Chapter 8 Lathander, the true god from other universes
"How long will it take for this ceremony to be completed?"
"At this rate, it will take a month or two. There is no need to wait here forever. Let's go back first."
After observing for a long time, Helen determined that there was no problem with the ceremony, took her husband's hand and left together.
Even with Ren's blood and star power as a catalyst, the blood energy in the Blood Queen's body is too huge, and the ritual is destined to be impossible to complete in a short time. This time is already considered fast.
And even if the blood energy purification is completed, only half of the "god-making plan" has been completed.
Separate souls, carriers of positive and negative poles, old bodies, trinity, building a triangular balance of the force and soul, orderly purification and circulation of power, refining divinity...these steps are just the foundation.
Next, you have to ignite the divine fire, synthesize the divine personality, spread the faith, build the priesthood and the divine kingdom... before you can be promoted to the sixth level of true god.
It’s okay if you don’t do this. You can take other paths and become an existence equal to the true God.
But no matter how we develop, the foundation must be laid solidly.
The body, soul, domain and force must be polished to perfection and flawless in order to successfully break through.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that the promotion will fail and turn into ashes.
There have been countless bloody lessons like this before, and even heroes like "Storm God" Louis, who created an era, fell on the "second path".
Thinking of this, Helen sighed in her heart.
Finally, she looked expectantly at the coffin in the center of the bloody tornado on the altar, glanced at the sun and the moon, then took her husband's hand and returned to the Duke's mansion on the surface through the underground passage.
hope everything is fine.
All beginnings are hard.
There is no precedent, it is more difficult to open up a new path and start from scratch.
If the Blood Queen can succeed, with her case, others will not have to go through this trouble again, and the steps will be much simpler.
Thousands of years ago, demons ruled the earth, and there were no fifth-level saints among humans.
But after the first human saint appeared, other saints sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The path to the sixth level is more difficult, but as long as someone succeeds in it, other saints can see some hope.
…………
Faroran Kingdom, central part, Merova City.
The next day, the morning light broke the night, and the whistles installed on the steam boilers in the stations and factories woke up the sleeping city like shrill trumpets.
Workers who work from 5 to 9 have started another busy day. Every corner of the city is full of noise, and the streets are gradually becoming busy with traffic.
In the small villa of the Ackerman family, Lane was wearing pajamas, his body and hair glowing with light golden light, sitting cross-legged on the bed in a meditative posture.
Once you enter the legendary realm, your physique is no longer human, and you generally don't need to sleep at night. Most fifth-level saints spend their nights meditating, sitting quietly, or practicing breathing in and out of the force.
Of course, these are singles or ascetics, people with no nightlife.
If you want to enjoy it, the life of a mid- to high-level transcendent can naturally be very nourishing.
Ren is not a bachelor, nor is he a ascetic. When Kesha is at home, he will spend half the night making love with her every day.
It's a pity that the beauty is not here, so he can only meditate and practice hard all night.
Although he can also secretly go out to have fun, clubs, young models, foot baths, health care, etc., but once such a thing is discovered, not even Kesha, even the cheap sister will not let him go lightly...
Ren's body glowed with golden light, and the tens of thousands of orifices in his body shone like a galaxy, like whirlpools, constantly pulling, swallowing and refining the chaotic force floating in the void, and finally absorbed it into his body.
The throughput was very large, and the fluctuations in the Force were already apparent, forming cyclones of bluish light waves within a few meters around him.
Seeing a ray of golden morning light pouring in through the window, Ren stopped practicing, all the orifices in his body fell silent, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Yes, he felt that he was close to level 27 and could upgrade within a month.
The fifth level is level 26-30.
The higher the level, the more likely he is to kill Prince Christian. The latter is at the peak of level 30, and even has one foot on the fifth level, which is quite tricky.
"Today is another day full of energy."
Ren put on his coat happily, left the bedroom, washed briefly, then went straight to the kitchen and started making breakfast.
After he put the ham and egg sandwich, grilled bacon, and milk on the table, he saw Arturia walking in from the front yard holding a stack of today's newspapers.
She was reading the newspaper while walking, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she seemed unhappy.
Ren sat on the dining table, picked up the cup with fresh milk, and said, "What's wrong?"
"look by youself."
Artoria handed him the newspaper and sat down, with a look of anger on her face.
"Shocked, Baron Ackermann turned out to be a turtle"
"Count Ange once again publicly mocked Master Ackerman, calling him a cowardless rat"
"With a sky-high bounty of 500,000 gold coins on his back, Baron Ackermann, the top genius of the Kingdom of Falorland, dared not go out and hunkered down in the city for nearly three months."
"The spokesperson of the Witcher Association Headquarters said: Master Ackerman did not apply for assistance from the Association Headquarters"
Lane browsed these newspapers that attacked and mocked him, not angry, but always smiling.
He is wanted.
The incident happened about three months ago. Seven underground gray organizations, including the Eternal Sect, the Twilight Witch Coven, the Shadow Singers, the Night Clowns and the Ring of Ouroboros, jointly placed a bounty on him.
The reward amount is as high as 500,000 gold coins.
This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and the news quickly spread throughout the kingdom through various channels.
What is the concept of 500,000 gold coins?
When Renn was still at level four, his liquidity never exceeded 50,000 gold coins.
He had a medium-sized security company under his command, and it was not difficult for him to make money quickly. Even so, he still couldn't come up with 50,000 gold coins at that time unless he was willing to sell the precious resources he collected.
For a person who practices from level one to level five, as long as he does not fail to advance to a higher level many times, the total value of resources consumed will generally not exceed 200,000 gold coins.
One can imagine what kind of wealth 500,000 gold coins is.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Renne just killed Mahat, the Grand Duke of the Blood Tribe. Not counting the storage ring, the blood core + bat wings can be sold for 25,000 gold coins.
appearance.
Those are the two most valuable materials of a dark archduke!
If Ren was an extraordinary person who was working in an underground organization, and given him 500,000 gold coins, he would dare to assassinate the king and queen of the Kingdom of Falorland.
"I didn't expect that more than two months have passed and there are still so many old and new friends who are thinking about me and paying attention to me. It's really an honor."
Ren said with a smile.
"You can still laugh, and the public opinion is like this." Artoria couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
The sky-high price bounty was a sensation at the time, but could it still be a sensation for more than two months?
Nowadays, we can still see so much news about Black Lane in the newspapers. It is obvious that someone is trying to get rid of him.
Ren's heart arose with murderous intent, but he did not become angry and said with a smile:
"There is no way. The rise of any new force will inevitably offend the interests of some old forces. Besides, Count Ange and the others were right. I have been a coward for a while."
He consumed mission points and started the dungeon mission in advance. In fact, he was somewhat forced to do so.
He was level 18 before, the fourth level of peak strength. It is still difficult to break the game with this kind of strength, and the risk is slightly higher.
He didn't think twice about asking for help from the Witcher Association headquarters. He might as well fight a dungeon.
Arturia bit into her ham and egg sandwich and said:
"After waiting for more than two months, I'm afraid the enemy in the dark has lost their patience. This time you will probably be assassinated as soon as you leave the city."
Currently, there are not even a thousand but eight hundred people in Faloran who want to kill Master Ackerman.
Lei touched his neck and said with a smile:
"Then come, I'm only at the peak of the fourth level, and a batch of dishes will definitely not scare those ghosts and monsters. Wouldn't 500,000 gold coins be delicious?
The great head is here, I have washed the neck and am waiting for it."
Artoria: "..."
(￢_￢)
This time, many people must be in trouble. A group of jackals, foxes and leopards thought they could hunt a tiger, but the tiger suddenly took off its skin, revealing a monk with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth...
The scene must be very cheerful by then.
After breakfast, Ren and Artoria went out and took a public carriage to Wilson Manor to visit Lucy Wilson.
………
Lucy, the "Queen of Sleep Talk", is one of the ten saints of the Kingdom of Falorland.
She is a relatively rare female saint. She is not only beautiful, talented, but also of noble birth.
The Wilson family is a famous family in Falorland, a marquis family with a legacy that lasts for thousands of years.
Wilson Manor is located at the end of Daffodil Street in the south of the city. It is isolated by a high wall. There are stone carvings outside the door, which are two lifelike red dragons. Through the simple and elegant bronze art door, you can see the beautiful scenery inside.
The vegetation is green, the rockeries are rugged, the pools are clear, and the water from the bud-shaped fountain shines with silvery light in the sunlight.
In short, at first glance, it looks like the residence of rich people, and the various things are not worth mentioning.
Outside the Bronze Art Gate, there is also a team of extraordinary people of the [Knight] profession guarding the place. There are 8 people in total, all of them are third-level Silver Rose Knights.
"The third level can only guard the gate, alas."
Ren got off the public carriage and sighed leisurely when he saw the team of guards.
When he first came to this world, he was only at level three.
Thinking about it now, Kesa and Catherine had a really good attitude towards him at that time. An imperial princess and the eldest daughter of a duke's family did not discriminate against his completely inferior strength and status.
"Stop, you are..." A guard saw the two approaching and wanted to come over to investigate.
The guard captain immediately stopped him and asked him to step back. He smiled at Artoria and Renn and said:
"It turns out to be Master Ackerman and Miss Kate. Please wait a moment and let me inform you."
"clear."
Renn nodded.
He and Artoria were regular customers here, and the guards let them into the manor without any further questioning.
Strolling on the white marble floor, with all kinds of flowers in full bloom along the way, the two of them entered the viewing gallery on the west side of the manor under the leadership of an old butler.
The promenade is winding and winding, with a lake on one side. The sun is shining brightly in the morning, the lake surface is sparkling, and many goldfish can be seen swimming.
There are also several blue-eyed black swans playing in the water, spitting out freezing rays from their mouths from time to time, creating pieces of ice floes in the water.
This kind of swan is a kind of exotic beast (an extraordinary creature). Of course, the degree of mutation is not high and it has no attack power.
The freezing rays they spit out are very fancy, but they can't kill ordinary pheasants. For the nobles, they are just pets.
Ren met Lucy, a female saint who had lived for more than 160 years and was still as beautiful as ever.
She wore a pure white silk dress, embroidered with roses and wisteria, with a slim waist and silver hair shining in the sun, like an elf in a flower.
When you get closer, you can smell a faint and charming body fragrance.
Ren stood three meters behind Lucy and took a few more glances at her extremely white and sexy thighs.
Good legs, the kind that can last for a year.
Except for being slightly short at 1.6 meters, Lucy has no shortcomings. She is as beautiful as an elf princess. I just don’t know why Charlemagne broke his contract and refused to marry her.
"It's really surprising. It's only been a few months and it has already entered the realm of legend."
Lucy looked back at Ren and Artoria, seeming to notice something, with a look of surprise on her pretty face.
"It's just good luck."
Ren smiled politely.
The Immortal Golden Body can usually perfectly restrain his aura, but what he shows is that he is level 21 and has just entered the legendary realm.
The same goes for Artoria.
It's not all about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. In just three months, it can be explained that his strength has reached the beginning of the fifth level. After all, there are many special resources and treasures in this world that can speed up cultivation.
But it is too exaggerated to skyrocket to a level comparable to that of the Prince of Darkness.
It's okay to be high-profile now, but it's not good to be too high-profile.
"Young man, this cannot be explained by good luck."
Lucy shook her head slightly and looked at the two of them intently. She found that she couldn't see through them, and she knew that the two of them might have something to hide.
Of course, she didn't dare to imagine that the two of them had reached a level comparable to the Prince of Darkness.
Even so, Lucy couldn't help but show emotion on her face and said:
"You are very lucky to have broken through to the legendary realm at this time."
"Why did you say that?" Feeling that there was something in her words, Ren's heart moved and he asked.
"If you don't reach the fifth level, you will eventually become an ant."
Lucy said with a cold expression, "The war in the southern plains is more cruel than you think. War is consumption, and fallen geniuses are not called geniuses."
Artoria felt awe-struck in her heart.
The war with the demon descendants is no joke, the battle is for the hegemony of the entire continent.
Even this local war, limited to the territory of Faroland, is a bloody meat grinder.
Below the fourth level, they are all cannon fodder.
Master-level extraordinary beings (beginner to mid-fourth level) are elites.
The strong men at the temple level (high level four to peak level four) are the backbone.
But before reaching the fifth level, it is still a consumable. Only by entering the legendary realm can you have a certain degree of autonomy in war.
Lucy looked at Ren with piercing eyes, as if she wanted to see through him, and said:
"You are amazing. During this period, the geniuses of the Church, Michelle and Raphael, the geniuses of the Demon Hunter Association, Chris and Hal, the Valkyrie Kesha, and the country's Princess Sophie... have all entered the fifth level.
, or take the path of totem and cultivate the Holy Body.
But they basically relied on the help of their elders or organizations, consuming some extremely precious resources.
You are the only one who seems to have made a breakthrough on your own."
No, I rely on the system.
With a humble smile on his face, Renn thought of what happened a month ago.
A month ago, the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Association sent a secret message, saying that it could provide some rare resources to help him enter the legendary realm. Even if that didn't work, it would also allow him to cultivate the Holy Body.
He refused.
Because there is no free lunch in the world.
If you accept the help of the Demon Hunter Association, you will immediately report to the association headquarters in the Nokman Empire and be incorporated into a special operations team. You will have to accept orders and instructions from high-level officials for a long time, without much freedom of movement.
Until you pay off your "debt" with meritorious deeds, you will not be free.
Both geniuses of the association, Hal and Chris have been recalled to the association headquarters.
Only Master Ackerman is wandering outside.
Therefore, there are even rumors in the outside world that Renn, a suddenly rising genius, has been abandoned by the Demon Hunter Association.
As everyone knows, the senior officials at the association headquarters are also confused.
Do you really plan to play alone?
After repeated attempts to persuade the association to no avail, the association had no choice but to give up.
How precious are the resources that can help extraordinary people break through to the fifth level quickly?
Even giants such as the Church of Light, the Steam Alliance, and the Demon Hunters Association, whose influence networks span across the continent and countries, can't offer much.
If you are not a top genius, even if you are willing to work to pay off your debts, the association will not pay you.
Master Ackerman actually gave up this opportunity, which shocked the jaws of many young geniuses.
Afterwards, Hal, Chris, and Michelle, who had some friendship with Ren, all wrote letters, asking him to reconsider carefully and not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If it weren't for the war years, even the top geniuses wouldn't be able to enjoy those resources.
Those were specially collected by major organizations. Fortunately, the "wave period" gave birth to a batch of precious strategic materials for fifth-level saints.
In peaceful times, these precious resources and treasures will not be used at all.
That's why Lucy said that Ren was amazing and that he could break through to the Holy Realm "by himself".
Lucy added: "You also missed the king's reward. In February, you did not go to the royal capital to receive the knighthood. As a result, you only received the title of baron without a fief. It is said that this made the king a little unhappy."
Renn: "..."
He was carrying a sky-high reward of 500,000 gold coins and refused the association's help and protection. How could he dare to travel far away.
I kept trying until the system started a copy mission...
Therefore, during this period of time in the outside world, many people laughed at him for losing his mind.
But that's all in the past tense, now, haha.
Ren's eyes were sharp and he said unceremoniously: "Now that I have been promoted to the fifth level, the fiefdom promised by the royal family should be given to me, right? I also need to upgrade my title."
As for the king being unhappy?
He is unhappy and holding it back!
The sword master speaks with such confidence.
In this world, great power belongs to oneself. There are many strong men who can slaughter cities and destroy countries. The power of a king is not that great.
Upon noticing his sharp edge, which was like a sword unsheathed from the sky, Lucy's little cherry mouth opened slightly, seeming a little surprised.
Not knowing what she thought of, she fiddled with her bangs with her fingers, smiled, and said in a kind tone:
"Well, now that you have entered the realm of legend, the promised fiefdom will naturally come to you. As for the title, it is not difficult to get a title of earl."
Only then did Ren smile.
Don't think that saints are worthless.
Yesterday in space, saints were walking all over the ground. At first glance, it seemed that all of them were at the fifth level. That was purely an accident. The impact of the "Celestial Change" event was so great that it attracted almost the top experts from all over the continent to observe.
That way.
If those saints were dispersed to the mainland countries, the density would be very low.
Faloran is already one of the most powerful countries on the continent, and it only has 10 saints, and Lucy is one of them.
The area of Falorland is 8 million square kilometers, which does not include some no-man's land.
On the mainland of Saigon, every saint is a big shot and powerful.
Even though Renn had only shown his strength at the beginning of the fifth level, he could bargain with the king without having to look at the other party's face.
"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
Lucy smiled lightly and led Ren and Artoria out of the tide-watching corridor and into a quiet study room in the Marquis's mansion.
She stretched out, sat behind the table with her beautiful legs with white and delicate skin, held her cheeks in her hands and asked:
"Okay, if you want to quarrel with the king, you can go to the royal capital. Why are you coming to see me this time?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "About the suppression of the world, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I can't use my strength. Is there any solution..." Renn said straight to the point.
"Okay, just get used to it."
Before he could finish speaking, Lucy interrupted directly and said, "There is no solution to this, unless you can eliminate the will of the world."
"No." Ren couldn't help rolling his eyes.
This feeling of being suppressed is like dancing in shackles, it's so uncomfortable.
Lucy shook her head and explained: "We are actually lucky. The suppression in this era has been relaxed a lot. In more distant eras, this suppression was hundreds or even thousands of times greater than it is now."
"A thousand times?"
Artoria took a breath of air.
She couldn't imagine how the seniors could come here despite such oppression.
At this time, Lucy picked up a thick history book and recited:
"In the early hours of the morning, humans and demons fought on the Morowan Plain... The Sun King took action and turned into a sun with a diameter of nearly 500 meters across the sky. The sea of blood was evaporated, and it was as bright as day in a radius of ten miles.
The ruthless golden flames ignited the bodies of the demons, and under the bright sun, almost all the demons below the Dark Marquis level died instantly..."
This is the record of the late Second Age, about 2,000 years ago, when the Sun King led mankind to revolt against the demons.
It was also the first large-scale war between humans and demons.
Looking at the two young men who looked thoughtful, Lucy closed the history book and said:
"Do you think the Sun King only has this strength? He has caused such destructive power despite being suppressed nearly a thousand times stronger than he is now.
In distant space or in a secret realm, he could make the sun's flames cover tens of thousands of miles!
Be content, young man, the oppression of our time is already very light."
Ren was speechless when he heard this, and Artoria also burst into laughter.
Compared with their predecessors, they were indeed very lucky. In the era of the Sun King, a strong man at the beginning of the fifth level could not destroy a mountain.
Unlike now, the fourth level peak can blow up mountains at will.
Renn asked again: "What about the abnormal flow of life force?"
Lucy glanced at him in surprise and said: "You are really sharp, you noticed something abnormal so quickly. I didn't notice anything after breaking through the fifth level, and thought it was a normal phenomenon until someone told me.
There is no way around this. If there really is a way, who wouldn’t want to live longer?”
"Then why does the consciousness of the world suck the life force of the saint?"
"It's not clear, but most scholars from the Natural School believe that He has not given up the instinct of reincarnation, so he has been collecting high-quality life energy."
"He hasn't given up on reincarnation yet? Does that mean he has tried to reincarnate before?"
Ren was shocked, and Artoria also looked shocked.
Lucy looked deeply, took a deep breath, and said:
"The first time He wanted to be reincarnated was in the third era, and at that time He was preparing to reincarnate by seizing his body."
"Who takes the body?"
Ren's eyes were sharp and his heartbeat accelerated slightly. He felt that he was about to touch some kind of truth.
Lucy put down the book and said indifferently: "The Sun King."
Renn: "..."
Artoria: "..."
(｀Δ′)!
I have to say, this is very exciting news.
The consciousness of the world actually wants to use the Sun King as a carrier to seize the body and be reborn. This should be a secret that only veteran saints know.
Lucy suddenly had a cold smile on her face and said:
"It's a bit strange, isn't it? When the Sun King led the slave humans to revolt, the demons were far more powerful than humans.
Even if the Sun King could fight, he would still be no match for the twenty-odd Dark Lords.
But every time, the Sun King can turn disaster into good luck, and mankind's luck is incredible at that time, and he can always turn danger into safety... Hehe, hehe."
This inexplicable laughter, coupled with her words, made Ren and Artoria take a breath of air.
"That's right, later scholars from the natural school believed that the Sun King was the son of destiny of that era, secretly favored by the will of the world... Of course, his favor had bad intentions in the end."
Ren's throat was dry and he said, "Then the Sun King was taken away by him?"
"It's better to say it's a body seizing than a fusion. After all, he only has a remnant soul left, but the Sun King is very stubborn and doesn't want to merge with him, even though he can directly become a sixth-level true god.
True God, this is what the later natural school said."
There's too much news today.
Ren and Artoria were silent for a while, trying to digest the information.
Later, they asked many important questions. Lucy was very patient and had a good attitude. She almost told them everything she knew.
But there are limits to what she knows.
She didn't know what happened to the Sun King in the end. She only said that he disappeared in his later years.
She didn't know what the world consciousness did later. According to the natural school, it has been silent until now.
Before they knew it, the three of them were talking about it at noon.
Ren asked the last question and said:
"The planet we live on is transformed from the head of a certain true god after his death... So, does this true god have a name? Or what is his origin?"
"It seems...Lathander."
Lucy looked thoughtful, and after a moment, she said, "According to the sporadic records in some ancient ruins, the ancient elves called him this.
