Chapter 1116 – Divine Origin and Humans Becoming Gods
In the claustrophobic seawater, a huge black shadow slowly paddled across the pitch-black waters, its dark green ghostly eyes gazing at the floating ship’s shadow above its head as it silently swam upwards like a ghost.
Bang–!
The giant shadow crashed through the surface of the sea, the waves rolled over, and a monster that was over a hundred meters tall, half bull, half fish, surfaced in the mist.
It looked down at the exploration ship that was swaying and drifting in the waves, its dark green eyes flashed with violent and murderous intent, and when that bushy palm was raised, it whistled and slammed downwards!
Clang–!
The soft murmur of a long sword being sheathed came from the ship, and a slash instantly pierced through space and landed on top of the monster’s neck!
Putrid blood splattered out, pouring into the dark sea like a gushing fountain, and the monster’s head was thrown up high, drowning without a trace as its heavy body slowly sank beneath the sea.
On the exploration ship, Lin Qiye sat at the top of the cabin, expressionlessly sheathing the [Zhenbai].
The rotten blood mixed with seawater spilled down from the sky, but it was all blocked by a touch of night color, unable to touch his body, his gaze calmly swept over the surrounding area, confirming that there were no more “mysterious” appearances in the surroundings, he lightly leapt down from the roof of the cabin and stepped into the interior of the cabin.
”Qingyu, how long before we arrive?”
”Not far.” An Qingyu said as she steered the boat, “From the route, we’ve already entered that section of the route that overlaps with Sword Saint Senior’s route, and from here to the mission location marked on the map, there’s roughly less than half a day’s journey left.”
”Already on Sword Saint senior’s route?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
”Did you find anything with your spiritual power?” Shen Qingzhu, who had been standing by the window and paying attention to the surroundings, looked at him and said helplessly, “The visibility of the mists is not high to begin with, and it’s impossible to discern the surroundings with the naked eye, so in a place like this, perhaps only your spiritual perception can work.”
”No.” Lin Qiye shook his head, “Other than a few ‘Mysteries’ that have been hovering around us, there’s nothing else to be found.”
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, his afterglow landing on the blonde man sitting quietly at the table, and after a brief hesitation, he still walked over to sit across from him:
”Elder Blazing Angel, have you found anything?”
Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception, which originally originated from the [Mortal Dust Divine Realm], and the rightful owner of this divine marketplace was sitting in front of him at the moment, Lin Qiye didn’t know exactly how wide the range of Michael’s spiritual perception was, but it was definitely far beyond his limits.
Seemingly remembering that Michael hadn’t seen Zhou Ping, Lin Qiye quickly added, “We’re looking for someone who generally likes to wear a black shirt and carries a sword case behind his back, a Daxia person who has stepped into the God Realm ……”
”I know who you’re talking about, I was on the moon and saw the scene where he became a god.” Michael calmly shook his head, “He’s not around here.”
Lin Qiye froze, “You saw him become a god?”
”A wisp of a sword mark was carved on top of the Great Dao, but any powerful god with a law would have noticed it. Not to mention that a mortal creating his own law to become a god has never happened before, so of course I would pay attention.” Michael paused for a moment, “In a way, this matter itself is a ‘miracle’, and as long as it’s a ‘miracle’, it can’t escape my eyes.”
Michael’s words immediately drew the attention of everyone in the cabin.
Lin Qiye couldn’t help but ask:
”Is it really that difficult for a mortal to become a god?”
Michael glanced at him and slowly spoke, “Do you know why gods can become gods?”
”Because they possess the Laws.”
”This is only part of the reason.” Michael continued, “In addition to that, there is another important factor, and that is faith.”
”Faith?”
Lin Qiye and Merlin had been to the High Heavenly Plains together, so of course they knew how important the power of faith was to gods, but this was the first time it had come into contact with others.
”All of the gods that exist in the world exist in the form of god systems, it’s because it’s only by forming a mythological system of their own that they can spread faith and obtain power from all living beings for use in increasing themselves, and every god system has a source of power used to collect faith and disperse it to different gods, the ‘god system origin ‘.”
”Although the ‘divine lineage origin’ carries the word ‘origin’, it is different from the natural origin born from heaven and earth; this origin is created by the gods of a divine lineage together, and belongs to the divine creation origin, and only gods belonging to this divine lineage can only draw the power of faith from the origin to increase themselves.”
”Do you guys know how the realms of the God Realm are divided?”
Lin Qiye and the others shook their heads in unison.
”The God Realm, in fact, doesn’t have any realm division, as long as one doesn’t enter the Supreme, theoretically, the realm of all the gods in the world is the same, but for these gods, because of the differences in the myths and stories that have been circulated in the world, there is also a difference in the power of faith that is collected from the ‘God Lineage’s Origin’.
The gods whose stories were widely circulated and possessed more power of faith were stronger, while the gods who had little power of faith were incredibly weak, and amongst the many divine lineages, the former were known as primary gods while the latter were known as secondary gods.
Main Gods and Sub-Gods, even though they are in the same realm, their strengths are vastly different due to the difference in the increase in faith power.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye came to a realization.
According to this, the Nine Pillar Gods of Egypt, the Thunder God of Asgard, the God of Trickery, and the Golden Immortals of Daxia, the Great Sage of Qi Tian, and the Erlang God …… whose stories were more widely circulated should all belong to the level of the main gods.
”‘Divine Lineage Origin’ is crucial to the gods of a divine lineage, once the origin is broken, the strength of the many gods in this divine lineage will rapidly decline, especially the main gods among them, for whom the true strength only accounts for fifty percent of their total strength, and the other fifty percent, almost entirely by the increase in the power of faith from it.”
”And one of the reasons why humans can’t become gods is because they don’t have the corresponding laws, and on top of that, it’s because they don’t have the divine origin to provide faith.”
”Without faith, they must rely on their own willpower to break through the limits, faith itself, and become a god system of their own……. Among humans, there are very few that possess this level of willpower, and those that can possess the qualifications to become a god are even more rare, and for Daxia to be able to produce a Sword Immortal is truly called a miracle.
However, the advantage of a mortal becoming a god is that his godly origin is himself, there are no other people to scatter the beliefs, so once he steps into the god realm, he will inevitably be at the level of a main god, and the strongest of the batch of main gods.”
No wonder Zhou Ping had just become a Great Summer Sword Immortal and was able to kill a Nine Pillar God with a single sword …… Lin Qiye secretly thought.
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to ask something else when his eyes slightly condensed and he quickly turned his head to look out the porthole.
”What’s wrong?” Seeing Lin Qiye look different, An Qingyu opened her mouth to ask.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly rushed out of the cabin and arrived at the left edge of the bow, fixing his eyes toward the distance with the others following closely behind.
Only to see that in the midst of the mist, a sea island was gradually outlined, and on the eastern side of that island, a sword mark was carved into the earth like a rift in the sky, almost chopping the small half of the island in half.
