Chapter 1,369 The Road to Become a God

The elders behind the Three Holy Lights Church’s experience of becoming gods is one of the few remaining deeds from that era. There is inevitably some embellishment in what the church promotes. But behind the experiences of three powerful gods becoming gods, there are a few things that are true.

First, the difficult retreat.

Secondly, Apollos did 'die' once, but he was also the first to take that step since the Demon King massacred the old gods.

Thirdly, the three of them are not only the vanguard generals of the army, but also the commanders of the entire army. Ke Yin is in charge of logistics, which is inconspicuous but also very important.

The kind of general who squatted behind and told others to rush forward did not exist in that era. If you don't have the ability to defeat thousands or ten thousand enemies, don't expect any soldiers to follow you. Everyone is risking their lives, there is no reason to follow a scumbag and die in vain. In the army, classes are entirely determined by strength and weakness, and the most basic requirement is that the commander must be both civil and military.

Furthermore, when it comes to whether one’s bloodline is noble or not, in the era when the Dark Legion came, everyone was a low-income person, and no one’s bloodline was truly noble. The nobles of the old era were either dead or joining the Dark Legion. Therefore, without real ability, it is impossible to steal a high position.

All in all, those three are the irreplaceable core of the army. It is both the source of morale and the belief of all soldiers. Therefore, at the most difficult moment, they used the brilliance of their own humanity to unite the entire army and even the faith of all the Homo sapiens races in the land. They broke out in one fell swoop and crossed a step that no one had ever experienced before.

The old gods are all born gods. They have no father or mother, they are born and raised, and there is no need for troublesome things like igniting divine fires and forging divine beings.

Everyone who became gods after that actually had similar experiences. No one is borrowing the help of unknown people to cross that boundary in some unknown corner.

They are all heroes who have experienced hundreds of battles. Regardless of whether they act for good or for evil, they all know that they can fight, and they have high hopes from the people around them. Even if he is a despicable person in terms of moral character and behavior, as long as he can lead people to resist the dark army, there will be people who will follow him. It was an era where survival and continuation were all that existed.

Therefore, the battlefield is the most common place for conferring gods. The victory celebrations celebrated by all the people came second. The canonization ceremony after the establishment of the kingdom is the second place that unites people's longing for the future.

Only the path of the Eight Lords of Power is somewhat unusual. They are the most powerful and the masters of a country. One day, he felt something in his heart, and without hesitation, he gave up the country he had worked so hard to build to another suitable successor. After handing over the crown, he turned his head and took that step. Therefore, the styles of these eight gods are different from those of other gods, and their intensity is also completely different.

In fact, after such a calculation, we can know that the birth of the new god of Midi has its time and space background.

In the darkest era of despair, everyone is trying to survive without giving up any light. Facing an unparalleled enemy, heroes of all races who can fight against it carry all hope. Therefore, those heroes who led the people out of the dark ages became gods above men.

Without that kind of time and space background, no one would take that step and truly sublimate into another level of life form - a god.

"So, you told me so much, you just want to say: You have no hope, go home and have your grandson. Really?" Barbarian King Alonso summarized the content of someone's statement.

Seeing that ugly face with firm lines slump, before turning in the direction of rage, Lin said: "Of course that's not the case, old man. There is a saying in my hometown that times make heroes, but heroes also make times. .…”

"Haha." The Barbarian King laughed angrily and interrupted someone. He said with a sarcastic expression: "Do you think I haven't thought about what you said? The golden age of the gods was because of the actions of the Dark Legion. The biggest target, so we have created waves of heroes. If it had been two hundred years earlier, there would have been religious wars to play, but at that time, gods from all walks of life were in the game. On the surface, they could not end up, but one Barbarians, even extraordinary ones, are just thugs. How can we play in this peaceful era now? How about causing chaos in the world? Then I might as well go directly into the abyss, grab a piece of territory from those demons, and fight to be the king of the abyss. It’s more practical to come to Dangdang.”

At the end, looking at the embarrassed expression on a certain magician, Alonso said again: "I endured listening to your long speech, just because I wanted to hear if you had anything new to say. Maybe I haven't heard it or didn't think about it." I've passed. It just makes me a little disappointed. You're not as good as that little kid from Keno said."

this……! Do you dare to say that this old man has an affair with Her Majesty the Empress?

It cannot be said! Unthinkable! Not to be explored! Anyway, it won't do you any good to figure this out. Instead, he had to comfort the elder in front of him, otherwise with his small body, he really wouldn't be able to withstand the other party's torment again. Lin said: "Old man, don't get excited. In different times, as long as we grasp the core concepts, we may not be able to achieve something."

"Oh, so in your eyes, what is the core concept?" King Barbarian asked with a cold tone, neither salty nor indifferent.

"The old man should know the conditions for a magician to be canonized as a magician. Let enough branches of the Magician Association recognize him as a great magician. It may take xxxx (40), or xxxxv (45), then the world will treat him The title will be the honorific title of 'Dharma Saint'. To be recognized as a great magician, in addition to having actual achievements in the local area and being strong enough, the most important thing is to go to a new place and accept recognition. ——”

Speaking of this, someone couldn't help but complain,

"——This is also because magician associations in various places rarely decide to award the title of great magician based on hearing about someone. They always have to meet the person in person before making a decision. However, from a certain perspective, it can also be interpreted as, Branches in various regions are all putting on airs, and they will only nod pretentiously when people come to ask for help.”

"So? What does this have to do with me? You don't want me to do magic, please magicians."

Judging from the barbarian king's contempt for magic, if he had to say a few more words to defend himself, someone would probably hear something like: 'You know how many magicians I have killed in my life' from Alonso's mouth. However, what needs to be explained must be explained clearly.

"Old man, of course I can't ask you to play magic. What I want to say is that your ability to make a bunch of people go away with just one sentence makes me believe that you are famous in the empire. But to be honest, I am a Outsiders. Not to mention that I came from the southwest peninsula, a barbaric area in the eyes of others. The main place of activity in these years is also in the Gwana Empire. In these places, I don’t know a person named Barbarian King Alonso. Post-Dark Age Those heroes, even if they are not in their main scope of activities, can be called important figures of hope in other places. In comparison, your reputation is far inferior."

Finally the key points were highlighted, which made the Barbarian King think deeply. He was aware of his own situation. Although there were legends about him throughout the Karlsruhe Empire, the actual scope of his activities was only in the southwestern half of the empire. On the northeast side, where the war situation is the most complicated, the Plains of Oz has never been visited. Not to mention areas outside the empire.

"If you want to take that step, is fame indispensable?" The confused King asked this question.

Lin explained with his own understanding: "What is the gap between gods and mortals? Everyone knows that gods need faith. When faith dwindles or even disappears, this god will also be forgotten. This also means With the death of a god.—"

How did Fin destroy the faith in the Old Gods? In addition to killing gods again and again, what is more important is to rule the entire world and kill all those who are loyal to the old gods. Only those who change can survive.

In her original plan, she even did not hesitate to kill all the living people in the land and transform them all into undead. The undead souls born under her, a lich, will not believe in gods other than her. Then all the living people died, and without any source of faith, the gods were naturally eliminated.

However, some living people later took refuge in her and offered plans to rule the Lost Lands with violence and terror, which could effectively suppress the belief in the old gods. For Fen, the worst case scenario is to kill everyone anyway; then there is nothing wrong with leaving some people behind as long as they are willing to give up their belief in the old gods and save some energy.

This was the dark age when the demon king Tikal reigned in the land for more than two hundred years. It is reasonable for other members of the Dark Legion to use this excuse to mess around. Violent rule will not bring about a better world, it will only become an opportunity for those who use violence to fulfill their selfish desires.

"--Then those heroes who finally embarked on the road to becoming gods in the post-dark age, can we treat them this way? The armies directly commanded by these heroes are like fanatics of gods. And the fact that they fought against the remnants of the Dark Legion , bringing them the reputation of the whole land, these are like the beliefs of mortals. So in this peaceful era, as long as we try to create a similar environment, maybe that hazy threshold will be in front of you, old man Reveal a trace of the truth. And if you really want to go down this road, you actually still have a big problem with me, old man."

"Problem?" Alonso thought for a moment and realized what the problem he might have was. "You mean the mark that belongs to me."

"Symbols, concepts, you can call them whatever you want. The Lord of Guardian is named 'Guardian', and the Lord of Justice pursues 'Justice'. Even some third-rate minor gods, they have their own priesthood and concepts to let people know When you have certain needs, which god should you pray for for protection, but old man, you don’t have these impressive marks on your body.”

"God of barbarians. Do you think this path is feasible?" Alonso asked directly.

Lin simply shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. Said: "This kind of thing cannot be achieved by just talking about it here. And what you want to become, you must first believe it yourself and practice it, and then you can let others believe it. If there are enough people who believe, everything will fall into place." .”
