The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 506

The overall number of tree demons is actually lower than that of colossus puppets.

But each of them has an independent image and distinct characteristics, coupled with their powerful strength and imposing manner, giving people the feeling that they are the ones with more numbers and more power.

The Colossi's response to this wave of attacks from the demons was not an orderly and uniform counterattack like the three-stage shooting method.

They are more like the militiamen of this era who have received several months of formal training. Their discipline has not been ingrained into their bones, but they just look okay.

Once the battle becomes intense, people will just swing their fists without any regard for the consequences, without any rules or strategies.

There was no Roman infantry phalanx, Macedonian phalanx, etc. At most, in the early stage, they would shout a few slogans, "One, two, vibe!" to push the opponent away and take the opportunity to pass the knife.

But the tree demons are not in a dense formation shoulder to shoulder to the top of the line. They are more like the Avengers superheroes fighting together in a scattered line, and then each using their own methods.

Compared to the super-heroic style of the tree demons, the colossi are more like high-level standard soldiers. They are both good at offense and defense, have few means and appear to be quite conventional, but they are all very practical.

When facing them, the tree demons had no way of overcoming them. They were destroyed in one go. Instead, they were like a flood entering a forest, which was constantly diverted and slowed down by the big trees, and then fell into a chaotic confrontation.

When the gods in the Pantheon saw this scene, many of them nodded with satisfaction.

The layered blocking tactics of the decision-makers of the coalition of gods were generally successful.

You know, although these demons are not perfect and are still growing rapidly, their strength is no weaker than the top-tier strange group of the coalition of the gods.

Although the gods were puzzled and jealous that the God of Nature had suddenly come up with such a powerful thug army, they would not blindly talk nonsense and regard it as a weapon of the same level as the Colossus.

Since it is a simplified version of the dark evil top-tier strange team, the Colossus Corps can successfully block it and continue to consume it, so it is worthwhile even if the losses are a little greater.

After all, a colossus can be built quickly as long as there are resources, but the training of top-tier singularities is criticized for the time cost alone, and this is not the most troublesome thing.

Each church has special accounting records. The sunk cost of training high-level strange people is very high, one in dozens, or even one in a hundred. Those who cannot cross the threshold of the law have a high casualty rate, exceeding 50%.

Why is this so? It’s a long story, but to make it short: overthrowing the Way of Heaven does bring a lot of gains, but it is not without its drawbacks. In the past, the Way of Heaven took care of everything, but now you have to bear all the responsibilities.

To use an inappropriate analogy, change from automatic driving to manual driving.

Manual driving is indeed more flexible, but what if the driver is a bad driver?

Well, every experienced driver started as a rookie.

But someone has to bear the cost of growing up, right?
If the gods are unwilling to take on the responsibility, then many high-level strange beings will be used as training.

This is also the reason why, at the time point before Hei Luobo's travel through time, there was a large-scale global event of refining the law and condensing the truth held once every ten years on Caiwu Island.

The gods' related skills are improving, and the extraordinary people are also improving through trial and error. Against the background of breaking down the automatic transmission and having to take full responsibility manually, this two-way rush has gradually formed some phenomena and hidden rules that seem strange in the eyes of outsiders.

But now, the gods have not yet put away their weapons and let their horses go to the mountains. The success rate of high-level strange creatures is frighteningly low, and the cost is frighteningly high.

Based on this, the gods believed that the battle between the Colossus Corps and the Demons was a matter of using money to defeat the other side's advanced troops and collect intelligence, and they were not short of money now.

For the same reason, they were jealous of the God of Nature who quietly created a bunch of high-level demons, and they really wanted to know the reason. This curiosity started with carefully observing the behavior of the demons and then analyzing their roots.

But Parvus, the decision maker of the coalition of gods, had other ideas.

As a demigod, he has his own little secrets, such as: antiquity.

He is the first Outer God to enter this world.

Although the whole process was entirely due to luck with a small probability, he firmly believed that fate's arrangement was an indication that he had the possibility of using this world to become a true Outer God active on the stage of all realms.

But this opportunity was snatched away by a group of colleagues.

Of course he was angry, but anger couldn't solve the problem.

He has long passed the youthful stage where he would become helpless and furious when faced with overwhelming difficulties.

He knew that his fellow travelers were outnumbered.

Later he also learned that they were inextricably linked with the ancient god Weird Emperor.

So he made two preparations, one of which was to become the governor of the world.

This concept is an internal position of the Supreme Society established by the Weird Emperor. Its territory is the planetary main material plane, and its highest administrator is called the World Governor.

The backup plan is to make a lot of money and accumulate strength for the next promotion.

To be honest, if there is a chance to score two or three points, Parvus will not choose Plan B.
People like him know very well that the so-called "there will be another chance next time" is just a kind of self-consolation of admitting defeat.

The best opportunity is always now. Instead of thinking about next time, develop the habit of doing your best to win in the present moment.

Therefore, his plan B was more of a rational response to anticipate that things might not go smoothly, rather than a retreat that could be used for both offense and defense.

In the current war, his goal was to command a great victory and thus add a brilliant chapter to his career resume.

Everything was going smoothly before, but on the all-important night of the decisive battle, the first shot failed to fire, resulting in heavy casualties.

Now, we can only settle for the second best and win with dignity.

What does it mean to win in a decent way?
A good warrior does not need to have glorious achievements. He does not need to make the battle thrilling or suspenseful. It is decent to keep it stable and defeat the enemy with an irreversible trend.

After all, the background of this battle is that the coalition of gods has an absolute advantage. He has a large number of soldiers and generals, sufficient food and grass, and the people are loyal to him, and he has an invincible backer.

With such a background, it would be a loss of face if he couldn't win easily, and he had already lost points on this night of the decisive battle.

What is lost on the battlefield must be found on the battlefield.

Therefore, he could not be satisfied with the situation of chaos on the front line.

So he activated another move.

This move was his masterpiece, and to summarize it, it can be called: traitor.

Elf civilization is not as bad as humans think, but it is not as good as the Elf King thinks.

It has many problems. For example, its eternal nature means there is no change of dynasties, and class stratification is almost inevitable, so internal conflicts will only accumulate. Even though the longevity of the species allows the elves more time to solve specific problems, it makes the conflicts accumulate more delicately, heavily, and densely, until an unsolvable avalanche comes.

So from a certain perspective, the elven civilization lasted for tens of thousands of years, and in the end it was not destroyed by its own problems, but was exterminated by external forces, which can be considered a decent end.

Of course, from another perspective, one of the important reasons why the elven civilization has been overtaken by human civilization in all aspects such as technology, productivity, economy, and national strength is that the civilization itself is in a state of gradual rigidity and inactivity.

Against this backdrop, there is naturally no shortage of knowledgeable people among the elves.

Many knowledgeable people are labeled as idealists, and among them there are some energetic and passionate practitioners who will try to reverse the downward trend and revive racial civilization.

If these people succeed, they will be revolutionary pioneers; if they fail, they will be rebels and traitors.

The traitor and executor of the decision-makers of the coalition of gods exist like this.

Valarian, a pure elf of duke blood, is one of the senior commanders of the last elven kingdom and the commander of the Silver Fir Corps.

Unlike Ranadelle, who was too naive and ignorant to be fooled, Valerian's qualifications were no less than those of the Elf King.

So he is a seasoned pragmatist, the kind who won't act until he sees the rabbit.

However, the label of idealist makes him lose some points.

Because his ideas about civilization, country, system, organization, etc. are filled with too many assumptions.

That's why it's called idealism.

Although it is also based on reality, the fact that the current system is not working does not mean that what you come up with will definitely work. We are all making improvements and trial and error. It’s just that dynasties will also become old, and low metabolic efficiency is precisely one of the main reasons for their old age.

It is worth mentioning that in the face of a situation where the situation is hopeless and gradually heading towards complete destruction, Valarian's view on the future of the elven population coincides to some extent with that of the Elf King.

He also felt that the era of the elves had ended long ago, and it was only the favor of the god of nature that kept them alive until death.

Now that the God of Nature is about to leave, where should the elves go? The answer is naturally nirvana and rebirth.

However, unlike the Elf King who is determined to stick to his principles, he still respects nature in the afterlife.

Villarian felt that the elves' success and failure were due to the favor of God. If they had a chance to be reborn, they should not repeat the same mistakes in the future, but should rely on themselves.

Besides, by then, there will be no one to rely on the god of nature.

Because the god of nature who favors the elves will be erased and replaced, this is an irreversible trend.

With this understanding in mind, Valarion has been looking for a specific way to help the elves to be reborn. The method actually has a framework, but there are a few key problems that have not been solved.

The specific method is psychic ascension + life secret storage.

Both are easy to understand, the former focuses on the preservation of the soul, while the latter focuses on the preservation of the body.

Since they actively practice the secret techniques and strengthen their souls to the point where they can exist independently as spirit bodies, they can then implement their plans and thus gain operational space without having to go through the usual post-death process.

The so-called post-death process is that the soul dissipates in a strong sense of satisfaction, the true spirit returns to the true spirit river, or the soul ascends to the spiritual world, where it completes the "dispersion of the soul and flying spirit".

For the elves with highly developed magical skills, there is no shortage of secret methods for the body, and there are even multiple options.

For example, a natural body whose consciousness dies due to an accident but whose body is effectively preserved.

A high-quality replica of a human body artificially created using similar cloning technology.

In order to prevent extreme situations from happening, the overt functions are closer to humans, while the extraordinary qualities are hidden in the blood, waiting for the right opportunity to activate them.

Even artificial insemination can produce genuine embryos in vitro by placing them in a culture tank.

It can be said that in order to achieve his goal, Villarian tried his best, including but not limited to family wealth, connections, etc.

Although this grand plan has been progressing with setbacks all along, as the saying goes, people never die and politics never ceases. After nearly a thousand years of accumulation, the project is finally approaching completion.

This would take so long and cause so much noise, it was natural for the Elf King to not know about it.

Therefore, Valarion was quite good at playing the game of hypocrisy. He covered up the big differences with small conflicts, and he never revealed that his goal was to work alone without the God of Nature.

What’s even more interesting is that his devotion to the God of Nature is not false.

Villarian’s idea is that I am me and the elves of the future are the elves of the future, and they cannot be confused.

I have many reasons to be pious to the God of Nature, and there is nothing wrong with that. Similarly, the future elves also have good reasons not to cling to the God of Nature.

So now, all other aspects of this project have been able to continue to be perfect under the conditions, and it will not be affected if there are no conditions to declare that the goals have been successfully achieved. The only thing missing is one key concept - housekeeper!
To put it more vividly, it is similar to the ship-borne AI of a starship.

This artificial intelligence, which integrates key functions such as real-time monitoring, information collection, rapid response, and emergency processing, can be said to be the essential core of any high-end, comprehensive large-scale facility.

Especially when it comes to recovery after tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years.

Villarian knew very well that if the sky had feelings, it would also grow old. Even a god might not be able to bear the weight of such a long time, but he remained steadfast and his original intention remained unchanged.

Therefore, this butler can be said to be the finishing touch of his elf nirvana plan and the key to success or failure. So, who should he choose? How should he choose?
Vallarian discovered that fate still favored the elves. Just when he had been searching for many years but was still frustrated, and saw the elves declining and heading towards their end, the remains of an old god came into his sight.

It took Villarian nearly thirty years just to identify and obtain the remains, and countless manpower, material resources, energy and financial resources were invested.

But he succeeded in getting it after all, and facts have proved that using the remains of the old gods as a container to create a spirit weapon is a wise choice.

But Villarian didn't know that the so-called gift of fate was actually a trap set by Parvus early on.

The remains of the old god belong to Him.

In order not to expose the truth that he had mistakenly entered this world many years earlier than the other foreign gods, he materialized his divine body, and he himself took over the bodies of the natives of this world and climbed the peak of the gods again.

This step may seem risky, but the risk is actually controllable.

First of all, he achieved the status of a god step by step. It was later that he tried to become a primordial spirit and took the risk of death, and only then did he come to this world with both blessings and disasters.

In other words, by virtue of his possession of high-end life in two worlds, he has already taken half a step into the soul sequence.

This is also the main reason why he is so arrogant and looks down on the spirits of the Weird Emperor.

The souls of the Guihuang lineage, whether they were instructed by the Guihuang or traded with some soul boss, were able to achieve their souls with the help of the pioneers.

Those who have achieved the primordial spirit in this way will inevitably be held at the mercy of fatal weapons, leaving hidden dangers.

He is different. Although he failed to successfully sever all causal connections with the world of his birth, he successfully survived in another world under this background.

This dual identity gave him an opportunity and research direction.

As long as we leverage each other's strengths, it is possible to offset constraints and become a free spirit.

Moreover, he was familiar with the climbing path from a transcendent to a god, and it happened to be a good time when the foreign gods invaded this world, the origin of the world was stolen, and the power of the way of heaven was greatly reduced.

It can be said that his second journey to become a demigod was quite smooth, with some minor surprises but no major dangers.

In this way, he was in the light and his remains were in the dark, and the project gradually advanced to the critical stage, which was also the most dangerous stage.

The dangerous thing is that he needs to compete with the gods for food.

What do the gods want most?
Data on the vast and complex system of laws of heaven.

In comparison, the power of laws is much inferior.

After all, a considerable part of the power of laws can only be exerted in the main material plane. There are different rules in the spiritual world and the astral world.

Even those that can be used need to be processed similar to transcoding before they can be recognized (this is why what Hei Luobo cares most about after traveling through time is the acquisition of law parameter information).

Transcoding involves the problem of recognition, and if you want to recognize it, you need to decode it.

Even for the same language, there are differences in local accents, not to mention the rules. If you make a mistake, it is not just a joke, but a big problem and a big accident. This is much more terrifying than the inflammable and explosive objects in common cognition.

Therefore, the law system of the Heavenly Dao is the most valuable. It is like a player that can read the power of special types of laws. As long as you have this system, you can still read it even if you leave this main material planet.

Even if we cannot obtain all the information of the system, but only a part of it, we can still read some of the rules. This will reduce the loss much more than transcoding by ourselves.

Of course, Parvus also knew that the law system was a piece of cake that he could not touch.

He devoted himself to the cause and performed outstandingly, but in the end he was just an indigenous god. Whether he became the governor of the world is another matter.

After all, the circle of gods is not a simple one where the capable are promoted and the mediocre are replaced. There are plenty of people with connections waiting to reap the rewards.

Here comes the point, He also wants the system of Heavenly Laws, but the big guys can't give it to Him.

Then it can only be obtained through other means.

This was why he had arranged the remains and set Villarian on the path to safety.

The original plan was that when the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, the high-ranking officials of the elves would have the intelligence advantage and get a share of the pie in advance.

Then, we just need to find a reason to make Villarian willing to take out the hot ones at the critical moment and obtain the system of laws of heaven, and the plan will go smoothly.

And the reason is not difficult to find, for example, activation needs.

The old gods are the gods from ancient times and are the main assistants in assisting the Heavenly Dao in evolving the world.

No matter if they retire after achieving success or are abandoned after their death, their consciousness has completely dissipated, leaving only the remnants of their bodies. These are the remains of the old gods.

A high-standard intelligent spirit needs to be born and grow in a high-standard container.

This is why Valarion chose the remains of the old gods as the birth container for the butler.

Not only that, Villarian also has to find a Niubi Plus packaging method for his Nirvana plan.

Whether it is a body, an embryo, a dormant soul, or an information database storing civilization, it all needs to be well packaged in order to resist the invasion of the power of time and not deteriorate.

What kind of packaging can do this?

Of course, it is a self-contained system of rules and regulations, like a miniature world, which fights change with change while ensuring that the encapsulated core remains unchanged.

Therefore, Villarian can only and must obtain the information of the Heavenly Dao Law System and add it to the remains of the old gods to give birth to an artificial, monkey-like, miniature god of nature.

The version may be 1.1.x, which is not important. What is important is that it can last forever, and even open up a dimension similar to a demiplane when the Nirvana plan cannot be carried out for a long time.

In this way, the elves' nirvana plan will not have to wait indefinitely and never be realized.

Originally, even if it was to obtain the information of the Heavenly Dao system, it had to be completed before or after the death of the God of Nature.

But now, the appearance of the tree demon means that the god of nature is striding forward on the road to evil.

How could Villarian tolerate this? The other gods might not mind the evil god of nature, after all, they were evil, but Villarian did mind because the butler would be affected.

Expecting a lotus to grow in a mud pit was a technical difficulty that Valerian couldn't handle, and he didn't have the time to do it. So, he could only help the God of Nature by pulling out the pipe in advance...
