Chapter 1330: Lingering Fear, Speculation

"Lord, Natural Father is a bit fierce, but also very warm. It's just that He often doesn't talk to me. Teacher says when I grow up a bit more, Natural Father will talk to me all the time!"

After finishing, Xiao Fan Ni blinked his bright, large eyes again, stared blankly at the Mage Robe on Xia Duo, and suddenly blurted out, "Lord, can you make me bigger?"

Make him bigger?

Xia Duo laughed heartily, rubbed Fanni's head vigorously, then looked at Yatewude and said with a slightly teasing smile, "Is this how you usually teach him?"

Yatewude hurriedly explained, "My Lord, Fanni is one of the few Apprentices I selected earlier, but because they are young, I actually haven't taught them much. Fanni learned by following along on his own; his talent is truly quite good."

After the joke, Xia Duo finally asked the main point, "What is this about the 'Natural Father' title?"

"That is also a name Fanni came up with himself. His father, Lude, is usually busy with work and doesn't have much time to accompany him; perhaps he projected his longing for his father into his Perception of the Natural Will."

"Hmm."

This explanation barely made sense, but Xia Duo had shared Yatewude's Perception of the Natural Will several times, and he was somewhat worried about Fanni being exposed to such complex information at such a young age.

At the same time, he was also full of interest in Yatewude's perception of the Natural Will after having perceived Holy Power. After thinking for a moment, he said to Yatewude:

"You go settle Xiao Fan Ni first, then come to my place. I still have some things to discuss with you."

After speaking, Xia Duo took Laidun and teleported outside the Government Hall, then walked alone toward the nearby Lord's Villa.

……

Second floor of the villa, Study.

Temporarily setting aside his curiosity about the Natural Will and Natural Holy Power, as well as his inquiry into Yatewude's process of perceiving Nature, Xia Duo felt only deep lingering fear in his heart at this moment.

He hadn't asked Yatewude exactly when he perceived the Natural Holy Power, but it could basically be confirmed that it must have been before yesterday!

That is to say, when the Keman investigator came yesterday, Yatewude had already perceived the Natural Holy Power. If the two of them had crossed paths, Yatewude would have exposed the new Natural Holy Power—which is different from that of Elf Druids—in front of the Elf.

Perhaps a disaster would have been summoned immediately.

Xia Duo had no doubt about this.

If he were an Elf, he would absolutely never let Yatewude go, nor any living creature that knew of the existence of the New Natural Philosophy.

From a secular perspective, Druids are an ideological war of aggression launched against humans. Once humans accept the New Natural Philosophy, it is equivalent to possessing an excellent, targeted weapon to resist the ideological war of aggression.

And from the perspective of the gods, the Elf Priest version of Druids is an extension of the power of the Elf main god, and also an extension of His Divine Power and order.

But once a true Natural Holy Power appears, the order He controls will inevitably be impacted, and consequently, His Divine Power will decline.

The most serious consequence might be that the Drow God of Vengeance, whom He could originally defeat, would now be unbeatable, and He would be further eroded in terms of Faith, order, and Divine Power until He is completely defeated and perishes.

It is conceivable that it is almost impossible for the Elf main god to allow a 【New Natural Holy Power Feedback Mechanism】—which can enrich His own order internally and prevent His own order from being impacted externally—to be controlled by a group of humans!

The greatest possibility is silencing them, even at the cost of triggering a divine war to directly wipe out all living creatures in this part of Nan Jing.

Of course, the situation could also be more optimistic; perhaps the Elf main god doesn't care at all about there being one more type of Druid order in this world.

Or perhaps, once the 【Nature】 concept entity based on the 【New Natural Philosophy】 is born, it immediately transcends the Elf main god, becoming an objective existence and an unshakable phenomenon.

Similar to the Lord of Radiance.

Gods are also divided into different ranks; this is beyond doubt.

Whenever there is a difference, there will be variation, and variation to a certain extent reflects rank.

As for what kind of existence the Lord of Radiance is, Xia Duo cannot be certain for now, but he has many conjectures, among which he believes the most likely is—

The Lord of Radiance was initially born from the sun of the Main Plane and only became the 【Lord of Radiance】 after reaching a 【Human-God Contract】 with humans.

The so-called Human-God Contract might have been triggered by some meaningless action of humans that activated some mechanism, or it was a primordial divine revelation, and humans responded.

The 【Natural God】 might have existed from the beginning; the 【New Natural Philosophy】 only activated His Holy Power feedback mechanism, and it is even possible that the primordial 【Natural God】 is this mechanism itself.

If one wanted to conduct an experiment, it would be simple: set up a Sun God Cult and see if one can directly obtain Holy Power feedback from the sun itself without knowing about the Lord of Radiance, or even the concept of gods.

Drawing from the New Natural Philosophy, one could perhaps write a book titled "The Solar Theory of Light-Fire Source Projection Benefiting All Things."

However, Xia Duo would not do such a thing; he is not sure if the Lord of Radiance would directly slap him down for causing such a thing.

However, he speculates that the Lord of Radiance should have already mastered the entire order of the sun Domain, as well as the corresponding Holy Power feedback mechanism.

Similar to the prehistoric novels from his hometown, where a certain god is gestated from the sun, considered a Sun Child, and later turns around to refine the sun, occupy the Dao of the sun, and become the Sun God.

At the same time, He also cultivates on His own, deriving other Domains from the Dao of the sun, such as order, law, governance, and so on.

But if the current 【Natural God】 is a type of Holy Power feedback mechanism, then in the future, there will inevitably be people or gods who covet this mechanism and this order.

This is also a troublesome matter.

Of course, if the other party strictly follows the 【New Natural Philosophy】, even if they become a Natural God, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for Xia Duo.

The fear is that the other party might engage in some characteristic reform; it might not harm the 【New Natural Philosophy】 Holy Power feedback mechanism itself, but for the individual ideological carriers in the secular world, it would be a turmoil.

……

"Sigh—"

For a moment, Xia Duo thought of many things. At this moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He somewhat regretted letting Yatewude develop the New Natural Philosophy; the efficiency was so high it caught him off guard.

Just then, the deep voice of the guard Nuoman came from outside the study: "My Lord, Elder Yatewude is here."

"Come in."

Following Xia Duo's command, Yatewude walked into the study with light steps. At this moment, he did not know what Xia Duo had just thought of and was not aware of the coming crisis.

"My Lord, I am here."

"Hmm, sit down first. I still have some questions I haven't figured out; wait a moment."

Xia Duo sat behind the desk, rubbing his brow with a slightly powerless feeling. The situation before him really gave him a headache, but there was one thing he was very clear about, and that was—

The cause of human Druids must definitely not be abandoned!
