Chapter 168: A Bumpy Path

When Eagle asked Calvin about this, Levi gave him a puzzled look, but did not interrupt him at the first time.

Become a god!

In Corell, it's undoubtedly a word full of magic.

Even in the popular texts of the main material world, there is a yearning for gods in mortal beings.

There are also many professionals who have stepped into the legend, hoping that one day they can bathe in the mountains, light the divine fire, lift the divine throne to the sky, and become the brightest and shining star in the night sky.

Because only by becoming a god can we achieve immunity to natural death.

But anyone who has even the slightest knowledge of the roots of the gods will get a shocking answer.

That is the so-called belief in the gods from mortal beings, one, one, all, no, there is!

Yes, not a single one!

In fact, except for the first group of ancient gods who were born naturally from the world of Corell, most of the gods who appeared later were foreign, and they embedded themselves in the underlying laws of Corell.

Among them, the most famous is the representative of the elven god system, Corellon.

This guy is a typical family who immigrated from a world that was about to be destroyed, and he lived a very harmonious life, and he didn't mean to be an outsider at all.

Therefore, the priesthood in the entire world of Corell has a name and a surname, and it is basically such a radish and a pit, which is fully occupied.

Otherwise, with the power of Karthas, he would not have tried to seize the priesthood of the goddess of magic.

So why do some people know that there is no way ahead, but they still go forward?

And why do the gods turn a blind eye to these challengers?

Levi found the answer in the knowledge of the dragon's inheritance.

Some dragons with great age and strength, as well as some dragon priests, paladins and dark guards, will choose to advance to the dragon when they have enough power.

Most of the dragons are arrogant and generally cold, and they see the path of the gods as a race and do not choose to share the same path with others.

Once they break through the limits of mortal beings, then they will also become a god, a quasi-god with 0 godhead and no priesthood.

Therefore, the path of other creatures to godhood is mostly modeled after the path of the god-sealing dragon.

And once they succeed, they will be accepted by the gods of that god line, and they will become the gods, the most perfect servants!

What an irony.

After a lifetime of struggle, the result was only to be a cow and a horse for the gods who had tried in vain to replace him.

What's even more ironic is that once the dragon ascends to the god and becomes a god-like dragon, then his age will also stagnate.

They chose to escape death, but they were cut off from their most important source of power.

That's why none of the Grand Arcanists of Netherel chose to become gods.

The abundance of knowledge broadens their knowledge and enriches their personality and dignity, so that they can no longer bow their knees to the gods.

And in Edmund's Meditation and Prayer Method, the deities are also divided into three main categories.

Namely: primordial gods. That is, it is similar to the original goddess of magic, the goddess of the earth, Fontia, and the alien god Corellon.

Second, he became a god by being divided. But perhaps it is the gods who maintain their own mystery, and this kind of god is generally more secretive, and the gods who are divided do not take the initiative to reveal their identity.

The last type is something like the dragon of the gods, who become gods through self-growth, but in fact, they will eventually find out that this is nothing more than this 'deception'.

Either accept 'Zhao'an' and become a servant of the god lineage, or give up the immortality that you have fought for all your life and welcome death.

The vast majority, however, tend to lower their once haughty heads and allow the gods to crown them in the clouds.

But it has to be said that Calvin's example is too special.

He was given the primitive cult of a newly civilized low-intelligence race.

And no one has ever tried this method to become a god before.

Because most creatures, after a long period of domestication, are unable to perform spontaneous worship and prayer for a particular being like the Carvins rat.

Therefore, even if he does not compete with other gods for those existing priesthoods, he can choose the god of the Cavins rat and become his own priesthood.

So Levi could understand Iggy's enthusiasm for the unknown as a researcher, and wondered how Calvin would respond.

However, to everyone's surprise, Calvin's eyes only widened slightly when he heard this, and his breathing was a little shorter, and then he asked with a wry smile:

"In that case, what will it cost me?"

Seeing that Calvin was still able to remain so calm in the face of such a temptation as becoming a god, Eagle couldn't help but nod with admiration and satisfaction:

"Very good, no wonder you can still stay awake under the faith of hundreds of thousands of Cavins rats day and night, it seems that you yourself do not have a strong desire to become a god. ”

Calvin lowered his eyes and smiled: "Yes, if it were twenty-one years ago, I would not have hesitated to agree before entering the dark region, because I didn't know anything about power at that time.

"If it had been 11 years ago, before I met my boss, I would have bowed down to this opportunity, because I was cut off and there was no way back.

"If it had been eight years ago, before I had been exposed to the arcane, I would probably still be in a frenzy, because when I tasted the surge of power, I would have become more and more worshipful of power.

"But now, Brad's Arcane Codex has really benefited me a lot, and made me understand that even gods are just a group of powerful beings parasitic on the rules of the world.

"I am still in awe of their power, and I am sincerely grateful to the gods like the original Goddess of Magic, who remained faithful to their duty and silently guarded Corer.

"But the knowledge of the arcane also made me understand that when I become a god, I must pay a due price, and this price is probably not something that I can afford as a small person. ”

Hearing these words, which were not very deafening but heartfelt, made Fischer and Tiger, who had become envious and fanatical and even a little jealous when they heard the word "god", realize their own situation, and they were infected by Calvin and calmed down.

"Yes, I would say that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a god did appear in front of you, but according to my analysis, once you do choose this path, it is likely that you will embark on an inhuman path, and it will be extremely dangerous. Igerdo.

"What do you mean?" asked Levi for Calvin, who was silent.

Eagle saluted Levi and said, "Boss, I don't know if you have noticed that all the gods that are believed in by these low-intelligence races are what kind of gods?"

"Abyssal Evil God?" Levi muttered with a frown.

"Yes, the evil gods of the abyss. ”

Iggy affirmed this answer, and continued: "The gods are actually a very special group of beings, and their teachings deeply affect every believer, and the beliefs of the believers will have a reverse effect on the gods.

It is for this reason that the doctrines drawn up by the gods are, in a sense, not just spreading trade and practicing their own priesthood, but screening their own followers, and too many and mixed beliefs will pollute their priesthood and camp.

Of course, if a believer can be truly edified and sincerely converted to their camp and teachings, they will be happy to accept it.

Levi was stunned. It is no wonder that most of the believers in the righteous gods are dragons, elves, humans, dwarves and the like with advanced civilization and wisdom.

Then Eagle looked at Calvin and made a rare joke: "If the prayers you receive every day are all vague and even contradictory nonsense, then you will go crazy sooner or later." You'll have to be glad you don't understand the Cavins rat. ”

When Calvin heard this, he was already in a cold sweat.

Then Iggy then stared into Calvin's eyes and said:

"But if you do use this to ascend to God one day, it will be different. When you ascend to the Divine Throne and ascend to the astral plane, fantasy and reality will become one.

"At that time, you will be transformed into a low-minded and chaotic Cavins rat and become a rat god under the prayers of thousands of Cavins rat devotees.

"And the camp you are in will also be impossible to judge, unlike the gods who already exist, they can decide the camp of the believers for themselves, and you can only passively be decided by the believers.

"And, most likely, for this reason, you will not be welcomed by the gods of the astral plane, and you will be hated by the gods of the abyss because of your new priesthood!

"You will struggle to survive in the gap between the two!

"Calvin, since you have no intention of becoming such a god, listen to my advice!

"Otherwise, as the Cavins rat colony grows, you will be affected even more, and at that time, I'm afraid, it's not just a matter of growing a few horns

"Better let the Cavins rats set up a new god of their own!

"And the later, the better. ”
