In the current state of Talos, if he continues to use his martial arts and combat expertise to fight the enemy, it will only consume a negligible amount of physical strength and energy, but it needs to be affirmed that the participation of divine power in this process is inevitable, just like animals need to breathe, it is an instinct, the instinct of the gods.

In fact, for the gods, almost any other activity involves the participation of divine powers, unless they are asleep, but there is a difference between a large amount and a small amount.

The bad thing is that the birth of divine power is not as simple as mortals imagine, its birth is extremely slow, not that the speed of soul fire calcining and refining faith is too slow, but the birth of each divine power requires a lot of faith, and in one day, Talos has accumulated twenty-four divine powers.

You know, there are seven physical planes that are now providing faith for Talos!

Now the six-armed Naga finally understands why the Church of the Gods cares so much about secular beliefs, and truly empathizes, he has seven material planes as the backing, and after instilling a few divine powers into the four parallel universe isotopes, he is facing the embarrassing situation of "financial constraints".

The cost of a god's divine power is not small, the god's own activities need to consume some, it takes a lot of divine power to open up and build the kingdom of God, and it takes a lot of divine power to induce the souls of believers to reincarnate them as supplicants, and it takes divine power to be responsible for the life, battle, and maintenance of the kingdom of God for the prayer person, and it takes divine power to give priests divine magic......

What's worse is that all the above kinds of divine power expenses are not suitable for reduction, especially to maintain the operation of the kingdom of God and give priests divine magic, reduce the divine power given, the armed force of the church is weakened, which is not conducive to maintaining and spreading faith, and the spread of faith is unfavorable, and the divine power that the gods can transform from faith is reduced, and the divine power becomes less, so they can only continue to rack their brains to cut expenses, and soon, a vicious circle is formed.

If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a divine war, the situation will be even worse, and the expenditure of divine power will be like flowing water.

The war of the gods often starts from the material plane, first the public opinion attacks, smear the hostile gods, destroy their images similar to "lofty", "truth, goodness and beauty", and "divine majesty" in the minds of believers and the people, and then the church confronts, confrontations, and wars, reducing, destroying, and even destroying the belief base of the hostile gods in the material plane.

Generally speaking, the war of gods is a very long process, and even some weak divine power can be directly dragged down during the stage of secular church war.

Of course, the distress about faith and divine power can only be experienced by the gods themselves, no matter how weak the divine power is, he is qualified to live forever, Talos is now a god, and he is qualified to say that their lives are tight, just like a billionaire can wantonly laugh at a millionaire's poor family, compared to mortals, there is no doubt that the gods are powerful, otherwise Talos would not have been caught by an incarnation of the god of order and knights before.

After pausing the fusion of other parallel universes through glory, Talos turned his attention to another important question about the future: what should be the way forward, whether it was the path of the new gods or the path of the gods.

Urban I had warned Talos not to use divinity as fuel, ignite it with the soul, and sublimate it into a divine fire, which is the path that belongs to the gods, a wrong path, and the soul fire will automatically obtain the same function as the divine fire when the Chosen One continues to ascend and transform from the fifth order.

This has just been verified by Talos, and now the new soul fire that blooms with a blue glow can receive the prayers of believers, refining faith and transforming it into divine power, not only that, but it is also a symbol of Talos's immortality of the soul from now on, providing a second way for the six-armed Naga to obtain divine power, and through meditation, the surrounding elemental energy can be converted into divine power with a not-so-high efficiency.

This means that Talos's soul fire has the characteristics of both the gods and the new gods, and it is also the fundamental reason why Talos stands at a crossroads, to the right, to further condense the priesthood and become a member of the gods, and to the left, to try to extract divinity, refine the blood of the gods, and become a new god.

"Urban I warned me not to follow the path of the gods because he has perceived part of the nature of the multiverse, which is the laboratory of the ancient giant gods represented by the god of order and knights and the goddess of the moon. ”

"Only by becoming a new god can you be qualified to resist with the power of the Black Star, but ...... That's right, Urban I deliberately split the Frost Crown into three, and he probably realized that there were also problems within the new gods when he fled from the Black Star, and the Thor of the Black Star in Universe No. 2 was the Ancient Giant God, hiding behind the scenes to fuel the flames, intensifying the contradiction between the gods and the new gods, and it is estimated that the same is true of the No. 0 universe where I was originally located. ”

Because of this, Urban I was surrounded and suppressed by the two camps of the new gods and the gods in the process of searching for answers, and finally died.

In addition, once the gods embark on the path of the gods, there is still an unavoidable problem, the gods are promoted to the third order of silver outside the multiverse, and the glory begins to radiate to other parallel universes, absorbing the soul imprint of the isotope, the remaining faith impurities and desires will completely burst out, tearing the gods into a pair of special creatures of binary opposites, angels and demons.

Faith is both the nourishment of the growth of the gods and a deadly poison.

Until now, there has been no precedent for the gods to step into the Golden Rank, which is of course due to the fact that the Ancient Titan God blocked the possibility of other beings advancing to the Golden Rank, but it is impossible to deny the fact that there is an end to the path of the gods, and to some extent, the path of the gods is indeed "wrong".

"But I'm different!" Talos inexplicably felt a sense of pride, "With the soul fire, I need to face the counterattack of the seven primordial desires, which fundamentally solves the possibility of being torn apart by the impurities and desires of belief in the future, and those precipitated impurities and desires have been stripped from my body a long time ago in the form of primordial desires or even the incarnation of primordial desires." ”

In other words, even if Talos embarked on the path of the gods, he would not have to worry about being torn into two parts, angels and demons, when he was in the third order of silver (powerful divine power), in fact, there is probably no god in the world who has a higher utilization of faith than Talos - both faith and the impurities in faith are absorbed by Talos himself and the original desire incarnation.

Therefore, for Talos, he is personally more inclined to the gods, and the path of the gods and the path of soul fire overlap greatly to a certain extent, and the demand for faith is relatively large, so there is no need to think about how to refine the blood of the gods and extract divinity.

"To become a member of the gods, I have to think carefully about how to assemble the priesthood that suits me best, and I can't clash with other gods. ”

The clerical potential determines the upper limit that the gods can reach, so the conflicts caused by the clerical conflict become more and more irreconcilable, and the above knowledge comes from the knowledge that automatically generates in Talos's mind after the soul fire metamorphoses again.

If there were both the goddess of the sea who held the priesthood of the ocean and the goddess of the spring who held the priesthood of the spring, their relationship would certainly not be too harmonious, and the two would have divided the authority of the gods in the realm of water, of course, there were more of the former and less of the latter.

If the goddess of the sea can't get rid of the goddess of springs, she will never have the possibility of ascending to the great divine power, the limit is the powerful divine power, if there are other goddesses of rivers, lakes, ice and snow, rain, deep sea, and ocean lords in the same universe, she is not even qualified to touch the powerful divine power.

The power of any priesthood realm is limited, and to a certain extent, the principle of conservation is followed, and the more gods who divide the priesthood realm, the less powerful the authority dispersed into the hands of the gods, and the more unable it is to continue to promote upwards.

"What priesthood should I choose?" Talos thought seriously, "The priesthood of the sea, after all, I am a Naga, and the most suitable for sea creatures is the priesthood of the ocean realm, and the priesthood of Naga should also be easy to condense. ”

Although the [Naga] priesthood belongs to the racial priesthood, and the potential is not low, the higher the promotion, the easier it is to combine with the entire race, more and more closely, until it is inseparable, and from then on, one will be prosperous and one will be lost, as for the [Ocean] priesthood, if you want to be promoted to the third order of silver and powerful divine power, there are roughly two paths.

The first is the pure [water] path, sweeping away the other gods in the world who also control the [water] realm, and grasping as much authority as possible; the second is to introduce the power of other realms to jointly support the capital to advance towards powerful and great divine power, such as extending the domain to the [storm] priesthood and [lightning] priesthood based on the [ocean] priesthood, and become the lord of the ocean and storm, both the emperor of the sky and the lord of the deep sea.

Talos thought about it and finally decided to become a great god who ruled the [Water Element] of the four elements, but instead of the traditional path of dividing the priesthood with the sea, lakes, rivers, rain, snow, and clouds, he was ready to redivide the authority of the [Water] realm and redefine the [Water Element] from another perspective after becoming the god of the sea, just like the six primordial gods of the multiverse derived from different three sides.

The dragon of light has three sides, namely the dawn, the scorching sun and dusk, and the dragon of water is also three-sided, one side symbolizes the ocean of life and calm ripples, one side symbolizes the madness of the deep sea, the wave of destruction, and the other side symbolizes the ice and snow and freezes everything, and Talos's first definition of [water] is based on the bloodline expertise attached to the bloodline of the whale of the ancient world, symbolizing that where there is blood and water, it is the place where the sea god is omnipotent.

It is a power to rule over all waters, including setting up tsunamis, dividing the seas, and controlling blood, and the real goal of the six-armed Naga is the god of water, not a simple god of the sea.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Talos can condense the [Ocean] priesthood as soon as possible, or retreat to the next best, first condense other priesthoods related to [water], and then slowly sublimate, but Talos doesn't want to do this, he also has a Frost Holy Crown that gathers two-thirds of the origin in his hand, a divine object about [water].
