increase the affinity of all water system spiritual power, greatly increase the deterrence of water life, and greatly increase the efficacy of water assistance]
[Spiritual calcination, turned into the spirit of the 'Heart of the Current', attached to all equipment items]
[Forging with a special technique can be forged into the soul soldier of the 'Nine Seas Hongtao Scepter']
[Use a special method to reconcile, after taking it, you can obtain the inheritance of the 'power of the water god']
[Except for their own people, everything is just a small detail that you don't need to care about, this is the arrogance unique to the gods]
[It's just that the arrogant will eventually encounter the more arrogant, and no matter who is aware of this, no matter who is aware of this. After all, the thing of life is nothing more than the reincarnation of repetition of seizing and being seized.
"If I take away others, others will also take away me, so heavenly reason, that's all. It's just how can we get out of this samsara? No one knows what answer should be written on the perfect answer sheet.
The ghast of the water god fluctuated, and after losing the power of its controller, the out-of-control nuclear heart exploded violently, turning his corpse into droplets.
Watching this explosion, retracting the ghast into the soul space, and on the way back to Nether City, Su Sun thought about many things.
The behavior of the god of water and his followers is understandable, in an underdeveloped magical world that is estimated to not even point out the technology developed in other worlds, the destruction and rebirth brought about by the change of epochs are indeed a catastrophe, they are like the three-body people in a science fiction, but they don't even have time to study the catastrophe in the face of disasters, and the progress bar is emptied again and again because of the alternation of eras.
There are several ways in which they continue their civilization. One is to use the recovery of the maze as an opportunity, multiple epochs exchange research data with each other, summarize the data, and pass it on from generation to generation, so that one day, the truth of the epoch replacement can be studied.
The other is to kill each other, compete for the core of the new era that will emerge at the end of the epoch, so as to make themselves and their civilization adapt to the next era.
In fact, the predicament of the world of Tartadis is even bigger than the Trisolarans in that science fiction, at least the Trisolarans are the same race every time they alternate epochs, and there is no obstacle to communication, and after the change of epochs in this world, both the race and the living environment are very different, and it is difficult to communicate with each other and exchange information.
And the most feasible vitality among them is to get those 'epoch cores' in the mouths of the gods, and then become the protagonist of the next era.
It's just that there is only one epoch core, and if one party gets it, will it let the other party live? One side gets it, and the other side won't fight for it? Even if the stronger side wants to be good with others, won't the weaker other parties unite to fight secretly? Will they trust the good intentions of the more powerful side? That must be some kind of trap.
The gods of multiple camps, the possibility of uniting with each other and betraying each other, who can know, and this kind of thing, it is impossible to try the 'possibility' - especially since the civilization born alternately in each era and the previous generation of civilization are different races, and even the living environment is very different, and it is basically impossible to share the core of the era.
Naturally, no one would leave their right to exist in the hands of anyone else.
The safest way is to destroy the other forces and monopolize the core of the epoch yourself.
For this reason, as the god of the strongest civilization, he must recover his power as soon as possible, and blood sacrifice to individuals of other forces is one of the ways.
Of course, all of this sounds like it has nothing to do with Su Sun from another world, killing each other, this seems to be a certain natural law of the other world, the innate prisoner's dilemma, without external force, it is almost impossible to break this cycle, and other people's interference in this process seems to be like forcibly depriving the other party of the right to live, after all, in order to prevent the slaughter, you interfere with the other party's behavior of saving themselves, just like letting the strong die for the sake of the weak, in essence, it is the same bad.
But the slaughter is wrong – for whatever reason.
Su Sun's thinking was as simple as that of a primary school student—since the god of water had made the choice of 'slaughtering other beings in order to survive', then they must have also been prepared to 'be killed by other beings', right?
The power of the Demon Devouring Lord is as simple as that, this is not a magical power that a good person can awaken, but a power that is more evil than evil, more demonic than demons.
As for what reason, what to say to survive, in the final analysis, it is just one of the instincts of survival, and where can you eat and drink? If you have made the judgment of the beast yourself, then it is better not to blame the others for treating them the same way you treated the beast, right?
Civilization is higher than the instinct of the beast**, if even this cannot be surpassed, why bother calling yourself a man instead of a beast?
This is Su Sun's logic, not black and white, but regardless of the deed - it is okay to do evil things with noble reasons, of course, but if other people do the same thing to them, then don't be sympathetic to them, as the so-called do not do to others what you do not want to do to others, on the other hand, since it has been inflicted on others, then being done the same thing by others is also a cycle of heavenly principles, and there should be no opposition.
After all, only reasonable and rational communication is a civilized approach, and the beast kills people, and people have to use reasonable methods and wild ** flow, this is no longer a matter of logic or illogicality, but to stuff the barrel of the gun into the mouth by yourself, and wait for others to pull the trigger - in the face of the beast that culled humans, no matter how civilized people are, they can only choose to kill them.
To put it more simply, the murderer is always killed, so why can't it be him Su Day?
Su Yan himself, but he was ready to die a long time ago, so he made a move. He could have been a bystander of reincarnation, but he just wanted to say no to this reincarnation, in this case, whether he killed the god of water or the god of water killed him, it was the same, and he would not have any complaints.
After all, in his opinion, death is far less terrible than sitting idly by and ignoring the suffering of others, the former is just the extinction of **, while the latter is even the soul is shaken, and the essence of the self no longer exists.
As for Su Sun, it seems that he is an outsider and has no qualifications to make a move on the reincarnation of this world...... Do you still need to be given by others? Su Yan obviously has the strength and motivation to save this world, so he can do this.
The worst, the worst, the lowest and the lowest reason - he was ready to find the Lonely Lord and save the world, if it weren't for these bad things caused by the God of Water on the road, Su Sun would probably be exploring in the gray mist now, or wandering in the deepest part of the labyrinth, looking for the incarnation of the Lonely Lord.
In this case, at the same time as he made the decision to 'prevent the end of the world' at the beginning, this world had already been placed under his 'protection' by Su Sun. And now, in this world, someone is slaughtering the person Su Sun originally wanted to protect, so even if this person should have been part of Su Sun's 'protection', then Su Sun would have attacked him.
Again, the same reason - since they can do this to other people, then other people can do the same to him, don't use morality and their last resort to justify, let's not talk about the fact that they could have solved it by civilized communication, not necessarily by slaughter, even if it is the same use of the logic of beasts, it is reasonable, but it is just violence against violence.
As for qualifications - if a person from another world is not qualified to stop the slaughter that takes place in the native world, then he is not qualified to save the local world.
On the other hand, since Su Sun had already made a decision, when he heard that the world was going to be destroyed, he planned to defeat the incarnation of the Lord of Silence in this world and save this world, then everything in this world, he had to take care of everything, everything in this world had to do with him!
The logic is as simple as that.
"I want to be a catastrophe, Yara."
A young man turned into a dragon, and the voice was so huge that it shook the atmosphere: "An unavoidable disaster and retribution." ”
"If I am a kind of catastrophe, a disaster, a kind of retribution, and I can make retribution for evil, then the gods of this era will not dare to attack each other because of the fear of the retribution I bring, and then communicate peacefully with each other, cooperate with each other, and work together to find a way to survive the end of the era,"
Walking on the road, the scales on Su Tian's body were slowly recovering, and the Great Zhou Tianlan species was also recondensing.
His speed was getting faster and faster in the process of Feng Suke, even faster than his full run at the transcendent level - Su Tian's speed at this time had reached two hundred and seventy meters per second, and if he continued to accelerate, he could even cruise at subsonic speed.
And this is the power of the Commander Rank, Su Sun uses his own power to hook up the power of the Great Source of Heaven and Earth, and Feng Zhu also seems to have evolved, and a single thought can create a strong wind to accompany and slow down the air resistance.
And in the midst of the wind, he said to himself: "The prisoner's dilemma cannot be broken by the people of the inner space, but if there is an outsider, there is me, and there is a 'heavenly calamity' as the most powerful standard to restrict, then everyone does not have to speculate on others with the most malicious thoughts - without worrying about being hurt by others, everyone will definitely be able to get along, and there will never be such a situation again, where the god of water turns to slaughter the people of the earth in order to survive and compete with the god of wind." ”
- If the civilizations of each era are punished for their attempts to harm other civilizations, or even if they refuse to cooperate, then even the most xenophobic and bad races and civilizations can only pinch their noses, sit down with other civilizations, and work together to face the apocalypse.
If there is such a power......
Yara didn't reply to Su Day's 'delusion' for the first time, and there was silence on the road, and only the dragon's regular breathing could be heard.
Then, there was a long sigh, and Su Tian sighed helplessly: "Why not?" ”
At this time, the snake spirit said leisurely, and its tone even carried a hint of nostalgia: "Why can't there be?" ”
"Su Day, if you want to become a Heavenly Tribulation, then why don't you become one? It's just that to become a standard, to become a catastrophe, it takes the most powerful power - aren't you just because your strength is too weak to stop the water god from slaughtering at the beginning, so you are in the current trouble? ”
"I'm not in distress, Yara."
Shaking his head, Su Sun said, "I'm never distressed. I'm just sad for the others...... In the absence of a strong order, evil will only spread unchecked. ”
"Yala, I am the son of the patrol, I was born in the family of the patrol, I was educated by law and order, I originally thought that civilization and law are such a powerful order, which can restrain the people in it from daring to sin, and the offender will be punished, this is a set of man-made catastrophes, man-made retribution, but it is not perfect enough, but it will gradually become perfect."
"But if it rises between civilization and civilization, this set of laws and order becomes invalid, to such a grand point that many people cannot see right from wrong, and cannot judge good and evil—but I know very well that it is only because there is no strong order, a more powerful order that transcends civilization, to decide what cannot be done, what can be done, what is right, and what is sinful."
Civilization, the state, the law, a larger collective of order than man, can judge right and wrong between people.
And the more powerful the being, it can judge the right and wrong of civilization, a nation, a race, and even the world and the world.
Thinking of this, Su Ri looked at Yara with burning eyes, and for the first time, he asked directly: "Yala, you great beings have the power to act as this order, right?" And even if you are sealed, does that mean that there was some kind of 'greater order' before you? ”
If He really exists, then why doesn't He make such a set of eons? Why didn't he see that this set of order had been perfected, so that all of our worlds would no longer have the soil for evil? ”
If there really is such a force that even the great existence is sealed, then if he sets the standard, almost 100% of the life in the multiverse will not dare to be evil, just like human beings obviously have the power to wantonly harm their own kind, and they can hurt their own kind with just a fist, but in modern society, even if there is a quarrel, not everyone is willing to use force to solve the problem.
This is the power of order and standards, which can stop the spread of evil, so that countless small and trivial evils do not occur, and some great evils do not occur—just like the evil created by the mistrust of the people of this world, water, wind, and earth, and the soil no longer appears.
Why not? This is the biggest doubt of the Demon Eater Lord.
"How easy, Su Sun." The sealed snake spirit chuckled and responded, "What you ask for is to use the strongest order and the strongest methods to stop the spread of all evil. However, have you ever noticed that your thoughts are actually 'hindering the freedom of others to do evil'? ”
"If this set of order is implemented perfectly, in the final analysis, won't it seal half the possibility of civilization?"
"Freedom for evil?!" Su Sun looked at Yara with an unbelievable gaze, and with his mode of thinking, he couldn't understand the moment when 'evil' could be compared to 'freedom'.
In his view, there is no need for the possibility of being evil...... The Demon Devouring Lord, the part that belongs to the Demon Lord, makes him not feel that this is actually a problem at all: "This kind of freedom is simply disgusting and wants to vomit - and the definition of freedom is that it will not affect the freedom of other people!" ”
"The multiverse is very vast, Su Day, your thinking is only based on human civilization, or is it only on the planet, and there is no thinking mode of human civilization that has moved towards a wider world, you actually know it yourself, your own good and evil are just your own good and evil."
Yara calmly patted Su Sun's neck with her tail that had been regenerated: "The same is true of the definition of freedom and evil - if you continue to walk, you will eventually encounter situations that can challenge your current thoughts...... Unless you're strong, very powerful, powerful enough to nail your good and evil into the iron rules of this multiverse. ”
"In that case, even if you emasculate all intelligent life as evil, even if you use power to enforce your own righteousness, then you are the highest and most good supreme god."
Saying this, the snake spirit smiled, and then burrowed back into the groove of Su Sun's scales, and did not reply again.
"Indeed."
And Su Sun couldn't help but sigh.
The transcendent world has infinite possibilities, but there is only one standard......
"Powerful."
If it is not strong enough, then all wills, all **, whether good or evil, will not have a chance to be executed.
After such a battle, Su Yan has never understood the importance of strength more clearly than now.
"Hopefully, the God of the Wind hasn't started slaughtering yet." He raised his head, looked at the sky, and whispered to himself helplessly: "In this way, I can also communicate with him and see how I can join forces and put this world on the right track." ”
However, when Su Sun returned to Nether City, he found that his true body could not return to his human form for the time being, and he could only continue to maintain the form of a white-scaled wingless dragon.
After all, most of his true flesh and blood were made up of the flesh and blood of the God of Water, not his own cultivation. In this way, this huge body cannot be stored in the spiritual space according to the True Body cultivation method, and then transformed when needed.
In other words, the current Su Sun needs to completely sharpen his true body and flesh little by little and transform it into his own strength before he can return to his human form.
This is not a big problem for Su Sun, it is nothing more than spending ten or twenty days to slowly sharpen it, but for the people of Nether City, it is a bit terrifying, after all, such a powerful alien demonic beast can scare people out of heart disease even if it is scared - although Su Sun quickly gained the trust of everyone with his own strength, let everyone understand that this wingless dragon is Su Sun, but he can't live in the house now, he can only stay in the square.
"Is that the changing form of Lord Su Day?"
"This real body is a bit weird, it feels a bit like a dragon, but it doesn't have wings......"
"But it's powerful!"
A lot of whispers sounded, and the fear in the words gradually disappeared, and an appreciation appeared: "So handsome!" This scale, this dorsal ridge, this tail fin, this big tail...... It's really handsome! ”
I could hear it, and Yara in the scales snorted - it thought that Su Yan's inexplicable good popularity would be invalid after becoming an alien real person, but I didn't expect that even if it was transformed, it would still have the same effect.
As for the fear of ordinary people...... What is there to fear? It's not that there are no druids in this world who can transform, although most of them can only turn into bears, wolves and wolves, but they can turn into beasts, and Su Sun's change is nothing more than more powerful than the druids.
After all, it is a magical world with extraordinary powers, and if you compare it with the logic and attempts of the general world, there will definitely be errors, and the ordinary people in this world are not surprised by this form change.
And Su Sun's actions to protect the city, repel the god of water, and make the heavy rain recede are also seen by everyone, and they almost worship Su Sun as a god now-Su Sun is back, but the huge giant whale monster is not, although Su Sun didn't say much about it, but anyone knows what the result is.
The believers of the water god in the distance have basically retreated now, and the danger of destroying the city of Nethers has been resolved, which is a life-saving grace for millions of people in the city.
What's more, now, Su Sun has broken through the leadership level, and he is a near-god powerhouse that has never appeared in a thousand years - no one dares to question such a strong man, what his true body is like, what he looks like is handsome, after all, aesthetics has always been what a strong person looks like, what it is, not that a strong person changes according to other people's aesthetics.
But in addition to all this exciting thing, there is also some bad news.
"Elias is dying?"
After returning to the city, Su Sun immediately learned such unpleasant news from the guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion, he frowned, and the huge dragon head looked a little hideous: "Isn't the holy water I left behind useless?" ”
After staying in the world of Tartadis for so long, Elias is the most familiar human being, this gray-eyed young man is young, but he is quite organized, giving Su Sun the feeling that he is like Shao Qiming when he was young, whether it is in the office or dealing with people in his usual life, he gives people a feeling of spring breeze, and he really has a heart that is willing to pay for the territory.
According to the words of the guards, they originally thought that even the Grand Duke needed to be cultivated, but Elias seemed to think that he was a natural leader, a natural Grand Duke.
Now, Elias has been battered by reversing the Elemental Circle. And tracing back to the root, this is also the reason why the God of Water will be defeated by Su Sun, if it is not for that blow to knock down the God of Water, Su Sun will never be able to cause so much damage to the giant whale in the future, and then defeat it.
"Yes, Lord Su Day, the holy water is really effective, otherwise, the Grand Duke would have died a long time ago."
The guard of the Grand Duke's Mansion half-knelt in front of the dragon-turned Su Sun, and he replied in a deep voice. Even though Su Sun said, 'Don't kneel, I can't even see you if you kneel', but because of respect, the guards still insisted on saluting.
And when taking Su Sun to the area where Elias is now treated, the guard continued to explain: "The Grand Duke is now in the elemental disorder in his body, which is an incurable disease, and he can only slowly recuperate in the area where the elements are normal, but now that the Elemental Array has disappeared, the entire Nether City is no longer sheltered, and the transformation of the elements has begun to freeze again, and many of our healing spells have lost their effect, and the same is true for the healing potions...... We really have no choice but to ask you for help. ”
"Don't say it, I'll go check on the situation."
Even Su Sun didn't dare to save Elias by himself, after all, even if it was his blood, in the final analysis, it needed the other party's trust in him to be effective...... How much does Elias really believe in himself? Only Elias himself knows this.
- Has the elemental transformation become stagnant, though?
Sensing slightly, Su Tian found a little strangely that he didn't seem to feel this feeling, and he obviously felt this feeling of stagnation when he first entered the world of Tartadis.
This means that something must have changed in him to reduce the negative effects of elemental stagnation.
"Compared to that time, I have nothing more than two changes, one is the success of the condensation of the true body, and the other is the achievement of the leadership level."
Thinking of this, Su Sun strode close to an alchemy workshop filled with the smell of potions, where Elias was now receiving information from alchemists and potions masters, and Su Sun's huge dragon body trampled on the flooded streets, trampling huge footprints.
"Commander level, it should have nothing to do with this, if it weren't for the Five Spirit Colored Scales, it would be difficult for my celestial and human cycles to absorb normal aura, then it could only be a true body."
Putting this thought aside for the time being, it was impossible for Su Sun to enter a small two-story house that was no taller than his knees, so he could only gently use Lan Jia to remove the roof of the alchemy workshop and look at Elias, who was still unconscious.
Su Yan, whose mother is a doctor, knew at a glance that the situation was wrong, and he didn't need medical knowledge at all to know that Elias's condition was very bad now - his dark blue shoulder-length hair was now snow-white, and the elements in his body were so messy that they couldn't be sorted out at all, and his organs were failing.
The whole person is not so much alive as a breath with holy water, if it weren't for the power of the holy water, this gray-eyed young man would have returned to the world long ago.
"Soak him in my blood and see." Even Su Sun could only give such a solution, he sighed, and ordered those potions and alchemists to find a bath bucket, let them clean it, strip Elias naked, and put it in it, while Su Sun controlled his **, dripping a few drops of blood from the tips of the huge sharp dragon claws.
Now, Su Sun, who is more than 20 meters tall, is enough to infiltrate a person's whole body even if it is a drop of blood, and a few drops of blood are enough to fill the bath bucket and infiltrate Elias's whole body.
Next, it is resigned to fate, if you want to heal with Su Sun's blood, you need to have a sense of admiration and trust for Su Sun, this power of free heart is indeed very in line with Su Sun's style, and it is useless for others to be anxious.
Unexpectedly, Elias's condition improved quickly.
His trust and admiration for Su Sun even exceeded Su Sun's own expectations - he didn't expect that he would be so trusted by the other party.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange, after all, Elias was able to recapture the city of Nether and become the Grand Duke by relying on his strength, and it was Su Sun who helped him protect the family's inheritance and repel the attack of the God of Water.
In his heart, if Su Sun can't meet his admiration and trust, then there can be no one else who can meet this standard.
Time passed, and by the time dawn, Elias was largely out of danger.
"It's too powerful!"
"It's godblood!"
"I don't want to be too rude, even if it's divine blood, it doesn't have this effect!"
"No...... It's impossible, it's impossible, no matter what kind of potion it is, it's absolutely impossible! ”
This is simply a miracle, one or two alchemists and potions masters present gasped, shocked, and shouted horror, they were really very shocked, because no one knew better than them about Elias's situation before, Su Sun was able to revive the little Grand Duke in that state, it was no longer a panacea, it was simply the resurrection of the dead!
And after a battle with the God of Water, the tired Su Day, who was resting against a building at this time, heard the sound from the alchemy workshop, he woke up, and then turned his attention to that side.
As a result, he heard an even more astonished exclamation.
"Look! The Grand Duke's body has grown dragon scales! ”
"yes, what's this scale? This off-white material ......"
"Wait, isn't this the ...... on Lord Su Sun?"
Su Sun had already come to the top of the alchemy workshop.
He looked down at Elias in the bathtub, the little duke was still unconscious, but his complexion was indeed much more ruddy than before, his breathing was smooth, his organs were reactivated, but his hair was still snow-white.
And Elias's body did grow layers of fine dragon scales, and Su Sun could see that it was exactly the style of the scales on his body when he was in human form.
It can be seen that the elements in the other party's body are chaotic, and there is a faint tendency to recover, seeing this scene, Su Ri's eyes suddenly condensed: "Is my dragon scale working?" That's right, my dragon scales can stabilize the attributes of the five elements and the types of elements both inside and outside the body, and it is precisely because of this dragon scale that I can send out a powerful breath mixed with the spiritual power of the three systems, otherwise, when I launch the breath, I would have been burned to death by my own power. ”
"Elias's elemental confusion symptoms were alleviated by my dragon scales, and it was also this dragon scale that isolated the elemental environment in and out of his body, so that the injured ** who lost the protection of the shelter array would not be worsened due to the condensation of the external elements......"
Thinking of this, Su Tian couldn't help but be stunned: "Wait." ”
He thought with some consternation: "My scales can actually block elemental stagnation to a certain extent?!" ”
Elemental stagnation is the cause of the end of the Epoch Weekend. For some reason, the alternation of elements has become slower, and all kinds of auras that cannot be smoothly converted into each other will cause strange delays in various phenomena in the physical world, such as water not boiling no matter what, and the wind not only cannot take away the heat, but will get hotter and hotter...... It is precisely because of this that outside of the Great Array of Protection, all life will gradually die out.
The dragon scales derived from the five spirit color scales can convert the aura attributes of the body to some fixed attributes, and this delay does not matter, anyway, the conversion five seconds later is also a conversion, so that there will be no phenomenon of elemental chaos, resulting in danger to life, and then to a certain extent, reduce the impact of external element stagnation.
However, if it can really slow down the impact of external elemental stagnation on the body, then not to mention that it is easy to survive in the outside world, at least, the person who holds this ability will not die so easily, and he can live a normal life by hiding in an area where the underground elements are a little more stable!
Staring deeply at Elias, whose body was covered with dragon scales and obviously eroded by his own blood, Su Sun's gaze was extremely solemn, and there were countless thoughts flashing in his heart at this moment, but in the end, he sighed deeply: "You actually have this effect?" The scales, which were originally just used for defense and self-detonation, were just right to deal with elemental stagnation. ”
However, he did not have time to continue his feelings.
Because the seven alchemists and potions masters present were prostrating themselves in front of Su Sun, and after witnessing the miracles brought by Su Sun, their tones were extremely fanatical, and they regarded Su Sun as a god-like existence.
"Immortal—immortal—"
They chanted a word that in the world of Tartadis had multiple meanings of 'immortal', 'immortal', 'savior' and 'salvation', and it was usually a name to describe the gods, and they were now saluting Su Sun, praising the title of 'Immortal Dragon'.
“…… Okay. ”
Although it seemed that his expression was a little impatient, and he didn't seem to like this kind of praise very much, there was a joy in Su Sun's heart, a joy that seemed to have finally found a clue to break the game.
"Well, I didn't name you either."
Raising his hand, Su Sun looked at his dragon claws, and above them, the scales that emitted a gray-white light were steadily transforming the attributes of the elements, and the Demon Devouring Lord revealed, for the first time since defeating the God of Water, with a sincere smile.
"Just call you, 'Immortal Dragon Scale'."
