Chapter 1039 The Fire Thief

Kamier is a very pure scholar. Compared to the complex forces between modern human countries and foreign kingdoms, he is better at analyzing data in the laboratory that makes ordinary people dizzy when they look at it. But even so, after hearing Gao Wen's words, he realized that these tests not only have academic significance, but also political considerations.

Cecil is embarking on advancing a new international relationship, an order that spans all races of the continent and includes all mortal species. The starting point of this order is that all mortal races have consistent interest demands when facing world disasters such as "divine disasters", and have a life-and-death chain of common advances and retreats. At this stage, this is more of a political call proposed by Gowen - but if someone can confirm in the laboratory that the souls of all mortal races have some kind of "synchronization" in front of the gods, and can prove that the fluctuations of the gods can ignore races and affect all intelligent creatures in the world ignoring the distance between time and space, then this concept of "community" is not just a political call.

To be honest, Carmier is not interested in politics.

But he was still happy to help Gauven establish the new order that the latter expected - as a disobedient, it was a bright future that he and his fellow citizens had imagined a thousand years ago.

Mortals unite and face world crises together, and survive tenaciously in the midst of divine disasters and demon tides.

"I get it," the ancient great magician bent down slightly, making a crisp sound during the collision of rune armor pieces. "We will complete these tests as soon as possible and provide detailed and reliable evidence."

Gao Wen nodded, and after a little thought, he said, "Also, prepare for me, I want to go to the courtyard of the fortress."

"You want to see Amoen?" Veronica immediately reacted, "Do you need my company?"

"No, I'll go by myself this time," Gao Wen shook his head, "just talk to him - the God of War has fallen, and I'm curious if he can sense anything or have any opinions on this matter."

"I understand," Veronica responded lowered her head, "Then I'll check the situation of the portal."

...

The broken world is deeper and darker than the Shadow Realm. It is located in the courtyard of the disobedient fortress in the Shadow Realm. The holy white deer, like a hill, lies quietly between floating gravel and crisscrossing ancient relics as usual. The misty white light surrounds him like a tulle, and has not changed in thousands of years.

This nearly stagnant "dead silence" lasted for unknown lengths, and Amoen suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes that seemed to be cast in crystal light and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. A special "human" was walking towards him. The former god was silent for a few seconds. After the other party approached, he spread his voice with his thoughts: "Gaven Cecil... Long time no see. Welcome to my courtyard - I am not inconvenient to move and cannot get up to entertain you."

"Your sense of humor is as always," Gao Wen smiled and came to the right distance in front of Amoen. "Is everything OK here?"

Amoen's voice rang directly into his mind: "Apart from being unable to take a walk, everything is fine - quiet, peaceful, and not disturbed by the endless surging mortal thoughts, which is a good holiday."

"That's good," Gao Wen smiled, and then went straight to the point, "Then I will explain the purpose directly - the God of War has fallen, what happened a few days ago."

Amoen fell silent for a moment.

A full minute later, the former god broke the silence with a hint of sigh: "Is that right... it's okay, it may be a good ending."

"Didn't you sense it?" Gao Wen looked at the other party curiously. "This incident caused a lot of noise. I think its influence is enough to penetrate the barriers of the Shadow World and the Shadow World."

"I did sense some fluctuations a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be caused by the fall of the God of War... Although you told me that He was on the verge of losing control, and that there will be a battle between the mortals and the God of War, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to achieve this feat like this," Amoen said slowly, "Depending on your appearance, this is going well?"

"We paid a lot of money, many people died, and the resources were consumed countless times," Gao Wen shook his head, "I don't know if this is 'smooth'."

"Ah, this has gone quite smoothly. The emperor of mankind, you have defeated a god head-on," Amoen's tone seemed to have a hint of heartfelt praise, "Be proud, this is something to be proud of. But I guess you should not just tell me about this when you come to me today?"

"Indeed, there is another thing," Gao Wen nodded, "After the fall of the God of War, we found that the remains of His body...no longer caused spiritual pollution to mortals."

Amoen seemed to be stunned for two seconds, then spoke with a hint of surprise: "Are you saying that the fragments of the God of War lost their mental pollution?"

"No, it's not that the fragments have lost their pollution, but that the mortals are no longer affected by them," Gao Wen corrected immediately, "The fragments of the God of War have not changed in nature. The mortals themselves have changed, and there is an essential difference between them."

Amoen fell silent again. He seemed to be thinking seriously. After half a minute, he spoke again: "What you mean is that through a real 'god killing' move, mortals have now completely escaped from the influence of the God of War. They not only gained freedom in using divine arts, words and deeds, but even gained spiritual resistance to the relics of the God of War - and this 'effect' not only happens to those soldiers participating in the war, but to everyone?"

"Yes, although we can't test everyone in the world, we speculate that this change has occurred in all people, perhaps even races outside of humanity."

"…I want to hear your more detailed view," Amoen looked at Gaowen, his tone becoming more serious than ever, "What have you all discovered, what your speculations are, and what you are going to verify--if you don't mind, please tell me all."

This was exactly what Gao Wen wanted to come here, so he readily agreed to Amoen's request. In the next few dozen minutes, he told the other party in detail the various phenomena discovered by the technicians in the laboratory, the information collected from various information channels, as well as the speculations of Carmier and others.

During the entire story, Amoen seemed particularly quiet, without even making a single word. It was not until Gao Wen finally finished speaking that he let out a long and meaningful sigh.

After a few seconds, the former god broke the silence: "It seems that there was a small loophole in my original plan, and there was a missing link for mortals to 'handedly'. So... are you planning to organize people to come in and 'kill' me again while I can't resist?"

"Ahem..." Gao Wen immediately coughed dryly. For a moment, he could not confirm whether Amoen's words were sincere or the unique sense of humor of this former god. "Of course it won't be like this, you're thinking too much."

Then he paused and explained to Amoen what he had explained to Amber in the laboratory. In order to reassure the other party, he also emphasized in the end: "...Overall, our main purpose is only to enable the mortal race to survive in this world. Even if we restart the plan of disobedience, we actually have no subjective hostility towards the gods - we will not take extreme measures if we have a choice."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Amoen who was listening quietly, and after hesitating a little, he said something he had been thinking about for some time: "In fact, I think there must be another way between mortals and gods - the third way besides the opposition between life and death and complete isolation. I once considered this issue, and now I am increasingly convinced of it."

"Too ideal and optimistic," Amoen finally spoke, "but you don't seem to have this idea that comes out of blind optimism or some naive idea."

"I have my philosophy," Gao Wen looked at the "God of Nature" with a serious expression. "I firmly believe in one thing - since the existence of the gods is the result of the operation of the natural laws of this world, then this 'Natural Law' can be mastered and controlled. It's just time. Now we can't find the third way, it's just because we don't know enough about the mystery of time. But if we give up exploring because we can't find the way for a while, then we are essentially no different from those who seek help from the gods when we encounter difficulties."

"Fearless..." Amoen sighed, "You reminded me of the first people who walked out of the cave, those who brought branches to make fire from lightning strikes... The fearless fire thieves should have such qualities, but I have to remind you that more people will die before the first cluster of flames burned, than those who succeeded in stealing fire."

Gao Wen nodded solemnly: "Thank you, I will keep your reminder in mind."

"Since you have reached this point, I will give you some more suggestions," Amoen suddenly said after a quiet moment, "I think you are here today mainly to listen to my 'suggestions'?"

Gao Wen's expression immediately became serious: "Look at the ear."

"I don't know what method you plan to 'control' the laws of the God's operation, but I hope you can remember that no matter which god, they are firmly limited by the "code" of their birth, by the initial "shaping" of their thoughts, even when they are on the verge of madness, or even in a state of madness, their actions actually follow these "original dogmas".

"On this basis, I have two suggestions: First, you should be cautious about what you want to do, but you can also be bold. As long as you strictly comply with the most critical parts of the "code", you don't have to worry about the gods losing control - mortals in the world think that gods are irritable and if there is a slight mistake, they will be punished. But in fact... whether it is "anger" or "joy", the "emotion" of the gods themselves cannot dominate their own actions at all, and they can only act according to the rules.

"No matter how angry the god is, he cannot punish a believer who has never violated the original dogma, and no matter how happy the god is, he cannot bless a mortal who does not believe in himself. In a sense, the noble god is actually just a group of poor people who cannot help himself.

"Secondly, I suggest that you and your scholars study the oldest and most primitive religious scriptures, summarize the 'laws' of a god from the source of faith, and sort out the changes of these laws according to historical development, rather than directly cope with modern classics that have undergone countless repairs and polishes.

"Many times, modern classics and the most primitive religious texts seem to depict the same thing, but due to the subtle adjustments of the commentator intentionally or unintentionally, the doctrines they correspond to have actually undergone subtle deviations - if these subtle deviations are improperly manipulated, there will be big problems."

Gao Wen subconsciously clenched his fist - this was the first time Amoen made such a specific "suggestion" to him that had even involved actual operation!

Obviously, the constraints suffered by this "God of Nature" were once again 'loose', and this change is most likely related to the battle on the Winter Fort Front.

His trip was not in vain.

After remembering Amoen's reminder, he breathed a long sigh of relief, with a sincere smile on his face: "Thank you very much for your advice - I will use them for practice."

Then he took out the mechanical watch he carried with him and looked at the time on it, and took a step back slightly: "I have been staying here for too long, and it's time to leave. Finally, I would like to thank you again."

"No need to thank you. After all, it's hard for me to meet someone as interesting as you," Amoen's tone seemed to have a smile. "If you really want to express your gratitude, I want to ask you for help."

"Please help me?" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the crisscrossing constraints around the other party. "I'll agree first, if I want me to help you remove these..."

"Don't worry, I know my situation - I'm not completely 'harmless'. It's normal for you to have concerns, so I don't ask you to help me unblock," Amoen took the initiative to speak without waiting for Gao Wen to finish his sentence, "It's just... it's really boring to lie here for such a long time, and I want to find some fun."

"Fun?" Gao Wen blinked, "What do you want?"

"I heard that something new in the human world called Magic Net terminal has appeared, which is similar to the communication network of the Gondor Empire at the time, but it is even more interesting." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Amoen hesitated for a moment, but he continued, "...I'm a little curious about it."

Give me a .jpg too.

Gao Wen: "…"

After a moment of surprise, he realized: "The magic network terminal has to rely on the magic network to run, and I'm not sure whether it can still run stably after crossing the portal of the shadow world..."

"I think it's OK," said Amoen, "that ancient portal is actually more stable than you think. As early as the age of Gondor, mortal mages sent very complex magical information through portals - in theory, it can allow for lossless transmission of magic."

Gao Wen: "…"
