Chapter 1224 The beginning of the battle of the gods!
3000 years ago, the armistice treaty between the gods was signed, and the signatories were Augustus III, the then emperor of the Dawn Empire, and Gregory I, the high priest of the Temple of the Lord of Dawn.

This treaty, considered a peace treaty, reads as follows:

Article [-], the two sides agreed to a complete truce, and the Temple of the Lord of Dawn is not allowed to incite the people to attack any gods of the gods;

Article [-], any pantheon believed by the royal family of the Dawn Empire is not allowed to incite believers to attack the Temple of the Lord of Dawn;

Article [-]. The two sides maintain the existing spheres of influence and are not allowed to change the existing pattern.

Article [-]: The rights of the Dawn Empire must be safeguarded. From the date of signing the treaty, the territory of the empire can no longer be divided or separated in any form, and the sovereignty of all territories belongs to the empire.

Article [-]: What belongs to the gods belongs to the gods, and what belongs to the mortal world belongs to the mortal world. Officials of the empire are not allowed to intervene in the disputes between the major gods, and the gods are not allowed to interfere in any government affairs, military affairs and diplomacy of the empire.

Article [-]: The empire takes back the three provinces that were separated because of their belief in the Lord of the Dawn.

According to the general history of this royal secret biography, the imperial family was very happy to sign this agreement.After all, judging from these six treaties, the empire has gained the most benefits, and it has also recovered several territories, getting rid of any gods that hinder the empire.

And the gods of the major gods who were exhausted by the Lord of Dawn did not object to this agreement, thinking that this treaty might be able to maintain a long-term peace.

But in fact, in Zhou Chen's view, once these six peace treaties are signed, they will basically determine the ultimate demise of the imperial family and the major gods that the imperial family believes in.

And what determines this point is the fifth article in the treaty - what belongs to the gods belongs to the gods, and what belongs to the mortal world belongs to the mortal world. The imperial officials are not allowed to intervene in the disputes between the major gods.

You must know that the reason why the gods of the major gods can go back and forth with the Temple of the Lord of Dawn is because of the absolute support of the imperial family and nobles.

The royal family and nobles monopolized magic, vindictiveness and military power, and barely gained the upper hand in the face of the Temple of Dawn, which had the support of the majority of civilians.

But the fifth article of the treaty directly severed the relationship between the major gods and the imperial family.

From the day the treaty was signed, these gods who were later identified as heresy and evil gods did not receive any form of support from the royal family, including military, political and economic support.

However, the Temple of Dawn can still get the support of the majority of civilians. Moreover, the teachings of the Temple of Dawn have also allowed its power to expand more rapidly, and the major gods that have always taken the upper-level route are rapidly gaining in this seemingly peaceful competition. defeated.

The imperial family, on the other hand, lived very comfortably in this kind of life without the restraint of gods, and became more and more depraved.

So, after thousands of years of development, more than 60 years ago, in that time known as the Year of Disaster, the Temple of Dawn, which had spread its tentacles all over the continent, blatantly tore up the agreement and launched a crusade against all other gods , and classify all gods who disobey the Lord of Dawn as heretics!
And the first to bear the brunt of the misfortune were the several major gods standing behind the imperial family and nobles.

The Olympus gods, the Junora gods, the Feathered Serpent gods...the entire seven state religion gods were defeated in the crusade against the Lord of Dawn.

The temples of these gods were completely destroyed, the priests, magicians, and knights who served the gods were massacred, and their existence on the mainland was wiped out, and those nobles, big and small, were also in the shrine of dawn. Under the coercion of the secret, they changed their beliefs, and they all believed in the great Lord of Dawn.

Without temples, god statues, and believers, the power of the gods of the major gods has declined, and some weak gods have been extinguished directly, turning into mortals, and falling from the kingdom of gods to the earth.

And more gods are united to bring the Kingdom of God closer together in an attempt to resist the Lord of Dawn.

But obviously, they should have failed, otherwise the Olympus pantheon would not have been wiped out.And the end of other gods should not be better than the Olympus gods.

Afterwards, the imperial family saw that the gods behind them were all cold, so they could only hold their noses to admit it, and reluctantly converted to the Lord of Dawn, and accepted the conditions of the Temple of Dawn with extreme humiliation—from now on Afterwards, each emperor of the empire must send one of his children to the headquarters of the Temple of Dawn in Mount Hailar to receive the teachings of the divine scriptures!

Not only that, when each emperor came to the throne, he had to accept the canonization of the temple, and the high priest personally put the crown on the emperor.

This was clearly to let the temple ride on the head of the imperial family, but the form was stronger than the people. The emperor at that time, who was also the grandfather of Helen's grandfather, endured the humiliation and accepted it.

Then the old man, who was already in his prime, kicked his legs and passed away within a few days after returning to the palace after negotiating a new treaty with the temple.

This is not over. After defeating most of the gods and making the imperial royal family submit, the Temple of the Lord of Dawn is obviously full of ambitions.They no longer called the leader of the temple the High Priest, but the Son of God!
As soon as this news came out, Grandpa Helen's father, who was also the son of the old man who was pissed off, was so angry that he died within a few years of his enthronement.

Two emperors died one after another within a few years, which naturally caused the hearts of the royal family and nobles to fluctuate. Many princes and princesses jumped out to fight for the throne under the instigation of many dark villains. , quickly withered...

By the time Helen's grandfather, William XVII, who is known as the iron-blooded emperor, succeeded to the throne, more than 90 princes and daughters, as well as collateral blood of the royal family, had lost their heads. ,Run out.

So much so that after William XVII became emperor, he didn’t even have a saint-level powerhouse around him. If Emperor Odysseus had not left many powerful and precious artifacts, William XVII would have been killed by assassins long ago. .

The Jagged Emperor has ruled for more than half a century. In the past half century, under the suppression of the temple, the royal family has become weaker and weaker. independent again.

However, William XVII's title of Iron-Blooded Emperor did not come for nothing.Facing the chaos in the empire, he first used the wealth and prestige accumulated by the imperial family for thousands of years to establish ten legions, each with 5 people, known as the central army, which belonged directly to the royal family.

Immediately afterwards, he set up a dark guard on top of the intelligence system possessed by the empire itself, which infiltrated the entire Dawn Empire, and even the entire continent.

Then, William XVII promoted civilians without sticking to one pattern. Many important ministers and powerful men of the empire were promoted by William.

That fat man Scott was promoted to Lord of Niveda City by Helen's father, Edward VII, because of this system.

In the end, William desperately gave birth to children. He gave birth to more than 30 children in his life. There were only three legitimate children, most of whom were illegitimate children.

These illegitimate children do not have the right to inherit the throne, but because they have royal blood, they are also particularly loyal to the royal family.

And Edward VII after William, also took good care of these brothers and sisters. These William's illegitimate children were assigned to some important positions, and they advanced and retreated with the royal family. Now the royal family can barely manage in this precarious situation Supported, the role of these so-called "dishonored descendants of William" is very great.

For example, John Douglas, who was canonized as the Duke of Fairy Lake by Edward VII, is actually the illegitimate son of William the Great, and he and Edward VII are half brothers who have played since childhood.

This Duke John, with outstanding military exploits, once used [-] troops to defeat the more than [-] troops of the Teutonic Kingdom, which is known as a barbaric country, and killed them all.

Moreover, this Duke John is still a cultivation genius. He became the most powerful holy knight among the knights before he was 40 years old. He was nicknamed the Lake Light Sword Master. The holy shield is one of the important reliance for the royal family to dare to contend with the church.

However, even after 60 years of hard work by Iron Blood William and the current Edward VII, the empire is still weakening, but the power of the royal family is constantly recovering, but the recovery is limited.

In Zhou Chen's view, the royal family's struggle was actually futile, because they had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.

The strength of the Lord of Dawn is at least a superpower above the seventh level of the system. In the Great Thousand World, he is the Supreme Being of Heaven.

What's more, even if the Lord of Dawn is the supreme heavenly saint, Zhou Chen will not be surprised even if his strength is still above the holy rank.

After all, the Lord of Dawn has defeated so many gods, devoured so many gods, gods, and gods, and the number of believers is almost innumerable. He also stole the most important sun god on the mainland. Like spy satellites hanging in the sky to look at the ground, it's normal for such an awesome guy to be stronger.

This kind of strong man who has gone beyond the comprehension of mortals is not something that the royal family of Dawn Empire can contend with.It really pissed off the Lord of Dawn, who stretched out a finger from the Kingdom of God, and could completely crush the entire Dawn Empire.

Those Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World, especially the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns, which ones will destroy one or two lower planes if they disagree with each other?
Of course, the Lord of Dawn is strong, but if he fights with Zhou Tiandi, it is still unclear who will win the battle.

"It's hard to do..."

Zhou Chen closed the book and saw that it was the only secret biography of Da Lu Tongshi, and rubbed his temples in displeasure, feeling very depressed.

In fact, so far, he has no direct conflict of interest with the Lord of Dawn, but Zhou Chen can't help but classify the Lord of Dawn as an imaginary enemy.

Maybe it was because the Lord of Dawn was the kind of domineering and unreasonable guy at first glance, which made Zhou Chen's sense of justice explode.

Of course, it may also be because the Lord of Dawn has been too successful in the magic stick tactics, which made Zhou Chen a little envious and jealous.Of course, Zhou Chen would never admit this.

"At present, the mortal forces on the mainland are not to be feared. The only one who can threaten me is the Lord of Dawn."

Zhou Chen's vigilance against the Lord of Dawn has risen to the highest level.After all, this old guy doesn't look like a good god no matter what.

"Perhaps, I should also cultivate some forces on this continent and let them come forward to test the Lord of Dawn. I can just hide behind the scenes."

Zhou Chen rubbed his chin, thought of various feasible suggestions in his mind, and finally decided that it would be better to cultivate cannon fodder forces to fight for him.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a short knock on the door, and Zhou Chen casually put the General History of the Mainland into the bookshelf, then leaned back on the chair, and said calmly, "Come in."

"squeak……"

The door was pushed open, and Helen's light and graceful figure floated in. She walked to Zhou Chen with a happy face, her lake green eyes were filled with admiration: "Master Saint, according to the words you taught me and the combination of grace and power, method, has successfully subdued Custer, and he has formally pledged his allegiance to me."

"Don't be too happy, Helen."

Zhou Chen helplessly looked at the naive chick beside him, and couldn't help but hit him: "You can betray even if you are loyal. Over the years, has your royal family experienced little betrayal?"

"This……"

Helen was speechless by Zhou Chen's words, and it took a long time before she whispered: "No, Custer was single-handedly picked up by my father, without the support of our royal family, he is just an ordinary soldier now, how could it be possible?" Promoted to earl, and also became a great knight?"

"Nothing is impossible."

Zhou Chen spread his hands, looked at Helen, and said jokingly: "The contradiction between your royal family and the temple is so deep, there will be a life-and-death war in the future. But no matter how you look at it, your royal family has no chance of winning! I will not betray you , then it will be difficult to survive. Do you think that loyalty is more important to him, or life is more important?"

Hearing this, Helen fell silent instantly. After a long time, she raised her head in embarrassment, blushing and said, "You know?"

"Know what?" Zhou Chen asked with a faint smile.

"It's... the conflict between us and the temple." Helen said with her head lowered halfway.

"Of course I know, it's written in this book."

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Chen took out the Da. Lu Tongshi from the shelf, threw it on the desk, and said in an inexplicable tone: "You put this book here on purpose, so you must show it to me on purpose."

"Yes, Lord Saint, you will know sooner or later, so I will..." Helen's face turned red after her little thoughts were exposed, and she whispered in a mosquito voice.

"You are quite careful."

Zhou Chen chuckled, glanced up and down at Helen and said, "When you were in the Thorn Forest, you never left the temple and the Lord of Dawn, and you advised me not to mention heretical evil gods, so as not to be chased and killed by the temple. I thought at the time that you He is really a devout follower of the Lord of Dawn."

"I didn't expect to find out now that you look so beautiful, but you also betrayed the revolution!"

"Uh... what does revolution mean?" Helen asked with some doubts.

"Cough, it's nothing."

Zhou Chen coughed in embarrassment, and continued: "I mean, you're a pretty girl, you almost fooled me."

"This... If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be alive today."

Helen suddenly raised her head, looked straight at Zhou Chen with brave eyes, and said, "I have been sent to the temple since I was seven years old. I am called a saint, but I am actually a hostage of the imperial family in the temple. If I dare to say a word from the temple Bad words, just like those princes and princesses sent by the empire before, were poisoned to death by a glass of poisoned wine, and then announced that they died of illness; or fell from a high tower by "missteps"; accidentally injured by a sword during training..."

"You're right."

Zhou Chen looked at the little girl who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, and asked with great interest, "How many children does your father have?"

"Three...four. Me and Louis, two princesses, and a little brother Prince Charlie. The other is an illegitimate daughter, which is...the one who is riding in the carriage with us, Arya."

Hearing Zhou Chen ask such a secret question, Helen hesitated for a moment, but still told the whole story.

"is her?"

Recalling that cute little girl, Zhou Chen really felt that her face was [-]% similar to Helen's.

However, so to speak, Alice, the beautiful woman in the black dress, is Edward VII's lover?

As if guessing what Zhou Chen was thinking, Helen carefully explained: "Madame Alice is a fourth-level senior magician who was born in the Silver Tower, and will soon break through to the fifth level, and she is expected to become a holy magister in the future." A genius. She doesn't like my father's sweetheart."

"She is just a friend of Arya's biological mother, and after Arya's biological mother died, she took care of Arya."

Speaking of this, Helen blinked playfully, and said: "Luckily, with Arya, I was able to persuade Mrs. Alice to be my court lady, and recruited a future holy magister for our Munn royal family."

"Uh...then your next step is to win me over?" Zhou Chen teased.

"This... yes."

Helen nodded obediently, her eyes glowing with anticipation.But after seeing Zhou Chen just smiled back and didn't take any action, the light in Helen's eyes dimmed:
"That's right, a saint-level powerhouse like you may not look down on our long-decayed royal family."

"I really don't like the royal family."

Zhou Chen smiled faintly, then changed the topic, and continued: "But I have a crush on you. You are a qualified heir to the royal family, a qualified... emperor!"

"Please don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Helen turned pale with fright, and her rapid breathing represented the uneasiness in her heart: "My lord, the royal family has never had a female successor to the throne, even if my father didn't give birth to a boy, it must be A collateral prince succeeds."

"More than 60 years ago, the royal family probably did not have the tradition of bowing to the temple and sending hostages."

Zhou Chen said with a chuckle: "People, we must keep pace with the times. There was no precedent for a woman to inherit the throne before, but now there is."

"Please don't say that, I never thought of succeeding the emperor..."

Before Helen could finish speaking, Zhou Chen said coldly: "Think carefully about yourself. If you are willing to inherit the throne, I will fully support you to ascend the throne. You should be very clear that I am not a holy rank!"

As soon as these words came out, Helen's heart suddenly jumped.Of course she knew that Zhou Chen was not as simple as a holy rank powerhouse, at least, she didn't think that a holy rank powerhouse could kill an adult Balrog so easily with a single sword strike!
You know, the Balrog is a legendary great demon who can rival the gods!

According to Helen's knowledge, the most recent human battle against the Balrog was the Balrog that appeared in the southwest province thousands of years ago.

That Balrog is the great lord of the abyss, the legendary demon Kargos under the command of the Lord of Pride, who has a terrifying record of tearing apart demigods.Back then, after he burned the entire southwestern province, he was surrounded by more than a dozen red-clothed judges from the Temple of the Lord of Dawn before he was expelled from the main material plane and returned to the abyss.

You know, every red-clothed magistrate who participated in the battle at that time had at least the strength of a holy rank!But even more than a dozen strong men above the holy rank still couldn't do anything to this Balrog, so they could only expel it.

But Zhou Chen was able to kill the Flame Demon with a single strike!

Even though the Balrog that Zhou Chen faced was far less powerful than Kagos, it was enough to prove Zhou Chen's monstrous strength!
If such a strong man could support the royal family, then the temple would not be so scary!
