Chapter 35 The Boundary Between Life and Death! 【Ask Monthly Ticket】

From the sun god to the light of dawn to the lord of light.

Lathander plays a very important role in the history of the gods, and can even be said to be one of the protagonists in the history of the gods. From the beginning of the catastrophe of the dawn until the destruction of the Arcane Empire, Lathander has occupied a very important position among the gods. with an absolute dominance. He represents the part of kindness, light and justice. Even Rose, the queen of the spider god that Sauron has always been afraid of, would not dare to fart in front of this ancient god. Because Lathander is now close to a symbol among the gods, especially after the fall of the original god of justice-Tyr, and after the Lord of Radiance integrated the priesthood of justice into himself, his existence made the gods even more awed.

Lathander holds a large number of priesthoods.

In the past, he once possessed the priesthood of sports, birth, creativity, dawn, recovery, self-protection, spring, vitality, youth, etc., but later he separated these priesthoods and assigned them to other gods, and The Goddess of Agriculture's [Spring] priesthood was inherited from his father, and the Light of Dawn was also a priesthood bestowed by Lathander. Up to now, Losander's priesthood has been reduced a lot, and his core priesthood has changed to [Light] and [Justice]. He is now the combined form of the Sun God and the God of Justice, the most powerful god at present. The god's overly aggressive altruism and disinterested attitude got in the way of the good he was striving for. His arrogance and fanaticism cloud his mind from the inevitable consequences of his actions. He strives for perfection, but he is self-willed and refuses to listen to other people's opinions. These shortcomings were fully exposed during the Dawn Calamity, but it was also the catastrophe second only to the Year of Turbulence that changed him. At that time, Losander planned to rebuild a new god system by himself, but it caused a divine chaos. shock. His failure destroyed several gods and powerful alien creatures, collapsed many theocratic countries, and indirectly led to the destruction of [City of Songs]-Myzo Zanoer.

This failure made Luo Shanda grow up, and the sacrifice and redemption of the Father of the Oak Tree when the Arcane Empire was destroyed completely changed the Lord of Radiance.

now.

No god can fight against the Lord of Radiance alone, even the ancient Lady of the Night is in awe of Him!

Sauron needs the support of the goddess of agriculture.

Because he knew very well that even if he had advanced to a powerful divine power, it would be difficult for him to be an opponent of the Lord of Radiance. And without the support of the Lord of Radiance, the plan this time would become extremely difficult.

Because of his deep hatred for the undead, Lathander made him an ally of Kelemvor, the God of Sleep, before he became the Lord of Radiance, although there were some conflicts between the two sides in the plan to destroy the God of Tyranny, Bane. , and during the Arcane Empire period, the two sides once again had a rift, but so far the Lord of Radiance still supports Kelenvor.

This is where the problem lies.

If Kelenvor still has the support of the Lord of Radiance, then the original historical scene will reappear. The Lord of Radiance appeared to deal a heavy blow to Death-Naraku, and indirectly helped Kelemvor regain his priesthood.

This is not what Sauron wants to see!

Kelemvor has proven his negligence. The turmoil of the undead means that his teachings do not conform to the lower planes, and even the ancient god of death, Jergal, is a little disappointed.

Currently, the only one who can speak to the Lord of Radiance is the Goddess of Agriculture.

Today, when the mother of the earth has retired, the father of the oak tree has fallen, and the analysis of the entire natural pantheon has collapsed, the only one who maintains a close relationship with the Lord of Radiance and can persuade him is the goddess of agriculture, the daughter of him and the mother of the earth , is also the junction point of the natural pantheon and the human pantheon.

Harvest City, within the half-plane of the secret realm.

The Goddess of Agriculture pondered for a long time under Sauron's gaze. After a while, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "My relationship with my father is not very good."

After the mother of the earth returned to hermitage.

The Goddess of Agriculture actually seldom dealt with the Lord of Radiance, especially after Losander entered the depths of Mount Paradise, she felt that her father had completely changed. Although the former Lathander was a bit reckless and self-willed, he was full of enthusiasm, kindness and vitality. However, since the father of the oak tree sacrificed himself to save the material plane, Lathander has become another existence.

He has all the memories of Lathander in the past, but even his daughter, the goddess of agriculture, feels very strange.

Lathander became more pure.

The current Lord of Radiance seems to be perfect, but the Goddess of Agriculture knows that this is the result of her father giving up part of her humanity. The gods of this world have maintained their humanity to maintain their vitality, and Lathander now seems to be assimilated by brilliance and justice.

If the priesthood dominates the gods, that part of humanity is missing.

As a new god, Sauron did not have such an understanding. It would take at least a thousand years for Sauron to feel this.

silence.

The Goddess of Agriculture pondered over the gains and losses, and said after a long time, "I can try to convince my father for you, but I can't guarantee success."

Sauron showed a joyful smile when he heard the words, nodded and said: "This is enough."

Even if it is impossible to get the support of the Lord of Radiance, as long as he will not be hostile to himself in the process of competing for the priesthood of death.

The goddess of agriculture thought for a while, and then said: "If you take over the [death] priesthood, how do you plan to perform your duties? It is very important to know that believers of all gods will go to the underworld after death, and the death gods have always It maintains the ancient covenant and is responsible for sending the believers of the gods to the kingdom of God."

"besides."

"Many gods have a very unfriendly attitude towards the undead, but with Kelenvor's dereliction of duty, you must balance the position of the undead."

This is critical.

To convince the Lord of Radiance, Sauron must prove that he is worthy of support.

However, Sauron had already planned for this. He thought for a while and said: "Death God-Naru's teachings are too extreme. He hates life and wants to destroy life. He is too biased towards the undead. All the gods don't want to see this. And Kelenvor’s teachings are too biased towards the living. His church has always been committed to letting the undead sleep forever. Countless undead were killed by his believers, which made the relationship between him and most of the undead. Nervous and hostile."

"I think it's the current situation."

"A [moderate] teaching is more conducive to the current situation. In my opinion, the [Eternal Sleep] domain is necessary, otherwise the material plane will be flooded with undead sooner or later. However, there is no need to expel and kill undead like Kelanwo , the most important thing right now should be to clarify the boundary between [death] and [immortality].”

"The current chaos is like a replay of the time of the Three Death Gods."

"The current chaos was only in the time of Melkor. Kelenvor hated most of the undead and believed that they should be destroyed. For me, the most important distinction between [death] and [undead] is As long as the world of the living is not disturbed, then the lower planes naturally have a place for the undead to stay."

"If possible, I hope to divide an area between the underworld and the spirit world to temporarily appease the undead."

"As for the future, things can be resolved slowly."

Sauron actually has another set of ideas in his mind, but he can't mention it at all at the moment, because it will change the pattern of the lower planes, especially the underworld. The most suitable way now is a more [moderate] way.

"Draw the line between birth and death?"

The Goddess of Agriculture showed a slight smile when she heard the words, and then said softly: "If this is the case, I think I will be more confident in persuading my father."

The Lord of Radiance loathes all undead.

But the existence of the undead cannot be erased at all. If Sauron really intends to draw a clear line between life and death so that the world of the living will not be disturbed by the dead, then it is very possible to get the support of the Lord of Radiance . After all, the failure of Kelanvor has proved that the undead cannot be treated blindly by destroying and suppressing it. Now the catastrophe of the undead disaster is the revenge of many undead lords for the past. For thousands of years, Kelenvor has been committed to destroying the undead and letting the dead "sleep forever", which has caused countless undead to abandon him, and even stand by Naluo's side to rebel against him, the "King of the Dead".

If Sauron had the same thought as Kelemvor, there would still be another plague of undead breaking out in a few years' time!
