Before His Majesty William I, the founding king of Emsdam, the four ancestral spirits starting from Claudius, the founder of the family, were all the most outstanding patriarchs or clan members who made the greatest contribution in the past, spanning more than a thousand years.
Time, this is because apart from those who died young
Marcus and several other ancestors who inherited the blood of the Moon Elf lived a long life, often lasting hundreds of years. After that, in the middle of the Middle Ages, the ancestral spirits of the Hessenser family were basically all Emsdans.
Ancestors who have no other status as kings become heroic spirits.
Becoming an ancestral spirit is not something that can be achieved casually. For example, Klaus's father and grandfather were not able to become ancestral spirits after their death. John's parents were just retainers in this life, and there would be no chance, unless there was someone with a strong golden finger like John.
There is an act of force.
Of course, those tribesmen who are not qualified to become ancestral spirits do not all end up dissipating after death, because after becoming ancestral spirits, they can protect the souls of a few relatives from falling into the underworld after death, but the number of shelters is limited, and those who are protected by ancestral spirits
The state of the soul is between a dead soul and a heroic spirit. It has limited strength and is difficult to appear in the material world. That is to say, the population of the Heisenser family is sparse, otherwise the secret realm of the Heisenser family's underground palace would have been overcrowded.
Previously, Klaus had not seen his parents in the underground palace after the blood ceremony. Because his parents, who were separated from the family, died unexpectedly, and their souls were not returned to the family secret realm. They are now estimated to have dissipated between heaven and earth.
, it can be regarded as reincarnation in disguise.
However, Klaus's grandfather was once a knight who believed in the King of Knights, so after his death, his soul ascended to the Kingdom of God and continued to follow that Majesty. Grandfather and grandson can meet again if there is a chance.
It can be seen from this that although the existence of the ancestors' heroic spirits who protect the family inheritance may seem great, they are actually suffering in their hearts.
Just like every extraordinary person dreams of becoming a legend, every ancestral spirit longs to be promoted to a true god and get rid of this awkward state of being neither human nor god nor ghost. Moreover, there is also the King of Knights, the ancestor of the Holy Empire, who is the most important.
Successful examples.
Therefore, the Heisenser family, including the ancestral spirits and living clan members, have gone all out to prepare for this.
Next, John and William III and a group of ancestors discussed together to select the mountains, rivers, cities, and divide the lands currently owned by John and Emsdan, including the Sands State, the Grand Duchy of Flamengo, and the Kingdom of Hyjal.
There are thirteen realms, the size may be different, but they are not too different. These are the realms of gods that are entrusted to the ancestors as the basis for them to become gods.
Only the Antilles, where the royal capital is located, has not been canonized. That was left to Claudius, the family ancestor.
William I, who was the first to be conferred as a god, chose Jinsha Port as his place of protection, or it could be said that the other ancestors deliberately chose other places not to compete with William I, and then negotiated with each other.
Because Jinsha Port is the largest city under the Kingdom of Emsdan, second only to the Royal Capital, and occupies vast resources and land in the western part of the New World, its scale and future development will even exceed that of the main island of the Antilles, which is only 10,000 square miles.
, becoming the patron saint of Jinsha Port may not have the largest territory, but it is definitely a powerful god.
John's conferring ceremony was very simple compared to the traditional conferring ceremony in the main world. He just teleported the consecrating person and everyone onlookers to the center of Jinsha Port, and the power of the mirror flowers and water moon bloomed and enveloped the entire city, hypnotizing
all the people.
Then he set up an altar in the largest city square in Jinsha Port, communicated with the world's consciousness through rituals, and then successfully lowered his head to the legendary ancestor William I.
He had already held such a ceremony for his future father-in-law, Alfonso I, before, so he was basically familiar with it.
A star seemed to fall from the sky. After William I received the priesthood, his aura suddenly surged, and a dazzling golden light bloomed. Like a god descending from heaven, a dozens-foot-tall divine spirit appeared in the square.
Body, the power originally belonging to the legendary ancestral spirit quickly transformed into divine power as the priestly runes were transformed, and finally a priestly rune representing the patron saint of Jinsha Port was condensed on the top of his head.
"This is a rare opportunity!"
How can a mortal easily have the opportunity to see such a scene of divine authority that represents the manifestation of laws? Generally speaking, the divine authority of a true god is basically integrated into the god, and will not be separated unless the god falls, and mortals have no chance to watch it.
This kind of divine rune appears directly in the material world!
John endured the discomfort of being dazzled by the brilliance of the law through his divine vision, and grasped the world to carefully observe the priestly rune that appeared above the head of William I. He quickly analyzed that it contained protection, city, discipline, judgment,
Several clerical fields such as the deceased and business were brought about by the clergy, but also transformed by the legendary fields accumulated by William I over the years. The latter only accounted for a very small part.
The emergence of clerical fields such as protection, city, dead, and judgment is not surprising to John, because the Chinese-style deification ceremony he created is not imitating the city god?
The duty of the City God in China is to protect the people of a city, reward the good and punish the evil, and judge the sinners among the dead, just like the subordinate officials of the Netherworld Emperor in various places.
Moreover, the biggest feature of the gods in Middle-earth is that the priesthood is relatively vague, or the priesthood has relatively comprehensive authority. It can control a little bit of everything, but Erlang God still cares about delivering children? Although the City God mainly manages the order of the underworld in a city, he is also qualified to intervene.
Although the City God system seems to have no control over the lives of the demons and ghosts in the hand world and the crimes committed by mortals according to their authority, they can secretly let you die. When the soul falls into the City God's Yamen, it is not just left to the ghosts and gods.
flat?
The clerical fields such as business and discipline were either understood by William I himself, or spontaneously condensed by Jinsha Port, a city famous for its commerce, or both.
Returning to William I, the newly appointed patron saint of Jinsha Port, the appearance of the priestly runes was only for a brief moment. That is, only a being with divine vision like John could see clearly. The surrounding ancestral spirits except Claudius himself
The existence of the legendary pinnacle that has condensed part of the divinity, other ancestral spirits, even those in the legendary realm, could not see clearly. They only briefly touched the edge of the law, and the priestly rune disappeared into the forehead of William I.
John discovered that after the city guardian god he had magically modified in the main world was accepted by the world's consciousness, its existence was more like the original city god's authority that arose during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the previous life. It was not just the "management of a city that began to change in the Ming Dynasty"
Yin official", and
It is the kind that rules Yin and Yang. Regardless of the city gods in various periods in China, they are basically appointed by different people, such as loyal soldiers who died for their country, or upright and intelligent historical figures, or even by the local people themselves.
Officials elected who are honest and love the people.
Looking at William I, whose whole body was filled with divine glory, John said loudly:
"Your Majesty, you have now become the patron saint of Jinsha Port. Another advantage of the patron saint is that as long as you fulfill your priestly path, you will not be affected and eroded by the beliefs of all living beings. In the future, you will have the opportunity to further advance to a more powerful god.
, but that will only be possible if Your Majesty breaks through to the demigod level."
William I gathered his divine body and transformed into a human body. Feeling the new and powerful power in his body, he couldn't help but be filled with excitement.
