The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerf - Chapter 814
Chapter 814: Oceanic Faith
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a series of tortures… ah, conversations, Ji Chen gradually gained some understanding of the little one named Nora.
Her actual name was Nora, a lesser god known as the God of Starlight. She wielded authority over the seventieth lower-tier within the realm of starlight authority.
She belongs to a race called Void Elves, naturally able to live in the void since birth, but other than the name and the connection to elves, she had no relationship with the elves in the main world.
But she still belonged to the fraction of orderly gods.
“Your authority was sealed by a sinister god named the Dark Lord of Deception. In order to escape, you voluntarily fell from the void into the main world, and you were chased by those dark beasts?”
“Yes, the Dark Lord of Deception is considered to be quite powerful among the mid-tier gods, and the authority he holds [Deception] ranks twentieth among mid-ter authorities!”
Nora nodded and looked at Ji Chen, adding, “Of course, this is definitely not as good as your [Thunder] authority.”
Ji Chen nodded, his expression serious. “What I’m more interested in now is whether the orderly gods know about the invasion of demons into the main world?”
“Of course we know. The prayers of the believers have long been known to all the great gods.” Nora sighed heavily. “But we have no way to respond or interfere, we can only watch.”
Ji Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, which undoubtedly confirmed his previous speculation based on the information provided by Lainekel, Leysha, and others.
That was, orderly gods were not unaware of everything happening in the main world, but they were unable to do anything about it.
“Have you been entangled by the Dark Lord?”
Nora looked at Ji Chen with some surprise, “It seems you know quite a bit?”
Ji Chen shook his head. “I don’t know, it’s just a bold guess based on some information. Neither the elves nor the church can get the oracles and responses of their worshiped gods, and they can only watch the minions of the Dark Lord ravage the land where they depend on to survive. Thinking about it, this is the only possibility.”
Nora nodded approvingly. “A good inference and it’s quite accurate. However, to explain this clearly, we have to talk about the last god war.”
“You should know that hundreds of thousands of years ago, in the god war, the dark gods were defeated and suppressed by the orderly gods in the depths of chaos abyss, right?”
“Of course I know.”
“As long as there are believers and faith, the gods are almost immortal. Even if they are killed, as long as their divine soul remains, they can rely on the power of believers’ faith to be reborn through Nirvana.”
Nora talked eloquently, as if she were a participant, “The same is true for the dark gods. Although the god war was won by the side of order, there are still many evil believers remaining on the earth. With the guidance of the dark gods, they scattered and evaded punishment after the defeat of the god war, giving them a chance to rise again.
However, the majority of mortal beings are unaware that the abyss of chaos is, in fact, a unique space within the void, characterized by an extremely hostile environment filled with chaotic energy. Even for gods, it presents significant danger. Prolonged exposure to the divine body and soul will lead to gradual decay. This is precisely why the gods of order unanimously consented to confine those dark gods there, permitting their divine souls to deteriorate and ultimately achieve complete eradication.”
Ji Chen nodded suddenly, realizing that the chaos abyss had such a trick. But then he asked in confusion.
“But hundreds of thousands of years have passed, how can the dark gods still turn the tables and entangle the orderly gods?”
“It seems that the dark gods have found a way to avoid the influence of chaotic energy, and not only have they not decayed, but they have also become stronger. Then, they collectively made a move.”
Nora’s face was full of indignation. “Who would have thought that they would be so insidious, enduring for more than ten thousand years without making a sound, and then suddenly rushing out while we were not paying attention? It’s really despicable!”
In fact, the energy of the chaos abyss not only damages the divine body and divine soul but also isolates the gods from prying eyes, which makes the orderly gods outside unable to know clearly what is happening inside.
As time passed, they could only vaguely sense that those dark gods were growing weaker and weaker, leading to natural rejoicing and a relaxation of their vigilance.
The number of orderly gods responsible for rotation decreased, and finally, the dark gods, who appeared weak, broke through the suppression in one fell swoop.
Ji Chen pursed his lips, surprised to learn it was because of this reason. He didn’t know whether to attribute the tenacity of the dark gods in adversity or the arrogance of the orderly gods.
It seemed that the so-called gods were not devoid of human emotions, possessing characteristics similar to mortals. The embarrassing God of the Stars before him was a perfect example.
Feeling the slightly offensive gaze from Ji Chen, Nora angrily waved her fist. “Human, what’s with that look? Just because you lucked out with the Thunder Authority doesn’t mean you can be so disrespectful to a god!”
Ji Chen shrugged. “Can beings without authority still be called gods?”
Nora’s expression froze momentarily, deciding to swallow her pride for now.
When she regained her authority later, she would make sure this human knew the difference between gods and mortals!
Hmph, for now, she would endure and let this relatively competent human help her gather some believers to provide faith power, so she could lift the seal on her authority and restore her strength as soon as possible.
With her plan set, Nora quickly adjusted her attitude, wearing a smile on her face.
