After crossing a light door, Levi, Cindy and Dr. Festus came to an unknown territory together.
Li Wei originally thought that this place might be a bloody battlefield, or that it might be filled with bright energy, just like the Heavenly Mountain.
But when he actually arrived, Li Wei found that the place was full of beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there was even smoke from cooking stoves in the distance, just like a mortal village in the main world.
A middle-aged man covered in golden armor and with a big beard, who looked a bit rough and wild, was waiting with a smile.
Although the other party seemed to be a mortal, Levi subconsciously knew that the other party must be the God Emperor Sigma.
Before Levi could say anything, Dr. Festus behind him fell to his knees with a "pop" and burst into tears on the spot, as if he had countless grievances in his heart.
While crying, he also told how desperate he felt when he was helpless against the plague and watched the patients die. He really wanted to save them, but he couldn't.
So when the Nurgle demons said they had a solution, he was really tempted.
This performance actually startled Cindy, who was about to salute, and she even felt a little at a loss for a moment.
According to the church's regulations, if they hope to see Sigma in person, believers need to kneel down and bow to the ground to show their respect.
But now that he was interrupting her, she didn't know what to do.
But she didn't know why, but despite this, her mood quickly calmed down, as if all this was a very normal thing.
Seeing all this, Levi knew that this must be some kind of special power of Sigma, and it might not even be intentional by the other party, but it was just emitted naturally, and Dr. Festus couldn't bear it anymore.
Well, maybe Sigma is still deliberately restraining himself, and even this place is definitely chosen by him.
Although the kingdom of the gods sounds wonderful, it may not be suitable for mortals to survive.
Although a series of information flashed through his mind, Levi remained calm on the surface. He just pulled Cindy, who seemed a little at a loss, and respectfully bowed to Sigma.
The other party is the founding emperor of the Sigma Empire. He claims to be a god of war and strength with god level 14, and he has always been a vanguard against many evils.
At the same time, his Church of Sigmar is currently the most powerful religious force in the empire. No matter who the other party is, they are worthy of Li Wei's heartfelt awe.
Sigma smiled: "Levi, you are younger and more special than I expected."
After waving his hand and scattering a little golden light, Dr. Festus, who was still bewildered, immediately calmed down. When he realized his situation, his face instantly turned red.
Because he had no idea what he was doing just now, and at the same time, he was worried that his performance would make Sigma misunderstand that he was deliberately pretending.
In comparison, it was not particularly important that he had been tempted by the devil's promise, because before coming here, he had already prepared for it, and he was willing to pay any price. This was all his responsibility.
Got it.
But Sigma just smiled: "Festus, I feel your compassion for others. Don't worry, you will get a solution to the plague."
After hearing this, Festus was completely relieved, and then he fell directly and began to fall asleep.
Sigma waved his hand again and teleported Festus away. Then he turned to look at Cindy: "Your parents are waiting for you. Do you want to go see them?"
Is it even necessary to ask? The answer is of course a huge yes.
I can still see my father occasionally, but I haven't seen my mother for a long time.
But despite the unprecedented excitement in her heart, Cindy still managed to restrain it, and just turned her head to look at Levi, intending to ask.
Maybe she didn't even notice it, but in fact at this moment, Levi's status in her heart not only surpassed Sigma, but also surpassed her biological parents.
Of course Levi nodded immediately. He didn't even think about why Sigma left him alone. He just wanted to fulfill Cindy's wish.
They are not only superiors and subordinates to each other, but also brothers and sisters.
Cindy then left cheering. She had already seen the familiar pair of figures at the entrance of the small village in the distance.
Seeing this, Sigma also felt a little emotional. This deep emotion even transcended ordinary blood ties and beliefs. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even he would have doubts. Did they really only know each other for a few months?
So after a few seconds, only Levi and Sigma were left on the scene.
Before Levi could speak, Sigma had already taken the lead and said: "Festus's identity is nothing special, but he is expected to become the most outstanding doctor in the main world."
"Perhaps because of this, Nurgle wants to corrupt him and transform him into a demon to spread plague and disease in the main world for Nurgle. This is some kind of evil intention of Nurgle."
"That's it. Thank you God for clearing up the confusion."
It turns out that it’s not that I’m blind, it’s that there really isn’t anything special about Festus.
But if Nurgle wants to, once he succeeds, it will be relatively simple to make Festus a legend. By then, Festus will definitely become a huge success with his achievements in plague and disease.
Disaster.
Now that I have saved Festus, I have eliminated a disaster for the main world in advance.
Sigma nodded slightly: "Levi, I noticed your actions in Lustria, and also noticed that you were collecting the nine volumes of Nagash. I also witnessed with my own eyes the support of the three major heavenly clans for you. So tell me, you
What kind of god do you want to be?”
"Death, purification, or light?"
Levi was silent for a moment. He was not surprised that Sigma knew this. Not to mention the power of gods, there were also many human adventurers in Lustria.
Even if most demon toads hate human adventurers, at this special time, they cannot kill all the intruders because there is no telling what gods will support them.
If there are some people who believe in Sigmar, and they are aware of the rise of the Serekite Church and their previous actions to purify the plague, then it is completely understandable.
It's just that Levi couldn't really answer what Sigma said for a while, because it has been bothering him recently.
What's more, judging from the relationship between the two parties, it's not Sigma's turn to ask this question, right?
Unless, he is not simply asking, but also providing a solution to the problem!
After calming down, Levi looked directly into Sigma's eyes: "If possible, of course I would choose to have them all!"
"Hahaha, okay, I can try to help you solve this problem. In exchange, I have two conditions."
"First, after you ascend to God, we will establish an eternal alliance. No matter what evil we face, I hope you can stand with me."
Li Wei thought about it carefully and found that this condition actually did not restrict him much, because Sigma's policy against enemies was actually very close to that of the Celestial Clan.
In addition to demons, demons and other otherworldly evils, there are also evil alien races such as the undead, beastmen, ratmen, and greenskins. Now we also have to add the Four Gods of Chaos and the demons under their command.
Although Sigma also hates other human evil gods, such as Cyric, the Prince of Lies who everyone calls for beating, he has always maintained extreme restraint. Unless the other party actively provokes them, he usually chooses to ignore them.
Simply put, he doesn't like fighting civil wars with humans.
If it is a kind and neutral god, Sigma is basically cold and keeps a certain distance.
In addition to the dwarf gods, his friends in the strict sense include the Three Saints of Justice and the goddess of justice, Valena, and other kind and righteous gods.
And another god of war believed in by the second largest sect in the Sigma Empire, Ulric, nicknamed the White Wolf. When Sigma was still a mortal, he was a believer in the White Wolf God.
Then, because many halflings habitually work as cooks for human nobles, and there is some friendship between the two races, the relationship between the halfling gods and Sigmar is acceptable.
But the halfling gods are not only declining like the dwarf gods, but they are also much weaker than the dwarf gods. They are all supported by a powerful and powerful mother of halfling gods, Yondala.
Next, there is 1 weak one, 3 weak ones, and a demigod. It can be said that there is a very serious gap in the middle, and most of their priesthoods and fields are not very good.
When facing the Goblin Gods and the Furious Gods, they were basically too busy to take care of themselves, and they were even less likely to provide much help to Sigmar at the critical moment.
As for the gods of other races, whether they are elves or others, Sigma basically has no friends.
only.
"Just facing evil?"
Sigma once gave Cindy 1 point of divinity, which contained the power of the solar realm. This shows that Sigma has been immersed in it for a long time.
Once this matter is known to Lathander, the God of Dawn, if Sigma does not give up voluntarily, there will be only one result, and the two sides will go to war.
But Li Wei is not optimistic about Sigma, because Lathander's group of relatives and friends is too strong. The Three Saints of Justice and other gods who are friendly with Sigma are also friendly with Lathander.
Sigma's allies, the dwarf gods, have also declined. While fighting against the greenskin gods and others, it is difficult to say how much support they can give Sigma.
Once the two sides go to war, Sigma will almost immediately be besieged by the other side.
For most gods, when it comes to disputes about priesthood and belief, no matter what the opponent's camp is, they are heretics who need to be defeated.
Of course Sigma knew what Levi was talking about. In fact, that was what he had been thinking about.
He immediately said seriously: "If you are willing to take action by then, then I will be very happy, but if you do things and watch from the sidelines, I will never complain."
Even if the two parties form an alliance, he will never ask the other party to do something beyond their capabilities.
"Okay, of course I am willing to form an alliance with God."
Although even if they form an alliance, they may not be able to get much help in most cases, but a lot of Sigma's knowledge is still very rare, especially the field of war, which is what Lilith has always longed for.
"The second condition is that I hope that one day I can go to Heaven Mountain, Paradise and the depths of the Star King's Court to experience the true light."
So far, there is no real god of light. Even the powerful Lathander only symbolizes the morning sun and dawn, and other gods are like moonlight at best.
But those are not what Sigma wants. He does not want to become the God of Light, but he wants to perfect his priesthood by comprehending the true light.
As the core of the pure good force of the entire universe, the core area of the plane where the three major heavenly clans are located is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
But even a kind-hearted god like him cannot really be allowed to enter such a core area.
This has been bothering him until he broke through the powerful divine power. When the divine power was at its highest and most consistent with the consciousness of the world, he got a possibility and a name - Levi.
So he began a long search.
It was precisely because of this name that he specially sent the Angel of Light in the Dark Territory to save Levi and Cindy from danger.
But Xi Angel didn't see too many abnormalities in Li Wei at that time. Li Wei's talent was considered good, but it was only good.
It wasn't until Li Wei changed his profession to become the Mystic Master of the Heaven Realm that he was roughly sure about it. It wasn't until Li Wei received the Seven Blessings from Heaven Mountain and was recognized by many legendary heavenly clans that he was completely confirmed.
But Li Wei looked at Sigma helplessly, "Master, you think too highly of me, don't you?"
Yes, the three major heavenly clans have always treated me well, especially the Messenger of Mercy, etc. They always come when called upon, as if they have formed a team with him.
He is still the kind of excellent teammate who does not ask for any loot, charges forward in every battle, and accepts orders 100%.
But this doesn't mean that they really fully accept themselves.
The most obvious thing is that Li Wei asked the Watcher through the Mercy Messenger a long time ago if he knew any information about the Dragon God of Cathay - Light Dragon - Shen Zhu, but the other party has not given any response until now.
Although this most likely means that the other party really knows something, the fact that the other party didn't even say a word is quite strange.
The relationship between the Gaidin Clan and the Aithorn Clan may be relatively worse, especially the chaotic, kind and very willful Aithorn Clan. Even the Whirlwind Wrath, who is closest to them, is actually
That way.
Why does Sigma think he has the ability to take him there?
Moreover, Sigma probably wants to go to these places because he wants to obtain the priesthood of light, which conflicts with Li Wei's plan.
Although strictly speaking, even in the same divine system, there may be multiple duplicate priesthoods at the same time, but that requires that some of them can never transcend weak divine powers.
If there are gods from different pantheons and different races, conflicts and wars are even more inevitable.
If Levi and Sigma both aspire to the priesthood of light, even if there is a covenant, is it possible that Levi will always be the weaker party?
Looking at Levi's expression, Sigma knew what he was probably worried about, so he said directly: "I have no intention of light, what I want is the sun, holiness and purification, and I don't want you to help me do it now.
These."
Upon hearing this, Levi immediately knew that Sigma was probably going to fight Lathander to the death.
With this confidence, Sigma may have successfully been promoted to a powerful god, and he may have secretly formed an alliance with some gods.
So Li Wei nodded seriously: "Okay, I accept this condition."
He didn't think Sigma would lie. This had nothing to do with the other party's character. It involved such a major matter, and the two parties would definitely sign a formal contract by then.
And from the current point of view, Levi doesn't need to pay much in a short period of time.
Even if he and Sigma choose to advance and retreat together when facing evil, he will not lose the protection of Lilith because of this.
Once the elves and gods become gods, they tend to place the Kingdom of God in the Kingdom of Avandor in the Wilderness. There are now at least twenty elves and gods gathered there. As long as Li Wei also arranges the Kingdom of God there in the future
, he was immediately safe.
Even if the elves and gods have some contradictions and conflicts with each other due to their factions and ideals, they can still maintain unity when dealing with the outside world, and no fool will be stupid enough to go there to find trouble.
Although he didn't think Levi would refuse, Sigma felt a little relieved when he heard that he actually agreed.
"Okay, then the next step is what I have to pay."
"Except for the bear god Esun, I have a pretty good relationship with the other three gods of Kislev: Daz, the god of fire, Saliyah, the goddess of healing, and Thor, the god of thunder and light."
"With the help of me and the three major heavenly clans, you have a great chance of successfully obtaining the two priesthoods of Purification and Light."
Kislev, the country of ice and snow, has always been a barrier to the Sigma Empire in the north, resisting the invasion of barbarians such as the Norscans all year round. Therefore, based on the consideration of lips and teeth, the Sigma Empire also gave Kislev a lot of help.
.
Gradually, Sigmar also had good contacts with many gods in Kislev.
Even Sigma began to secretly help the other party resist the invasion of some evil gods, such as the Frost Maiden-Oluel in the Furious Gods, etc.
In addition, both sides have no allies in the outside world, so it is only natural that they form an alliance secretly.
Only the relationship between the Bear God Esun and Sigmar is relatively ordinary, and there is no conflict at all. It is just that the Bear God Esun believes that Mrs. Kislev should not bear the invasion of the Norscans on behalf of the Sigma Empire.
Mrs. Kislev resisted the invasion of the Norscans for the Sigma Empire. If the Sigma Empire gave a little charity, Mrs. Kislev would be grateful. The Bear God Esun thought this relationship was very abnormal.
But due to geographical reasons, unless the Kislevites carried out a large-scale migration to make way for the Norscans to go south, he would be unable to change this situation at all.
In the end, the bear god Esun could only use silence and indifference as a silent protest against Sigma.
Sigma's evaluation of the patron saint of Kislev is respectable, cute, pitiful, and childish.
But it's no wonder that he actually knows some of the other party's secrets. The other party is different from most gods. The bear god Esun is a god born from the pure faith of Mrs. Kislev and many coincidences.
Therefore, the bear god Esun naturally has more sympathy for Mrs. Kislev, and he even regards himself as a part of Kislev to some extent. These are the other three gods of Kislev.
It can never be done.
Unfortunately, for gods, such feelings should not exist. Believers and faith are food and wealth for gods, but they should not become shackles.
One day, the Bear God-Esun will pay the price for this.
After hearing this, Li Wei had to admit that Sigma's proposal was indeed very good.
Fire and thunder and lightning both have the ability to kill plagues, and the healing goddess is even more proficient in purifying plagues. With their help, the success rate is indeed very high.
"As for the God of Death, maybe you can try to go to the star realm to find a God of Death who is definitely gone, and then resurrect as him and develop power from scratch."
"If necessary, I can also help you search, or conduct the most basic missionary preparations and experiments among humans, for example, the Brass Fortress."
Sigma, on the other hand, doesn't have much objection to the human god of death, Kelanvor. Although he feels that the other party is sometimes a little weak, this is still not the reason why he and the other party are enemies.
But from the moment Levi wants to become the God of Death, other Gods of Death will inevitably be affected by this. This is inevitable.
Although this may require more power, the Sigmar Cult is the state religion of the empire, and he has gained a lot of power because of it. He can still get some fragments of the godhead and divinity.
After hearing this, although there were still some puzzlements, such as why Sigma was so sure that he could do it, Levi still sighed at Sigma's generosity.
With so much power, Sigma could actually create a slave god himself, but he chose to give the opportunity to himself.
Well, you can't say that. Who knows that Sigma didn't try it?
It was the last plan that further improved Li Wei's originally vague ideas.
At the same time, he also has a more bold idea. If everything goes well, maybe it is not necessary to go to the star realm.
No, it's better to be prepared, and you can't rely entirely on luck. After all, it's the girl of misfortune who protects you, not the goddess of luck.
While thinking about it, Levi nodded to Sigma very seriously: "Okay, then I would like to thank God for his kindness. I will also convey your kindness to Lilith and other gods."
In addition to wanting to perfect the priesthood, he also formed an alliance with himself to find a strong ally. Sigma had already communicated with Lilith before, and Li Wei was naturally willing to help.
"Very good, Levi, I'm looking forward to your future. When you're fully prepared, you can come to me at any time to fulfill your promise."
In fact, there are no particularly strict level requirements for people to become gods. In theory, as long as they have enough godheads and priesthoods, it is possible for a level 1 hero to reach the sky in one step.
Of course, in the actual process, even if it reaches legend, it is often difficult to withstand the huge power and vast knowledge brought by the godhead and so on.
However, according to Li Wei's current strength, it is actually possible for him to become a god.
After thinking about it, Levi also selectively told Sigma what Serekite said about the residual poison that sealed "Ra".
Sigma immediately showed strong interest.
Strictly speaking, ancient gods are not necessarily stronger than existing gods. Many ancient gods have disappeared, and the remaining ancient gods may not necessarily have particularly high levels of godhood.
But when the number of gods was relatively rare, the ancient gods were often involved in multiple different powerful priesthoods or fields at the same time. Even for the same priesthood, their understanding may be completely different from the gods of later generations.
If you can obtain the knowledge of "Ra", you will definitely be able to better improve your strength, and your chances of defeating Lathander will definitely be higher in the future.
But recently he couldn't get out of it because he was too close to Vulcan Daz, and Lathander seemed to have some vague suspicions.
Many times, the gods don't need direct evidence, suspicion is enough.
But he is not fully prepared yet, and if he starts a war now, he is not sure of victory.
Moreover, if Li Wei went there together before he ascended to the gods, he would not get much benefit, but he might offend Lathander, which is also not cost-effective.
So in the end, both parties agreed that after Lathander relaxed a little and Li Wei officially ascended to the gods, they would go find out.
Of course, this is just a rough plan. If Lathander launches a war in advance, or if other accidents occur, then in order to strengthen the combat power as much as possible, Sigma will have no choice but to go there as soon as possible.
After a short silence, Levi spoke again: "About Cindy."
Although he didn't finish everything, Sigma certainly understood what he meant.
"I will respect your opinion and hers, including her parents'."
Levi nodded seriously again: "Thank you God, I can do it too."
"Very good. Now, let me teach you the knowledge of the healing goddess."
Sigma reached out and shared a little bit of light, which was knowledge about the medical field and some related experiences of the goddess of healing. During the recent plague, the goddess of healing also gained a lot of faith.
Li Wei naturally thanked him again. With this knowledge and the disaster avoidance book in his hand, from now on, the plague will no longer be a threat to him.
"As for Festus, I will make him unswayable by Nurgle or other demons."
Apart from having a moment of excitement when faced with Nurgle's temptation, Festus himself actually did nothing wrong. On the contrary, he was a doctor with a long-standing reputation in Altdorf, who had saved many people, and his alignment was neutral and good.
Killing him directly would be a waste and unfair to him.
If you let him go, Nurgle might come looking for you again later, which would be equally unsightly.
Therefore, the best solution is to put shackles on him and give him a certain amount of strength so that he can always walk on the road of worship.
"In addition, I can open all the permissions of the Brass Fortress to you, how about that?"
Levi immediately understood what Sigmar meant. He wanted to take Festus with him and use the Brass Fortress as the center to purify the surrounding plagues and diseases of Nurgle.
In this way, when your reputation spreads, even if you really become the God of Purification in the future, the mortals in the main world will have a great sense of recognition.
If he operates correctly, Festus may also admire him and may become an important member of his church in the future. This is the most ideal outcome for everyone.
By the way, the diseases that plagued several surrounding provinces will also be solved. This is also very beneficial to the Sigma Empire. It is to kill multiple birds with one stone.
