Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 253 The Twin Gods' Allegiance, Early Stages of Imperial Reform
“Evelynia and Beckett greet you all.”

The gods of fate, the twin gods, suddenly spoke.

The mixture of male and female voices creates a rather mystical effect.

In terms of appearance, these two also have a very unique style.

The two deities merged, each possessing half of the divine body.

The younger sister has silver hair like a cascading galaxy, while the older brother has golden hair like flowing molten gold.

The younger sister wore a semi-transparent starry long dress, while the older brother was clad in dark gold scale armor.

The two, whose hands were not fused, held a crystal staff and a flaming greatsword respectively.

Behind it are intertwined sun and moon halos, appearing in the dark sea of ​​stars. It must be said that in terms of imagery, it truly has the unique style of a deity.

As they spoke, their bodies slowly separated.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of the gods and Linko, the two chief gods appeared.

"The weak deities of the grid-like world?"

Kukudar uttered a sound in a daze.

"Indeed, Your Excellency, you caused quite a bit of trouble for our world while you were asleep."

The elder brother of the twin gods smiled faintly.

There was absolutely no trace of bitterness or deep resentment on their part as the aggrieved party.

"Hmm, so what? You all followed me here, what do you want?"

Kukudar's vertical pupils revealed displeasure, even a wary expression.

Although He was not afraid of these two, He was worried that they might use their words to change Lin Ke's attitude towards Him.

Well, it's highly unlikely that this will happen.

However, Kukudar is currently in a state of anxiety and uncertainty, so it is inevitable that he will remain cautious.

The older brother remained silent.

Instead, it was Evelyn, the sister of the Twin Gods, who spoke up:

"Please do not misunderstand, sir."

"Of course, it is undeniable that you have caused considerable trouble for our world."

"But now that you have left, the mortals of our world will soon be able to reproduce again."

"Therefore, my siblings and I did not come here for you."

Having said that, the twin goddess Evelinia turned her gaze to the terrifying fiery dragon.

“We siblings have come here to join your kingdom, the noble ancient deity, the noble God of Space and Sun, guided by fate.”

Evelyn got straight to the point.

This scene surprised Lin Ke slightly.

"Join?"

Considering the situations Adelaide had previously mentioned regarding these two individuals, Link seemed thoughtful.

"So, from the very beginning, you two siblings foresaw Kukudar's arrival, and even the interference of the Star Empire?"

Lin Ke examined the two bent-over figures and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the twin gods exchanged a smile.

"Your Excellency, it seems you also have a misunderstanding about the power of fate."

"Although my brother and I do possess the power of destiny when we work together, the destiny we can foresee is limited."

“My brother and I actually foresaw this long ago when we first began to grasp the laws of fate.”

"Our world is about to face a major crisis, but what that crisis will be, we didn't know from the beginning."

"But it's enough to be aware of the crisis."

Under Lin Ke's watchful gaze, after his sister finished speaking, the brother earnestly continued:
"Therefore, in order to find a way to resolve the crisis, my brother and I have been trying our best to understand more about the power of the laws of fate and to seek the revelation of fate to solve this problem."

"But the laws of fate are so mysterious and vast, not to mention those that involve fate beyond this world."

"In order to help you understand the power of fate."

"To put it another way, if we consider a world as a cocoon woven by fate, then the vast star realm beyond that world is an even larger cocoon of fate."

"Neither my brother nor I can completely control the entire world's fate cocoon at present, let alone before, when we even interfered with the fate cocoon of the astral plane."

"Therefore, at the beginning and for a long time, my brother and I were unable to find any way or receive any revelation from the astral laws of destiny."

"But in retrospect, perhaps the laws of fate are more favorable to my brother and me."

At this point, Beckett's face lit up with joy.

"About five or six hundred years ago, my brother and I finally received a revelation from our destiny."

“Fate has revealed to us that at a point in the warp, there are two souls that can bring hope to our world.”

"Therefore, there is no need for my brother and I to explain further. I believe Your Excellency will already know the reason for all of this."

Lin Ke could accept this explanation.

After all, the upper limit of the laws that lower-level gods, those who have not broken through the Star God boundary, can control is ultimately 'planetary level'.

And Lin Ke's current situation.

If we really have to talk about power levels, He is probably a star-level being.

In other words, Linco does indeed have the ability to interfere with or even destroy an entire star system in a short period of time, but this destruction does not include the Sun.

As for what level comes after Star God, neither Lin Ke nor the actual game has been able to make a clear classification so far.

"I understand now."

"So, you've really thought it through, wanting to join the nation's power under my protection?"

"You must understand that everything comes at a price."

To be honest, Lin Ke never expected things to develop this way.

The entire Star Empire, including Him, didn't even have time to exert its full power before everything was over.
The twins looked at each other, then looked seriously at Lin Ke.

“The revelations of fate always come at a price.”

"Moreover, I think you, esteemed sir, should also know why we made this choice."

"However, please believe that my brother and I truly wish to join your cause."

"After all, my siblings and I, while not exactly brilliant, are not stupid either, and we have already considered the pros and cons."

Having said all that, what else could Lin Ke say?

Indeed, anyone with a modicum of common sense should know that since the Star Empire has intervened in this matter, whether they are willing or not is actually irrelevant.

Therefore, it's better to avoid things ending up unpleasant or even terrible.

It would be better to surrender willingly.

This approach is definitely the wisest one.

Lin Ke even had a premonition.

The brother and sister did not give a complete explanation of their reasons.

The power of fate is so mysterious.

To take a recent example, consider one of the weaker deities of the insectoids, who managed to find the coordinates of Earth using only a little precognitive power.

Therefore, Link has reason to suspect that these two see greater benefits in the Star Empire.

Otherwise, they would act with the usual arrogant demeanor of most gods.

Even knowing they are no match for external enemies, these deities are often still very likely to resist extraterrestrial civilizations to the very end.

However, whatever these two are up to, it doesn't matter.

Because, going forward, the invasion of the rules of the real game can completely disrupt many plans that are unfavorable to the Star Empire.

Therefore, since they have chosen to submit...

So whether they're hoping to find shelter under a big tree or have other motives, it doesn't matter.

Lin Ke is absolutely confident in this regard.

Not to mention, the Star Empire now also has the giant serpent god Kukudar.

Therefore, Lin Ke seemed to have been examining both of them for quite a while.

Finally, Lin Ke spoke.

"Since you siblings have made this decision..."

"Then I will grant your request."

"As for what comes next, I think you, as deities of destiny, should know what I will do to your world first, right?"

Upon hearing this, the twin gods showed no emotion; they simply bowed calmly and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty." "Next, my siblings and I will actively cooperate with you to transfer the authority of the World Mana Will."

Lin Ke looked at both of them and finally nodded.

"it is good!"

"Since that's the case, then so be it!"

------

Above the starry sea.

When the gods saw Linco carrying the giant serpent god Kukudar across space to the Grid World with the twin gods, their feelings were incredibly complex.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of our collective mobilization this time?"

"Just to pay homage to the Dragon God? Or even the might of the Giant Serpent God?"

"A minotaur deity said helplessly."

"It's already pretty good that it can be like this."

"There's always a reward without any risk, and the more of that, the better."

"It's better than fighting to the death, which would waste a lot of divine power."

There is a way for gods to reap the benefits without sowing.

That's true.

"But compared to the Dragon God and that giant serpent god, what are we?"

"Are we really gods?"

"He became exactly like one of those ordinary, lowly soldiers in the mortal world."

"To be honest, I'm feeling a bit discouraged now."

"What Black Flame Crisis, what divine dignity? In the eyes of the Dragon God, we are not even much better than mortal children. So, I've been thinking about what we're striving to cultivate for."

The deity was greatly discouraged, and the entire deity appeared somewhat out of sorts.

"for what?"

"Does immortality count? Does living an easier life than mortals count?"

"Okay, don't think about it."

"We have already received more than enough by becoming gods."

"As for whether it is necessary to continue to work hard, different gods have different choices, it depends on what kind of god you want to become."

"To put it another way, among the mortals favored by the gods, there are quite a few mortals who 'lie flat'."

"But what is the reason that mortals can lie down and do nothing?"

"Naturally, it's because of the Dragon God, us, and the protection of the Star Empire."

"Without these protections, lying down would naturally become a futile endeavor!"

"But this kind of complacency comes at a price; after all, what happens in the event of a crisis or war?"

have to say.

The fact that the gods collectively slacked off again this time was a blow to their morale.

After all, the last Scarlet World War was just like that.

Once, twice, every time, it inevitably makes them doubt the value of their own existence.

After all, they are gods.

They all have their own pride.

If we let them play minor roles like extras every time, there will definitely be problems.

As gods, they are not afraid to do things for people.

But the fear is that you won't be able to accomplish anything and will end up like a lackey.

for this matter.

The Seven Gods players also noticed it immediately.

But even if you know, there's nothing you can do.

After all, this happened too suddenly.

Who could have predicted the plot would unfold like this!

Therefore, the seven gods gathered together and quickly began a discussion.

"This can't go on."

“The Crimson World once, the Grid World once, the gods did nothing, they were just a burden.”

"It's not that the absence of casualties isn't something to be happy about."

"But this greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the gods! It even led to feelings of frustration and a sense of complacency."

“It’s one thing for mortals to act like this, but if gods act like this too, I really don’t dare to imagine what the future of the empire will be like.”

"The chief's presence is too strong!"

"It's not that the chief is bad, but if the chief does this every time, the future development of our civilization will definitely be greatly affected."

"I think, perhaps we should suggest that we try to let the chief relinquish some control!"

Insomnia and Rain spoke earnestly.

"Let go? How do I let go?"

"Is the chief meant to watch the gods die in battle, and even countless mortals perish?"

"Then wait until there's no other way before taking action?"

Does doing this really make sense?

It wasn't Tea Master who raised the objection!

"It's meaningful! And very meaningful!"

"For a civilization to develop, it needs external factors or even threats to drive it."

"Furthermore, if the chief always takes action, then what are we? Infants constantly protected in swaddling clothes by our fathers and mothers?"

"This can't go on!"

"Furthermore, the Chief is a deity after all! How can he always do things that are like a babysitter?"

"You've watched plenty of movies and TV shows, haven't you? Do you know what it means that the main character often appears last?"

"Unless absolutely necessary, I think we must never let the chief make a move so easily again!"

"Unless there is something that can truly threaten the empire's survival, we must be more hard-hearted in any future wars with other civilizations!"

"Enjoying everything without putting in the effort! Ordinary people might think it's great! But a lack of a sense of crisis, or even hedonism, will only lead the entire civilization down a downward spiral!"

"Therefore, now, let me say something unpleasant!"

"If there is no suffering, then create suffering! Even if there is no hardship, we will make the mortals of the Star Empire know the cruelty of reality!"

"As for the gods, with the divine kingdom and the will of Mana backing them up, they are not so easy to kill."

"Moreover, for gods, dying a few times is not necessarily a bad thing."

"In short, we just need to tell everyone one thing: whatever it is, you have to fight for it yourself!"

"The 'lying down' mentality must be completely eradicated!"

"For example, in terms of welfare and promotion channels, and even some restrictions on daily life, in short, we must get all the mortals in the empire, including the gods, mobilized!"

The logical genius spoke seriously!
"Wow, logic, you're really ruthless!"

"Do you really want to do this?"

"It's just an ordinary person," he said earnestly.

"We must do it!"

"We must mobilize the entire empire!"

"We must also clearly tell all citizens of the empire that the empire will continue to expand its civilization battlefield!"

"If you don't want to die, then work hard to improve yourself!"

"Otherwise, if you die on the battlefield, you deserve it!"

"The empire does not support useless people!"

At this moment, even Cheng Ge, who was taking off, became serious for once!

In short, after experiencing the emotional feedback from the gods, the seven gods also realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, they are now planning to adopt harsh imperial policies!
It is foreseeable that soon all the mortals and even gods of the entire Star Empire will have something to do.
