"The power of fate, to put it bluntly, is to rely on the control and use of source energy to deduce and calculate a person's future. Then choose the one that is most likely to be achieved from the star-like results. This process was not very difficult for me at that time. But the point is that to predict a person's fate, or even to change it, requires an extremely large amount of source energy. ”

Asaph. Augustus's eyelids closed slightly, and he paused before he spoke again: "Some spells of the Prophecy School can actually control the power of fate. For example, early warning can allow the victim to receive timely warning in the event of a sudden attack, so as to avoid danger. This spell actually predicts the fate of the recipient in the next few seconds. But just predicting a future that is as short as a breath time can consume a lot of arcane energy. So the early warning spell is a nine-ring spell. ”

Predicting one's fate in just a few seconds requires so much energy. So what kind of energy does it take to predict or even control the fate of a person's life?

What's more, what His Majesty the Elemental Emperor wants to become is the god of fate, a great being who holds the divine position of destiny and can predict, change, and control the fate of all creatures in this multiverse.

"It's impossible." Asaph. Augustus shook his head, "After my calculations, even if I collect all the source energy of the entire main material realm and other known planes, and convert every plant, every stone, and every drop of water in the main material realm into source energy, and use them all. It is also impossible to achieve the set goals. Although I have the ability to predict and change the fate of one person, or several people, this is far from the priesthood of the god of fate. Far from it. So when I realized this reality, I stopped researching. ”

No matter how genius an idea is, no matter how impeccable a theory is, it must be based on this material world. Because of the constraints of objective conditions, Asaph. Augustus knew that he would never become the god of fate.

In other words, no one can be the so-called god of fate.

"Since there is no way to become the god of fate. Then forget it. I'm not someone who likes to drill the horns. "After this slightly heavy history of failure, Asaph. Augustus's face lightened, "And the gods of the other gods." I'm not interested either. Because there are too many restrictions on becoming a god, it is far less easy than being a mortal. ”

For ordinary people, becoming a god is nothing more than two benefits.

One. Great power.

Second. Infinite lifespan. It does not age unless it dies unexpectedly.

The problem is that these two benefits are infinitely attractive to ordinary people, but not to His Majesty the Elemental Emperor.

Mighty power? He already had. Would a great Arcanist of Nether, who can slaughter gods, envy the power of the so-called gods?

Infinite lifespan? He already has.

As the first person worthy of the name of the Grand Arcanist of the Magic Empire of Netherduran from its birth to the time of its destruction, Asaph has been the first person to be named a great arcanist. Augustus had his own life extension. The secret way to stay youthful and energetic. For him, time is no longer something to be cherished. Non-tradable luxury.

Other Imperial Grand Arcanists may not be as brilliant as the Elemental Emperors and have their own secrets to immortality, but Iorum, the other great, may be second only to Asaph. The Grand Arcanist of Augustus has learned a legendary spell called Iolum Immortality that can prolong the lives of Arcanists. Although the spell was extremely demanding, it had few side effects and quickly spread among the Grand Arcanists.

As for the transformation of the lich, in that era, it was a low-level method that was a low-level method that was a last resort for third-rate mages with no talent or strength.

Instead of sitting on the throne of the god of destiny that he created, but becoming another god, not only would it be of no benefit to His Majesty the Elemental Emperor, but it would also add a lot of restraint for no reason.

"Young man, do you know what a god is? Do you know why I don't care about being a god? ”

Gordon knew that the other party asked this kind of thing, and he was deliberately trying to test himself. However, this kind of pure theoretical problem is difficult for him, who is familiar with the entire game setting of "Ancient Era".

"There are two sides to God. We can think of it as an immortal mortal who has mastered the power of the law and is powerful. We can also think of it as a concrete individual personified by the power of the law. ”

"That's accurate. A god is actually a compound of half law and half personality. ”

Gordon continues: "It is precisely because of this special nature of existence that the gods often have their own limitations. A mortal is absolutely free until he becomes a god. He may be bound by the moral laws of society, but it is not impossible to break these shackles. At best, it's just a matter of ability, not an essential rule limit.

For example, a noble guard who believes in Eracis, who is in the neutral camp, wants to kill his allegiance to his master, take his fortune, and then worship Bane, the god of tyranny. Then the question faced by this noble guard is only whether it can be done, not whether it can be done.

But if Mirett, the god of conquest and war, suddenly thinks that I don't want to go to war anymore and let life be ruined. I want to spread peace and love and resolve the strifes of the world. Then the problem he faces is not whether he is capable enough to do this, but that he can't do it at all.

Because of his priesthood, the laws he mastered, and the divine throne beneath his ass bound him and kept him from doing as he pleased.

"It is precisely because of this limitation of the gods that in history, there have been mortals who have been able to take advantage of this to deceive, exploit, and even defeat the gods."

Gordon continued to slowly state his knowledge of the gods: "It is true that the gods are all extremely intelligent beings. In terms of wisdom, in terms of experience, in terms of insight, few mortals can compare to the gods. But because the gods are deeply integrated with the law, their way of thinking, their logical patterns, their moral codes, and their ways of acting are all traceable. When you meet Melicia, the goddess of dawn, as long as you are not so bad that you are pus-shedding, and you are not an undead, then you will most likely not encounter danger. And if you sincerely ask the goddess, she may help you save people and heal them. But if you're meeting Zehir, then beware of this guy poisoning and killing people. ”

Gordon spoke eloquently, so that Asaph. Once again, Augustus was amazed at the erudition of the young man in front of him. For a mage who knows so much about the gods, it is difficult to find even among the old men with white beards. Being able to recognize and understand the nature of the gods, and the source of their power, the power of the law, is much more difficult than learning a few Nine Ring spells.

It was precisely because he understood the nature of the gods so clearly that Gordon never had the idea of becoming a god. However, now that he was only a mid-level mage, he was still trying to condense his true name, and it seemed too far to consider this kind of problem.

"Well, the topic seems to have gone a little far." Asaph. Augustus put an end to this discussion of the gods. He said, "I am now out of control of the power of fate, and when I decided to give up, it was exactly twenty years ago. That year was called the year of the gloom by astrologers. ”

Gordon, of course, remembers the famous year of the stars. Because that year was the year in which the owner of his body was born.

As for the reason why the astrologers named the year "Starlight", it is because on a summer night, all the stars above the sky suddenly became dull and almost disappeared. This phenomenon lasted for a total of two hours, which frightened all the astrologers in the main material world, and even some impatient third-rate astrologers expressed many apocalyptic prophecies of "the plane is collapsing, and the multiverse is about to be destroyed" based on the celestial phenomena of this night.

Of course, now these people have all been slapped in the face by reality.

"The one who scared the astrologers out of their minds was me." His Majesty the Elemental Emperor pointed at him, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You dimmed all the stars in the sky, why?"

"Nope. My purpose is not to be such a boring thing. The starry phenomenon is just a side effect of my realization. He explained, "Although I have given up on my plan to become the god of fate, as a mage who adheres to the principle of 'beginning and end', I have decided to complete the fourth realization. After all, understanding the law of change of the pure power of destiny is also very helpful for my other research. ”

"I'm the fourth real yàn, right?"

"Speaking of which, I think with your cleverness, you would have guessed it a long time ago. However, the result is not important, but some details that may help you. ”

Asaph. The fourth real yàn body chosen by Augustus is not a naturally born intelligent being, nor is it a ready-made life that directly uses magic to make zuò. He created a seed of life and implanted it into a randomly selected ordinary female mage. This process is similar to artificial insemination, except that Asaph. The seeds of life created by Augustus had no connection with his own bloodline.

Gordon felt fortunate. It would be a bit sad if his body looked like the chubby middle-aged man in front of him. At least when pursuing girls, it will be a little more difficult for no reason because of the appearance problem.

"The female mage you chose should be my titular mother. But how to solve the problem of the soul? The soul of a baby born from my mother's womb still belongs to the natives of this world, and it will be disturbed by the power of its own destiny. ”

"You're right. So I need a soul from the outer realm, the farther away the better, preferably another crystal wall system, to implant in the seed of life. That soul is you. (To be continued!)
