Chapter 125: Conditions for Becoming a God
"No matter what power system, which race, what kind of genius can ultimately reach the limit, it is the same. Merlin picked up his glass and shook it gently, "In a sense, that's fair." ”
Rob thought of a possibility and frowned, "You mean to say that the gods have manipulated the upper limit of their power?"
"Those things are very powerful, but they are not powerful enough to this extent, and it is the continent itself that sets the upper limit, what is the original intention...... I guess it's probably to prevent the emergence of forces that destroy this world, and it's a kind of self-defense mechanism for the world. Merlin shrugged, "And the Kingdom of God exists to accommodate more powerful forces. ”
Seeing the look on Rob's face, the fox masked man smiled, "Yes, it seems that you have also guessed their details, the so-called gods are just a civilized race that lived on the Dawn Continent earlier, or several civilized races...... However, one day, some people in the kingdom of God came up with other thoughts, and they did not want to share this powerful power with others, so they intervened to stop the hope of others to become gods. ”
Merlin paused, "I haven't been to the Kingdom of God, so the next part of the content is more of a conjecture, combined with what the temple has done over the past thousands of years, I am more inclined to think that the cultivation in the Kingdom of God needs to rely on faith, which explains why they will choose a wise race on the Dawn Continent every once in a while to support them, and it also explains why they don't want anyone else to become gods, because it will take away the faith they can get." ”
If the words of the fox masked man were placed before, they could be regarded as an absolute rebellion, and it would inevitably cause an uproar when it was spread,—— the supreme gods preached by the church turned out to be only more powerful mortals, and they were selfish and greedy, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to hundreds of millions of believers, but after the incident in Seta City, the thirteen members of the Council of the Magicians Guild used their lives to prove that gods can be killed, and the previous creed is gradually collapsing, and masters like Rob and D'Ardarion naturally think more.
The future Ultra Magister spoke, "What are we going to do to destroy them?"
"Good question. Merlin's middle finger tapped the glass lightly, "You need to understand one thing first - only gods can compete with gods, so there is only one way to win this battle, and that is to create a god of our own." ”
"But didn't you say that your hope of becoming a god has been blocked by those things?"
"That's true in theory, but there are exceptions. Merlin grinned, "Your teacher killed a god, but unfortunately that guy's body was teleported back to the kingdom of God at the last moment, fortunately, tens of thousands of years ago, our mutual friend Matata, the civilization behind him also successfully killed the gods, and that time the body of the unlucky god fell in the endless sea of trees, anyway, you have been to that dungeon, I wonder if you have reached the last layer?"
Rob shook his head.
"If you get there, you will be amazed at the greatness of those guys, their research on that god corpse has entered the final stage, and even reversed the method of sealing the gods from that god corpse, but unfortunately they don't have time, but even so they still keep the method of sealing the gods, as I said, sometimes you care too much about the girl of the Bretton family, and you have the opportunity to enter the world of that secret treasure but miss the biggest treasure inside. ”
"Now that you've got the means to become a god, why don't you become a god?"
"How do you know I'm not a god now?" the fox masked man blinked.
This is actually a question that Rob has always been difficult to understand, Merlin is a contemporary of Roland, he has lived for more than nine hundred years now, his figure has been throughout the history of magic, and he still maintains the appearance of his youth to this day, and immortality happens to be the biggest characteristic of a god, from this level he can no longer be considered a human, but according to his previous statement, after becoming a god, he will enter the kingdom of God, but he still stays in the world.
And what puzzled Rob the most was the strength of the fox mask man, the future super mage master had fought against the doppelganger of the gods on the top of the mountain in Annarip, and he was also present when the council led by Leonardo da Vinci successfully killed the gods in Seta City, so perhaps no one in the whole world knows the true strength of those things better than him.
But Rob doesn't feel a similar sense of oppression in Merlin, of course, it may be because Merlin has a way to hide his aura, but if that's the case, there is no way to explain why Merlin has been hidden by the temple all these years, although he has also built an empire in the dark over the past few hundred years, but all this is obviously not comparable to the freedom to walk in the sun.
"I'm in a special situation, strictly speaking, I'm really just a demigod. Merlin didn't mean to hide it, and said neatly, "The reason why I became like this is because of an accident. ”
"Accident?"
"Yes, you haven't been given the method of becoming a god, so I don't know how harsh the conditions for sealing a god are, in fact, even if I publish this method, no one in the current human world can successfully become a god. Merlin said, "The Divine Sealing Ritual requires the assistance of one hundred and twenty materials, and more than forty of them are not even in the inventory of the Wizards Guild, and even if you are lucky enough to get the first thirty-nine materials, there is one more thing that you will not be able to find anyway." ”
"What's that?"
"Flower of the Soul. The fox masked man said lightly, "This kind of small flower is the most important material for the god sealing ceremony, although there are not many on the continent originally, but you can find it if you look carefully, but now all the soul flowers have been brought to the god realm by those things, and none of them are left." ”
Merlin stretched out his hand, and half a small white flower appeared in his hand, "My soul flower comes from the fallen god of the Endless Sea of Trees, but it has fallen for too long, and the soul flower in my body has been mutilated, and it can only be regarded as half a flower, which is why I can only become a demigod, although I returned to youth and got eternal life after becoming a god, but the price is that my cultivation is forever fixed in the state at that time, and I can't make any progress, and I am only a third-order magician by Roland's system." ”
