The Growth of a God

Chapter 345 - 15: God of Civilization Raphael

"To be remembered by a foreigner who brings calamity, truly is my honor."

The twisted face showed no expression, yet a faint smile was evident in the voice of Cui Weng.

If one wasn’t aware, it would be hard to imagine that just moments ago, Cui Weng was glaring angrily at Owo, trapped beneath the roots of the Tree of Life.

"Meng Ji, is that your name?"

Seeing Meng Ji appear somewhat surprised, Cui Weng continued to speak.

"We are not enemies, and there has never been a need for us to become enemies."

"The battle with you was a misunderstanding; none of us expected you would be the Savior summoned by the ’Spirit of Nature’.

Truth be told, even now, many demigods, including Cui Weng, find it hard to believe that Meng Ji could be the savior summoned by the ’Spirit of Nature’.

After all, Meng Ji was so ruthless and cold-hearted in the past, with no intention of extensive communication with the demigods of this world.

Until Owo betrayed and ambushed Meng Ji, and consumed the Fruit of Life of the Tree of Life alone.

Only then did the demigods of this world realize they had been targeting the wrong objective from the start.

The monster foretold in the "prophecy of the Master of Cui Lu" to devour the Tree of Life was the little creature that had always been by Meng Ji’s side.

"Now calling it a misunderstanding?"

"Isn’t it a bit too late?"

Meng Ji didn’t care about her experiences before losing memory; what concerned her more was the reason for Cui Weng appearing before her.

It wasn’t that Meng Ji held bias against the primordial demigods of this world, but the malice Cui Weng displayed before appearing was too obvious.

As the saying goes, if someone is unusually attentive, they are either a traitor or a thief.

Meng Ji deeply understood that for someone like Cui Weng, who always looked a few steps ahead, even a trivial detail might lead her into their trap.

"Indeed, it’s a bit late, but I believe that most misunderstandings in this world can be resolved through conversation and communication."

Not discouraged by Meng Ji’s indifference, Cui Weng continued to smile and speak.

"Savior chosen by the ’Spirit of Nature’...."

"No matter what misunderstandings lie between us, our goals are ultimately the same."

"If you listen to my explanation, you’ll understand our rashness and... xenophobia."

After a slight pause, Drunken Weng eventually chose the word "xenophobia," which did not carry much hostility, to summarize the series of past conflicts.

"Then let’s hear it!"

"I’m actually quite curious about what has happened in this world."

From Owo, Meng Ji only knew that a divine war had once occurred in this world, a war between Outer Gods and Native Gods.

The ultimate result was the ’Lord Cangbai’ cursed this world as a Native God...

While the Outer God Raphael planted the Tree of Life, pulling this fractured world back from the brink of destruction.

As for herself?

She seemed to have been brought into this world by the "Spirit of Nature" mentioned by Cui Weng—as a "Savior."

However, due to various unexpected incidents and her personality.

She not only did not walk the usual "savior’s path" but instead had conflicts with Cui Weng and other primordial demigods of this world.

Meng Ji is now very curious, what truly happened in this world’s past?

As primordial demigods who retained reason and wisdom, what roles did Cui Weng and the few others play within?

.........................................................

The war between the Six-winged Angel Raphael and Native Divine Spirits was truly not as simple as Owo described.

Raphael indeed brought civilization to this world.

And the conflict between him and the Native Gods never ceased from the moment of his descent.

Even in the lifespan of gods, it was a considerably long time.

During this period, conflicts between the Native Gods and Raphael intensified, ultimately leading to a counterattack under the leadership of the ’Lord Cangbai’.

However, Raphael was not fighting alone.

Over this long period, Raphael not only cultivated his own angels and demigods, but even a significant portion of the Native God chose to join his camp.

The "Master of Cui Lu" was one of them and a first-generation divine being as powerful as the "Lord Cangbai".

Unfortunately, as the intensity of the war prolonged, the gods from both camps felt increasingly the cruelty of the war.

Out of self-preservation and the desire to escape this endless despair...

The majority of the gods chose to leave this world, leaving only a few gods insisting on staying.

Then, what happened next was pretty much as Meng Ji learned from Owo.

The "Lord Cangbai" cast a curse, severing the hope of this world...

While Raphael planted the Tree of Life and single-handedly reconstructed this fragmented world...

The "Master of Cui Lu," who inherited Raphael’s will, left a prophecy and a way for the world’s rebirth in his final moments...

According to the prophecy left by the "Master of Cui Lu," the Tree of Life would bear the Fruit of Life.

And the Six-winged Blazing Angel Raphael would be reborn from the Fruit of Life, eventually sealing the remnant will of the "Lord Cangbai," eradicating his curse from this world.

However, an Evil Dragon would covet the Fruit of Life before Raphael completed his rebirth.

The mission of Cui Weng and the other demigods was to guard the Tree of Life and the Fruit of Life until Raphael’s true rebirth.

"So, you failed in the end!"

A trace of realization flashed across Meng Ji’s face as she spoke affirmatively.

Owo’s betrayal and secretly consuming the Fruit of Life indirectly verified the prophecy of the "Master of Cui Lu."

"No, we have not completely failed..."

Shaking his head, denying Meng Ji’s statement, Cui Weng’s eyes were filled with firm determination.

"I and the other demigods of this world gave our all to imprison that Evil Dragon beneath the Tree of Life."

"The Tree of Life will gradually absorb the life essence of that Evil Dragon and eventually grow a new Fruit of Life on its crown."

In response, Meng Ji merely sneered.

"Is that all it is?"

"You only told a part of the truth, concealing more crucial keys."

"For instance, what exactly is the ’Spirit of Nature’?"

"And how did Dark Lives like Xiaohai come into existence?"

"These things you haven’t mentioned, not even a word. This doesn’t seem like resolving a misunderstanding, does it?"
