Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1102 The Manifestation of the Destruction of the Five Great Worlds
Nidhogg.

Upon hearing this name, the hearts of many powerful cultivators stirred.

As a name personally mentioned by a god-king, the being it refers to is naturally not simple.

In the legends of the far north, there is a legend of Ragnarok.

That was the collapse of heaven and earth, and the fall of all the main gods—including those who created the world.

This is a legend, and also a prophecy.

Most importantly, the source of this prophecy is not elsewhere.

That was the creation of the world in the far north, the Tree Ding!

Speaking of which, among the several creators of the world, the Tree Ding of the Great Northern Heaven is also a very special one.

Its special feature is that it was not created from the very beginning.

Instead, they crossed that crucial boundary through some special means.

The prophecy of Ragnarok was made by the creator of the world at the very moment of creation.

Or rather, it was a fate he himself had ordained, and it was unchangeable.

In short, it's unclear how this groundbreaking event actually worked.

The prophecy of Ragnarok also became part of his creation of the world.

Nidhogg is the divine being born under this prophecy.

The real name of the far north is Shuding Datian.

Shuding—that is, the name of the creation of the world.

At the same time, it also signifies the source of this great heaven.

A world tree that holds up the entire sky.

In the vast universe, all the great and small heavens, universes, planes, and so on are leaves on this World Tree.

All of this is due to the order of the World Tree.

If placed in Pantian, this World Tree would be comparable to, or even surpass, a primordial treasure.

Apart from the withered branches that fall naturally, none of the gods in the heavens can harm the World Tree in the slightest.

Nidhogg was born from the roots of the World Tree.

Even when it was still in its infancy and in a state of ignorance, it had already begun to gnaw at the roots of the World Tree.

The gods and powerful beings of the Great Heaven of Tree Ding were all helpless in the face of this.

Like Thor and other great gods who are in charge of warfare, they have attacked Nidhogg more than once.

But each time Nidhogg dies, he is reborn in the shadow of the World Tree.

Then, it began to devour the origin of the World Tree with an even more unstoppable force.

During the process of killing Nidhogg, Nidhogg's shadow merged with the World Tree, giving birth to two more demonic wolves that chase the sun and moon and devour time.

It wasn't until these two demonic wolves were born that the powerful figures of Shuding Datian truly realized the terror of Nidhogg.

To be precise, it was the terror of the 'prophecy' that originated from the creation of the world.

It was the terror that came from fate.

This fear persisted until the five great realms of heaven and earth came into contact.

At that time, amidst the collision between Pan Tian and the Great Northern Heaven, and the chaotic contact between several great heavens and earths, the supreme being of the Shuding Great Heaven and Earth, that being at the level of creating heaven and earth, finally found a wondrous opportunity.

Thus, during that war, Yang Jian and Nezha, who had set out on the battlefield in the far north, inexplicably entered the Great Heaven of the Far North and appeared before the World Tree, the most fundamental source of heaven and earth.

Afterwards, Yang Jian tamed the two demonic wolves and brought them back to Pantian—which are now the Devouring Sun God and Devouring Moon God who follow Yang Jian.

The demonic wolf that chased the sun and moon and devoured time in the far north of the Great Heaven came to Pan Tian and became Yang Jian's most powerful helper.

Even the traces left by the Great Luo could not escape the pursuit of these two divine lords.

Then there's Nidhogg.

After the Devouring Sun God and the Devouring Moon God were taken away, they remained quiet under the World Tree for a very long time and never stirred again.

Therefore, some of the great gods of the Tree Ding Great Heaven believed that the two demonic wolves that chased the sun and moon and devoured time were Nidhogg's eyes, the organs through which he 'perceived' the world.

Because his eyes were taken away, he could no longer perceive the world, and therefore could no longer continue to devour the origin of the World Tree.

However, some other powerful figures among the Tree Ding Great Heavens actually knew an even deeper secret.

Nidhogg's safety was not due to the loss of his eyes.

It was because his 'dragon tendons' had been removed.

It's truly an incredible thing.

—So incredible that even Loki now cannot understand the reason behind it.

Nidhogg is a symbol of destruction, a poisonous dragon born from the prophecy of creation.

Previously, the powerful figures of Shuding Datian had killed him time and time again—but they had failed to take any spoils from him.

Even if he were to die, or merely be injured, his essence would simply merge into the roots of the World Tree.

Then a new 'Nidhogg' was born.

But the result?

That powerful being from Pantian, Nezha who stepped into the Great World of Shuding with Yang Jian—is now the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.

While Yang Jian was subduing the two demonic wolves, this great god of the Three Altars and Seas leisurely found Nidhogg.

Then, Nidhogg's dragon tendons were removed!
To this day, Loki still cannot understand how a tangible dragon tendon could be extracted from the formless and shapeless Nidhogg.
From that moment on, Shu Ding Da Tian's fate began to take a turn for the worse.

Nidhogg, the symbol of destruction, began to be degraded—from the doomed end of destruction, it became a poisonous dragon.

It is still difficult to deal with, but it is no longer insurmountable.

Similarly, precisely because its dragon tendons had been removed, this venomous dragon had become unusually lazy.

It was as if even the motivation to act had been taken away.

As for the dragon tendons that were taken away by the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas...

After the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas returned to Pantian, he turned the dragon tendon into a belt.

This belt is now tied around the body of that Great Dragon God who upholds Heaven and righteousness!
Of course, these things were all top secrets of Shu Ding Da Tian.

It was a top secret personally sealed by Shuding, the one who created the world.

Loki and his companions know these things, but under Treethorn's restrictions, they are completely unable to reveal them to anyone.

It is precisely in these great realms that Nidhogg's image is the ultimate manifestation, the supreme manifestation, of destruction itself.

It is the destroyer of Shuding, the one who created the world.

This creation of the world by the tree-root will one day completely merge with that body of destruction, and reverse all the results of his own deeds.

This is how the powerful beings of the Five Great Worlds perceive Nidhogg—not some ordinary deity, but an embodiment of a future path that opens up the world.

It is an existence that connects the five great worlds and can be called the 'ultimate'.

In terms of destruction itself, its position in the sequence is undoubtedly supreme.

Even Pan Tian's World-Destroying Millstone cannot compare to him in this respect.

At that moment, Loki said he would throw this ultimate embodiment of destruction into Pantian.

The impact this had on those powerful figures outside the realm is unimaginable.

After all, that was the ultimate destruction in the Five Great Worlds—an existence that even Tree Ding, who created the world, could not overcome.

Could the Great Celestial Realm of the Far North really have a way to send such a powerful being to Pan Tian?
If the Great Northern Heaven were to release such a powerful being into the Pan Tian realm, would it truly be able to control him?

How terrifying would it be if it were out of control?

But wouldn't it be even more terrifying if it were controllable?
Almost instinctively, they tried to persuade Loki to stop.

Once Loki has made up his mind, there's no way they can dissuade him.

"Don't worry, everyone." As if sensing their apprehension and worry, Loki suddenly smiled.

"How could anyone easily touch Nidhogg's true form?"

"Many years ago, I secretly hid a trace of Nidhogg in Pantian."

“Now, destruction is emerging in the Pantian. I only need to go with the flow and use this emerging destruction to slightly stimulate Nidhogg’s traces. Then, under Nidhogg’s influence, the destruction in the Pantian will naturally manifest an even more unpredictable change.”

Loki's smile grew increasingly sinister and terrifying.

Beneath that ferocious and terrifying smile, his gaze was also secretly fixed on the Great Dragon God who upheld Heaven and Righteousness.

—To be precise, it was looking at the belt around the waist of the Great Dragon God Chengtian Bingyi.

He was eager to know what the Great Dragon God of Heaven and Righteousness would do when the belt around his waist suddenly transformed into the incarnation of Nidhogg and bit him.
Nidhogg has been demoted to a poison dragon.

This Great Dragon God who upholds Heaven and righteousness also has the concept of a dragon and can be considered one of the 'ancestors' of dragons.

In this situation, once Nidhogg's avatar bites the Great Dragon God of Heaven and Righteousness, the damage it inflicts on the Great Dragon God of Heaven and Righteousness will be beyond imagination!

"Honesty?" Loki laughed inwardly.

"How interesting."

"I really want to see that scene sooner."

"When you, who uphold integrity, discover that the most vicious thing within you comes from another 'brother' who also upholds integrity and forged a legend with you, what would you think?"

Will you continue to uphold your principles?

"Continue to trust your brother?"

"Or will you abandon your principles and believe this is a murder that has been going on for millions of years?"

"What will your brother do when he finds out that the fatal blow came from him?"

"And the living beings in this heavenly realm."

"When they learn that in this legend of loyalty, one symbol of loyalty secretly handed a poisoned dagger to another symbol of loyalty, what will they think? What will they believe?"

"Will they still believe in this so-called faith and integrity?"

Loki was secretly laughing.

"I really want to see that day soon!"

"Faith...faith..."

"If you don't fall, what's the point of my existence? What right do I have to exist?"

Just as these great Śrāvakas were discussing, the voice of Shakyamuni Buddha rang in their ears once again.

However, this time the voice did not come from Shakyamuni's initiative.

Instead, it was a great immortal who intercepted the message from Shakyamuni to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.

—Although Shakyamuni's methods of communication were covert, he himself was an extremely powerful being.

Unfortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who received the information, was ultimately not a Great Luo Immortal.

"Guanyin, the source of Buddhism, is showing signs of being corrupted. Quickly take action to suppress this destructive aura."

"Otherwise, the source of this destructive aura will be affected, connecting with the very essence of Buddhism and corrupting it!"

In the intercepted message, Shakyamuni's voice sounded extremely urgent.

"So, do you want to move?"

In the Southern Continent, the avatars of several powerful beings from beyond the realm near the Guanyin Temple stopped.

If Loki's plan had been followed, they should have rushed directly to the Guanyin Temple and dispersed the destructive aura that had gathered and transformed into a black lotus.

Thus, this aura, along with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, rises in the sky, permeating and spreading everywhere, eventually touching the traces of Nidhogg.

However, if they were to disperse this destructive aura now, its erosion of the Buddhist origin would also be interrupted.

—Compared to Nidhogg, the aura of destruction infiltrating Buddhism is also extremely good news for these powerful beings from beyond the realm.

Judging from the current situation, this aura of destruction has only gathered and manifested itself here at Guanyin Temple.

If it is broken up, it will not be able to penetrate the Buddhist community.

If it is not dispersed, the traces of Nidhogg cannot be triggered.

You can only choose one of the two.

So, is it Buddhism or Nidhogg?
Time flies by.

The closest incarnations of the Great Luo Immortals from beyond the realm also quickly communicated and deliberated.

The situation in Buddhism is related to the interests of everyone.

Given the size of Buddhism, if it is corrupted by this destruction and cannot be severed in time, the entire situation in Pantian will be easily affected.

As for Nidhogg... it seems to be solely in the interest of the Far North Heaven family.

In reality, after Loki said he could send Nidhogg to another great world, Nidhogg's existence became a concern for the powerful figures of several great worlds.

If Nidhogg were to manifest in the heavens, then everyone would have the opportunity to observe what kind of situation this manifestation of the Destruction side is really like.

Having learned from Pan Tian's experience, they would have a plan to deal with the situation should Nidhogg manifest in their world one day.

Alternatively, by observing any signs before and after Nidhogg's appearance, they might be able to anticipate Nidhogg's arrival.

In contrast, the disturbances caused by Buddhism involve the interests of these powerful figures.

However, Nidhogg's affairs clearly affect the interests of their own realm...

"The vast universe?"

"What does that have to do with me?" In an instant, the few Great Luo incarnations who were close by exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions.
