Chapter 114: Destiny is revealed! The first team!
godhead.
As the name suggests, it is the person of God.
Divinity, godhead, and priesthood, the trinity, constitute the basic law of belief in gods.
Lady Hecate talked about so much in her dream.
Xiao En couldn't understand some of it at all, so he could only force himself to memorize it first, and then slowly think about it and comprehend it later. Because he had a trace of divinity from the natural realm, Ms. Hecate also told him some knowledge about the gods.
To some extent, Xiao En is a quasi-'god-ascender' and has the basic conditions to transform into a divine creature template.
"Although there is a trace of divine power in you."
"But you haven't digested it, because the completely digested divine power will give you a law for the corresponding field."
"Obviously, you currently have no knowledge of the laws of the [Natural] realm."
Ms. Hecate stared at Xiao En in front of her, and before her figure disappeared, she whispered: "I can't give you too much guidance on how to digest the divinity of the natural side."
“You can try to do something that complies with the laws of nature.”
Xiao En did not digest the divine power given by the fairy in the lake, because he did not have any natural laws. Theoretically, he would get a chance to visit the "natural" realm because of his divinity. If he wanted to master a field that was not related to his own ability, the best way was to seize the divinity of others.
The priesthood has a certain uniqueness, but the domain can have many.
As a transcendent who is proficient in both arcane and psychic arts, Sean can also master the laws of the natural realm, but this is not highly related to his primary field of "knowledge" and cannot serve as his core field.
Lady Hecate has already begun to act.
Although there are many death-related priesthoods, only a handful of people can truly master them. Moreover, once someone has mastered the corresponding priesthood, others who want to become gods must replace him. Therefore, in many crystal wall universe gods, the promotion threshold for latecomers will be suppressed.
Even the three gods of death have different core duties: Bane, the god of strife; Melkor, the god of the dead; and Baal, the god of murder.
The core duties of these three gods of death are all different concepts related to death. Once others have mastered the corresponding duties, they can only condense new areas of duties from the related concepts. If there are no higher-level concepts of the same level, they can only look for opportunities in lower-level concepts.
Xiao En slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up and spread out his magic notebook. His invisible hand controlled the pen to write secret words, recording new content: "It is precisely because of the uniqueness of the priesthood that extraordinary people with the same or similar paths are each other's competitors!"
"Similarly, if someone has mastered the lower-level concepts of the corresponding priesthood, it will be difficult for others to concentrate on the most core priesthood field, because the missing part of the law has been taken away by someone else."
"This will cause them to kill each other!"
Taking the natural priesthood as an example, if a person becomes the god of animals, then only a god of plants can be born. Otherwise, the other party can only be killed, the essence of the other party's laws can be seized, and the origin of the laws of animals and plants can be combined.
Of course, if you have a cross-era vision and strength, you can also try to condense the conceptual laws of "microorganisms".
The more dispersed the priesthood is, the more subordinate concepts will be born, and the weaker the power will be.
The animal priesthood may give birth to a god of medium power, but if it is further subdivided, only a bunch of weak gods and demigods will appear.
"The teacher is going to start competing head-on with the other demigods of death!"
If Lady Hecate wants to be deified, it is not enough to have divinity and godhood. She must also condense the corresponding world laws and master the core priesthood of the concept of death.
"A priesthood that wants to condense the concept of [Death]."
"There are only two ways. One is to kill the Old One on the Death Side and seize His original law. However, there is no such Old One in the Weird Kingdom at present. The unique Old One was killed by the nameless people."
However, because there was no deity to carry the law of death, the last destinies of mankind had to share death, and eventually many demigods of death were born.
"Then there is only the second method, which is to re-condense the scattered lower-level death concepts, gather them together, and forge a new [Death]-side priesthood."
Undead creatures, the underworld, liches, tombs, etc., those scattered lower-level death concepts must be taken back one by one.
And now they are in the hands of other demigods of the Path of Death.
"In the end, a fight between the two sides is inevitable!"
Xiao En was very calm at the moment. After accepting the cruel reality, he was not surprised by this. He murmured, "If you want to fight against foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the country. The path of human death has become a mess. No matter how many demigods there are, they are useless. They have no ability to fight against the powerful pillars of the old times."
This means that a civil war will begin in the real world, but it is unknown to what extent it will end.
"The teacher should transform the divine law first, and then take action against other demigods of death."
"I hope some people will voluntarily give up their priesthood on the death side."
"I remember that a powerful main god can have other subordinate gods and follower gods."
Someone has to make sacrifices.
But times have changed. Among the current demigods of death, who is willing to give up voluntarily?
Even Sean has his own selfish desires. If a god of death is really to be born, he would definitely hope that person is his teacher, Ms. Hecate.
"Amon wants to disrupt the existing order."
"Lady Hecate is plotting to ascend to godhood."
"Although the ultimate goal is to save the Weird Kingdom, they also have their own way of doing things. Such a powerful existence is impossible to change its mind because of outsiders. A turbulent era is about to come."
“I have to prepare in advance!”
Sean tried to deduce the future he could foresee. He had his own ideas, which were different from Amon and Lady Hecate.
The dawn is breaking.
Xiao En turned around and made himself a cup of black tea, then continued recording.
"I also have my own views on the understanding of deification."
"In the past, there was a standard for saints in the East, which consisted of three elements: establishing virtue, establishing words, and establishing merit."
"Because the laws of the world are different, they cannot be completely applied. However, establishing virtue should be the ultimate in some kind of thought and behavior. Both good and evil are possible. Neutrality is also feasible because there are many evil gods who also master powerful original laws."
"Human nature has two sides, good and evil, and both can lead to the path to godhood."
Xiao En paused for a moment, lost in thought.
After a long time.
He continued to record his insights.
“To speak out is to spread one’s own ideas.”
"In this world, the corresponding doctrine is the teachings of the gods. Each god's church will have corresponding doctrines and ideas. The doctrines also affect the actions of believers and indirectly interfere with the entire world."
"To achieve merit, one should use one's own power to change the world."
"Becoming better or worse, both represent a direction for the future. Different races have different views on what is good and what is bad."
"The changes in the weird kingdom are bad for humans, but good for evil creatures."
"Regarding the point of meritorious service, I believe that this is the source of the 'Path of Destiny', because the Path of Destiny requires one to use one's own abilities to interfere with the course of the world and to change the world according to one's own ideas."
"It is precisely because of this that the legendary Destiny of all generations are the peerless geniuses of mankind!"
Xiao En fell into deep thought again.
This time he pondered longer, seemingly thinking about his future.
“It’s hard for me to make a living.”
"I am a kind person, but not a saint. I cannot hold myself to a very high moral standard. I have a flexible moral bottom line."
"When I see delicious food, I want to eat it. When I see beautiful women, my heart is moved."
"The succubus makes my desires stir."
"However, I can use strict self-discipline to demand myself. What I pursue should not be personal virtues, but something more noble."
"For example - give this crazy world a little favor."
Sean.
He wants to give a little favor to the weird kingdom, which comes from the earth far away in the universe. He will fight for himself and for mankind!
No reason is needed.
"Li Yan, I don't have the corresponding ability."
"But I inherited the legacy from Earth in my previous life. That is to say, I can represent the sages of all generations of mankind and complete this part of establishing a statement."
"There are too many ideas from previous lives that can exist as doctrines."
“This is the easiest thing for me.”
"As long as I can work hard to put it into practice, it won't be difficult for me to accomplish this part of establishing my words."
Sean paused.
"Making meritorious service."
“This is the path of destiny that I am taking, to change everything with practical actions.”
"There is no need to say more. I will continue to move forward step by step."
At last.
Xiao En wrote down his final thoughts.
"Other people in this world focus too much on the power of divinity, godhood, and priesthood. For me, the Trinity that really suits me is not to be obsessed with these powers, but what I can do with them."
Establishing virtue condenses divinity, establishing words gathers godhead, and establishing merit equips one with the divine office.
This is the destiny path that Xiao En chose for himself.
"To achieve all this, I can be kind or evil. Personal morality is not important. The most important thing is that the human race can continue."
Embrace the darkness, but don't be assimilated by it.
At this moment, Xiao En chose to give up the camp of good and evil. He is not a good person, nor a bad person. He is just an ordinary person who is trying hard to overcome all obstacles and move forward.
There is no turning back for the extraordinary.
Xiao En completed his ideological program of action and he knew what he should do next.
………………
Infernal Fire Corner.
The charming figure of the succubus Veronica stood at the door, and in the corner was Akdina Duer, who was hiding in the shadows. During this period, thanks to Sean's funding, she had completed her own promotion ceremony, but because of the pollution, her state was still unstable. When hiding in the shadows, her shadow would talk to herself from time to time.
However, Sean has performed a mind cleansing (mind strengthening) on her, reducing the pollution of Akdina to the warning line. If it were not for the mind cleansing, it would be difficult to make such a powerful wanderer work with soul stones alone.
"Master Xiao En."
The succubus bowed her head slightly and leaned forward respectfully, saying, "The slave you requested has been delivered."
There is a secret cellar room under the Hellfire Corner. The walls are covered with bloodstains. Xiao En didn't want to ask what happened here in the past. He ignored the minced meat in the corner and walked directly to a huge iron cage.
——Mimicry.
The arena in Abyss City often captures monsters for fun. To some extent, Abyss City has inherited some Roman characteristics, because maintaining the stability of the city requires a little fun. A bloodthirsty and exciting life-and-death fight can make the people feel happy and relaxed, and vent their repressed emotions.
Like the Roman Empire, the City of Abyss uses bloody gladiatorial combat to maintain happiness and stability.
This is a mimic with scars all over its body.
Adventurers captured it and sold it to the arena, waiting for the next performance, where it was slaughtered by the gladiators, or slaughtered a group of gladiators.
Gladiators have a good status in Abyss City.
——Mind control (5th level psychic power)!
Sean was wearing a black wizard robe inlaid with gold runes. He seemed slightly different from before. He gently raised a finger, and his will instantly invaded the monster's brain.
He suppressed the monster's mind, enslaved its heart, and controlled its body.
"Implant a thought imprint!"
A glimmer of psychic energy emerged in Sean's deep eyes. He planted a mental suggestion in the monster, using his own will to enslave its crazy mind.
The power of psionic magic twisted its mind.
The abominable mimic trembled all over, then it slowly knelt on the ground, humbly lowered its head to Xiao En and said, "Master!"
Enslavement successful.
Although it has not yet formed a mental imprint, Xiao En has already planted the seed of his mind deep in its heart that he is its master. Mind control can last for one day per spell level. Xiao En currently casts a spell once and can enslave it for fifteen days.
If no further mind control spells are cast, the mental stamp of Sean being the mimic's master will automatically solidify after Sean has enslaved it for 100 days.
In the shadows, Akdina looked at everything in front of her with awe and even a little fear.
She had received Xiao En's mental enhancement, so she knew what Xiao En could do. In her opinion, this was a power that only the ancient evil creatures and the old days could possess. Because according to rumors, there were extraordinary people who encountered ancient evil creatures, whose minds were directly twisted, and they served the ancient evil creatures as their masters, and turned into hateful cultists.
As for the succubus Veronica standing beside her, her eyes were full of admiration and eagerness. The succubus's thinking was different from others. What she saw was a rising star in the future.
The succubus path originally relied on the ability of charm to enslave and dominate other creatures.
In Xiao En, she saw hope for the path of destiny!
Although the contract has not been formally signed, this succubus is already considered one of Sean's followers.
"Find other Mimics!"
"I need more information about the monsters, and it would be best if we could find the underground city where the monsters are entrenched."
Xiao En gave the order expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in his deep eyes. He said in a deep voice: "I need more servants and slaves."
"Time won't wait for me, I must take the initiative to seize the opportunity!"
——The slave-Xiao En!
This is the power that the psychic who caused chaos in Dorne had always dreamed of. But for Sean, who has embarked on the road to destiny, all this is just a starting point.
He needs to know the limits of his thought stamp!
After completely letting go of moral constraints, the power Sean now possesses is no weaker than the authority wielded by some ancient evil creatures.
He is now an ancient evil creature in human form, but he has not yet completed the path of destiny.
Xiao En embraced the dark side and prepared to use thundering means to build his first team.
Eamon was right.
We are all poor creatures and don't need to worry too much.
At this moment, Xiao En transformed into a slave of darkness and began to practice his destiny for the first time!
The only warning he could give himself was 'Don't lose yourself in the darkness'.
In the underground prison.
Succubus Veronica trembled slightly with excitement. She bowed her head respectfully and said, "Yes, Master."
She was not imprinted with ideas, but she made her own choices.
She chose to follow destiny!
In Xiao En, she saw her own destiny.
