Chapter 497 Gaia World's [Position] and [Power]
The Land of Elves,
Li Si looked at Adela in astonishment. At that moment, he thought he had heard wrongly.
Ascend the throne and become a god?
Is this what a believer who serves gods should say?
For many believers, the status of gods is supreme. To want to become gods and stand at the same height as their gods is a blasphemy to gods for devout believers.
But why would this great elven sage say this?
Li Si's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
However, Adela didn't seem to be in a hurry. She stood beside Li Si and stared at the statues of the elves in front of her quietly, as if waiting for Li Si's answer.
"Of course I want to!"
After a moment of silence, Li Si whispered to Adela.
"But you should be able to see that I am already an arcane master."
As a legendary wizard standing at the same height as Teacher Stephens, Adela in front of him could easily see his identity as an arcane master.
However, because Adela's breath hiding skills are far better than Li Si's, Li Si naturally has no way to distinguish Adela's breath, and does not know whether this big man's profession is an arcane master.
But in any case, Adela should be clear that any arcane master who wants to continue on this path, as Teacher Stephens said, the ultimate goal is to analyze and master the cornerstone rules of the world, and at the same time change or create new rules.
And if you become a god, you will undoubtedly have to give up this path of mastering the rules of the world.
Teacher Stephens once said to Li Si that the power of the gods comes from the faith of the believers, but from a deeper level, it is actually to abide by the rules of the Gaia world.
Only by obeying the rules of the Gaia world can they master the corresponding priesthood.
The so-called priesthood, in fact, corresponds to a specific world rule of the Gaia world, and masters the power in the field corresponding to this world rule.
In Li Si's view, this is equivalent to all gods being employees of the Gaia world, and they strive to master different positions in a company called [Gaia World].
Different positions represent different [powers], some are strong and some are weak.
Only by mastering the corresponding [position] and possessing the corresponding [power] can they have a higher voice in the [Gaia World] company.
It is for this reason that for the gods, mastering the [divine field] is the most important thing and the source of their great strength.
But the arcanists are different. They are equivalent to a part of living in the [Gaia World].
The goal of the arcanists is to understand the reasons for the formation of different [positions] in the [Gaia World], understand the mysteries contained therein, and try to transcend the [position] to master the corresponding [power].
Because different [positions] have different requirements for the controllers of [positions].
For example, when to go to work and what to do when going to work.
The gods who master this [position] can only adapt to the requirements of this [position] in order to get closer to and control this [position] better.
Just like the gods who master the [light] and [hope] priesthoods, He needs to drive away the darkness and bring light and hope to the believers.
As for the gods who have the priesthood of [War] and [Killing], they need to constantly start wars in the Gaia world to lead the emergence of war and chaos.
Only in this way can they stabilize their [priesthood].
In comparison, the arcanists are more like relying on their own knowledge and wisdom to master the [power] represented by the [position], without being restricted by the requirements of this [profession].
But after saying so much, this is only a distant expectation of the arcanists.
Starting from the magic empires represented by Netheril, the arcanists have been constantly exploring this possibility.
But countless years have passed, and no arcanist has really achieved the ultimate goal they envisioned.
At most, they can only reach the point of Stephens and can't continue.
Many legendary arcanists are exploring different possibilities, but there is no successful precedent after all.
Of course, there are arcanists who have become gods.
There are indeed arcanists who gave up exploring and chose to become gods through the path to godhood.
This is recorded, but this method is not without cost.
The arcanists who became gods through this method have lost the special ability of the legendary arcanists to control, change and create the rules of the world.
This ability of the arcanists seems to be incompatible with the priesthood of the gods.
This is also the reason why Mr. Stephens did not choose to embark on the path of ascension.
For the legendary arcanists, the desire to explore and master the rules of the world is something they are absolutely unwilling to give up.
And becoming a god through the path of ascension will be bound by the rules corresponding to the [priesthood] and will be constantly assimilated and changed by the power of the [priesthood].
This change is no different from becoming a lich and constantly losing wisdom.
Of course, Li Si now has another way.
That is the [Sphinx Ascension] obtained from the legendary arcanist Sphinx!
Although this special arcane has not yet been perfected, Sphinx has only completed the stage of condensing the power of faith to purify the divine power and constructing the virtual elemental godhood. Li Si has no idea how to ignite the divine fire and ascend to the throne.
But we have to say that the Sphinx is truly amazing, and this method is quite feasible.
At least Li Si is ready. After being promoted to Legend, he will start to try the [Sphinx Divine Technique].
However, Li Si will definitely not tell Adela about the [Sphinx Divine Art].
This is his biggest secret. Even Teacher Stephens doesn't know how much benefit Li Si got from the ruins in Xueling Town.
When he didn't understand why Adela asked him why he wanted to become a god, Li Si first used this reason to test.
"Of course I know."
Adela looked at Li Si with a peaceful smile on her face.
"I am also an Arcanist, so I naturally understand why you would choose this way."
"But your teacher should have told you that this road has not been traveled so far."
Li Si remained silent, acquiescing to what Adela said.
Adela didn't care about Li Si's silence and said to herself:
"In fact, I once wanted to try to do it on my own, but after so many years, I still have no clue."
"I even doubted that there is really an arcanist who can take this path and master the power of the gods?"
Li Si looked at Adela. Although the great sage was smiling, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Of course, I'm not advising you to give up now."
"No matter which arcanist is able to break through to the legendary level, who would doubt his own wisdom?"
Adela pointed at Li Si, and then pointed at herself.
"Like you, like me."
"I'm just here to tell you another way."
"Since you know the goal that the arcanists have been hoping for for countless years, you naturally also know the secret of the road to becoming a god, right?"
"Um."
Li Si nodded slightly. In fact, the name of the Road to God was circulated among extraordinary professionals, but most people didn't understand the secret.
"Then do you know why I said this to you?"
Adela turned to smile at Li Si and slowly walked towards the altar in front of her.
"have no idea."
Li Si was indeed confused. Adela's tone seemed to be very confident that he could take the path to becoming a god and become a god.
But he himself wasn't sure about this kind of thing, let alone Adela, who he had only met a few times?
"For many years, countless people have embarked on this path, but how many people succeeded in the end?"
Adela walked forward slowly, but her tone was quite calm, as if she was telling a story in history.
"No one dares to say that he will definitely succeed, but over the years, we can vaguely see certain patterns."
"Just like now"
"Now?"
Li Si followed Adela and asked with some confusion.
"right."
"In fact, the vast majority of people who have succeeded in becoming gods have succeeded during the wave of chaos sweeping the world of Gaia."
"Only in times of change, old gods continue to fall and die, and new gods ascend to the throne."
"Otherwise why would the gods be so cautious during this period?"
"Because they don't want to fall in this wave of chaos, become victims, and become stepping stones for new gods to ascend to the throne of God."
Li Si quietly listened to Adela telling these secret things. Although he had vaguely understood this information before, he really didn't expect this step.
"This kind of thing has happened many times in the world of Gaia?"
Li Si looked at the great sage in front of him and asked softly.
"Of course, your human gods emerged from the wave of the previous era, especially those three powerful gods."
Adela said with a smile, these things are no secret to the elves with a long tradition.
"The chaos and unknown caused by this wave of times that has descended on the world of Gaia is far greater than what has happened many times before."
"This is an oracle sent by the gods. I didn't quite understand it at first."
Adela sighed and continued:
"Only when the Elf Royal Court is destroyed by the Demon Prince will I know what this really means."
"After all, the Elf Kingdom was not greatly affected by the chaos and wars caused by the previous waves of time."
"Not to mention Zhuonuo City, the Elf King's Court that has been inherited for the longest time. Who would have thought that it would be completely destroyed like this after the wave of the times."
Li Si nodded, it was true.
After all, the elves have been inherited for a long time, and the elves are also the first batch of religious gods to rise. It is really difficult for ordinary war and chaos to affect the forest of elves.
“The greater the chaos, the greater the opportunities and possibilities that lie within it.”
"No one knows what will happen in the future, but as a great elven sage, I have to consider the entire elves."
"For example, find allies wherever possible."
"And now, you are one of my choices."
"I?"
Li Si looked at Adela who was already standing on the steps of the altar with some confusion, and asked uncertainly.
"Why did you choose me?"
Li Si was a little puzzled. To be honest, although he was confident that he could become a legend and even go on to become a legend, he was still just a gold-level arcanist now.
Why is Adela so sure that she even wants him to be an ally of the entire elves, as she said before?
You know, ordinary legendary level experts are nothing to the elves.
Not to mention him now.
"What do you think is the reason?"
Adela looked at Li Si with a smile. Under the shining light of the statue, the moon elf seemed to have a sacred meaning.
Li Si's brain was working quickly. What was special about him?
[Sphinx Ascension]?
Adela should not know this
Teacher Stephens's disciple?
If Teacher Stephens does have this qualification, but he is just a disciple, wouldn't it be more appropriate to find a teacher?
My talent?
Who knows whether talent will be fulfilled.
Could it be?
"Because I am the World Tree Blessed?"
Li Si looked at Adela and said, thinking about it, only this identity is more special for the elves.
Shouldn't it be?
You know, as the World Tree Blessed, the Elf Kingdom has given him quite a high regard.
Whether it is the identity of the Elf Sage or the support for him to form [Nature's Wrath].
No matter how you look at it, it seems that there is no inevitable connection, right?
Moreover, even now, if the Elf Kingdom really needs it, Li Si will take the initiative to provide help, but his current strength may not be strong.
"Other elves may not know, but in the Elf Land that serves the gods, we have recorded many secrets related to the gods for countless years."
"Among them, there are those related to the World Tree Sage."
Adela looked at Li Si and said slowly:
"Li Si, do you know how many World Tree Favored Ones have appeared?"
"I don't know."
Li Si shook his head slightly. He had heard that the powerful Mother Earth Goddess might be the World Tree Favored One, but there was no way to confirm the authenticity of this rumor, and the Earth Church had never mentioned relevant information to the outside world.
Adela nodded and continued:
"According to the records of the Elfland, there have been three World Tree Blessed Ones."
"The first one is [Father of Oak] Sylvanus."
"However, this great being is one of the few remaining original gods in the Gaia world. He was a god-level being long before the appearance of Lord Yggdrasil, the World Tree. He was recognized by Lord Yggdrasil and became a World Tree Blessed One, helping to spread life in the then desolate Gaia world."
"The second one is Lord Corellon [Creator, Guardian and Ruler of the Elves]. My Lord is the first elf born on the World Tree and also became a World Tree Blessed One."
"The third one is [Mother Goddess of the Earth] Shangtiia. She is the last World Tree Blessed One to appear, and she also achieved great deeds and ascended to the throne of God not long after."
"And you are the fourth one!"
Adela looked at Li Si and said very solemnly.
