Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

When he discovered this strange will, Su Mo was indeed very vigilant.

But when he observed through the system panel that the opponent's strength level was also LV7, he immediately felt relieved.

There are also strong and weak levels within the LV7 God's Domain. The weak can only destroy the country, but the strong have the ability to sink the entire Eurasian continent to the bottom of the sea.

But now, Su Mo, who has mastered all the power of the Black King, is one of the strongest even among LV7. He has no shortcomings in fully mastering the theory of elements. The divine level spiritual power means that he does not have to worry about any spirits of the same level. Confrontation.

No matter what the other party wants to do, Su Mo now has the means to deal with it and can leave at any time.

Without being overly defensive, he began to observe the opponent's condition.

What appeared in front of him was a human being. It seemed nonsense to say this, but Su Mo really couldn't find a better word to summarize it.

This is a person with no obvious characteristics. It is not clear whether he is a man or a woman. He does not look like a saint or a prisoner. He does not look like an old man, nor does he seem that young... The overall impression is lackluster, except that he is definitely human. Apart from this information, everything else is somewhat ambiguous.

Correspondingly, the clothes he was wearing, as well as the color of his hair and eyes, etc., had no clear impression, making it difficult to distinguish "what kind", "what identity" and "for what".

In the spiritual realm, human beings will manifest their imaginary selves, but the person in front of them does not look like an actual human being, but rather like a standard conceptual template from a textbook.

Compared with his vague image, Su Mo cared more about his faceplate.

In addition to the name Nidhogg and the level setting of LV7, there is only one skill behind it.

——[Life Catalog].

Nothing else.

The power of elemental theory has been mastered by Su Mo, so Nidhogg naturally no longer possesses this skill. This is normal, but what does the catalog of life mean? How can we support Nidhogg in maintaining the God's Domain level rating?

Su Mo immediately clicked on the detailed introduction of the [Life Catalog] skill, and soon got new information.

[Catalogue of Life] - Records of the genes and organic structures of all organisms since the birth of life on Earth, including but not limited to the genetic structure data of all organisms in the five mass extinctions after the Cambrian explosion, including today's All biological data such as dragons and humans are the manifestation of a warehouse of life data that has spanned billions of years.

Seeing these introductions, Su Mo subconsciously thought of the wonderful hypothesis he had seen before traveling through time, which speculated that the true identity of the Black King Nidhogg was actually a planet-level life form born and raised on earth.

The Black King's creation of the dragon race was actually part of the explosion of species in the history of life on the planet. The so-called dragon genes did not suddenly fall from the sky, but were new combinations bred from the genes of ancient creatures that had become extinct in the past.

The disappearance of dragons in history proves that in the competition of species, dragons are destined to be eliminated by humans.

The so-called doomsday is actually a part of the mass extinction of life. After cultivating enough results, the Earth OnLine game will start to update to a new version and cultivate new players.

This setting sounds a bit nonsense at first glance, and it is actually a bit nonsense.

After all, Su Mo inherited the power and memory of the Black King. In Nidhogg's memory, there was only one reason why he created dragons and the White King, and that was Bloodmourne.

As the source of dragon power, the Black King is the strongest dragon, and he also possesses the strongest Bloodmourne.

The reason why he created the era of dragon rule was just to relieve his loneliness, and he did not intend to promote the explosion of the species.

However, considering the doomsday scene Su Mo just saw, in which the entire earth was almost directly transformed into the state of the mass extinction at the end of the Permian, this hypothesis itself does not seem to be completely unreasonable.

In addition, Su Mo mainly inherited the memory of the Black King who founded the Dragon Clan and used his own power.

As for how this terrifying creature was born, Su Mo really didn't have this memory.

As he continued to explore, the being in front of him spoke.

"A title? Indeed, we do need a title now. Then call us Nidhogg. Nidhogg, the Black King, is dead, and now you are the Black King."

He admitted the identity of Su Mo's new god very frankly, and there was no resentment in his words.

"us?"

Su Mo keenly noticed the problem he claimed to have.

"Who are you referring to? What do you want to do? Is the scene you saw just now real? Do you want to destroy the world?"

Even now, Su Mo couldn't help but feel extremely shocked when he recalled the doomsday scene he had seen before, and how the entire earth was plunged into a vast ocean and washed back and forth by the black tide.

It is said that the world will be destroyed when the four great monarchs wake up, but compared to the tide that floods the world, the so-called doomsday of the four great monarchs is just playing house.

What Nidhogg will set off in front of us is an extreme event that can really destroy the world and cause mass extinction of life!

Not to mention humans, not even dragons could survive the scene Su Mo saw.

Even with the power of Su Mo's current complete Black King, he could not easily cause an apocalypse of this level, let alone successfully prevent it.

How did Nidhogg, who had given up the authority of the Black King, do this?

Facing Su Mo's series of questions, the figures in front of them just shook their heads without answering.

Seeing this, Su Mo, who couldn't force the question, changed the question.

"Then why did you come to me? Is there anything you want to say?"

After hearing what Su Mo said, the figure in front of him finally spoke.

"Do you believe in aliens?"

"?"

Su Mo's head was full of questions.

You called me here just to ask this?

Strange, it sounds familiar.

Seeing that Su Mo didn't answer immediately, the other party didn't care and continued to ask the second question.

"Do you believe that this world has a power other than destiny?"

"?"

After taking a look at his scientific authority, Su Mo remained silent and still did not answer.

The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger.

At this time, the third question was thrown out.

"Do you think the world is materialistic or idealistic?"

"..."

Su Mo finally remembered.

Isn't this the interview question asked by Kassel College when Lu Mingfei joined Kassel College in the original work?

Although there have been changes, the general meaning is still the same.

"What's your answer?"

After telling all the questions, the other party waited for a while and continued to ask.

"I can only say that I currently believe in science. Whether it is element theory or scientific theory, as long as it can stand practice, it is a good theory. If I can find aliens, I will believe in aliens. If I can find the so-called creation god, I will Just believe in God and everything is based on practice.”

Su Mo spread his hands, gave an answer casually, and then asked.

"But why are you asking this question? As the founder of elementalism, are you planning to give up mysticism and turn to philosophy?"

Hearing this, Nidhogg in front of him shook his head.

"No, we just want to know if you believe in love."

"..."

Su Mo was slightly startled.

I want to know why you destroyed the world. You asked me if I believe in love?

One talks about science and the other talks about love, Bai Yue and Li Xiaoyao, right? Does it mean that he occupies the villain position?

I always feel that something is wrong.

"What about your conclusion? The result can be seen through these three questions?"

he still asked curiously.

"You believe in love, and you have the kind of love you believe in."

Nidhogg answered in the affirmative.

"If the love you are talking about is a certain kind of emotion, you are indeed right."

Su Mo nodded and did not refute Nidhogg's conclusion.

He would definitely not be so candid in front of Xia Mi, and not in front of Nidhogg. The discussion between the two was emotionless and basically resembled an academic discussion.

"So why do you want to ask this question, is love important to you?"

Su Mo continued to ask questions, intending to follow the clues and find clues that might lead to the apocalypse.

Faced with this question, Nidhogg did not refuse to respond.

After pondering for a few seconds, he slowly spoke.

"I was betrayed three times and learned that love is an illusion."

"My resistance will never stop."

"One is a companion, my wife, my daughter, who was swayed by greed and betrayed me who gave her everything;"

"The second is the children, my creatures, my hopes, who are swayed by fear and destined to rebel against me who controls everything;"

"The third is fate, my bondage, my past, which gives me eternal impulse, eternal loneliness, and destined despair."

In a tone like a chant, Nidhogg finally revealed his feelings. His inorganic eyes finally glowed a little, and he looked directly at Su Mo.

"Blood Mourning is nothing but a curse given to me by my mother planet, and love is nothing but an illusion created by enslaving me."

"From then on I understood that only death can transcend everything."

"I will abandon everything in the past and gain eternal peace with all things in the world."

After that, the whole place fell silent.

Hello, please pay the copyright fee... No, what I should ask at this time is - what are you talking about?

Su Mo did not ask directly, but interpreted Nidhogg's words based on the memory passed down by the Black King in the bloodline inheritance.

The first two sentences are not important. They probably mean that Nidhogg has locked up his love.

As for the so-called three betrayals, the first one should be the betrayal of the partner, referring to the White King.

In the memory of the Black King, he originally created the White King to find true love, but he did not expect that the White King was eyeing his power and throne and launched a rebellion, which was a huge blow to him at the time;

The second betrayal should refer to the Eight Kings Rebellion.

From the perspective of a bystander, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was clearly caused by Nidhogg himself. Including Lu Mingfei, Frigga, and even the end of the world, everything that happened in the past ten thousand years was actually caused by Nidhogg. Accept the destiny that you actively design.

But from Nidhogg's perspective, he had already peered into the future through the power of fate, and understood that the Eight Kings Rebellion would happen no matter what, and he would inevitably be betrayed by everyone, so he never had hope for his children.

Although it sounds miserable at first, according to Xia Mi, the Black King is destined to destroy the world. If they don’t kill the Black King, they will all die. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Even if they were born by Nidhogg, it does not mean that They must be strangled to death.

On the issue of pure stance, Su Mo naturally stood by Miss Xia Mi unconditionally.

However, at this moment, he did not intend to engage in any futile persuasion. The issue of position could not be resolved through dialogue. He cared more about another point than refutation.

"Isn't your purpose of creating children just to explore the so-called love? At this point, haven't you already succeeded? Why should you be disappointed?"

For Su Mo, who has Nidhogg's memory, he can easily understand Nidhogg's behavior.

Because of Blood Mourning, he was lonely and wanted to find a partner, so he created the White King. The White King's betrayal made him furious and he no longer dared to believe that there was love in the world, so he created the Four Great Monarchs to answer his questions.

The feelings between the four pairs of twins undoubtedly prove the existence of love.

Faced with the food within easy reach and the temptation of being promoted to the divine realm by swallowing their brothers, all the first-generation species resisted. Even Odin would never speak to his brother unless he was forced into a desperate situation.

Their behavior is completely opposite to that of King Bai. If this is not considered love, it is really difficult to find a more pure emotion.

If this kind of love is still limited to twins, there are undoubtedly special cases among the Eight Kings, such as——

"I think Xia Mi is pretty good! Although he is a bit stupid, if he is not stupid, it would be difficult for an intelligent life to like another individual, right?"

When it came to Xia Mi's matter, Su Mo's tone softened a lot unconsciously.

Even from his point of view, this female dragon was a little too easy to deceive, but that was not important now. What was important was that Nidhogg, as the creator, should have received a positive answer at this time.

Although there is some suspicion of love brain, the existence of Miss Shami can indeed prove the existence of so-called "love". Why did Nidhogg later say that love is just a false illusion?

"Xia Mi? Do you mean Jormungandr?"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Nidhogg seemed to have just remembered that there was such a daughter in the dusty corner of his memory. After pondering for a few seconds, he shook his head and said.

"She is a great example and the most successful creation."

"In that case——"

Su Mo's tone was slightly confused.

According to the Black King's memory, Xia Mi was indeed the last sister born. After her birth, the Black King stopped creating new children. This shows that Nidhogg also understood that Xia Mi could indeed answer his questions.

In this case, why did Nidhogg deliberately arrange it, or even change his destiny?

Before Su Mo could ask, Nidhogg shook his head and directly answered his doubts.

"But she's too weak!"

"..."

Su Mo was speechless for a moment, could this be an insult?

"The answer you want has nothing to do with strength, right?"

he asked.

"Of course it's relevant!"

Nidhogg immediately gave a sharp answer.

"Because she is weak, she needs to join the group, so she needs to place her hope in the hands of others. This creates dependence, and treats the other person as a unique existence. This is how love is born in the illusion. It is precisely because of her extreme We are weak, so we can have the purest love."

"..."

So, you made her so weak on purpose, right?

No wonder Xia Mi is so beautiful and so good. The last one born is naturally the most beautiful, but in order to explore the relationship between strength and love, the last one is naturally the weakest one.

Su Mo did not intend to refute Nidhogg's theory, but he still had some doubts about his conclusion.

"So, what you're saying is that the reason no one loves you is because you're too strong?"

He asked so bluntly.

As soon as he said these words, Su Mo noticed that Nidhogg's featureless brow twitched twice, as if he thought his words were impolite, but he didn't care. Anyway, what the old man just said had a profound impact on his family. Mi is also not very polite.

Not everyone is qualified to humiliate Mi.

After being choked by Su Mo's words, Nidhogg was not angry, but nodded proudly.

"That's right! The so-called love is nothing more than the instinct of weak people to hug each other for warmth. After understanding this, I began to ask myself why I longed for this kind of thing. Why was I born with such a powerful Blood Sorrow? This is useless. Where do reversible biological instincts come from?”

"What's the result of reflection?"

Su Mo said patiently.

"It's fate! It's my innate primitive impulse! It's also the permanent shackles that bind me and thousands of lives!"

Nidhogg laid out his conclusion without any concealment.

"As the strongest creature born on the planet, the reason why I feel the sorrow of blood, the reason why I feel lonely, and the reason why I long for love are all rooted in the mission I was born with."

"Because of loneliness, I will inevitably create companions, create civilization, create new species, and add new changes to this world. And according to my original destiny, after I complete my mission, I will die, and what I created Civilization will also be completely destroyed on the doomsday day, and will be recorded as a record in the planetary chronicle."

Here, he revealed new information. In the original fate, even the Black King himself would die.

Everything the dragon civilization represents and everything Nidhogg created is nothing more than a small monument, a small species explosion and a small species extinction in the history of the evolution of life on the planet.

Nidhogg himself was just the tool that started this species explosion.

This ending was already doomed the moment Nidhogg was born with the powerful Bloodmourne, so Nidhogg called it destiny.

Su Mo and Lu Mingze once discussed who set Nidhogg's doomed fate. Now it seems that there may be an answer, and that is the will of the planet itself.

After listening to this, Su Mo finally understood what Nidhogg said about the third betrayal.

It is said to be the third time, but in fact this is the cause of everything. It is a small fluctuation in the general trend of the planet, and it is also the fate that hangs over the entire civilization.

"No wonder you say love is a false illusion. From this perspective, everything you desire is a whip that prompts you to fulfill your destiny. And in order for you to maximize your power for your duties, your desires will never It’s possible to be satisfied, but you’ll never get the love you want.”

It's like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. It's impossible for the donkey to eat it. Otherwise, what will happen if the donkey is full and stops working?

In fact, Nidhogg was even worse than a donkey. A donkey would still be hungry after it was full, and it would be okay to feed him a full meal. Once Nidhogg gets the love he wants, he has nothing else to ask for. What if he is unwilling to continue creating and see the end of destruction?

Now that Nidhogg doesn't get the love he wants, he has already begun to rebel. If he gets it, he will only become crazier.

Hearing that Su Mo fully understood what he meant, Nidhogg's eyes finally became eager.

He stretched out a hand to Su Mo, making a universal solicitation gesture.

"So, Understander, are you willing to be my deputy and help us defeat fate together and get rid of this pale cycle?"

"...Why is it soliciting again?"

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"The benefits... Bah! I mean, is there something special about me?"

I was almost infected by Miss Xia Mi.

Su Mo really didn't understand why Nidhogg recruited him. The White King had a reason to want him to be his deputy. With the power Nidhogg showed in his spiritual vision, even if Su Mo now has the authority of the Black King. , will not be his opponent, what is the point of recruiting?

When Su Mo asked, Nidhogg said bluntly.

"Although you are not an alien, you are from another world. With you leading the way, we might be able to go to your world and break the shackles of more people."

"And in return, you will gain second authority over the tree after me!"

The imperial army is looking for the leading party, right?

Even Lu Mingze knew that he was completely from another world. It was not surprising that Nidhogg knew this. However, Su Mo did not intend to accept this invitation, and the reason was very simple.

"Before that, shouldn't you tell me what you want to do?"

Su Mo asked.

It doesn't matter if you resist fate, but the method of resisting fate is to destroy the world, which is a bit strange.

"And, what do the tree's permissions mean?"

Subconsciously, Su Mo thought of the huge tree that was the only thing growing on the black tide sweeping the world.

Thinking back carefully, there seemed to be many shapes of creatures on the bark of that tree.

Nidhogg was extremely patient with Su Mo, an understander, and he immediately explained.

"In order to crush this fate, in order to allow all life to escape from the constraints of biological instincts. I plan to swallow everything with the tide of life, gather all the will of all life on a huge tree, and from now on there will be no life or death, away from everything. Disaster."

"At that time, I will share the joy of life with all things in the world. Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things will be one with me. There will no longer be the loneliness of blood sorrow, and there will no longer be the despair of destiny."

"I will use the supreme tree of life to reverse all cause and effect in the world!"

At the end, he finally revealed all his thoughts.

Then, he looked at Su Mo expectantly.

"how do you feel?"

"..."

Su Mo was speechless again.

So you really want to destroy the world. Do you still want me to praise you?

After thinking for a while, he asked tactfully.

"Have you ever considered a problem, that is, most of the creatures in the world do not want to share this joy with you?"

"Of course, the vast majority of people will definitely oppose me!"

In this regard, Nidhogg was surprisingly sober.

"However, the fact that they oppose me proves that I have done the right thing! They do not really understand what I mean. They are just afraid of death and resist change because of biological instincts. Their opposition to me proves that they have been influenced by biological instincts. Manipulation, making it impossible to rationally judge good or bad, and even willing to give up the opportunity of eternal life. This biological instinct itself is the embodiment of destiny."

"And since I want to break the shackles of fate, I naturally can't take their thoughts at the mercy of fate seriously. When they really integrate into the tree of life, they no longer need to fear, worry, fight, or fear, then they understand that The pain of biological instincts and the freedom from fate.”

There is no need to involute, no need to worry about social evaluation, no need to worry about life and death, and no excessive desires. I can only feel boundless joy. The future described by Nidhogg is somewhat like heaven or the pure land of Buddhism.

However, since ancient times, the difference between heaven and hell has not been something that ordinary people can see.

Su Mo did not directly evaluate Nidhogg's thoughts, but continued to ask.

"What if someone supports you?"

"That just means I did the right thing."

Nidhogg replied.

"There are always creatures in the world who can see through the shackles of fate and become my understanders, willing to build the tree of life with me."

"..."

Su Mo had nothing to say.

Regardless of whether you object or not, you did the right thing, 360-degree defense with no dead ends, right?

However, he didn't think that Nidhogg would give up his ideas easily. He was an extremely egoistic existence. From his birth to the present, he had never had the habit of obeying the will of others. Even for Su Mo, he only valued Su Mo. He's just a person from another world, so he doesn't really listen to his ideas.

"How about, do you want to be my deputy? Or do you think there is something wrong with the future I created?"

While Su Mo was thinking, Nidhogg asked again. Obviously, there was only one result he could accept.

Seeing the extremely self-centered look in the other person's eyes, Su Mo thought for a moment and said.

"I can't judge whether your idea is good or bad, but I have a very important question to ask you."

"what is the problem?"

"Isn't it really because no one loves you that you are having trouble and want to destroy the world?"

Su Mo used as tactful a tone as possible to say extremely heart-wrenching words.

"——!"

The moment he blurted out these words, Nidhogg's expression immediately changed.

Even if you can't see the expression on his face, you can still see the anger surging in his chest.

"It seems that you are going to refuse, then I'll see you at the end of the day!"

Thunderous anger burst out, and the other party unilaterally cut off the conversation.

Su Mo's consciousness also returned to his body.

Recalling Nidhogg's last outburst of intense emotions, Su Mo couldn't help but feel curious.

Is this because he is angry because he thinks I underestimated his style, or is he really being offended by me?

Sorry for the late update. It’s mainly because it’s hard to break up the chapter. It’s almost two chapters long.
