Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 377: Lightning Array

"Since you have made up your mind to meet the Thunder God, then well, I will show you a way."

The water god narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his slender jade-like fingers and lightly drew a few strokes in the air. In an instant, a mysterious and complex formation slowly emerged on the originally calm mirror-like water surface.

This formation flickered with a faint light, and the lines were intertwined and entangled, as if containing endless mysteries and secrets.

The Water God said slowly, "This is a formation that was given to the world by the Thunder God in the past to dilute the power of the thunder. However, if the formation is slightly changed, it can gather energy and release powerful lightning towards the sky. With the power of the Thunder God, if she pays attention, she will definitely notice this unusual power fluctuation."

Xi Yeming stared intently at the magical magic circle in front of him, not daring to be distracted in the slightest for fear of missing any details.

He imprinted every pattern and change of the formation deeply in his mind, then raised his hands solemnly and bowed to the Water God to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your generous help, Senior Water God. I will definitely remember it in my heart!"

However, in the face of Xi Yeming's gratitude, the Water God just shook his head gently and said solemnly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Wait until you return safely before telling me these things."

After saying that, she looked at Xi Yeming deeply, and there seemed to be a hint of worry and uneasiness in her eyes.

Xi Yeming couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did the water god look at him with an expression as if he was bidding farewell to a warrior who would never come back? Especially when he thought of the legendary thunder god, he became even more confused.

So, he couldn't help but ask, "Please forgive me for being so presumptuous. I wonder what kind of goddess is the Thunder God? And why do people say that she is difficult to deal with?"

Hearing this, the Water God first sighed deeply, with a helpless look on her face. Then, she turned her head and looked at Xi Yeming with a sad and slightly angry look.

That gaze full of questions and inquiries seemed to turn into a sharp sword, stabbing straight into Xi Yeming's back, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

An ominous premonition suddenly came to my mind, and thoughts such as "Could it be that I have been deceived by some hateful man?" emerged uncontrollably in my mind.

At this moment, the water god, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth slowly and began to tell the stories of the past that had long been buried in the long river of time.

"Back in the day, we gods were not content with the status quo and lived in peace like we are today. Instead, we were active wherever people could see us." The voice of the water god was low and distant, as if carrying endless vicissitudes of life.

Then, the God of Water continued, "At that time, the God of Thunder and the God of Light worked together and spent countless efforts to create the original forms of various magic circles for mankind. However, what was unexpected was that those who were blessed with magical powers turned out to be ungrateful and launched a fierce attack on the two gods in turn."

Hearing this, Xi Yeming suddenly realized and couldn't help but blurt out: "It turned out that I was ruthlessly betrayed by the person I once helped with all my heart."

"Yes, but this is only the first time." The Water God nodded slightly, with an indescribable bitter smile on his face.

"What? There's a second time?" Upon hearing this, the other people couldn't help but exclaimed in unison, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The Water God took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then started to narrate again: "A long, long time ago, once, the Thunder God met a poor little girl who was in trouble. Feeling compassion, the Thunder God did not hesitate to lend a hand and saved her life. He also taught her how to use the wonderful skills of lightning magic. Later, when the Thunder God saw that the little girl had learned a lot, he let her go without worry and returned to the complicated mortal world, hoping that she could benefit the world with what she had learned."

At this point, the water god paused for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Everyone knew that the next plot might not be a good one.

As expected, Xi Yeming frowned and asked worriedly, "Could it be that... I can't escape the fate of being betrayed this time?"

Angelina raised her lips slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Oh my, I never thought that the legendary goddess of thunder would be so unlucky. Her vision is too bad."

The water god beside him nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then added: "That's right, that little girl is quite powerful. Relying on the skills she learned from the god of thunder, she traveled between various countries in the world. After going through many hardships and dangers, she finally succeeded in ascending the throne of the empress and unified the entire continent. Not only does she have powerful strength, but she also has unparalleled wisdom, and she has made herself immortal."

Hearing this, Angelina, who had been careless at first, suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had realized something important. She interrupted the Water God and asked, "Wait, wait! Are you talking about the Immortal Empress who ruled the entire continent with terror?"

Faced with Angelina's sudden reaction, Xiye was obviously a little confused. He knew nothing about this so-called Immortal Empress, so he asked curiously: "Immortal Empress? Who is she? How come I have never heard of her?"

Seeing Xi Yeming's confused face, Angelina took a deep breath and began to tell him the long-forgotten history: "Thousands of years ago, there was such a woman. The power and wisdom she possessed were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Just when everyone thought that this continent would be maintained by the situation of the Three Kingdoms for a long time, this extraordinary woman suddenly appeared, broke through many obstacles with a crushing force, and became an unprecedented empress. However, what is unexpected is that she ascended the throne not to seek welfare for the people of the world and to unify the three kingdoms to create a better future, but only out of personal desire - to enjoy the supreme glory and wealth to the fullest."

It turned out that the Goddess of Thunder was behind the empress and fanned the flames. If this matter were to become known to the world, the God of Thunder would definitely be blamed, and then there would be another storm.

Xi Yeming sympathized with him and said, "No wonder Lei Shen became so extreme later on. It really feels bad to be betrayed time and time again."
