Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 268 Forest Fairies, the Ancient Kin's Path to Godhood

"I never would have imagined that there would be a race called elves in a foreign land."

“Your Majesty, the aura of these elves is so similar to that of our fairy race, and even their abilities overlap with ours.”

"Of course, compared to our Forest Clan, these elves are physically weaker, and even their reproductive ability is not as good."

"But you must understand, these elves are not protected by our father god, nor by the ancient deity they speak of."

"And that's not the most crucial point."

"What surprised and shocked us the most was that these elves actually had mortal gods!"

"Yes, we mortals can also become gods!"

"He is a true god, not a false god, a false god who cannot ascend to the star realm."

"Our Forest Clan has a strong reproductive capacity and its strength can grow at an extremely fast pace, but this is both its strength and its downfall."

"Because of the Father God, or perhaps because we lack the power to connect with the will of the world, in the endless years, has any mortal in our world ever truly ascended to the divine level?"

In the royal court of the Forest Fairy Clan, at the top of several intertwined, ten-thousand-meter-tall trees, hundreds of fairy elders were gathered.

"God-level?"

The Fairy Queen's expression flickered.

She looked at the hundreds of fairy elders in the green hall and said calmly:
"I heard about this matter years ago, but the alien races of this so-called Star Empire said that to ascend to the divine level, one needs to ignite the divine fire and raise the divine kingdom in order to connect with the will of the world and become an immortal god."

"Divine fire is easy to understand, but divine kingdoms, I've heard, require going to the star realm to capture extraterrestrial dust to create them."

"But, I suppose the elders also know that, not to mention our race, even among the winged insect races, none of their demigods have ever been able to enter the Astral Plane."

"High in the endless heavens, there exists a great power that prevents all earthly beings from entering the astral plane."

"So, since this kind of thing can't be verified, how can we know they're not lying to us?"

At this point, the Fairy Queen glanced at the elders on both sides.

"Of course, I also know that since the elves entered our race, many elders and even members of our race have been very close to and have recognized them."

"After all, although our two races are from different worlds, we should both be children of the forest. We have similar auras and even similar abilities."

"But that's no reason for us to blindly trust these exotic elves."

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, the elders in the green hall began to discuss amongst themselves.

However, at that moment, an elder suddenly stood up and spoke to the Fairy Queen:

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult for us to enter the Astral Plane."

"Ok?"

The Fairy Queen looked at the Fairy Elder who had spoken, her expression indifferent, and gestured for him to continue.

The elder then looked at all the members of the elder council and said:
"You should all know that the power of our race's demigods, and even the demigods of other races, comes from the grace of their respective father gods."

"Therefore, in the words of those exotic elves, whether we mortals can ascend to godhood has always been in the control of the gods worshipped by our respective tribes."

"Of course, I didn't quite believe that at first either."

"But the elves also said that, just like in their world, in the Star Empire they vassal, the greatest dragon god was also a powerful ancient deity like our father god."

"And the dragons under his command are not only stronger than our race, but they can also naturally achieve godhood as they age without having to go through the trouble of connecting with the world's will like mortals."

"Therefore, they believe that the main reason why mortals in our world cannot ascend to godhood is that the gods of all races simply do not allow us mortals to ascend to godhood, nor do they allow us to enter the sea of ​​stars."

"In fact, Your Majesty, my people began experiments with the elves two years ago."

"Accurate conclusions have been reached."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, all the demon elders were stunned.

One of the more radical elders even stood up in anger and rebuked:
"Elder Val! You've gone too far!!!"

"Without His Majesty's decree, you dare to listen to the words of foreign races and even offend the domain of the Father God!"

Do you know what you're doing?

As soon as the fairy elder finished speaking, some conservative fairy elders also began to speak out in anger.

"Without the Father God, our people could not possibly continue on earth."

"Elder Var, this is a betrayal of the faith! A betrayal of the great Father!"

"Your Majesty, please punish this arrogant fool severely!"

"traitor!!!"

"Those who break their promises should be put to trial!"

"."

Many of the fairy elders angrily condemned the actions.

However, the Fairy Queen did not speak immediately about this.

At that very moment, the fairy elder Val, who had been accused, suddenly spoke in a spiritual voice that everyone could hear:

"Whether it's betrayal or offending the Father's domain."

"Everything I do is for the future of my people!"

"Therefore, before you judge whether I am blasphemous, why don't you first hear the conclusion of my department's experiment?"

The moment his words fell silent, the entire council of elders fell silent.

A mortal ascends to godhood.

To become an immortal god.

The temptation was so great that even the most devout believers in God couldn't help but show a hint of interest.

After all, becoming a god among mortals doesn't mean blasphemy, does it?

It's perfectly reasonable for mortal gods to continue to worship patriarchal deities, isn't it?
Seeing the silence in the hall, the fairy elder smiled inwardly, then continued calmly:

"Through experiments, our tribe and the Elven race discovered that once a race protected by the ancient species reaches the Saint rank, it is no longer possible to ascend to godhood through the path of mortals, let alone gain the favor of the world's will."

"Therefore, two years ago, our department selected one hundred newly enrolled members of our race to embark on the path of mortals ascending to godhood, as the Elven race has described."

"A year and a half ago, a hundred ninth-order descendants refined the bloodline within our clan and activated their divinity, thus all of them stepped into the Saint rank."

"After entering the Saint-level realm, these hundred Saint-level descendants began the process of igniting the so-called divine fire."

"In this process, just as the elves said, the risk of advancement is extremely high."

"Of the hundred races, only thirty-two ultimately succeeded in igniting the divine fire and becoming so-called demigods."

"In the words of the Elven race, this success rate is actually quite high. After all, even in their own country, the success rate of a saint igniting the divine fire is less than one in ten."

"And in the words of those elves, even if we, the so-called ancient races, no longer rely on the blessings of the ancient gods, we still have a considerable advantage in taking the path of mortals to godhood."

"Now that we've reached this stage, do you all think these demigods have undergone any changes?"

The elder paused deliberately at this point.

This immediately amused many of the demon elders.

This once again provoked a group of radical fairy elders to shout angrily.

However, the elder was quite pleased with this arrangement.

But seeing the gaze directed at him by the Fairy Queen, the elder finally spoke directly:
"The biggest change for these demigods is that they have clearly sensed the existence of the world's will."

"At the same time, they were finally recognized by the world's will and entered the astral plane to collect astral dust to build their divine kingdom."

"Although these ethnic groups cannot ascend to godhood in the short term, this result has already told us that!"

“We mortal beings on earth are also capable of becoming so-called immortal gods.”

As the fairy elder finished speaking.

In an instant, the sound of falling leaves could be heard throughout the entire hall!

"It's actually true?"

"This is unbelievable! We mortals can actually become immortal gods?"

Many of the fairy elders wore expressions of shock.

But the more radical elders raised objections. "Impossible!!!"

"Wal has definitely been bewitched by those elves! That's why he's spouting nonsense here!"

"Immortal and indestructible gods, even deities, cannot be resurrected once they die. In the ancient times, there were countless gods of various races on the earth, but what about now?"

"The so-called world will is even more laughable."

"If you can't see or touch it, does the world still have consciousness? Does that mean the earth we live on is still alive?"

"Since ancient times, the earth and sky have been made a mess by many powerful gods. Why didn't the will of the world appear to punish them?"

"Even setting aside the events of ancient times, shouldn't the Feathered Insect Clan be punished for turning the land into a wasteland?"

"."

It must be said that these fairy elders have a very tricky perspective.

However, no matter how unconventional the perspective, we must face reality.

Because, in the very next moment, with a thought from the fairy elder...

Suddenly, ten streaks of light shot down from the sky above the Fairy King's Court!

"Who goes there? How dare they offend the royal court?!"

The Queen's guards, and even many fairy demigod elders, roared in anger.

Although no god-level being has ever appeared among the fairy race, as a familiar race, it is the most powerful and ancient familiar race in this world.

Within their race, there are quite a few demigods who, like the dragons, grow and are born naturally.

The sheer scale of the shouts from over a hundred demigods was astounding.

However, just as some demigods were about to make their move, the fairy queen on the throne suddenly reached out and stopped them.

And it was at this very moment.

The demigod who had descended from the highest heavens had already landed behind the fairy elder.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"Greetings, esteemed elders!"

The ten fairy demigods revealed themselves and immediately paid their respects to the Queen and the council of elders.

His attitude was extremely respectful, without the slightest hint of arrogance befitting a demigod.

"Ok?"

"Is this the demigod race that Val spoke of, the mortals who succeeded in ascending to godhood?"

"That aura? That strength?"

"Haha, that's hilarious! Forsaking the Father God's gifts, with this little power, I could take on ten of them by myself!"

The fairy elders quickly realized who the newcomer was.

But in an instant, one of the radical fairy elders sensed the aura of the ten demigod fairies before him and burst into mocking laughter.

"This aura? Such a weak demigod?"

"A mortal ascending to godhood? A demigod who forsook the power bestowed by the Father God and burned his bloodline? Is that all?"

"."

Sensing the strength of these demigods, the fairy elders all frowned.

Even the queen on the throne couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this moment.

"So, this is the path to godhood that you spoke of, Elder Val?"

The Fairy Queen frowned as she looked at Elder Val, her expression showing slight disappointment.

However, faced with the Fairy Queen's disappointed expression, Val remained calm and bowed again, saying:
"Yes, Your Majesty."

"This is the price of a mortal's path to godhood."

"Because our clan's power was restricted to below the divine level by the Father God, in order to ascend to godhood, we had no choice but to abandon the power bestowed by the Father God, and even our original forest fairy bloodline."

"Gather the power inherent in our bloodline, then ignite the power of the bloodline bestowed by the Father God, thereby embracing the power of the mortal gods bestowed upon our race by the will of the world."

"Only in this way can our demigod people gain the recognition of the world's will!"

"The cost seems a bit high, but..."

At this point, the fairy elder deliberately paused, and looking around at all the fairy elders, suddenly said in a loud voice:

"Once they successfully ascend to godhood, the power of these descendants will be far beyond what we can currently achieve!"

"A god among mortals, a deity recognized by the world, even in death, can ultimately be resurrected under the favor of the world's will!"

"As for your questions about why the ancient gods could not be resurrected after their deaths..."

Val began to recount everything he had heard about the differences between the ancient gods and ordinary mortal gods.

In short, the general idea is that the ancient gods have a very high upper limit, far beyond what mortal gods can compare to, and they are not even favored or restricted by the planetary will.

However, when an ancient deity dies, he or she is truly dead, and there is absolutely no possibility of revival. Of course, this may not be the case for ancient deities who possess the laws of death and life.

However, even the Star Empire can only speculate about this; they have no way to verify it.

The birth of every living being in the world is a choice made by fate.

Mortals and ancient beings alike had no choice, for the status of all living beings in the world was predetermined from the very beginning of their existence.

But this destiny doesn't mean everything.

Even if a mortal is relatively weaker than an ancient species, if they can ascend to godhood, they are still a god.

Even the path to divinity may not necessarily be inaccessible to the ancient gods.

In this regard, Elder Val the Fairy even had a newly arrived demigod show a projection of the Star Empire hunting the ancient sea god Unicorn Shark in the Star Sea.

When the fairies of the royal court saw the vast number of starships in the Star Sea.

Even after the scene of the Storm God, the Troll God, and the Allied Gods hunting down the ancient sea gods.

In an instant, a terrifying mental storm had already swept through the hearts of all the fairies in the entire royal court!

So, we are just weak mortals!

They also had the opportunity to kill the gods of those races that had been incredibly powerful since ancient times.

If the fact that the Star Empire hunted the Unicorn Shark was already quite shocking...

When the fairy elder revealed that the number of mortal gods each world could support was limited, the fairies in the fairy royal court were immediately provoked!

Just kidding?
After you've learned about the power of mortal gods, do you then tell them that the number of such gods is limited by the world?
What else is there to say!

Let alone the fairy elders, even the fairy queen couldn't sit still for a moment!

Yes, these high-ranking members of their race are already demigods, or even at the peak of the demigod realm.

Logically speaking, it is no longer possible for a mortal to ascend to godhood.

but!
Fairies are special!
Because their royal court possesses the sacred royal tree.

The most powerful ability of the so-called sacred tree is that it can allow the deceased members of their clan to retain their memories of their previous life and be reborn.

Therefore, without a doubt, if these high-ranking members of the fairy royal court want to follow the path of mortals ascending to godhood, they must undergo a rebirth.

However, the Fairy Queen did not believe that this was the only path to godhood.

Because the Fairy Queen also knew the difference between the ancient gods, the ancient races, and ordinary mortals who ascended to godhood.

Therefore, if they can remove the bloodline restrictions from their own father god, what's wrong with ascending to godhood as an ancient race?
Even so, unlike the mortal gods beloved by the world, they cannot be resurrected after death.

But don't forget, the fairy race has a sacred tree!

Therefore, the Fairy Queen saw another powerful path to godhood, one that lay between the ancient gods and the mortal gods!

This is the real reason why the Forest Fairy Clan subsequently began to strengthen ties with the Star Empire and forge a so-called alliance.

And so, under these circumstances.

Years later, when the Forest Fairy Clan, together with the Frost Clan and the Star Empire's allied forces, began to exterminate the Feathered Insect Clan, the decisive battle concerning the entire Savage Star gradually drew near.
