Under the fading sky, the procession of the former guilty was still moving towards the Central Sanctuary, torches and points of light lit up in the thousands of meters long line, forming a sinuous dragon snake, and the divine blessings and priests from the Central Sanctuary no longer had any intention of hindering them, they all stared at this procession with admiration and guilt.

The former guilty do not care, and they will walk themselves to the center of everything in this world, the Central Church.

Then they will ask God to give a truly just and open judgment for all, to give them justice and to get an account for their suffering.

And among them, pirates like Alber are walking towards their own executions step by step...... But for some reason, the red-haired pirate remained silent after listening to Su Sun's words.

He followed the group, staring at his hands with a complicated gaze, and then let out a disdainful sneer that was not known to be directed at himself or the others, but no matter who it was aimed at, Alber did not have the slightest fear of death.

Actually, it's not just Albert.

The conversation between the Lord of Judgment and the Lord of Fire shook everyone who was present.

Whether it was the 'innovation' demanded by the Lord of Judgment, the various social ills he revealed, or the master-apprentice relationship between him and the Lord of Fire, it was so surprising that even Ammon, a determined priest, could not help but look back at his Lord and the Lord of Fire, and muttered to himself.

"Although the Lord has always called the Lord of Fire by his name, in the past, he has never said that he is the teacher of the Lord of Fire!"

"So the relationship between the Lord and the Lord of Fire is like this? What does the other Lord of Judgment have to do with you......

And just as Ammon was muttering some gossip in his heart, Ishal, the black-haired and golden-eyed divine benefactor, suddenly rose in his heart with joy after a brief moment of consternation.

"Actually, the Lord of Judgment is so powerful?!"

As the pinnacle of the Divine Protector, how could Ishal not see that when the Lord of Judgment and the Lord of Fire were hedged at the beginning, it was obvious that his own Lord had stepped back slightly? Obviously, it should be a little frustrating, but when he knew that the Lord was alone, and even planned to sacrifice himself to save the world, the Lord of Judgment, who had been silent, suddenly had the strength he has now.

A good thing, a great thing!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look in the direction where the lords who had just left together and ascended to the sky were going, and Ishal muttered, "At least this way, with such strong reinforcements, the Lord should not think of sacrificing himself......"

At this time.

Genting.

After returning to the sky and getting out of everyone's gaze, the topic of Su Sun and Elias was not as serious as on the ground.

"I didn't expect you to be the same after so many years...... If you had known this, you should have been allowed to accept the Soul of Fire later. ”

Looking at the height and figure of the gray-haired young man at this time, who had not changed for hundreds of years, Su Tian couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "It's okay to be two or three years at night, so there is really no majesty." ”

After the creature merges with the soul of fire, it is the elemental spirit, this creature that is in harmony with the world, after a thousand years, it is about the same as a few days of human beings, and their growth depends entirely on the world itself, and only when the world grows, they can grow.

If it weren't for the special mechanism of the reincarnation world in the past, which had to be reincarnated every thousand years, the elemental spirits could have survived from the Cretaceous period to the modern era.

However, for Su Day's emotion, Elias, who was standing beside the young man, shook his head slowly, his eyes clear and calm.

[I don't mind. With the power of the Fire Soul, I was able to try to become a truly majestic lord, and then ascend to the gods and lead my people to live in this world. 】

[Compared to strength, appearance is meaningless, not to mention that if I want, I can completely disguise an incarnation of a larger age, but there is no need for it. 】

Although he looks like a complete teenager, even with a hint of childishness, Elias's mind has long been mature and stable, like a glacier in the polar region that does not melt for thousands of years, and is completely different from the young child who has been following Su Sun and does not understand anything in the past.

It is precisely because of this that Su Sun can ask some questions without any scruples.

"Although I have pointed out some of your problems with the precepts and other aspects before, Elias, the greatest disaster in this world is indeed the imbalance of the elements - I know that this matter cannot be announced to the public, so I deliberately waited until now to ask."

Saying this, Su Sun turned his head and looked at Elias, his eyes showing curiosity: "In other words, how did those pirates appear?" What was the original rebellion? What is its origin? ”

Su Day's question has always been straightforward.

After hearing this, Elias was silent for a long time, and the young man looked at him, waited patiently, and did not give up.

After a long time, the young man let out a long sigh, he didn't look over, didn't look at Su Sun, and then slowly said: [Actually, these things can be regarded as the same thing. 】

[It can be a bit long to process.] 】

——In the past, more than 300 years ago.

Sixty years after obtaining the Soul of Fire, Elias, who had achieved the overlord rank with the Soul of Fire, joined forces with the God of Wind to enter the void outside the world through the nine-layer labyrinth underground.

There, they all found that the gray fog that had enveloped the entire world began to fade when they reached the Void, and the entire world of Tartadis was in the middle of a large ruin of the world.

The distant world, the dust of the world, needs a god to keep the world running......

Elias spoke briefly about this strength, and then he found that Su Sun seemed to be very familiar with the subject, and even began to ponder halfway through it.

"Gray Mist, is it the Lord of Silence?"

Su Ri knew very well that the gray mist of Tartadis was the incarnation of the Silent Lord, similar to the Tree of the Banyan Immortal Tree in the Great Dao, but it was a higher level - well, a bit similar to the Ancestral Serpent and Yara.

The world of Tartadis was born because of the gray mist, which was the truth that Su Sun knew at the end of the last era, and now it seems that the Lord of Silence has not only created this world, but has even been protecting it.

And this protection lasted until someone could break through the world and leave the Void—and only then did He withdraw from the shelter so that the protected could work on their own.

"I see, it's really the style of the Lonely Lord."

Thinking about it this way, Su Tian is not surprised by this phenomenon at all, presumably, the world that is far away from other worlds and needs a maintainer, its existence itself is a 'reincarnation', and whether it is looking for the existence of other worlds far away, or the existence that is strong enough to maintain this world, it can be regarded as 'breaking the reincarnation'.

Thinking of this, Su Sun nodded to Elias, and he was quite sympathetic: "In this regard, I probably understand - no wonder you are so busy, providing fuel for the flames of the whole world, it is indeed not a distraction." ”

In this way, the young man also found that the current situation in the Holy Fire Continent was probably not something Elias deliberately wanted to do, whether it was the precepts or the dragon of judgment, they were all created by him and the god of wind who wanted to maintain order after he was gone. And what the effect was, because Elias was too busy to spend the energy to fix it.

If he didn't have himself, he probably wouldn't have until the Wind God returned, and Elias would have had time to make corrections.

In this regard, the Lord of Fire shook his head slightly: [The God of Wind is really hard, at that time, he said that I was still a child, and he was used to fighting, so he chose him to explore the distant world. 】

Speaking of this, Elias sighed, his expression carried a hint of regret: [In short, the doppelganger of the God of Wind is still in the Distant Wind Continent, existing as the spiritual network of the Wind People, if you don't mind, teacher, after a while, we can visit him together. 】

"No problem." Su Yan nodded seriously, but he didn't forget his original question: "But, what about pirates? How were they born? ”

And Elias glanced at Su Sun with some complexity, as well as the heavens. At this time, they were at the top of the clouds, in the gray-blue sky at night, and the stars were connected to each other.

After a while, he said slowly: [The birth of a pirate...... From my dereliction of duty and that of the Dragon of Judgment. 】

[The origin of everything...... They are the creatures of jealousy. 】

One hundred and thirty-seven years ago.

With the completion of a series of coastal cities such as Sunset City, the merchant fleet with the Yaofeng Continent has also grown, and the Templar fleet dedicated to exploration has also grown.

In order to find a continent other than the Distant Wind Continent, and to explore the many valuable islands, there are a group of priests, even the Divine Blessings, who have entered the sea and explored the entire world.

The Seven Seas that everyone is familiar with today, except for the other six that are happy overseas, were all discovered and named by them in that era.

And the purpose of this group of people, in addition to finding new continents and islands, the most important purpose is to find the existence that was thrown into the abyss by the three gods at the beginning of the epoch and finally turned into the entire sea, that is, the 'soul of water'.

Hearing this, Su Sun couldn't help but nod slightly—this was exactly his purpose, in the past, he consulted with Elias and the Lord of the Wind to throw the Water Soul into the sea, precisely to arouse human curiosity about the ocean.

Explore, discover, travel far...... All of this is the most important thing for civilization, and the appearance of the exploration fleet confirms the correctness of Su Sun's idea.

[And they really found the location of the soul of water.] 】

Saying this, Elias, the Lord of Fire, did not have any joy in his expression: [Tragedy ensued. 】

After discovering the vast undercurrent layer of the undersea vortex in the Sea of Meditation, the bless in charge of exploring the fleet confirmed that this was where the Water Soul was located, and he went to the depths of the sea, obtained a fragment of the Source Water Soul, and then happily prepared to use it as evidence to report the situation back to the Sanctuary, and the suspicion arose.

"This guy must take all the credit on himself first......

"It's obviously the credit of the entire fleet, and it's as if he's the only one......

"When the time comes, if the Lord bestows grace, or even allows anyone to become a new god, it will definitely be the whole guy."

"New Gods, ......"

It was the other crew members of the Exploration Fleet who said this, and their jealousy and speculation, though not obvious, did take root in the fleet like seeds, and slowly took root.

Although the blessed man felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't really care—because he believed that the Lord was just, and he didn't care if he could become a new god, he just needed to continue to serve the Lord.

Whether the Lord will allow me or not, or if someone else will become a new god, I will serve the Lord, whether it is in the way of the blessed one or from God.

He thought so, and led the team back to the mainland.

[However, the top-secret information that was supposed to be kept secret was leaked out halfway. 】

At this point, Elias's tone became a little heavier, and he was silent for a moment with some sadness, and then sighed: [And at that time, there was still a large part of the divine blessings and priests on the continent who were not interested in exploring the sea. 】

And when most of the people in the Central Sanctuary knew about the existence of the Water Soul, everyone was stunned.

The last remaining elemental soul, the foundation and birth of the new gods—the hearts of many of the gods and priests who knew about this were suddenly jealous, they were originally unwilling to spend effort on this matter at all, but now, whether it was the opportunity to become a new god, or the theory of trade between the Holy Fire Continent and the Yaofeng Continent, it was too eye-catching.

So, rumors swirled.

- The Divine Protector who explored wanted to swallow the soul of water alone and become a god, and he intended to turn his back on God!

- That guy has a ghost in his heart, deliberately splits the water soul, and holds the fragments himself, so that even if others get the water soul, they can't become gods!

- This man does not fear God, but tries to be equal to God! He came back this time only to test God's attitude!

There are many rumors that have no level at all, but are simply false, and they are getting louder and louder, as if they are true.

Moreover, there are really people in this world who would believe these rumors! Even if this rumor is retarded to the level that it is almost like injecting disinfectant to kill the virus in the body, and it is useless to wear a mask during the Great Plague, there will really be people who believe it!

In this regard, the blessed one was a little flustered, but he still stood firm in his faith.

For the Lord is a symbol of righteousness—and He will not wronged Him.

"But...... God is not righteous. ”

Hearing this, Su Sun had roughly guessed the final outcome of this incident, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the top of the firmament, that is, in the spirit world, where the dragon of judgment was located.

He whispered to himself: "The God of Judgment is nothing but an instrument of the tyranny of many, who is neither just nor fair, nor wise nor thoughtful, but only knows how to listen to desires and then respond to them." ”

"That's the embodiment of my wrong past."

The Lord of Fire nodded silently, then let out a long sigh and whispered gloomily: [So, when I realized that something was wrong, when the soul came back from outside the world, what I saw was the thunder punishment from the Lord of Judgment, and what I heard was that sentence]

[He said...... Lord, why have you turned your back on me?! 】

Shock, pain, mixed with endless sadness and despair.

Standing on the judgment seat, the self-confident and innocent Divine Blessed One saw the thunder punishment that rushed to the sky, which was the result of countless rumors, countless jealousies, and countless wishes of denial!

The three of them become tigers, the false is also true, the thousand people point out, and they end up without a problem - this is just a world without transcendental time, if there is transcendence, then the true willpower, and depending on the willpower to punish the gods, you can really destroy the integrity and truth with rumors and falsehoods!

"Lord, you are unjust! I am brand new for you, but you have turned your back on me, and even punished me! ”

Therefore, in the midst of the thunder, the desperate Divine Protector ate the fragments of the soul of the source water, and the endless rain clouds wrapped him against the thunder punishment of the Lord of Judgment and galloped all the way towards the sea, and the rain that fell along the way was his tears, and the continuous terrifying lightning strikes followed all the way, bringing about the fire called renunciation.

The Sanctuary was devastated, and countless dazed and bewildered priests had no idea what was going on or why it had become like this.

And that was the beginning of the rebellion.

Within a year, a large number of priests began to question the covenant and the justice of God, and they continued to flee to the sea, and during this time, the Central Templar revised its history, covered up the truth, and completely erased this group of people and the first Divine Protector.

That was the truth of that rebellion.

[It's me, I'm sorry for them.] 】

Elias, who was walking slowly in the clouds, stopped, and his tone was extremely complicated: "If I had come back earlier, if the judgment of the dragon had been more detailed and clear, if I had been an oracle before, if I could have sensed that jealousy was an innate human instinct that could not be eliminated by the Dharma...... Too many ifs, this thing shouldn't have happened at all. 】

[When Yurla desperately chose to flee to the sea, I couldn't stop him at all, so I could only let him leave......]

"Yes, that's why he can support himself to the beach and wait until the thunder punishment dissipates."

Su Ri understood Elias's feelings at that time...... He was a good man after all, how could he have sensed the harm caused by pirates in the future at that time, and then struck out to kill Yurla, who was obviously his own wrongdoing?

And then the departure of many priests, who no longer believed that God was righteous, and where did Elias have the face to stop them from leaving?

And when Yurla died of Rayfa's injuries in the future, and the pirates completely rioted, becoming a great danger, he was no longer able to go to the sea to exterminate it, and even if he did, it would greatly damage the vitality of the Central Templar.

[I am indeed incompetent. 】

Saying this, Elias did not have any intention of hiding it, he said directly, even if his tone was lost: "This is my duty. 】

And Su Tian couldn't comfort anything.

- The Dragon of Judgment is the dragon of humanity created on the basis of the soul of the earth, the embodiment of the collective subconscious.

However, the collective subconscious of human beings is inherently a rabble.

It is blind and ignorant, and it is very easy to be influenced by others, and rumors can easily spread in it, and the broken leg of the rumor may not be able to beat some unbelievable rumors.

Because of the Fire Lord's intolerance, the first Sea Folk appeared, and then, more and more people and criminals who had suffered injustice came to the sea - they were the prototype of pirates.

In the past, immigrants belonging to the Wind People have also joined, but the Wind People have not been exterminated against these immigrants, so these Wind People just live quietly on the island, and occasionally trade with other Wind People on the main road for some goods unique to the sea.

After listening to the whole process, Su Ri once again firmly believed that 'the punishment process of the dragon of judgment is sick', and he also thoroughly understood the current situation in the world of Tartadis today.

What happened to Yurla the Divine was essentially no different from what happened to Old Chuck.

Because of the imbalance of the elements, the priest Edmund found an opportunity to set up a trap for Chuck Sr. to fall into a trap and was convicted.

Because the world needs Elias to sustain it, the rumors of the crowd have a chance to cause Yurla to be judged by the Lord of Judgment and then found guilty.

The changes in the world have caused an imbalance in order, and because of the imperfection of laws and regulations, the innocent have been found guilty and the good have been wronged.

[And the purpose of the pirates, I guess so.] 】

Although he felt guilty and helpless, Elias knew very well that today's pirates were different from the first pirates in the past, and that these current sea demons were all genuine antisocial personalities, real villains, and he knew very well the purpose of the other party: [Obtaining the Water Soul and becoming a new god is undoubtedly their purpose - Recently, the pirates have been collecting fragments of the Source Water Soul, and they probably want to use this strange thing to make themselves have the physique to adapt to the Water Soul, and this is indeed correct. 】

[In addition, they probably want to use the water soul as a lever to destroy the current elemental cycle - the current world is extremely stable because of the four elemental cycles set by you, teacher, the power of the four elemental souls is essentially the same, if they want to defeat me and the wind god, they must break this balance. 】

[They want to resonate with heaven and earth through the power of the god-becoming ritual, and create a large-scale elemental transformation out of thin air, so that the Deep Sea Age, the so-called Age of Water, will descend, and cause endless floods to flood the continent. 】

When he said this, the Fire Lord's face was serious: [And at that time, the four elements were unified, and the power of the Water Soul was likely to be more than just the first order of the gods, even if it was beyond the gods, it would not be surprising! 】
