Chapter 53: God-Given Divinity!
Mordo City.
It was a relatively busy and fulfilling day, and apart from the faint smell of salted fish floating over the city, there was nothing too much of a headache.
Everyone is well fed during this time!
The price of fresh fish in the tavern has dropped to one-third of its original value, and basically every household in Modo City has stocked up on some fresh fish, and the rest is urgently made into salted fish to dry. Sauron can still make this thing with a lot of effort, but a god shouldn't put his energy into it at all, so the way Modo City can deal with too many catches is to make salted dried fish. This is the easiest way to do it, and there is no need to worry about salt in the coastal areas.
Some of the low-level wizard apprentices in Modo City have already begun to study alchemy, and purifying table salt is only the most basic thing for alchemy.
However, at present, the difficulty of purification is still relatively high, and there is no problem in making snow-white table salt on a small scale.
On a large scale, it's still a slightly bitter sea salt.
The high-level core of Modo City does not have the energy and time to focus on such a trivial matter, and perhaps in the future, they will consider applying high-end alchemy to people's livelihood.
This was supposed to be the best time for slaves and hard laborers in the city of Modo.
You can eat enough after work every day, not only do you have fish to eat, but you can also find all kinds of fresh seafood from the cauldron.
During this period, people did not like to eat this thing, and many of them were eaten as junk food for slaves.
And so the days went by.
Pinching his fingers, he was getting closer and closer to the second wave of the impact of the Abyss Demon that Sauron had secretly explained, and on this day, something big and small happened in Modo City.
The time was around noon.
Suddenly, a strange light appeared in the sky, and then the light streaked across the sky like a meteor, falling directly to the row of buildings on the left side of the city.
"Huh!?"
In the Half-Elf Grand Temple in the center of Modo City, the figure of the chief priest appeared out of thin air. She looked up at the sky rather confused and muttered, "Divinity from the sky!?" β
The pale golden glow is not very conspicuous during the day.
The light fell directly into a tall building, and then all the light disappeared, as if everything was an illusion.
Teleportation spells.
The chief priest in a snow-white robe instantly teleported to the location where the divine light landed, and then she glanced at the Jian clan in front of her and muttered, "Saruman?!" β
The location where the Divine Radiance fell was the second largest laboratory in Modo City.
This is a forbidden area for ordinary people, because there are many dangerous plants planted here, and the divine light falls on the sky above Saruman's laboratory, and with the strength of the chief priest, he can clearly see the pale golden light inside through the magic aura.
The brilliance of divinity!
At the same time, a spiritual light also rose from the central mansion of Modo City. Later, Golia's figure also appeared next to the chief priest.
"What's going on?"
Golia's expression seemed to be a little puzzled, the defensive circle of Modo City had always been presided over by her, so the energy fluctuation just now could not escape her eyes.
The chief priest's expression was quite solemn, and he said slowly, "Saruman seems to have gained some great opportunity!" β
Gloria was stunned when she heard this, and then she sensed the changes in the laboratory.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Alchemical Laboratory.
Saruman's expression was dull at the moment, and everything that had just happened was completely instantaneous.
Even he hadn't figured out what was going on until now, he only felt a trace of golden light fall on his body, and then his whole person's thoughts changed amazingly. It's as if his brain has suddenly opened up, and many things that he didn't understand before can now be sorted out clearly, and somehow he actually has an extra spell.
God-given spells!
It's not a sophistication, but it wasn't invented by Saruman. Rather, it is a spell given to him by the Divine or the power of the Laws.
"This!? β¦β¦β
Saruman looked at his hands in amazement, and then his gaze fell on the test bench in front of him, the result of his recent research.
A simpler and more efficient fertilizer.
Because of the purification of alchemy, it seems to have a hint of pale gold. These small particles are the crystallization of Saruman's third experiment, and the yield and effect are much higher than the original simple processed fertilizer.
Of course.
These alchemical fertilizers are not meant to serve the crops, as an aspiring wizard. How could Saruman be willing to be a farmer, he purified this fertilizer solely for the purpose of further cultivating mutant plants.
To put it simply, this is a fertilizer with a hint of magic made to improve one's combat effectiveness.
But!
Something unexpected happened, just when this alchemy result was completed, he was directly fed back a spell by the world, and at the same time, he faintly found that he had an extra trace of divine power.
Incredible!
Although Saruman's strength has improved rapidly after research, divinity is still a thing that is desired and unattainable.
There was a hint of anticipation in my heart.
Saruman slowly pushed away the laboratory, and the figures of the chief priest and Golia appeared in front of him, even though he had just obtained the heaven-given spell and also obtained a trace of divinity, Saruman still knew that he needed to remain humble at the moment, so he leaned over slightly towards the two legendary women in front of him and said, "Your Excellency Golia! Your Excellency the Chief Priests! β¦β¦β
"Did the situation just alarm you?"
The chief priest saw more than Goliath, and she smiled and said, "Congratulations! Looks like you've gone further than we are. β
Saruman kept his humility, but a smile appeared on his face.
He knew very well that even if he had acquired a shred of divinity, he would still be an insignificant figure to His Excellency Sauron, the supreme ruler of the city of Mordor.
He has just gotten a new start and is still far from the road ahead.
"Let's see what abilities you've gained, shall we?"
The chief priest smiled and turned his gaze to Golia, who was a little confused, and signaled that she would understand what was going on.
Saruman nodded, "Yes." β
"I've just realized something, maybe you can give me some pointers."
Small pale golden particles appeared in Saruman's palm.
This was exactly what he had just fully researched, a more efficient fertilizer for cultivating demonic plants, and the casting material for a new spell he had just obtained.
Incredible!
The new spell was actually cast using this result as the core material.
- "Fertility! β
A faint aura of spell appeared, along with the aura of spell that appeared on Saruman's body. The small pale golden particles dissipated in the wind, and then turned into a little light and fell into the dirt in front of them.
Nothing has changed.
At least it didn't look like there had been any change, but the people present were not ordinary people, and the chief priest's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he smiled and said, "Congratulations! β
This is the second time she has said congratulations.
The ground doesn't seem to have changed much, but in fact it has changed and the land has become more fertile.
A heaven-sent spell that is not offensive.
The effect of the spell is to use the results of Saruman's just-completed experiment as a material, and cast an effect similar to 'fertility', making the barren land more fertile.
It doesn't look like much.
But the meaning of this is very deep.
Because this is the realm of the gods, Saruman's research has begun to feed back into the material plane. The Agricultural Temple took with him the first fertilizers he had researched, and it has begun to be promoted in many places.
The realm and priesthood of the goddess of agriculture include [Abundance]!
However, the core of Saruman's acquisition of the Heavenly Gift Spell is a vague [Fertility], which is an ability that belongs to the Fertility Realm, but it is more inclined to the Unnatural Realm, a result of human effort.
This is the law and the reward of mortals.
It seems that Saruman's first batch of fertilizers has begun to allow him to gain some information that belongs to the realm of the gods.
As the High Priest who presided over the Temple Church for Sauron, the Chief Priest saw much more, and Saruman gained not just a spell and a little divinity, but a ladder that could lead him to become a god.
γFertileγField!
This seems to be an emerging field if Saruman can further influence reality. and gain a little faith for himself, then it is possible for him to master the Fertile priesthood.
A priesthood where all farming races can be affected!
Maybe not strong enough.
But for a mortal, it is already a great opportunity!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
[Notes: Saruman gains 1 point of Heaven-given divinity and the Heaven-sent spell 'Fertility'.] γ
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The material plane has its own rules.
It's like a druid who has been active on the front lines of the Desert of Death all year round. It is possible for them to be progressed to become Tree Shepherds by natural feedback, and thus master the Plant's realm.
What is happening to Saruman now is a feedback from the material plane!
A little bit of seemingly inconspicuous feedback.
However, it is the ladder to the path of the gods of Saruman, which is the orthodox path of the natives of the material plane to become gods, after obtaining this god-given divinity. Saruman has the possibility of progressing to become a demigod.
By influencing the entire physical plane a little bit, he can gradually accumulate primordial divinity, and then slowly transform into a demigod.
Without the help of other gods. This process may last for hundreds of years, and then after becoming a demigod, Saruman needs to form a small church of his own, or serve and follow his own organization, so as to slowly cultivate the power of the godhead, and then step into the realm of the [false god] after spending hundreds of years.
At this time, if he openly declares himself to be a god, then he will be attacked by other churches as a [false god].
But if he continues to develop slowly, and continues to spend hundreds of years accumulating his strength and beliefs, when his existence has been known and accepted by more and more mortals and gods, Saruman, whose strength has reached a critical point, can be used to become a god, master the [fertile] realm and priesthood, and eventually become a god with [weak divine power]. Of course, the premise of everything is that he can live, his divinity and realm will not be plundered by other gods, and he will not die at the hands of powerful legendary adventurers.
This can take hundreds of years.
In the long history of the material plane, there have also been some mortal beings who have taken this opportunity to become divine beings, and then slowly enter the realm of gods.
This is how some of the gods of the Pantheon's [weak divine power] appeared.
However, these [weak gods] gods are very weak, and after becoming true gods, they often need to serve and follow some powerful gods, so that they can ensure their safety and will not be killed by other gods who covet their power and priesthood.
Without the Sage Havoc, Saruman might have been absorbed into the ranks of the gods who possessed the priesthood of Fertility, either as their servants or as gods, like the few goddesses of weak divine power who were sheltered by the goddess of agriculture. One of them is the spiritual incarnation of nature, a weak deity who was promoted by a divine water spirit hundreds of years ago.
But.
This is the time of the Sage Holocalypse, a time of great danger but also opportunity.
If Saruman could get the help of other gods, then the time for him to accumulate divinity and priesthood would be greatly reduced, and the accumulation of hundreds of years would only be a matter of a little power for some powerful enough gods. A man like him who possesses the seed of divinity is far more likely to become a god than other mortals, and the cost of promoting him is much less.
Saruman got a high starting point.
However, the foundation of this starting point is not solid, and he must first master the power of the [Fertile] realm before he can further enter the realm of the gods.
As a wizard, Saruman is still a bit weak.
Although his strength has improved rapidly during this time, the wizard professional level is only about level 17, and he is still far from the realm ability of the legendary realm.
Without touching the threshold of the legendary realm, it would be difficult for him to become a truly divine creature.
Even if he had today's opportunity, he would need to put in a lot of effort to enter the legendary realm, and then it would be possible to peek into the threshold of the demigods.
No doubt.
Saruman was very lucky, because it was the Agricultural Temple that was responsible for promoting the fertilizer he made, and the operation of a church was a bit special in itself, and it was naturally completely different for those mortals who were affected by the fertilizer. If these things were to be operated by a chamber of commerce, then the mortals who obtained the fertilizer would not have some change of faith that was biased towards the realm of gods, and it would be completely impossible for Saruman to obtain the divinity of the heavenly descent today, let alone peek into the realm of gods so easily.
Anyway.
He is indeed standing on a new stage now, and as a mortal with the potential to become a god, Modo City will definitely give him more attention and resources in the future.
