I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Xu Xingyu coldly watched Chen Longao, who was terrified and fleeing with all his might, and then casually waved his hand, causing the Thousand Degrees Fire God behind him to dissipate at that moment.

Only the burning earth and trees, and the still intense heat, can prove that the fire giant once existed.

Xu Xingyu couldn't just leave the burning earth and forests unattended; no natural environment should be treated this way.

Xu Xingyu began to form hand seals. Water elements condensed with his movements, and the white clouds that were obscured by black smoke quickly turned gloomy. Then, the moment he completed the hand seals, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

A storm swept through the forest. Although the flames left by the God of Fire were still burning, the raindrops in this downpour were no ordinary raindrops.

The purity of the water element contained within it is comparable to the fire element of the Thousand Degrees Fire God that Xu Xingyu previously condensed.

About five or six minutes later, the flames left by the Thousand Degrees Fire God were completely extinguished, and Xu Xingyu stopped the heavy rain, allowing the sky to return to its original clear state.

After that, a green light separated from Xu Xingyu, and Buyer's figure reappeared. Xu Xingyu nodded to Buyer, knowing what she should do next.

Buyer looked at the trees and vegetation that had been destroyed by the war. Although this was not the Douluo Continent, she was still willing to contribute her strength to the plants here.

A large amount of wood element began to converge towards Buyer. She clenched her hands in a gesture similar to prayer, her emerald green eyes began to glow, and a warm and pure green energy emanated from her body, forming a green and white sanctuary.

This sanctuary-like domain slowly expanded outwards, and the land, trees, and vegetation covered by it began to regain their vitality.

Tiny new shoots sprouted from the scorched earth, the injured bark gradually healed, and branches and leaves began to grow back, as if nourished by new life.

The grass and trees on the ground gradually became lush and green, with vibrant light shimmering among the blades of grass.

After doing all this, Buyer smiled at Xu Xingyu and then transformed into a green light and merged into his body.

Seeing this miraculous sight, the forest spirits all knelt down and worshipped the newly appeared Buyer as the incarnation of the goddess of nature, and began to offer various prayers and supplications to her.

Ji Dong was relieved to see that the Forest Demons had recovered some of their strength. Even if Chen Long'ao still dared to lead the remaining members of the Extinction Legion of the Eastern Wood Empire, they had enough time to complete the migration of the Forest Demon race to the Monster Mountain Range.

Once the Forest Spirits successfully migrate to the Monster Mountain Range, the Extinction Legion and the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild will no longer be able to do anything to the Forest Spirit race. It should be noted that he had previously spoken with the Vermilion Bird, the ruler of the Monster Mountain Range, instructing him to take care of the Forest Spirits. In exchange, the Forest Spirits would have to properly care for the forests of the Monster Mountain Range and provide life-giving resources for healing.

What frustrated Ji Dong was that these forest spirits would always claim that any good thing was a gift from the goddess of nature. Although Ji Dong didn't like commenting on other people's beliefs, what was the point of worshipping a god who did nothing in crucial moments?!

"Since you call yourself a god, even if you don't expect to be omnipotent, you should at least take action to protect your followers! A god who does nothing has no reason to be believed in!"

"Sigh, Ji Dong, you must understand that even gods have their own difficulties." Xu Xingyu had appeared beside Ji Dong at some point, and Ji Dong only then realized that he had just spoken his inner thoughts aloud.

However, Xu Xingyu's words made Ji Dong frown. "Gods have difficulties? No matter how difficult things are, they should at least fulfill their duties as gods! Is there any point in a god existing if they can't even fulfill their duties?"

Since witnessing Xu Xingyu and Lieyan's transaction in the Earth's core, Ji Dong is no longer the clueless greenhorn who knows nothing about gods. He also knows that so-called gods are just people with greater strength.

But shouldn't they be even more committed to their duties?

Xu Xingyu could only shake her head and say, "Gods can only interfere with the development of the plane they inhabit after they have just become gods. After a year in the God Realm, they must ascend to the God Realm and can no longer interfere with the lower realms. This is the rule of the God Realm."

"Can't interfere with the lower realm? Why should we?" Ji Dong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Xingyu unconsciously looked up at the sky, and after a moment of silence, she spoke: "To answer this question, you must first know why gods are called gods?"

"I think you also know that the so-called gods are just people who are stronger. But why do these people dare to call themselves gods? This is because the so-called god-level is simply a power that the plane itself cannot suppress, and can even compete with the power of the plane's own laws."

"Such an existence is not a good thing for the plane, because the more powerful the god, the more powerful the law he controls. If a god interferes with the lower realm for a long time, he will not only take away the laws that are the same as his in the plane, but also destroy the plane's ability to maintain its ecology."

"There was once a god named Poseidon who was so powerful that he completely controlled the ocean of his plane. Even after he ascended to the realm of gods, the plane was still unable to regain control of the ocean. This caused the ecology of that plane to become somewhat out of control, and the plane's energy began to decline. Eventually, the plane became extremely weak, and it was only a matter of time before it became a dead star."

"Therefore, in order to prevent god-level powerhouses from causing irreparable damage to the plane, the unique space of the God Realm exists to contain and manage the gods. Only when a god-level crisis occurs in the lower realm will the powerhouses of the God Realm make an exception and descend to save the world's beings."

"This... But according to you, when the gods first became gods, they could still interfere with the mortal realm, right? Then why didn't the Goddess of Nature take measures to protect her followers before she left?"

After listening to Xu Xingyu's words, Ji Dong began to understand more about the God-level. However, he was still somewhat resistant to the inaction of the Goddess of Nature. In his opinion, as long as she made enough preparations before ascending to the God Realm, she could protect her people. Why would she be being hunted down because of the Source of Life?

Xu Xingyu simply responded, "And why do you think she didn't take any precautions?"

"well?"
