Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 667: The Conspiracy of the God of Light

According to the ancient scrolls:

The God of Light believes in "one God, one law, and all beings obey." His realm is order, clarity, and holiness.

The god of the underworld is in charge of death, soul and destination.

In the Age of Great Magic, whether or not a mortal would enter reincarnation after death was often determined by the power of the underworld god.

However, the God of Light believes that this "freedom of the soul" violates His order.

Therefore, He wanted to deprive the God of the Underworld of his authority, bring the souls into the Hall of Light, and let the souls also believe in the God of Light. This is because the souls produced by the stimulated death can generate more power of faith, and the God of Light had long noticed this.

This conflict lasted for seven hundred years and finally ended with the "Holy Spring Disaster".

With the assistance of the Temple of Light and the gods, the God of Light shattered the body of the God of Hades and drove him into the abyss of the void.

When the God of the Underworld fell, his blood and divinity spilled onto the earth, transforming into illusory flowers that covered the mountains.

That is the original form of the Hades Flower.

The Hades Flower is not an ordinary plant.

It is the embodiment of fragments of the god of the underworld.

The petals, condensed from the law of death, can absorb blood and soul residue.

The pistil and the dark blue flame in the center are the "spiritual fire" that remains after the God of the Underworld was shattered.

The fragrance is not emitted by plants, but is the information fluctuation released by the divinity of the underworld to the world. It is not smelled through the nose, but is a fragrance perceived by the soul.

In general, the Hades Flower is a "remnant of a miracle."

Wherever there is a mass death, the fluctuations of blood and soul will call upon these remnants, which will seep out from the ground and condense into flowers.

Therefore, the Hades flower does not "bloom next to the dead", but "the place where there is a lot of death awakens the divinity of Hades."

At the moment of his exile, the God of Hell left behind a curse:

“Wherever innocent blood is shed, my flowers will bloom.

The moment a flower blooms, its fragrance spreads far and wide, reminding all things:

Death is not a vassal of order; death has its own dignity."

The God of Light exhausted all his efforts to expel and kill the God of Hades but gained nothing.

In the Age of Great Magic, gods were not as high and mighty as they are today.

At that time, the source of magic was abundant, and the mortals on the continent could cultivate to extremely high levels and even face the gods.

In order to maintain their own authority, the gods had to come down to the mortal world, feed on faith and use temples as their network.

The God of Light is the ruler of the temple. His order and laws incorporate most gods into the system.

However, there is one god who remains unruly—the god of the underworld.

He controls death and reincarnation. After a mortal dies, whether the soul enters reincarnation and rests in peace depends entirely on the mind of the Hades.

This authority is extremely special and cannot be disciplined by the Holy Order of Light, nor can it be divided by other gods.

In a sense, Hades controls the underworld, which no other gods can interfere with. If too many people die, his divine power will become stronger and stronger.

This made the God of Light unable to sleep or eat.

——An existence that can determine the fate of life and death, but is not in order.

——This means that the God of Light’s “one God, one law, all beings obey” policy ultimately has an unavoidable loophole.

Therefore, the God of Light turned his attention to the methods of mortals:

He did not directly start a war with Hades, but first laid out a chess game, colluding with other gods to weaken Hades' allies one by one.

Chthon is not alone.

During the Great Magic Age, he had made oaths with the God of Dreams, the God of the Moon, the God of Storms, and others.

These gods were all dissatisfied with the order of the God of Light, and therefore supported each other.

If the God of Light wants to take action against the God of Hades, the first step is to break up this relationship.

Oneiroi's realm is "dreams and the subconscious." When mortals dream at night, their souls often wander through the realm of Hades before coming under Oneiroi's control.

The two have a close relationship and often work together to protect mortal souls.

The God of Light approached the God of Dreams and promised:

"If you sever your alliance with the God of the Underworld, I will incorporate all the 'Dream Priests' into your system and make dreams a part of the orthodox temple."

The Dream God hesitated. He knew that the Underworld God was aloof and often ignored the worship of mortals. If he really severed this relationship, the Underworld God might not notice.

So the God of Dreams reluctantly accepted the enticement of the God of Light.

The power of the Moon God and the Underworld God complement each other. At night, when mortals look up at the moonlight, the fluctuations of their souls are more likely to be guided by the Underworld God.

Therefore, the Moon God and the Underworld God also have a good relationship.

The God of Light attacked with extreme cruelty.

He borrowed the power of the Holy See of Light to forcibly uproot thousands of "Moon Goddess Temples", burnt the altars, and slaughtered the believers.

The Moon Goddess was shocked and angry, and wanted to go to war with the light.

However, at this time, the God of Light sent an envoy to whisper an admonition:

"If you continue to protect Hades, all your followers will die.

But if you withdraw, I will leave you a moon temple for you to continue your worship."

Under the absolute force, the Moon Goddess had to compromise.

Since then, the moonlight still shines on the earth, but it no longer guides souls for the god of the underworld.

The Storm God was unruly and originally looked down on the God of Light.

However, the God of Light took the opportunity to stir up His greed:

"The underworld often collects the souls of those who died in battle, and you control the storms, able to cause carnage on the battlefield.

If you ally with me, I will allow you to share in the blood sacrifice with the god of war."

The Storm God loves destruction, and he was tempted.

.

He never directly betrayed the God of the Underworld, but chose to stand idly by at the critical moment.

The God of Light used this method to disperse all of the God of the Underworld's former allies.

The God of Light did not send a single soldier, but he had already left the God of Hades isolated and helpless.

Although Hades has a solitary personality, his domain is death.

All mortals fear death, but the number of believers in the God of the Underworld remains huge.

To kill the God of the Underworld, the God of Light must first weaken the faith of these believers.

The God of Light instructed the human power, the Church of Light, to spread rumors:

"The Underworld feeds on mortal souls. Wherever flowers bloom, they are the Underworld's altars."

Many ordinary people were frightened by this and thought that the Hades Flower was a curse of death.

Faith gradually wavered.

The God of Light secretly dispatched priests to infiltrate the ranks of the Hades priests, disguised as loyal believers, and gradually rose to become high-ranking priests.

These lurkers tampered with the prayers at key ceremonies, turning the rituals that were originally intended to lead souls into prayers that sacrificed to light.

The power of Hades was greatly weakened as a result.

The most fatal step.

The God of Light joined forces with the gods in charge of time and space, secretly tampering with the "reincarnation channel" so that some mortals would directly enter nothingness after death and no longer return to the arms of the God of the Underworld.

This also led to the birth of the God of Time and Space, because this was the most deadly blow from the God of Light.

In the Age of Great Magic, death was not something to be feared.

When a mortal dies, his soul is led by the god of the underworld into the underworld, where he sleeps, reincarnates, and is reborn.

This is a complete order.

However, the God of Light was not reconciled.

His holy order cannot cover death, and He desires that souls remain under His control after death.

So He turned to the God of Time and Space.

The God of Time and Space is cold and eccentric. He controls the connections between time and space and is the most difficult existence to understand.

The God of Light signed a secret agreement with Him in the name of "sharing order."

They acted in secret—

Deep in the reincarnation channel, a "void rift" was cut.

When a mortal soul passes through this place, part of it will be extracted and fall directly into nothingness, disappearing forever.

The God of the Underworld roared in pain, realizing that one of his souls had been taken away.

But when He traced back to the source, He only saw a tampered track.

The God of Light and the God of Time and Space hid their conspiracy perfectly.

All of this should have been buried forever in the secret struggle among the gods.

Until Kronos showed up.

Kronos was originally just a great magician among mortals.

He studies time and space only to extend the lifespan of mortals and give humans more chances of survival during war.

However, one day, his apprentice died in battle.

Kronos personally guided the apprentice's soul, but found that it did not enter the underworld, but disappeared into thin air.

He searched frantically, using the Eye of Time and Space to see through the trajectory of the soul, and finally saw the tampered "crack".

He roared: "Who... tampered with the reincarnation cycle!"

At that moment, the origin of time and space responded to him.

Because he saw "God's lies", and he was the only mortal who dared to face these lies.

The origin of time and space gave him the most terrifying authority—

For the first time, the names of mortals were written into the catalog of origin.

Kronos, became a god in one leap.

It is not given by gods, but the rebellion of mortals themselves.

He became the God of Time and Space.

Kronos did not hesitate.

His first thing was to attack the temple of the God of Time and Space.

The temple is suspended above the river of eternity, where time stands still and space is distorted.

Countless pendulums are suspended in the air, and the pointers are spinning wildly. Every tick represents the birth or destruction of a dimension.

Kronos rushed into the temple, his voice like thunder:

"You steal mortal souls, you hypocrite!"
