"林恩,从你的实力来看,你已经掌握了水的三层玄奥了吧?"
果断落败,斯科特试探性地问道,心情复杂.
林恩谦虚地笑道:"是的,我最近有一个幸运的突破."
斯科特有些恼怒林恩不断的好运,说道:"你敢挑战六星恶魔,一点也不奇怪!"
林恩却澄清道:"我之前就说过了,面对六星恶魔,我顶多有百分之二十到百分之三十的几率能守住阵地.真能打败一个?就算是六星恶魔,也算是幸运了." 10%的机会."
融合三个神秘的方面是一个重要的里程碑.
从他的前世记忆和巴尔扎克的日记中可以看出,六星恶魔中,很少有能够达到这种融合程度的.大多数融合了两个方面,依靠他们的血统,神器或技能来达到六星标准.通过恶魔测试,他们将自动获得六星地位.
六星恶魔之间的差距,实在是太大了.
在一个崇尚力量的世界里,人们很容易接受新的信仰.
林恩吃了一惊,犹豫着要不要接受这个提议.但对方却坚持道:"不要拒绝,我能提供的有限,但一个帝国的信仰就足够了,收下吧,以示我的尊重."
命运一旦突破到更高位面,就会重塑他形象中的这个紫色物质位面.
黑石公爵的领域已更名为神域!
作为四神兽家族的一员,她注定是注定失败的,没有任何讨价还价的机会,也没有逃脱的机会.
斯科特思考了一会儿,然后苦笑了一下,意识到过度思考是徒劳的.
关于现在离开...
头衔和神名对于团结追随者和促进沟通至关重要.不然弟子们在教法中又会如何称呼林恩呢?
回到皇城,进入皇宫后,斯科特与琳恩就分道扬镳了.
安德烈彻底惊呆了,艰难地表达着:"这...这..."
选择这样的道路无异于自杀.四神兽世家的尊严,不允许她放弃战场.这样做就意味着遭到无情的追捕.
幸好她有圣境化身,还有地狱下位毁灭神分身.就算她的水元素真身陨落在这里,也不会是她的结局.
斯科特微笑着讨论了细节.
他平静道:"我愿意献出这个来报恩,若不是为了你的贤子,我愿意献出整个帝国!"
These words were no exaggeration; in the eyes of a god-level powerhouse, an empire is but a joke.
Should he still be called the Blackstone Duke, or something else?
Scott was both pleased and ashamed.
Neither title seemed quite right.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Scott Empire is now several times stronger than before, backed by two god-level powerhouses.
Gino was at a loss for words, after some thought, he didn't have a good idea, and angrily glared at the Pope, cursing and lecturing, "How should I know, you waste! You haven't become a god in 5000 years, while Lin En has practiced for only a few years!"
Without Lin En's guidance, he would still be troubled by inertia thinking for countless years...
Scott didn't know about these things. He didn't want to keep taking advantage, as debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay. As a god who achieved godhood independently and broke through to a mid-level god, he was not a thick-skinned scoundrel, but a proud heart, always uncomfortable.
The founder of the Parker Empire, the old ancestor – Fire Element Lower God Parker, was in deep retreat, preparing to break through to a mid-level god, and was temporarily unaware of this.
The next day, as the decree was issued, the whole empire's public opinion exploded like gunpowder.
All about four-star, five-star demons...
Lin En casually said.
"The Scott Empire is about to change!"
"Okay."
"Andre."
Not to mention the high and mighty six-star demons, even five-star demons were too powerful for him to provoke unless he comprehended all the mysteries of the wind element and became a higher god. But that day was far away.
Because she knew that Lin En and Scott had a decent relationship, and wouldn't compete for faith. Besides, Lin En had previously sworn he wasn't interested in faith, and wouldn't turn his face so quickly.
Soon after, Emperor Andre announced his abdication!
The successor to the throne, unsurprisingly, was the third prince, Regulus. After ascending to the throne, his first act was to announce that the Land of the Heavenly God belonged to Lin En's family.
At the Natural Church, Aisha received the news earlier. She was surprised but didn't think like Gino.
Having said this, Lin En would be too pretentious to refuse, and he knew very well that Scott wanted to repay a favor.
Suddenly, Scott seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "In that case, the faith of the Scott Empire will belong to you from now on. I'll talk to Andre about it!"
Aisha shook her head, sighing to herself, "Ah, what's the point of doing this? When the upper realm god-level powerhouses descend, that's when everything will be decided. We are at best mere ants, waiting for the judgment of fate."
He always believed one thing: relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. It's better to rely on oneself than on mountains and people, as only self-reliance is the real deal.
Gino, upon hearing this, mocked in his heart, saying to his subordinates, including the Dark Pope, "Hmph, this Lin En talks one way and acts another. He claims to be disinterested in faith, yet he threatened Scott into giving up an empire's faith."
He had indeed said before that he wouldn't interfere with the faith layout of this plane, but now one of the parties actively offered it, showing an enthusiastic attitude that he couldn't refuse. To refuse would be too hypocritical.
Even an invincible great complete higher god would have to kneel and sing of conquest!
But...
The people within the Land of the Heavenly God were even more proud, declaring themselves children of the Heavenly God, with a strong sense of belonging and honor!
If she's lucky enough to survive this mission and return to her family, she could exchange her merits for precious cultivation resources...
She had no confidence in her heart!
If the Dark Church's god-level beings descend first, the Natural Church will undoubtedly be the first to be cleansed, which is beyond doubt.
"This is the legendary power of faith... Hmm... It does have some special effects..."
The Pope was scolded into introversion.
The news spread quickly, first to other kingdoms and duchies of the Natural Alliance, then to the Dark Alliance.
From nobles to commoners, everyone was discussing it, mainly because the information contained was a bit overwhelming.
At this moment, various thoughts flashed through his mind. Since learning about that god's ascension, he had been trembling with fear, worried about the balance of power among god-level powerhouses being disrupted.
"Prepare to issue an order, from now on, only the Heavenly God Lin En can be worshipped within the empire, violators will be executed!"
Pondering...
Andre trembled and nodded in response, "Yes!"
Lin En said indifferently, "It's okay."
Then it must be Scott's initiative!
The Pope was a dark-element Holy Realm magic guide, thin and short with a broom-like beard and a face full of wrinkles, showing signs of the years. He said worriedly, "My lord, what if he threatens our Dark Church? The faith of our lord must not be twisted."
To outsiders unaware of the details, this seemed like the decline of the empire, but only a few high-ranking officials knew that the royal family was closely related to Lin En's family. As long as Regulus was there, the empire would always bear the name Scott!
"Blackstone Duke Lin En has become a god, am I still dreaming?"
"Ah, it's good to have you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about the slow mysteries, and wouldn't know how to proceed in the future."
"Scott is quite generous."
Within the territory of the Scott Empire, the original statues of the Wind God were one by one removed, replaced by statues of the Heavenly God Lin En. With the royal family's support, the new faith spread smoothly.
The name of a deity should be straightforward, avoiding any flamboyance that would make it a mouthful for worshippers to invoke daily.
...
With the divine title established, streams of faith flowed together like a river, forming golden strands that merged into Lin En's soul, creating a subtle, almost imperceptible sheath around it.
"Why this change? Wasn't the empire devoted to the grand Wind God?"
The commoners are pragmatic. To them, if the Heavenly God supersedes the Wind God, it signifies the former's superior might.
"What do you think of 'Water God' as a title? I've previously been called the 'Wind God.'"
At the Dark Church headquarters.
"Heavenly God!"
Aisha reassured herself with this thought.
She internally reprimanded herself for needing a reminder for such a simple idea. Before, she had been so fixated on complex concepts that she overlooked the straightforward approach. Now, enlightened, it felt like a clouded mind had finally cleared.
Advising Scott was merely a contingency plan. His main focus remained on unraveling the laws of destiny.
Shocked and somewhat relieved, he contemplated abdication. With age catching up, he considered retiring early to concentrate on reaching the Holy Realm.
The emperor, busy with documents, was startled by a familiar and authoritative voice. Looking up to see Scott, he quickly stood and knelt, showing his reverence, "Great Ancestor!"
He was aware that this minimal faith had a negligible impact on his cultivation compared to Lin En's assistance. It was like comparing the brilliance of the moon to the faint glow of a firefly.
Richie Lin En, the Heavenly God's son and a Holy Realm magician of both wind and water elements, announced the relinquishment of his father's ducal title of the Scott Empire.
"The Heavenly God it is."
Scott murmured, his eyes brightening as he nodded in approval, "A fitting name indeed!"
This realization brought a mixture of fear and relief to Scott.
For Lin En, this first foray into faith was intriguing. He felt the convergence of countless golden threads, which slightly boosted his efficiency in deciphering laws and rules, and offered soul protection. However, the impact was so marginal it was almost insignificant.
Lin En deduced that even with the faith of an entire continent, the boost to his cultivation would be minimal. Such a feat required the foundations of countless lives and extensive time to yield even minor results. Minor endeavors held little significance.
Without ascending to the status of a principal deity, the effort hardly seemed worthwhile.
To become a principal deity...
