Chapter 547 The Origin of the True God
Seeing the second prince Everton looking distraught, everyone couldn't help but feel the same and sigh.

The once magnificent palace has now become a ruin, and compared with the material losses, the human losses are far beyond expectations.

When Ryan's injuries had healed and he came to the palace again, a large number of guards had already begun to collect the corpses.

Ryan came to Menia's side, looked at the place where Carlos II fell, and said:

"Menya, why are all the resurrected gods evil? What about the righteous gods? For example, what about the monsoon and ocean goddesses?"

In his opinion, if the revival was caused by the energy tide, it should not be only the revival of the evil god.

If there were righteous gods participating in the battle for the imperial capital, perhaps the results would be much better.

"The righteous gods have long since withered away. Since ancient times, the evil gods have continuously invaded our world. According to ancient records, about twenty-three righteous gods have completely disappeared in the long river of time, and some of them have not even left their temples."

"Currently, within the empire, the only ones who still have a weak faith response are Monsoon and the Ocean Goddess."

"However, I don't know if it's because of the seal on that item, but until now, there has been no sign of the goddess reviving."

"That's it." Renn nodded.

He knew that part of the evil demon's body was sealed in the deepest part of the underground of the Cologne Cathedral in the imperial capital.

Ryan had thought that neither the evil gods nor the righteous gods wanted to see the emergence of demigods among humans, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

After the war, there were too many things to deal with in the imperial capital.

Under the current circumstances, the Second Prince Everton obviously could not be relied upon, so after an emergency discussion among a group of imperial elders, Menia continued to serve as regent.

After saying goodbye to Menia, Ryan walked towards the mansion.

Along the way, there were people crying and shouting at the top of their lungs, such as a little girl with twin ponytails wearing a pink dress, who was holding a doll and crying in front of a collapsed house.

Under the ruins of the house, the remains of a young woman can be seen.

Obviously, the other party had a happy life before, but now...
Continuing forward, there is a crater-like broken area in front. A man is wailing while holding his broken leg. Judging from the signs, this should be caused by the aftermath of the previous battle.

Federation, Zetaia.

A cave camp in the Reserlo Canyon.

Sword Master Tirion, Dawn Wizard Hernandez, and several distinguished old wizards sat together around a long table, discussing something with solemn expressions.

One of them was Hiram, the dean of the Federal Mechanical Research Institute, and judging from his aura, he had successfully entered the level of Dawn Wizard.

"Hiram, according to your judgment, what exactly is that huge metal dinosaur that appeared on the negative second floor?" asked the Sword Master Tirion.

"According to the memory crystal that Lord Ryan left us last time, plus the records in the ancient books, I am 90% sure that the opponent should be the top combat force in the ancient goblin mechanical army - the Tyrannosaurus King."

"If we talk about the level of golems, the ancient goblins named them 'Leader-level', while wizards would more often name them 'Titan-level'," Hiram explained.

Just a few days after he successfully entered the Dawn Wizard, he was called over by the Swordmaster Tirion.

The reason is simple: the Federation's exploration operations were forced to suspend.

During this period of time, the Federation has assembled six Dawn Wizards and the Swordmaster Tirion, a total of seven epic fighters, but they were unable to penetrate into the negative third floor and were forced to stop at the negative second floor.

The biggest obstacle they encountered was a super-giant metal dinosaur, and Hiram was frightened when he first saw it.

"Titan level? Doesn't that mean it's a demigod-level existence?" exclaimed an old wizard holding a blue crystal ball.

"Yes, according to ancient records, a complete goblin mechanical army in ancient times was enough to fight against the strongest demigods." Hiram nodded and said.

"Doesn't that mean that it's impossible for us to control the floating city?" said another old wizard in a gray robe, frowning.

The number of epic-level powerhouses that the Federation can mobilize is naturally more than the seven in front of them, but the problem is that the various situations faced within the Federation’s territory are also relatively complicated, and the current seven people are already close to the limit that can be mobilized.

If more were to be mobilized, the situation in many territories would deteriorate dramatically.

"Well, perhaps we can invite the Empire, especially Lord Ryan, to participate?" Hiram suddenly made a suggestion.

"The floating city is top secret. Invite the Empire to participate? Sir Hiram, do you think it is appropriate?" The old wizard who was holding the blue crystal ball just now looked at Hiram with a speechless expression.

However, he soon discovered that both the Dawn Wizard Hernandez and the Swordmaster Tirion were silent, and instead looked like they were concentrating on thinking and considering something seriously.

This made him very curious.

"That... Is Lord Ryan from the Empire that powerful?"

"One person defeated the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld, killed the ancient sea beast 'Smoldering Electric Eel', and defeated the main force of the Poseidon Cult. Do you think it's powerful enough?" Hiram said unhappily.

The other party was from the same batch of wizards as him, but because of their personalities and tempers, they had always disliked each other. However, the other party was promoted much earlier than Hiram, so Hiram had always been at a disadvantage.

Now that Hiram has successfully entered the level of Dawn Wizard, he will naturally no longer tolerate it.

"That doesn't mean the other party can defeat the 'King of Tyrannosaurus', right?" The old man looked embarrassed, but still stubbornly said.

"Haha, the other party is a rare metal-type dawn wizard, and he is at least in the late dawn stage."

"What! But... How is this possible? There are only a few old guys in the late Dawn Wizard stage in the Empire, and I have never heard of anyone named Ryan."

Including the old man holding the blue crystal ball, several other Dawn Wizards who had never seen Ryan looked at each other with astonishment.

"Haha!" Hiram ended his speech with a chuckle and stopped talking immediately.

Just when the Sword Master Tirion was about to act as a peacemaker, suddenly, a messenger reported at the door of the tent.

"Report! Urgent news from the Imperial Capital!"

"Go in!" Tirion frowned. He had instructed before that no one should disturb him unless it was an important matter. Obviously, the messenger would not be unaware of the importance of the matter.

"My Lord, just yesterday, eight incarnations of gods descended on Tamriel in the Dragun Empire to prevent Emperor Carlos II from ascending to demigod status. A fierce battle broke out between them and the Empire. Although the gods were eventually repelled, the Empire suffered heavy casualties and Emperor Carlos II died!"

"what!"

Upon hearing the news, the powerful men from the Federation present all stood up with their eyes widened and their mouths slightly opened.

Because this news is so shocking! "Everyone, it seems that we must speed up the progress."

"The situation is several times worse than we imagined!"

"Today, the evil god can descend on the Dragun Empire, so one day in the future, he will most likely descend on the Federation. Then, what can we use to resist him?" Sword Saint Tirion said with a solemn face after looking around.

"I agree with His Majesty Hiram's opinion. Contact the Empire and seek joint exploration to take control of the floating city as soon as possible!"

"I agree too! If Lord Ryan can join, I think the exploration progress will be greatly improved." Hernandez nodded and said.

Tamriel, the seat of the Bishu School of Constructivism.

After comforting his family, Ryan first looked up some information about the Full Moon Wizard, and then came to the secret room of the school again.

After such a tragic battle with so many casualties, Ryan felt a sense of urgency and urgency.

The intensification of the evil god's revival has put the empire on the verge of collapse.

Ryan first tried to outline the fifth level model of the 'Heart of Steel' advanced meditation method again. Soon, he was delighted to find that his progress had greatly improved.

On his first attempt, he directly increased the progress by thirty-three runes, reaching four hundred and forty-five will runes.

"The degree of spiritual power quality has been perfected, and the improvement of advanced meditation methods is indeed huge."

Half a day later.

Ryan has advanced the progress to 479 pieces, which is not too far from the final goal of 512 pieces.

"I estimate that in another ten days or half a month, I will be able to complete the outline of the fifth-layer model."

"However, I have to find a place that is safe enough to be promoted."

There is a key link in the promotion of demigod, which is that it takes some time to complete the process of shaping the quasi-godhood. For Ryan, it is the process of the formation of the "Heart of Steel" in the spiritual sea.

Ryan is not sure now whether the system will help him complete this step directly.

It would be best if it could be completed instantly, but if...
"But even the palace is not safe, so where is the right place?" Ryan frowned and thought.

At this moment, suddenly, the communication mark on Ryan's chest flashed.

"Huh? A high-level meeting of the Empire?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said after sensing it slightly.

Half an hour later.

Inside the palace conference hall.

The Dragun Empire is holding its first high-level meeting after the Battle of the Imperial Capital, and the one presiding over the meeting is the Red Queen Menia.

It was Ryan's first time to attend a meeting of this level, and the content discussed at the meeting was also important intelligence at the level of the entire empire.

"After we transferred most of the Imperial Guardians back to the Imperial Capital two days ago, these provinces, such as Vaz Province, Nome Province, and many other provinces, have experienced multiple bloodbaths involving more than a thousand people, and the casualties among the people have been heavy."

"The Black Flame Cult, the Limb-Grafting Cult, the Secret Snake Cult and other cults are very active. We need to immediately deploy manpower to contain them. Otherwise, the situation will get worse," said Marshal Alfred.

"But this time, in the battle of the imperial capital, four imperial guardians were killed, more than eighty-two knights of the nine-headed death griffins and five-colored dragons fell, and four hundred and thirty-two palace guards were destroyed. Thirty-two thousand and thirty-three houses were destroyed."

"If we want to stabilize the situation in the empire now, I'm afraid it won't be an easy task." An old man from the military said in a deep voice.

After hearing this number, Ryan was silent for a while!
This battle not only caused the empire to lose the courageous and resolute Emperor Carlos II, but also brought heavy casualties and losses to the empire.
"Everyone, think about this matter, is there any good solution?" Menia, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly and said.

"Well, should we consider cooperating with one of the evil gods so that he will cause dissatisfaction among the other evil gods, thereby triggering internal strife among them?" At this time, an old man in aristocratic hunting clothes suggested.

"No! The essence of cooperating with the evil god is to make the people, or some of the people, believe in him. Not to mention that these people will be gradually distorted by the will of the evil god, it will be difficult for the empire to explain to the Goddess Church alone." An imperial guardian immediately objected.

"Not only will this cause the long-established tacit understanding between the Empire and the Goddess Church to fall apart, but the loss of faith will further slow down the recovery of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddesses."

“I think it’s worth considering. At present, when the goddess has not yet revived, it will be difficult for our Dragun Empire alone to maintain the current turbulent situation.” Another noble old man with slicked back hair said in a deep voice.

"You may not know this yet, but the empire is in tatters. Tax revenue has dropped by 30%, and a large amount of farmland has been abandoned due to frequent cult activities. This situation is even more serious in remote areas."

The Home Secretary's words caused many people present to frown.

Although the Guardians of the Empire have already taken great steps on the road to transcendence, ordinary people are the cornerstone of the Empire's existence. Without a large population, it is impossible to breed a large number of extraordinary beings.

Soon, several people spoke in succession. Some were important officials of the empire, some were guardians of the empire, or royal elders, but most of them had different opinions.

For a moment, the scene was divided into two factions, but the supporters of each faction had their own reasons.

At this time, after thinking for a moment, Elder Ivan suddenly asked Ryan:

"Your Majesty, what is your opinion on this issue?"

Hearing Elder Ivan's question, the other imperial guardians, the heads of various imperial departments, and even the eldest princess Reinara all looked at Ryan.

Only then did they realize that His Majesty Ryan, who had shined in the battle of the Imperial Capital, had not spoken the whole time.

Because although Ryan is very young, his strength was fully demonstrated in the battle of the imperial capital. Another point is that His Majesty Ryan seems to have the trust of His Highness Menia.

"Everyone, this is my first time attending a high-level meeting. Originally, I wanted to talk less and listen more."

"However, since Elder Ivan asked me to speak, I would like to ask everyone a question, that is, the origin of the righteous gods, such as the origin of the monsoon and ocean goddesses. Does anyone know?"

When people heard Ryan's question, many were confused.

After all, the question Ryan asked seemed to have nothing to do with the question they had discussed before.

"It seems that the origin of this is no longer traceable, but according to the scattered records in ancient books and the origins of most recorded gods, the Monsoon and Ocean Goddesses should have originated from a powerful human female long ago and gradually rose through the ranks."

In response to this question, Walkermas thought for a moment and then answered.

"I admire your Majesty's profound knowledge. I only learned about it yesterday when I was reading ancient books." Ryan nodded slightly to Walkermas and said.

"Your Majesty Ryan, what do you mean?" Elder Ivan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly opened and he asked.
