From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 10: Gods Don’t Go Their Way
In the library, Du Yuan found it difficult to suppress his excitement. If the venue was not so inappropriate, he might even dance.

In an old book, Du Yuan learned some secrets about the ancient gods.

Ancient gods, ancient gods, the most ancient gods, the origin of gods comes from ancient gods, because ancient gods are the first gods to master the priesthood in the Chaos Sea realm, or in other words, the first batch of priesthood evolved from the ancient gods.

In order to explore new powers, creatures born from the laws naturally shape the laws they master.

Thus the priesthood was born.

There is speculation that the birth of the second generation of gods was because some creatures obtained the fragments of the priesthood of the fallen ancient gods. Based on these fragments of the priesthood of the fallen ancient gods, the gods of faith were born ignorantly in this sea of ​​chaos.

The ancient gods have a profound influence on the entire system of gods.

Divinity is constructed by imitating the connection between ancient gods and laws, and priesthood is the result of the ancient gods' refinement of the laws.

As for the final godhead, Du Yuan was not clear about it, but the new gods boldly created the divine core by imitating the existence of the godhead.

The divine core will officially transform into the godhood of the new gods when they ascend to become gods.

This is a rather amazing innovation, as it allows every new Protoss embarking on the path to becoming a god to not have to worry about experiencing the hardships of building godhood.

But this does not mean that the difficulty of the other two items has been reduced.

Divinity is one of the three core elements of a complete god, followed by priesthood and godhood.

Divinity is the power of God. The more divinity you have, the more powerful you are. Divinity is condensed by countless believers.

The priesthood represents the authority of God. Only by possessing authority can one fully wield power.

Coupled with the existence of the godhead, the Trinity, a complete god can truly be born.

It's just not easy.

After being promoted to demigod, an apprentice god will condense a vague priesthood based on the expectations of believers. At the same time, divinity begins to be nurtured, and he officially embarks on the road to deification.

Afterwards, you just need to hone your priesthood and accumulate your divinity. When everything is perfect and you find that opportunity, that will be the moment to ascend to the throne of God.

But be careful at the same time, demigod is the most dangerous stage for all gods on the path to godhood.

Compared to an apprentice god, the demigod stage already means that you are quite extraordinary to a certain extent, and it also means that covetous eyes and greed will fall on you without hesitation.

The divine power you condense is the tonic that other gods on the same path crave, and divinity will also be something coveted by those powerful beings who yearn to ascend to the path of gods.

The divine body would be an excellent material for creating a semi-divine artifact.

Even the divine core, which is just the first step in its transformation, will become something extremely desired by some original demigods who are on the path to becoming gods.

The Godslayer would go crazy to discover a demigod.

In short, congratulations, you are now full of treasures but your strength is not strong enough.

In this situation, even seeking protection from old gods is difficult to avoid. As long as the priesthood you awaken is too rare and powerful, even new gods from the same clan won't mind secretly taking a tonic.

After all, power is most taboo to be shared, and the path of God cannot always be shared. Therefore, many new gods who have reached this point wish that their awakened priesthood is weak and useless.

Holding on to the idea that as long as I'm useless enough, no one will covet me, he also turned to other old gods to become their subordinates and seek protection.

This set of combos is used only to ensure one's own safety.

But if you do this, even if you become a god, you will still be the weakest god.

Originally, Du Yuan would not consider such a thing, but now, after having Xiaochun, perhaps it is possible. On the surface, he uses some relatively useless priesthood as a cover, but in fact he relies on the complete priesthood nurtured by Xiaochun to uphold the kingdom of God.

It was a perfect covert operation. As long as Xiaochun was really an ancient god and was able to give birth to a godly being as Du Yuan guessed, this idea would be feasible.

Xiaochun will not be the last spirit that Du Yuan will enlighten. Perhaps Du Yuan will have other little ones in the future. By then, perhaps he will be able to directly hold multiple powers in his hands and ascend to the throne of God.

Du Yuan thought so, perhaps because of the contract with the rat man, Du Yuan had some insights into keeping a low profile and secretly making moves, and he was ready to make a big move secretly.

He should be able to succeed. Hiding the priesthood he is nurturing at the demigod stage and hiding the fact that he is nurturing a pet with priesthood are two different things.

If everything went well, Du Yuan might be able to rely on his own talent and the little ancient gods that were enlightened to try to get his hands on those higher laws.

The essence of priesthood is law, and the root of gods is also the control and monopoly of laws. If you want to become a main god, then you must get involved in one of the nine laws of time, space, earth, sky, ocean, life, death, destiny, and war.

As for the rest, racial gods, regional gods, and plane gods, although they can also give birth to gods who can ascend to the throne of the main god, their positions are all occupied. Super races, such as humans, elves, orcs, and sea tribes are top-notch because they serve as followers of too many gods.

If you want to become their racial god, then I'm sorry, you will be beaten by all the big guys. The regional gods, the magical areas in the Sea of ​​Chaos that are capable of supporting the birth of the main gods, all have owners.

The Mountain of Light, Hell, the Abyss, and the four elemental planes all have owners. You have to occupy these places to become the main god, but the owners of these places are already the main gods, and in the Endless Abyss, even the main gods have to follow the will of the Endless Abyss.

There are also the plane gods. How should I put it... the ancestral land where the new gods were pulled into the Sea of ​​Chaos is a super plane that can support the birth of the main god.

But I don’t think anyone would intend to become a god here.

So after all, there are only these nine laws. Oh, and there are also justice and evil, wisdom and wealth, the four laws that have recently risen to a higher level.

As more and more intelligent races in the Sea of ​​Chaos identify with these four concepts, these four laws also have the foundation to support the existence of the main god.

But it is not said that these things originally have owners.

Moreover, as these four concepts were involved in the dispute between evil gods and righteous gods, it has turned into a huge vortex.

All I can say is that the road is almost wiped out due to the fighting.

Instead of stepping on these landmines that are bound to explode, it is better to start from the derivative laws of these nine laws and slowly plan out the nine laws. After all, the main god is still far away, and this is also the common choice of all aspiring gods.

But there is no doubt that matters related to the Nine Laws, or any powerful law, represent fierce competition.

It doesn't matter whether Du Yuan is planning to bide his time or to sneak into Chencang. There is definitely nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

There are countless demigods with backgrounds and connections who die every year, let alone a guy like him who has no background at all. Du Yuan doesn't even know how thin-skinned and powerful he will appear when he reaches the demigod stage.
