The Growth of a God

Chapter 348 God of Civilization? God of Dictatorship!
The battle between Meng Ji and Cui Weng did not last long.

In just one encounter, Cui Weng's body was blown to pieces, and it never appeared again.

However, Meng Ji knew very well that Cui Weng would not die so easily. The other party had just chosen to retreat temporarily.

"Let's go!"

After taking the sniper rifle back into his own dimension, Meng Ji nonchalantly patted Xiao Hei at his feet.

Hearing this, the well-behaved and obedient Xiao Hei immediately flapped his wings and flew towards the Tree of Life again.

This time, Xiao Hei obviously learned from his previous lessons and was always alert to changes in his surroundings while flying.

Unfortunately, Cui Weng did not show up.

Together with the other demigods in this world, they all seemed to intentionally avoid the places where Meng Ji and Xiao Hei passed.

With no one trying to stop them, it only took Xiao Hei and Meng Ji a few days to reach the roots of the Tree of Life.

Then, Meng Ji saw the evil dragon entrenched at the roots of the Tree of Life at a glance.

Just like all the twisted creatures in this world, the evil dragon also had an indescribable twisted posture.

However, it is this strange distortion that gives people the feeling that "it is a dragon".

The sensory dislocation brought about by this harmony and disharmony, symmetry and asymmetry can even make people want to vomit.

"Ovo."

Standing quietly above Xiao Hei's head, Meng Ji slowly spoke out the name of the evil dragon.

As if it had heard Meng Ji's voice, the evil dragon that had been lurking at the roots of the Tree of Life suddenly raised its head, revealing its twisted, hideous face.

"Meng Ji!"

A low roar resounded across the earth like thunder.

The moment Owo saw Meng Ji, his expression suddenly became complicated.

Surprise, anger, nostalgia, regret, pity, and also a little bit of relief...

To be honest, it was really hard for Meng Ji to imagine that one day he would be able to see so many emotions from such a twisted and hideous face.

"It seems that you are still not very skilled. The memories of your real body and fake body are not interconnected!"

I don’t know why, although theoretically this should be the first time I met Ovo, Meng Ji couldn’t help but smile.

It's like chatting with an old friend I've known for years.

There was a sense of ease mixed with a hint of calmness, which made Meng Ji feel a little melancholy.

"It's not that I'm not good enough..."

After a brief silence, Ovo spoke again without the complicated emotions he had before. Instead, he was relieved to meet an old friend again.

"I just think that when we meet again, it would be better if it is more pure."

"Friends are friends, and enemies are enemies. This is what you once taught me."

"You and I were friends in the past, but now you and I are enemies."

“You just have to keep that in mind.”

Now it was Meng Ji's turn to be silent, because the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.

She originally thought that Owo would play some emotional cards, or tell her the difficulties of betraying her.

But Ovo, who had transformed into an evil dragon, seemed to have made his position clear long ago and did not dwell too much on what had happened in the past.

"That's quite my style."

After smiling again, Meng Ji continued to ask, which was uncharacteristically true.

"But I still want to know, why did you choose to betray me in the first place?"

"Not as an enemy, but as a friend, and I want to know why."

He exhaled deeply, and saw the roots around Ovo tremble at the right time, and then strengthened the seal on him. "There's no complicated reason. I just don't want to die."

"A twisted life like mine, born from the curse of the Pale Lord, is destined to not live long."

"But you made me realize how wonderful life is, and you also made me realize that there are so many interesting things in this world..."

"So I don't want to die. I want to continue living, even immortal like you."

After a slight pause, Ovo raised his head again, his eyes full of determination and arrogance.

"Cui Weng told me that the Fruit of Life can fulfill my goal and make me a truly immortal god!"

"I know it's trying to drive a wedge between you and me, but I did it anyway."

"Because I am different from those stupid, selfish demigods. I know that your ultimate goal is to save the world..."

"Once you learn of the prophecy of the Emerald Lord, you will definitely not let me eat the Fruit of Life."

It can only be said that due to the lack of information, the demigods led by Cui Weng did not realize Meng Ji's identity at all at the time, but unilaterally regarded her as the "evil dragon" in the prophecy.

This led to a series of bad consequences and indirectly contributed to the fulfillment of the prophecy.

"I see!"

Listening to Owo's story, Meng Ji shook his head without comment.

"You don't have to betray me."

"If you tell me directly, I have other ways to keep you alive."

As soon as these words came out, Ovo's eyes widened.

After all, having been with Meng Ji for such a long time, Ovo could naturally tell whether the other party was lying or not.

But precisely because he could tell that the other party was telling the truth, Ovo looked somewhat stunned and incredulous at this moment.

"You mean... I'm asking for it now!?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Meng Ji nodded affirmatively.

"That's right. Your current fate is purely your own fault."

"Also, even if I knew the prophecy in advance, I would not necessarily allow the Fruit of Life to hatch."

Under Ovo's surprised gaze, Meng Ji expressed his usual philosophy and style of doing things.

"I don't have a good impression of that six-winged seraph Raphael."

"Perhaps his arrival did bring civilization to this world..."

“But it was His coming that caused the world to fall apart.”

"If Raphael was really as kind as the myths and legends say, the conflict with the Pale Lord wouldn't have escalated."

When Meng Ji said this, his reference standard was the creator of his own world.

Although she had lost her memory of the Mountain and Sea Realm, she still felt that true kindness was not as uncompromising as Raphael's.

Besides, is the civilization that Raphael brought really the civilization that the world needs?
"I don't know what kind of civilization Raphael brought to this world..."

"But I know that the civilization brought by Raphael must not conform to the laws of this world."

"Otherwise, this world wouldn't have failed to produce its own 'God of Civilization' since Raphael's arrival."

"Civilization is the cradle of gods!"

"Every unique civilization must have its own unique gods."

"Raphael is just a dictatorial god who plunders faith in the name of 'civilization'."
