#392 - Chapter 391: How to defeat God?
"What?" Jiang Han was taken aback.
"It's about Windleaf City."
A gentle breeze blew, causing Sophia's skirt to flutter. She delicately tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I think you must have heard something from Karami."
"That?"
Jiang Han shrugged. "I didn't pay much attention. Everyone has their own secrets."
"Besides, since it concerns the Dragon Phoenix Empire, I think it's better for me not to know."
"But it also concerns the survival of Windleaf City," Sophia said. "After this period of development, I don't think you'll want to station yourself in any other city."
"If you hadn't arrived in time, Windleaf City would have been destroyed."
"The secret I've been keeping would have been meaningless."
"From a logical standpoint, that's true," Jiang Han nodded. "So, is this gratitude?"
"I suppose so."
Sophia thought for a moment. "However, I also have some selfish motives."
She looked towards the city walls, her gaze lost in reminiscence. "Since arriving in this city, I've been burdened with this, with no one to share it with."
"Now, finally, there's an opportunity to entrust it to someone."
"Entrust?" Jiang Han chuckled. "That sounds a bit too serious."
"But we're friends, aren't we?" Sophia smiled.
Jiang Han didn't speak, but nodded solemnly.
"It's not strange for friends to share secrets, and besides, I think you might be interested in this secret," Sophia said.
"Now I'm getting curious," Jiang Han said thoughtfully.
Sophia said softly, "It's about... gods."
"Gods?"
Jiang Han was somewhat surprised. "Didn't Karami say it was an internal secret of the Empire? Could it be that your royal family has some connection to the gods?"
"No."
Sophia shook her head. "In fact, we have no connection to the gods, and we even... despise them."
As she spoke, her expression turned serious. She took out a crystal from her inventory, and instantly a barrier enveloped the two of them, preventing any sound from escaping.
"Unlike ancient races like the dwarves, the establishment of the Dragon Phoenix Empire had nothing to do with the gods."
"Instead, it was guided by the Divine Tree."
"So you have a relationship with the Holy Temple of Life?" Jiang Han asked.
"I'm not very clear on that."
Sophia shook her head. "All I know is that when the Dragon Phoenix Empire was founded, my ancestors once waged war against the gods."
"And the final result was that the gods withdrew from the Lost Continent, and the Dragon Phoenix Empire was established."
"Your ancestors? Defeated the gods?"
Jiang Han was stunned, somewhat incredulous.
He had truly witnessed the power of the gods and knew the enormous gap between humans, these so-called divine-level beings, and those terrifying existences.
Even peak experts like Man Que only had the power to barely contend with the gods.
To defeat them?
That was complete nonsense!
The gap was simply too large, and even Jiang Han now didn't have the means to directly confront the gods.
But now, Sophia was actually saying that humans had once defeated the gods?
A flash of inspiration struck Jiang Han's mind, and he said seriously:
"So I understand somewhat."
"Are you saying that the secret of Windleaf City is a method to defeat the gods?"
Sophia nodded: "Yes."
