Chapter 4535 Chapter 4537 [Challenging the Nordic Gods]
Fifty years later, mankind has carried out the third industrial revolution.
Humanity has invented atomic energy, computers, space technology and bioengineering.
With the advancement of science and technology, human life span has been greatly extended, and the population size has also been greatly increased.
In the 18th century, the world's population reached a maximum of one billion; in the 19th century, the global population reached about 1.2 billion; in the 20th century, the global population grew explosively.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were only 1.5 billion people in the world. But by the end of the twentieth century, the global population was approaching six billion. In a hundred years, it has grown threefold.
Despite technological advancement, the number of believers in the Goddess Church has continued to increase. Before, there were only a billion believers in the world. But after a population explosion, the goddess now has as many as five billion followers.
Based on an annual mortality rate of one percent, Xiang Nan can receive five million souls every year, so his strength has been further improved.
"I'm ready to challenge the Nordic gods." On this day, Kelibuso suddenly said to Xiang Nan.
"Are you fully prepared?" Xiang Nan asked with concern, "As far as I know, they are not simple."
There are not only many gods in Norse mythology, but all of them are ruthless characters. Odin, Thor, Loki, and Frigga from the Æsir clan all paid for themselves.
In addition to the Aesir, there are also light elves, dark elves, fire giants, frost giants, Vanir, dwarves, undead and so on.
There are also the giant wolf Fenrir, the poisonous dragon Nidhogg, the earthly python Jörmungandr, etc. Therefore, it is not an easy task to attack the Norse gods. It is possible to kick the World Tree. A **** who can stir up a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry, I'm ready." Cory Busso smiled, "I already have enough strength, I think I can win."
"Then I wish you immediate success and great success!" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Cory Busso nodded.
…
Cory Busso left after talking to Xiang Nan. In the next few years, Xiang Nan never heard from Cory Buso.
Even though he took out the crystal ball and called Cory Busso, there was still no response. This made Xiang Nan worried, not knowing whether Cory Buso was alive or dead.
Moreover, perhaps due to the influence of this divine war that broke out in the spiritual world, the hostility in the real world is also increasing. The spiritual world and the real world originally influence each other and influence each other subtly.
When the spiritual world is in turmoil, the real world will also be uneasy. While the real world is turbulent, the spiritual world is also turbulent.
Nowadays, the real world is becoming more and more violent. Not only are conflicts between countries intensifying, but there are also conflicts within countries. Between old and young, between men and women, between bosses and workers, between parents and children...
There were more and more conflicts, and the gaps were getting bigger and bigger. Even Elizabeth rarely lost her temper with Xiang Nan, thinking that immortality and eternal youth were really not a good thing.
"I really don't want to live anymore. Living is meaningless. I have no relatives, no friends, no one to confide my secrets to. I'm going crazy. I really don't want to live anymore." She complained to Xiang Nan.
Because of their eternal youth and immortality, they cannot live in one place for a long time and can only keep changing their identities and addresses.
And this also makes them lonely. Xiang Nan is not afraid of being alone, because he can still practice Qigong. Practicing 24 hours a day is not a bad thing for him. But Elizabeth had nothing to do, so she naturally felt bored.
Xiang Nan could only comfort her first, there was no other way for the time being.
…
As time went on, the real world became more and more hostile, and eventually war began to break out.
At the beginning, it was just some local wars, and people didn't pay attention. Even Xiang Nan didn't stop it.
But later, due to the rise of a madman, the intensity of the war suddenly increased to a higher level. With the launch of the first nuclear bomb, World War III began.
On the first day of the war, thousands of nuclear bombs were dropped. There were mushroom clouds everywhere, explosions and flames everywhere, the whole earth was shaking, and even the ocean was boiling.
The dust produced by the explosion obscured the sky, making it impossible for even sunlight to penetrate.
Hundreds of millions of people died on the first day. After that, the war continued, and the remaining people did not live long and died of nuclear radiation, extreme cold, and starvation.
The once prosperous and noisy city has become a deserted and empty city in the blink of an eye; the supermarkets that were once full of shelves and dazzling array of products are now difficult to find a bite to eat...
Half a year later, there were almost no living people on the entire earth, and most of the land was covered with radioactive dust and was no longer suitable for human life.
Therefore, even if they escaped the nuclear bomb and the war, the remaining people would become sick and die one after another under the intense radiation.
Even the fishmen of Atlantis and the Amazons on Amazon Island were all wiped out because nuclear torpedoes and nuclear missiles accidentally fell into Atlantis and Amazon Island.
Fortunately, before the war started, Xiang Nan took Elizabeth underground, so they escaped the nuclear bomb and radiation. Moreover, they had Hufflepuff's golden cup and no shortage of food and drink.
But the whole world turned into purgatory, which still made Xiang Nan extremely horrified.
He didn't expect the world to become like this. He just relaxed his management after the Goddess Church got on the right track. He didn't expect those people to destroy the world.
"How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake? I went too far by giving you freedom~" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh. It seemed too late to say anything now.
Now the ground is full of nuclear radiation, and even he is unable to clean it up. Therefore, looking at this ruin-like world, Xiang Nan feels very sorry.
Elizabeth was naturally even more sad.
No matter how lonely she was before, there were still many people around her. She can go shopping, eat, watch movies, play games, and even go to bars to chat with people, which is always a pastime.
But now that the whole world has been destroyed, and only Xiang Nan is left by her side, how will she live in the future?
"Let me die. I really don't want to live anymore. Everyone is dead. What should I do if I'm still alive?" She couldn't help but say again.
She really has had enough now. Especially since the whole world was ruined, she really didn't want to live anymore. It was really painful for just the two of them, guarding the ruins.
Xiang Nan himself was a little disheartened. He originally wanted to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years and absorb souls to strengthen himself. But now everyone is dead, and Cory Busso doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and has not fulfilled his promise for several years, so this world is no longer interesting, and he is ready to leave.
Therefore, when Elizabeth drank water containing nuclear radiation, he did not stop her or rescue her.
