"What's the problem?" Levi asked, squinting his eyes.

The aboleth trembled in fright, and immediately regretted that he had said so much:

"I don't know what the specific problem is. I just heard the boss of Skull Port and the devil fish lord mention it casually."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him more and more like food, Sarakra, whose scales were about to stand up, turned his brain crazily and said:

"But you know it just by thinking about it! Arkham is a famous pirate leader who has been active on the Sword Coast since last century, but he is not a lich. In today's era, except for the spells that you humans can use to extend their lives,

There are only so many prayer techniques.”

Almost without listening to this salted fish continue to ramble, everyone could not help but suddenly come up with an answer:

That is Arkham, the man who to some extent single-handedly founded the Arcane Brotherhood, this veritable dictator of Luskan, is he approaching the end of his life?

So we began to seek ways to reverse this result through the gods?

This seems to barely explain it.

I am afraid that apart from the gods in the sky, there are few people in this world who are more aware of the shortcomings of those life-extending spells than Li Wei, who has inherited Nether's arcane magic.

The Netherese era can be said to be the peak era when various life-extending techniques were developed.

Because before, whether it was giant dragons or elves, these immortal species did not have many concerns in this regard.

Giant dragons may be better off. As long as they successfully survive their old age, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the dragons can fly. The older they get, the more lethargic they become. They are truly enjoying the leisurely life of dragons.

The nature of elves, especially high elves, is actually a bit chaotic. Behind them are the immortal species covered by the elves and gods. Anyway, the soul has to enter the country of Avande after death, so they often like to do things as soon as they live longer.

die.

They were the ones who had already unified Corell back then, but still tried to build a Corell version of the 'Sunwell' in the middle of the continent, almost blowing up the entire planet.

Now they are the ones who have created a terrorist-like organization that is a "harpist who sacrifices himself for others".

But they are still intoxicated in this kind of "self-sacrifice" and can't help themselves.

Therefore, elves are typical perceptual creatures that pursue process more than results. Most of these creatures care more about realizing their "value of life" than lifespan.

As for the bunch of drow gangsters, let’s not mention those severe sex addicts who were persecuted by Rose’s workplace PUAs.

Human beings are just the opposite, especially the group of great arcanists who stood at the crown of magic back then. These are a group of creatures that can ignore the process and even use any means to achieve results and the optimal solution.

In order to pursue this kind of result and ultimate, human beings who are born as short-lived species are much more persistent in ways to extend their lives.

Among the possible paths that have been developed back then, they include at least the continuation of spells such as the wish spell, the continuation of the biological type by transplanting the blood of the Immortal Seed, the continuation of the mechanical or elemental transformation of one's own body, etc.

These methods are indeed effective, but they all have their drawbacks and limitations.

For example, blood transplantation will most likely encounter problems similar to Blue Star's 'internal immune system rejection' or 'gene collapse'. Physical transformation and lich transformation lead to the same goal, and soul trauma and continuous mental collapse are inevitable.

It is true that life can be effectively extended through prayer or other spells, but the body will still be continuously eroded by time and magic, causing the gradually weakening body to gradually become unable to bear it. Every waking minute

, can all feel that their weak and sickly bodies are gradually collapsing.

It is precisely because of these many shortcomings that Iolum, who originally developed the 'Iolum Immortality Technique', is so highly regarded.

But even the seemingly perfect Iolum Immortality Technique has a fatal drawback after the appearance of the Felin Demon Sunflower with [Magic Absorption]!

Once the 'Iolum Immortality Technique' fails, these great arcane masters who seem to have controlled part of the 'laws' and 'authority' will seem to fall back into the violent torrent of time, turning into ashes and disappearing in an instant.

not see.

It's a pity that, let alone the 'Iolum Immortality Spell', even the other life-extending spells mostly disappeared due to the collapse of that glorious country.

However, even after deducing Iolum's motives, Levi still had doubts about this seemingly logical result!

In the final analysis, it still comes down to those four words.

Mortals become gods?

Levi just laughed.

If it were really that easy to become a god, all the great arcanists who were in the same period would have collectively 'ascended' long ago.

Did the talented Karsus still need to study the ‘Incarnation of Karsus’ to usurp the throne of the first generation of magic goddess, but did it lead to that tragedy? Fastest update PC version::/

Even Calvin and the Lich-reincarnated ‘Messail’ had heard about the life of Varigan, and he seemed to have a nose and eyes.

But at least among the many 'dream memories' and history that Li Wei came into contact with, there seems to be no god who has truly been proven to be a mortal in the form of a god without the help of any 'external force'.

The logic is also very simple. Even the gods themselves fought for the 'uniqueness', setting off a divine war that affected the entire inner and outer planes of Corell and destroyed countless mortal kingdoms. The gods presented a

What a pitfall situation.

How could they easily allow mortals to 'threaten' their position?

To put it bluntly, Corell's path to becoming a god may have existed a long time ago, but it has long been monopolized by the gods in this world.

If you want to become a god, you can, just be my dog.

The few examples Li Wei knew of mortals becoming gods all had the shadow of the gods in the world behind them.

For example, Azuth, the God of Mage, successfully ascended to power with the help of Mystra and became the God of Magic Mage after he bewitched Savras, the current God of Prophecy.

Another example is the Yin Red Knight, the goddess of strategy, who is directly called Godfather of Tempus, the god of battle.

Well, no, according to the believers of the God of War, it is that they 'regard Tempus as their father and serve the king of battle loyally'

There is also the patron saint of rangers, Gueron Storm, a famous handsome ranger in the North.

According to the description in the Bard Biography, he is a human man with a head full of flowing white hair and a long, white beard. He is widely respected among the rangers in the North.

Finally, he died under a laurel tree in the west of Three Wild Boar Town. After becoming a "heroic spirit", he was promoted and "served" Melikai together with Xionlia.

As for the immortal goddess of revenge Qiyawensari, according to the legends of the drow, she was originally the queen of dark elves in another material world. She was kidnapped by Rose, a female snake spirit, and made her a slave of the god. In order to make her surrender,

God knows how many sleepless nights he spent in the dark pit, tortured and disciplined.

When these dark histories of the gods flowed through Levi's mind, he suddenly remembered that Vol'jin's little hooves had to come forward to protect him at the risk of offending Tiamat, the mother of evil dragons, just to make him owe a favor.

, and then used the so-called 'prophecy' of Taimora, the goddess of luck, to fool herself into signing an alliance treaty.

Li Wei, who was thinking about it carefully, couldn't help but wonder:

‘Does this little bitch Swogin really plan to raise a baby dragon and seduce me to be his follower when my roots are deep?’

Once again, I think of so many dragon knights on Paradise Mountain

‘Fuck! I hold you like a golden thigh, but you actually want to ride me?!

'Sure enough, a male dragon should protect himself well when he is alone outside. There are simply not enough immoral goddesses these days.'

Li Wei's thinking finally returned to rationality after fluctuating for a while because of this conjecture:

Since the opportunity for a mortal to become a god is so elusive, would a hero like Arkham gamble with the fate of the entire country of Luskan?

So either the so-called Land of God's Fall has something else that can make him confident enough to turn the tide in this war involving the entire Northland.

Or maybe he has secretly made some kind of deal with a certain god?

But if we use this method to interfere in the Moon-Sea War at this time, wouldn't it be a blatant break with the tacit understanding of the gods, and even make it clear that we are going against the goddess of magic and the goddess of wealth?

Just when Levi was deep in thought, Edwina on the side pushed the Templar aside with some worry:

"Randall, what's wrong with you?"

This voice that broke the silence couldn't help but focus everyone's attention.

I saw Randall raised his head with fear and said:

"What they said may be true."

"What's true?"

Edwina was a little confused.

Randall covered his head and murmured:

"The martial arts master has taught us since childhood that we must work hard to practice martial arts in order to be qualified for the tasks assigned to us by the God of Justice.

"He said that there is an evil being sealed underground in the temple, and our task is to guard it forever.

"We even faced it head-on at one point during our Templar trials.

"It's just that I didn't expect

"That could be a god"

Even a dead god.
