An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 289 Faith in Godhood

"Living sacrifice?"

"Yes, living sacrifices. Although this is not necessary, living sacrifices in sufficient quantity and high quality can speed up the process of the ceremony, so I recommend that you prepare some."

"If I don't prepare a living sacrifice, how long does the ceremony normally take to complete?"

"Let's give a conservative estimate of three months. After all, it is not that easy to completely transform one species into another. The actual process will only be more difficult than I said, because there are many details that need to be perfected in the process of the ceremony. If one step Mistakes may lead to extraordinary consequences, so generally speaking, three months is the safest time.”

"...So, this living sacrifice must be prepared?"

"So far it seems like this, Master. After all, you and I both know that we don't have much time to waste, but as long as there are sufficient sacrifices of sufficient quality, I am confident that I can speed up your evolution ceremony to within 12 hours. Finish."

"Reduced from three months to 12 hours? Although I am in a hurry, is this too fast? Didn't you say that there will be a lot of details that need to be perfected in this process? Only 12 hours can What kind of details should be perfected?”

"My master, what I said before is that it normally takes three months, but your evolution ritual doesn't actually need to be that normal."

"Why? Is there anything special about me that prevents me from acting according to common sense?"

"It's not that you are special, my master. I have said before that the legendary individual promotion rituals of each race are different, and the tiefling rituals are more...evil."

"The legendary promotion rituals of other races do not require the use of living sacrifices. This is the exclusive privilege of tieflings. After all, no matter what, you have our bloodline in your body, and this bloodline allows you to use Some of the devil's common tactics to speed up your goals."

Jagger paused for a moment and looked at Nohir, who was frowning in front of him and seemed to be suspicious of his words. He couldn't help but speed up his explanation.

"Of course, my master, these are just one of the reasons. Normally, even if enough living sacrifices are prepared, the ceremony time can only be reduced from three months to one month at most, but the reason why I said There is only one reason why I can control the time within 12 hours, and that is because I have this ability.”

Then, without waiting for Nohir's reply, Gargas told Nohir straightforwardly about his origins and the power he possessed. It was this power that gave him the ability to shorten the duration of the ritual to such a short time. short.

"...In short, that's it. Although I am in a sealed state now, I can still elicit divine power when someone is holding it. This power can stabilize your body that has been reorganized by the alchemical liquid, so that you don't need to Worry about any negative mutations during the ritual while allowing you to evolve in a positive direction.”

Nohir nodded with some understanding when he heard this, and then asked with some doubts.

"You said you have divinity? Why can this kind of thing do this? Can you still induce it? Then why can't you rely on this power to break your seal? What is the role of so-called divinity? "

"Haha, you are very curious and meaningless. This kind of power is not accessible to mortals like you. Even I paid a very painful price to obtain it. Even if you know its essence, You will not be able to obtain even a shred of this power in the rest of your life, but since it is your question, then of course I will satisfy your thirst for knowledge, my master."

"Actually, all your questions need only one answer, and that is the nature of the power of divinity."

"Simple divinity actually has no substantial power. At least for me, who currently has no body, divinity is just an extraordinary symbol. This power can only be experienced by those with a physical body, and it It actually works like I said before.”

"Divinity can allow a creature to evolve in a positive direction. Having this power means that the creature possesses some of the characteristics of a god, that is, it becomes a so-called divine creature, and is also called a demigod by the world."

"Demigod?"

"Yes, demigods. Creatures with divinity can be called demigods, because their bodies have become like gods and possess the characteristics of gods. This also means that they have the possibility of becoming gods. ”

Speaking of this, Gargas suddenly chuckled.

"Haha, since I have said this, let me tell you a bigger secret. Do you know how a mortal can become a god?"

Nohill's eyes suddenly froze. To be honest, he really didn't know about this question. He only knew the professional levels from 1 to 20 that the panel told him. In his common sense, level 20 was already the level that a mortal could achieve. The limit reached.

The reason why Nohir tried every means to plan the power of Gargoth before was because he expected divinity to help him break through the limit of level 20, and now it seems that his guess is indeed correct.

"Let me guess, divinity is required?"

"Oh, indeed, if you want to become a god, divinity is the first stepping stone. Only divine creatures are qualified to pursue the path of becoming a god. But even so, it is impossible to become a god just by having divinity. "

"In addition to divinity, those who pursue godhood also need divine power and priesthood. Divine power, as the name suggests, is the power of gods. This power is all-encompassing and omnipotent, but only divine creatures and gods can sense this power and collect and refine it into divine power."

"And priesthood is the position held by gods. If a mortal is lucky enough, he may still be able to obtain this precious power. But as for priesthood, as far as I know, all the priesthoods in the world have been occupied by the gods in the Pantheon. If there is no priesthood, then the three elements of becoming a god cannot be gathered."

"Only when divine power, divinity, and priesthood are integrated can the godhood be born. Only those who possess the godhood can be honored as gods and have their own place in the Pantheon. Unfortunately, the turbulent years have passed. Now, let alone mortals, even a genuine demigod with divinity like me cannot seek the real power of gods."
