Chapter 2617 - 1138: Creating Gods Can Be Addictive
Gaven multitasked in his response, "Under normal circumstances, that’s indeed the case, but if you can bring great benefits to the Gods, then the doors of opportunity can open wide, allowing you to go against the norm.
I am not a believer of Lady Strategy, yet it doesn’t hinder me from becoming her chief Chosen.
That’s because I can bring her enough faith, which has already far surpassed what Ms. Katherine brings to her.
The Berserk Blue Bear is now in the initial stage of belief, and besides a Uthgar Barbarian Tribe named Blue Bear, he has no other believers.
If you can truly bring his faith into Golia and greatly expand it, you can definitely become his chief Chosen.
This is a rare opportunity, if you miss it, and once it becomes strong, trying to convert then will make it difficult to gain such great benefits.
Mortals and True Gods achieve each other.
The rapid growth I’ve achieved is inseparable from Lady Strategy’s wholehearted assistance.
And after my successful development, it becomes the greatest honor for Lady Strategy, allowing her to ascend to godhood.
This is not only your opportunity, but also an opportunity for your Golia."
Gaven used his own experience as evidence. Kellysha, being directly involved in the matter, naturally empathized and nodded repeatedly, acknowledging the rationale of his statement.
"The idea is indeed good." Kellysha furrowed her brows and said, "But Golia worships the mountains, and our tribe has mastered the ability of Earth Resonance. This belief is deep-rooted; wanting them to change their faith may not be an easy task."
"Ha... that’s simple." Gaven replied with a smile, "You have a demigod fully supporting you; just integrate your original faith into it. Gods can change us, and we can also change the Gods."
"Change the Gods?" Kellysha’s already large and round eyes widened even further.
She understood every word Gaven said, but together, it surpassed her understanding and imagination.
His argument, to the Gods, is undoubtedly heretical blasphemy.
"Everyone thinks it’s the Gods who shaped mortals and spread faith among them, but few know that more True Gods are born from mortal faith." Since stepping one foot into the God’s Domain, Gaven developed his unique understanding of faith and the Gods.
This topic was too advanced; Kellysha had no idea how to respond and could only remain silent.
"Should the Gods hear your heretical ideas, they’d certainly send you to the stake." A hauntingly beautiful voice interjected.
Unbeknownst to them, the Crystal Spire had already been shrouded in white mist, and a gracefully vivid silhouette emerged from it.
"Teacher, you’re here!" Gaven bowed in respect, "Thank you for your full support; it’s enabled me to return successfully."
The person was none other than the Legendary Arcanist Philancy, who had always secluded herself within the Tower of Dominion, conducting her own research.
Gaven managed to stir significant trouble in the Bottomless Abyss, an area most avoided.
Philancy was an indispensable factor in this; her assistance in researching mass-production of the Shadow Flyer and Skeleton Cannon technology provided him with a technological advantage, allowing for a dimensional reduction assault on his enemies and rapid territorial expansion.
Sufficient personal strength was the primary condition for making alliances with the Queen of the Succubi and the King of the Minotaurs.
If he had not shown enough power to threaten the King of the Jackalweres, not only would they have refused the alliance, but they might have turned against him.
"If you keep saying such distant things, I might just leave." Philancy made a gesture to turn away.
"I was wrong." Gaven conceded.
"That’s more like it." Philancy’s frown turned into a smile.
Gaven’s gaze focused on the mist surrounding Philancy, asking gravely, "Has the situation with the teacher worsened again? Has that Nightmare Plane come knocking again?"
Before leaving the Material Plane, the mist on the Legendary Arcanist was just a thin veil.
Now, it had become somewhat indistinct, with mist lingering closely.
"Yes, and no." Philancy provided a contradictory response.
Gaven was now the one baffled.
Philancy didn’t prolong the suspense but gave a detailed answer, "Recently, I have been interacting with the Half-Plane of Fear indeed.
But this time, it wasn’t them coming to me; rather, I initiated deep research and analysis of it.
Escaping is not the solution; only by sufficiently understanding it, can one completely get rid of it.
I’ve already achieved initial results, with part of its power now at my disposal."
The mist around the Legendary Arcanist was shifting whimsically, seemingly able to transform into all things, eventually becoming a pure white mage robe, draping over Philancy, fully revealing her true appearance.
Her image perfectly matched the stereotypical Arcanist—medium human height, slender and fragile frame, with cascading black hair like a waterfall, a beautiful oval face slightly pale, evidently lacking sunlight, exuding a strong scholarly aura, periodically surrounded by gathering and dispersing white mist, composed of mysterious runes.
"I see." Gaven let out a long sigh, agreeing wholeheartedly, "The teacher is absolutely right; escaping isn’t the solution, especially not with the Half-Plane of Fear. The more you fear it, the more you inadvertently feed its power, drawing closer to it.
