Chapter 232 Quasi-Gods and Belief Grading

Chapter 232 "Quasi-gods and Belief Grading"

The moment he took the ring and dagger into his hands, Qiao Yang had the feeling that, unlike Dui Ying, it was even more different from Bloody Glory. There was a very big gap in essence between the two.

Although Duiying had already broken through the thin barrier after drinking the divine blood, and after being blessed by the bloody glory, it was no weaker than the third-level legendary weapon. But compared with the divine weapon, it was like a cloud between heaven and earth. The difference between mud.

This gap cannot be explained clearly, but it exists in real terms. It is not just a gap in divinity. Now that he has not yet become a god, he cannot accurately express it in words.

There is no doubt that these two artifacts are very powerful, but the God of Blood is a bit unlucky. As a great being who masters two artifacts (two daggers count as one artifact), Qiao Yang has nothing to do with it. The method, except being beaten like a dog, is that there is no effective counterattack at all.

Of course, in the final analysis, Qiao Yang has too many methods. Whether it is the abilities gained after being promoted to Legend, or the natural magic and void magic exerted by the Tree of Life, they are not powers that ordinary people can relate to.

To put it bluntly, the combat power of the two sides was not equal from the beginning. Qiao Yang had the right to turn over the table and stop playing at any time, but the God of Blood did not, so he could only passively endure it.

Therefore, his defeat is certain, unless the "Red Superstar" desperately ends his life, but... a small resurrection god is not qualified yet, and cannot recoup the cost.

Judging from the strength of the counterattack of the world rules, just a very small part of the "Red Giant" body invading the Endless Sea will have to pay an unimaginable price, let alone a situation where it can exert a strong combat power.

In short, the rate of return is too low, or even negative, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be no movement after stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Of course, it is also possible that he was frightened by the power contained in the one-hit kill. This is not sure. Anyway, He will definitely not have the idea of ​​forcibly invading the Endless Sea in a short time.

Qiao Yang gained a lot from this battle, a very big one. Not only did he get what he wanted, but he also solved the hidden dangers in Tina's bloodline, and even went one step further, pushing her into the realm of gods, even if it was still a little short. Things are not completed.

It is not that simple to become a god. For now, whether it is Sisonia and Marquis who became demigods early, or Tina and Guerre who later received full priesthoods, they all need time to get familiar with it. This power is the same as Oriath's original exploration of the path to the gods alone.

Many things in the realm of the gods can only be explored by oneself, otherwise the improvement obtained will definitely be quite limited. Thinking back to Oriath back then, even if it took hundreds of years, she would just make a wedding dress for others and die. Tao disappears.

While chatting a few days ago, Qiao Yang knew how Oriat fell. When she was about to gather the priesthood, the fruit of her power was stolen by a god. His god's name was Winter Maiden, and she had already ascended to the throne. on his must-kill list.

If there is a chance in the future, this thief will inevitably face Qiao Yang's unrelenting revenge. Without it, he will spit out whatever he eats, including the profit. Now, unlike in the past, he already has the ability to control the chessboard.

In addition, after experiencing the battle with the God of Blood, Qiao Yang also had a clearer understanding of how powerful the saint form incarnated by the god was.

If he is only close to the incarnation of a saint with weak divine power, Qiao Yang is 90% sure to kill him one-on-one. If the strength of his subordinates is taken into account, after everyone has digested and absorbed the harvest of this battle, even a saint with medium divine power will be killed. The incarnation is not without the power to fight.

Quantitative change is the necessary preparation for qualitative change, and qualitative change is the inevitable result of quantitative change.

Today's accumulation will eventually bear fruit one day in the future, but this is only an ideal situation. It may not be what will happen when that day comes. He still needs to accumulate too many things. The road to the top is full of arduous tasks. It’s a long way to go.

The other is the distribution of the [Blood] priesthood and the [Vampire] priesthood. These two priesthoods were also unable to be used and controlled by Qiao Yang, so after checking that there were no problems, they were assigned to Tina and Guerri. They were the most suitable candidates. .

In fact, in addition to the racial priesthood of [Vampire], Tina is not indispensable for the blood priesthood, but instead of spreading resources out, it is better to concentrate on one person. The current Black Candle Fleet does not lack strong people; The top powerful ones are, to be precise, gods.

Although Fu possesses fighting power at the level of a god, she is ultimately unstable. It will definitely be too late for her to grow up.

Considering the above, what else is more direct and effective than creating a god with at least weak divine power in a short period of time? Tina was the natural choice for this choice. With the mastery of [Blood] and [Blood] priesthood, she would definitely be able to successfully become a god in the fastest time.

In Qiao Yang's expectation, the first true god under his command is most likely to be Tina. Even Sisonia, who became a demigod earlier, will most likely not be as fast as her.

Not to mention, even now Tina's strength has grown greatly. When she fully masters the field and the priesthood, she can be called a quasi-god. At this point, she is only one step away from becoming a true god. , that is, believers who can provide faith.

It only takes ten fanatic believers and about three digits of devout believers to successfully become a god and be recognized by the rules of the world.

This condition seems easy, but in fact it is not.

Believers of gods are divided into five levels. From high to low, they are saints, fanatics, devout believers, true believers and pan-believers. Pan-believers are also called false believers. They are probably like ordinary people doing a Before doing something that requires luck, you will pray to more than one great being in myths and legends.

This kind of prayer will basically not bring any power of faith. Even if it does, it will be full of impurities and cannot be used at all, let alone collected and transformed into divinity.

The next step is true believers. This group of believers is the backbone of belief in the deity sect. The gods they believe in are basically a single deity, and there are no more than two at most.

Not only do I go to the church every week to pray, but I also actively participate in the activities held by the church, and in the process generate a quality of faith that provides strength to the gods.

Of course, true believers often get certain benefits from prayer activities, maybe money, free treatment, or some low-concentration holy water and other items. In short, these believers will not get lost because of trivial matters. Give up faith.

Then there are the devout believers. At this level, they are basically either armed forces cultivated by the church since childhood, or they worship the gods from the heart. They have one and only one belief. In addition to completing basic church activities, they will also contribute to the development of the church. Work hard.

In addition to their own lives, the daily activities of devout believers spend most of their time engaged in activities to promote the belief in gods. In fact, they are often middle- and high-level members of the church, have a high social status, and are even powerful professionals. .

Even if the place where the church is located is attacked by hostile forces, the church leaders will not give up these devout believers easily. After all, the power of faith produced by a devout believer every day is enough to compare with a hundred true believers. Each one is a valuable property of the gods.

Even if they die unexpectedly, after death, their souls will not automatically merge into the River Styx. Instead, they will be led to the Kingdom of God by the divine attendants or the gods themselves, and they will be both prosperous and harmed by the Kingdom of God.

Of course, most of this activity is carried out by divine attendants. Unless there are special circumstances, the gods will not show such obvious grace to a single believer.

That’s right, grace!

For believers, if they can be personally received by gods after death, they will even be promoted to saints in a short period of time. However, this probability is extremely low.

However, the power of faith provided by a saint every day is thousands of times more than that of a devout believer, both in quality and quantity, and his own combat power is also quite good, enough to become the spokesperson of the gods.

It sounds good, but in fact, it takes divine power to attract the souls of believers. Even if you are lucky enough to encounter this probability, the gods may not be very happy, because it takes at least two hundred to break even. Five hundred years, it varies from person to person. They prefer that their believers will have become saints when they ascend.

The penultimate one is the fanatic believer. What is fanaticism? It means that you don’t care about anything except faith. The only accurate description is crazy, vivid and complete crazy!

Even the proportion of such believers in the Church of God is quite low. Perhaps one thousand devout believers may not give birth to a fanatic believer.

But not only are they powerful, they will also protect the dignity of the gods at all costs. If you have to choose an appropriate term, it is a dead warrior.

These believers may not see anything unusual at ordinary times, but once it comes to their beliefs, you will see a body that is even worse than the abyss demon.

There once was a fanatical believer of the Goddess of Agriculture. His wife and children were cut into thumb-sized pieces by the fanatic believer with a grass-cutting farm tool just for discussing some flaws in the doctrine in private. The wife and children He is also a believer in the Goddess of Agriculture, which is ironic because fanatical believers have lost their humanity.

It is said that the priests of the later goddess of agriculture couldn't help but vomited on the ground after seeing that scene. The scene was very tragic at one time.

As for the final result, it is not clear. It was probably handled internally by the Agricultural Church. I don’t know the detailed information given to it, because it is considered a stain on the gods and cannot be publicized. Moreover, the goddess of agriculture is still lawful and neutral. The gods of the camp can only be said to understand everything.

Then there are the saints, who are the most special existence among all believers. Not only do they have a closer connection with the gods, they also retain their own will and will never betray the gods they believe in no matter what.

Saints have the most lofty status in the Church of the Gods and are also the true spokespersons of the Gods. Moreover, the saints are also very powerful. They all start as high-level legends at the lowest level. Enemies of the same level are not their opponents at all.

The most important thing is that saints have the authority to communicate directly with gods no matter when and where they are, which is also a symbol of power and strength.

And unlike the Son of God, who is the descending and resurrected body of a god, the saint has the patience to fully withstand the advent of the incarnation of the god, and will also receive a large number of benefits after each advent. There is an essential difference between the two.

Every saint is the most precious property of the gods. They are the speakers of the gods and the agents of the gods in the material plane.

If the gods are not there, seeing the saints is like seeing the gods in person.

This sentence is enough to prove the gold content of the saints.

…

…

As mentioned earlier, there is more than one way to become a god, but belief in becoming a god is definitely the fastest.

If you don't want to be limited by the power of faith, you can also choose to become an ancient god.

The path of the ancient gods is not impossible to copy, but it takes too long. Only by completely controlling a law can one become an ancient god who does not need the power of faith to maintain, and that is only the qualification.

Just think about the four ancient gods of the elements. They are all masters of a powerful plane. Correspondingly, only a complete world can support an ancient god. So far, the four elements The plane is still one of the forbidden areas for professionals.

Therefore, this path is not realistic for Qiao Yang. It is to abandon the near and seek the far. Instead of studying how to control the laws, it is more realistic to think about how to attract believers. Moreover, belief in gods does not mean weak. On the contrary, once the number of believers increases, , to support the divine power, the actual combat power is no weaker than that of the ancient gods.

For a specific example, you can refer to the Lord of Radiance. His followers are spread across the multiverse. If we say who among the gods is closest to the great divine power, then it must be him. A large enough belief cluster has pushed him to a realm that ordinary gods cannot look up to. .

Now that the God of Blood is dead, apart from Qiao Yang himself, Tina and Guerui have received almost half of His legacy. It can be said that both of them are now qualified to become gods.

But the problem is that there are too many prerequisites to prepare for a god-canonization ceremony, and qualified believers are only one of them. There are also the choice of the church, a stable backing, attractive enough doctrines, how to expand influence, etc. .

If all the above preparations are complete, then it is not difficult to attract enough believers. The world is so big, and there are countless beings with no faith and pan-faith. As long as you win a small part, you can create a powerful statue. gods.

But there is good news at the moment. Tina and Guerre are actually not completely new gods. Whether it is the [blood] priesthood or the [vampire] priesthood, they actually have a large base of believers.

This is due to the accumulation of the former Blood God and Vampire God. As the successors, they will definitely be able to eat a bite of leftover rice. As long as they are stir-fried again, it will be new rice.

What Qiao Yang has to do now is to bring together the believers of the previous generation of gods, and many troubles will be solved without having to build something from scratch.
