Chapter 44: The Difference and Relationship between the Priesthood and the Godhead and the Divinity (2)

Leon was a little confused when he heard Apollo's words, and thought 'Priesthood? Godhead? …… Is the priesthood as important as Apollo said? Isn't the Godhead the most important thing to the gods? …… Forget it, go ahead and listen to what Apollo had to say! ’

Apollo knew what Leon was thinking when he saw his expression, so he said, "Leon, do you think I've said too much?" ”

Li Ang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, I just don't understand, why do you say that a god with a priesthood is a real god?" Is it the difference in strength? ”

After hearing this, Apollo shook his head and continued: "Leon, you still don't understand, then I'll tell you in detail." ”

"Lyon, you know what! The difference between a god of service and a god without a job is not only that, a god without a godhood, once his godhead is taken away, then he is not a god, just a humanoid immortal, but the god with a godhood is different, even if the godhead is taken away, but as long as his godhood is still there, then his godhead will still be slowly restored, but at a slower speed. ”

When Apollo said this, Leon suddenly remembered an episode in the [Legend of Olympus] that he had watched, that is, the episode where Zeus was robbed of his power, and the episode where Hermes rescued Zeus, and now when Leon heard Apollo's words, he couldn't help but think of that episode, and thought, 'Could it be that Zeus's power taken away is'Godhead!'" …… It's a big possibility! It's just that even Zeus will be robbed of his power...... Then I have to become stronger, so strong that no one can threaten my life......

Thinking of this, Li Ang's hanging hand clenched involuntarily but silently......

And Apollo didn't notice Leon's movements, but continued: "...... And it is a secret that the godhead of a priest can restore itself...... However, you also have a priesthood anyway, and you will definitely find out later, and I tell you now that you can also ......"

Apollo looked left and right, and then whispered to Leon, "Actually, this thing may be a little incredible, but it's true...... The Godhead has the ability to give power to ordinary gods (to make gods have divine powers), and the priesthood is able to increase the power of the gods, and once the priesthood and the Godhead are combined, its power is even more terrifying, but these two are the power maintained by the faith of living beings......"

"Even, once there is no living creature believing in a priesthood god, then its priesthood will even collapse, and the collapsed priesthood will severely damage that god! Even more seriously, that god might even have a broken godhead! ”

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but have a doubt, and thought, 'That's not right! Aren't those ordinary gods believed in by anyone, but don't they still have power? Moreover, is there such a priesthood, and is there a godhead? Why do those 'gods' have a godhead, but say that those gods are not real gods, obviously in many novels, a god, his godhead is not the fundamental? And divinity, what's the use of all this? ’

With so many doubts, Leon continued to listen to what Apollo had said, wanting to get answers from it.

“…… Ordinary gods, if someone believes in him, he can also perceive and accept them, but without a priesthood, he can receive too little faith...... Well, for example, faith is like a bird, and God is the bird's home, but without a priesthood, the faith he gains is like a lost bird, which is difficult to get, so to speak, Leon, you know! ”

Li Ang nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood.

"Having said all that, you now know the difference between a priest and a non-vocation! Now, then, let me talk about Godhead! ”

"Well, we gods don't know much about the specific things of the Godhead, we only know that the Godhead should be a wonderful crystallization, and it can give eternal life to living beings, so our gods also call it the proof of eternal life."

"However, the Godhead can be given, just like you, so most gods feel that the Godhead should be the authority of the world......"

When Leon heard this, he had another doubt, that is, how did the energy of the godhead replenish it?

So, Li Ang couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty Apollo, I understand the priesthood, but how is the divine power in the godhead of ordinary gods and priesthood gods replenished after they are consumed?" And what's the deal with divinity? ”

Apollo was about to continue, but was interrupted by Leon, but when he heard Leon's words, Apollo was not annoyed, and even wanted to laugh, he said: "It's good that you asked me these questions, otherwise you will be ridiculed by other gods, but it is understandable, after all, you were just a mortal before, and it is understandable if you don't know these things, then I will tell you!" ”

Apollo coughed twice, and then said: "After the stored divine power in the godhead is consumed, the world will naturally come to help you replenish it, but it is a little slower, oh, by the way, this point, for the priesthood, it can also be replenished through faith, because the faith of living beings can also be transformed into divine power, which is quite fast, and even, as long as you believe in your living beings enough, you don't even need to save divine power like those ordinary gods." ”

"As for the ...... divinity," said this, Apollo couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still held back and said: "Of course, divinity is only possessed by gods, and mortals will have divinity naturally because their ancestors are gods!" ”

Hearing this, Leon understood a little, Apollo and their statements may not be all right, because, Leon already has some feelings, Apollo They are probably limited by the world, like divinity, although Leon doesn't know much either, but Leon has a feeling that not only the descendants of gods will have divinity......

But Leon didn't tell Apollo about this, and continued to ask: "Then what kind of divine power will the priesthood of the minor god give to the minor god under the crown of Apollo, or what kind of power will it be (Zeus is the god of thunder and can control thunder)!" ”

When Apollo heard Leon's question, he thought for a while and said: "Well, maybe it's a power related to fire and teaching others, it mainly depends on what the creatures who believe in you think, but it should be able to control power such as fire, after all, in the mortal night, fire is generally regarded as a force to drive away beasts and evil, and you have the title of guardian of the night and the priesthood, then, fire has a great possibility as your power!" ”

Hearing Apollo's words, Leon suddenly remembered something, and thought, 'No, isn't the flame that appeared in the mortal world after Prometheus stole the divine fire...... Hey, wait, it looks like I got out of the fire when I was grilling fish in Delos...... So what's going on, the world information is wrong, it shouldn't be...... Wait, it seems that Zeus hasn't started to create man yet, so if there is no flame, it should be a bronze human who makes Prometheus steal fire, right......?'

(PS: By the way, the gods that Apollo said in the book are not all right, so you don't need to see them too important, so don't feel entangled when you see something different from the gods that Apollo said in the future)

(PS: In [Legend of Olympus], there are actually some contradictions, for example, it is clear that the flame that only existed in the mortal world after Prometheus stole the divine fire, but before that, mortals were already using flames to drive away beasts, so I wrote it as a different era.) )

(PS: Also, in fact, the offspring between gods and gods are not necessarily gods, like the son of the sun god Apollo and the goddess Mosse, Orps he is not a god...... )

(PS: By the way, there is one last sentence, why the world will replenish the divine power for the gods, the author will explain it later, please rest assured)
