Fanatics of the Magic Academy

The 15th Gu Long vs. Luo Racecourse:

"Although no one knows what happened in that battle, I did observe powerful fluctuations in time and space at that time."

I suspect it was a tactic used by that sixth-tier ancient dragon to perish together with it. Ancient dragons have a social custom of burying their bodies on that sky city after they die.

The flesh and blood of the ancient dragons themselves possess immense power; in fact, the first ancient dragon achieved transcendence by fusing with just a drop of blood, leading its followers onto a completely new path.

So heaven knows how much lightning and spacetime power from the ancient dragons' bodies had accumulated in that sky city during the hundreds of thousands of years that the ancient dragons ruled this world.

Finally, perhaps driven to desperation by Generation 14, Gu Long unleashed the power of the Sky City, tearing apart spacetime and creating temporal turbulence, deciding to test his resistance to time and space against Generation 14.

However, even at the sixth level, the power of spacetime was difficult to control, and in the end, the ancient dragon also went too far and was swept into the spacetime turbulence.

Ultimately, the ancient dragon came to your world and captured your soul.

Rose fell silent for a moment. Did that mean his original world was doomed?

The fifteenth Gu Long seemed to sense Luo Sai's worries and said:

"You don't need to worry about your original world. From what I observed in your dream, that ancient dragon was almost dead."

If left unattended, they will almost certainly die.

Luo Sai let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked the question that concerned him most:

"Can I still go back?"

The fifteenth ruler stroked his chin, pondering:

"It's not impossible to go back. If you can reach the sixth rank in the future and master a portion of the power of space, the probability of going back is about one in ten to the power of twenty-three?"

That's almost on par with Poincaré's return!

Rose thought about it. He was also an orphan in his previous life, so there was no need for him to go back.

Then, Rose looked at the fifteenth and said:

"So, what was the purpose of inviting me here and talking for so long about the struggles of Gu Long's followers?"

Who exactly are you? Why did you choose me as your follower?

The fifteenth said:

"Let me answer your questions one by one, young man. First and foremost, I exist."

"I am the fifteenth generation of Gu Long. When the fourteenth generation attacked Sky City, they made me stay behind to guard the house."

As a result, no one, including myself, could have imagined that they wouldn't come back.

Most of the remaining Ancient Dragon followers were at the third tier, with me being the only fifth. Those at the fourth tier and above had mostly gone to Sky City.

Killing all the ancient dragons is the highest belief of the ancient dragon cultists.

Even the fourteenth generation couldn't stop them; even if they were stopped, they would secretly follow, so they simply took them along.

"Then, naturally, the Ancient Dragon followers, having lost most of their elites, disintegrated."

Furthermore, because we had previously wiped out almost all the alien beasts, the ancient dragon's belief in "slaughtering alien races" lost its foundation.

Moreover, we had not completely resolved the issue of deities at that time; deities still existed in this world.

The reason is simple: our sphere of influence does not include the entire world, allowing us to launch a large-scale expedition to slaughter alien beasts.

But after killing the god, we must absorb the remaining people as our population.

Because if they are not accepted, they will eventually convert to a new god in order to survive.

"Therefore, roughly 300 years after the fourteenth generation stormed the Sky City, almost all the gods of this world united."

They attacked us when we were at our weakest.

Rose could understand that Gu Long's followers regarded "liberating thought and killing gods" as a fundamental policy.

Furthermore, their faith is inherently severing ties with the divine, creating an irreconcilable conflict.

But a question arose in Rose's mind, and she said:

"And what about you? Why did you transform into a god?"

The fifteenth generation said:

"I transformed into a god to protect the remaining followers of the ancient dragons, willingly placing myself beneath all humanity."

Rose could understand His words because, under the ideology of "human supremacy," humans are superior to gods.

But he quickly realized what he was doing and asked:

"Logically speaking, the ancient dragon faith has no basis for deities. Even if you become a god, you have no foundation for faith."

Did you become a god through personality cult? And even if you became a god, you might not be stronger than you were in life, right?

The fifteenth generation said:

"Indeed, most of the gods in this world are not as powerful as me unless they sacrifice more than a million people. But there are just too many of them, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves. I alone cannot protect the remaining ancient dragon followers."

"What I did was actually quite simple. First, I used my identity as 'Ancient Dragon' to steal a portion of the faith of Ancient Dragon's followers."

Then he abandoned his physical body and transformed into a god, becoming the god of the Ancient Dragon followers.

In reality, my existence is extremely unstable, and no one within the Gu Long followers believes in me.

I barely survive on their obedience and trust in me, which they have protected for 300 years.

Then I initiated the blood sacrifice with my own flesh, because the blood sacrifice of the gods requires a highly relevant catalyst, and what could be more relevant than one's own flesh?

Then, using this as a pretext, they sacrificed all the ancient dragon corpses in the ancient dragon cultist's warehouse, launching a blood sacrifice of the highest scale.

A divine spell that covers the entire world. The effect of the spell is very simple: it distorts the fear of the ancient dragon cultists in the entire world into worship for 0.5 seconds.

Because fear is an emotion that is relatively close to worship, and given that this divine magic is strongly connected to my own experience...

Then, the divine spell was successfully activated.

The instant the divine spell was successfully cast, I chose to commit suicide.

Rose frowned more and more as he listened. He couldn't understand what kind of operation this was and it seemed like a complete mess.

The fifteenth generation said:

"Do you remember what I said before? Gods are also a special kind of beings, except that they only have faith."

The conditions for the birth of a god are also very simple: five believers must worship the same image.

Gods are unique.

And when a god dies, his believers will die.

Rose paused for a moment, and suddenly a terrible thought came to mind.

He continued:

"In a sense, gods are also believers, except that they only have faith."

The reason they are now eliminating the ancient dragon followers is simple: their fear of them.

They fear that the followers of Gu Long might return to their former glory and continue to kill them.

And the effects of my divine spell also included them, and then, in that 0.5 seconds, they simultaneously developed a worship of the Ancient Dragon Followers.

This kind of worship should give rise to a new deity, but even if they are deities, it does not change the fact that they are a special kind of believer.

Then, because of the uniqueness of the gods, I emerged from their thought patterns and became a god above all gods.

Wait, buddy?!

Rose's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Then, in that 0.5 seconds, I chose to commit suicide again. The god that believers worship dies, and believers will inevitably step into death as well."

Therefore, almost all the gods in this world died with me, and with their death, all their believers whose bodies had become alienated also died.

For a very long time to come, they will have almost no fertile ground to be born.

And so, that era ended with the absence of gods, and the existence of only ancient dragon worshippers.

Rose quickly accepted and processed this shocking and devastating fact.

However, at that moment, another explosive idea popped into Rose's mind.

He had a question before: how could the other party, being a god, exist stably? Now it seems...

Looking at Luo Sai's expression, Gu Long was somewhat surprised by his quick acceptance, then nodded and said:

"Just as you think, I only killed them temporarily. When people believe in them, they will still come out of people's minds again."

But 20,000 years after my death, all the gods in this world were suppressed by magicians.

They lived in utter humiliation; they yearned for salvation, and this longing for deliverance gave birth to deities.

And then there is the uniqueness of the gods.

As a deity once above all gods, twenty thousand years later, I have once again emerged from the thoughts of the gods.
