"Is this what it feels like to become a god?"
A complete white flower slowly floated back into Merlin's body. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that everything around him was different. It was as if he had reacquainted himself with the world. His eyes could capture the flow and dispersion of Elements in the air. At the same time, his body was also changing. The blood that flowed in his body gradually became transparent and turned into beams of light.
"Welcome to us," the light giant said.
This time, there was no longer any hostility or vigilance in its voice because Merlin could now be considered as their companion in a certain sense. Although the Soul Flower had not completed the transformation of Merlin, it was only a matter of time before it was completed.
"This power …" Merlin reached out a finger and touched a huge tree beside him. In the next moment, the tree disintegrated into the most basic Magical Elements and was absorbed by his body almost instantly.
"You won't regret your choice today. When you become a god, both your mind and body will reach a whole new level. You'll no longer be limited by time. You'll see further and won't be limited to a corner of the world," the light giant said with a smile.
"You're right. I've never thought that … the nature of the world is like this," Merlin murmured. Merlin murmured as he looked at his hands that were gradually turning transparent. He was now at least a hundred times stronger than before. Powerful strength was more intoxicating than endless wealth or love between a man and a woman.
It was like a drug addiction. Merlin now understood why these things did not care about anything other than faith. In their eyes, the Dawn Continent was like their own vegetable field. The entire history of mankind spanning thousands of years was just a short cycle from sowing seeds to harvesting crops in their eyes.
The sweetest fruits of the old crops were harvested, and the remaining parts were burned clean with a fire. The ashes could even be used as fertilizer for the next batch of seeds.
Of course, there were exceptions. For example, Merlin had changed his fate. He did not become the fruit but the person who harvested the fruit. Such a thing was rare, but due to many coincidences and his continuous planning over the past nine hundred years, he finally made the impossible possible.
He was the first human to become a god, and there was a high chance that he would be the last.
"With your participation, our biggest problem has been resolved. Now, all that's left is to wrap things up. Once everything is over, we'll host a formal welcoming ceremony for you," the light giant said.
"I'm looking forward to it … but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your welcoming ceremony." Merlin raised his eyebrows.
After he said this, the surroundings suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Even the breeze by his ears had disappeared, and the leaves were no longer swaying. The gazes of over a hundred light giants fell upon Merlin.
"What is the meaning of this?" one of them asked.
"Thank you for inviting me to visit your Divine Kingdom and helping me repair the Soul Flower in my body. But as an old friend once said, all good things must come to an end." Merlin put on his hat. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm very grateful for your kindness. But after thinking about it carefully, hmm … I still prefer the human world. Everything about this place is good, but it's too cold. There's not even a place where I can look at my thighs."
"Are you going to break your promise?" The light giant's voice turned cold.
"Didn't anyone tell you never to trust me? This is common knowledge in the human world, "Merlin said slowly and took half a step back.
"You liar, you thief. Do you think you can just walk away like this? Don't forget where you are now. This is our Divine Kingdom. Once you become a god, you can't leave the Divine Kingdom as you please. Do you think you can fight us alone? " Over a hundred light giants opened their mouths and spoke in the same voice. The scene was indescribably strange.
"You really like to emphasize our location, don't you?" Merlin smiled, but he did not take their threat to heart.
"When I first saw 'Olgard', I was indeed nervous for a while. I'm not surprised that you would be wary of me, just like how I've never trusted you. But I didn't expect you to go to this extent — to invite a mortal into the Divine Kingdom. Even if according to your explanation, it doesn't make sense based on my understanding of you."
Merlin paused. "This land has a special meaning to you, doesn't it? You won't let a stranger step into your home, even if this person is about to join you. After all, that's a matter for the future, not now."
The light giant heard this and said calmly, "It seems that we've misjudged you. Humans will always be a lowly creature that only knows how to be suspicious and ungrateful. Even if we show you kindness, you'll still misinterpret it as deception."
"Forget it. When it comes to deception, you're the real experts." Merlin snorted. "The Divine Kingdom is a scam that has lasted for thousands of years. It's clearly just a tool to serve you to steal faith, but you still want to package yourself with a bunch of noble dogma. It seems that you're really good at this.
"Do you want to know how I discovered your little trick?" Merlin stretched out his palm, and there was a golden leaf in it. "This is the leaf of the 'Olgard' that you've forged. No matter what, I have to admit that in order to make me believe that I'm really in the Divine Kingdom, you've put in a lot of effort. Whether it's the World Tree, the Upside-Down World, or everything in front of me, tsk tsk, I can't help but cheer for you. Unfortunately, there are many details that can be improved. "Merlin closed his palm and clenched it hard. The golden leaf turned into powder and disappeared.
"I don't know what method you used to make me feel that I'm really in the Divine Kingdom. Even after becoming a god, even if I use my origin force to investigate, it will only further confirm my guess that I'm in the Divine Kingdom … However, in a place further away, perhaps because of time, or perhaps because your influence isn't that strong, you can't influence anything there. Thanks to you, after becoming a god, my five senses have been strengthened to a considerable extent, so I realized that I was holding an ordinary maple leaf in my hand."
