Ascension journey - 403

The Ancient Scrolls of Knowledge is originally an artifact of wisdom created by Oghma using himself as a template, and its ability to discern and judge through various divine arts and details is no worse than Oghma himself.

Since the Scroll of Knowledge believes that the red dragon entering the tower has reached the standard for awakening the spirit of the god, Oghma, who has been awakened from his sleep, naturally knows the general situation of the red dragon.

The biggest difference between the gods of the gods and the supreme gods lies in the angle of observing the world and various concepts. Because once in a certain crystal wall system, he has touched the god of the gods “Ao”, who defeated the gods. The cognition and judgment in this area is still a bit refreshing.

After being awakened, he obtained a lot of information from the Scrolls of Knowledge, and with the convenience of the priesthood, he reviewed the side of the red dragon observed by other lives in the long river of fate. In the bottom of his heart, Oghma had already regarded the red dragon as being extremely far away. A god from a strange world.

In the face of this existence that is more than a dimension and can erase himself from the long river of time with only one thought, Oghma’s attitude in his words seems to be cautious.

Even if the unknown existence who bears the name of the demigod red dragon Kasa clearly stated that he wanted to cut a part of his knowledge and use it, Oghma didn’t have any emotions such as offended anger–

He couldn’t guilty of trying to touch the god of the gods for the sake of a weak and divinely powerful incarnation with a slim chance of reaching the top.

After all, although he seems to be independent, in fact his mind has been strictly restricted by the anchored Supreme God’s ontology. There is no such thing as an independent survival consciousness. Besides, if the priesthood is divided and the priesthood is taken away, the gods will not die directly.

Since the red dragon Kasa deliberately gathers all the gods of this crystal wall system to obtain the position of the highest god, there is not much weak foundation here, such as the divine power Ogma, even if you give up the incarnation here, it won’t be much distressed——

Those who should have the headache are those guys with the pinnacle of powerful divine power and who know some secrets, including the dragon god Io, who always keeps an account in his heart. It is very good for him to suffer misfortunes and misfortunes.

However, even if even the existence of the incarnation can be given up, there are some things Oghma still intends to fight for-because he, like many gods, strives to maintain the original pre-God in terms of cognition, concepts and emotions. appearance.

Oghma still has a lot of things that he cares about, like the few petitioners in the kingdom of God who are promoted and converted from good-natured faithful believers, as well as the bishops, pastors and other subordinates of the mortal church.

In the process of being asleep, Oghma often differentiated into non-combat incarnations, walking and traveling in various planes in the form of an ordinary bard, maintaining the normal operation of the mind in this appearance close to the original.

This habit is formed in order to maintain one’s heart and avoid being corroded by the priesthood and turning into a puppet controlled by the priesthood. Many gods have it, just like Morrigan who stays in a dwarf city and gets drunk. .

In these journeys, many people who became attached to Oghma and were eventually drawn to the Church of Knowledge by him, unless it is impossible, he must always consider the future of these people who are still alive.

But this kind of thing needs to be mentioned euphemistically.

After packing all the knowledge of the crystal wall system he had accumulated and sent it to Red Dragon Kasa through the ancient artifacts, Oghma observed the silver-haired elf who was reading and analyzing the information obtained in front of him, and after thinking at high speed for a while, he probed He asked: “I don’t know what you think of believers?

“Although the most difficult point in the promotion of gods lies in the level of godhood, the divine power support provided by core beliefs is also indispensable.”

Cheng Bin was immersed in the analysis of the gift package sent by the God of Knowledge, and while translating it into the data in his own local knowledge system, he casually said: “Didn’t you discuss the issue of the priesthood before? The priesthood can not be directly matched. Does material change acquire a certain amount of divine power?”

“Divine power comes from the human heart, and there are some divine power feedbacks, but it’s just because my clergy is closer to the human heart,” Oghma shook his head. The end is believers…

“Furthermore, devout believers, especially those who are of the Holy Spirit level and who perfectly match the thoughts and paths of the gods, are very important support and anchoring points of faith for the gods who are separated from the material world. They are not pan-believers and shallow believers. Can be replaced by quantity.”

Oghma paused, and when he saw the silver-haired elf’s red vertical pupil, his eyes turned to focus, and he used his right hand without holding the piano to point a little in the dark void, showing a three-dimensional picture.

Cheng Bin, who paid a little attention, saw the scene where his believers were in the place pointed by Oghma——

In an academic hall full of wizards, Ivey, who seems to have jumped onto the stage, is slapped on the table while loudly refuting the magic theory of a magic net wizard on the opposite side. Laceira can’t help standing next to him. The embarrassment that gathered the next face.

——Is this some kind of academic debate venue? Ivey and Lacey seem to be having fun…

Cheng Bin, who didn’t care about these trivial matters, blinked, and withdrew his gaze to look at Oghma who made this scene specially.

It was also at this time that Oghma could see clearly the life essence of the Red Dragon Kassar’s only disciple. He couldn’t help but get stuck in his throat when he wanted to continue to say something.

——Mutated elf species…Red Dragon blood and…Slimes? The only two believers are so strange in their life essence. Do you have any special criteria for accepting believers?

With a dry cough, Oghma managed to turn his attention back to his own purpose. He said to the silver-haired elf who was looking at him: “It can be seen that these two believers are quite pious. After you become a god, you have been promoted to the Holy Spirit. Hope…

“The believers of the Holy Spirit level are the closest existence to the gods. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as eternal companions or another self. Their spirit must have a deep resonance with you…

“As a god, it is very important to respond to believers who admire yourself. I don’t know what your purpose is to become a god, but you’d better not let your believers down, otherwise the road to promotion will be full of obstacles-the true of mortals. The spirit is always like the foundation, supporting the existence of the faith in the gods.”

Next to the picture of Ivy Laixi, Oghma unfolded more pictures of followers of the God of Knowledge, explaining in detail some key issues in the operation of faith for Cheng Bin.

After listening to the information that was not classified into the objective knowledge package, Cheng Bin nodded thoughtfully-he probably guessed Oghma’s potential intentions, but he didn’t break it either.

“I think being the Supreme God is just to gain access to one thing,” Cheng Bin, who had compiled a huge amount of knowledge, glanced at Oghma, “I don’t need to rely on believers to help stabilize my mind, anchor and reality. The connection, the supernatural power only needs to be promoted…

“As for the requirements of the godhead, you can start with the devil. I already have the basic godhead for becoming a god. Other questions… only some details derived from the priesthood. You have to wait until you become a god to discuss with the god of magic. one time.”

Oghma, who knew that he didn’t need to offer the Godhead on the spot, let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t ask about the magic lady Mystra, but rather curiously asked: “What needs to be touched by the highest God position?”

But before the red dragon could answer, Oghma guessed the answer himself after a little recollection: “Yes… in the plane where you first came here, the cut of the world tree tender in the legend of the elves. Branch?”

“…You can see that thing?” Cheng Bin, who knows the potential of the clergy of knowledge, is not surprised that Oghma can detect this. Oghma’s priesthood is read from certain elves.

The knowledge spree that I just received actually contains many similar legends.

“No,” Oghma shook his head, “Although I have not specifically verified this legend, I have focused on the plane of the elves because of you before. Even with the vision of the gods, I cannot discover the world tree. What’s on that altar in the temple.”

“But it looks like you don’t think this legend is false.” Cheng Bin said thoughtfully.

“The legend of the World Tree exists in many crystal wall systems,” Oghma said with a smile, “and most of these legends are related to the elves and gods, although in terms of physiological structure, other crystal wall systems There are some differences between the elves and the elves of that plane…

“In some crystal wall systems, intelligent life directly refers to the crystal wall system as the world tree, while the gods are considered to be the fruit of the world tree…the scope is so wide that it even crosses the legend of the crystal wall system. , It certainly won’t be groundless.

“However, even the Supreme God did not come into contact with the world tree.”

“It’s okay,” Cheng Bin said with a smile, “I don’t really want to get the World Tree twigs, I just want to use a less crude, rule-compliant and special method to obtain some information from it, as long as the level in the god system is constantly improved. , Dig deep into the fundamental mysteries of the world, there is always a chance to touch them.”

After a pause, Cheng Bin said again: “After my purpose is achieved, the highest deity will not be that important to me. I can talk about many things at that time.”

A demigod talked about the acquisition and abandonment of the supreme divine position with a look of indifferent expression. If you are not the god of the gods, who believes… Oghma nodded after hesitating.

……

Under a certain magic tower, Ivey and Lacey appeared in a distorted and fluctuating time and space. The slightly embarrassed figures took two steps to stop, then turned their heads and looked at each other.

“Do you think we were kicked out?” In the eyes of the people around who were attracted by the beautiful scenery, Lacey lifted her hands and squeezed the slime mother’s cheeks and pulled them to the sides. “You will die if you converge a little bit. ?”

Ivey, whose cheeks were stretched to a weird appearance, said in a painful and vague manner: “Aren’t academic debates all like this? The knowledge of magic is very rigorous. The unclear beard is talking nonsense there, how can I bear it…”

“Then you just follow the rules to ask questions and tell me nothing, just ignore the venue rules and rush to the table to make trouble?” Lacey grumbled, squeezing Ivey’s face desperately.

“Hmm…” Ivey, whose face deformed to make the onlookers frightened, muttered, “Maybe it is the residual effect of the body change. After all, the original divine slime was contracted by the chaos demon. ”

“Looking for this excuse in front of the legendary soul mage?” Lacey glanced at the magic tower behind which activated the protection to isolate the entrance and exit, and said while dragging Ivey forward, “Can I still see it? You are purely Hold it in my body for too long.”

Ivey, whose head was held by Lacey’s arm, struggled a bit, and then took a look at the blind spot of the people around him, and directly restored his head to the slime prototype, and slipped away from Lacey’s hand and got rid of the imprisonment.

The shocked Lacey looked around with a guilty conscience, and found that no one noticed Ivey’s momentary movements and he was relieved—a slime is a serious monster, no matter how neutral the City of Knowledge is, except for the mage. It is also difficult to see monsters outside of his laboratory.

But when Lacey turned her head and wanted to catch Ivey and complain, she found that Ivey had been held down by the silver-haired elf who didn’t know when she appeared.

The eyes of the surroundings, which had turned from time to time due to the extraordinary charm of the elves, all converged back when the silver-haired elves appeared, and all the pedestrians passively ignored the elves trio in the corner of the street.

Cheng Bin patted Slime’s head with a strange texture, and Oghma’s statement about believers flashed through his heart, and then smiled to Lacey who came over and said, “Have you had enough? You have other things. Do you want to do it?”

Although Lacey Ivey felt very novel about the various things on the main plane, they also clearly distinguished their priorities, so they shook their heads and said that there was nothing to do.

Cheng Bin nodded, and then said directly: “If not, prepare for it. We are going to hold the ceremony of becoming a god.”

Lacey Ivey subconsciously followed a little bit, and then froze for a moment-is this going to become a god? There are no signs or atmosphere…

Cheng Bin didn’t think it was a special thing to be a god. He raised his hand on Lacey’s shoulder with a strange expression, and disappeared from the place with two believers in one teleport.

……

Soon, outside the material world, at the level where the real name of the soul’s core was located, the invisible tremor instantly spread throughout the entire void.

——Which daring guy is holding the ceremony of becoming a god? He didn’t make any announcements in advance… Without the reputation and deeds recognized by the gods, thinking of becoming a god is not that simple.

The gods of the kingdom of God entrusted in the void easily perceive this familiar sign of godhood, and some interested gods cast their sights on the source of the tremor.

At the same time, some special beings parasitic in the void, as well as some moments peeping at the existence of the main plane and even the kingdom of gods, also turned their unkind eyes to the past…
