Chapter 450 Goodbye to the Boss Lady (Third Update)

Once the world truly began to stabilize, all the original spirits who had not yet left were forced to integrate into this world.

Aside from beings as powerful as Akatosh and Rokhan, who can maintain their infinity, most Primal Spirits can only sustain their existence through continuous reproduction, reincarnation, and rebirth.

Akatosh, enraged by Magnus's escape, bit off a piece of his flesh as Magnus was about to leave. This piece of flesh transformed into Merunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince who nearly destroyed the continent of Tamriel in history.

Because of the escape of Magnus and the other Daedras, although the creation of the world was successful, it could not maintain stability indefinitely.

So Akatosh led the Idras to judge Lokhan, who had deceived them, at the White Gold Tower. They tore Lokhan's body in two, turning it into two moons, and extracted his heart, sealing it within the Red Mountain of the Morrowind Continent.

Then, along with the remaining seven Idras, they transformed into eight planets orbiting Nirn.

This is what allowed Nirn to truly remain stable over time and no longer encounter problems.

In the future, mortals, based on their own preferences, created different character consciousnesses for the eight Idras of Akatosh, which became the eight great holy spirits we know today.

Talos was a mortal who became a god, and is not among the eight Edra who created the world.

Of course, there is a lot of controversy about the eight Holy Spirits. Whether it is eight, seven, or six, there is no accurate answer.

Just like Akai, the god of life and death, funerals and graves, as recorded in the book "Akai, the God of Life and Death," he was originally just a mortal. Because he was obsessed with pursuing the way of life and death, he prayed to the Holy Spirit Mara when he was about to die, hoping to have more time to study. In the end, he was sublimated into a god.

However, some say that these are actually just the incarnations of the Holy Spirits in the mortal world.

Of course, none of this mattered to Li Chuan; the most important thing was that he understood one thing.

That is, the Holy Spirits like Akatosh cannot directly have much influence on Nirn. At most, they can convey some commands and bestow some blessings to the believers through the altar.

They cannot actually descend to this world in their true form; they must be reincarnated to do so.

Unless there is some event that actually destroys Nirn, they generally don't easily reincarnate into the mortal realm, so there must be some restrictions that he is unaware of.

As for those demon gods, namely the Deidara who fled with Magnus, they could have actually descended to Nien in their true forms.

However, this is no longer possible. Compared to the Holy Spirits, they can exert a greater influence on Nien Star, since their origins have never been damaged.

As for why the demon god could not descend to Nien in his true form, some books offer explanations for this.

It seems that Akatosh was worried that the Daedric Lords who liked to treat Nirn as a game might one day go mad and disrupt the stability of the entire world, so he set up the Dragonfire Barrier to isolate the Daedric Lords' Annihilation Plane from Nirn.

Each Holy Spirit has their own domain, which allows the souls of mortals who believe in them to enter after death.

The same applies to every demon god, except that the realm of a demon god is called the Annihilation Dimension.

This reminded Li Chuan of his Tsukuyomi world, which could be considered a basic dimensional world, but it was still far from being comparable to those holy spirits and demon gods.

With the Dragonfire Barrier in place, the Demon God could not leave his Annihilation Plane in his true form to wreak havoc on the mortal planet Nirn.

However, this is not without its flaws.

In historical records, the Daedric Prince Merunes Dagon, who was in charge of destruction, change, revolution, energy, and ambition, once descended upon the planet Nirn in his true form and nearly dragged the entirety of Tamriel into his Oblivion plane.

This story begins in the First Age.

After the Dawn Era came the Elf Era, and after the Elf Era came the First Era. Now, Li Chuan is in the fourth era of this world.

To ensure the effectiveness of the Dragonfire Barrier, Akatosh linked it to the bloodline of the Dragonborn Emperor, namely Empress Alesia, the first emperor of the empire in history.

As long as the Dragonborn bloodline continues, the Dragonfire Barrier will always protect Nirn from the threat of the Demon God.

It was only then that Li Chuan realized that the source of his dragon bloodline was Akatosh, not Talos.

I read in a book that most of the ancient Nords could shout dragons, and Talos, this human who became a god, was even more powerful in shouting dragons.

Therefore, he believed that his dragon bloodline was related to Talos, the human who became a god.

As time progressed to the Third Age, the royal family of Tamriel, all of the dragonborn bloodline, were assassinated by cultists who worshipped Dagon, and all perished.

No one can wear the Kings' Amulet bestowed by Akatosh and open the Dragonfire Barrier.

Taking advantage of the situation, the demon Dagon opened the Gates of Oblivion throughout Tamriel and personally led a large number of demon warriors and mages to invade Tamriel.

How could mortals possibly be a match for demons and gods? The war was essentially one-sided.

Later, a man named Martin appeared, claiming to be the emperor's illegitimate son and also possessing dragon blood. He transformed into an avatar of the time dragon god Akatosh and banished the demon god Dagon and his demon race back to the Annihilation Plane.

He also sacrificed himself, transforming into a statue to permanently fix the dragonfire barrier, preventing the demons from ever descending upon Nirn in their true forms again.

So as long as Li Chuan doesn't act recklessly or destroy the world, he doesn't actually need to worry about confronting those powerful holy spirits and demons.

He might not be able to defeat those demons who have their own planes of existence right now, but since it's just a projection of some of their power, he feels it shouldn't be a big problem.

In other words, he no longer needs to deliberately hide his strength. He can fly when he needs to and teleport when he needs to, without worrying about being noticed.

That morning, just as Li Chuan left the mare banner and arrived at the gate of Longlin Fort, intending to continue reading inside...

A woman dressed in armor, wearing a cloak and with her face covered, walked out of the gate and brushed past him.

"Hey, isn't that Delphine, the owner of the Sleeping Inn? What's she doing here, and why is she being so mysterious?"

Although the woman was wearing a cloak and her face was covered, Li Chuan's eyes could see through to the soul. No matter if you were wearing a cloak or even if you used magic to change your appearance, he could still recognize you instantly.

The journey from Riverwood to Whiterun is not something an innkeeper can easily make, especially given the ongoing dragon crisis.

Delphine, the proprietress, is indeed no ordinary person.

"Never mind, it's none of my business anyway."

After a pause, Li Chuan did not reveal the proprietress's identity, but instead pushed open the door and walked into Longlin Fort.
