The ancient gods do not refer to gods who have lived for a long time and are very old. Of course, this is true for mortals, but at the level above the extraordinary, especially at the level above the legendary, different worlds have different concepts of the ancient gods, but there is one thing in common.
That is, all powerful beings that do not need external forces such as faith to maintain their own power are collectively called ancient gods.
There are many types of ancient gods, and their strengths vary greatly, and the power systems of different worlds are different.
For example, in the famous Azeroth Crystal Wall Universe, the ancient gods in it are evil beings created by the Lord of the Void to corrupt and destroy the world, also called the Ancient Gods.
The ancient gods in the Toril Crystal Wall Universe are powerful gods who have the same priesthood and power as the gods of faith, the same level of divinity, but do not need the power of faith and are not bound by believers. This kind of ancient god directly controls the basic rules of the world and is very powerful, but there are very few of them.
In some worlds, the ancient gods refer to the innate gods who were born before.
Lin Xiao's current state is very similar to that of the ancient gods in the Toril Crystal Wall Universe. The main world follows the route of deification by the God Realm. Although the God Realm has replaced the Kingdom of God, the essence of faith and priesthood has not changed. Normally, after being deified, the players in the God Realm become the gods of faith.
Since it follows the route of the gods of the Toril Crystal Wall Universe, there are gods of faith, and naturally there are ancient gods.
However, under normal circumstances, the players in the God Realm of the main world all follow the route of deification by faith, or in other words, 99.99% or more of them follow the route of deification by faith. Only a few geniuses who embark on the path of ancient gods appear every few hundred or thousand years.
In the final analysis, the requirements of this path are too strict, and basically few people can reach them.
The conditions of the path of ancient gods are very strict, and can be roughly classified into the following points.
The first requirement: reaching a divinity level of level 6 or above before igniting the divine fire, that is, before the college entrance examination, the divinity value must exceed 100 points before igniting the divine fire and becoming a demigod.
According to the fact that the difficulty of condensing a point of divinity increases as the level increases, this requirement directly blocks almost all the players, even the super elites on the Tianjiao list find it difficult to achieve.
Just like Lin Xiao, he only has 36 points of divinity now, the fourth-level divinity level, which is terribly far away from the 100-point divinity and the sixth-level divinity level.
The second requirement: obtain an immortal soul in advance.
To be precise, obtain an immortal soul before igniting the divine fire.
The third requirement: a powerful law must be mastered by more than 10%.
This is also required before igniting the divine fire.
The so-called powerful law refers to powerful priesthoods such as killing, death, war, life, destruction, creation, magic, nature, fear, etc.
The above three points are hard requirements and the three most important requirements. In addition, there are some other requirements with lower difficulty, such as the four-section true name, which can be achieved by Tianjiao list players.
All of the above conditions must be achieved before becoming a demigod. It is useless to achieve them after igniting the divine fire and becoming a demigod.
Lin Xiao has now achieved an achievement, which is an immortal soul. As for whether the mastery of powerful laws and divinity value have been achieved
, this is still uncertain.
Because he had devoured and refined that nightmare will, he could feel that his soul was now much stronger than before. He couldn't know it now, but Lin Xiao estimated that his current divinity value had definitely reached the fifth level or even higher, and his mastery of the law would definitely increase dramatically.
After all, the will source from a powerful world might not be high in quantity, but it was terrifyingly high in quality.
It was just that he was in the transformation stage now and couldn't check his own status.
As time passed, the transformation gradually approached the peak. Lin Xiao could feel that his soul was rapidly becoming stronger, and the flying feeling made him intoxicated.
But this transformation could not continue forever. He didn't know how long it had been, whether it was a moment or a moment. When he woke up from the intoxication of this transformation, the transformation was over.
At the moment when the transformation ended, the Creation Cube began to slowly become transparent and shrink inward, slowly reflecting a round crystal with a crystal clear shell that was spinning, which was the core of the crystal wall system.
At this time, the shell of the crystal wall system's origin core was already Lin Xiao's soul shell. His soul and will, as well as the condensed laws and priesthood, were all contained in this new soul shell.
When the Creation Cube shrank and disappeared into the new soul shell, revealing a crystalline sphere, the vortex formed by the filthy air extracted around the cube quickly gathered towards his soul shell, but was repelled and restrained by an invisible force field when approaching.
Lin Xiao's consciousness slowly emerged from the soul shell, and with a thought, the chaotic vortex changed with his will, forming a tall black human figure formed by chaotic gray fog.
Using this black humanoid as a shell to cover the true soul core, the consciousness radiated outward from this core
. Above the Black Sea, the evil god covered in mud grabbed another equally huge flesh mountain body and tore it apart. A cloud of extremely dark mist with countless tentacles and claws appeared in the divine blood spraying all over the sky. The evil god opened his mouth and bit the mist. A mental shock that made the sons of nightmares feel like their heads were smashed by a sledgehammer swept over. All the souls were forced out of their bodies, and the sailors on the ironclad ship died instantly.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, a son of nightmare with a body deformed like a monster broke through the hatch and rushed onto the deck, followed by several equally deformed sons of nightmares.
The head of Jovis, who had lost control and transformed into his true form, had turned into the head of an unknown monster with horns. He looked into the distance with excitement and said excitedly:
"The winner is about to be decided."
Several Nightmare Sons who were also unable to maintain their forms due to the mental shock just now were all excitedly looking at the distance and discussing fiercely:
"I don't know how much wreckage will be left. It would be great if there are enough left."
"If each person can get more than two
, it will be a big profit." "Should we move closer? Otherwise, we may not be able to grab them. This wreckage is useful to us, and it is even more fatally attractive to sea monsters. I'm afraid that many will come over later."
"Don't be afraid. These sea monsters have a keener sense of danger than us. They will have fled far away by now. We have the advantage."
"But all the sailors on the ship are dead. What should we do if we can't drive the ship?"
"Put down the spare boat. There is nothing in the nearby sea now. It is safe."
"Then prepare quickly."
Several sons of nightmare hurriedly prepared, moved a small boat more than ten meters long onto the deck and hung it along the edge of the ship. While preparing, they observed the distant sea. After the evil god covered with mud tore the opponent's body and bit it, there was no movement over there.
In the depths of the Black Sea, the evil god bit the meat mountain and then stopped moving. It seemed to be dead and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea while maintaining the previous movement.
But in the sea of spirits that ordinary people cannot see, a fierce fight is taking place. The will of the evil god is fighting with the will of the meat mountain and the gray fog giant that is the incarnation of the newly appeared will of Lin Xiao.
With the nightmare will and a soul aggregate comparable to the ancient evil creature, the two are fused and transformed, with the shell of the crystal wall system origin core as the soul body, and then activating the massive soul power like the chaotic vortex, at this time, Lin Xiao is already comparable to the true god in terms of soul strength, and can already participate in the war between such beings.
Of course, it only refers to the immortality of the soul level, not to say that the strength of his soul is already at the level of the true god.
And it is only limited to this world. If he leaves this world, his soul will still be immortal, but it will definitely not be as strong as it is now. Except for the soul core inside the soul body formed by the shell of the crystal wall system origin core, he will give up everything outside when he leaves this world.
This world is too weird, and the power components obtained are also very complicated. It is not very compatible with the divine domain. If you take it back, it will affect the divine domain and the clan.
So if he can return alive in the future, Lin Xiao will not take back anything except the purification of the magic cube of creation.
The spiritual fight could not be seen, but the risk was even greater, especially in a three-way melee.
Although the will in the meat mountain was born based on Lin Xiao's soul when he was asleep, it already had an independent self-awareness at this time, that is, it did not want to be taken back, nor did it want to be swallowed by the unknown evil god. The resistance was particularly fierce, and it also wanted to swallow the main body to gain true freedom and independence.
After a long battle, Lin Xiao took advantage of the situation and gave up resistance in the entanglement and was captured by the meat mountain will.
He did not realize this and began to devour him impatiently during the war.
This was exactly what Lin Xiao wanted. When the two sides merged into one and began to devour, the Creation Cube suddenly emerged, swallowed the unprepared meat mountain will in one fell swoop, and then entangled the evil god's will to prevent him from escaping.
With the power of the Creation Cube and the strength of its soul that was not inferior to the evil god's will, it finally succeeded in swallowing it into the Creation Cube, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.
When the evil god's will was devoured, the mud covering the huge evil god began to dry up and lose its activity. The corpse biting the meat mountain broke free and slowly slid into the seabed with the meat mountain.
At this time, the six sons of nightmares were ecstatic after feeling the gradually dissipating pressure, and quickly jumped on the boat and rowed towards the battle direction.
Soon they came to the sea where the waves were not calm, but they did not see any corpses. Everyone was stunned.
After a while, Hall said:
"The winner has been decided, why don't we see the corpse?"
Others could not answer. After a while, someone said:
"Did it sink to the bottom of the sea?"
"What should we do? Go down?"
The sons of nightmares did not speak. They dared to go down to the sea in other worlds, but they did not dare to go down to the bottom of this world. Moreover, this is already the depths of the Black Sea. They don't know how deep it is, and they don't know how terrifying the monsters are. Even Lord Ganilon dare not dive into the deep sea at will.
But if they don't go down, it means missing the possible corpse of the god, and they are very unwilling.
