The prolonged activation of the 'Heart of God,' the use of this power to strengthen the Dragon God, and the final strike that ended the life force of the god and man, had completely drained Wood's life force.
Now, not only is his hair completely white, but his skin is also gradually becoming dry and his flesh is becoming shriveled. He should have been a young man in his prime, but now he is rapidly aging at a visible speed!
If Wood has the chance to return to this world of The Sims, he will have another opportunity to be resurrected, just like before.
Through his previous experience, he also understood that after each resurrection, his resurrection location was the same as the location of his corpse.
He is now dead in the World of Nothingness, and this world is beginning to collapse. This means that even if Wood were to return to this world again, he would die the moment he is resurrected.
Because no one can live in a void where there is nothing, even if Wood is strong, his essence is still human.
"What nonsense are you spouting! How could I let my benefactor die in this god-like place with that guy?"
As a dignified dragon god, I have no habit of being a babysitter. After avenging my family, I will travel to the elven realm to bring back the surviving members of my dragon clan and revitalize the dragon race.
As for Greirat's family, you'll have to protect them with your own strength. Isn't that your wish?
Upon hearing Wood's words, Alstead, who was usually very conscious of his image, unusually swore. He then let out a roar, used his dragon tail to wrap around Wood's body, and smashed through space as he disappeared into the distance...
Chapter 561 Wood Awakens and Gets Engaged to Alice?
Five days after the war between humans and gods, in a mansion in a small border village called Buyena in the Kingdom of Asra, a white-haired boy opened his sleepy eyes.
What he saw was a familiar ceiling. Wood, belatedly realizing what was happening, had initially thought he was dead and back in the pirate world.
However, when he was about to get up and discovered the creatures pressing down on him, Wood was shocked to find that Wood Grellatt was still alive!
And seemingly because of the commotion around them, the creatures that were originally lying on Wood were also awakened at the same time.
When the first red-haired girl woke up and saw Wood awake, she was stunned for a moment. Then, after realizing that she was not dreaming, she excitedly opened her arms and hugged the boy in front of her tightly.
“Great, Wood, you’re finally awake. I knew it all along. You’ve never lied to me.”
As the red-haired beauty cheered, the other two little girls on Wood's bed, one red and one gold, were also awakened. Upon seeing Wood awake, they instantly became extremely excited and happy.
When Noren saw Alice hugging her brother tightly, he immediately pouted in dissatisfaction. Then, as if he were being coquettish and jealous, he opened his arms and sought a hug from his brother.
As for the more sensible Aisha, she had already run out of the room to inform Grellatt's other family members and friends of the good news that Wood had woken up.
While Aisha went out to deliver the message, Wood learned from Alice's account what had happened after he fell into a coma.
After the death of the gods and humans, the world of nothingness also collapsed completely. The dragon god Orsteed used his last strength to help Wood escape the collapsing world.
After breaking out of the world of nothingness, Alice and Budigandi, who were waiting outside, were terrified to see Wood on the verge of death.
Badigandi and the old sword god were among the first to know of the death of the god, as they were also able to sense the death of their contracted partner immediately.
They never expected that the God of Man would be so troublesome. Even with Wood and Alstead's combined strength, they were in such a sorry state.
After escaping the world of nothingness, Wood's heart was almost failing, and his life force was rapidly fading away. Alstead was originally capable of reviving Wood.
But he himself did not expect that taking Wood out of the collapsed world of nothingness would consume so much energy.
When the two landed, Alstead had barely managed to tell Wood about his condition before he too fainted.
Wood was ultimately able to survive because Budigandi forcibly removed his nearly crippled demonic eye, the "Eye of the Dead," to prolong Wood's life until the Dragon God awoke and used dragon clan secret techniques to stabilize Wood's life-sustaining state.
Wood, who was frozen into a crystal by Alstead using dragon secret techniques, had his time and space completely frozen and was sent back to Buena Village, the place where the Grellard family first lived in seclusion and where Wood and Rudy were born.
Wood, who was brought back, was frozen for two days. It was only with the vast resources of the dragon race brought by Orsteed, as well as the Elven treasure "Branch of Life" brought by the Elven King, that Wood was finally pulled back from the brink of death.
The dragons and elves have a certain degree of friendship. After the dragon realm was destroyed, most of the surviving dragons now live in the elf realm.
After learning of the Dragon God's request for help, the Elf King, after careful consideration, extended a helping hand.
There was no other way. On the one hand, Alsted had given too much. In order to save Wood, Alsted had truly spared no expense in squandering the dragon race's accumulated wealth over the years.
After all, in his view, the resources stored up by the dragon race were originally prepared to deal with the human god. Now that the human god is dead, those things are just gathering dust. It would be better to use them to repay Wood's kindness.
The "Tree of Life" possessed by the elves is an item with the most abundant life force. Its effect can even extend the life of an ordinary person by hundreds of years, or instantly bring a person on the verge of death back to life.
However, this thing is also a "sacred object" for the elves. If Wood were an elf, it would be fine, but he is human.
The Elf King finally relented and agreed only after being coerced and tempted by a combination of threats and inducements from Orsteed.
There was no way around it; the Dragon God Orsteed was simply too powerful. After the death of the human god, almost no one in this world could rival him.
Moreover, the Elf King had heard that the Grerat family seemed to be quite formidable, and rather than making an enemy of them, the Elf King felt that doing them a favor would be more beneficial to their elven realm.
Furthermore, although the "Branch of Life" is precious, it is not unique. Every few hundred years, the Tree of Life grows into such a branch.
The treasures the Dragon God brought in for the exchange were already sufficient; by doing the other party a favor, it was practically a sure-fire deal.
In particular, the Elf King had heard that the human who needed to be rescued was also extremely special, whose strength was in no way inferior to that of the Dragon God. In fact, the main reason why the Dragon God was able to defeat the human god this time was because of the human.
For all the reasons mentioned above, the Elf King and the Dragon God eventually arrived at Buena Village. Wood claimed that he was a friend of the Elf race because Wood had helped them (Elina Lisze and Hilfi) in the past, and therefore could use the Elf race's sacred artifacts.
After many twists and turns, although Wood was still in a coma, his vital signs finally stabilized.
After glancing at Wood's condition, Alsted and the Elf King remarked that it was possible Wood might become a vegetable, but the Grerat family still expressed their gratitude to the Dragon God.
As a result of this incident, both Senis and Alice truly let go of their hatred for the Dragon God Alsteed, because this time Alsteed was really going all out for Wood's sake.
Not only did she risk her life to bring Wood out of the world of nothingness, but she also tirelessly searched everywhere for a way to save Wood.
If it weren't for them, they wouldn't even have been able to see Wood again.
The news of Wood's awakening quickly reached the ears of every member of the Grellat family through Aisha. Senis, who was the first to rush into the room, immediately hugged her child tightly, as if she were afraid of losing her most important person again.
As Senis entered, Paul, Rudy, his grandmother Claire, his aunt Teresa, and even the old swordsman, Buddy Gundy, Cliff, Alina Lizzie, Ariel, Hilfi, and other people Wood and Rudy knew also filed in.
The dragon god Orsteed was the last to arrive. He originally planned to use dragon clan secret techniques to travel to other planes to find items to restore Wood's mental power.
In his view, since Wood's vital signs had returned to normal, the reason he had not yet woken up was because of the enormous mental strain.
Restoring Wood to normal is now the Dragon God's top priority, even more important than rebuilding the Dragon Realm.
He, the Dragon God, was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, always repaying kindness with kindness and avenging wrongs with revenge.
Wood did so much for him in the world of nothingness. Regardless of whether Wood's original intention was to do those things for him, since he benefited from them, he had to repay the favor.
If it weren't for Wood, in this battle to defeat the god, let alone kill the god, Alsted himself might have been wiped out.
At least when it came to the final burst of power from the god-human hybrid, Orstid knew that if he had faced it alone, he would have had no chance of survival.
Wood abandoned cooperation with the seemingly invincible God and chose to go to such lengths to eliminate Him. As an ally of God, Wood, having made his choice, would not betray it.
When the Dragon God arrived at Buena Village and saw Wood, whose hair had turned white prematurely, chatting and laughing with his family, he showed a genuine smile for the first time.
Upon noticing the arrival of the Dragon God, Wood got out of bed and walked over to him, nodding in gratitude and saying, "Olsteed, thank you so much this time. Otherwise, I would have let my family down again."
As you know, I can't stand seeing my family cry because of me.
In response to Wood's gratitude, the arrogant Dragon God crossed his arms, turned his head to the side, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I told you before, I won't let you regret your choice."
"The mere loss of life force is a trivial matter to me, the Dragon God."
Wood, unusually, didn't complain about the fact that the Dragon God had also sought help from the Elf King. Instead, he offered a few words of flattery, which secretly pleased the Dragon God.
Seeing the excellent atmosphere, the old swordsman glanced at Alice, who was looking on with longing eyes, and decided to give his beloved disciple a push. He then spoke to Senis, saying, "Madam, now that Lord Wood has awakened, I believe that the god Milis is guiding all of this."
Just yesterday, Alice told you that even if Lord Wood never woke up, she would stay by his side as his wife. And today, Lord Wood woke up. Don't you think this is all fate?
The old swordsman spoke with considerable skill. He knew that Senis was a follower of Milis, so he first used Milis as a pretext, and then mentioned that Wood would suddenly awaken. He said that it was all thanks to Alice's promise that the gods were moved and the matter was brought up.
These words were incredibly impactful, as children grow up, get married, and establish their own careers, no matter how reluctant Senis was to let them go.
Senis had observed Alice's character over the past few days, and as the old sword god had said, Wood awoke as soon as Alice made her promise. This led Senis, a believer, to begin to believe that it was all the guidance of the god Milis.
Upon hearing the old sword god's words, Orstid immediately revealed a look of disdain. In his eyes, the "God of Milis" that Senis and the others worshipped was nothing but third-rate trash, not worthy of calling himself a god at all, let alone offering divine guidance...
The so-called "God Milis" was just a hero in the war between the demons. Because of his outstanding performance in the battle to defeat the demon Laplace, he was gradually worshipped as a god.
This mere fake god, in terms of both prestige and ability, is not even worthy of carrying Wood's shoes, let alone guiding Wood's future.
Of course, after experiencing so much, the Dragon God is no longer the clueless fool he once was. He originally wanted to complain, but when he noticed a certain girl staring at him with an extremely dangerous gaze, Alsterd decisively chose to shut up.
Unfortunately, over the years, the Dragon God has been so focused on chasing the Human God that he has neglected everything else. Otherwise, if he had female offspring, he would never have given up the opportunity to become family with Wood.
Nowadays, there are very few partners in the world who are worthy of Wood. They are either too old or far inferior to Wood in terms of ability and prestige.
Alice is a seventeen-year-old female sword emperor. Even in a world thousands of years ago, she would definitely be considered a prodigy, and she is barely worthy of Wood.
And so, not long after Wood awoke, his arranged marriage with Alice was immediately finalized.
The decision-maker was Senis, because she was the true "head of the household," while Paul, as the "younger brother" in the family, had absolutely no say.
Wood did not object to his mother Senis's decision, because he had long noticed Alice's feelings and felt he owed her too much.
He hadn't dared to accept this affection before because he was afraid that he might die in battle one day due to the side effects of the "Heart of God".
But now that the villainous boss, the God of Humanity, has been defeated, he should be able to easily deal with any enemies that appear next. He shouldn't be able to suddenly die in this world again, which is why he responded to the girl's feelings.
The Boreas family was quite pleased to receive the marriage proposal from the Grerat family, even though Alice was the eldest daughter of the Fituia territory.
Paul and Senis's second son, Wood, who had lost his status as a high-ranking nobleman, was merely a commoner.
Wood's status as a commoner puts him on a completely different level from other commoners.
When a commoner comes to propose marriage, even the cheapest dowry items are magical artifacts comparable to national treasures.
Furthermore, for the sake of Wood and Alice's marriage, Her Majesty Queen Ariel, the trusted queen of the Kingdom of Asra, even issued a special order, instructing Philip, who is now the lord, to take this matter seriously.
Philip, Alice's father, was a man with a strong desire for power. He had seen Wood's extraordinary qualities since childhood, and since Wood was also their family's savior, he naturally would not refuse the marriage.
