Chapter 1088 - 57: Impacting the Domain of the Gods (Part 3)
The supreme status of the privileged ones, without this status, many Divine Spirits are nothing.
The Goddess of Magic is highly recommended here, because she is the greatest among the privileged ones, and her strongest ability isn’t Divine Power, but rather the deprivation of magic usage rights.
Above the magic web is the network of faith.
You can understand these as the Internet and local area network, and the authority held by an upper being is that they can directly ’disconnect’ you.
The Priest instantly loses their Divine Techniques, the Mage instantly cannot cast Spells.
Even if you have a trace of Domain Law as a Legendary Powerhouse—say you have the Domain Law of the concepts like wilderness, forest, animals, and plants—when facing an upper being with the concept of ’nature’, the opponent can suppress and deprive the Domain Law you worked so hard to grasp with just a thought.
In the end, you’re left with only your basic occupational abilities.
To escape the control of the privileged ones, it’s best to open a private Domain yourself, or find a way to bypass the laws they control, or possess several large concept Domains.
In this way, if one of your Domains is sealed, you still have other large concept Domains available.
Unless you’re making enemies everywhere, a Divine Spirit can’t possibly seal all your Domains; you’ll always have Domain Laws they can’t control.
Within the Divine Realm.
After making up her mind, Ayo quickly mobilized the power of the Divine Format, observing the actions of this man in the mortal world; the status of Divine Spirits can elevate the status of believers, just like direct dial-up access, allowing elected individuals to contact the will of the Divine Spirit at any time.
Pirate Islands.
Ayo saw a scene of raging storms followed by cannon fire, and one pirate ship after another flying skull sails sank in the distance. In just a short moment, the fleet of Cergon annihilated the dozens of pirate ships before him.
"He actually has such command abilities?" Ayo’s expression became more and more delighted.
The man leapt down from the mast, then plunged into the deep sea. Amid the murky blood spreading, a giant purgatory deep-sea octopus was slain, and his figure surged through the waves. With such strong physical qualities, he could even sprint on the water’s surface. Although he used some spell effects, it still shocked the pirates from afar into having no fighting spirit.
As several ferocious heads were chopped off, this combined pirate army of thousands surrendered instantly.
Mine!
This man is my follower.
The whole process was like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood; when Duncan’s figure stepped onto the pirate islands, in front lay a vast, dark sea of sinister beings kneeling before him.
Ayo cut off the sensing ability of the Divine Format, pondered for a moment, then said to the Brahma Heaven Divine Attendant beside her: "Prepare a bath and change of clothes."
"Send someone to request some Holy Water from the Eternal Gold Pool."
No more delays.
Tonight, she will summon Duncan’s consciousness into her Divine Country. Usually, Divine Spirits project into the dreams of their followers or provide some vague oracular guidance, but it’s definitely different for elected individuals.
On the chaotic battlefield.
Duncan looked over the kneeling pirates before him, gestured for Sharella behind him to take over, and then slowly approached a dilapidated Shen Kan.
—God of Pirates - Bordan.
The origin of Borden’s Gate, the most famous Legendary pirate of Ferren known as a potential Ascender, relying on Legendary Level completed a mortal’s transformation, possessing some possibilities of ascension to godhood. However, ultimately he couldn’t escape the clutches of the sea goddess and fell to a tragic fate, completely disappearing from the sight of mortals.
In the past few hundred years, among the ranked reserve Ascenders, Bordan, the Legendary pirate and founder of Borden’s Gate, should be counted as one.
Being an Ascender only means you have the potential to become a god, not that you will definitely succeed.
Too many Ascenders have died.
If you aren’t the top-tier power among mortals, a Legendary among Legendaries, you don’t even have the qualification to become an Ascender.
"There is actually such a thing here?"
Duncan’s expression was slightly surprised, but that’s about it.
A failed and fallen Ascender, not even a spark on the altar, can only be considered an antique.
How could pirates possibly compete with the sea?
Just a plaything.
Without extraordinary power to support, Bordan’s limit is Ascender, a legendary figure spoken of by mortals. The threshold for Ascenders actually isn’t too high; as long as one possesses High-tier Legendary level strength, coupled with enough support from Legendary Level, one can become a potential Ascender, but the final death rate is nearly ninety-nine percent.
No one stops you from seeking death; Ascenders with unmatched strength and ambition die particularly quickly.
This is somewhat like the Eastern tradition of tribulation, where you try a tribulation with a mere Golden Core; it’s not impossible, but you’re more likely to be obliterated.
Among mortals, ambitious individuals exhaust all sorts of means to ascend to godhood, such as stealing the Divinity of the Elf Mother Tree, secretly imprisoning some Divine-like Power, or stealing the power left by the Three Gods of Death, etc., but in the end, successful cases are few. Without the support of Divine Spirits, not a single one has succeeded.
Thinking of ascending to godhood without a foundation?
Don’t even think about it.
Other than those mortals favored by the God of Gods, Ayo, and directly promoted to Divine Spirits, most other Ascenders trying to rely on their own power to become gods nearly met total annihilation.
In Ferren, the possibility for mortals to ascend to godhood on their own has been completely blocked.
But Duncan likes to pierce through the ceiling.
