Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

However, this red comet did indeed play a crucial role in the future. If the twilight had not been forged from the core of this red comet, Viserys would not have been able to destroy the Black Stone even if he had defeated the Night King, let alone suppress him, thus achieving a delicate balance between the red comet and the Black Stone.

Mortal things cannot harm the divine?

Rahlo's words startled Viserys slightly, and then his expression changed subtly.

He once saw the long-standing feud between the Storm God and the Gray Sea King through the skull of a raven. The Storm God gave the Gray Sea King a weapon that could kill gods, and it was with this weapon that the Gray Sea King killed the sea dragon Naga, who was causing havoc in the Sunset Sea, and then obtained the fire seed of the sea dragon Naga to become the Drowning God.

So, does that mean that black stone was also a product of the divine level?

Therefore, even the hardest substance in the world cannot harm the other party?

"The main difference between divine objects and mortal objects lies in divine power. Apart from special materials like the Red Comet and the Black Stone, it has little to do with their original material. Even a blade of grass or a flower is the same."

You'll find out in the future.

Lahlro did not explain the issue clearly, only giving a vague answer.

Since Viserys has already joined the game of the gods, he will understand the rules of the game in the future, so there is no need to explain it to him so clearly now.

Viserys' expression gradually calmed down after hearing what Rahlo said.

Although many questions arose in his mind, the other party did not want to talk about them, so it would be useless even if he asked them.

Now that he's come this far, he'll understand sooner or later.

"Then there's one last important question left," Viserys asked after a moment's thought.

"This is where?"

"You're only asking where this is now?"

Upon hearing Viserys's words, Rahlo spoke calmly.

Viserys didn't ask any further questions; in fact, he didn't want to answer. Unconsciously, a hint of anxiety crept into Rahlo's expression.

Logically speaking, as one of the gods in the heavens, he has lived for eight thousand years and should have developed a humble and unassuming character, after all, he has survived for so many years.

However, Rahlo seemed to have some hidden ailment and did not tell Viserys directly. But this was his private matter and there was no need to tell Viserys. In fact, Viserys did not notice anything amiss.

"This...is the realm of the gods."

Then Rahlo stomped his foot, and the scene beneath his feet instantly changed dramatically.

Viserys, following the movement of his opponent, looked down at the ground, his eyes, burning with icy flames, suddenly narrowed slightly.

For beneath their feet lay a colossal planet, a tapestry of blue and green, a world of ice and fire.

Viserys stood in the dark universe, looking down at the planet beneath his feet. He saw Westeros, even the Wall, and his own location, where the soaring blue pillar of light connected to Asgard.

The power of the black stone permeated the divine realm, and the gods, unable to resist it, retreated one after another, thus bringing about the long night.

However, now, the Black Stone has not been destroyed but only suppressed. It can still connect to the divine realm, but the seasons and the length of day and night in the whole world have become normal.

Because Viserys, through manual means, helped this world of ice and fire achieve a balance of power.

If Viserys's plan is correct, the seasons in the world of ice and fire will become more normal in the future. It is currently September, the beginning of autumn, followed by a cold winter, and then the normal cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The alternation of day and night will also no longer be chaotic.

"This is?"

Viserys was somewhat horrified when he saw this scene. He hadn't expected that the image of the swaying, snow-covered trees was just an illusion, and that they were actually in the sky.

"The Realm of the Gods".

"All beings that transcend the mundane will eventually have their souls here."

The slight anxiety that had been etched on Rahlo's brow had vanished, and he spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"And what about these?"

Viserys then turned his gaze to the colors that filled the sky and the world beneath his feet.

As far as Viserys could see, the north of Westeros was a deep darkness, where the Old Gods resided, and further north lay the power of the Black Stone.

The south of Westeros was shrouded in a milky white light, but although the light was strong, there was no prominent leader. It did not seem like a no-man's-land, but rather that its master had disappeared.

Where did the Seven Gods go?

Viserys then looked toward the Sunset Sea, where a powerful force of azure tides rose in the sky.

"The Drowning God".

Viserys recognized the many gods of Westeros at a glance, and then turned his gaze to the continent of Essos.

As he looked out, he saw that the vast land was shrouded in red clouds. The Red God Cult was deeply rooted in the continent of Essos, and Rahlo's faith was spread throughout the world. However, the Red God Cult was also mixed with some other messy faiths.

These were countless gods, both large and small, and Viserys understood slightly upon seeing them.

No wonder Miracis once told him that the gods were of varying quality, and that there was a difference between powerful and weak gods.

Because these minor deities scattered across the continent of Essos are not even as powerful as Viserys, who has just become a god.

Some have even lost all their incense offerings, becoming almost invisible, with only their last remaining life swaying in the wind.

Chapter 900 Underground Flame Demon

"The Realm of Gods is the last pure land that exists independently of the world."

"The gods rarely fight each other directly, because we are the guardians of this world."

Seeing that Viserys remained silent for a long time, Rahlo finally spoke.

"Guardians of the world?"

Viserys knew nothing about this realm of the gods at this moment, so all his knowledge came from the red god before him.

Rahlo, aware of Viserys's doubts, spoke frankly about them.

"We protect all living beings in this world from the covetousness of alien gods from the heavens, and also from the invasion of the fire demons from the earth."

Rahlo then didn't hide anything and recounted everything in detail, after all, this was the purpose of his trip to welcome Viserys.

The Realm of Gods is built upon the gods of the entire world. They are the embodiment of the world's will and primarily resist the erosion from two directions: one from beyond the heavens and the other from beneath the earth.

As the leader of the realm of gods and the leader of all the gods in the heavens, Rahlo should not have personally come to greet a junior who had just shed his mortal body and become a god.

However, Viserys' path to godhood was very special. Unlike other gods, he had already accumulated enough power before becoming a god, but he lacked the divine fire to burn.

Therefore, after becoming a god, Viserys leaped to the upper-middle rank among the gods of the realm of gods, and his divine power was even comparable to some old gods who had been gods for thousands of years, such as the Drowned God and the Black Goat God.

Although Viserys doesn't yet fully understand how to use divine power and can't exert much of it, it's only a matter of time.

Therefore, as a newly joined deity with extraordinary combat power, Viserys' existence cannot be ignored.

He had just left his physical body and arrived in the realm of the gods when Rahlo, the leader of the gods, stepped over and personally came to him to win him over.

"The world faces threats from two directions, one from outer space and the other from underground?"

Viserys, after hearing Rahlo reveal his purpose, fell into a moment of contemplation before asking a question in return.

He already knew about these things in the mortal realm. The inexplicable attacks from the outer universe were called the Void and the Other Gods, and the Nameless Black Stone was a representative of them.

These black rocks are meteorites that travel through the universe. Occasionally, over thousands or tens of thousands of years, meteorites with unique magnetic fields will streak across this planet and fall to earth, bringing disaster to the world.

One of the duties of the gods in the realm of the gods is to intercept these attacks that come from nowhere in the universe and prevent these black stones from falling to the mortal world.

However, defending against attacks from outer space is not the primary responsibility of the realm of gods. The most important responsibility of these gods above the earth is actually to defend against attacks from the underground world.

Beneath the surface lies another world, a paradise for subterranean fire demons. Numerous fire-related monsters inhabit this underground world because they thrive in its high-temperature environment.

These fire demons from the underground world are not gods, but they possess power comparable to gods, mainly due to the terrifying bodies created by the harsh environment of the underground world.

These subterranean fire demons need strong bodies to survive in such harsh environments, while the giant dragons that are the predators at the top of the pyramid in the surface world are actually one of the subterranean creatures, forged from blood and fire.

However, dragons are merely a weak race compared to the giant balora in the underground world. Some balora even prey on dragons, hunting them specifically, tearing off their scales, stripping them clean, and then cooking them with lava before eating them.

For thousands of years, the gods on the surface have been working to stop the invasion of the underground fire demons. The world seems peaceful, and few people have heard of the underground world, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

The gods tacitly instructed their followers to erase all information about the underworld, including all related news such as the Valyrian catastrophe, to prevent the tragedy of Valyria from repeating itself.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for a great empire that had dominated the world for thousands of years to collapse overnight without leaving any legacy, or even knowing very little about its intelligence documents, leaving it like a mystery.

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that someone deliberately erased the secrets of Valyrian Freehold, causing them to be forgotten by the world.

Who in the entire world possesses such power to completely erase the existence of the Valyrian Freehold? Braavos? Volantis? Or perhaps the Iron Throne?

If you think about it carefully, you'll understand that none of these city-states and nations have this ability; only the gods in the heavens possess it.

Their followers, through the pervasive influence of their religious collective embedded in human social systems, were able to erase Valyria's existence, leaving it a shrouded mystery.

The reason why the gods of the surface joined forces to erase all traces of Valyria's existence is quite simple.

The legend was not false; the regime of the Ancient Valyrian Freehold had indeed threatened the safety of the divine realm.

They possessed the power to challenge the gods, and for other reasons, the gods in heaven felt uneasy, which led them to collectively erase it from the world.

However, as Rahlo just said, the gap between mortals and gods is like a chasm. No matter how powerful a mortal is, even the world's top assassin or magician, they cannot harm a god protected by divine power.

How could the wizards of the ancient Freehold have made the gods feel uneasy?

Viserys raised his question, and Rahlo patiently explained.

"Although you have Valyrian blood, you don't need to care, after all, the physical body is just an illusion."

Rahlo was actually a Gløynar who lived by the river Løn, but there weren't many Løynar who worshipped him; the Løynar had their own gods.

Furthermore, after Azor Ahai became the Red God and shed his physical body, he no longer considered himself a Rhoynar, but rather Rahlor, the Lord of Light.

However, the Valyrian Freehold has now been destroyed, and the newly emerging Valyrian Empire, apart from sharing the same name, has no real connection to the Valyrian Empire.

The emerging Valyrian Empire was neither free nor fortified.

Furthermore, the system is not the same as the system of electing kings among the forty families, and even most of the territory is different. Rahlo does not think that Viserys still cherishes his homeland.

Chapter 901 War of the Gods

Therefore, R'hllor did not regard Viserys as one of the Valyrian gods, but as a native god of Westeros, and thus began to explain.

It turns out that in the distant past, some dragons escaped the seal set up by the gods and came to the surface world.

Because the dragon was far too weak compared to the Fiery Demon, it was not affected by the seal and managed to escape to the surface world. Later, the gods reinforced the seal to prevent more subterranean creatures from coming to the surface.

However, the dragons that had escaped from the underground world settled on the paths leading from the underworld to the surface. They lived in many places on the surface world at the same time, including the Fourteen Fire Peaks on the Valyrian Peninsula, the Shadowlands beyond Asshal, and the islands in the Jade Sea.

There is no doubt that dragons still retain some of the preferences of the underground world; they like to live in volcanoes.
