#1218 - How bold the people are, how productive the land is.

"Madam, you have taught us a lot. This time we were reckless and careless." Gavin nodded in agreement. "We will reflect deeply and review the matter afterwards. Madam, how do you think we should fight this battle?"

"If we want to fight, we won't do it in our own dreams, but directly attack the nightmare dream of the Dark Night Serpent." Although Mother Earth rarely participates in battles, it doesn't mean she doesn't have strategies. "I will carefully select the right targets to ensure the winning rate while also making sure to inflict enough damage on the Dark Night Serpent.

I will let you know once I have chosen my target.

Before that, all you need to do is accumulate strength.

Although your current strength is not bad, it is still far from enough to deal with this greedy giant snake."

Gavin had finally caught the opportunity, so he would not let it go and dig deep into the value of Mother Earth: "Although the Dragon Oak Dream is developing at a good speed, without mastering the power of the priesthood, Virginia is not legitimate, and many powers exclusive to the dream priesthood cannot be used.

Although the Dragon Oak Dreamland had already bred the divine spark of dreams a long time ago, I was afraid that it would attract many prying eyes, so I dared not use it. "

The reason why they had previously delayed Lord Virginia's ascension to godhood was different from Gavin's deep cultivation and rooting in the material plane.

Purely from a safety perspective.

But if Mother Earth provides protection, there will be no such worries.

If you can ascend to godhood, try to do so.

After all, with the blessing of the priesthood and divinity, there are conveniences that ordinary people do not have.

Having only Gavin on the ground is enough. The more gods he supports and are related to his development and construction, the better. The bigger the noise he can make on the ground, and both sides will benefit.

"You little rascal, you know how to bargain." Mother Earth couldn't help but curse with a smile, "If you want me to help you block the knife, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. Even if there is no such cooperative relationship, will I just sit there and do nothing?"

"I know that you are a kind-hearted person, but this matter is not a trivial one, and I have to confirm it before I can feel at ease." Gavin didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"You are quite cautious." Mother Earth fully recognized Gavin's cautious attitude, but still kindly reminded him, "The divine spark has attributes.

The divine spark bred in the Dragon Oak Dream must be a natural dream. Using it to deify someone certainly has a huge appeal to natural races.

But if you want to get involved in human dreams in the future, it will be very difficult because there is a natural racial barrier!"

"There's such a thing!" Gavin's brows jumped involuntarily. It seemed that their previous decision not to rush into deification was right.

Although they now have quite a few gods, most of them are newly promoted demigods, and they are seriously lacking in knowledge about the gods.

A lot of it was learned by the Goddess of Fortune during this period of time.

"It is possible that it is a fragment of Lady Mist's divinity, but it is obviously controlled and corrupted by evil forces. It is a standard nightmare dream." Mother Earth affirmed, "It is best to use it for training. If you really find Leila's divinity fragment there, I have a humble request."

"Ma'am, please go ahead." Gavin had vaguely guessed the other party's intention.

"Please give Ms. Mist a chance to live. After all, she was implicated by me. I promised to provide her with shelter." Mother Earth couldn't help but sigh.

Gavin responded very straightforwardly: "Ma'am, don't worry, all we need is the dream seed of Madam Mist. We will not spy on illusions and deception priesthoods, but will try our best to separate them.

Because once dreams are used to deceive, they are doing evil.

I am afraid that even if we are willing to let her go, the Prince of Lies will not let her go. After all, most of the illusion and deception priesthoods have been plundered by him. "

He did not say this on impulse. From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting Lord Virginia follow Leila's old path.

Instead, he forged his own dream priesthood. A dream network was enough to allow for unlimited possibilities in the future and spawn a large number of exclusive priesthoods.

There's no need to fight with others for chicken bones.

Even if Lady Mist were reborn, she would not be able to shake Lord Virginia's position, and might even become her subordinate god.

After all, illusions and dreams are inextricably linked.

"I feel relieved when you say this." Mother Earth smiled slyly and said, "Don't forget what the mission of Lady Mist is.

Her most core believers still firmly believe that their goddess is not dead, but is just using illusion to fake her death to fool Xirik.

As long as the time and method are right, the Lady of the Mist can be brought back to life.

When it comes to creating momentum, I believe there is no one in all of Faerun who can match you."

"Madam, now that you mention it, we can do a lot!" Gavin added excitedly, "As long as we plan carefully, we can put on a grand magic show in front of the world to herald the return of the Lady of the Mist.

Maybe we can take back the priesthood of illusion and deception from the God of Conspiracy."

If there is a chance to weaken the God of Conspiracy, he will never let it go.

This is especially true in a situation where there is no need for a head-on confrontation.

"That's right." Mother Earth promised, "Just go ahead and do it with confidence. I will bear the pressure from Xirik.

Last time, due to the restrictions of the recasting of the laws, everything was in chaos. I couldn't use my power and couldn't protect Lady Mist.

This time, I will never let that dark and poisonous snake succeed again."

It seems that she has been brooding over the fact that Lady Mist was killed by Cyric.

This also shows her trustworthy side. It would be a very reassuring thing to be her ally.

She could do the same to Lady Mist now, and one day, she could do the same to them.

"I feel relieved with what the lady said." Gavin patted his chest and said, "Just wait and see!"

"I believe you." Mother Earth gave Gavin full trust.

After all, the other party's glorious record was there, and she had benefited a lot from him in recent times, with two more gods under her name.

One that carries on the past, representing his core priesthood from the past, and provides stability for himself.

A pioneer represents the future of one's clerical career development.

Now there is another dream priesthood, which is very effective in curing one's stubborn illness.

Gavin's path priesthood will be closely related to the future development of his current core priesthood, and they will promote each other.

As long as they grow up, she basically doesn't need to do anything and just wait to receive offerings in a refreshed mood!

Who wouldn't like him? Who wouldn't give him high support?

Not guaranteeing the safety of his rear so that they wouldn't be strangled in the cradle?

With a solid backing, Gavin's inspiration entered a period of explosion. To be more precise, all the ideas that he had not dared to think of, let alone do, came to his mind. He directly shared with Mother Earth: "Madam, I think it is not enough to just declare war on the Night Serpent. We must cut off the source of his power from the root."

Mother Earth, who was about to leave, was immediately attracted back and asked curiously, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Since the Night Serpent feeds on forgotten nightmares, let's create a priesthood to protect dreams. We will protect all dreams, whether they are good or nightmares, and eliminate nightmares as much as possible to reduce the number of nightmares they are born." Gavin said.

"If this can really be done, even if the Dark Night Serpent does not starve to death, its strength will be weakened to the extreme." Mother Earth asked urgently, "Is it feasible?"

Lord Virginia thought for a moment and replied conservatively, “In theory, it is indeed feasible. Dreams can be woven and deconstructed, and nightmares can be made absurd or beautified.

It’s just that I haven’t mastered the dream priesthood yet, and my control over dreams largely depends on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Dragon Oak Dream, so I can’t give a definite answer.”

"As long as there is hope, it will be easy." Mother Earth said as someone who has experienced it, "As long as you are strong enough, you can definitely forge the corresponding laws. The most important thing is to dare to think."

When it comes to daring to think, I'm afraid no one can compare to Gavin. He fired at full steam and came up with a new concept: "Protecting dreams is not just empty talk, but we need to build a dream protection wall to keep out those uninvited guests in the dream.

In addition, we have the responsibility to protect the secrets of the Dreamlanders and prevent them from being used by those with ulterior motives. After all, this involves the safety of their souls."

This time even Mother Earth was a little shocked. She couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "How dare you say that? How dare you think that you are protecting secrets? Isn't this going against Lady Dark Night?"

The look on his face was as if he was afraid that the Lady of Night would overhear their conversation.

Gavin, on the other hand, had completely let himself go, saying nonchalantly, "I believe that the entire Faerun has been suffering from Lady Night for a long time regarding secrets, especially the good camp, which simply cannot keep its own secrets and is often confronted by the evil, or even seized the initiative.

If you want to change the current situation, you can only start from the priesthood of guarding secrets. Guard the secrets so that even the Lady of Darkness cannot spy on them.

There are many ways to protect secrets, including secrets in dreams and secrets in strategies and tactics. I don’t believe that when all the gods join forces, they can’t defeat the Lady of Darkness. "

He looked righteous and awe-inspiring, completely standing on the perspective of the gods.

He certainly wasn't preparing to fight the Lady of Night himself, but to tie all the gods of Faerun to his chariot.

The law does not hold everyone responsible.

No matter how powerful you, Lady of the Dark Night, are, you can still be stronger than all the gods combined.

"Your plan is too idealistic." Mother Earth sighed, "You have not yet experienced the methods of the Dark Night Mother. She will use the secrets in her hands to separate your allies from you.

Let your enemies see through your plans and trump cards, so that they can fight back tit for tat.

By the time you face her, you may be alone, fighting on your own!"

"What about using spam messages?" Gavin suddenly came up with another brilliant idea.

“What is spam?”

"It is to artificially create countless useless secrets, add one's own real secrets into them, and confuse the vision of the Lady of the Dark Night!" The concept of network attack that Gavin copied was just turned into a dream.

"You have already stepped into the realm of the gods and unlocked your divine power. Why are you still so naive?" Mother Earth asked instead of answering, "Do you think this method can fool a powerful god who has been working in this priesthood for many years?"

"That's right." Thinking of his unique divine ability in the road, Gavin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and said, "Is there no way to deal with her?"

"In fact, there is a method, and it is public. There is more than one method, and all the gods know it."

"What method?"

“The first method is to have no secrets, just like what we are doing now, communicating openly and honestly. Even if it is not a secret, the Dark Night Mother will be powerless.

The reason why the Moon Mother has been able to fight against the Dark Night Mother for so many years is that most of the time, it is not because of her own strength, but because she never uses conspiracy or tricks to confront the Dark Night Mother and does not give her divine power a chance to play a role. "

"I see." Gavin suddenly realized that only if he could be open-minded and selfless, he would not give the villains any chance. It seemed that it was difficult for him to do that. "What else?"

"The second method is to jump out of Faerun and look for a targeted method. This method is not only applicable to the Dark Night Mother, but also to those native gods, including you. Once you leave this world, you will no longer be within the range of your priesthood and divine power, and the effect will be greatly reduced."

"Isn't this just looking for external aid?" Gavin shook his head repeatedly. "Not right, not right, not right. Even if we find external aid, it is equivalent to inviting an invasion from foreign gods. If we are not careful, we will not be facing just the Lady of Darkness, but the entire native pantheon. This method must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"You are really good at it, this is indeed the biggest side effect of this method."

"Being a god is the same as being a human. If a human is taboo, then a god must be taboo too." Gavin said as if it was a matter of course. "Are there any other methods?"

"Yes, but this method has not been proven." Mother Earth hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "We originally placed our hopes on Lady of the Mist. When she became strong enough, we wanted to see if we could use the power of deception to deceive the Night Mother. Unfortunately, her chance to grow was cut off..."

"Clergy confrontation!" Gavin's mind moved involuntarily, "Madam, is it possible that the Lady of Darkness attacked the Lady of Mist not simply because she could help you deal with the Night Serpent, but because her priesthood could pose a threat to it, so she wanted to kill it in the cradle?"

Mother Earth nodded and said, "I am also aware of this possibility, but whether it is true or not, we have to wait until Lady Mist is resurrected and can obtain strong enough divine power to know. If we want to have a clerical confrontation, at least the strength of both sides cannot be too different, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed!"

It seems that Shangtia wants to resurrect Lady Mist not only because of her feelings, but also because of the interests involved.

In this world, the most reliable relationship is indeed interest.

"If that's the case, we must also take Lady of Night into consideration when we resurrect Lady of Mist." Gavin quickly went over the three methods in his mind and soon came up with a plan of his own.

The best way to deal with the Goddess of Darkness is still the first one.

That is to make sure that I have no secrets, and she will naturally lose the biggest bargaining chip against me.

His biggest secret is that he was reborn on his own initiative in order to prevent the coming of the arcane catastrophe.

Keeping this secret before was a form of protection for myself.

If keeping this secret will pose a fatal threat to yourself, you can take the initiative to disclose this secret.

After all, he is no longer a mortal. The relationship between him and the gods and people depends on the interests and friendships he has established over the past three years. This relationship is extremely solid.

I am not a reincarnated demon and I have never made any mistakes in principle, so I should be accepted.

Of course, proactively disclosing secrets does not mean advertising them to everyone, but telling them to people related to the matter.

Mother Earth highly recognized it and said, "Indeed, that's it. As of today, when it comes to Mother Dark Night, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Don't say anything or do anything. Once you are sure you want to do it, then strike with thunder. This is the most likely way to succeed!"

"Thank you ma'am for your teachings!" Gavin bowed to express his gratitude.

Today he not only learned a lot, but also had a clearer picture of his future path.

"You're welcome." Mother Earth waved her hand and said, "I will contact you when I'm ready. You grow up as soon as possible."

"Farewell, ma'am!"

Amid the farewells of the crowd, the figure of Mother Earth quickly disappeared without a trace.

Gavin and the others did not leave the dream immediately, but continued their internal dream meeting.

Gavin turned to the Earth Bear and said, "Sir Arbery, your weakness in the dream realm is too obvious. Even without the Night Serpent, you are vulnerable to targeted treatment. You must find a way to make up for it."

"That's right! That's right! That's right!" The Earth Bear nodded in agreement. The erosion of the Dark Night Serpent left an indelible impression on him. "But how do we make up for it?"

If he is good at this, it can't be called a shortcoming.

Gavin turned his gaze back to Lord Virginia and asked, "The situation of the Earth Stone is very similar to that of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Can we use it as the energy core to build the Earth Dream? It doesn't need to be too offensive, the focus is on defense!" (End of this chapter)
