The public trial ended here, but the audience did not leave, because everyone knew that there would be an important "aftershow" — the death penalty of the God of Fear.
However, to the regret of many of the audience, Sui Xiong did not intend to put on some programs that would be forbidden to minors on Earth. He did not even execute the God of Fear directly, but took a roundabout way.
He took the audience to the Republic of Northwest on the Main Plane. First, he planted a seed in the land on the edge of Void City, and then he put in his divine power. The seed took root and germinated instantly, and soon it grew into a big tree. At this time, he dug up the trunk and put the God of Fear, who was sealed in a golden crystal, into it. Then he healed the tree and continued to put in his divine power.
After a while, a lush and verdant giant tree appeared in this place. The tree was not very tall, but the crown of the tree was very large. The entire tree seemed to be emitting a faint green light. The bottom of the tree was like a vast hall, and there were even wisps of cool and gentle aura constantly falling, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"What?! Is this the Root of the World? "a god who knew what it was asked curiously.
Many gods immediately turned their heads and looked at the powerful God of Forest, Van Nathan.
The God of Forest, Van Nathan, was a god who pursued the principle of non-alignment. He lived in the "Tree World" where there were trees and all kinds of vegetation everywhere, and he rarely left. Different from the previous God of Forest, this god's idea was the harmony and unity of forest and civilization. He was not opposed to cutting down forests to develop cities, but he demanded that there be many kinds of trees in the cities. According to him, "the forest did not die, it just moved."
Of course, this idea did not fall from the sky, but was created by fighting. The first generation of the God of the Forest, Sivanath, was a very extreme god. He believed that the forest was the source of life and the foundation of civilization. All actions of cutting down the forest were destroying the survival of civilization and betraying life itself. With him as the leader, he gathered a large number of gods who were hostile to civilization, formed an alliance, and constantly attacked those who reclaimed nature.
Later, when the Human God System united with the Goddess of Spring Water to develop the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, this alliance fought with the Human God System. Although the number of the Human God System was relatively small, the Human God System was far more elite than them. After the battle, they won a great victory and directly broke up the alliance. Even Sivanath himself died under the Divine Hammer of the Human God System's Master God Uther. His remains turned into a giant tree, which still stood tall in the Ancient Forest.
About a thousand years after the death of Sivanat, Van Nathan was born from this giant tree. He completely inherited the power of Sivanat, and was born as a great Divine Power. But his philosophy was completely different from Sivanat's. He no longer blindly rejected pioneering behavior, but instead advocated the harmony and unity of man and nature.
Over the years, Van Nathan had been living a very low-key life. His believers were keen to plant trees in various cities to green the environment. They also constantly promoted the health benefits of this natural green lifestyle, which was quite influential in the middle and upper classes.
As the most famous tree in the world, many gods had visited the Root of the World. They didn't realize it before, but now that it was mentioned, they suddenly realized that the tree that Sui Xiong had just planted was a smaller version of the Root of the World!
As the most famous tree in the world, many gods had visited the "Root of the World." Before, when no one had mentioned it, they hadn't realized it. But now that it was mentioned, they suddenly realized that the tree that Sui Xiong had just planted was a miniature version of the "Root of the World."
This must have something to do with Van Nathan!
Under the gaze of the gods, Van Nathan, who had obvious tree features even in his human form, smiled and nodded. His green leaves rustled, admitting this.
"It happened a long time ago. At that time, His Majesty the God of Justice came to me and asked me for a seed of the Root of the World," he said. "Everyone knows my character. Anyway, His Majesty Yorgaardman wouldn't hurt me, so I directly gave him the seed without asking what it was for. "
This was no different from not saying anything!
So the gods turned their attention to Yorgaardman, the God of Justice.
"This, in fact, is just an idea." Yorgaardman touched his short hair, smiled, and said, "Everyone knows that there are many candidates for the priesthood such as fear, joy, and love. Often, when a god dies, someone inherits the priesthood in the blink of an eye. That's why I've been thinking about how to avoid this situation … "
He didn't say anything more. He kept them guessing, which made the gods, who were full of expectation and curiosity, angry.
However, although the principle was not clear, the effect was clear. When the God of Fear was sealed in the big tree, all the gods whose priesthood was related to him clearly felt his disappearance.
He didn't die, but disappeared. The breath that he used to exist was rapidly weakened, and after a while, he disappeared without a trace. Although the traces of his existence were still very clear, even a little breath of him could not be felt at all. It was as if he had fallen for a long time, so long that no one except the historians would talk about him, worship him, or hate him.
This was very abnormal. Generally speaking, even if a god fell, his breath could exist for a long time. During this time, as long as there was enough power of faith and appropriate rituals, it was possible to resurrect him. It was not particularly rare for a god to fall and then be resurrected.
However, the breath of the God of Fear completely disappeared soon after being sealed in the big tree, which was incredible!
"What … what's going on?" the God of Sorrow asked curiously.
"There is nothing special. The so-called 'breath does not disappear after falling,' in fact, is nothing more than the continuation of faith. I sealed him in this sacred tree, and all the power of faith about him will be intercepted by this tree. It will not take long for him to be separated from the priesthood of fear. Of course, he will die, but the priesthood of fear will be sealed in the sacred tree for a long time. After I reverse the direction of the human world's understanding of fear, it will be more convenient to find someone to inherit it, "Sui Xiong said lightly. Sui Xiong said lightly. "In fact, it's almost the same as the method of sealing the Holy Kingdom, but there are some differences in the details."
… How is it similar? It is very different! It is very difficult to seal the Holy Kingdom, but it is much easier!
The gods secretly ridiculed him, while many gods looked deeply at the divine tree and let their imaginations run wild.
If this method could be popularized, perhaps the first goal of the war of gods in the future would be to capture the enemy alive …
At this point, the dust was almost settled, and there was no more excitement to watch. So the gods dispersed one after another, and even Yorgaardman took the God of Shadow and Assassination, who had been temporarily sealed by him, and left. Before thinking about how to let this guy adjust his alignment, Yorgaardman planned to lock up this loyal God of Fear for a while. As for how long, no one knew.
When the gods dispersed, the legendary strongmen naturally left, and finally, only Sui Xiong stayed next to the sacred tree.
He looked at the sacred tree, which seemed to be emitting a faint green light, and could not help laughing.
"You have Zhang Liang's plan, and I have a ladder to climb over the wall. No matter how many means you have prepared to help yourself resurrect, I can directly intercept the corresponding faith of the priesthood of fear, and then all of them will become useless. Come to think of it … you probably didn't expect that there would be a day when you would be sealed. "
"Your philosophy will become the dust of history, just like the old concept of fear. The future era belongs to the new generation that can give this priesthood a new life, so that it can continue to expand and progress! "
"Don't imagine that I will be like in the story, a hundred mistakes in the seal, giving you a chance. It's better for you to give up early and obediently dissipate. "
With that, his doppelganger flew up and landed on the crown of the tree. His body gradually became transparent and hid in the crown of the tree.
The body of the giant jellyfish turned into the veins of the divine tree and weaved into a huge net. The net combined with the original veins of the divine tree and intercepted every wisp of the power of faith related to fear. Not a single wisp of the power of faith could fall into the crystal that was sealed in it.
In the crystal, the God of Fear roared angrily and desperately.
As the days went by, the roar gradually became lower, and his body gradually lost its vitality.
A few years later, on a sunny winter morning, the last divine power of the God of Fear was finally exhausted. His eyes, which had been blank and out of focus, finally lost the last trace of vitality. He fell down and turned into a touch of dust in the crystal.
The dark black priesthood of fear slowly emerged from the crystal, but it did not disappear. Instead, it combined with the power of faith about fear intercepted in the sacred tree and transformed into a temporary stable form.
No one knew all this. Even those believers of the old God of Fear who were hidden in the human world knew nothing about it. Even the most loyal subordinates of the God of Fear did not know anything about it.
The God of Fear, who once shocked the Pantheon Temple and was the leader of the evil gods, had done all kinds of bad things in his life, and his reputation could make children cry at night. But when he died, no one even knew it. Even Sui Xiong did not realize that he was really dead until he found out that the priesthood of fear had separated.
All the means of resurrection that he had prepared before his death, none of them worked. Just like that, he died without a sound, without causing the slightest ripple.
Just as Sui Xiong said, he didn't even die. He just dissipated.
He never thought that he would end up like this, as humble as dust, after struggling all his life.
