Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration] Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Ragnarök

Ge Xiu couldn't help but laugh with Elinor's close intimate way of greeting:

“Don't make trouble, it's itchy!”

He raised his hand and pushed the head of the giant wolf, taking advantage of the situation rub his fluffy neck with both hands.

Elinor raised his head and slightly extended the distance between them.

However, in the pair of blood red pupils, there was a bit of anxiety and restlessness.

The Fenrir clan has always had a very keen sense of smell. They could detect the slightest changes in breath of any organism, and could even smell the imminent death and danger… And from the first day they met, Elinor could smell the vitality of Ge Xiu fading and withering little by little, as if being constantly devoured by something unknown, making him become weaker and weaker day by day.

This trend was like a fall with being pulled down by gravity, no matter how hard Elinor tries, he can't stop it.

This feeling of powerlessness made him very irritable.

Ge Xiu seemed to be totally unaware of the changes in his body… Or maybe he was aware, but he didn't care.

Elinor's eyes sank.

Ge Xiu still looked carefree.

He moved inward, then patted the ground on his side, and asked, “Do you want to come up?”

Was there any reason to refuse?

Elinor jumped up, and the huge wolf's body movements were surprisingly agile and light. The thick paw pads completely absorbed the impact that might have happened when he landed, and he hardly made a sound. He cautiously curled around Ge Xiu, his slender body was submerged into the soft and thick fur, and then he wrapped around him his fluffy tail and tucked him inside it.

Finally, he put his head on his front paws, and tightly encircled Ge Xiu in his body.

After getting along for such a long time, Elinor has keenly sensed the subtle difference between Ge Xiu's treatment of his two forms.

When he was in his human form, Ge Xiu's attitude was more polite and distant, but when he becomes a wolf, Ge Xiu is visibly more willing to get close to him, and even actively asked for a hug.

Elinor didn't think he would care about those details, but in the cave, he was still more willing to maintain Fenrir's body.

He lowered his sight, his blood-red eyes fixedly stared at the human being in his embrace, his expression softened.

As if following the master's wishes, the tip of the tail near Ge Xiu's head happily swished a few times in small movements.

The delicate fur on the tip of the tail swept across Ge Xiu's cheek, soft as a feather. Itchy.

Ge Xiu shifted his eyebrows, raised his hand to hug the soft and fluffy tail, and then rubbed his itchy cheeks against the tail, muttering:

“Don't move.”

There was still a little sleepiness in his voice that hasn't gone away, his hoarse voice was soft and unclear, with a sweet and sticky* ending, sounding as if he was acting coquettish.

Elinor's tail didn't move anymore.

However, the two pointed ears on the top of his head trembled slightly, and they subconsciously folded to the back of his head.

One person and one wolf lay quietly on the low but huge stone bed, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet and serene for a while.

Ge Xiu yawned sleepily, and hugged the fluffy tail in his arms tightly.

Although the fur of that white rare animal was expensive and scarce in quantity, it was far inferior to the soft fur on the big wolf in terms of touch. It was so warm, soft and delicate as if his whole person could sink and lay on it forever. It was a wonderful experience that couldn't be surpassed in terms of the the elastic fluff, it felt like being surrounded by clouds, it was simply the pinnacle of life.

Ge Xiu closed his eyes in a daze, and when he was about to fall asleep, suddenly a thought flashed through his drowsy mind.

It was like a lightning piercing the dark sky, instantly illuminating the night.

He opened his eyes and turned to look at the big wolf sleeping beside him:

“By the way, I suddenly thought of a question…”

Elinor opened his eyes, his pupils fixed on Ge Xiu, silently waiting for him to ask.

“Did you participate in the war 30,000 years ago?”

“Of course.” The giant wolf replied, slight vibration were transmitted as he spoke in a deep voice: “Unfortunately, I cannot recall the specific details.”

Ge Xiu changed his posture, bent his arms under his head, turned to face Elinor, his dark eyes narrowed thoughtfully, and the sleepiness in his eyes dispersed:

“Do you remember the cause of war?”

Elinor replied: “The struggle for faith.”

“The power of faith?” Ge Xiu tilted his head.

“Yes.” Elinor turned his head slightly to look at him, the soft fur on his neck rubbed against Ge Xiu's exposed skin with his movements, like undulating waves in a sea of ​​soft fluff: “The reason why a god was a god lies in the belief of all living beings. Only enough faith can condense the godhead, and only then the God Realm would open to them.”

Ge Xiu frowned slightly: “So these so-called gods… were not like that from the beginning?”

“You can't really say that…”

Elinor explained in an orderly manner: “There are innate gods and made gods. The two main gods, the God of Darkness and the God of Light, were created by the God of Creation himself. Those innate gods are almost as old as the continent itself. The remaining gods, such as the god of love, the god of beauty, the god of harvest, the god of war, the god of death, the god of plague, etc. Those are gods born out of the power of faith – although not as powerful as the main gods, they are also very old. The closer to the ancient races they are, the stronger the power they possess, and only a very powerful existence is qualified to become a god.”

Ge Xiu sat up, rested his cheeks on his hands, and listen quietly.

When Elinor's voice fell, he seemed to still be immersed in his thoughts.

Elinor was not in a hurry, and waited quietly,

A few minutes later, Ge Xiu broke the silence and asked: “Did you leave God Realm after that war?”

Elinor replied, “Although I have no relevant memories…but, it seems that there was no such thing.”

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

Ge Xiu had already sat up at the moment.

He frowned and muttered to himself: “Since the war 30,000 years ago has been won, why should the gods of the Light camp abandon the world and retreat to the God Realm?”

The gods in this world also have desires ambition and green just like humans. They are more like human beings with more power, rather than lacking personal desires, all-knowing and omnipotent gods. If Ge Xiu has any understanding of human nature, then it would be that no one would take the initiative to give up the low-handed benefits, or the spoils already in the bag. If the gods wanted to fight for the power of faith, it would be impossible to give back the entire continent mankind after they won the war.

Ge Xiu hugged his legs, put his chin on his knees, and pressed his lips thoughtfully. The content he had read from countless ancient books quickly passed through his mind, and he quickly extracted and solved the key points, reconstructing, reorganising and restoring them little by little.

After a long time, he opened his mouth, and spoke slowly and carefully:

“Unless… they didn't take the initiative to leave.”

Elinor's pupils were deep, like two bottomless blood-coloured lakes, his expression was complex and unfathomable.

Ge Xiu raised his eyes and looked at him. There was dazzling starlight in his dark pupils, as if a glint of light reflected on a blade. He curled his lips and showed a bright smile: “They were not forced to retreat to the God Realm but they can't come out.”

God of Light and the God of Darkness were the two innate gods since the creation of the continent.

Where there is light, there must be darkness.

When the dark god perished, his bones and the godhead were sealed, his followers were exiled, and the light side on the continent became absolutely dominant, the balance that had existed since the creation of the gods was destroyed.

After exiling the dark creatures to the back of the continent, the God of Light himself was also exiled by the continent to the God Realm.

“This is just my guess.” Ge Xiu pointed to the pile of books on the side, and said: “After all, among the books that exist on the mainland, there are very few books related to God Realm, so I can't verify it at all.”

“However, if my guess is correct …… “

Ge Xiu stared at the wolf as big as a mountain, slightly narrowed his eyes:” Well, the reason you godhead was seized is probably the same as the totem on my back, it's all a way to free the imprisoned gods.”

He tilted his head and looked at him innocently: “But, you already know, right?”

Elinor stared at him fixedly.

He really did not expect that a human being who had never come into contact with any relevant knowledge and had no experience could actually reason to this level only by relying on speculative inference.

Even he came to this conclusion not long after he left the dark side of the mainland.

After visiting his temple, Elinor discovered that it was not only the temple of the God of War that had been transformed and rebuilt into the shrine of the God of Light—there were many more gods from the Light camp disappearing at this time. Apart from him, there were only two or three gods with the same physical strength who survived the sordid catastrophe. Even after being deprived of the godhead, the bodies of most gods were annihilated and completely wiped from the mainland.

——The God of Light was erasing the gods and suppressing the growth of the power of light.

Since he wants to leave God Realm, he must restore the broken balance of the mainland. It was impossible for the God of Light to give up the power of his faith, and there was only one remaining choice, which was to weaken the rest of the gods of the Light camp, and no longer add energy to the seal, let it gradually loosen, and so the dark creatures sealed in the back of the continent would be gradually released.

Every piece in this chess game was developing steadily according to plan, just like the precise movement of connected gears.

The giant wolf sat up slowly, his head drooping slightly, and said

“…Yes.”

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

Ge Xiu was not very surprised. He raised his eyebrows: “Let me guess, you went out recently to speed up the process of restoring balance, right?”

Elinor replied, “Yes.”

It's just that what he recently attacked were not the territory of other gods of light, but the temple of the God of Light himself.

Although the number of people who believe in the God of Light will not get smaller because of this, to convey the power of faith gathered in humans to God Realm it was necessary to have a medium. The sacrificial rituals and idols in the Temple of Light were an indispensable part. Destroying this would indirectly weaken the power of the God of Light.

And the God of Light was trapped in the realm of God at this moment, and couldn't do anything about the loss of his own power.

Ge Xiu didn't have an extra expressions on his face. His eyes were slightly constricted, lines of his face were soft, and his lips that seemed to be often smiling were pressed at this moment, as if he was thinking about something.

Elinor was a little anxious.

As a god who once was in charge of the war, no matter how terrifying or precarious the situation he faced, he almost never had any strong feelings, and that strange emotion as if his fate hung on a thread, the throat contracted subconsciously, and the flow of blood increased, it seemed to be… uneasiness?

——Yes, uneasiness.

He didn't know how Ge Xiu would react to him intentionally concealing information.

So he felt uneasy about it.

This absolute unknowingness was like an invisible hand reaching into his chest, and then slowly closing around-

finally, after a long silence, Ge Xiu raised his head to look at the giant wolf sitting in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth. Elinor's heart couldn't help but panic.

In the next second, before Ge Xiu could react, the huge and majestic wolf god in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only a little wolf the size of a palm was left in the sunken part of the bed, fluttering his two wings on his back. He staggered towards him.

Ge Xiu hurriedly stretched out his hand and caught the little wolf into his arms before he fell down.

He hugged the fluffy little wolf and looked at it at loss: “Hey hey hey, what are you doing?”

Elinor found a comfortable position in his arms. After he turned into a wolf pup his limbs became shorter and rounder, and every movement looks naive, from the fluffy trembling ears to the lightly sweeping big tail, and the word cute was written all over his body.

He blinked:

“Are you angry?”

“Was a little bit earlier.” Ge Xiu smiled and rubbed the furball in his arms: “But not anymore.”

The author has something to say:
