The Restrictions on Gods

Xu Xingyu coldly watched Chen Long'ao, who was terrified and fleeing with all his might, then casually waved his hand, Thousand-Degree Fire God behind him vanished at that moment.

Only the burning earth and trees, and the still intense heat, can prove that the fire giant once existed.

Xu Xingyu couldn't just leave the burning earth and forests unattended; no natural environment should be treated this way.

Xu Xingyu began to form hand seals, and water elements condensed with his movements. Soon, the white clouds obscured by black smoke turned gloomy, and then raindrops began to fall from the sky the instant he completed the hand seals.

A storm swept through the forest. The flames left by the Thousand-Degree Fire God were still burning, but the raindrops falling in this storm were no ordinary raindrops.

The purity of the water element contained within it is comparable to the fire element of the Thousand-Degree Fire God that Xu Xingyu previously condensed.

About five or six minutes later, the flames left by the Thousand-Degree Fire God were completely extinguished, and Xu Xingyu was able to stop the heavy rain, allowing the sky to return to its original clear state.

After that, a green light separated from Xu Xingyu, and Buer's figure reappeared. Xu Xingyu nodded to Buer, and she knew what she had to do.

Buer looked at the trees and vegetation that had been destroyed by the war. Although this was not the Douluo Plane, she was still willing to contribute her strength to the plants here.

A large amount of wood element began to converge towards Buer. She clenched her hands in a gesture similar to prayer, her emerald green eyes began to glow, and a warm and pure green energy emanated from her body, forming a green and white sanctuary.

This sanctuary-like domain slowly expanded outwards, and the land, trees, and vegetation covered by it began to regain their vitality.

Tiny new shoots sprouted from the scorched earth, the injured bark gradually healed, and branches and leaves began to grow back, as if nourished by new life.

The grass and trees on the ground gradually turned lush and green, with vibrant light shimmering among the blades of grass.

After doing all this, Buer smiled at Xu Xingyu and then transformed into a beam of green light, merging into his body.

Seeing this miraculous sight, the Forest Demon all knelt down and worshipped the newly appeared Buer as the incarnation of the Goddess of Nature, and began to offer various prayers and supplications to her.

Ji Dong was relieved to see that the Forest Demon had recovered some of their strength. Even if Chen Long'ao still dared to lead the remaining members of the Extermination Legion of the Eastern Wood Empire, they had enough time to complete the migration of the Forest Demon race to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Once the Forest Demon successfully migrate to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Extermination Legion and the Golden Eagle Merchant Association Guild will no longer be able to do anything to the Forest Demon. You should know that he had previously made arrangements with the Vermilion Bird, the ruler of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, to take care of the Forest Demon. In exchange Forest Demon Spirits must take good care of the forests of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and provide Source of Life for healing.

What frustrated Ji Dong was that these Forest Demon always attributed any good thing to the blessing of the Goddess of Nature. Although Ji Dong disliked commenting on other people's beliefs, what was the point of worshiping a god who did nothing in crucial moments?!

"Since you call yourself a god, even if you don't expect to be omnipotent, you should at least take action to protect your followers! A god who does nothing has no reason to be believed in!"

"Sigh, Ji Dong, you must understand that even gods have their own difficulties." Xu Xingyu had appeared beside Ji Dong without him noticing, and only then did Ji Dong realize that he had just spoken his innermost thoughts aloud.

However, Xu Xingyu's words made Ji Dong frown. "Gods have difficulties? No matter how difficult they are, they should at least fulfill their duties as gods! Is there any point in a god existing if they can't even fulfill their duties?"

Since witnessing Xu Xingyu and Lie Yan's transaction in the Earth Core World, Ji Dong is no longer the clueless greenhorn who knows nothing about gods. He now knows that so-called gods are just people with greater power.

But precisely because of this, shouldn't they be even more committed to fulfilling their responsibilities?

Xu Xingyu could only shake her head and say, "Gods can only interfere with the development of the plane they inhabit after they have just become gods. After a year in the Divine Realm, they must ascend to the Divine Realm and can no longer interfere with the lower realms. This is the rule of the Divine Realm."

"Can't interfere with the lower realm? Why should we?" Ji Dong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Xingyu unconsciously looked up at the sky, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, "To answer this question, you must first know why gods are called gods?"

"I think you also know that so-called gods are just people with greater strength. But why do these people dare to call themselves gods? This is because, simply put, the so-called God Level is a power so great that even the plane itself cannot suppress it, and it can even contend for the power of the plane's own laws."

"Such an existence is not good for the plane, because the more powerful the god, the stronger the power of the laws they control. If a god interferes with the lower realm for a long time, they will not only completely take away the laws that are the same as their own, but also destroy the plane's ability to maintain its ecology."

"There was once a god named Sea God who, due to his overwhelming power, completely controlled the ocean of his plane. Even after he ascended to the Divine Realm, the plane was still unable to regain control of the ocean. This caused the ecosystem of that plane to become somewhat out of control, and the plane's energy began to decline, ultimately leading to the plane becoming extremely weak, and it was only a matter of time before it became a dead star."

"Therefore, in order to prevent God Level powerhouses from causing irreparable damage to the plane, the unique space of the Divine Realm exists to house and manage the gods. Only when God Level crisis occurs in the lower realms will the powerhouses of the Divine Realm make an exception and descend to save the world's beings."

"This... but according to you, when the gods first became gods, they could still interfere with the mortal realm, right? Then why didn't the Goddess of Nature take measures to protect her followers before she left?"

After listening to Xu Xingyu's words, Ji Dong began to understand the God Level realm better. However, he was still somewhat resentful of the Goddess of Nature's inaction. In his view, if she had made sufficient preparations before ascending to the Divine Realm, she could have protected her people. Why would she be being hunted down for the Source of Life like this?

Xu Xingyu simply replied, "Why do you think she didn't take any precautions?"

"Well?"
