Chapter 352: The Controller Behind the Scenes The Holy Spirit, as the adjuster left behind by the Creator, is qualified to select the gods for the world, just as a company manager selects competent staff from among his company's subordinates and promotes them to middle management.
Hendrek has been on the attention of the Holy Spirit since birth, as have many other human beings.
Since the Holy Spirit can make certain predictions about the future direction of the world to some extent, she focuses on those human beings whose future is full of uncertainties and possibilities, and only such human beings have the possibility of breaking through the boundaries of mortal things in the future, and in a popular sense, these human beings are the lucky ones who have the possibility of becoming legendary powerhouses.
This is how the thirteen Sages who founded the kingdom of mankind came, the descendants of the greatest Sage became the rulers of the human race, and the remaining twelve Sages formed the Supreme Council to guide the development of the entire human race.
Originally, according to the plan, over time, these human beings gradually grew up, and when they showed the characteristics that were consistent with the rules required by a certain world, the Holy Spirit would try to make these human beings on the path to godhood, but about three thousand years ago, shortly after the establishment of the human kingdom, this plan was unexpected because of an event, and from that time on, the world will and the Holy Spirit fell into a serious disagreement, and the world will believed that human beings were very dangerous to the world.
If they are not wiped out, the world will be completely destroyed, and the Holy Spirit still insists on the previous choice, believing that humanity will not necessarily develop in the direction that the world's will says.
After the conflict intensified, the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the will of the world became very awkward, after all, the two had the same duties, and they had no way to attack each other.
In this Cold War-like situation, Soul Walkers and Soul Eaters are warriors created from the human world by the Holy Spirit and the Will of the World in order to preserve or destroy humanity.
This state of divergence has lasted for a full 3,000 years, and only recently has shown signs of being broken.
Previously, the beast god Samael was actually guided by the Holy Spirit to become a god, and after that exchange between the Holy Spirit and the will of the world, the two beings each took a step back and reached a compromise agreement.
The Holy Spirit will no longer choose to oppose human beings as the only gods, and the will of the world will no longer hinder human beings from becoming gods, and in the end, the number of human beings among the gods of this world will only be allowed to reach half of the total number of gods, and if this number is violated, then the Holy Spirit and the will of the world will personally intervene to restore the balance of this world.
Since the Holy Spirit has never given up the selection of human gods from the beginning to the end, Hendrick, as a candidate for the gods that the Holy Spirit has already selected, quickly transformed into the god of death after that, in fact, the Holy Spirit has already placed the key to becoming a god in the old magician's body, and she can quickly promote the old magician to a god as long as the will of the world gives up the obstruction.
The old magician had already shown his qualities when he was a young man, and if Hendrek hadn't participated in that magic experiment, it would have taken him about three hundred years to condense a godhead within himself.
And in the meantime, he must not be expelled by the will of the world.
Under these harsh conditions, Hendrek was not sure enough to become a god, but when he participated in the soul experiment as a young magician, the Spirit found a quick way to achieve his goal.
Hendrik, whose soul was severely damaged in the magic experiment, miraculously survived with the help of the Holy Spirit, and his soul was also manipulated by the Holy Spirit at that time to secretly put a power seed about the law of death.
This power seed continued to transform Hendrik's soul into a form more in line with the laws of death, and with the death of millions of people in several wars in this world, the abundant death power finally accumulated to its limit when the city of Ivorda was slaughtered by demons.
Zhao Yannian couldn't help but feel embarrassed after hearing these things from Hendrick, everything that happened in this world seemed to have the shadow of the Holy Spirit and the will of the world behind it.
"Teacher, will you have to stay in this world forever?"
Zhao Yannian asked the old magician with some embarrassment.
"That's right, the task given to me by the Holy Spirit is to ensure the stability of this space, and to harvest some souls when necessary."
The old magician didn't feel as sad as Zhao Yannian, but replied happily.
"Harvesting souls?"
Zhao Yannian asked in surprise, you must know that the Holy Spirit has built the soul river, and all the souls in this world should be able to enter this world of the dead on their own, why do you need the old magician to harvest the soul in person?
"The soul river can only collect the souls of the beings born in this world, if it is a life from another world, it cannot come here through the soul river, the Holy Spirit tells me that there will be many souls in this world in the next few years that I need to harvest, and this matter is also very beneficial to you."
Hendrick explained to Zhao Yannian that the current world of the dead had just taken shape, and it still needed a lot of soul power to be perfected, and it was impossible for the soul power in the world to increase significantly in a short period of time, and the only way to increase the total amount of soul elements in the source world was to harvest souls from the other world.
After listening to the old magician's explanation, Zhao Yannian suddenly felt that the war he was having trouble with now seemed to have a lot of conspiracies related to the world, and it was obvious that he would use the future war between humans and angels and demons to quickly complete some of the laws of the Source Realm, which was definitely calculated by the Holy Spirit a long time ago.
"Teacher, do you think that future war is a conspiracy of the Holy Spirit or the will of the world?"
Zhao Yannian had already explained the situation of the future war to the old magician before, and now when he heard the old magician's words, he felt more and more that the Holy Spirit and the will of the world were using humans as a bait.
"I asked the Holy Spirit about the future war, but she was pretty sure that she was not the one who started it.
You know that I am now a god, and I still have the ability to distinguish between truth and lies, and I feel that what the Holy Spirit says is not the truth, but it is also not a lie, maybe it is the unilateral act of the will of the world that caused this war, but the Holy Spirit also seems to play a role in it.
The old magician's speculation finally dispelled Zhao Yannian's suspicions about the Holy Spirit a little, although Zhao Yannian still felt that the Holy Spirit seemed to have many secrets hidden in this war that had not been clarified, but at least the Holy Spirit should not use humans as simple pawns.
"Forget it, don't think about these things, although we may be used as pawns, but they have no ill will towards us, even if there is no Holy Spirit and the will of the world, sooner or later angels and demons will still come to seize this world that originally belonged to them, in order to survive, war is inevitable in the end.
At least half of the world is on our side now.
The old magician saw Zhao Yannian's appearance and seemed to be a little depressed, so he enlightened Zhao Yannian.
After Zhao Yannian heard the old magician's words, he fell into silent thinking.
The Survivor has been flying in the sky for a long time, and under the reminder of the old magician, Zhao Yannian finally saw the edge of this world.
The Survivors came to the edge of this world, following the old magician's instructions and began to fly beneath what seemed to be an unfathomable edge.
After descending a few kilometers to penetrate the earth of the world of the dead, Zhao Yannian saw a huge tree.
The World Tree that Zhao Yannian had seen before was already so big that Zhao Yannian couldn't imagine it before, but compared to the giant tree he saw at the moment, the World Tree was as small as a weed on the ground.
Dozens of kilometers tall giant trees supported the huge world of the dead above, and this giant tree that looked dry and dilapidated and seemed to be about to die was full of the aura of death that Zhao Yannian was extremely familiar with.
"World Tree!?"
Zhao Yannian remembered the dead World Tree Seed that had been placed in the Great Tower of Life, and he had thrown it into the refuge space where the goblin Alva was located according to the order of the Holy Spirit.
"That's right, this is the dead world tree you threw here, the embodiment of the law of death in this world."
After explaining to Zhao Yannian, Hendrick led Zhao Yannian to fly towards the root of the World Tree, and a small wooden temple was Hendrick's residence at this time.

Since Hendrick is no longer human, there are no decent furnishings in this temple built of the Death World Tree, and the Temple of Death is completely empty, and Zhao Yannian and Elaine can only sit on the ground with the old magician.
In order not to arouse the sadness of the old magician, Zhao Yannian naturally couldn't take out things like tea and food, and the two people who had finished talking about the topic along the way sat there and naturally fell into silence.
The old magician and Zhao Yannian are not the type to be good at getting close to others, so although Zhao Yannian was often with the old magician before, he had never been close to relatives.
It was precisely because of this that the two of them sat there racking their brains and didn't know what to do next, and the depression brought by this state of silence finally opened the topic before a third person suddenly opened the topic before the two of them were driven crazy.
"Lord Death, will the arrival of living beings like us in your realm affect your power?"
Elaine timidly asked the old magician, who had remained silent all the time, and finally couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and tried to break the silence.
The little female dragon already knew the relationship between Zhao Yannian and the god of death, so although she was still instinctively afraid of the other party, at least she no longer affected her speech.
"Of course there is an impact, the invasion of the dead by the living into the realm of the dead is the greatest blasphemy against the duty of the god of death!"
The ghostly fire in the old magician's eyes suddenly turned red, and then a huge scythe glittered with cold light appeared in the hand of the active Reaper-sama.
"Ah!!
h The old mage in the Grim Reaper's combat state looked terrifying, and Elaine was once again screaming in fright.
