Chapter 304 The Feeling of a Pillar
The Fourth Age.
For over two hundred years since the founding of the Solomon Empire, the world has been at peace, and the seas and rivers have been calm and tranquil.
As humanity's position became increasingly secure, the sea creatures and dragons, leaderless, were essentially divided up. The White Emperor, who acted early, reaped a larger share of the spoils. The sea creatures were already aligned with the elves, while the dragons...
As the saying goes, a group of dragons without a leader.
The situation on the northern and southern continents is relatively stable, and the conflicts among the gods are mostly concentrated in the spirit world.
The Hermit has gained control of more than half of the underworld, and because the other gods do not want to see the God of Death truly become a god, this has not been interfered with too much.
However, he only managed to secure 60%, because Salinger was, after all, the King of Angels of the Death Path. The other gods did not want to see Salinger become the God of Death, nor did they want the Hermit to completely control the Underworld, as the Hermit's energy was being diverted to other matters.
Compared to the vast underworld, the spirit world has even less control. Although there are very few beings in the current era who can extend their reach into the spirit world, it is still very easy for these guys to do bad things. The hermit has only managed to take control of 30%. If they take control of any more, they will have to accept the occasional harassment from other gods. At least Feng, Zhi, and Bai would definitely be happy to do so.
Externally, non-friendly units are blocking the entrance; internally, friendly units are sabotaging our efforts.
Even if one is a recluse, one cannot expand one's market share on one's own.
Solomon, the Black Emperor who was once checked and balanced, learned the joy of checks and balances after achieving unification.
The First Solomon Empire now rules over the entire northern continent and has also encroached on parts of the southern continent.
The Black Emperor was quite content. The more profound the imperial order became in the Northern Continent, the stronger His control over the empire as a whole became, including the few churches remaining within the empire's borders. The stronger the imperial power, the weaker the religious power; the stronger the reality side, the more the mystical side would be suppressed.
He also extended his order into the spirit world through the connection between the hermit and the White Emperor, indirectly through the hermit and the seven lights. Although this process was greatly hindered, he still managed to steal a portion of the authority of the spirit world.
The Solomon Empire is a dual-emperor system, with the White Emperor sharing the Black Emperor's authority in the real world. The White Emperor can invoke the power of order to suppress his rivals, while the Black Emperor can share the White Emperor's authority in the spirit world, usurping power from the mystical realm to fill his own gaps.
This is actually unfair, but as the pinnacle of the legal profession, the Black Emperor naturally has a way to equate these things. Moreover, he has the loyal Zoroaster family under his command, who can advise the emperor and solve his problems. Solomon is also certain that the Hermit will not choose to turn against him because of some under-the-table distribution of benefits, thus maintaining the alliance between the two sides, which is beneficial to both divine emperors.
Solomon wanted to wait, believing that the longer it dragged on, the greater his advantage would be.
Mr. Men, who should have truly possessed some authority in the spirit world, chose to remain beautiful in solitude amidst such intrigue and scheming. He simply pretended that he had no authority in the spirit world and focused on playing in the astral realm, traveling through the starry sky whenever he had free time.
The auxiliary materials for advancing to the 0th level of the promotion sequence require mastering at least three galaxy systems' astronomical, geographical, and folk customs knowledge. Mr. Men can only figure this out himself, since he doesn't get involved in matters of the spirit world anyway.
The war between the gods has never stopped.
"The Hermit" is almost always fighting alongside the Wind, Wisdom, and White, and also has to find time to suppress the Grim Reaper of the Underworld.
The White Pagoda is a problem.
Although hermits have the authority to conceal themselves, the spirit world is open and transparent. Hermits do not inherit authority over the spirit world; instead, they need to influence it with a portion of their own spirit, imprinting their spirit on every aspect of it. This is why they are always stuck on the progress bar.
He can inherit, but not truly; proficiency must be gained through practice.
He wanted to acquire the title of "Lord of the Spirit Realm" and raise his authority to a certain level. Then one of the three gods would challenge him. After the battle, either his spiritual imprint would be purified by the sun, or the information flow scattered throughout the spirit realm would be destroyed by the storm's magnetic field.
The hermit will not seek help from such harassment, nor will reliable allies such as the Black Emperor, the Fallen God, or the Earth Mother intervene. If "suppressing the God of Death" is the consensus of the gods, then "suppressing the hermit" is the same. That's just human nature.
Even if they don't touch the spirit world, they don't want the Hermit to have too much control over it. Moreover, the Hermit's advancement seems to be too rapid. Even though he hasn't escaped the realm of gods, he has already gained some of the power of a fallen god.
This was achieved through typing.
Since the Hermit's emergence, the friction between the Fallen God and the three gods of Wind, Wisdom, and White has eased considerably.
The day was just like any other.
The Hermit seemed to be the true Grim Reaper, radiating a cold-toned brilliance. In the spirit world, he easily dealt with the Storm Lord, who was the main force of all five factions. As the seven-colored brilliance flowed, everything he touched was decomposed and eliminated. He could destroy and overcome anything, and he suppressed the Storm Lord throughout the entire battle.
Leodorus, the Lord of Storms, had some damage to his breastplate. Even in the spirit world, he could still stir up towering waves, but it was all in vain. The Hermit opened a portal, and a great rainbow bridge was formed by seven-colored pure light, expelling all the waves.
A raging storm, powerful enough to overturn a continent, was held still by seven beams of pure light. The lightning strikes, carrying matter, speed of light, and current, also dissolved in the cold, pure light that came from the merging of the seven lights. The matter within was decomposed, the energy was depleted prematurely, the mystery lost its effect, and the rules of reality were rewritten.
The authority of the hermit and the partially perfect is combined, and nothing is indivisible.
Looking at the spirit realm, which remained stable and rapidly recovered despite the fierce bombing.
Xia Er seemed to finally understand a little bit about what a pillar was.
The pillar of a world.
boom!
A lightning spear imbued with divine power pierced through the distracted hermit.
The hermit's body disintegrated and slowly dissipated.
However, Leodorus showed no joy. His aura was as violent and chaotic as a storm, and the electromagnetic storm that swept through in an instant indiscriminately wiped out all the information structures in the vicinity.
However, it was to no avail. After the electromagnetic storm subsided, the hermit's figure was reconstructed from the void once more.
He threw a punch, and the entire spirit world seemed to resonate slightly. His authority shifted slightly, knowledge gained power, and information gained weight. The weight of the punch caused Leodorus to be forced to retreat.
With a wave of his hand, the hermit exerted an invisible repulsion on Leodorus, making the Lord of Storms feel heavily restricted, as if he were a marine creature from the deep sea had come to the shallows. The change in water pressure made him uncomfortable all over, and he was then repelled by subsequent attacks.
The Hermit's authority is not enough to leverage the power of the spirit world or restrict an equal true god, but it can be combined with the Black Emperor's order. The Black Emperor's power, which he inserted into the spirit world through loopholes, is quite effective.
