Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 200 Divine Kingdom Defense, Mana's Will Law.

"The path to stardom is already blocked; perhaps things aren't going too smoothly?"

Above the star realm, the projections of four deities stood on the planet's dome.

Meanwhile, their true forms sit high on their divine thrones within their respective divine realms, overlooking everything in the world through the power of Mana's will.

"It has indeed gone a little too smoothly."

"However, Mana's will has indeed marked that unknown being."

"The star gates within the mortal realm have been sealed off. With our powerful intervention through the will of Mana, no matter how much power the enemy has, they should no longer be able to open the star gates within the mortal realm smoothly."

"Of course, we should also keep an eye on things outside the astral plane."

The elephant-like deity spoke cautiously.

“The Astral Plane? We have been watching the entire world closely, and there is no way any living being could have bypassed the law barrier that covers our rules.”

"Since no living beings have come to the astral plane, they shouldn't be able to anchor our world's location."

The Heavenly Bull Deity spoke with a hint of uncertainty.

"That should be the case under normal circumstances."

"But I think you also have a general understanding of the situation in the other world."

"A mysterious game that grants ordinary beings extraordinary power to conquer different worlds—such an existence is simply unimaginable."

"Furthermore, the game even foresaw the situation in our world and used that as a basis to issue war missions to so-called 'players'."

"Furthermore, have you all considered how those players who suddenly appeared in our world actually arrived?"

"This method is simply incomprehensible."

"Therefore, I think it's time for us to clean up those 'players' who have appeared in our world."

"One is to extract more information, and the other is to find out as much as possible why the other party can ignore the rules and appear in our world."

The water beetle-like deity spoke in a stern tone.

The three insectoid deities around them nodded in agreement.

"We do need to figure out the reason. Otherwise, even if the 'Chief Player' can no longer appear in the mortal world, the continuous influx of players from that world will definitely cause unpredictable damage to our world."

"But the fact that these players can keep 'resurrecting' is a difficult problem to deal with."

"Resurrection? That would require the soul and spirit to remain intact."

"If physical destruction is not feasible, then let's try our best to imprison and capture their souls. I'd like to see if beings without souls and spirits can be resurrected intact."

have to say.

This insectoid deity accurately identified the players' weaknesses.

While real games may seem to allow for the infinite resurrection of players, this is all predicated on the player's soul successfully returning each time.

Of course, realistic games also have protective measures for the player's soul.

However, whether such measures can guarantee their escape from the hands of the gods remains to be seen.

Nothing in this world is perfect.

The biggest weakness of real games actually lies in the player's soul protection mechanism.

Once the soul protection mechanism is broken, it becomes extremely easy for players to die, whether in real life or in the game.

However, the four insectoid deities at present are not capable of doing such a thing.

After all, their own death was already imminent.

The projections of four insectoid deities gathered together, discussing how to deal with the players.

They were even considering how to enable the earthly insectoids to capture the souls of players immediately after killing them.

Finally, the four insectoid deities came up with a solution.

That is to use the souls of believers in the Kingdom of God, that is, the souls of those insect-man believers who ascended to the Kingdom of God after death, to create spiritual artifacts.

To contain spirituality with spirituality is the best thing of all.

However, just as the group was discussing the matter,

Suddenly, the elephant-headed deity abruptly turned its head to look at the void.

At that very moment, the pupils of the elephant-insect deity suddenly widened.

flame!!!

That was an endless stream of flames erupting from beyond the stars!

And this was accompanied by a massive influx of flames.

Suddenly, accompanied by a rhythmic movement in the space.

The next moment, a pair of enormous fiery dragon claws emerged from the void.

First came the two claws.

Then comes the head, body, and tail.

Amidst the raging flames.

The terrifyingly large object appeared in that instant.

Looking up at the sky from inside Green Saturn, one can already see the newly emerged second sun.

He is so great.

It was just as captivating.

Even though the four insectoid deities had anticipated that Linco might appear in the Astral Plane.

But they never imagined that they would be facing such a terrifying creature!
"How...how is this possible?!"

"Has His strength increased again? Or was He actually pretending to be weak from the very beginning?"

The expressions of the four insectoid deities gradually changed from shock to utter terror.

And that's the next moment.

A sudden shout rang out from among the four deities.

"Quickly!!! Close the gates of the divine kingdom tightly!"

"Furthermore, we must connect with the laws of the divine kingdom and simultaneously sink into the network of laws of Mana's will; otherwise, we will have no chance against Him!"

As the insectoid deity roared, the four divine projections gathered together vanished in an instant.

And in contrast to that.

Just outside the orbit of Green Saturn, four 'divine kingdoms' that resembled pyramids but were taller and more pointed than pyramids suddenly became ethereal.

The ethereal divine kingdom transformed into four beams of light that fell into the mortal world. In just a moment, they sank into the atmosphere above the mortal world, into the invisible network of laws constructed by Mana's will.

At the same time, the four divine kingdoms seemed to transform into four beams of starlight embedded in a spherical network.

The starlight shone brightly, extending into numerous beams of light that shot out and intertwined along the network of laws governing Mana's will. It must be said, Link's entrance was truly terrifying.

Such a massive flesh and blood body.

Even if the four insectoid deities manifested elemental divine bodies using the power of their divine essence, they could never achieve the enormous size of Lin Ke's flesh and blood body.

Therefore, Lin Ke appeared in an instant.

The four insectoid deities knew they were outmatched, so they immediately took the strongest defensive measures.

And at this moment.

Watching the spire transform into starlight and fall, eventually disappearing into the material world.

Lin Ke was also quite curious.

"Is this the Kingdom of God?"

"It's not simply a matter of a physical interface?"

Lin Ke thought of the ruins outside the Auckland continental astral plane.

A final laugh.

A demigod wants to become a god.

The first step is to ignite the divine fire.

This means igniting divinity and then merging it with the will of Mana, while simultaneously using the power of the will of Mana to condense a divine essence.

In this process, if the divine power is insufficient, or even if Mana's will rejects it, then the process of ascending to godhood will be interrupted, resulting in death and annihilation.

However, before that, there is an essential stage in the process of becoming a god.

That is, a demigod uses his personal power to create a demiplane.

The so-called creation of a demiplane actually means that after a demigod enters the astral plane, he must travel through the astral plane to find all the meteorites and asteroids outside the astral plane.

Then, by combining and piecing together these extraterrestrial materials, a 'floating island' suspended in the sky can be created.

Of course, simply combining and piecing together meteorites and asteroids is not enough.

In this process, the demigods also need to use their divine power to guide these floating islands from the sky into planetary orbit.

Then, it is submerged into the network of rules of Mana's will.

At the same time, these 'floating islands' are localized by the dual power of individual divinity and the will of Mana.

And this step is crucial.

The so-called ascension to godhood by lifting up the divine kingdom is the process by which Mana's will completely 'ecologize' these floating islands during the ascension process.

The Kingdom of God is also a small world.

It exists in relation to the main world, and everything it needs is provided by the rules of Mana's will.

Light, atmosphere, everything—all require the will of Mana to provide.

For Mana's will to achieve this, then this demigod must be a true god.

As for why the divine kingdom is a necessary product of the gods.

In fact, considering many aspects, firstly, the floating islands formed by the divine kingdoms, and even as products of the rules themselves, can form a powerful and effective 'outpost' to protect the planet outside the astral plane, together with the law network of Mana's will.

When faced with threats from the stars, the gods and their kingdoms must naturally stand on the front lines.

Secondly, the divine kingdom is also a powerful base for the gods to protect themselves.

During the process of ascending to godhood and elevating the divine kingdom, the transformation and assimilation of the divine kingdom by Mana's will is one aspect, and in addition, the deity himself will also integrate a part of his divinity and divine personality into the divine kingdom.

Therefore, in the divine realm, the gods are almost all-powerful and their words are law.

Moreover, if a deity dies outside the divine realm, the deity can be resurrected in an instant by relying on the existing divine realm, provided that there is enough faith and divine power.

Therefore, just like in the world of Cald, the way to truly kill a god and prevent him from being resurrected for a short period of time is to both kill the god and destroy the divine kingdom.

Otherwise, the troll gods wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties when they attacked the world of Calth.

After all, to breach the divine kingdom is equivalent to entering the enemy's headquarters and being subject to the suppression of many laws.

Although this suppression is not as powerful as the will of Mana on a planet, the suppressive effect of different gods and different divine kingdoms is still quite considerable.

Therefore, a deity of weak divine power can be completely comparable to a deity of medium divine power within the divine realm.

Therefore, in wars between gods, if the cost is disregarded, using one's own divine kingdom to collide with the enemy's divine kingdom is the most effective means.

But the losses were also enormous.

Even if we win, it's like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, gods will live in peace unless they have deep-seated hatred for each other.

Of course, if a powerful deity wants to kill a less powerful one, then the situation is different.

However, in any case, within the divine realm, the gods naturally possess greater power.

The four insectoid deities currently appear to possess only weak divine power.

But let's not forget that there are only four gods in this world.

Therefore, even if they are weak, they are naturally favored by the will of the Mana in this world.

Therefore, when these four deities submerged their divine kingdoms into the network of laws of Mana's will, the support they received from the power of Mana's will was also the greatest.

However, these things are no longer a big deal for Lin Ke.

A weak god is still a weak god, even with the support of Mana's will.

First, their own strength and the power of their divine kingdom must be sufficient.

It's just like charging; a power bank only has so much capacity. Try charging it with high-voltage electricity.

Therefore, even if the four gods now submerge their divine kingdoms within the network of laws, the power support they can receive is at most reduced combat consumption, while also having a continuous and stable energy supply.

Lin Ke now possesses strength comparable to that of a mid-level deity.

Its own unorthodox physical constitution alone is enough to allow it to run rampant without restraint.

Not to mention, the will of Mana in this world is not entirely aligned with these four deities.

Although the erosion from the real game is only a little over 10%, at this moment, it's like a thousand-mile dike collapsing due to an ant hole—enough for Lin Ke to roam freely.

And so, it all happened in a single smile.

Lin Ke's eyes were already filled with spiritual power.

The divine kingdom that had disappeared into the material world, and the invisible network of Mana's will and laws, were now fully revealed to Linko.

The so-called network of rules of Mana's will is easy to understand; it's actually like a mesh bag for holding a basketball.

It densely covers the surface of the planet, completely enveloping it.
