Chapter 1556
After receiving this information, a new idea suddenly came to Dak's mind.
Earl Stanley Longfellow, who was assigned by the king, and his female guard Gwen, could it be that they wanted to come to [Heaven] just for this?
Why can an old human regain his vigor overnight? The real reason why the old king was able to "regain his vigor" and even restore his complexion to his prime years is most likely because of the involvement of gods.
Considering that the time when he regained his vigor was after the [Devil King Execution Ceremony] on that day, it can be judged that the gods he is most likely to come into contact with should be those related to the underworld.
And the god of the underworld does have the relevant authority to give people a new life. In this way, it seems much more reasonable for him to send Earl Stanley Longfellow and his female guard Gwen to this [Heaven].
However, unfortunately, although they entered the Mountain of Gods and even entered the passage to [Heaven], they were eventually blocked at the door and could not even enter [Heaven] for a single step.
Because Hermes has authority related to the [Underworld], his tolerance to pollutants is higher than that of the other eleven gods.
So a thousand years ago, when the consciousness of the other eleven gods fell asleep one after another because they could not bear the pollution, he remained awake.
During this thousand years, he did a lot of things, including rebuilding the [Tower of Endymion] and guiding all the pollutants in the [Heaven] to the [Tower of Endymion]!
In other words, the essence of the [Tower of Endymion] is actually a "garbage tower".
Before the [Tower of Endymion] was used as a ritual site, the [Tower of Endymion] was positioned in this way.
The [Heaven] that Dak and others saw now is actually the result after cleaning.
And the creatures in this [Heaven] also began to multiply in large numbers after that.
To some extent, Hermes can be said to be the re-creator of [Heaven].
After that, he spent days alone in [Heaven].
Finally, one day, he suddenly found a crack in the barrier between [Heaven] and [the real world].
There was no reason for the crack.
But if you trace back history, you will find that such things without reason always happen frequently in certain special periods.
The easiest thing to think of is naturally the period of [Resurrection of the Gods]. History is a reincarnation.
Even the gods who have comprehended the rules of heaven and earth seem to be unable to escape this reincarnation.
Hermes realized that he might have survived the most difficult time, and a new era for the gods has finally arrived.
He is the god of borders and travelers who cross borders.
Although there was only a tiny crack in the barrier between [Heaven] and [the real world], it was enough for him.
But his consciousness was integrated with [Heaven] like other gods.
This concept is actually the same as "earthbound spirit". He cannot leave [Heaven].
Therefore, he can only rely on his own authority to listen to the voice of the world through the spread of wind.
But as the crack gradually grew larger and his research on that aspect became deeper and deeper, the information he could obtain from the [world] and the interference he could cause to the [world] became greater and greater.
He even developed several puppets in the [world] and did some interesting things to kill time.
But the development of mankind exceeded his expectations.
Since the strongest magician named Merlin developed the technology called "magic", the development of the human world has entered a path that he cannot see clearly.
But he is also the god of invention and business, born with the ability to create and learn.
Since he can't see that path clearly, he will learn and "steal". He began to learn magic technology, and occasionally even created and improved some magic technology, and spread it in his favorite way.
The reason why human magic technology can develop so smoothly and vigorously is definitely inseparable from his silent efforts behind the scenes.
But in the past ten years, magic technology seems to have opened up a certain key point, and suddenly began to develop explosively, even he was caught off guard.
At the same time, he found that his compatriots, the other eleven gods, were about to collapse even in their deep sleep.
A very special idea quickly took shape in his mind. But after careful consideration, he gave up that special idea and adopted another ritual to awaken and extend the lives of the eleven gods in a more simple way.
That ritual was the ritual that Dak and others had just experienced.
Everything started from here.
As for the fact that Hermes found that he also needed to extend his life, it was after that.
Of course, he couldn't tell Principal Arte about his other ideas.
When Principal Arte relayed the explanation, of course, he didn't say anything.
But different people have different opinions. Smart people see through but don't say it.
The development of the matter is almost here.
As for how Principal Arte met Hermes after entering the [Heavenly Court] and how she played against Hermes, she certainly couldn't tell it at this time.
But in the end, she still revealed a bet she made with Hermes.
After all, it is something closely related to everyone present.
To put it simply, Principal Arte believed that Hermes' ritual plan would not succeed, and Hermes himself was naturally on the side of success.
Principal Arte promised that once Hermes' ritual plan is successful, if she can create a godhead in the future, she will become Hermes' god.
But if Hermes' ritual plan fails, then Hermes must implement another plan - which is actually the special idea that Hermes originally came up with.
Since the existing ritual plan itself was transformed on the basis of that plan.
Therefore, when this ritual plan fails, Hermes can completely adjust it back.
The core reason why Hermes agreed to this bet was actually because the second plan was his guaranteed option from the beginning!
Hermes is the god of deceit, so it goes without saying that "deception" follows the trend.
Therefore, he was equivalent to using Principal Alte's bet in vain. And with this human being here, if his first plan fails, this human being can come forward to help him launch his second plan smoothly.
Everything is very complete.
Both parties are willing to do so.
Principal Arte was actually using that bet to ensure his own safety.
And now, Hermes' first plan failed, the bet between the two parties ended, Principal Arte won, and Hermes was "forced" to carry out the plan for many months before launching the second plan!
"So, what is his second plan?" Dak looked at Hermes and asked.
Principal Arte smiled slightly and said: "Hermes is the god of competition.
"Wait a minute." Dak said quickly, "God of competition?"
Hermes couldn't help but sneer.
Human beings in this era always portray him as a "treacherous and cunning traveling merchant", but he actually holds a lot of authority.
In the era when gods flourished, he has always been the patron god of various competitive games.
But what he didn't expect was that Dak's next words were: "Could those flames that slipped out of the underworld also be his handiwork?"
Hermes, who had been silent since his arrival, suddenly said his first words after arriving here: "No."
Dak glanced at him suspiciously, but did not pursue it further. [Guide to the Underworld] and [God of Competition].
These two divine power lineages of Hermes are 100% consistent with the sources and abilities of those [Fires of the Underworld].
Although Hermes said no from the beginning. But he didn’t believe it!
According to Principal Arte, Hermes has done a lot of "interesting" things over the years.
What are those "interesting" things? I'm afraid they are hard to say.
However, after knowing that Hermes had the authority of [Sports], Dark suddenly had a clearer understanding of the authority that the demon had used.
at the same time.
Since Principal Arte specifically mentioned the [God of Athletics], it means that Hermes' second plan is related to [Athletics].
But what is the plan related to [Competition] that makes Principal Arte so concerned about it?
Dak's eyes narrowed slightly and he couldn't help but become solemn. So does everyone else.
Although everyone gathered in one place for various reasons, everyone actually had their own ideas.
With the appearance of Principal Arte, several people from the Holy Church and the Elf Tribe guessed why Saint Marian College was so actively involved in this matter.
But now that I think about it carefully, if it weren't for such a reason, Dark Dimon wouldn't be here.
Once Dark Dimon is no longer here, many of them may lose their lives in this ritual.
Not to mention, to accomplish the purpose they originally came here to achieve.
And now it seems that the purpose of "introducing" or "inheriting" divine power was born out of Hermes' design from the beginning.
Although I am still unwilling to face this reality, it seems that this is the only way.
They were thinking wildly in their minds, and at this time they were completely unaware that they and others were witnessing the birth of a new era!
Principal Arte saw that Hermes just said a word and then shut up, so he continued: "Hermes' second plan is based on [competition]. He has witnessed magic technology. The whole process of development has also witnessed the entire process from the birth to the prosperity of Magical Duel. He is an avid fan of Magical Duel...well, it doesn't matter."
"Hermes's second plan also requires the use of rituals, and the completion of that plan is dozens or hundreds of times more difficult than the first plan, but for them, the twelve gods of Polopos, what they can obtain The harvest is also dozens or hundreds of times."
"He wants to rely on his own divine power as the core and use the consciousness of the twelve gods as a sacrifice to create a brand new Shinto that has never appeared in ancient times.
"Shinto?" Dak asked slightly confused.
Principal Arte explained: "The so-called Shinto can also be said to be the road to God. There are countless roads to God in this world, and each road to God corresponds to a different divine power genealogy. The so-called creation of Shinto is actually the creation of a divine power genealogy. Hermes wants to create Shinto with the other eleven gods and become the God of Magic!"
Dak listened very patiently, and only after listening did he finally understand Hermes' second plan.
He did not have any thoughts about Hermes himself because of this, and most of his attention was focused on the so-called [God of Magic] itself.
Magic technology is a brand new technology that has never existed in ancient and modern times. As of now, it is itself a road to God, and it definitely has the potential to become a god.
But from beginning to end, no one has walked through this so-called road to God.
Therefore, everything is just speculation.
If you want to rely on magic technology to forge a godhood, you can only create it yourself. But it is extremely difficult to forge a godhood with an existing path, not to mention creating a path by yourself and forging a brand new godhood.
Many professors at St. Marian College are actually on this path.
So when Professor Kazel, Professor Sylph and others learned that there was still this [Sixth Ladder], they were so ecstatic.
That is what they thought was the ladder to the path to godhood. But after calming down and thinking carefully.
You will find that even if the so-called [Sixth Ladder] is really refined, it is only the sixth-level magic guide elf that has a certain divine power.
What is the relationship between the magic guide elf's godhood and the magician's godhood?
And Hermes' second plan is to make the magic guide elf's godhood and the magician's godhood related.
And his ambition is very big.
He not only wants to create this new divine way, but also wants to introduce some other gods into this divine way.
This world has entered the period of [Resurrection of the Gods].
Therefore, any action that can revive the gods will be helped in the dark.
Hermes' plan is also based on this.
He wants to use rituals to build a new set of rules between this world.
Thanks to the pioneering nature of magic technology, this set of rules will not conflict with other rules, avoiding a lot of trouble.
This is a brand new set of duel rules!
When he heard this, Dak's expression was wooden.
This formed a strong contrast with the dumbfounded looks of the other people around him.
Hermes' plan, after all, is to build a set of rules that can achieve the effect of [Fire of the Underworld] without using [Fire of the Underworld]. This made Dak have to wonder if the existence of [Fire of the Underworld] is his experiment?
Was Didi Maxwell affected by his will when he opened the door to the underworld?
Of course, no matter which reason it is, it doesn't matter.
What really needs to be paid attention to is [Fire of the Underworld]. If every duelist can start the so-called "dark duel" without using [Fire of the Underworld], wouldn't the world be in chaos immediately?
Of course, he believes in Principal Arte and believes that she will not promote such a thing without careful consideration.
Since this matter is too serious to be explained in just a few words, Principal Arte suggested that they just sit down and discuss it carefully before making a decision.
Professor Sarah Sylph, High Priest Bellamy Artemis and Bishop Sabrina Melville happened to be in the [Heavenly Court], so they were summoned to discuss it together.
Hermes himself had no objection to this - he could not show any "urgent" intention in front of this group of humans.
The whole ceremony was actually only one step away.
