Chapter 341 [Holy Spirit]

Holy Spirit World, Parliament of Gods.

In order to cope with the end of the sun, the gods temporarily declared a ceasefire and signed a covenant to stop attacking each other. Instead, they formed a parliament to discuss how to survive the end of the world.

In order to be "fair", the Speaker of the Parliament is the Suzaku god who has no subjects or country.

Although all the gods knew that Suzaku and the crazy snake had a close relationship and would definitely take extra care of the Holy Spirit Empire, they had no choice but to accept it because the bird and the snake were the most capable gods and could join hands to start a doomsday before the end of the sun came.

The situation is stronger than God.

What's more, this parliament was originally led by Suzaku. No matter in terms of qualifications or strength, he is the most suitable god chosen.

Besides, actually, as long as that crazy snake doesn't serve as the Speaker of the Parliament and hold the power, everyone can accept other situations.

"Orochi, you seem to be worried about something."

After a new round of fruitless council dispersed, Suzaku exchanged a few words with a few familiar gods. Seeing the giant snake leave alone, he hurriedly chased after it: "Are you worried about the end of the world?"

"Ah."

The giant snake nodded silently, climbed up a hill, coiled up habitually, put its chin on the tip of its tail, and looked at the setting sun in the distance: "Among all the countries, the Holy Spirit Empire has the largest number of people. Once the end of the world comes, they will have no hope of survival."

"Not just them. If the gods' perceptions in the past few years were correct, you would also be implicated by the Holy Spirit's people." Suzaku stood beside him, shook his feathers, and said, "Don't you realize that some gods are consciously starting to control the number of their people?"

"……Found."

The giant snake was a little annoyed, and it picked up its tail and swung it aside. "The end of the world is approaching, and the world barrier will be affected. They plan to wait until the barrier is at its weakest, and then take their people to escape from the Holy Spirit World."

There is nothing wrong with doing this, and it is a bit cowardly, but no matter who it is, it is unreasonable to demand that a god and his people must live and die with the world.

Zhuque glanced at him and said, "If they were just reducing the population, it would be the same as you said. However, those gods are not just reducing the population. They are exchanging their people."

"exchange?"

The giant snake was stunned for a moment, then it thought of something, and anger appeared in its eyes: "What are they going to do?!"

"What else can they do? If the gods want to tear open the barrier and escape from this world, besides the right timing, the choice of their people is also crucial."

Zhuque said casually, "They don't intend to live and die with their people, nor do they intend to take risks with some burdens. What they have to do is naturally to sacrifice all their people. This will not only increase the success rate of escape, but also allow them to have a full meal before leaving. It's killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it?"

"Those are all people who believe in them!"

"So what about my people? Great Snake, do you think all gods are like you, foolishly wanting to give their people everything they can?"

Zhuque seemed to smile and said, "After all, you may be the only god in this world who thinks this way, so everyone calls you Crazy Snake."

"I do not believe……"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"how about you?"

The giant snake was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Suzaku with a serious look in his eyes: "What do you think?"

"Me? I don't have any people." Suzaku lowered his eyes, avoiding the giant snake's gaze: "From the beginning, I felt that those weak and noisy humans were not interesting to me."

“But you were originally human.”

"So what? I was originally a human. Does that have anything to do with why I hate humans after becoming a god?"

"..."

The giant snake didn't know what to say. It turned its head sullenly and looked at the setting sun in the distance. After a long while, it uttered a muffled sound from its nose: "Oh."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. The snake and the bird looked at the sunset, each with different emotions in their hearts.

Until the last ray of afterglow faded, Suzaku seemed to come back to his senses, flapped his wings, stood in a more comfortable position, and said lazily: "Snake, are you still having those strange dreams recently?"

"Yeah, and it's happening more and more frequently."

The giant snake nodded and sighed: "More and more characters are appearing."

"It's not just those two pretty girls?" Zhuque turned around in surprise, looked up and down at the giant snake, and joked, "I didn't expect that you, a dead snake, are so fickle." "Can we have a good chat?"

The giant snake's face turned black, and it wanted to open its mouth and swallow the crazy bird in one gulp. However, when it thought that it would have to spit it out and its tongue might get burned, it gave up the idea in disappointment.

"Okay, then tell me what you dreamed about."

Suzaku is quick to follow good advice.

"It's still those two girls, one with blond hair and one with blue hair..."

"I know, I know. The blonde is called Ying, and the blue-haired is called Ye Lan. Because you did something bad, they are hunting you all over the world—and in more than one world. Can you tell me something new?"

"That's not called hunting! That's called... called... Tsk, I can't explain it to you clearly."

The giant snake swung its tail and almost turned itself into a rattlesnake: "The dreams I had recently were quite strange. It seemed like I ran to a place for something, and then somehow bit off a tree."

"A tree? You like to eat vegetarian food in your dream?"

Zhuque was surprised. "I remember you told a story before. There seemed to be a reptile that gnawed on tree roots. What was it called?"

"The black dragon Nighold is a dragon, not a reptile." The giant snake corrected with a helpless expression: "Also, He is chewing the World Tree, not the roots."

"Hmm... isn't it different?"

"…Let's change the subject."

"No problem. Let's talk about the tree you were chewing in your dream. Why did you chew the tree?"

"It seems like... an accident?"

The giant snake was somewhat bewildered, and its expression suddenly became dazed. It mumbled in its sleep, "They were very nervous. A troublemaker came and we started fighting..."

The night wind gradually died down, the air became stagnant, and everything between heaven and earth seemed to be frozen, and then shattered like a mirror the next moment.

Zhuque's eyes were calm as he watched the world shatter into pieces. All the light was torn apart as if thrown into a black hole, and then reassembled in the next moment to form a new picture.

Tsk, it’s still not awake. This dead snake is such a trouble… Zhuque sighed, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he knew the time point of this new dream, and his eyelids couldn’t help but droop.

"Big Bird! Big Bird!"

Smoke and dust came from afar, and the giant snake rushed to Suzaku, its eyes anxious, and its pupils even had a hint of scarlet: "They want to run, they really want to sacrifice all their people and then escape!"

"This is their business, Big Snake. We have no right to interfere. You should understand that." Suzaku looked at him and said softly, "So, what else did they do?"

The end of the sun is approaching. This is the craziest and darkest moment in the Holy Spirit World. In order to survive, countless gods will not hesitate to transform into real "mad gods".

"They... because they don't have enough people, they started to rob the people of the Holy Spirit!"

The giant snake's eyes were even more bloodshot, and its scales were broken in several places, with blood spilling out. It was obvious that it had just experienced a hard battle: "The Holy Spirit Empire is too big, and I can't stop them alone. I just killed a few, but the end is getting closer and closer, and they will soon attack again. Help me! Help me, Suzaku!"

"I will help you, Orochi." Suzaku seemed to be smiling: "Well, tell me first, what do you want to do?"

“I…” The giant snake lowered its head and remained silent for a few seconds. When it raised its head again, its pupils were already full of scarlet, like a ferocious evil spirit: “I will eat them! Whoever dares to hurt my people, I will eat him!”

"very good."

The Suzaku was extremely happy. He spread his wings, hovered over the giant snake, and laughed, "Let's go eat them up together, big snake!"

When the end of the world comes, God will no longer be God.

Many gods devoured their followers in order to survive, just to gain a little more life. However, most gods could not achieve the desired effect even if they devoured their followers, so they turned their attention to the Holy Spirit Empire.

Under the rule of the Mad God, there is the largest empire in the world, and the quality of its people is excellent.

The gods were ready to take action, and the giant snake fought back fiercely.

After this battle, only one in ten gods survived, and the Holy Spirit Empire took in countless refugees, completely becoming the number one country. The world was thus renamed [Holy Spirit].
