Uplifting Journey

The Ancient Scroll of Knowledge was originally an artifact of wisdom created by Oghma using himself as a template, and its ability to identify and judge through various divine arts and details is no worse than Oghma himself.

Since the ancient scroll of knowledge believes that the red dragon that entered the tower has reached the standard of awakening the god itself, Oghma, who was awakened from a deep sleep, naturally knows the general situation of the red dragon.

The biggest difference between the god of gods and the supreme god lies in the angle of observing the world and the concepts of various aspects, because once in a certain crystal wall system, he came into contact with the god of gods who defeated the gods with one thought "Ao", Oghma has a great understanding of Cognition and judgment in this regard are still a bit of experience.

After being awakened, he obtained a lot of information from the ancient scrolls of knowledge, and with the help of the priesthood, he looked at the side of the red dragon observed by other beings in the long river of fate. A god of gods who came from a strange world.

Facing this kind of existence whose power exceeds one dimension and can erase itself from the long river of time with just one thought, Oghma's attitude in speech becomes cautious.

Even if this unknown being who bears the name of the demigod Red Dragon Kasa clearly stated that he wanted to cut a part of his knowledge priesthood and use it, Oghma did not have any emotions such as offended anger——

He didn't want to touch the fate of the God of God for a mere incarnation with weak divine power and a slim chance of reaching the summit.

After all, although he seems to be independent, in fact his mind has been strictly restricted by the main body of the supreme god who maintains an anchor. There is no such thing as an independent survival consciousness.

Since the Red Dragon Kasa intends to collect all the godheads of this crystal wall system to obtain the position of supreme god, and there is no such thing as a weak god Oghma who has no foundation here, even if he gives up the incarnation here, he won't feel so bad——

The ones who should have a headache are those guys with peak divine power who know some secrets, including the dragon god Aiou who has always kept an account in his heart.

However, even if the existence of the incarnation can be given up, there are some things that Oghma still intends to fight for - because like many gods, he strives to maintain the original body before he first became a god in terms of cognition, concept and emotion. appearance.

Oghma still has a lot of things he cares about, like the rare petitioners in his divine kingdom who were promoted and converted from pious believers with good compatibility, as well as the bishops, priests and other subordinates in the mortal church.

During the sleep of the main body, Oghma also often differentiated into non-combat avatars, walking and traveling in various planes in the form of an ordinary bard, maintaining the normal operation of the mind with this close to the original appearance.

This habit formed in order to maintain the heart and avoid being eroded by the priesthood to become a puppet reversely controlled by the priesthood, many gods have it, just like Morrigan who stayed in the dwarven city and got drunk .

During these travels, there were quite a few people who became attached to Oghma and were eventually drawn to the Church of Knowledge by him. Unless the situation was overwhelming, he had to consider the future of these people who were still alive.

But this kind of thing has to be a little more tactful.

After packing all the knowledge he had accumulated about the crystal wall system and sending it to the Red Dragon Casa through the artifact ancient scroll, Oghma observed the silver-haired elf who was reading and analyzing the information in front of him. After thinking at high speed for a while, he tried He asked, "I don't know what you think of believers?

"Although the most difficult part of a god's promotion is the godhead level, the divine power support provided by the core belief is also essential."

Cheng Bin immersed himself in analyzing the big gift package sent by the God of Knowledge, and while translating it into data in his local knowledge system, he said casually: "Didn't we discuss the issue of priesthood before, can't the priesthood be directly matched from Do you gain certain divine power from material changes?"

"Divine power comes from the human heart, and some divine power feedback is just because my priesthood is closer to the human heart." Oghma shook his head and said, "The god of belief is not the god of rule runes. After all, they are believers.

"Moreover, devout believers, especially those at the level of the Holy Spirit, who perfectly match the thoughts and paths of the gods, are very important belief support and anchor connections for the gods who are separated from the material world, not general believers, superficial believers It can be replaced by quantity."

Ogma paused, seeing the red vertical pupils of the silver-haired elf focused and turned around, he stretched out his finger in the dark void with his right hand, which was not holding the piano, and displayed a three-dimensional picture.

Cheng Bin, who paid a little attention, saw the scene where his followers were at the place pointed by Oghma——

In an academic hall full of mages, Ivy, who seemed to have jumped onto the stage by himself, was slapping the table while loudly refuting the magic theory of a certain magic net mage opposite. A face of embarrassment gathered.

—Is this some kind of academic debate venue? Ivy and Lacey seem to be having a good time.

Cheng Bin, who didn't care about these trivial matters, blinked, and turned his gaze back to Oghma who made this scene on purpose.

It was also at this time that Oghma saw clearly the life essence of the only two disciples of the Red Dragon Casa through careful observation. He originally wanted to say something, but his throat got stuck in his throat when he found out.

— Mutated elves. Red dragon blood and slime? The nature of life of the only two believers is so strange, do you have any special criteria for accepting believers?

Oghma coughed dryly and tried to turn his attention back to his purpose. He said to the silver-haired elf who was looking at him: "It can be seen that these two believers are quite devout. After you became a god, you have been promoted to the Holy Spirit. hope.

"Believers of the Holy Spirit level are the closest existence to the gods. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as eternal companions or another self. Their spirit must have a deep resonance with you.

"As a god, it is very important to respond to the believers who worship you. I don't know what your purpose of becoming a god is, but you'd better not let your believers down, otherwise the road to promotion will be full of obstacles—the truth of mortals. The spirit is always like the foundation, supporting the existence of the belief in the gods."

Next to the picture of Avi Lacey, Oghma unfolded more pictures of the believers of the God of Knowledge, and explained some key issues in the operation of the faith for Cheng Bin in detail.

After listening to the information that was not included in the objective knowledge package, Cheng Bin nodded thoughtfully—he probably guessed the potential intention of Oghma's words, but he didn't find out.

"I want to be the supreme god just to get permission to touch something." Cheng Bin, who has compiled a huge amount of knowledge, glanced at Oghma, "I don't need to rely on believers to help stabilize my mind, anchor and reality The connection, as long as the divine power is enough to be promoted

"As for the requirements for godhood, we can start with the devil. I already have the basic godhead for becoming a god. Other issues. There are only some details derived from the priesthood. I have to wait until I become a god to discuss it with the God of Magic. "

Oghma, who knew that he didn't have to offer his godhood on the spot, was relieved. Instead of asking about the magic lady Mystra, he asked curiously, "What can you touch with the help of the supreme god?"

But before the red dragon could answer, Oghma guessed the answer by himself after a little recollection: "Is it the twig of the world tree in the legend of the elves in the plane you were in when you first came here? "

".You can see that thing?" Cheng Bin, who knows the potential of the priesthood of knowledge, is not surprised that Oghma can perceive this. After all, the twig of the world tree, as a legend and knowledge of the elves, will definitely be recognized by Oghma. Mar's priesthood read from some elves.

In the gift package of knowledge just received, there are actually many similar legendary records.

"No," Oghma shook his head, "Although I haven't specifically verified this legend, I have focused on observing the plane of the elves because of you before. Even with the vision of a god, I can't find the world tree. There is something on that altar in the temple."

"But it seems that you don't think this legend is false." Cheng Bin said thoughtfully.

"The legend of the world tree exists in many crystal wall systems," Oghma said with a smile, "and most of these legends are related to elves and gods, although in terms of physiological structure, other crystal wall systems There are some differences between elves and the elves of that plane.

"In some crystal wall systems, intelligent life directly refers to the crystal wall system as the world tree, and the gods are considered to be the fruits of the world tree. The scope is so wide that it even surpasses the legend of the crystal wall system. It will not be groundless.

"However, even the Supreme God has not come into contact with the World Tree instance."

"It's okay," Cheng Bin said with a smile, "I don't really want to get the twigs of the World Tree, I just want to obtain some information from it in a special way that is not so rude and in line with the rules. As long as the level in the god system keeps improving , Dig deep into the fundamental mysteries of the world, there is always a chance to touch it."

After a pause, Cheng Bin said again: "After my goal is achieved, the Supreme God will not be so important to me, and many things can be discussed at that time."

A demigod talked indifferently about the acquisition and relinquishing of the supreme god position. Who would believe you if you were not the god of gods? Oghma nodded hesitantly.

Under a certain magic tower, Ivy and Lacey appeared in a distorted and fluctuating time and space. They rushed two steps in a slightly embarrassed posture before stopping, then turned their heads and looked at each other.

"Do you think we were kicked out?" In the eyes of the people around who were attracted by the beautiful scenery, Lacey raised his hands and pinched Slime's cheeks and pulled them to both sides, "You will die if you restrain yourself a little bit." ?”

Ivy, whose cheeks were elongated to a strange appearance, said vaguely in pain: "Aren't academic debates like this? Magic knowledge is very rigorous. I think there are even magic net special runes and general runes. The indistinct beard is talking nonsense, how can I bear it."

"Then you can just follow the rules and ask questions, and just ignore the rules of the venue and rush up to pat the table, what are you going to do?" Lacey complained, kneading Ivy's face desperately.

"Hmm," Ivy, whose face was deformed so much that the onlookers were frightened, murmured in a low voice, "It may be the residual effect of the body change. After all, the original divine slime was contracted by chaotic demons."

"Finding such an excuse in front of the legendary soul mage?" Lacey glanced at the magic tower behind which the protection was activated to isolate the entrance and exit, and dragged Ivy forward and said, "Can I still not see it? You are purely It's been too long in my body."

Ivy, who was wrapped around his head by Lacey's arm, struggled for a while, and then looked at the blind spot of the people around him, directly restored his head to the slime prototype, and slipped away from Lacey's hand to reunite and get rid of the confinement.

Lacey, who was taken aback, looked around guiltily, and was relieved to find that no one had noticed Ai Wei's momentary movement just now——Slime is a serious monster, no matter how neutral the city of knowledge is, except the mage It is also difficult to see monsters outside the laboratory.

But just when Lacey turned her head to catch Ivy and complained, she found that Ivy had been held down by the silver-haired elf who didn't know when to appear.

The eyes that were turned from time to time due to the elf's charisma all turned back the moment the silver-haired elf appeared, and all pedestrians passively ignored the elf trio at the corner of the street.

Cheng Bin patted Mrs. Slime's head with a strange texture, Oghma's discussion about believers flashed in his heart, and then smiled at Lacey who came over: "Have you played enough? You have other things to do?" what to do?"

Although Lacey Ivy was very curious about all kinds of things on the main plane, they also clearly prioritized them, so they all shook their heads and said that there was nothing to do.

Cheng Bin nodded, and then said directly: "If you don't have one, get ready, we're going to hold a ceremony to become a god."

Lacey Ivy followed subconsciously, and then froze for a moment-is this going to become a god? There is no sign or atmosphere at all.

Cheng Bin didn't think it was a special thing to be a god. He put his hand on Lacey's shoulder with a strange expression, and disappeared from the spot with two believers in one teleportation.

Soon, outside the material world, at the level where the real name of the soul core is located, an invisible tremor instantly spread throughout the entire void.

——Which bold guy is holding a god ceremony? He didn't make any announcement in advance that he didn't have a reputation and deeds approved by the gods. It's not that easy to become a god.

The gods of the Kingdom of God in the void easily sensed this familiar sign of becoming a god, and some of the gods who were interested turned their attention to the source of the tremor.

At the same time, some special beings parasitic in the void, and some beings who are always peeking at the main plane and even the kingdom of gods, also turned their malicious eyes to the past.
