Chapter 657 Jiang Chen's Belief, the Water God Continues to Sleep
His voice was tinged with sadness, as was his tone.
Jiang Chen kept looking into the water goddess's eyes as she spoke.
Her eyes were filled with memories as she spoke of her comrades who had died in battle before her eyes, and how she was powerless to stop it.
The water god's eyes were filled with tears, and he was heartbroken.
Jiang Chen empathized; although he hadn't experienced it himself, he could imagine the feeling.
Unbeknownst to him, the Water God pulled himself out of his memories, the moisture in his eyes disappeared, and his charming smile returned. "How was it? Were you feeling a little desperate?" "Even at the level of a god, it's still nothing."
"The enemy is so powerful that we are not even close to their origins."
"Whether they are wild beasts or insects, in my view they are nothing more than the vanguard of the enemy."
You could tell the water god was somewhat disheartened.
After all, he had finally reached the level of a god, and was the leader of the water element gods.
As a result, he was crippled before the battle even began.
Until the end of the great war, they had never even seen what the enemy really looked like; all they had seen were some monsters.
Perhaps to the enemies behind the scenes, these wild beasts and insects are just cannon fodder, but to them, they are already a catastrophe.
It was precisely for this reason that the few remaining gods and powerful humans after the great war made a pact to bury it in history and never mention it again. If the world were to find out, it would be a catastrophic blow to their beliefs.
It will make most people lose hope, and make them feel that no matter how hard they try, it is useless. Even if they become a god, they will only end up fighting as cannon fodder for the enemy.
Coupled with the depletion of the world's power and the slumber of the world's will, this world seems to have lost all hope.
Jiang Chen could understand the thoughts of those surviving strong individuals; there were indeed some things that shouldn't be said aloud.
However, he was confident in himself and showed no signs of discouragement, because he had seen even stronger opponents.
In the vast universe, even the most invincible powerhouse vanished before the Azure Dragon Elder.
Looking back now, this battle seems like nothing more than children playing house.
Jiang Chen was confident that as long as he was strong enough, his enemies could be annihilated in the blink of an eye. Seeing the unwavering conviction in Jiang Chen's eyes, the Water God seemed relieved.
Jiang Chen sensed that the Water God's aura was becoming increasingly unstable. "You should continue to sleep."
The water god shook his head. "I don't want to sleep anymore. I want to take advantage of the last bit of time I have to go outside and see the world."
Jiang Chen said, "There will be plenty of time to watch it in the future."
The Water God looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of curiosity, "Even I think there's no hope, so why do you still have confidence?"
Jiang Chen's tone was certain, "Hope definitely exists. I was once in dire straits, but I was saved by the sages of the human race. The sages who saved me have been dead for thousands of years, but their will still remains, and their will to protect humanity has never been extinguished by time."
"I have seen skills left over from the previous era. The previous era had resurrection skills, but I don't know if they would be useful to you."
“I have seen a projection of the God of Life, and she said that hope is always there.”
“I have also seen even more terrifying beings. Wild beasts can be destroyed with a flick of their fingers in the eyes of those beings.”
Jiang Chen said a lot.
With the water god's intelligence, he naturally understood this method of persuasion that was neither quite persuasion nor not persuasion.
The water goddess looked at Jiang Chen with her beautiful big eyes and suddenly laughed out loud, "You are very special."
"Little one, I'll listen to you and continue sleeping."
"Perhaps one day in the future, you can heal my wounds and awaken me again."
Jiang Chen was equally serious, and slowly said, "I will do it."
Amidst the water god's melodious laughter, the enormous ice sculpture reappeared, enveloping the water god within it, and the water god once again fell into a deep sleep, transforming into a sleeping beauty. The water god's aura stabilized once more as she slept.
In this state, even if her injuries cannot be fully recovered, their severity can be greatly reduced.
It shouldn't be a problem to delay it for at least another thousand years.
"In the future, it won't just be a chance, it will be a certainty!"
Jiang Chen said this silently in his heart.
Large amounts of water are still flowing into the water god's territory, transforming into pure water elements.
The water element is absorbed by the sleeping water god, which can further delay the time.
Jiang Chen left the Water God Palace and the Azure Dragon Sea.
Standing in the void, his gaze pierced through the void, sweeping across the entire lower space.
He confirmed his guess with the water god.
Indeed, a large number of gods were buried and slumbering in the lower space.
The great battle initially broke out in deep space and continued all the way down to the lower levels.
The rules of the ancient battlefield have been broken, and even god-level powerhouses can continue to fight in the lower space.
A large number of gods and human god-level professionals perished here.
Many gods also chose to slumber here after the great battle.
The lower realm is the birthplace of many gods, and now it has become their final resting place.
Perhaps during these many years of slumber, some deities have passed away and this place has become their burial ground.
"The Meteor Continent is the homeland of the Star God. The Star God did not die, but is sleeping there."
"The Wind God and the Thunder God are asleep on the Wind and Thunder Continent. The Thunder God is dead, and the fate of the Wind God is unknown."
"The whereabouts of the God of Fire and the God of Light are unknown; their whereabouts are unknown."
"The elemental dungeons were a backup plan left by several gods at the beginning of the great war, and also their last hope."
"The whereabouts of many deities after their fall are unknown."
Jiang Chen had sorted out his thoughts and fully understood what had happened back then.
It was that great war that plunged the world into silence.
Their era shouldn't have been so weak. Even if it was difficult for superhumans to be born, there shouldn't have been none at all.
It won't be like it is now, where half a step into godhood is all it takes.
They would not be bullied by abyssal demons and mixed-blood dragons, nor would they have nearly caused the extinction of the human race.
Ultimately, the reason lies in that great war and those foreign invaders.
Ironically, they didn't even know the intruder's true identity.
The traces of the invaders are still visible in the desolate wasteland, the world inhabited by wild beasts. Even the god-level powerhouses of the human race know of this place, but none dare to go there.
Wild beasts can only be killed by using the power of laws.
During the great war, the higher gods created a large number of weapons with the power of laws for the use of the lower and middle gods.
This allows them to kill ordinary wild beasts as well.
However, things are different now. Gods have vanished, and human professionals are pitifully weak.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh at this.
I never expected that after searching for so long, this would be the answer.
What would be a devastating blow to others, Jiang Chen was instead filled with burning fighting spirit.
He became even more determined to become stronger and would never let a similar tragedy happen again.
Jiang Chen activated the mark of the Divine Dragon Ancient City and teleported back to the Divine Dragon Ancient City.
Among all humans, he is the only one who possesses the mark of the Divine Dragon Ancient City, allowing him to return to the Divine Dragon Ancient City at any time in the lower space.
Of course, the ancient city imprint cannot be used anywhere; if the space is blocked, it will also become invalid.
This is a contest of power levels. Jiang Chen only possesses a mark, which grants him some minor privileges.
Jiang Chen was well aware that he had only gained the initial recognition of the Divine Dragon Ancient City. If he wanted to gain further recognition from the Divine Dragon Ancient City, or even completely control it, he still had a long way to go.
The Ancient City of the Divine Dragon is very powerful. If one could fully control it, it might be comparable to a god.
However, the difficulty was too high, and Jiang Chen had no confidence at all.
Upon returning to Shenlong Ancient City, Jiang Chen heard a somewhat noisy commotion.
The voice was somewhat disordered, and there was also panic in it. Jiang Chen was puzzled, noticing that there were quite a few professionals standing in the ancient city square.
Everyone's attention seemed to be drawn to him, and his appearance went unnoticed by anyone.
Jiang Chen saw that the Ancient Thunder Tower had risen from the ground and was even taller than when it was activated last time.
The sky suddenly brightened, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
A thick bolt of lightning struck down, landing squarely on the tip of the Ancient Thunder Tower.
Then, lightning spread down from the top of the tower, enveloping the entire Ancient Thunder Tower.
All nearby professionals were repelled, and a 50-meter radius around Gureta became a restricted area, making it difficult to approach.
Lightning bolts fell one after another, and thunder roared incessantly.
The lightning grew increasingly intense, transforming the area around the Ancient Thunder Tower into a sea of lightning. This sea of lightning swept in with immense pressure, overwhelming most of the professionals who couldn't withstand it and letting out muffled groans.
Many professionals are unable to stay in the air and fall quickly.
Jiang Chen met Feng Yiming, one of the few professionals who was still able to fly.
Jiang Chen came to his side. "Commander Feng, what happened?"
