Chapter 927: The Secret of the Gods
How strong are the gods? This is not easy to say, the span before and after is very large, strong and weak.
Those great divine powers in the legends, their kingdom is a world. But I wonder what kind of catastrophe happened before this era? Those great divine powers can no longer be seen or heard, and only appear in some absurd legends.
Whether they left or fell, no mortal knows.
There is not a single written record of the era before that. Probably only those gods who survived knew some secrets. But they are all taboo......
Judging by the existing gods. The strongest are those ancient gods with great divine powers.
For example, the goddess of the earth, such as the king of Hades, such as the goddess of fate who only hears her voice but does not see her......
Legend has it that a pair of sisters, the goddess of luck and the goddess of doom, were born in the priesthood of the goddess of fate. As for whether this great being who compiled destiny is still alive, no one knows. After all, the Old Gods weren't very interested in the main plane......
Although the main plane is the core of this universe, it is a crucial point, but it is not particularly favorable.
It's like the downtown area is prosperous, but the rich people who have villas in the suburbs don't particularly care. Except for their inheritance there (believers, churches......
And the nobility of the gods comes from the mysterious and unknown.
People are accustomed to offering fear and awe to things they don't understand. If it is true that all aspects are known to mortals, it will be extremely detrimental to the spread of faith.
So, it's hard for mere mortals to know anything about the gods, except in the stories of the various churches. But that is inevitably one-sided and distorted......
The descendation of the noble saint to the main plane is probably very irrational in the eyes of many gods.
It is very difficult for a god to be defeated and destroyed in the kingdom of his God. But if He devotes a portion of his power to the main plane, he may well face a loss of all his money.
Power is life to the gods. Losing a part of your strength is equivalent to losing a part of your life. This is unacceptable to any god!
And the god of nobility is nothing more than having no other choice, with the intention of "giving it a go, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle".
As mortals become stronger, they develop contempt for the gods.
And a god like the god of nobility, who has neither a particularly strong realm nor a long history, is very dangerous.
The aristocracy was not until the establishment of the Bright Star Empire, which gradually appeared and matured. The perfect title system, ceremonies, etiquette, etc., were all born at that time. The throne of the god of nobility also appeared at that time.
But what! With the collapse of the empire, the concept of nobility has actually weakened more and more as time goes by!
In the south, many places are official-oriented, or in the embryonic stage of capitalism......
In other words, it refers to those who are officials and those who are rich. They don't care much about titles. Some have honorary titles, and some don't even have a title at all!
On the coast and in places where trade is developed, the regime has developed a parliamentary system. Those noble titles have long since ceased to shine with the erosion of capital and power!
As long as you have the power or the money, who cares if you're a commoner, a businessman, or an adventurer?
Since the nobles are no longer popular, who still believes in the gods of the nobility? So the god of nobility has been in decline in most parts of the south!
Only the Northland still has the traditions of the original empire, and the power of the nobility is still very strong. Therefore, the Northland is the last place where the gods of nobility survive.
Ants are still stealing life. Even a person in a desperate situation is trying to save himself, let alone a god?
This magic tide may be his last chance. If he misses it, he will fall in a weakened way.
So He fought! The arrival of Goush was an attempt to elevate the powerful gods through mysterious means. The god of nobility is trying to regain the status of nobility and thus consolidate his authority.
……
The big dictionary uses magic to control a short whip and talks in front of the blackboard: "The power of the gods is powerful. However, in the main plane, there is only a limit to what can be played. The main plane is like a bottle with a very small mouth, and you have to shrink yourself to a small enough to get in. Any god descends to the main plane, and his energy level is about the same, because that is the limit of what the main plane can hold......"
The word energy level was invented by the big dictionary. As the name suggests, the level of energy.
The main plane has a strict limit on the upper limit of energy levels, and even the gods have to bow their heads under this low eaves.
The maximum level is the level of a high-level legend, and the Goush who probably came as a doppelganger is at this level.
It can be guessed that the god of nobility is definitely not as strong as the doppelganger Guush.
First of all, as a deity, He is more than ten times worse.
Furthermore, his strength is limited, and he does not have the ability to descend in a doppelganger, so he can only choose the Holy One to come.
If He comes in a doppelganger, then His kingdom will be an empty plan. He must have enough strength to guard the kingdom of God and prevent other gods from taking advantage of his lair.
The advent of the Sage is similar to possession, which is demanding and has limited strength.
There is a cost of energy transmission, and if you pass ten parts, to six parts, it is already very good!
Therefore, the energy level of the noble god is probably more than that of ordinary legends, but high-level legends are not satisfied.
That is, it is similar to those old immortal legends who prolong life in various ways.
Sounds like an easy takedown. But it must be said that energy level is ability, and strength is strength.
A cubic meter of iron and a cubic meter of cotton are not the same.
The reason why the gods are far above the legends is because they are of a higher level!
Otherwise, some gods with weak and weak divine powers, as early as the time of the Netherio Magic Empire, would have been captured by the Grand Arcanists for experiments.
After all, those Grand Arcanists can skillfully pry the levers of the world, and the power they show is no worse than that of the gods.
Power!
Divinity!
Priesthood!
These are the Three Jewels of the Gods!
Divine power is transformed from the power of faith, and it is a higher energy! How high? No power in the mortal world can match.
It's like striking iron in the same way, no matter how thick your arms are, you can't compare to a hydraulic forging machine. Of course, the gap between divine power and mortal strength is far greater than the gap between muscle strength and water forging level.
It's the same magic, the difference between using magic and using divine power, so big that you can't recognize that it's the same magic.
And then there's divinity! Divinity is the nature of God. Everything in the world has its own nature. For example, the properties of iron are: metallic, plastic, good thermal conductivity, hard......
And the nature of God is even more hanging!
Infinite strength, invulnerability, fire and water, poison, immortality, low-level magic immunity, elemental and mental resistance......
In short, only those heroes in the story who wield divine weapons can accomplish the great cause of killing divine creatures.
You could take a dung fork and stick a witcher who has lived for hundreds of years. But don't you want to hurt a single hair of any newborn Son of God!
And finally, the priesthood! What is the priesthood? It's a rule, it's a concept, it's a kind of embodiment!
Each deity is more or less aware of, and has mastered certain things or rules in the mortal world. In these respects, the gods have absolute power and dominance. Gods are generally zealous about their ministry and related matters, and they often have the greatest power when it comes to dealing with matters related to the priesthood!
The priesthood is the authority of the gods, but it is also their shackles.
When it is said to be authority, it is because the priesthood is the most powerful power of the gods. All concepts that emerge in the priesthood of a deity are His most powerful realms. No other individual can compare!
Of course, sometimes there will be the same priesthood in different gods.
For example, Tampas, the god of war of mankind, and Goush, the god of gray orcs, both have the priesthood of battle and war, so it's hard to say who is stronger!
But it doesn't matter which of the two of them is stronger. They are all stronger than mortals!
But although the priesthood is good, it also restricts the gods.
The new gods are compared to the old gods.
The ancient gods can only be achieved by those high-level spirits and spirits.
For example, there is a well spirit, and if he is strong enough, he is the god in charge of the well. He represents the concept of the well.
These ancient gods had no priesthood, and they shared the concept of representation.
And the ancient gods have innate requirements. It's like the request of some bigwigs in the gods, those who are not congenital and have the best bones, stay away from me!
No mortal thing can become an ancient god. So mortals have walked out of the path of the new gods!
New gods rely on faith, and as long as they meet the conditions (obtaining divinity, igniting divine fire, obtaining priesthood), they can become gods!
Later, some of the ancient gods abandoned their original path and chose to embark on this more "advanced" path.
Of course, there are downsides to SBC. For example, the old gods did not rely on believers and beliefs, but the new gods needed the power of faith.
At the same time, they are limited by believers and priesthood.
Eventually, they will gradually move closer to the priesthood.
A god of destruction may not have thought too much about it when he first became a god. But gradually, He will take pleasure in destruction. I want to destroy something day and night!
This is the main reason why the Great Arcanists especially looked down on the new gods back then.
It is said that he is a god, but isn't this just becoming a slave of this world? Became the embodiment of a concept? Even if you have the strength to do it, what can you do?
Freedom or death!
