Chapter 314: The Gods and the Dogs
"The Lord of Light, the head of the Seven Gods of Oglas, the Great Lord, the leader of civilization, and the leader of the gods, has existed since time immemorial, with hundreds of gods, some of whom are rumored to have been born to him with vanished old gods, some of whom he combined with the spirit of nature, and some of whom are his children with mortals. β
"In the third year of the Demon Dragon Invasion, Bert, the most valued god of the Lord of Light, known as the Child of Light, wore the Three Evils Crown and became the vanguard officer of the Demon Dragon Legion, piercing his father's chest with a weapon capable of killing gods. β
"The great Lord of Light, the most powerful god in the Western world fell in this year. It was also in this year that a large amount of land fell, and the gods were knocked down from the altar. β
And the descendants of the Lord of Light were also slaughtered by Bert. Ten years later, the Lord of Light was left in the mortal world, and the unrecovered Young Son drew the Sword of Light, summoned the Spirit of Light, severely injured Bert, and rose all the way to revive the shattered and declining Church of Light. But there is no doubt that the entire Western world of Ogres, in the process of fighting against the Demon Dragon Legion, has been defeated and retreated for thousands of miles, which is directly related to the fall of the Lord of Light. β
Lin Xi, who was among the fairy lanterns, thought of a lot at this moment.
In the course of his thoughts, the light of the Lord of Light had shone on the witch.
The intense light is the cruelest and most decisive judgment.
The witch who could almost enter the god rank, in the judgment of the Lord of Light, did not even have a decent resistance, and was directly turned into ashes, along with the soul... Wiped out.
The witch is completely dead.
Her traces seem to have been erased.
Lin Xi felt sorry for the witch's ruined hut.
That's really a room... Very nice house!
Lin Xi almost thought about keeping her and keeping it as a toy.
But in the end, forget it.
He hasn't completely transformed into a Demon Saint Realm Heavenly Demon yet, so it's better not to be too prodigal.
The Lord of Light is the head of the Seven Gods, although in later records, he died a very aggrieved death.
But now... His strength is unquestionable.
It is by no means comparable to parallel goods like the true immortals of the mountains and seas.
It is not a rational move to provoke him rashly.
What's more... It's just a hut, and it's a bit of a thought... He can build one, too, and it's not worth the risk for it.
When the light of God is gone, all the remnants of breath are extinguished.
Lin Xi slowly walked out of the fairy lantern.
"I didn't even say a few words about the trial that went through the motions, and I didn't say anything about the scene. It seems... The Seven Gods have long lost patience with the transcendents who try to challenge the authority of the gods, and have adopted the policy of destroying them once they are discovered. β
"It's just... Those who are in the Church of the Seven Gods and are also qualified to ascend to the top of the gods, are they protected or destroyed?" Lin Xi was a little puzzled.
This doubt was passed on to him by the true immortal of the mountains and seas.
In the memory of the true immortals of the mountains and seas, there have always been rumors in later generations.
Legend has it that the Seven Gods are only superficial gods, who hold both authority and faith.
And under the seven gods, there are still a number of unknown god-level existences.
It is precisely because of the existence of this group of people that in the era when the seven gods fell or were defeated to the mortal world one after another, and were forced to turn into human heroes and were reincarnated and unable to support the world, it was they who supported the backbone of the world and exchanged their lives for time, so that the Demon Dragon Legion did not directly bulldoze the entire world, so that the heroes of the new generation had enough time to go from weak to strong.
But this 'rumor' has never been confirmed.
Maybe it's really that they never existed, just speculation.
Perhaps there is a powerful force that is erasing the traces of their existence.
Specifically, the true immortals of the mountains and seas do not know.
After all, in his previous life, he was just a very ordinary Demon Immortal cultivator, and he would have some understanding of the major events that shocked the whole world and affected the course of some history.
But for some very detailed and secret inside information, he is not qualified to obtain and know.

A wild dog flew towards the ruins where the hut was originally located.
Before he got closer, big tears poured out of his eyes.
Lin Xi stepped forward and grabbed the wild dog.
He looked at it with a strange expression.
Outwardly, it's a real dog.
But it has the soul and heart of a human being.
It is a dog that has been modified by a witch.
Perhaps... The reason why it cried bitterly was not because of its deep relationship with the witch, but because the witch died, it lost the opportunity to return to human.
I saw myself being grabbed by an Oriental.
The wild dog didn't think about it, turned around and bit Lin Xi's arm.
Creak!
The wild dog's teeth were broken several times, and his mouth was bleeding.
Lin Xi threw the wild dog on the ground and immobilized him with a immobilization charm.
Then he lit a spell and stabbed the wild dog in a streamer of light.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! What a stiff arm! Oh! The Lord of Light is above, why do you do this to me... This rude barbarian, noble Bowen had his teeth broken. β
"Wait, I'm talking?"
"Am I talking to people?"
"I can speak human words?" the wild dog was excited and wanted to spin, but it was a pity... He still couldn't move, and the fact that his mouth was still bleeding was quickly left behind by him.
"Yes! You can talk!"
"Your name is Bowen, aren't you?"
"I want to ask you a few questions. Lin Xi said.
The wild dog's eyes purred, and the tears that originally soared out were all retracted at this moment, and he looked at Lin Xi with a licking dog touch, and said flatteringly: "Okay lord, I am willing to answer any questions you have." β
"I can even explain to you, if you wish, that I ate a few little hidden cookies this morning, and that when I was six years old, I stole my mother's lover's sock and threw it on my father's bookcase. β
The black line on Lin Xi's head almost kicked the wild dog to death.
Who is particularly interested in knowing this?
"Who are you?"
"Why did the witch turn you into this?"
"And... Why are you free to move?" Lin Xi was actually not particularly interested in these three questions.
It's just that this dog is a little strange.
Maybe if it can live for 300 years... You might become a companion to some of the heroes in the future.
Although... In the memory of the true immortal of the mountains and seas, there are no clues related to this dog.
But there are some things that who's good to say?
History, after all, is only history, not the truth.
There are many beings who may not necessarily become history, but they can certainly become the truth.
"My lord, Bowen, call me Bowen, this is the name my grandfather gave me, and I inherited his name... This means noble and educated. β
"Originally, my grandfather should have left me a piece of land and a title of nobility. But that damn woman, she stole everything. β
"I'm sorry! I'm talking about the damn woman, not a witch... She turned me into a dog, but I didn't hate her that much, after all... She was so beautiful, and sometimes she would take me in her arms and bathe me. I've also seen her take a shower... After all, who cares about a dog?" Bowen seemed a little smug when he said this.
It's just... He also seriously digressed.
Obviously, he didn't know what the point was.
Maybe it's because it's been so long since you've spoken human?
"Shut up! I don't want to hear your gossip and your deformed love for witches. I don't want to hear any of that, I want to hear something that interests me. If you still can't get to the point, then I promise... You'll definitely show up on my barbecue. Lin Xi was very kind and admonished the wild dog Bowen.
Bowen immediately returned to the topic: "I am a historian!"
"My teacher was the great scholar and sage Charles Allen. He found some real history, some truth that was covered up, so he was persecuted. And I... His successor is also on the hunt list of the Church of the Seven. β
"So I begged the witch and turned me into a dog... After all, they are capturing Bowen, Bowen Ainos, and no one will doubt that a dog is Bowen Ainos, right?"
"However, I just let the witch transform me for a year or two to avoid the limelight. But she seems to have forgotten about it, I've been a dog for almost twenty years, although I haven't grown old and I'm not dead... It was a pleasant surprise to me, and I used to worry about that all the time. But... You must know that I, who was originally a human, as a dog... It's not that pleasant. β
"Oh my God, you know? The wild dogs always like to stare at my ass, and I know they have bad intentions, and I have to hide from them, after all, the only ones who are more disgusting than the nobles are those wild dogs. β
"They will always do things that even the most depraved nobles do not bother to do. β
As he spoke, Wild Dog Bowen began to talk again.
"Okay! I've got the general idea. β
"Now, I want to know, what is the historical truth in your mouth. β
"Remember... I don't want to listen to. Please give what I want to know within twenty words. Otherwise... I'll bake you straight away. Lin Xi said and stretched out his finger to the trees on the side.
The innocent tree ignited in an instant.
Wild Dog Bowen shuddered, seemed to swallow his saliva, and then said succinctly: "The Seven Gods are not orthodox, they are subversives, not rulers all the time. β
This answer did not surprise Lin Xi.
Isn't it normal for God to replace God, just as a dynasty replaces a dynasty?
The world is magnificent and powerful.
If it happens and develops naturally, how can there be only seven gods in the Western world?
The Seven Gods ascended to the throne through 'betrayal' or 'revolution', which was completely expected by Lin Xi.
