As for where it is, the first level of the underground world is pretty good, warm, humid, and most importantly, there are many monsters.

No matter what organism, it will become harmless when there is no pressure to survive, and Cordyceps fungi are no exception. When reproduction in an area is no longer a problem, they will reduce their invasiveness and become delicious fungi, that is, nutritious mushrooms.

"There's no problem with the defense of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, but it's a big problem that the Anti-Life Tree can grow even after absorbing the power of the sun." Blaze leaned against the trunk of the ancient Tree of Life, looked up at the sky and sighed with a headache.

"Ah~ You are worried about the sun god on your back." Ishtar looked at Blaze casually as if she was admiring her fingernails.

"You can't do it, because this is a selfish sun. She has decided to shine only on you, not to mention that she looks pretty lazy."

Blaze deliberately leaned against the ancient tree of life to prevent Amaterasu from appearing. Although Amaterasu would not be affected by what he was leaning against, she cared very much about these unimportant things.

It is worth mentioning that Ishtar was really just admiring her fingernails, which had no decorations at all.

"What do you mean?" Blazer was still very concerned about the sun. After all, the sun really appeared at some important turning points in his life in various senses.

"Only the sun, which covers the whole world selflessly and diligently, can give the world vitality. This is also true for other places. Only those who are loved can be loved. If the sun loves the world unequally, then the places that are not loved by the sun will be burned to ashes."

"To be honest, if you have any sense of responsibility, you should never let the sun god behind you go. If she rises into the sky on a whim one day, the whole world will turn into a sea of ​​fire."

"Is this true?!" Blaze's relaxed posture stiffened. If possible, he hoped that this was a devilish joke from Ishtar, but Ishtar didn't like jokes. She spoke her mind and would never make jokes casually.

After all, the purpose of joking is to amuse the person who hears the joke. This kind of ambiguous playful behavior is not something that everyone is qualified to enjoy for Ishtar. Only the existence that she wants love can get it.

That is Ereshkigal.

"Really? I have a brother who is the Sun God. I once asked him to let me be the Sun God for a few days, but he refused me in all seriousness, saying that I lose interest in things too easily and that it would only be a disaster for me to be the Sun God."

"Oh!" Blaze became interested, not in the affairs of the sun god, but in Ishtar's family environment.

Although the family affairs of the gods are always a mess and will bring trouble to innocent mortals, they are also very attractive. This is probably the same as the common people's love of gossip about the embarrassing affairs of high-ranking officials and nobles.

"Can I ask about your parents? Is there any chance they will come back?"

"I shouldn't do it. I am the daughter of Nanna, the moon god, and Ningal, the reed goddess. They--"

"Wait, you are the Daughter of the Moon, then why don't you look like Audrey?" This is probably the fickleness of human nature. Blazer always has a headache when he encounters goddesses with similar appearance to Audrey, but when a goddess who should look similar to Audrey really appears but doesn't, he starts to care.

"Audrey face? I'll just call it an adjective for beauty." Ishtar rolled her eyes.

She thought that Blaze probably didn't realize what would happen if he said such things to a goddess. You know, goddesses care a lot about appearance, and comparing her appearance with that of a mortal is undoubtedly a suicidal act.

Fortunately, she was extremely confident about her appearance and did not feel offended at all.

"You think so because the sun is competing for the only one, and the moon is the only one. Unfortunately, my father, the moon god Nanna, did not have the opportunity to become the only moon."

"he died."

Chapter 1453 The Secret of the Name

The death of God is still a distant word for Blaze, because God will not [die]. Even if their consciousness disappears, their souls are shattered, and their bodies are dismembered, they will turn into other things and continue to exist. They will not truly disappear.

Like Athena, her body turned into a giant Gorgon after losing her soul, and Pan was demoted to another god after repeated sacrifices and deaths.

This is the death of God in the eyes of mortals, but the death in the mouth of God is truly death. Ishtar spoke of her father's death very calmly.

The reason is probably...

"I guess it's because you want to fall in love with Ereshkigal, and your father is one of the main gods that stand in the way. You're so indifferent because it's a hindrance to your love."

"What are you thinking about? Even though he was hindering me, he had no selfish motives and was thinking about the development of the entire world. Even though he left me to die after I was skewered and dried, I was enjoying the fun between me and Ereshkigal at that time."

Blaze's eyes twitched. Fortunately, it was Ishtar who said this, otherwise it would sound like the prisoner was self-destructing.

"I'm so indifferent because the relationship between gods is like this. There is no so-called kinship between gods. Most gods are born by accident, and they are perfect and powerful at birth. Occasionally, some gods are deliberately cultivated, but there is no kinship between them either."

"No matter what god it is, from the moment of birth, they are just pillars to maintain the world. As long as one god acts recklessly, the world will be in chaos, or even destroyed."

"[Family affection] is a luxury for God, and sometimes it is even just a tool."

Ishtar held her chin in her hand, rarely showing mixed emotions over something that had nothing to do with Ereshkigal.

"It's hard to say. Maybe there will be exceptions." Blaze counted the gods he had seen.

Odin, this cheap dad, is quite humane, while Athena and Cyrene are too humane in various aspects, but Themis is okay.

As for Amaterasu, there is no need to say more.

They are not as cold and indifferent as Ishtar described them to be. Even though they possess extraordinary power and wisdom, they are still swayed by the same emotions as ordinary people.

Ishtar smiled like an old veteran.

"I offended Ereshkigal and was hung up to dry as bacon. My maid went to beg my father, the moon god Nannar, to save me, but he refused." Ishtar said calmly without much expression on her face, "The reason for his refusal was that Ereshkigal was also his daughter, and he didn't want to hurt her."

"Then why is Ereshkigal in the Underworld of Kul? She is not a god born in the Underworld."

Blaze didn't know how to answer this question. Maybe there were gods in the afterlife, but the rulers of the afterlife were often not born in the afterlife.

He had heard Hebi talk about the power structure between kingdoms. Every time a new area was occupied, the royal family would send a trustworthy person to rule it. This trustworthy person was usually a member of the royal family.

To the gods, the afterlife is just a region. The gods need to send a god who is trustworthy enough to rule the afterlife and ensure that even the afterlife is under the rule of the gods.

However, the gods are not like humans who want to rule that area to gain some benefits. They simply need the afterlife to maintain the balance of the world.

And they have a more reliable way than the [royal family] to ensure that the afterlife is under their rule, and that is the mythological totem itself.

The relationship between the gods is also a part of the totem. This relationship connects the afterlife with the world of the living, forming a huge and complete mythological totem.

But even the gods are afraid of the afterlife. Their immortality and eternity are for the living beings on earth, so there will be that [unlucky guy].

Perhaps in Cyrene's statement [Among the ten gods of death, nine are crazy, one is mad, and one is an unlucky guy], the unlucky guy refers to the fact that every previous god is an unlucky guy.

"No matter who it is, the gods, including me, are trying to interfere with other gods, either to prove that they are more correct or to try to seize power. Even my righteous, selfless, and fair brother, the sun god, tried to arrange a husband for me for the good of the world."

"Now it seems that perhaps the gods have instinctively sensed the existence of the totem, and are trying to use this method to expand their totems and emphasize their presence."

"Is this why you are the Mistress of Heaven and Earth?"

"No~ I am very sure that I did this because I wanted to, not because of something boring like a mythological totem." Ishtar shook her head proudly.

"Would you go out of your way to do something big just to add something to your totem?"

"That sounds boring, but I will use the totem to kill some guys, such as Balder, Adam and the like." Blaze was thinking about Balder and Adam. These two guys were like dog-skin plasters, so it would be better to take them off quickly.

"Oh, that sounds interesting!"

Blaze looked at Ishtar. It was a rare sight to see such an ancient god who spoke so unscrupulously. He just happened to have a question he particularly wanted to ask.

"How did you decide on the names of your mythological totems? This is something that was only discovered recently."

Ishtar tilted her head, as if considering whether or not she could answer the question, but the result of her thought was, "I am Ishtar, I will say whatever I want to say."

She waved at Blaze, and when Blaze came over, she put her arms around Blaze's neck and leaned close to Blaze's ear.

This was a rather ambiguous action, and Blaze shook his head uncomfortably.

Ishtar, who was talking to herself, immediately pinched Blaze's chin impatiently, fixed Blaze's head, opened her mouth next to Blaze's ear and blew a breath.

Blaze's eye twitched. He strongly suspected that Ishtar was simply playing a trick on him, but... Ishtar would only play such ambiguous behavior with the person she loved.

The proof was that the sound of Ishtar's blowing appeared in his mind, and he would remember it again whenever he wanted.

This is not a breath, it is a sentence, a word that cannot be said, a mystery that cannot be revealed.

This is the answer that even the self-willed and extremely selfish Ishtar would not say directly, and can only tell it indirectly.

"When you have a higher translation skill, you will understand the meaning of my words."

Chapter 1454 There are other things growing

There is so much truth in old sayings, especially the saying that curiosity kills the cat.

Blaze had a terrifying feeling that he had accidentally touched upon the truth of the world. The last time he had this feeling was when he knew that everything was turned upside down, and this time it was even more chilling.

"Since it's something that can't be said, can't you just not say it?"

In response to Blaze's questioning, Ishtar shrugged and gave an unbelievable answer.

"But you asked, and I wanted to tell you. Come, you can guess now, and I will answer you with nods and shakes of my head."

Ishtar was in high spirits, as if she would enjoy the truth no matter how terrible it was.

Blaze's face was tense. He was deeply afraid that this was like some language that would come true once it was unlocked, so he would never satisfy Ishtar's terrible interest.

“We should focus on the present first.”

"That's right. If the matter of the underworld Kul cannot be resolved, the answer to your curiosity will be meaningless." After Ishtar once again threw out some rather scary words, she ended the topic neatly.

"You should know that there is no true omnipotence in this world. Even the omniscient and omnipotent power is limited by the container."

"Ereshkigal is invincible in the Underworld of Kul. No attack can harm her. She can take away any life with just one strike, including me as the God of Life."

"Why should I use you as a comparison?" Blaze raised his eyebrows. Occasionally, he would stop Ishtar from talking too much and narcissistically.

This is a very serious discussion about the final BOSS, and there cannot be any mistakes in intelligence.

"Then what is the most difficult thing to kill you have ever seen?" Ishtar asked seriously, showing a rare lack of impatience.

"Adam."

Blaze carefully described Adam's abilities, including his perfect body, his swallowing of countless life fruits, his killing of the only God, and his ability to jump back and forth.

"Even now, his soul is locked in a coffin. If he is released, he can be resurrected at any time. Can he be completely eliminated?"

"He can't be killed, because he is already dead. Even the God of Death cannot make a dead man die again, and the Hades Kur is not suitable to imprison Adam." Ishtar shook her head.

"You want a place where he can never escape, but unfortunately, the Underworld Kuer is not such a place. Any place of death, as long as something has left, no matter if it is the dead or the living, will not have the ability to "absolutely prevent leaving."

"In the past, the Underworld Kul was approached by four gods including me. Now, a bunch of foreigners can come and go at will. The defense is no different from a fishing net."

"But if we compare vitality, I have the upper hand."

Ishtar raised her head proudly again at the end of her speech, and Blaze shrugged helplessly. Sometimes it was difficult for him to judge whether Ishtar was just trying to save face or had real ability.

But now he is more inclined to the former. He has personally experienced how difficult Adam is, and as for Ishtar... currently he has only felt the power of Ishtar's mouth, and other aspects can basically be described as incompetent.

"You don't believe it?" Ishtar raised her brows. "Let me tell you, it's not that I'm stronger than that Adam, but any god associated with life is more immortal than Adam."

"He doesn't even love himself, he only loves an illusory self. His vitality is like a piece of frozen ice, which only looks huge, but in fact it will break at the touch."

Blaze nodded. In fact, he didn't understand anything at all, but at least he knew that he could use Nero's judgment to trap Adam. At least now Amit was still a hell that the dead could not escape from.

In fact, this has been verified by strangers. There is an Amit that can be challenged in the alchemical pyramid. Once eaten by Amit, no matter how strong you are, you cannot escape from it. The only way is to tear open Amit's abdomen from the outside.

"If you have the chance, you must let me see the power of you, the God of Life." Blaze joked.

"..." Ishtar fell into silence for a rare moment. She never missed an opportunity to show her excellence, but unfortunately things were different now.

Blaze also saw the reason for Ishtar's silence. She could not leave the Tree of Life. All her power and authority had been given to Ereshkigal.

Now, the Mistress of Heaven and the Mistress of Earth are left with only their souls and selves.

But is she troubled by her predicament?

Who knows.

Blazer didn't dig deeper into the answer. He held his chin and returned to the digressive topic.

"Ereshkigal may have invincible power in the Underworld of Kul, but it is Ereshkigal who uses the power after all. She has her own weaknesses, right?"

"Yes, strictly speaking, that can be said to be a weakness. It's just that when you concentrate on something, you lose sight of the details." Ishtar paused for a moment and became interested again.

"Like if I pinch her butt, she will stick her spear into my hand, but if I touch her belly or lick her neck at the same time, she won't know where to stick it into me and will hesitate for a few seconds and choose to stick it into my eye."

"Can you please give me some normal examples?!" Blaze rubbed his arms vigorously. Ishtar should be separated from Athena.

No, maybe Athena is not even worthy of being grouped together with Ishtar. After all, Athena has only talked about it and pretended to do it, but if Ishtar said it, she would definitely do it.

"You mean, if she guards the Chaos River, the attack of the Black Gold Forest will not be so fierce, and the expansion will slow down. If she wants to continue to expand, she must leave the Chaos River, and we will have a chance to take the Life Mud in the Chaos River."

"That's about right." Ishtar twisted the ends of her black hair with her fingers and curled it up. Her brows couldn't help but frowned, as if she was thinking of something bad.

"…But be careful. If the attack fails for a long time, the Black Gold Forest may change its target. The Black Gold Forest is a plant after all, and the land where it grows may grow something else."

"Other things that seem to be following the orders of the mistress."

"I see."

On the fourth day of the war against the Tree of Life, the Black Gold Sea of ​​Trees, which had been targeting the Peace Olive Tree, the Golden Apple Tree Sea, and the Golden Tree Sea, began to attack human towns.
