One hundred and sixtieth eight chapters bumpy divine way
When Iger asked Calvin this question, Levi looked at him with some confusion, but did not interrupt him immediately.
Become a god!
In Corell, it is undoubtedly a word full of magic.
Even the popular stories in the main material world are filled with the longing of mortals for gods.
There are also many professionals who have stepped into legends, hoping that one day they can bathe in the mountains, light the sacred fire, raise the throne to the sky, and become the brightest star in the night sky.
Because only by becoming a god can one be immune to natural death.
But anyone who has a little understanding of the origins of the gods will get a shocking answer.
That is the so-called person who believes in becoming a god from mortal life, not a single one!
Yes, none!
In fact, except for the first group of ancient gods who were born naturally from the world of Corell, most of the gods that appeared later were foreign. They embedded themselves into the underlying laws of Corell.
The most famous among them is Corellon, the representative of the elven pantheon.
This guy is a typical immigrant from a world that is about to be destroyed with his family, and he lives a very harmonious life, without any intention of calling himself an outsider.
Therefore, all the named priests in the entire world of Corel are basically like a carrot and a pit, fully occupied.
Otherwise, with Karsus' ability, he wouldn't have tried to seize the priesthood of the Goddess of Magic.
So why do some people keep going forward despite knowing that there is no way ahead?
And why do the gods turn a blind eye to these challengers?
Li Wei found the answer from the knowledge passed down by the dragon.
Some dragons with great age and strength, as well as some dragon priests, paladins, and blackguards will choose to advance to the level of divine dragon when they gain enough power.
Dragons of the Gods are mostly arrogant and often aloof. They regard the road to the Gods as a competition and will not choose to share the same path with others.
Once they break through the limits of mortal life, they will also become a god, a quasi-god with 0 godhood and no priesthood.
Therefore, the paths of other creatures to becoming gods are mostly imitated by the path of the God-conferring Dragon.
And once they succeed, they will be accepted by the gods of that pantheon and become their most perfect servants!
What an irony.
After struggling all his life, the result is just to be a cow and a horse for the gods who once tried to replace him.
What's even more ironic is that once the dragon ascends to the throne and becomes the Dragon of the Gods, his age growth will also stagnate.
They chose to escape death, but thus cut off their most important source of power.
This is why none of the great arcanists in Netheril chose to become gods.
The wealth of knowledge broadened their horizons and enriched their personality and dignity, making them no longer able to bow their knees to the gods.
In Edmund's "Meditative Prayer Method", gods are also divided into three major categories.
That is: the original god. That is, similar to the first generation magic goddess, the earth goddess Shantia and the alien god Corellon, etc.
Second, becoming a god by being ennobled. But perhaps the gods maintain their own mystery. This kind of ennoblement is generally relatively secretive, and the ennobled gods will not take the initiative to reveal their identities.
The last one is similar to the Dragon of the Gods, which becomes a god through self-growth, but in fact, they will eventually discover that in the end, this is just a 'scam'.
Either accept the 'recruitment' and become a servant of the pantheon, or give up the immortality you have fought for all your life and welcome death.
However, most of them would lower their once proud heads and let the gods crown them in the clouds.
But what I have to say is that Calvin’s case is too special.
He gained the primitive worship of a newly civilized and imbecile race.
And no one has ever tried this method to become a god before.
Because most creatures, after a long period of domestication, are unable to spontaneously worship and pray to a specific existence like the Caverns rat.
Therefore, even if he does not compete with other gods for those existing priesthoods, he can still choose the God of Cavins and become his own priesthood.
Therefore, Levi could understand Eagle, as a researcher, being enthusiastic about this unknown possibility, and he was also curious about what Calvin would answer.
However, to everyone's expectation, Calvin's eyes widened slightly when he heard this sentence, his breathing became faster, and then he asked with a wry smile:
"In that case, what price do I have to pay?"
Seeing how Calvin could remain so calm in the face of the temptation to become a god, Igor could not help but admire him and nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good. No wonder you can still stay awake despite the faith of hundreds of thousands of Cavins rats day and night. It seems that you yourself do not have a strong desire to become a god."
Calvin lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "Yes, if it were twenty-one years ago, before I entered the Dark Territory, I might have agreed without hesitation, because I knew nothing about power at that time.
"If it were eleven years ago, before I met my boss, I would have bowed to this opportunity, because at that time I had no way forward and no way to retreat.
"If it was eight years ago, before I had any contact with arcana, I might still have fallen into fanaticism, because only after I tasted the surge of power, I would worship power even more.
"But now, Brad's Arcane Codex has really benefited me a lot, making me understand that even the gods are just a group of powerful beings that are parasitic on the rules of the world.
"I am still in awe of their power, and I am sincerely grateful to the gods like the first-generation Magic Goddess who are loyal to their duties and silently guard Corell.
"But the knowledge of arcane arts also made me understand that when becoming a god, I must pay a due price, and this price is probably not something that my little me can bear."
Hearing these words, which were not very inspiring but came from the heart, made Fisher and Tiger, who had become envious and fanatical and even a little jealous when they heard the word becoming a god, realized their situation, and were affected by Gal.
Wen's infection calmed down.
"Yes, what I want to say is that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a god has indeed appeared in front of you, but according to my analysis, once you really choose this path, you are likely to embark on a
It's an inhumane road, and it will be extremely dangerous." Eagle said.
"What do you mean?" Levi asked on behalf of Calvin, who was frowning and silent.
Iger saluted Levi and said: "Boss, I wonder if you have ever noticed, what kind of gods are all the gods believed by these imbecile races?"
"The Evil God of the Abyss?" Li Wei frowned and murmured.
"Yes, they are the evil gods in the abyss."
Ige affirmed this answer and continued: "The gods are actually a very special group of existences. Their teachings deeply affect every believer, and the believers' beliefs will have a reverse effect on the gods.
"It is for this reason that the doctrines formulated by the gods, in a sense, are not just about spreading transactions and practicing their clerical duties, but about screening their own believers. Too many complex beliefs will lead to
Contaminate their clergy and alignment.
"Of course, if a believer can truly be enlightened and sincerely convert to their camp and doctrine, they will be happy to accept it.
It suddenly dawned on Li Wei. No wonder that most of the believers of the righteous gods are dragons, elves, humans, and dwarves with advanced civilization and wisdom.
Then Iger looked at Calvin and made a rare joke: "If the prayers you receive every day are just rounds of vague or even self-contradictory nonsense, then sooner or later you will go crazy. You have to be lucky to be yourself
Can’t understand Cavans Rat Language.”
When Calvin heard this, he broke into a cold sweat.
Then Igo stared into Calvin's eyes and said:
"But it will be different if you really use this to become a god one day. When you hold the throne high and ascend to the star realm, fantasy and reality will become one.
"At that time, under the prayers of thousands of Cavans rat believers, you will transform into a low-minded and chaotic Cavens rat and become a rat god.
"And the camp you are in will not be determined. Unlike the already existing gods, who can decide the camp of their believers on their own, you can only passively let your believers decide.
"Moreover, it is very likely that because of this reason, you will not be welcomed by the gods of the star world, and you will also be remembered and hostile by the gods of the abyss because of your new priesthood!
"You will struggle to survive between the two! You cannot die!
"Calvin, since you have no intention of becoming such a god, just listen to my advice! Find a way out of this situation as soon as possible!
"Otherwise, as the Caverns rat group grows, you yourself will be affected even more. By then, I'm afraid, it won't just be as simple as growing a few horns.
"It's best for the Cavins to establish their own new gods!
