Chapter 619: Uncontrollable Weakening Is Wrong
"The kid's name is Megan," Siegel looked up at Janet and put on a smile, "If you don't object." ”
"Megan is fine. Janet reached out and tugged at Siegel's cheek, naughty like a child: "In other words, you have become a god?
"For the time being. Maybe in the future I'll have my eyes on fire, a holy glow all over me, or wings formed by the elements behind my back. Well, I'm kidding, it really hasn't changed on the outside, but it's changed a lot on the inside. In short, Heim is safe and can live in peace in the future. ”
"That is, you don't have to listen to the prayers of believers and answer their requests?" said Janet.
Siegel pointed to his head and tapped his finger on it, "Actually, I can hear it anytime and anywhere, but I just don't pay attention to it." As long as the magic is working properly, isn't it okay if there was no temple of magic gods before?"
"Actually, you can build a temple and get some priests to do the work for you, and mages can do it. Janet said, "During the time you left, the Mage Guild and the Star Kingdom really came with a lot of orders that could not be refused, and the entire territory was busy. It's a good thing you left behind the Maker Golem and the Astral, otherwise the flaws would have been exposed. Speaking of which, Starso shut himself down, as did all the Myrcanon Cores. Did you make this up?"
Siegel nodded, then closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again and said to Janet, "It's back to normal." ”
In fact, it is not only about returning to normal, but also about eliminating hidden dangers. Siegel already knew about Colony Ball's plans before leaving. Requires a large number of Myr's cores and space teleportation arrays. The latter can be left to the Federation. But the core of the former's elements can only be done by oneself. In order to hide the truth that he is not in Heim Territory. He had the Golem Maker use Magic Crystal as a material to create a pseudo-elemental aggregate. Such a material can make the Mir Nucleus work, but it will only last for a period of about ten years, and it will eventually turn into a brilliant elemental surge.
In fact, even his own elemental aggregate was not perfect, and it only had a lifespan of fifty years at most. The only good thing is that there will be no explosions and surges, it will only slowly go out. Possessing the powers of magic, knowledge, and prophecy, Siegel quickly improved the Elemental Aggregate Core, making it safer and reproducible.
To be a god is to have God's rules. Although Siegel felt that building the temple was troublesome. But he still needs the faith of the believers to sustain the divine fire. This has replaced his thirst for food and is intimately linked to God's identity. Through the Myr Core, through the Magic Crystal, Siegel knew that he could gather many beneficiaries more than just provide healing or something. These people will be more efficient than any other temple that will closely integrate magic into their own lives, and will therefore rely on the concept of magic.
"As for the bastard," Siegel thought it would be better to say it directly, "I told his mother before, and she refused my help. If it's not an emergency such as a distress call, you usually don't need to pay attention to them. ”
"Are you taking care of my feelings?" asked Janet.
Siegel nodded. There's nothing to hide. "It's not something I want it to happen, and there's no perfect solution. Just like life, you can only strive for better, and there is never the best. Maybe a few hundred years from now, I'm still alive, but at that time, it's impossible to experience life even if I want to. ”
"Aren't you going to give us eternal life? What a stingy god. Janet deliberately changed the subject and crossed over the illegitimate child matter. Regardless, Siegel has become a god of magic, and letting him dwell on these trivial matters will only backfire and cause chaos. Is there any good in having to quarrel with God, or make a big fuss?
"Through cloning, you're close to eternal youth, and you don't need me to use my powers. Siegel pointed to himself and said, "I'm worried about myself." The divine power will continue to erode me, making me lose my mortality, become like a lich, and lose the joy of life again. In fact, all gods are like this, slowly detaching themselves from this world and becoming puppets in their own kingdom. The Divine Fire repeats itself, constantly looking for new victims. Of course, from another point of view, what Shenhuo is looking for is also some kind of soul with a sacrificial spirit, and will eventually sacrifice itself. ”
Janet blinked, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't you think it's strange? Why is there such a mechanism where the gods are constantly weakening, does the divine fire and the priesthood have to be like this?"
"It's nothing to do with getting weaker...... Siegel said mid-sentence, and his thoughts suddenly opened. When Shenzhi becomes a puppet, it is actually the time when Shenhuo is at its weakest. The new magic god will only inherit the knowledge of the previous one, but this knowledge is accumulated over time and has nothing to do with the pattern of divine fire. This is obviously very inefficient, and it is only a path of decay.
Race gods were able to hold out a little longer than concept gods, perhaps because they were closer to the lives of mortals of their own race. Why demons and demons do not have gods, at most they only produce god-like powerhouses, may also be for the same reason. The gods have placed their own essence in the kingdom of God in the outer plane, far away from the world of the main material crystal wall. In the Outlands, the dimensional tendencies alone will wear away many human natures, not to mention the dual influence of divine fire.
If you think about it the other way around, what if this is a mechanism to force progress? God needs believers to strengthen himself, to go to believers, to live the same life as them, to know their needs and ideas, so that he can constantly adjust and adapt to new situations, and continue to strengthen himself. The limitations of the crystal wall ensure that the god does not use his own power to forcibly reverse the rules, and is able to be more of an observer and experiencer.
Such a "mortal" life would give back some kind of gift to the gods, perhaps slowing them down by the fire of the gods. In this way, the reason for dissipating "vitality" is to allow the gods to collect or produce more "vitality", and this logic can also be explained. Perhaps, this is the truth, something that God will keep secret.
Siegel kisses Janet deeply, thanking her for the spark of wisdom. Liele eventually becomes insatiable and "falls" faster than the other gods, perhaps due to the fact that he does not have a temple. After becoming Liel, he regained his humanity, which shows that it is still useful to experience life.
"In order to be a person for a longer time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be busy. "Siegel decided to push his own Magic Crystal project, and he wanted to do it himself. The affairs of the territory must also continue to be secured, at least until Isaac comes of age, and this will continue to be his responsibility. If this kind of behavior can effectively reduce the invasion of the divine fire on the soul, Siegel will continue to do it and make it the norm.
"At least this time it's not about hiding from danger, it's about a better life. Janet said with a smile. She only felt that her dream had finally come true. A knight, a lord, an archmage, and now a god, and love. It doesn't get any safer and warmer home than this. Even if people always have the bad nature of greed, Janet knows that she will only be greedy for how to make her children better and happier in the future, without worrying about safety.
The two of them sat quietly, letting time flow slowly, enjoying this most precious happiness. Who is rich enough to have time to put aside all worries and troubles, and truly enjoy tranquility? This is a luxury that even gods can hardly possess, and Siegel has only experienced it for a moment.
He stood up and saw the future through the barrier of time and space. "There's a guest here, it's the Sage of the Elves, who came from the Elven Forest, and Master Leah is traveling with him. He said to Janet, "Arrange a place for Master Leah, she can't go back to the Elven Forest." ”
"What about the Elven Sage?" asked Janet.
"He's not going to stay. Siegel's tone was a little cold, which made Janet worry again.
In fact, it was not just the Elven Sage and Leah who came to Heim, but an entire diplomatic corps. Including the two major mages of the Art Academy and the three priests of the Moon Temple, the important departments of the Elven Forest to manage internal and external affairs have sent personnel. They pulled the gifts in unicorn carts and came to Heim in the name of giving gifts. They were all foils for the Elven Sage, and Siegel knew it at a glance.
With the Sage of the Elven Race God by their side, can they take the initiative to say something? Maybe the mages of the Art Academy will have different thoughts from the Elven Sage, but they will only say it after the Sage leaves. So Siegel only told Janet about the Elven Sage and Master Leah.
Janet thought that the elves were approaching the confines of Myr City, and was ready to reprimand the patrolling cavalry and the agents of the Heim Territory, but in the end, she got the news that the elves had just set off, and the leading messengers had not yet crossed the Hub Fort and were still some distance away from the Heim Territory. On the one hand, he sighed at the strength of the god's husband, and on the other hand, he also calmed down and prepared for the reception work in an orderly manner. Judging by Siegel's tone, there was no need for enthusiasm for these elves.
Siegel looked confident and not in a hurry at all. He spends a lot of time caring about Isaac's education every day, and the rest of the time he spends the rest of his time dealing with Heim Territory, and he doesn't even open the door to the laboratory for days. When asked why, Siegel simply pointed to his head and smiled mysteriously. More than 10,000 clones of him were still trying to absorb the knowledge in the magic tower, and for a long time he simply didn't have the energy to learn anything more.
The ranks of the elves were guarded by a hundred rangers, and the banners of the moon tree fluttered in the wind and hunted. As we approached Myr, the wind was still there, but the flag was hanging down like wilting vegetables. The Elven Sage understands that this is the territory of the Magic God, and if the other forces don't want to make trouble, they will definitely die down. So he asked the Elven Ranger to put away the flags, horns, and other things, and Siegel wouldn't allow them to work anyway.
Eventually, all the guards and advisors stopped in the outer city and settled in the inn. The Elven Sage only led Leah to the castle, and even the gift boxes were carried by floating saucers with enhanced carrying capacity. He deliberately chose a time when there was a market outside the castle, so that more people would see the kindness he brought. Siegel scoffed and watched him act there. (To be continued.) )
