Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 167 Gods' Restrictions, On the Eve of the Troll Fleet's Attack on the Island

Within the space of consciousness, Lin Ke seemed to be in a higher dimension.

He looked down at the series of mirror-like screens in front of him, watching the roars of war in Warcraft and the urgent cries of knights rushing through villages and towns.

Unconsciously, a non-human, godlike realization gradually rose from the bottom of his heart.

His spiritual elevation has transcended the realm of ordinary life, and this scene, which seems to overlook countless living beings fighting for him, unconsciously condenses a kind of 'divine' way of thinking and ideas.

The insignificance of life, and one's own 'greatness'.

Everything seemed so real.

"Perhaps those at the pinnacle of power in reality have similar feelings?"

"Looking at the whole world, countless ordinary people are busy shuttling between different cities like horses. I wonder what the mindset of those in power is."

"Whether it's to create a better living environment for the people, or to pursue different things to satisfy one's own selfish desires, it all depends on a single thought."

And isn't Lin Ke's current conquest of the Calter Continent using the power of the Auckland Continent the same thing?

Lin Ke now has the power of choice.

Whether or not to eat beef is just a matter of a single thought.

However, compared to everything in the mortal world, or everything in reality.

Lin Ke doesn't pay much attention to anymore.

His current goal is to achieve the immense, moon-like power of the Space Dragon in the CG.

In fact, if he could, he wouldn't actively interfere with anything in reality.

The main strategy is to use the game world as their base and gradually expand their influence.

It does not seek fame in a world of countless civilizations, but rather aims to be at least capable of dealing with the crisis of the 'Black Flame' on the continent of Auckland.

However, to resolve the 'Black Flame' crisis, the achievements of the Space Dragon alone are far from sufficient.

And this might be where the power of real games comes in.

By anchoring themselves in different worlds step by step, using slogans of conquering or rescuing countless lives from suffering, they can gain more room for growth.

Lin Ke already had a clear understanding of this point.

At present, Lin Ke's primary problem is to take over the world of Calter, otherwise, anything can happen.

Now, with the power of a Saint-level being, and even with the power of the entire Auckland continent, Lin Ke's power in this world is clearly sufficient.

At least, without the intervention of the gods, Lin Ke's own exaggerated strength is sufficient.

No Saint-level being could possibly be his match.
Faced with the risk that the gods might descend at great cost, Lin Ke currently has two solutions.

First, the snowball effect is fast enough that once he reaches the Saint rank, he will have the power to contend with even gods.

Secondly, in this mysterious spiritual space, the God of Truth and Knowledge, who is getting closer and closer to him, would be a great helper for Lin Ke if he could be resurrected.

As for the threat posed by the god of truth and knowledge, that can be completely disregarded.

No matter the reason, the god of truth and knowledge cannot be his enemy; this does not require deep thought.

With all this in mind, Lin Ke was naturally filled with anticipation for the upcoming offensive and defensive war on the Cartel continent.

Going against the tide, let me see all the tricks the Troll Empire has up its sleeve!

------

Meanwhile, just as Link was preparing to launch a new campaign against the trolls of the Cartel world, a massive troll fleet that had set sail for the seas finally approached their destination five days later.

Above the troll fleet, aboard the airships, numerous high-ranking trolls were traversing the high skies in different directions.

At a certain moment, after all the high-ranking trolls returned to a flagship airship.

One of the trolls immediately spoke up with delight:

"After being out for so long, I finally found it!!! Haha."

"The human survivor base is about 120 nautical miles east of our fleet, and the island is almost the same size as the island we were told about."

"Although it looks ordinary, the giant silver tree on the island gave them away."

Upon hearing the troll's words, the other trolls also beamed with joy.

"Good! Very good, that's really not easy."

“Our base on the mainland has been destroyed. It would be terrible if we didn’t recover some of our losses from these human survivors.”

This troll is a classic example of someone who brings up the very thing that shouldn't be brought up.

The trolls present all looked rather grim upon hearing that mainland cities had been destroyed.

In the silence, one of the trolls couldn't help but speak up:

"It's really incomprehensible. The world is already under the control of the imperial gods, so why is there another world's power that can penetrate the rules of the planet's surface and open a spatial portal in the mortal world first?"

"I wonder what the gods of the empire are doing all day long. Now, the empire is probably facing the dilemma of fighting on two fronts."

Facing the gods of the troll empire, the high-ranking trolls clearly had few verbal taboos and truly said whatever they thought.

"This is indeed a bit unbelievable."

“Even if the gods of the empire don’t have complete control over the rules of the current world, they should at least have some room to maneuver.” “Manipulating the rules of the world, in theory, no alien civilization should be able to open a portal to teleportation within a planet. Even if they have locked onto this world, they should be able to open the portal in the astral plane.”

"First came the war of the gods, then the war of the mortals; this is practically a fundamental rule of a world with gods."

"As a result, our empire's gods are still alive, yet the rules of this world seem to be undefended, easily broken by the enemy, leading to this large-scale invasion war by alien races."

"Just thinking about this gives me a headache."

Trolls also began to complain about this, and they were now truly dissatisfied with the imperial gods.

"Alright, everyone, save your breath."

"Complaining about these things is definitely useless at the moment. All we can do now is see how the Empire plans to remedy the situation."

"However, based on the information we have received so far, the situation is not too bad."

"After all, the war in the mortal realm has been going on for quite some time, and so far the gods of the Empire in the astral realm have not detected any signs of divine invasion from this alien civilization."

"This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"From this perspective, it's very likely that the opposing civilization's gods aren't too strong or too numerous."

"They are wary of the number and strength of the imperial gods, but they may not want to give up the world we have finally found."

"If that's the case, perhaps the current war in the mortal realm is just a preliminary test!"

"It's possible that the gods of both sides will have to fight a battle in the mortal world to determine the victor."

"Knowing full well that they might not be able to defeat our Empire's gods in the Astral Plane, they still thought of challenging our gods within the constraints of the rules of the mortal world. Such courage and ambition are truly admirable."

"However, they are being a bit too arrogant. Even if no new god has been born in this world in our empire, there should be quite a few beings in this world who have reached the demigod realm."

“Once these otherworldly gods and demigods descend upon this world, the suppression of their rules will be the strongest. Our demigods, on the other hand, are protected by the rules of this world. Even if their strength is suppressed as ‘gods,’ their power in the mortal world will definitely not be weaker than those unknown otherworldly gods.”

"Therefore, these otherworldly deities are destined to be unable to defeat the gods of our empire."

The troll who spoke at this moment carefully analyzed the situation and finally came to a conclusion that greatly boosted everyone's morale.

The Empire still holds a dominant position in the world's power, and the ambitions of the otherworldly civilization will inevitably fail.

However, some trolls scoffed at what this troll said.

"What you can think of, otherworldly gods can't?"

"At least the other side is a civilization that can circumvent the rules of the world and open spatial portals within the world."

"Even if the other party is weaker than the gods of the empire, they must have their own unique strengths."

"In the astral plane, there are countless races and civilizations. Who can be sure that all the gods of these civilizations are unable to escape the direct suppression of the world's rules?"

Faced with the troll's questioning, the previous troll immediately snorted.

"You have no idea what gods are."

"According to the astrological analysis of the gods at the Imperial Theological Seminary."

"In a world with mana magic, any god will inevitably be suppressed by the world's rules after entering other civilizations."

"Unless a god's power far surpasses the power of the rules governing an entire world, violently destroying the will of Planet Mana."

"But if such a thing were to happen, a living planet would no longer be alive."

"The planet's fundamental rule, 'Will,' has fallen, the star's core has cooled, and all things have perished. What good would it do to conquer such a world?"

"Regarding the will of Mana, there can't be much difference between the various worlds in the entire astral plane. After all, planetary worlds are within a larger world, and all living things and the survival of planets will naturally have an inevitable commonality."

"As for active planetary worlds without mana magic, such worlds exist, but according to the gods of the theological seminary, the beings in these worlds would be extremely weak, and conquering them would not be of much use."

"Aside from adding a little unnecessary low-level labor to the empire, it does absolutely nothing to benefit the development of the empire as a whole."

This troll knows quite a lot; he's clearly well-read.

This left the other troll speechless.

At that very moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the flagship.

The trolls present immediately straightened their expressions and solemnly bowed to the troll.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Consul."

The troll governor coldly observed the high-ranking trolls before him.

He nodded indifferently.
"Enough with the nonsense. Because of the changes on the mainland, and now that we have found our destination, I will no longer hide my whereabouts."

"Next, you will follow me directly to that survivor's stronghold. I think that dealing with a mere down-and-out Saint-level professional should be a smooth and easy battle."

"Let's fight quickly!"

"You all get ready!"

As soon as the troll governor finished speaking, the high-ranking trolls immediately responded.

"Subordinates take orders."
