"I don't know if they believe it or not, but your gods of light will directly evaporate you." Nigris curled his lips and sneered at such a whimsical statement.
What is the favored one of God? Those are the people favored by God, and God’s eyes are always on them. Anthony actually wants to pretend to be the one favored by God? The first one who didn't let him go was the gods of light.
Anthony hesitated for a moment, looked around as if he was a guilty thief, and found that Ange had run to the side and took out a new bottle of sacred essence. Angel skeletons and little zombies followed him left and right, and ran away when they saw anything new. Put a drop on it and watch together.
"Oh, what a waste. You don't care about him. The essence of life. The World Tree only produces a small amount in a year. It's hard to get it no matter how good your relationship with the elves is. It's such a waste." Anthony said heartbrokenly.
In the past, every time he was reincarnated, the most difficult thing to obtain was the essence of life. Even when he reached the position of archbishop, he still needed luck in his high and powerful position. He often couldn't obtain enough for three to five years or more. Seeing Ange like this Play, he felt distressed.
A strange look appeared on Nigris's face, and he held it in for a few moments before saying, "Haha, I can't control him. The immortal godhead is in him, so I am under his control now."
But he thought to himself: In the future, the elves may not be able to obtain the life essence. The life essence of the World Tree belongs to us. If the elves use it too much, they will have to ask Ange for it.
This is one of the benefits it has with World Tree.
At the same time, in the elven kingdom on the main material plane, the high priest Galadel was looking at the collected life essence and said worriedly: "The increase in the life essence of the World Tree has been reduced by four-fifths. The God of Life has Are you failing?"
She asked about the situation of World Tree, but got no response and could only attribute it to natural aging.
"I hope this day will not come too soon." Galadel reluctantly pressed her forehead against the rough bark of the World Tree.
Anthony turned his face away, out of sight and out of mind. He turned to Nigris and lowered his voice and said, "I have been doubting one thing all these years. After seeing the facial cleansing surgery, I became even more doubtful."
"What's the matter?" Nigris cheered up. This was the Abyss of Rest, surrounded by his own people, and the wind of Rest was blowing outside. Anthony, the former Black Warrior Emperor and Cardinal Archbishop, had to deliberately lower his voice. Speak, and what you say will definitely be important.
"I suspect that the gods of light have disappeared just like your majesty." Anthony said word by word.
"Impossible!" Nigris screamed. When he saw Anthony rushing to cover his mouth, he realized and lowered his voice and said: "Last time, there were priests and paladins among the people you sent. They used The holy light can also cause additional damage to heretics. If the gods are gone, why can you still use the power of the holy light?"
"The Holy Light is still there, but the gods who dominate it may have disappeared." Anthony said quietly.
"Can the Holy Light and the Gods be separated? If they want to disappear, they must disappear together." Negris said.
Anthony pulled Nigris to squat down: "So I only dare to doubt that I can borrow divine power in normal times, but the power of holy light and the gods can still be separated. Didn't you say before that it is the believers who create the gods? Rather than God creating life, the gods are gone, but the believers are still there, so is it possible that the Godhead of Light is actually still there, but the person who controlled it has disappeared, just like His Majesty."
Negris frowned and thought hard, and finally said for a while: "Theoretically, it is possible. The immortal godhead is also here, but the believers are gone. You don't even know how miserable Ange was when he first arrived at the Temple of the Undead." , there is only one silver skeleton priest left, and the first believer was obtained in exchange for food."
"Originally, I was just a little skeptical and never sure, so they wanted to elect me as the pope, so I faked my death and ran away, fearing that the gods of light would see through it. But after seeing the Cleansing Technique, I had to face this possibility, because In the Church of Light, no new magic has appeared in more than a thousand years, and no one can define the Holy Light."
Nigris looked serious.
Defining Holy Light means creating new magic. What is magic? Magic with the will of God.
It is difficult to create new magic, but it is not easy to say it is easy. It is difficult to create new magic. It requires a very high level of magic and theoretical foundation. It also requires a flash of creativity and a profound understanding of God's will. understand.
But it is difficult to create, but it is not difficult to transport it. For example, the purification technique was originally an arcane technique for purifying water and food. After being transported into a divine technique, it became the basic magical technique for purifying heretics.
Moreover, after being transferred into a divine being, the threshold for casting spells is greatly reduced. No magician is required. As long as a priest or even some particularly devout believers can use this basic divine spell.
This resulted in the Church of Light being unfavorable in its spread.
In this era, no matter which plane it is, the biggest enemy of life is all kinds of diseases and famine.
Clean water and food are the best measures to reduce diseases. Someone once made statistics. If two villages with similar populations, one has clean water and food and the other does not, the difference in disease incidence between the two villages can reach Twenty times.
Even if it is a traumatic injury, it is easier for the wounded to recover if they are wrapped with purified cloth than with unpurified cloth.
So when a priest who knows the art of purification comes to a village, what will happen? The incidence of diseases has dropped by more than ten times. Isn't this a miracle?
It is difficult to create new magic. Is it difficult to transport magic to become a new magic? If it was difficult, why did Lisa create a new magic as soon as she met Ange?
No matter how difficult it is, if a religion with a population of hundreds of millions and millions of clergy cannot produce new magic for thousands of years, then the problem of the gods will be serious.
Either it's more 'natural' like the World Tree, or there are other reasons, or it just disappeared.
After thinking for a while, Nigris asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Nicholas will definitely be killed if he dares to ambush me. But I don't want to kill him so easily. I want to grab the thing he cares about most and then smash him to death with that thing, so I am preparing to run for the Pope, and in Before that, I need the identity of the God's Favorite, and at the same time, I need to verify whether the gods of light are still there." Anthony said while thinking about it.
"How do you verify it?" Negris asked. Although it is the god of common sense, how to verify whether the god is dead or not is beyond the scope of common sense.
Nicholas glanced at Ange and asked in a low voice: "Will Ange allow his believers to believe in other gods?"
Nigris thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It should be possible, uh, it will definitely be possible. This guy, as long as you are willing to exchange at equal value, you will have no problem with a few letters."
Ange has no concept of a believer at all. If someone else offers his soul flame, he will give back something of equal value, regardless of whether you believe in him or not.
"But the gods of light will not. Those who do not believe in gods are all lambs and need to be redeemed. Those who believe in strange gods are all pagans and need to be saved. Immortals and demons are heretics and need to be eliminated. I will believe in immortality again. If the gods of light burn me to death on the spot, they will not disappear.”
After finishing speaking, Anthony walked quickly to Ange, knelt down in the most obedient posture, and said piously: "My Lord Ange, I would like to offer my most pious faith and pray for your protection and your will. , will become the direction I move forward——."
A black warrior emperor with an extremely powerful soul, a super sage who has been reincarnated more than a dozen times and has climbed to the position of red archbishop of the Church of Light every time. His belief is no longer soul flame.
I saw a light and shadow emerging from Anthony's body, walking towards Ange step by step, until he was within arm's reach of Ange, he stopped and stretched out his humble palm upwards.
Ange tilted his head and poked Guangying's palm curiously. The light and shadow immediately turned into a beam of light and disappeared into Ange's body.
Nigris took a breath and murmured: "Lisa, come here and take a look. This is the real soul warrior."
After a true divine soul is dedicated to God, it becomes a warrior that God can drive. God will give it power and it will come directly when believers need it. There is no upper limit to the combat power of the divine soul. It depends on how much power God gives it and how much believers can withstand it. What a force.
For fun, Ange summoned the soul from time to time, and then input a soul flame, and saw that the soul solidified a little, then input another soul flame, and the soul solidified a little more.
After completing the ceremony, Anthony returned to Negris, and with his left hand, he sacrificed a holy light, and with his right hand, he sacrificed another holy light.
The holy light from his left hand touched Nigris, but there was no reaction. He could only hear him murmuring:
"Let's see now whether the gods of light will burn me to death on the spot. If so, remember to ask Lord Ange to resurrect me."
After saying that, he applied the holy light in his right hand to Nigris's body, and the holy light added damage to undead creatures, roasting Nigris until he was sizzling with oil.
Nigris jumped up and whipped his tail towards Anthony: "Zobada, if you want to try it, why don't you try it on a skeleton?"
