Chapter 136: The Road to Godhood
The East Continent, also known as the Yin Slot Continent, is the smallest of the three continents, and it is also the most populated, the plains of the entire continent are basically human territory, only the mountain range, swamp area, forest area live some other races, and in the human territory, the largest empire is the Lane Empire and the East Luo Empire.
Although the two countries are both human empires, they are a feud, and I don't know how many wars they have fought since the founding of the country.
Until 200,000 years ago, the orcs of the Western Continent invaded the Eastern Continent through the land bridge and sea route, and the two human empires established a human strategic alliance in order to resist the invasion of the Western Continent, and united countless kingdoms and principalities on the Eastern Continent that depended on their existence to launch an unprecedented orc war.
The reason why the orcs of the Western Continent invaded the Eastern Continent was mainly because the resources of the Western Continent were relatively poor, coupled with the fact that the Western Continent was close to the Wild Forest, every thousand years, they would be affected by the tide of demonic beasts in the Wild Forest, and the living conditions were a hundred times more difficult than those of the Eastern Continent.
Therefore, when the orcs of the Western Continent condensed their power in the midst of barbarism and war, the first thing they did was to fight a foreign war, and they were eyeing the human empire of the Eastern Continent, which was famous for its richness and prosperity.
In fact, a long time ago, the Western Continent was also extremely rich, but because the vast majority of the orcs living here were non-productive predators, in the absence of strong control, they wantonly conquered and fished, resulting in the permanent destruction of the ecological balance of the Western Continent, which has become the barren appearance it is today.
Even after hundreds of thousands of years of development, it is still in the era of barbaric and backward tribes.
When the legendary creature Beamon 200,000 years ago established the Beamon Royal Court with overwhelming power, the orcs of the entire Western Continent were integrated for the first time.
But unification doesn't mean that orcs can live a good life from now on.
On the contrary, Beamon, who believes in strength, is extremely barbaric in governing the country, and when he found that the resources of the Western Continent were not enough to feed the billions of orcs in the Western Continent, he decisively launched a war of aggression against the human empire of the Eastern Continent, with the aim of plundering the resources of the Eastern Continent and depleting the population of the orcs.
If you can take advantage of the situation to capture the Eastern Continent and occupy that rich territory, it will naturally be the best.
If not, it will at least alleviate the current strained resource and population problems in the western continent.
This brutal solution, while simple, is quite effective.
It's a pity that the three continents at that time had already experienced tens of thousands of years of peace, and the declaration of war by the Beamon royal court without hesitation instantly alarmed all the forces on the three continents.
In the end, with the covert encouragement of the Human Empire, the war smoothly spread to the whole world.
Those who are friendly with the Human Empire, such as the Holy Dragon Empire in the Northern Continent, the Elven Kingdom in the Green Forest, and the most powerful Greystone Kingdom among the dwarves, have joined the fight against the Orcs.
The goblins, who have always had a poor relationship with humans and dwarves, joined the orc camp, bringing their proud goblin technology to help the orcs develop rapidly, and won victory after victory in many local battlefields.
This war almost laid the foundation for the next 200,000 years.
To this day, the three continents are still in opposition to each other.
As for the outcome of this war, only one sentence is written in the history books about the tragic victory of the Human Empire.
Even with the Spring and Autumn period brushwork, Yi Shu can still imagine how tragic it was in the later stages of that war.
Although the orcs have a backward civilization, their combat power is very amazing, without equipment, an orc can also deal with more than three trained human soldiers, and the powerful races among the orcs, such as lions, werewolves, etc., have a powerful power far beyond the professions of the same level.
With the help of the goblins, the orcs quickly improved their equipment and combat power.
Although humans have the advantage in terms of strength and high-end strength, they can't stand the orcs, so they don't want to die!
Those goblin technologies that seemed crazy to other races were used like a fish in water in the hands of orcs, and all the suicidal individual wings and bomb airships were gladly accepted by the orcs.
Because of this, although the orcs lost the final battle, they also won the favor of the goblins.
Since then, the two crazy races have officially formed an alliance that continues to this day.
As for why the two races are still not the opponent of the human camp after joining forces, it is necessary to mention another very important participant in this war - the Holy Dragon Empire in the Northern Continent.
The Northern Continent, also known as the Belocher Continent, is the largest of the three continents, and it is also the most dazzling place for the development of magical civilization.
The dean of every magic academy is the pinnacle of the Sage.
The Seven Peak Sages, together form the Holy Dragon Council, which wields the supreme power of the entire empire.
But this does not mean that the Holy Dragon Empire is similar to a constitutional monarchy.
Because among the seven magic academies, the most powerful is the Holy Dragon Magic Academy, which is dominated by the imperial family, and the title of its dean is often held by the current emperor.
As for why the Holy Dragon Empire is called this name, it is naturally because the imperial family of the empire has the bloodline of the Holy Dragon.
The Holy Dragon, also known as the Bright Dragon, is a variant of the Golden Dragon, a legendary true dragon that has mastered the magic of light, and the founding emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was a half-dragon born after the combination of a mysterious holy dragon and a human woman.
Ordinary half-dragons don't have much status in the eyes of real dragons.
But the bloodline born by the holy dragon is enough to be on an equal footing with the real dragon.
Because of this, the Holy Dragon Empire maintains a good relationship with Dragon Island and the Dragon Clan.
At the end of the war that year, the Lyon Empire and the Dongluo Empire paid a great price, inviting nearly 100 adult dragons from Dragon Island through the Holy Dragon Empire, and laid the foundation for the victory of the final battle in one fell swoop.
It also shows what a powerful legendary creature the dragon is.
After reading the collection of books in the mage tower, Yi Shu was a little unsatisfied.
So he went to the dragon's lair of the crystal dragon Tyxon that night, and after getting permission, looked through his collection.
Although he had expected it for a long time, the moment he actually walked into the library, Yi Shu was still shocked by the vast sea of books in front of him.
In this regard, the crystal dragon Tyxon proudly said that in this world, only the Moon Hall of the Elf Clan and the Royal Library of the Holy Dragon Academy of Magic can be compared to here.
Yi Shu gave a few perfunctory compliments, and then plunged headlong into this vast sea of books.
Here he saw many of the legendary forbidden books mentioned in the collection of the Mage's Tower.
For example, the [Path to Godhood] in his hand is the masterpiece of the Genius Supremacist Mystic Magic Association mentioned in the collection of the Mage Tower.
In the book, the original professions are divided into six orders, two orders are a small hurdle, and the legend is set as the seventh order where the inside and outside meet, the sage is divided into the eighth order of the Holy Spirit level and the ninth order of the holy domain level, and the demigod is the tenth order, as for why the god level is the twelfth order, not the eleventh order, the book also gives a detailed explanation.
After reading this forbidden book, Yi Shu realized that the conventional path to godhood in this world had been cut off.
The normal process of becoming a god requires sacrificing one's soul, igniting a divine fire, and condensing one's own divine power by combining magic power with the power of faith.
But since the fall of the gods, the rules of this plane seem to have changed.
The methods of igniting the divine fire that had been handed down from the gods were all nullified.
All the demigods who want to follow this path are unable to ignite the divine fire, or even absorb the power of faith.
This leads to the fact that from a million years ago to the present, the strongest powerhouse in the Bos world has always been a demigod, even if it is as strong as the Golden Dragon King Rodrigo, don't want to break through this bottleneck.
Because of this, the mystical magic association has come up with another way to become a god.
They also discovered the nature of magical mimicry as Yi Shu, and thus decided that magic has infinite possibilities.
So, in hundreds of thousands of years of research, they finally used the essence of magic mimicry to simulate a kind of fake belief power, through the combination of false belief power and magic power, they can infinitely improve the origin of magic power, and use this to obtain super magic power comparable to divine power.
And this is the origin of what they call the eleventh order.
Any demigod-level powerhouse whose magic power has begun to undergo a qualitative change is an eleventh-order powerhouse.
After reading this forbidden book, Yi Shu was a little curious, wondering if they had succeeded, so he took the book to meet Crystal Dragon Tyxon.
Seeing the familiar title of the book in Yi Shu's hand, Crystal Dragon Tyxon had a nostalgic look on his face.
"It turned out to be this book, no wonder you are curious, but unfortunately, I have to tell you that this method is only theoretical, and it is impossible to succeed at all!"
"Why?"
"Because neither the soul nor the body of a saint can withstand this kind of infinitely compressed magic, any saint who tries to make the magic qualitative change will not be able to escape the end of the disintegration of the physical body and the shattering of the soul."
Speaking of this, the crystal dragon paused and sighed, "That's how my magic teacher passed away. ”
Yi Shu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then reacted: "You are also a member of this mysterious magic association?" ”
"That's right." Crystal Dragon Tyxon nodded, "To be precise, this magical association is called the Hand of Dawn, and its purpose is to master the dawn after Ragnarok and find other ways to become gods besides igniting the divine fire." ”
"In order to achieve this goal, they need the strongest magical genius in the world, so they set the extremely famous joining condition on the continent - magical talent, no matter what race you are, good or evil, as long as the magical talent meets the standard, you can join this organization."
"When I left Dragon Island, I was curious to try it, and as a result, I joined the Hand of Dawn and became an apprentice of a peak sage, and the book "The Road to Godhood" in your hand is actually the masterpiece of my teacher and the other three peak sages of the Hand of Dawn."
"It's a pity that three of these four talented peak saints died at the beginning of the qualitative transformation of magical power, and the only sage who barely completed the qualitative transformation of magical power was also scattered after just ten seconds, but before the soul was scattered, this sage crossed two levels and showed a power beyond the demigod level."
"Because of this, the Hand of Dawn was convinced that this path was the right one, so they published this book and passed it on to every magical genius they thought was qualified to become a god, hoping that they would have the opportunity to become the god of dawn after dusk after being promoted to the demigod level in the future......"
Yi Shu nodded and said clearly: "You are also one of them?" ”
Crystal Dragon Tyxon said: "Yes, but I'm pessimistic about it. ”
Yi Shu wondered: "Why?" ”
Crystal Dragon Tyxon sighed: "Because I watched the breakthrough of the four saints throughout the whole process, and I have seen the super magic power after the qualitative transformation, it is not at all the power that a mere demigod-level powerhouse can withstand, even Rodrigo can't jump the end of the collapse of the body and the soul is scattered." ”
When I heard this, art realized something.
"The Hand of Dawn doesn't have a demigod-level powerhouse?"
"Hehe......"
Crystal Dragon Tyxon laughed when he heard this, and explained: "What is a demigod-level powerhouse, a demigod-level powerhouse is actually a peak saint, but the bloodline is special, and he can show some of the characteristics of a god without becoming a god, and such legendary creatures are extremely rare in the entire continent." ”
"A demigod-level powerhouse like the Elf Empress, just relying on an artifact to have demigod-level combat power, cannot be regarded as a real demigod-level powerhouse, according to this standard, the demigod-level powerhouse in the entire world will not exceed one hand, and this is still counting those old antiques who don't know where to live in seclusion on the mainland."
"If you say demigod-level combat power, then the Hand of Dawn must be there, but they really don't have demigod-level powerhouses, even if it is my dragon clan, there is only the golden dragon king Rodrigo, a demigod-level powerhouse, because of this, the magic geniuses who got this road to godhood back then, including me, are all legendary creatures with special bloodlines."
"Now, tens of thousands of years have passed since my time, and I don't know if any of the magical geniuses who have obtained the path to godhood have become demigod-level powerhouses, but I am sure that in the past ten thousand years, absolutely no creature has successfully embarked on this path to godhood."
Speaking of this, Crystal Dragon Tyxon's tone was categorical and extremely confident.
Obviously, he should have some way of judging whether there are gods born in this world.
Yi Shu looked at the book in his hand thoughtfully, and suddenly noticed that Tyxon's gaze was a little strange, so he raised his head and looked at the crystal clear dragon face suspiciously.
"What, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing." Crystal Dragon Tyxon sneered, and cautiously tentatively said, "It's just that I have a very interesting magic in my hand, I don't know if it will have an effect on a visitor from another world like you......"
“……”
The corners of Yi Shu's eyes twitched, and he instantly understood what the other party meant.
This old guy wants to do a magic experiment with himself!
Yi Shu thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "What magic?" Are there any dangers? ”
Crystal Dragon Tyxon thought that Yi Shu had some intentions, and hurriedly surprised: "There is no danger, no danger!" It's just an ordinary [Bloodline Detection] magic! ”
