Chapter 206 - 205: Unexpected Discovery
The Ancient Jade Dragon wanted Leon to perform for him first to satisfy his curiosity.
Leon, on the other hand, preferred that the Ancient Jade Dragon first tell him the knowledge he wanted to learn.
After some back-and-forth bargaining, in the end, the Ancient Jade Dragon’s curiosity outweighed him, and he yielded first.
"You seem to know a lot about gods..."
"Not much. I’ve just heard a bit."
Leon mainly wanted to understand knowledge related to gods. However, although the Ancient Jade Dragon was quite old and highly curious, valuing knowledge, he still didn’t know much.
The Ancient Jade Dragon began talking eloquently.
Leon had never been so focused before, occasionally asking questions, and quickly gained a vague understanding of the gods of this world.
No matter how mighty the gods described in official DND lore might seem, where some claim they could casually destroy stars and defeat a Demon Lord as if disciplining a child, in this world, while gods were undoubtedly powerful—able to summon natural disasters at will or shift mountains and seas—they were far from capable of detonating stars.
The strength of a god depended on the vitality and number of the beings that believed in them. Even the faith of a few hundred or thousand was something they had to pay attention to, even dispatching a priest to educate the ignorant villagers of a small village to dedicate their hearts and souls to the god. Tiamat would delight in a single Red Dragon’s faith and was frugal enough to be fond of gold coins.
Gods rarely manifested themselves, but the descendants born to gods, known as Supreme Heaven, were not difficult to encounter. These Supreme Heaven beings generally possessed beautiful faces, flawless physiques, and overwhelming confidence. While ageless, they could still be killed, and they couldn’t defeat certain mighty Demon Lords or Great Devils.
