This is a very strange thing. Although the mage can explore infinite knowledge and can theoretically be comparable to gods, he has natural shackles and it is difficult to break through the fifth level.

Su Changxing was really surprised that Earl Mel could reach this point. It was like seeing a goldfish jumping out of a closed fish tank.

The world imposes limitations upon which creatures cannot escape.

At night.

Count Mel was sitting alone in the study, holding a quill in one hand and tapping the paper lightly, making a rustling sound.

"Dear Brother Taco:

I had crossed the uncrossable line and may have embarked on a path to godhood. Some mysteries are difficult to understand without reaching this point. This is a taboo. Our world may be more embarrassing than we imagine. To be precise, it is more like a prison..."

After reaching the fourth level, Count Mel noticed the subtleties of this world. It was shrouded in starlight and there was a huge figure above. They were like countless ants in a cage.

"Although I don't want to be too malicious towards the gods, I still suspect that those demons were brought in by the gods. The specific reason is for faith. He wanted to absorb faith from this world, so he let the demons in."

"What is the difference between gods and demons? From this point of view, I can't see. The teacher has always taught us that as a mage, we must have a rational mind. I know that the gods have helped us a lot, helping us to resist the demons and eliminate the need for The catastrophe of civilization’s downfall.”

"I also hope you can have a longer-term perspective. Our civilization should not succumb to this."

"I will find a way to verify this path. If it fails, it will fail. You and I have always been on different paths. This is also taking two paths at the same time, with more choices."

"There are only two things in the world that can deeply shock our hearts. One is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the sublime freedom in our hearts. Being attached to gods can certainly keep us safe and civilization can continue. At the same time, we We will also lose more precious things, such as freedom and the spirit of exploration.”

"Take care, senior brother, I'm ready to go, may the light of magic shine high!"

After he finished writing, he put the letter paper into the envelope, snapped his fingers, and an illusory blue bird appeared on his shoulder, flew out of the window with the envelope in its mouth, and disappeared into the night sky into an illusory light.

Count Mel walked out of the room and walked towards the largest church in the city. There were patrolling soldiers going back and forth along the way. A large number of believers could be seen in the blocks near the church.

Even at night, there are still groups of believers going to the church to pray twenty-four hours a day. The bells ring every four hours and can be heard throughout the city, as if the eyes of the gods have been falling on this church. An important border town, Cailai.

Since the war has just ended, the atmosphere in the city is still relatively serious. Our dedicated saint, Linda, is still organizing work in the church, working hard without complaint. Like most workers, she has long been accustomed to being squeezed without much reward.

And because she hasn't had direct contact with Su Changxing for a long time, she only needs to do her job well most of the time.

But recently, a boss came to her, and Linda sensed his presence. He seemed to be wandering among various churches, and he would pay attention to her from time to time.

Such a change immediately stimulated her. She worked as hard as a chicken blood. She came cheaply as a saint, but she never wanted to be replaced. The closer she got to the gods, the more she could feel the gods. of greatness.

The so-called mage is just a poor imitation of the gods, and the imitation is very different. She is fully aware of this.

Now she possesses divine power, and uses her divine power to cast magic, which is about the same level as the Great Mage, and she has stronger lethality against demons.

In this war, he alone killed countless demons. As a saint of the Sect of All Living Beings, he had reached a certain level as the God King in the empire and was known to almost everyone.

At this time.

The saint stopped what she was doing and looked at the door of the church with emotion. She was surprised to find Count Mel standing there. You must know that Count Mel had never been near the church and was also a staunch non-believer among the mages.

The Saint felt something was wrong. It might not be a good thing for a legendary mage like Count Mel to suddenly come here.

She stepped forward, showed her signature smile, and asked calmly: "Excuse me, is there something wrong with Count Mel?"

Count Mel looked a little surprised when he saw the saint, and said: "I didn't expect the saint to be still in the church so late. She is really trying her best. I have long heard that the saint is the most loyal believer in the empire."

Being praised like this didn't make her feel happy at all. Instead, she felt awkward, like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.

The saint's face remained unchanged, her mental activities were extremely complicated, and she still smiled and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, Count. These are all things I should do. What can I do for you, Count? If you want to join our All Living Beings Cult, I can organize the initiation ceremony for you right now."

Earl Mel nodded, and then said: "There is no need for the initiation ceremony. I just want to say a few words to the gods. See if you can help contact me."

The saint's face changed, and she secretly thought that the person who came was evil. She subconsciously took two steps back, and she felt uncertain in her heart. This was the first time such a thing had happened since the relay of the All Living Beings Religion. Most people would not dare to make trouble, so they were a little panicked. If there was a fight, she would be no match for the legendary mage in front of her.

"Is there something wrong with Count Mel? I can convey it to you. You know, it is very difficult for even the most loyal believers to directly contact the gods." The saint said while observing Count Mel's expression.

Count Mel was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "As a mage, are you really willing to become a slave of the gods?"

Saint Linda opened her big Kazilan eyes, clear and translucent, shining with intelligence, and said without any burden: "Of course I am willing, it is my honor."

"Count Mel, I know it may be difficult to understand from your position, but the greatness of gods is beyond your imagination."

Count Mel looked handsome and asked: "Then can you tell me why the gods are great? On what basis? And for what reason?"

The saint's face remained unchanged, her big Kazilan eyes still twinkled, and she said, "Isn't it enough to help the empire stop the demons? Without the Lord God, everything will cease to exist."

"We have been saved by this, Count Mel. Even if you don't believe in it, you should still have a grateful heart."

As he spoke, many believers around him looked in this direction, apparently hearing the conversation between the two, which was too sensitive in this church.

Count Mel said calmly: "I doubt why there are such things as demons in this world."

The saint took a few steps back again, with a dangerous look on her face, "Count Mel, you are playing with fire. Gods cannot be blasphemed!"

"Yeah?"

Count Mel showed a contemptuous smile, waved one hand, and countless light particles appeared around him. The magic power quickly gathered into the church, and the space shook, like a volcanic eruption.

"I came here today to ask for an answer, and to ask the gods to sacrifice themselves!"

His voice spread throughout the church, but it only gathered terrifying magic power, and others did not dare to get close.

The saint's brows raised. At this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and shouted: "All paladins obey orders! Kill this blasphemer!"

As soon as the words fell, knights in silver armor rushed into the church, their whole bodies wrapped in holy light, and killed Count Mel.

They have no hesitation, and it is glorious to sacrifice their lives for the Lord. After death, they can enter the kingdom of God and enjoy eternal life.

The vibration spread, and with the astonishing explosion, the fire flickered in the night sky, but this magic was bound by some kind of power, only blowing up a corner of the church.

Hundreds of paladins around were beaten to the point of being knocked upside down by Count Mel alone, but not one of them died.

The saint quickly retreated under the statue, shouting in her heart: "Help, help!"

"I am no match for the legendary mage!"

She is very self-aware and understands how strong she is. When she was a mage, she was not a combat mage. She was more focused on research. She was determined not to fight a fight that she couldn't win, unless it was absolutely necessary and had to be fought.

But she wasn't that worried. After all, there was someone above her in the church, so she wasn't afraid at all.

Count Mel did not take action immediately. His target was not Linda in the first place. He looked at the sky and saw a white beam of light falling from the sky.

A bright white figure appeared above the church. Six illusory wings condensed by white light were dancing continuously. White feathers were falling all over the sky. It was the legendary angel!

Even though religion disappeared for a long time, he had heard of the existence of divine creatures like angels, servants of the gods. In ancient times, they often walked on earth and could see their figures in the night sky.

"blasphemer, accept judgment!"

The flower umbrella held up a big sword burning with white flames, and the terrifying power pressed down from the sky.

She was ready to kill the mage in front of her. Blasphemy was a capital crime, so he should be killed.

During this period, she managed the All Living Beings Sect on behalf of Su Changxing, and she did a very good job. According to the regulations and rules given by Su Changxing, she made clear decisions on everything, never crossed the line, and was not conservative.

Just like the embodiment of order, with perfect reason.

Count Mel was also surprised, thinking that he was greeted by a god, but he didn't expect that it was just a divine envoy.

The gods didn't bother to meet him at all, which was in line with the gods' arrogance.

There was a huge flash of light, and he used magic to form a strait between the two of them, blocking the blow.

White flames gradually filled the strait.

Count Mel's strength was also unexpected, and he actually blocked the blow of the flower umbrella head-on.

This proves that he already possesses the power of a demigod, and also proves that the mage has unlimited potential.

He has reached this point in a very short period of time. It is not an exaggeration to call him a demigod now. It is precisely because of this that he has the courage to challenge the gods.

"If the gods want to enslave the world, they don't need to use such extreme means!" Count Mel shouted, hoping that Hua Umbrella would understand what he meant.

Hua Umbrella just looked at him indifferently, without any intention of talking nonsense. Count Mel's actions constituted a capital crime.

next moment.

She broke through the barrier in the sky, and white flames fell from the sky, covering an area of ​​thousands of meters, but did not hurt anyone or any building, only targeting Count Mel.

Count Mel was gone, and there was no one there, leaving only a pair of burned boots.

Hua Umbrella's gaze turned to the distant hilltop, where Count Mel was standing with one hand behind his back, his cheek reflected in the moonlight, and the ravines on his face were clearly visible, looking at her quietly.

"I just need an answer. Lord God Envoy doesn't need to be so angry." Count Mel said, feeling a little unsure in his heart, but so what if he could defeat the God Envoy in front of him. At present, it seems that he is not qualified to challenge the gods at all.

Hua Umbrella didn't talk nonsense to him at all. His figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Mel and struck down with his sword. His fighting style was still so reckless.

Count Mel's body turned into a shadow and fell to the ground. His true body appeared a hundred meters away. A brilliant light appeared in his hands. A forbidden magic that had never appeared before and had only been imagined gradually emerged.

Mages have endless imagination. Even if their own abilities are not up to it, they can still come up with higher-dimensional magic through various experiments and speculations.

This kind of magic is closer to divine magic.

The colorful light formed a huge cube and enveloped both of them.

"Alice's gaze."

An eye in the void looked over.

The flower umbrella was shrouded in a layer of brilliant brilliance, frozen motionless in the air.

A smile appeared on Count Mel's face: "This is forbidden magic. It breaks through the rules and can crush all living things."

Then he stopped laughing. He saw the square formed by the gorgeous light begin to shake, and even the space showed signs of tearing. The divine creature in front of him actually relied on brute force to break free from the shackles of his magic. It’s simply a fantasy!

Bang ~

Count Mel was punched and flew away, gliding in the air. All the joints in his body fell apart and his mind became fuzzy.

This punch made him dizzy, and he fell heavily into the bushes, half dead.

Hua Umbrella stepped forward, grabbed the collar, and lifted Count Mel up from the ground. He was dripping with blood. He did not kill him immediately. Instead, he touched his eyebrows to wake him up.

After Earl Mel came to his senses and understood the current situation, he looked dejected and said, "Kill if you want. Just treat me as crazy."

He probably understood that he couldn't communicate with the angel in front of him at all, and the other party didn't bother to communicate with him. This was contempt from the gods.

At this time.

A calm and smiling voice came into his ears, "Don't you want to contact me directly? If you want to say anything, just say it, otherwise you will not have a chance in the future."

Count Mel suddenly became excited and straightened his back slightly. But at this time, he didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"You enslave us just for your faith?"

Su Changxing was stunned by these words. He felt that this person was slandering him, so he said angrily: "When did I enslave you again? All believers in our All-Sentient Sect join voluntarily."

perhaps.

Su Changxing added these two words in his heart. In the early days, due to orders from the imperial capital, a large number of believers were forced to join.

This method indeed made the early development of the All Living Beings Religion much faster, but it had nothing to do with slavery or anything like that. For ordinary believers, praying was not compulsory.

There are many shallow believers who may only pray once or twice a week.

Count Mel showed determination on his face and said with certainty: "This is spiritual slavery. Only with spiritual freedom can one be considered a complete person."

Su Changxing snorted coldly: "This is what you think. As a legendary mage, you have a strong heart and naturally don't need any support. Ordinary people are different. This will allow them to live better."

"Suffering will accompany most people throughout their lives. Our All Living Beings Sect itself protects them and keeps them away from these sufferings."

"And without my teaching of all living beings, if the demons conquer the empire, there will be no talk of freedom."

"Mortal, you have now fully demonstrated what greed is!"

Earl Mel was stunned: "Didn't you let those demons in? If not, how could those demons dare to approach?"

Su Changxing asked: "Do you think I need to deceive you? If possible, I don't even need to talk to you."

Count Mel fell silent and could not refute this fact. The two were not on the same level now. Su Changxing naturally had no need to deceive him. Otherwise, he would have just killed him. There was no need to go around in such a big circle.

Su Changxing leaned on the chair, holding a skewer of barbecue in his left hand and a glass of wine in his right hand. He took a bite of the barbecue and continued:

"I really don't know why those demons appear in this world, but I have no obligation to help you drive them away. As you said, you are free people, not my people."

"If you have to say it, this can be regarded as a deal. I provide power, and you provide faith."

"You rely on my strength to survive, but you think I am enslaving you. Isn't this a big joke?"

“How can a civilization be free if it cannot survive on its own?”

Count Mel was speechless, with a hint of helplessness on his old face. The actual situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had judged. The god in front of him was more benevolent and more...humane than he imagined?

But according to ancient books, gods do not have any humanity at all, and they even say that they do not have any emotions.

"Lord God, I'm sorry for my recklessness. I just hope you won't vent your anger on the empire." Count Mel finally said, his tone softening.

In Su Changxing's opinion, the old man suddenly reached a situation he had never imagined before. He was overwhelmed by the power and lost his respect for the gods.
