Above all spirits

Chapter 173 The Illusory Dream of the Emperor

Gu Yun frowned slightly.

Werner's suggestion undoubtedly placed a considerable burden on him.

But Gu Yun still maintained an objective perspective.

He was sending a telepathic message to it in his mind.

"It shouldn't be related to Eve."

"Although I knew from Dai Ling that the Goddess of Life Eve was the World Tree that spanned the two dimensions, I knew that she must be a God-King level powerhouse."

"After all, if one is not a God-King, it is impossible to defy the rules. If one cannot defy the rules, how can one leave a branch of the World Tree in the lower realm?"

"But in theory, God-Kings no longer need the consciousness of rules. The reason why Celestial Gods need it is that they want to use it as a trigger to master the power of rules, thereby advancing to the God-King level."

"The probability of the Goddess of Life intervening in the mortal realm is not high."

"Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that she was assisting the Nature Gods in order to increase their strength."

"Well, let's just deal with whatever comes our way."

"I'm not going to back down anyway."

at the same time.

Dailing continued to recount information about the elven royal family.

"As for the divine incarnation you mentioned, I don't know anything about it, but judging from the literal meaning, it seems somewhat similar to the chosen ones among the elven royal family."

"I'm not sure if you're referring to the chosen ones."

“The chosen ones are those who are favored by a certain god and can inherit almost all of that god’s abilities. In exchange, the chosen ones’ mission is to find and condense the legendary imperial will and offer it to the god.”

"Although most of the chosen ones are born into elven royalty, there are also a few exceptionally talented elves who are not royalty, so this information is not top secret."

"I wonder if the divine incarnation you are referring to is the one favored by the gods."

Gu Yun was overjoyed. Just for this reason alone, the trip was worthwhile. He nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, that's it."

"But from what you're saying, if one condenses the Emperor's Will and offers it to the gods, the bestowed power will not be taken back?"

Dai Ling didn't know why Gu Yun had doubts about this, so she could only speak objectively.

"At least that's what's circulating among the elves."

"Therefore, everyone is eager to become one of the chosen ones."

"After all, the Emperor's will is too much to ask of them, too far away, while the favor and gifts of the gods are tangible things right before their eyes, and can also enhance their status within the clan."

Gu Yun understood.

It seems that not all gods reclaim their powers at the end.

From this perspective alone, the nature gods are indeed more humane and farsighted than ordinary gods.

The ordinary gods that Gu Yun was referring to were naturally the bird-people race from whom he first learned about the concept of "divine incarnation".

Although he did not know what the gods needed to give for the incarnation of a deity.

He looked at how Li Tianshen had looked back then.

It was undoubtedly a cautious move.

and so.

There will definitely be a price to pay.

but.

If the Emperor's will is truly fulfilled.

You've already acquired the awareness of rules; you're about to advance to the God King level.

Are you still willing to pay such a small price?

It would be better to gain a good reputation and give some motivation to the other gods' favorites or incarnations in the clan.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun chuckled and continued to ask.

"What else do you know about those favored by the gods? This is very important to me."

Dai Ling frowned slightly.

Could it be that the person Gu Moshi is looking for is a chosen one of the gods?

But she only knew about those favored by the gods.

I don't know much about it.

Biting your lip.

It was as if I was waging a difficult battle against those long-dormant memories deep in my mind.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Gu Yun and the others did not disturb them and waited patiently.

at last.

A glimmer of inspiration flashed in her eyes.

He said slowly.

"As for the information about those favored by the gods, I, who am not of royal lineage, only know the most basic things, and there's probably nothing more to add. However, there are some things I can tell you, and I don't know if it will be helpful."

"Before I left the fairy realm, which was a few decades ago, I heard that the elven royal family had discovered a condition for the condensation of imperial will, and at that time it seemed that they were selecting suitable candidates within the clan."

Gu Yun's eyelids twitched; he had a bad feeling.

"Do you still remember what the imperial decree was?"

Because the names of the imperial will are basically based on its effects or highly representative characteristics.

"It seems...it seems...to call."

"magical..."

"Illusory Dream Imperial Will".

"Should be this."

Gu Yun took a deep breath; the thing he feared most had probably happened.

In fact, he had already guessed it.

No matter how easy-going or well-regarded the nature gods are, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

There's no need to be so accommodating to a creature from the lower realm.

I learned from Chi Xian'er that the Nature God Clan had been embroiled in a dispute over the matter of divine incarnations for a long time.

Regardless of what others do.

Gu Yun, anyway, belongs to the school of thought that human nature is inherently evil.

He didn't believe that the gods would care so much about the opinions of the beings in the lower realms unless some significant interests were involved.

Coercion, bribery, brainwashing, memory sealing, etc.

The powers and methods of the beings in the upper realm are too domineering.

If one truly values ​​the potential of a lower realm being and wishes to use it as an incarnation, there are simply too many ways to achieve this, no matter how unwilling the lower realm being may be.

and.

Never underestimate the impact of superior and inferior positions.

Gu Yun himself is a superior being.

Therefore, he saw things more clearly.

As far as the demons and gods of the upper realm are concerned.

to be honest.

Their relationship with the beings of the lower realms is similar to that between Earth's humans and other animals.

There are people who treat animals kindly.

But how many of these people are vegetarians?

These acts of kindness are relative.

Even if you were a complete stranger, you would still visit the grave to pay respects to the deceased every year.

Losing a dog, cat, or other animal that accompanied you through its entire life will only make you sad for a short time at first, but you will eventually find a replacement or gradually forget about it.

Of course, there are exceptions.

This is the effect of superior and inferior positions.

In this world, the suppression of rules makes things a little better, but it's not exactly ideal.

Like just now.

Soul searching is a vicious method that is almost always fatal to beings in the lower realms.

But Gu Yun subconsciously didn't consider these things too much.

He still holds this belief now.

If you can't have it, then search for its soul.

This was even when he was just an ordinary person.

For those born as demons and gods.

They will likely only become more indifferent.

Therefore, based on the information available now, there is only one situation in which the gods would be so accommodating.

That is.

The chosen one of the Nature Gods has fulfilled a crucial condition of the Dream Emperor's will.

Or it may be in a situation similar to Hongxiu, where the conditions for a certain stage of cohesion have been met.

Forcibly interfering with self-awareness may affect whether or not the final cohesion will be successful.

I had no choice but to offer kind advice.

As for whether this prepared chosen one is Yunyin.

Gu Yun wasn't 100% sure.

But there's probably an 80-90% chance.

Because Yunyin's condition is indeed related to dreams.

Gu Yun bowed slightly.

I extend my sincerest gratitude to Dai Ling.

Searching for souls is always a last resort; you might not be able to obtain the crucial information.

He also hoped that someone would tell him the truth.

"Thank you, this information is very important and meaningful to me."

"Just for this reason alone, I will definitely protect you and your daughter."

"I will find a way to get rid of the curse on you."

"I hope you can recall more relevant information and tell me whenever you need to."

Dai Ling could sense Gu Yun's sincerity and smiled lightly.

"You flatter me, Demon Envoy Gu. This is what I should do."
