I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 656 The Ancient War, the Water God Reveals the Secret

Jiang Chen didn't quite understand the relationship between the gods.

However, it can be deduced from the water god's words that the relationship between the gods is both simple and complex.

The various factions are clearly defined, with the Water God being the leading figure among the water elements.

It can be said that all the water elemental gods are her subordinates.

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised when he heard this information.

"you."

Jiang Chen was surprised that the Water God's strength was not as great as he had imagined.

Why is the leader of a powerful lineage of gods merely a low-level deity, not even a mid-level one? The Water God guessed Jiang Chen's thoughts and smiled slightly, "Do you think I'm weak?"

Jiang Chen did not deny it, "Indeed, as the head of a god of an elemental system, he is a bit weak."

The water god laughed, and with that laugh, a myriad of flowers bloomed, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

A gentle voice slowly rang out, "You are very honest, which is good. We were just as honest with you human professionals back then, which is why we were able to achieve final victory."

“We, the five elemental gods of wind, water, fire, electricity, and light, shouldn’t be this weak. Unfortunately, at the very beginning of the great war, we were stripped of our power, our divine status fell, and we became low-ranking gods.”

"Otherwise, this battle wouldn't have been so difficult."

Jiang Chen was puzzled. "Who stripped me of my power?"

The water god gently shook his head. "I don't know. Nobody knows. We don't know who did it, or what method they used. Anyway, we've fallen from our pedestal."

"Then guess what level we were at in the beginning."

The Water God seemed to relax a bit at this point and even started joking with Jiang Chen.

She was in excellent condition, calm and composed, as if she didn't care at all about the passing of her life.

In fact, Jiang Chen knew that what she should do now was to continue sleeping.

That way she can live for many, many more years.

Thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years is not a problem.

However, the water goddess did not want to sleep; she wanted to talk and chat.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, "You guys should have been at the God-level back then."

The Water Goddess chuckled softly, "You're very clever; you actually guessed correctly." She wasn't surprised, as if she had expected Jiang Chen to guess it all along.

The hierarchy of deities is such that after the higher deities come the great gods.

A being on the same level as a god or a near-god among humans.

After the Great God, they are also called Super Gods, equivalent to the Super Gods of the human race.

It means that one has surpassed the ordinary level of a god and reached another realm.

Jiang Chen wasn't just guessing randomly; he had solid evidence to back it up.

Why would a mysterious entity target these leaders of the elemental gods?

Moreover, the Water God said that if they were still strong, this battle wouldn't have been so difficult.

How could someone who can become the head of a lineage of gods be weak?

The Heavenly Mountain Gods weren't targeted, but they were. Therefore, there's only one answer: they are stronger than the Gods, existing on the same level as human super-gods.

Jiang Chen said, "Can you tell me what exactly happened back then?"

The Water God looked at Jiang Chen and said, "You really want to know? We made an agreement with the human race to bury this matter in history, and only those who have reached the level of a great god can know about it."

"Although you are quite strong, your level is still too low. Knowing this too early will not do you any good."

"It might damage your confidence."

Jiang Chen replied just as earnestly, "I've heard similar things many times. Ever since I first entered the Vulcan instance and discovered this secret, I've been searching for it."

"I really want to know the answer, to know everything that happened back then."

"Don't worry about it affecting me, I'm very strong. I've met many strong people, from this world and from outside of it. For example, Antares, you should have heard of that name."

Jiang Chen took out Antares's dragon scales, which carried Antares's aura. He believed the water god would recognize them.

Antares has existed for a very long time, dating back to the last era, and possibly even longer.

Antares also witnessed that great battle, but he refused to talk about it.

It was intentional; they just wanted to make Jiang Chen feel frustrated.

Jiang Chen asked many times, but Antares always dodged the question. Finally, Jiang Chen got fed up and decided not to ask anymore.

When the water god saw the dragon scales, his eyes gleamed slightly. "You actually managed to obtain the master's token. You are truly remarkable."

"Alright, even if you want to know, I'll tell you."

Jiang Chenxin was slightly pleased; after searching for so long, he could finally get an answer. The Water God pointed to the courtyard outside, "You saw all those ice sculptures in the three courtyards you came in, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "I see them. The ones in the middle should be the enemy. I also see wild beasts. The first and third courtyards are occupied by gods and human professionals, respectively, who are launching an attack on the enemy."

With a beautiful smile, the Water God's voice, clear and crisp like a drop of water falling to the ground, said, "Your understanding is correct. That is indeed the case. When they invaded, we joined forces with the human race to fight them."

“We, several gods at the super-god level, have been stripped of our power and fallen from our pedestals to become inferior gods.”

"I was too exhausted to fight, so I made an ice sculpture to record what happened at the time."

"If you have reached the level of a god, that is, half a step into godhood, you can obtain all the information from the ice sculpture at that time."

"This way, even if I have already perished, this information will still be known to people."

The water goddess was prepared; even if she perished and died completely, someone would eventually discover this place and obtain the relevant information.

The water god slowly recounted what had happened back then.

This history should be buried, yet it shouldn't be buried.

This is a global catastrophe for the entire world.

Not just humans, not just gods, but the entire world.

At that time, foreign enemies invaded, and the world was in peril.

The strongest gods were stripped of their power and fell from their pedestals, suffering a significant loss of strength.

Humanity has only one transcendent being, who is unable to shoulder the responsibility.

The level of this great battle is too high; those qualified to participate must be at least at the god level.

Lower-level gods are merely cannon fodder.

From the very beginning of the battle, both the gods and humans were on the defensive and suffered heavy losses. If this continued, the humans and gods would undoubtedly lose, and the destruction of the world was imminent.

The world's will began to recover.

As the world's will revives, the world's power begins to stir.

The world's will has no thought, only instinct.

It instinctively sensed the danger.

Under the influence of the world's power, many geniuses have emerged among the human race, and a large number of those who have changed professions have become gods.

True geniuses achieve advanced godhood, a step closer to godhood.

In just a few years, more than ten super-gods have emerged.

At that time, only wild beasts invaded, and the human race had already figured out the wild beasts' strengths and weaknesses, so the battles went more and more smoothly.

The great war finally developed in a direction favorable to both humans and gods.

Just then, a second intruder appeared. The second intruder was called the Zerg.

Their arrival changed the course of the battle.

The entire battlefield became more dangerous and more bizarre.

This great war lasted for a century, exhausting the world's power and causing the world's will to fall back into slumber.

After paying an extremely heavy price, the human race barely managed to achieve a final victory.

Unfortunately, the world was wrecked.

The gods were almost all dead; those who survived were severely injured and fell into a deep sleep.

All the human race's super-gods and half-step super-gods were killed in battle, leaving only one high-level god, who was also critically injured and dying.

The world's power has been exhausted, and it's unknown how long it will take to recover.

The lineage of professionals has been interrupted, and the recovery of world power is slow. Without the support of world power, it has become extremely difficult for the human race to produce outstanding individuals.

But at least we won, and the human race will have plenty of time to recuperate.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived, possibly due to the destruction of the world's barriers during the great war.

Only a century after the end of the great war, the Abyss and the Dragon Realm descended simultaneously.

Humanity is once again in crisis.

However, now, the human race has finally survived and is becoming stronger and stronger.

The world's power is also recovering, and more and more geniuses are beginning to emerge.

Although it cannot yet compare to its peak, as long as there is no further crisis like that, the human race will definitely be able to fully recover.

After listening to the Water God's account, Jiang Chen asked, "Antares should have been there too, right? Didn't it make a move?" If Antares didn't, Jiang Chen planned to go back and give it a piece of his mind. That damned thing.

The Water God said, "The Lord has taken action. If it weren't for the Lord, the final outcome of the battle would be uncertain."

"But the adults also said that there are concerns, and it should not be done lightly."

Jiang Chen also had some guesses about Antares's concerns. It seemed that Antares had been thrown here by the Dragon God.

Anyway, it wasn't Antares who wanted to come.

There were some things Antares would rather die than tell, and Jiang Chen was too lazy to ask any more questions.

He now has a general idea of ​​what happened.

Do you know who is trying to invade our territory?

Jiang Chen went straight to the heart of the battle: since we've already started fighting, we should at least figure out who the enemy is.

The water god sighed and shook his head. "I don't know. The world was on the verge of collapse, everyone was dead, and yet we don't even know who the enemy is. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Antares doesn't know either?"

"The adults know, but they can't say it."
