Chapter 3: The Primordial Godhead

Shepard had never been here before, and it was the first time he had seen the villagers who followed the village chief kneeling down in the spacious stone caves, some of which were not at a good angle, and although they could see the bright light of fluorescent algae, they could not see the appearance of the spring.

Shepard also knelt down, listening to the village chief chanting in front of him, and suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, in his previous life, he was used to seeing the majestic and solemn prayers of the NPC priests in those temples in the game, but he never thought that on this foreign continent, although there are powerful spirits or demigods who can confront the holy ones after the game starts, there are also primitive beliefs like this sacred spring, and even the incarnation and even self-consciousness have not yet been formed.

When he was amused, his attention was a little lost, and he swept his gaze over the kneeling crowd, because he was taller than the other villagers, and his position was also higher than the others, but he was surprised to see that there seemed to be a shining crystal in the spring that flowed out of the spring.

He was stunned for a moment, looked carefully at the somewhat familiar crystal, and for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: "No wonder this spring has been believed in for hundreds of years but has not been incarnated...... It turns out that there was a primordial godhead? The sacredness of this spring should be that the godhead has absorbed the power of the villagers' faith, but the godhead is also an ownerless thing, so although this spring water is constantly changing, it will never be a natural spirit......"

It's just that he smiled halfway, but his expression suddenly froze: "The appearance of the primordial godhead must be accompanied by a natural spirit or demigod with independent consciousness...... But if this Godhead is Lord, how can it be placed here? Could it be that the original spirits or demigods were killed here? ”

He shook his head slightly: "No...... It is supposed to have fled here after being severely injured, and died of serious injuries, and the natural spirits and demigods that believed in the incarnation were all gods of faith, and the bodies were all transformed by divine power, and as soon as the consciousness was destroyed, the body was gone...... But why is Godhead still there? Could it be that believers are still believing in Him? No...... That's impossible...... It must have been the faith of the villagers that this godhead was preserved, right? But the villagers did not believe in the god he represented, which led to such an awkward situation......"

Shepard's heart suddenly became excited, Godhead, although the game itself does not mean that the gods are the strongest combat power, but it is called God War, and you know that the gameplay after becoming a god is the essence of the game! And how many players who play this game have no ambition to be gods and ancestors?

Lowering his head to calm the agitation in his heart, although Shepard was not afraid of these villagers, he didn't plan to fight with these kind people who saved him, anyway, he had already noted down the location......

*

After praying, the villagers left the cave one by one, and the village chief, who was walking at the end, gave a few commands to the people guarding the cave, and then led everyone back to the village.

Shepard, who was a little excited, waited until dark with torment, just in case he waited for the time of Rose's night attack, and sure enough, he caught the young girl who came to beg for pleasure, and slammed her pajamas, and then let Roses limp back to the house, and his mood calmed down with the venting, and when everything was quiet, he quietly left the warehouse by the moonlight.

The moonlit wilderness was actually dangerous, but Shepard carried Thrall's treasured dagger from Thrall's daughter, and he wasn't terrified unless he encountered a large beast.

Adjusting his breathing according to the rhythm of Salantos's breathing method, slowly recovering his physical strength to prolong his endurance, teaching Rothes a little weak legs, but fortunately, he can still hold on to gritting his teeth.

It took him twice as long to get out of the forest because of the difficulty of walking at night, and when he approached the cave, his hands and feet were much lighter.

After waiting nearby for a while, I heard the snoring of the two guards evenly, and I knew that this guard cave was probably an extremely boring errand, and even the beasts would not come over on this side facing the coast, and the family members arranged by the village chief estimated that the only worry every night was that there were extremely boring beasts running to add a meal, and they never thought that anyone would come.

Only at this time did he give full play to his physical fitness, and the skill attributes that were more prominent than his own strength attributes were enough to crush the two guards, allowing him to easily climb over the stone piles and wooden piles piled at the entrance of the cave, and then move the fence door stuck at the entrance of the cave, his movements were as light as cats, and he did not alarm the two people who were sleeping soundly at the door.

He smiled silently, and walked down the winding passage into the cavern, to the side of the sacred spring.

I didn't see it clearly when I came during the day, but when I walked to it, I could feel the sacred breath that was accumulating in the cave as the gurgling spring water flowed out, this waterhole was less than half a person deep, only a few steps wide, and there should be a small gap or dark hole that allowed the spring water to flow into the ground.

He took off his clothes lightly and slowly went down to the waterfront, if the pious villagers during the day saw this scene, he would have to fry the pot.

Shepard moved as silently as he could towards the spring, the slightly warm water washing away the filth and purifying the unclean.

"Hmm...... Somewhat lukewarm? I felt the effect of the spell that removed the evil...... It shouldn't be the normal nature of the Divine Spring, it seems that it is the effect of the Godhead......"

The high skill and the fact that he had learned to swim with Suniel for more than half a month were enough for him not to make a single superfluous sound in the spring, and it only took a few minutes for the not too big spring to reach its end.

Holding the inconspicuous little crystal in his hand, the system, which had not been moving for a long time, suddenly swiped out a large piece of data, and it took a long time to stabilize into a small light curtain.

【Primordial Godhead】

[Comes with Priesthood: Flame, Purification, Light]

[Divine Power: Weak]

[Discover the primordial godhead, do you absorb it?] 】

Shepard thought for a while, and decisively chose to absorb.

The primordial godhead in his hand turned into a white light and fell into the center of his eyebrows, and as soon as his heart moved, he felt that there seemed to be something more in the spiritual sea that was like one with himself, this feeling was very wonderful, and the system prompt that followed proved this.

[Discover the convergence point of the power of faith, do you draw it?] 】

Shepard decisively chose yes, as if out of thin air an extra whirlpool, absorbing all the sacred breath in this stone cave and the sacredness in the spring water, and when it stopped, it became an ordinary underground cave, and even the fluorescent algae that survived on the sacred spring water gradually dimmed.

Shepard was still soaked in the fountain of warm water, but the darkness was not enough to affect him, and the personal panel in his vision also changed.

[Name: Shepard]

[Race: Divine Creature]

[Divine Power Level: Weak Divine Power (Demigod)]

【Priesthood: Flame, Purification, Light】

[Title: None]

[Achievement: None]

[Power: D]

[Skill: D+]

[Intelligence: D]

[Other...... Charm: C】

[Class: Civilian (10/10)]

【Transcendent Divine Power: Change Form】

[Normal Skills: Dark Vision, Paluin Fighting Skill (MAX), Salantos Archery (MAX), Salantos Breathing Method, Celtic Bow Making (2/5), Short Weapon Forging (3/5), Swimming (2/5), Diving, Chopping Wood]

After having a godhead and a weak divine power as the lowest strength representing the true god (the official judgment that the demigod belongs to the common name, and it is also a true god, there is no ignition of the divine fire setting of the sect leader in this book), Shepard's entire attribute panel has changed, and the difference between extraordinary creatures and mortals is so obvious, and both attributes and skills have changed, and he has obtained the first random possession of extraordinary divine power that he naturally has after becoming a god.

What extraordinary divine power is obtained is randomly selected according to the allowable range of the current attributes, if it is still in the game, Shepard has probably created a historical record, the weakest true god in history, the only attribute that reaches C is actually charm, and even the profession is only civilian, and because he chopped wood for more than half a month, he practiced to the full level.

However, Shepard was very optimistic, and he had already figured out a way to do it after many lessons learned from the game in his previous life, so he gently climbed out of the waterhole, and with dark vision, he could see even without light, and after putting on his clothes, he whispered sorry to the two unlucky children who were guarding the cave when he walked out of the cave, and then Shi Shiran returned to the village.

*

The head of the fishing village, who woke up from his sleep, hurriedly led people to the place where the sacred spring was, but the fishing village was still peaceful, and no one noticed the change in the village chief's house.

It wasn't until dawn that the village chief, with a sad face, returned to the fishing village with his dejected family, and the villagers gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, why do I feel a little panicked?"

"Huh? Do you feel this way too? I have it too! ”

"You all have? Let's go for a walk and ask the village chief to ......"

After all, the spring water that has been sacred in symbiosis with the primordial godhead has been believed in by the fishing village for a hundred years, and now it has been drawn from the bottom of the Shepard kettle, and the villagers who have lost their faith and sustenance can still feel the panic in their hearts, although they are not in tears like the mature god-man relationship.

Not long after returning home, the village chief found that the villagers who asked for help were gathered at the gate, and he had to cheer up and go out, admitting that the accident had happened: "...... Sacred Spring...... Disappeared ......"

The villagers suddenly became noisy, and it was hard to believe that the sacred spring water that the fishing village had believed in for a hundred years was gone, but all the villagers without exception noticed the changes in their bodies, and this change could only be associated with miracles.

"Where's the Sanniel?!" Suddenly, someone noticed that a few people were missing from the familiar face.

The villagers looked at each other and saw that only the Sannil family had not come.

"Did they do it? It can't be, right?! ”

Decades of neighborly relations are so difficult to balance in the face of faith, after all, the spring water of the sacred spring is an important support for the villagers to survive in this wasteland, and without the spring water to regularly remove impurities and toxins from the villagers and replenish some nutrients, the villagers would have been sick a lot due to malnutrition.

The middle-aged village chief shouted, "Don't make any noise, follow me to Sunil's house to see why their family didn't come." ”
