Lansendre was still immersed in grief. Looking back on the past, he was angry, unwilling, and a little regretful.
What he regretted was not taking the risk of completely offending Io and impacting the realm of gods.
As the Lord of the Dawn, the god of revival and vitality, positive concepts such as birth, creativity, movement, self-improvement, etc. are all related to him and are his priesthood.
The priesthood often represents the nature of a god.
Therefore, despite being one of Faerûn's oldest gods, Lathandel is still passionate, energetic, and optimistic.
His mentality is always young, always ambitious, and always pursuing improvement.
He knows how dangerous it is to attack the realm of gods. There is only one supreme seat. Doing so will undoubtedly become a thorn in His Majesty Io's side and a thorn in his flesh.
But when the opportunity came, he chose to take the risk without hesitation.
But now, he regrets a little, not that he has impacted the realm of gods, but that he did not arrange a retreat, and ended up hurting his daughter.
Penny, the goddess of the sunset, is his daughter with Chantia, the god of earth.
(Chantia: Mother Earth, goddess of agriculture, in charge of agriculture, planting, gardening and other clergy and fields. She is one of the oldest gods in Faerun, with a godhead level of 19.)
Combining the divinity of two ancient powerful gods, Sunset Goddess Penny's qualifications are absolutely top-notch and she has unlimited growth potential.
It's a pity that she hasn't really grown up and created her own glorious chapter, so she fell like a meteor across the sky.
The Lord of the Dawn is obviously brooding over the death of his daughter and feels remorseful.
On the eve of the end of the war, he knew that the odds of victory were slim, but he did not back down. He put on his armor, picked up the "Teller of Dawn" (mace weapon), and went to fight against the god AO.
This is not only to challenge the highest mountain, but also to buy time for his daughter to escape.
But he never imagined that when the war actually started, the scale of the war would become so large. In the end, the war spread to the entire country's Tianyu Crystal Wall System, and many gods actively or passively participated in the war.
There are even strong men from other worlds crossing over.
Even a powerful goddess like Chantia, the God of Earth, was ultimately too overwhelmed to take care of her daughter.
Because the goddess of the setting sun wanted to help her father protect the secret treasure, she was hunted down by many strong men. Finally, she had no choice but to fall into the abyss.
The Ending War was a veritable end to the old era. The war shattered the earth, the main material plane was shattered, the gods fell like rain, Io was seriously injured and fell asleep, the sunset goddess disappeared, the secret treasure was damaged and lost, and the strong man from another world was injured.
She was also expelled from the Toril universe at the cost of self-exploding the magic network by the third generation magic network goddess...
There was almost no winner in this battle, and the entire country's Tianyu Crystal Wall System was almost destroyed.
Why Guoguo Tianyu recovered again, Lansander doesn't know. He died a little early, and some things were only learned in recent years...
A quarter of an hour later, Lansendre raised his head. He was holding a helmet and a spear fragment in his hand. There was no emotion on his young and handsome face, as if the tears of God that had just fallen were all an illusion.
He stepped out of the sea of fire in a few steps and walked a hundred meters in front of Ren and Artoria. His eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The scene was silent and the atmosphere was slightly depressing.
Ren didn't dare to be careless. He held the knife in front of his sister. Looking at the expressionless Lord of the Dawn, he felt the need to explain something and said:
"The incarnation of the Goddess of the Sunset is irrational, mistaking me for AO, and attacks us as soon as it appears."
He is not afraid of offending the Lord of the Dawn because of this. If he wants to offend, he has already offended him before.
But he didn't want to take the blame for AO for no reason.
Lansander's eyes glowed with golden light, he stared at him for a while, with a subtle expression, and said:
"I know that you and he have similar qualities, but they are just similar. You are much weaker than him."
The trace of his daughter's remnants could not discern this difference, but he would not confuse AO with the Master of Arms. Although the nature of their divine power looked similar at first glance, they were essentially different.
He also knew that the soldier master was unlikely to be the incarnation of the god above the god, the chosen one, or the human avatar reincarnated as a soul.
Lansander's eyes were deep and he said calmly:
"More than a hundred years ago, His Majesty did take action. I don't know what means he used to release a wisp of soul into the Saigon continent, and he also chose the woman with the blood of the royal family of elves as the mother body. I want to
To hide the truth from the sky.
Unfortunately, someone leaked the secret and made a prophecy that three kings would be born in Faloran.
The daughter of the night was born together, causing a lot of commotion, and with some arrangements, his plan ultimately failed and was stillborn."
At the end of the sentence, a sneer appeared on his face, with sarcasm and pleasure in his tone.
Renn raised his eyebrows, stared at the Lord of Dawn, and said:
"You took action too, right?"
The death of the Star Child a hundred years ago was shrouded in mystery. Many parties involved could not explain the situation clearly, and it involved many big bosses' games.
"I just added fuel to the fire. Even without me, His arrangement would not have succeeded."
Lansander did not deny that he also plotted against the Star Child. His eyes flickered and he added in a slow tone, "When it comes to His Majesty, everyone actually has a tacit understanding. No one wants to see Him recover.
Even further.
For that matter, we are all friends, and anyone can snatch the ripe fruit, but not Him.”
Ren frowned slightly.
He was a little confused when he heard this, feeling that it involved many secrets and high-level struggles, but he didn't know the inside story very well.
A bit unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Lord of the Dawn...
Lansander seemed to know that he was a rookie. He only mentioned it once and then ignored the topic, focusing on Arturia.
He stared at her with bright sun-like eyes, and then glanced at the turbulent pale golden sea of faith on the west side of the temple. He didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes suddenly became cold, with a hint of murderous intent flashing through his eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the hole above the Kingdom of God, lightning flashed and the atmosphere was filled with destruction.
Artoria felt a chill in her body and immediately tightened her grip on the Holy Spear.
Ren also turned the magic knife, pointing the blade forward, and the sharp blade glowed with a faint cold light.
"take it easy."
Lansendre suddenly restrained his murderous intent and looked at the wary siblings with a calm expression, "I just remembered some unpleasant things and have no intention of taking action against you.
Maybe we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future.”
"cooperate?"
Arturia frowned and said coldly, "You devoured the divinity of human legends and demigods, sucked their vitality, and buried many heroes in the years. Now you are actually talking about cooperation?"
"snort."
Lansander seemed very unhappy when he heard this. He snorted coldly and said with a frosty face, "Ignorant little girl, what do you know? You have no idea what happened back then!
I am not the one who is dishonest and ungrateful.
You actually have the nerve to accuse me?
Hahahaha... It's so ridiculous. If you two had experienced what I have experienced, you might be even more extreme than me, and you would have wanted to bloodbath Saigon!"
Arturia frowned, intending to refute.
But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she really didn't know what the Lord of the Dawn had experienced and what happened that year.
On the Saigon continent, only strong humans will be "sucked" by the will of the world in their vitality, while demons and alien beast races will not be affected.
No, elves seem to be targeted by the will of the world just like humans.
Otherwise, it would be easy for someone like Lucy with elf blood to live for a thousand years.
But why is this?
Arturia wanted to ask why, but Lansander didn't want to mention what happened back then at all, so he raised his hand to stop her and said:
"I don't want to say anything more. If you have any doubts, ask people from the Feuerbach family and the Natural School. The Pope may also know. You can find out for yourself.
Now let’s talk about cooperation or transactions.”
Artoria could only suppress her doubts.
Ren's eyes flashed and he patted his sister on the shoulder to signal her not to get excited.
He looked at the Lord of Dawn and said:
"Cooperation or trade? Tell me how to cooperate. Is there a basis for cooperation between us?"
"Of course."
Lansander looked at the siblings/couple with deep eyes and said meaningfully, "Soldier, that's what I'll call you.
Although you are not following the path of divine fire, the essence of your current power is indeed very similar to that of His Majesty.
After this planet returns to the Tianyu Crystal Wall System of the country, you will definitely receive the attention of His Majesty.
How will He treat you?
Cultivation? Devour? Refining into a special clone?
I will not discredit His Majesty, but he will never watch you approach his supreme throne step by step.
One of the kings of gods, the supreme god of the kingdom and heaven, is enough!
And your wife, is she planning to become the goddess of light now?
I don’t know if you know what the birth of the Goddess of Light actually means, but I can tell you responsibly that when this planet returns, if His Majesty’s body has awakened, He will be the first to kill the Goddess of Light.
!
The priority is even higher than mine!"
Ren's face was a little gloomy, and his intuition told him that the Lord of the Dawn was not just talking nonsense.
Even if his analysis is not 100% correct, it is probably not much different, especially the part about the goddess of light, which is by no means alarmist.
Renn had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face remained calm as he said:
"You are also a thorn in His Majesty's side, right? So, the enemy of your enemy is your friend?"
"Whatever you think, it's not a bad thing for me to have you alive anyway."
Lansendre said calmly.
The existence of the War Lord and the Goddess of Light will naturally attract the attention of the god AO. They can share his pressure while they are alive. He even hopes that the siblings will be as strong as possible, so that he will be safe.
Although he has challenged Io's status, now, with the passage of time, he is no longer Io's primary target.
Of course, the hatred has been forged, but the hatred is still deep.
If given the chance, he would definitely take revenge, and Ao Ou would definitely not mind getting rid of him.
"Then how do you cooperate?"
Ren thought about it carefully and felt that it would be unreasonable to fight with the Lord of the Dawn.
This planet was transformed from the opponent's head. He also served as the will of the world. After reincarnation, he still has some authority as the Lord of the World.
And there is no blood feud between him and the Lord of the Dawn.
The will of the world swallowed up the vitality of legendary strong men and demigods, but it did not cause any trouble to him and his sister. The unlucky ones were the former strong human beings.
The only conflict was that when he broke through to the sixth level, he was bombarded by law thunder.
But he had been prepared, and he was destined to be in danger.
Ren's mind was spinning quickly, he pondered for a moment, and said:
"Cooperation is not just words, what's more, our previous relationship was not good.
If you want to cooperate, I need to see your sincerity first!"
"no problem."
Lansander waved his hand, and the legal thunder above his head dispersed, and the hole in the sky above the Kingdom of God disappeared. He pointed at Artoria and solemnly said, "When she becomes a god, I can help cover her and reduce the pressure from the outside world.
interference."
Hearing this, both Ren and Artoria were a little moved.
This is indeed more sincere.
The power of faith accumulated by the church is too huge. Once the goddess of light is born, she will be promoted to powerful divine power in a very short period of time.
Such a force is enough to influence the pattern of the continent.
Moreover, listening to what the Lord of Dawn said just now, the existence of the goddess of light has some special significance. It is not as simple as the appearance of another powerful god on the Saigon continent.
"what do you want?"
Ren was a little moved and asked.
After the advent of the crystal wall law, the will of the world can no longer swallow the divinity and vitality of strong human beings.
The human camp currently has no fundamental conflict with the Lord of the Morning. If there are benefits, we can try to cooperate.
Lansander glanced at the helmet and spear fragments in his hand, his eyes were a little sad, he was silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice:
"If you find my daughter's body, remnant soul or godhead, you must give it to me immediately. In addition, regarding your Majesty's affairs, we-"
He didn't say anything further. There was no need to emphasize this too much. It was tacitly understood.
Ren understood and felt that there was nothing wrong with this way of cooperation. He and his sister even took advantage of it, so he smiled and said:
“A pleasure to work with!”
“A pleasure to work with.”
Lansander took a deep look at the man and woman, his body emitted a dazzling golden light, turned into a sun disk and rushed high into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
He left without breaking through the space barrier of the Kingdom of God this time. After all, it was his daughter's Kingdom of God. He knew very well that after re-determining the spatial coordinates here for the first time, he could enter and exit freely.
Ren looked at the disappearing sun wheel, withdrew his gaze and said:
"The location here has been exposed."
At least the Lord of the Dawn can come and go freely now.
"There shouldn't be any problems for the time being."
Artoria looked a little confused and said, "It's just that when did the Lord of the Morning lock the coordinates of the secret realm of the Kingdom of Heaven? Has he discovered it a long time ago, or did the movement caused by the Sunset Goddess just now make him discover this place?"
This question is destined to have no answer.
Renn didn't think much about it, it had already happened, and there was not much point in asking for the reason.
He touched his chin, thought for a while, and said:
"Although we have reached some cooperation, we can't trust Lansendre too much. We need to take some precautions. This secret realm is a bit unsafe."
He had some plans in mind, but he needed to think more about it.
Anyway, he will stay with his sister during this period, so there will be no problems for the time being.
"Let's go back."
After this happened, Ren lost the mood to continue visiting the temple. He picked up his sister and flew back to the square on the west side of the temple.
The condensed sea of faith is still accumulated here, and the pale golden waves are surging and rising, shaking the void of the atmosphere.
As soon as the two of them approached this almost material sea of turbulent light, the sea automatically split into two, welcoming them as if they were their hosts.
This is not due to Renn. He could only use a knife to divide the sea to ensure that he would not be affected.
But Artoria has been able to control this place to a certain extent.
With a thought, she activated the godhead in her body, and her pupils turned into golden yellow. The noble golden eyes reflected the outline of the sea of faith. Her eyes became extremely deep, and she faintly revealed the power to dominate the world and control everything.
Coercion.
All aspects of life, love, hate, and all kinds of phenomena... all floated and shimmered in her eyes.
This is the vision of God.
She continued to try to establish contact with the Sea of Faith, further control the power of faith accumulated here, transform and optimize the godhead.
But this time, Ren was by her side, guarding her silently.
He hugged her waist from behind and stroked her flat belly with his hands. They sat on the steps together with his face pressed against her white cheek, rubbing together gently and occasionally kissing her red lips.
Arturia enjoyed this feeling very much, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her mouth was always filled with a smile.
"Ren, how much do you know about the Lord of the Morning? What kind of god is he?"
She asked a little curiously.
After getting in touch with him today, she discovered that the Lord of Dawn was different from what she had imagined before.
Some things seem to have hidden meanings.
Ren recalled it and said slowly:
"Lansendre's previous reputation and image were quite good. His compassion for mortal life ranked among the top among the gods. He can be regarded as one of the most influential gods in Faerûn.
His ministry includes movement, birth, dawn, creativity and vitality.
By analogy, he is very similar to Apollo in Greek mythology.
His church encourages believers to improve themselves and face life positively. The sun will always rise again with the dawn, bringing hope, so his church is also committed to reconstruction, assistance and revival."
"Sounds like... good?"
Artoria was a little surprised.
Maybe the fact that the will of the world can swallow up the vitality of strong human beings left a bad impression on her. She always felt that the Lord of the Dawn was a sanctimonious hypocrite and a sinister villain.
"Sounds good."
Renn also does not deny that the Lord of the Dawn of the "neutral good" camp has a good reputation in the continent of Faerûn, and his priesthood and teachings are also very positive.
Ransondel's character is that of a sunny, warm-blooded boy, and his nature is indeed not bad.
but……
"It is true that he is a good god, and his priesthood and teachings are also very positive." Ren said, suddenly changing the subject, "But this does not mean that he will not do bad things!"
"Um?"
Artoria blinked and asked curiously, "What bad things can such a god do?"
"hehe."
Ren knows a lot about the dark history of the Lord of the Morning.
It is the setting of a sunny and hot-blooded boy. Lansander also likes to fight against evil and help believers, and he can do things for real, such as beating Sammaster to death.
But because he was too impulsive, he made one of the most mistakes among the gods in Faerûn.
The cool operations of Lord of the Dawn are as follows:
Pursuing Tyche, the goddess of fate, led to her death and split into Tymora and Benshaba.
He chased the first swan girl, causing her to flee into the sky and turn into the constellation Cygnus.
The bones of his old love were still cold, and he began to pursue Shantiya (the goddess of the earth).
The attempt to reunite Tymora and Benshaba into Tyche almost resulted in the death of the two goddesses and the resurrection of the evil god Bane.
He hammered Sammaster, the founder of the Dragon Worship Cult to death, and was injured (four drops of blood was shed).
In an attempt to establish a pantheon with himself as the main god, he triggered the Disaster of Dawn, which led to the destruction of two empires and a pantheon, and also led to the death of the lover of Heim, the original guardian god.
Impersonating the ancient sun god Amaunata, it ended up being self-defeating and almost led to his own assimilation.
…
The Lord of the Morning often does bad things with good intentions, and sometimes the things he does have a greater negative impact than the evil god's whole life.
This is where the idea of "Lathander, the Great Evil God" comes from.
Arturia was a little dumbfounded as she listened to her brother telling about Lansander's dark history, and said:
"So is he a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Theoretically speaking, he is a good person."
Ren wanted to say that Lansendre's nature was not bad, after all, that was the setting.
Thinking of the other party's tricks, he felt a little lack of confidence and complained:
"However, his ability to mess things up, or his ability to mess things up, is really great, and even some real evil gods can't match it."
"..."
Artoria was a little speechless.
Sunshine Hot-Blooded Big Boy or Great Evil God Lathander?
The contrast is too great.
Thinking that the "End War" was also caused by the Lord of the Morning, after the first battle, the crystal wall system was almost destroyed, Artoria was really speechless.
