Chapter 171 God
What is God?
Possessing unimaginable extraordinary power.
Lifespan is almost eternal.
This is how most people understand God.
It is also the widespread understanding of God by mortal beings.
Of course, there are also some mortal beings who believe that gods are omnipotent, that they can live and die, that flesh and bones know everything, and that they can reverse time and space.
Is there such a god?
Maybe, but obviously belief in God is not at this level.
Belief in God is a god similar to the former.
It is an extremely powerful individual.
Their birth is the understanding, belief, generalization and recognition of these gods by mortal beings.
This is how Rand described it in the knowledge he gained from the goddess Athens.
Every moment, when people are sad, desperate, excited, sad, or even bored, they are likely to fantasize about a god they think they are.
And when this kind of behavior reaches a certain scale, it will give birth to such a god through the will of the world.
The rules of each world are different, and the results of birth are also different.
In some extremely powerful supernatural world.
Most gods are born with wisdom, great power, and their own code of conduct.
Their strength, wisdom, and code of conduct all come from the mortal beings that hatched them and defined them through cognitive illusions.
Such as the world of Io.
Bane, the tyrant god.
His domain is also definition.
Be evil, destroy, hate, order, tyrant.
Among them evil, destruction, hatred, and order are the nature.
The tyrant is His code of conduct.
Bane, the tyrant god, must act according to his nature and code of conduct.
Another example is the Earth Mother Goddess Chantiya.
His realms are animals, the earth element, goodness, vegetation, protection, and revival.
Kindness is character.
Like animals, earth elements, and plants.
Hobbies are protection and revival.
This is the definition of this God by mortal things.
These definitions gave birth to the original Earth Mother Goddess and the Tyrant God.
They strictly carry out their duties in their own fields.
The realm is God’s bondage and the source of God’s power.
The Earth Mother has the power to control the earth elements, plants and animals, or to incarnate them.
Divine power is an extremely high-level energy source.
He doesn't just make the superhuman more powerful.
It can cover the body surface, making almost all damage ineffective against itself.
You can also make every move you make possess the power to destroy the world.
As long as you have the soul of dead life, the living dead, flesh and bones, it is not difficult for you to believe in divine power.
When gods die, their power, their godhead, remains.
Maybe they will fall into the hands of the being who killed them.
It may also fall into the hands of other creatures.
Killing the gods, seizing the godhead, and becoming a new god is what most creatures in the world of Io believe is the most feasible way to become a god.
This approach is possible.
But the replacement will also be affected by the realm of God, and in a sense become another person who was killed.
Of course, you can also reject the domain's influence.
But if you do that, you will refuse to become such a god, which is inconsistent with the cognitive definition, and you will not be able to obtain divine power from the godhead.
The goddess Athens gave Rand a lot of knowledge.
Not only are there ways to become gods, but there are also introductions and how they, beings who originally only had the name of gods but no belief in the power of gods, became gods.
This is also the correct way to become a god.
Such as the world where the goddess Athens lives.
These gods, from the beginning, were just powerful beings who claimed to be gods and had the name of gods.
They are essentially not much different from real dragons like Rand and the Titans of the Io world.
They all possess extremely powerful physical strength and energy from birth.
The fighting method is also extremely primitive, punching to the flesh, using the energy in the body to attach to the body to make oneself more powerful.
So how did they become gods?
The reason has been mentioned before.
There is a god in every world.
The gods of some worlds, such as the world of Io, have already been born.
This kind of world where gods can be born naturally, according to the knowledge given by the goddess, combined with the plane knowledge Rand obtained from the succubus lord, is extremely rare.
Most of the gods in the world cannot be born due to various reasons, and their godhood is hidden in the will of the world.
Therefore, the general problem for powerful people is how to obtain godhood from the will of the world.
According to Athenian memory, this required a spell.
One invented by Gaya the Great, the Blue Diamond Dragon.
A spell called [Ascension to God]!
This spell only has about ten levels.
After using this spell, the caster can enter the root where the godhead is stored.
As long as you pass the test of the world's will, you can obtain the godhead and become an acquired god of faith.
Rand through the memory of the goddess Athens.
I also saw how the other party became the goddess of war wisdom.
And what exactly is the root of His memory.
In Rand's opinion.
The so-called root is somewhat like a huge database.
After activating the [Ascension to God Technique], the database will open the door to becoming a god for you.
There is a series of data codes of godhead for the caster to choose.
Because of Gaya's reminder, powerful people like the goddess Athens knew the risks of becoming a god, so they chose a godhead that best suited their own cognition and personality and became a god.
The goddess Athens was originally just the god of wisdom.
The priesthood of war is also a part of the godhead that was assigned to him by chance when the first-generation god of war died during the battle with God Titan.
More specifically, the goddess Athens did not give this part of her memory to Rand.
The test given to the goddess Gaya by the will of the world, in Rand's view, is simple, but not simple.
It's simple because you only need to make an oath.
An oath to protect the world from destruction, to bring wisdom to all living beings, and to destroy a Titan.
It is not simple because this oath is made to the will of the world.
The moment the oath is completed.
The goddess Athens must firmly abide by and carry out her oath.
He did the same thing over the years.
The development of the entire world is inseparable from Him.
It is He who teaches all sentient beings letters, etiquette, morality, integrity, honor, etc.
Let the barbaric era enter the civilized era.
Of course, the test of becoming a god is not the same.
As far as Athens knows.
The God of Hades among the twelve main gods, at the moment he became a god, he could only stay in the underworld forever, maintaining the order of the six reincarnations.
But in the last few thousand years.
This god of Hades actually transformed part of reality into the underworld and came to this world.
[Ascension Technique] This spell.
There are also memories and legends about it in Rand's Dragon Legacy, but the user and developer are not the blue diamond dragon.
But a certain spell caster.
The spell caster used this spell and even deprived the goddess of magic of her divine status and replaced her, although it was only for an instant, and then died...
But that spell seems to be widely defined as a twelve-ring spell.
And after using it once, it was permanently banned by the goddess of magic.
In the past, Rand only regarded it as a legend.
Now got the memory of Goddess Gaya.
Rand understood a lot of things.
For example, why are they both [Ascension Techniques], one has ten rings, and the other has twelve rings.
The answer is also very simple.
Because the gods in the Io world are already full.
There is no excess godhead in the root.
The goal of [Ascending God Technique] is not to have an ownerless godhead, but to seize the godhead of other gods... The difficulty and cost of casting this spell are naturally different.
To become a god, you must protect the will of the world.
Even gods like the Io plane have already opened up the alien plane and even gained more power of faith from the alien plane.
They cannot deviate from their own divine realm and their duty to protect the will of the world.
In Rand's view, becoming a god has advantages and disadvantages.
But overall, the pros outweigh the cons.
Putting the opportunity to become a god in front of most creatures, Rand believed that 99% of the creatures would choose to become a god.
Only a very small number of creatures who are extremely powerful and unwilling to accept restraints will refuse the temptation to become gods.
For example, those hate dragons, and the time dragons from Legendary Dragons?
Bahamut and Tiamat, two dragons that are extremely powerful in their own right, can be regarded as old hapless ones in Rand's opinion.
It is obviously very powerful, not inferior to those hate dragons and time dragons.
But it is faith that gave birth to God.
Whether the level of the godhead is strong depends on whether there are many initial believers and whether the will of the world is strong.
And the two-headed dragon gods.
It is a god formed by the belief in dragons, and the dragon race is extremely small in number.
This directly makes the two dragon gods’ divine levels extremely low...
Judging from the memory of the goddess Athens, it is not that there is no way to improve the level of the godhead.
As long as you kill gods with similar domains and devour the godhead, you can strengthen it.
But the two Dragon Gods didn't seem very interested in this.
Rand held a wait-and-see attitude towards becoming a god. At the same time, after gaining this knowledge, he felt that he might be able to do some interesting experiments...
Of course, the most important thing is that if you train some of your subordinates to become gods, then you will definitely make a profit.
Rand slowly opened his dragon eyes.
The goddess Athens on the side saw this and said softly:
"The deal is done.
Rand Safis Oakbourne.
I believe it won’t be long before you can become a god.
Hope we will always be friends in the future. "
"Of course, we will always be friends." Rand nodded slightly.
A dragon and a statue communicate with each other as if no one else is watching.
The little female dragon and the succubus lord on the side were very anxious when they heard this.
What are these two guys talking about? How to become a god? Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?
The little female dragon listened and couldn't help but said:
"Rand! And that, what kind of goddess from another world? Hey, hey, hey! Are you sure you're not joking?
Become a god? Is Rand going to become a god? How do you become a god? "
The Succubus Lord was also staring at Rand with burning eyes.
Rand only glanced at the little dragoness's question, and then said:
"You want to become a god?"
"I think! Of course I think about it! I think about it too much! Then I will be super strong! That old guy Tiamat dared to steal my treasure before, but I swore! I must show him some color!
And Ed and the others would definitely be jealous to death if they knew I had become a god! Hey Hey! Rand! Taught me! Please teach me how to become a god!
When I become a god, I will serve you well! If I give you a massage, Rand, it will definitely be more exciting! "
The little female dragon hugged Rand's forelimbs and rubbed her head wildly.
"When my experiment is over, if there are no problems, I will give you a chance to become a god."
Rand replied, suddenly feeling the burning gaze of the succubus lord beside him, and asked casually:
"You want it too?"
"I, can I?" The Succubus Lord's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.
"Of course not! This is a secret skill that I paid a huge price for!" Rand sneered and refused coldly.
"!"
The succubus lord's face froze instantly.
The look of expectation slowly turned into disappointment.
"Yeah, that's right. After all, it's a precious secret method."
"Be my vassal, and I will make you a god." Rand said again.
"What?" The Succubus Lord was slightly startled when he heard this, showing some hesitation.
"Accept the reality, you are just an ordinary succubus!
Obtaining the current power and status with your own strength is already the limit. If you continue to rely on yourself, you are just standing still.
This is your limit! This is the limit of the weak race of succubi!
Throughout their lives, many living beings are constantly making choices at the turning points of their life path. Only by making the right choice can they move up to the next level and become stronger.
So...choose, do you want to become my dependent and get the chance to become a god, or continue your ordinary life where you might one day be crushed to death by other gods like an ant? "
Rand said, there was not much emotion in his voice, he just asked casually.
"This..." The Succubus Lord hesitated even more.
She was a little unwilling to be inferior to others, especially this person, who was a former collaborator and was originally regarded as a guy on the same level as her.
"Hey! Sister Dorothy! Why do you have any hesitation about this? If it were me, I would definitely agree!
Apart from my brother Rand, where else in this world can such good things happen?
Isn’t it just to be a dependent? This is an opportunity to become a god! If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop.
Throughout the abyss, among the epic lords, I believe many are willing to accept Rand's conditions!
This is exactly the gift Rand gave you because you once sent a demon to feed him!
If you were an ordinary demon, do you think you would have such a chance? "
The little female dragon persuaded her in a serious manner, looking like you would be an idiot if you didn't accept it.
As the Succubus Lord listened, he felt that what the little dragoness said was reasonable, and finally nodded:
"Okay! I agree to become Rand's dependent! As long as I can become a god and gain stronger power, this is nothing at all!"
"Um."
Rand nodded lightly, not showing much joy.
"Hehehe! This way, I won't have to call you Sister Dorothy anymore!
Um! After all, your status is different, so I’ll just call you Dorothy from now on!
As for me, you can call me the Red Dragon Queen, Your Excellency Fiona, or Lady Fiona. "
The little female dragon hugged the succubus lord with her forelimbs and said with a smile.
The expression on the succubus lord's face instantly disappeared.
This female dragon is too realistic, right?
You called me Sister Dorothy before, but you just called me Dorothy. Now you just call me Dorothy?
Can I have some facial expressions?
"Don't worry about becoming a god. You two, go grab a cannon fodder demon and bring it over. I'll be of some use to you."
"Hey! Xiaoduo! I'll leave this matter to you."
The little dragoness glanced at the succubus lord.
Okay, now it's much smaller again.
The succubus lord said nothing and obediently used the teleportation array to leave. After a while, he tied up a five-meter-long two-headed dog demon with a long whip and returned.
When this demon first appeared, it was still barking angrily.
But the moment he saw Rand, he suddenly lost his temper and did not dare to say a word with his tail between his legs.
Rand separated a piece of flesh and blood and shattered the consciousness of the two-headed dog demon. After occupying the body, he re-engraved the teleportation circle and said to the goddess of Athens:
"Okay, now it's time to fulfill my next promise. Let's go back together and be careful to cooperate with me."
"You didn't even use your true form this time? You suddenly became cautious." The goddess of Athens said in surprise, and then got into the teleportation circle with Rand.
The little dragoness and the succubus lord wanted to follow, but were stopped by Rand's true form.
The world where the goddess Athens lives.
Outside Aries City.
The two-headed dog possessed by Rand appears again, as does the stone statue of the goddess Athens.
He lightly scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that the location was consistent with the world, he said to the goddess Athens on the side:
"The next step is up to you, help me contact other main gods, and remember not to think about going it alone and taking advantage.
If you do this, you will be the public enemy of all gods.
listen to me! You can't control it.
You wouldn't do that if you gave secret techniques to those main gods for free, right?
Why should something you paid a huge price for be given to other gods for free?
so! I still have to do all this! "
Rand spoke meaningfully on the side to remind the goddess beside him again.
"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you."
The goddess said the last thing.
Then he disappeared in a wormhole-like transmission channel.
Rand waited quietly.
After a while another stone statue appeared.
After a while, the wormhole appeared again.
One after another, statues of gods with different expressions appeared from it.
These statues look old and young, male and female.
"You are the main gods of this world, right?
What a pleasure to meet, I have talked with the goddess of war wisdom before.
Unexpectedly, you all came from the same plane as me, half disciples of Blue Diamond Long Gaya.
In this way, we can be considered friends! "
The two-headed dog possessed by Rand said with a gentle smile.
"Half a friend? A weak bastard like you is worthy of being our friend? You don't overestimate your own abilities!"
Among the twelve main gods, one looked extremely strong, holding a shield and a spear. As he spoke, his divine power surged towards Rand.
"Oris! What do you want to do?"
exclaimed the goddess Athens.
He also burst out with divine power, trying to stop the opponent.
Although these twelve main gods cannot come due to the relationship between the Mother Goddess of the Earth and the Father God of the Sky.
But through the idol, some power can still be exerted.
The two divine powers collided together.
There were roars in an instant.
Rand, who was only a few hundred meters away and possessed by the two-headed dog demon, was thrown away.
Thanks to [Hunter, Xuanxuan] for the 3242 coins and [True Love Blue] for the 200 coins.
Thanks to the bosses for the reward.
Ashamed, I can’t stand up at all
