Compared to the crypt dwellers, this Mind Flayer God hidden in the Mind Flayer Kingdom on the fourth level of the Underdark poses a greater threat to the Lord of Darkness.
You must know that the underground kingdom of the Lord of Darkness is on the fifth layer of the Underdark, and his main believers, the drow elves, are on the third layer of the Underdark. An alien god is secretly hiding on the fourth layer of the Underdark, which is equivalent to being stuck in his vital point. No one can tolerate this, and this dangerous alien god must be killed first.
The exposed God of Mind Flayer had to seek help from the Alliance of Gods in the first layer of the Underdark. After careful consideration, the gods agreed to let the God of Mind Flayer join the alliance.
After all, for the Anti-Lord of Darkness Alliance, which has always been at a disadvantage, one more true god means one more strength. Even Lin Xiao voted in favor of this.
Of course it was not because of the extra power, but after agreeing to absorb the God of Mind Flayer into the alliance, all the true gods in the entire alliance would focus their attention on the fourth layer of the Underdark. Both the drow and other races would focus their main energy there, and naturally they would pay less attention to the Cryptmen. He could take advantage of this period of time to develop rapidly, and it would be best for him to be deified first during this period. Otherwise, he would still be an incarnation of the Son of God, and would not be able to appear before the gods openly.
The following plot was just as Lin Xiao had expected. The gods on the first underground layer sent down their incarnations to support the Mind Flayer Kingdom, and fought with several incarnations of the Lord of Darkness on the fourth layer of the Underdark.
The Lord of Darkness only sent out three incarnations to suppress the eight incarnations of true gods and the true body of the Mind Flayer on the same layer. Even with so many incarnations of gods attacking together, they were no match for him.
However, although he was at a disadvantage, he was still far from being defeated. The Lord of Darkness was alone and without any help, and was temporarily unable to kill the God of Mind Flayer, and the battle situation was temporarily deadlocked.
At this time, Lin Xiao naturally developed the cavemen rapidly. He specially issued a divine revelation to the cavemen's king Onard to expand rapidly, and greatly increased the number of delegations going to other places in the Underdark to find cavemen tribes.
The war of gods always lasts for a very long time, often dozens or even hundreds of years. The God of Mind Flayer was in the vortex of the war of gods and was exhausted, while Lin Xiao was rapidly developing and expanding his power. The contrast between the two made the God of Mind Flayer extremely unwilling, and soon rumors appeared in the Underdark that the God of the Cryptmen was an invader from a foreign land.
Lin Xiao received the news first, was silent for a moment, and then made a decision to become a god immediately.
Although his previous plan was to start canonizing gods after establishing the kingdom of God, now that the situation has developed in this way, he has no choice but to change his plan.
One day half a month later, the God of Mind Flayers, who was hiding deep in the fourth layer of the Underdark, suddenly looked up in a certain direction. His gaze passed through layers of earth and void and saw that the space in the distance was distorted, like a distorted sun slowly rising. An extremely powerful will slowly stretched out, wantonly showing its existence to all living beings who could feel it.
"Cryptids and the God of Protection!"
The will of the Heart Flayer God directly sensed the existence of powerful divine power in the distance, and muttered to himself expressionlessly:
"Were you forced to be deified?"
"If that's the case, once you kill the Lord of Darkness, that will be your death."
At this moment, Lin Xiao's consciousness had already entered the source sea of this crystal wall universe at the moment of his deification.
Any true god, at the moment of being deified, will enter the source sea of his own universe and receive gifts from the source sea.
In an instant, the underlying rule grid of the entire Crystal Wall Universe appears before the Deifier. At this moment, the Deifier's understanding of the laws of his own divine duties will advance by leaps and bounds. At the same time, the infusion of source power from the Source Sea will enable the Deifier to break through the boundary between demigod and true god, and his divine power will surge.
So at the moment of contact with the source sea, Lin Xiao's mastery of the law of the protective priesthood increased rapidly at this moment, and soon broke through from just over 1% to 3%, saving at least tens of millions of divine power analysis.
A moment is extremely short and is over in an instant.
But just as it was about to disappear, the Magic Cube of Creation in Lin Xiao's divine body suddenly turned slightly, and an indescribable attraction emerged out of thin air. The next second, the entire source sea shook slightly, and the four largest frames that constituted the basic underlying rule network of the Crystal Wall Universe shook violently, and then one of the frame lines shook slightly, and a phantom flew out of it and sank into his divine body.
The source sea disappeared, Lin Xiao's will returned to himself, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of shock.
Name of God: God of Cryptids and Protection/Matter.
Alignment: Lawful neutral.
Clergy: Crypt dweller, protection, material (ancient god priesthood)
Godhood level: Faith god level 0 weak divine power/ancient god level 1 weak divine power
Areas: protection, material.
Universal supernatural power: change form, change reality, change size, God descends to earth, true power, communication between all things, life and death,
Exclusive extraordinary divine abilities: summoning creatures (elements, created creatures), controlling creatures (created races), divine gifts, and possession by gods.
The ancient god's extraordinary divine powers: true knowledge, manipulation of matter, and divine physical immunity.
Divine immunity: attribute damage, attribute absorption, acid, cold, electricity, poison, disease, disintegration, energy drain, paralysis, sleep, deterrence, deformation, imprisonment, exile, instant death effects, mind effects, etc.
"Ancient God's divine material!"
At the moment when he was about to leave the Source Sea, the Creation Cube forcibly extracted one of the four original laws from the Source Sea and gave it to him.
The so-called four original laws are the basic origins that constitute the entire world, namely - time, space, energy, and matter, not the so-called earth, fire, wind and water.
The earth, fire, wind and water in Eastern legends are just the four original energies that constitute the world's matter and energy, and they also need to include time and space.
By mastering the fundamental law of matter, he directly obtained three super-powerful extraordinary divine abilities exclusive to the ancient gods, namely true knowledge, manipulation of matter, and immunity to divine physics.
The control of matter and God's physical immunity are easy to understand. The so-called true knowledge means knowing everything and being omnipotent. This is a divine ability that can only be possessed by those who have mastered the four original laws.
Of course, this true knowledge is not true omniscience and omnipotence. It can only know everything below the level of true God, and is limited to everything within this crystal wall universe. Moreover, one must come into contact with or have a relationship with it to truly know it. If one has not encountered or seen something, one cannot know it out of thin air.
For example, when he gets a weapon, he will instantly know the material and forging process of the weapon. If he wants, he can trace it back to where the ore of the weapon material comes from, who has held the weapon, and even who has been killed with the weapon, the origin of the killed person, etc. As long as he wants, he can trace it back to the source.
Although more divine power is consumed as time goes on, in theory one can trace back to the source.
He would not have been able to do any of this if he had not obtained this weapon.
When Lin Xiao was officially deified, many prying eyes quickly disappeared. No matter how the Mind Flayer had slandered him before, when he was deified, all the rumors and attacks were self-defeating.
At the same time, when Lin Xiao was deified, in a huge temple deep in the distant unknown void, countless beings sitting on thrones cast their eyes towards a throne that appeared out of thin air at the very end of the outermost circle of the Pantheon.
Lin Xiao's consciousness was full of curiosity as he looked at this huge Pantheon. The three huge thrones in the center were shining brightly, and on them sat three tall figures emitting awe-inspiring divine power. These were obviously the three powerful divine powers of this Crystal Wall Universe.
Below these three thrones are dozens of thrones of slightly lower status. As expected, they are the medium-level divine powers of this world. Among them, he found the throne representing the Lord of Darkness, which ranks very high among the many medium-level divine powers.
In the Pantheon, the position of the throne will in most cases directly represent the strength of the god, the stronger the strength, the higher the position.
The reason why I say this in most cases is because of the existence of the ancient gods' priesthood, which cannot be detected by the Pantheon.
Below the medium divine power is the weak divine power numbering as high as seven or eight hundred, and below that is the tiny divine power numbering over nine thousand. Lin Xiao is at the back of the outermost circle, ranking last.
At this time, Lin Xiao's duties displayed were those of a crypt dweller and a protector. Most of the gods looked at him and then looked away. Only a few gods looked at him with either malice or kindness.
He looked up with a sense of something, and saw nearly thirty true gods looking at him, including the Lord of Darkness, the God of Mind Flayer, and a dozen true gods of the anti-Darkness pantheon in the Underdark.
In addition to these true gods that he had seen, there were a dozen true gods that he had never seen before, who cast malicious glances at him.
They have never been seen before, but they are full of malice. The reason is very simple, because their priesthoods overlap, and these dozen true gods all have the priesthood of protection.
There are only so many priesthoods in the world, but there are tens of thousands of true gods, so there must be duplicate priesthoods.
All priesthoods have an attraction to each other. When two true gods have the same priesthood, they want to become one just like opposite poles of magnets attract each other, thus causing the two true gods with the same priesthood to become hostile to each other.
Most of the fights between gods were caused by the same priesthood. After all, if one could merge and absorb the divine power of a god with the same priesthood, thereby directly devouring the opponent's understanding and mastery of that priesthood, it would directly strengthen one's own priesthood, thereby directly improving the level of the divine power. What a tempting thing this is.
As the saying goes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
When these true gods looked at Lin Xiao, the new god, with covetous eyes, they did not know that the new god was also looking at them with covetous eyes.
If all of these true gods with the priesthood of protection were defeated and the priesthood of protection were seized, I'm afraid the priesthood of protection alone would be enough to support him for several levels of godhood. If the racial priesthood of the cavemen were added, there would be a high probability that he would be promoted to a medium-level godly power in the future with these two priesthoods.
In fact, if they could kill so many true gods, they would definitely be able to plunder a large number of other priesthoods and become even more powerful.
