Autumnfall.
The fleet docked near the Agate River was ready. The breeze by the river brought the smell of mud, and the slogans of the sailors came from behind. Søren looked at the distant Autumnfall, shook his head and sighed, and slowly said, "Let's set sail."
It was over.
Everything here was over.
After more than a month's delay, he finally sent all the believers he needed back to Modor City. Now those who insisted on staying in Autumnfall were not worth his time. As for their future fate, Søren was not interested in paying too much attention to it. After all, because of his arrival, the orc army had been hit hard twice in a row. Eugene had to slow down under the pressure of Søren, which indirectly bought time for Autumnfall. As for who was the real winner in the end, Søren was not interested at all.
Because he knew that the Time of Troubles was coming!
"My Lord."
An old man in a bishop's costume came to Søren. He was one of the few surviving bishops of the church, a high-grade priest with a profession level of more than 16. He humbly bowed his head and said, "All the believers have been sent away. But there are still many people in Autumnfall. If we fight for it, we may be able to persuade them to leave. "
Søren turned to look at him and shook his head, "No need."
"The power of the nobles will not sit back and watch us take away the others. Besides, a greater disaster is coming. I foresee that the gods will come to the mortal world. At that time, we will face greater challenges."
The gods will come to the mortal world?
Bishop Felwood was shocked when he heard this and murmured, "How is it possible?! … "
Søren looked at him silently. At this time, it was no problem to reveal a little about the Avatar Crisis in advance. Because there had been weak gods appearing one after another, it was estimated that many powerful legendary figures had already guessed a little. The impact of the gods coming to the material plane was quite huge. Just look at Søren's current ability. He barely reached the standard of a weak god, but he had the terrible power to slaughter a city.
When the Avatar Crisis really broke out, gods, demons, devils, and ancient evil creatures would all come out!
If there was a conflict between them, it would affect the whole plane.
"You may leave."
Søren waved his hand gently and disappeared in the blink of an eye. A god should not have too much contact with his followers. Otherwise, there would not be enough mystery. Although the priest in front of him was a servant who helped him herd his believers, Soran was not ready to say too much to them. After all, Soran could not give them divine spells at present. Strictly speaking, he was still at the stage of a 'false god'.
The church was left to the Psionic Warlock – Butterfly. With her abilities, managing a church was a piece of cake.
"Luoye City!"
Søren took one last look at the direction of Autumnfall and shook his head slightly, "The Divine Artifact has fallen into my hands. I don't know if the Gnolls will turn against the Orcs."
"No matter what, I hope this city can hold on!"
As a lawful evil person.
Søren actually hated the arrival of Chaos, so he didn't mind using his own power to make some changes.
This time, more than 20,000 people were transported away from Autumnfall. Compared to the nearly one million half-elves, this was actually a very inconspicuous part. However, Autumnfall only had a population of a few hundred thousand. Half-elves were very common on the road, and the number of people that a city could accommodate was also limited. If it weren't for Autumnfall taking in a large number of fleeing civilians, the population in the city would only be about a few tens of thousands. In this case, those who were willing to go with Søren were basically believers of the church. In order to transport them away, Søren used a lot of manpower and material resources.
But it was all worth it!
Because with the arrival of the Avatar Crisis, Søren's prestige may be greatly reduced. If the Sea Goddess appeared in the mortal world, he would not dare to say that he was the king of the sea. His ability to mobilize the pirates would certainly not be as good as now. After all, the Sea Goddess was the master of the sea. The terrible turmoil would affect the entire material plane, and the role that financial resources could play was far less than now. The later Søren's influence would be worse, and it would be much more difficult to make such a big scene.
In fact, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Because no matter what Søren did now, only other forces were watching. But in the future, if Søren dared to do so, other 'gods' would be watching.
This was a completely different concept!
A warship sailed along the Agate River to the sea. The half-elf first mate's dragon-headed warship had returned to Raging Sand Island. It was estimated that the first batch of believers had arrived at Mordor.
“MY-LORD！”
The slim figure of the psionic warlock with a veil appeared beside Søren. She bowed slightly to show respect, and then slowly said, "All the believers have been appeased."
"Telepathy has also been planted, and they will be very quiet on the way."
"The priests have all been arranged. The first batch of priests has been sent to Mordor, and they will help manage these ordinary people. Some of the other priests will stay on Raging Sand Island, and then they will go back with us. "
"Master."
"Although these priests are very obedient now, this is only temporary. If you can't give them divine spells, I'm afraid their faith will be shaken."
"I don't know what the master's next plan is?"
Søren turned and looked at her.
He had nothing to hide from the future chief priest of his church. He slowly said, "Although the prayers of the believers have given me some divine power, it seems that I have not fully reached the standard of a god. Maybe it's because I can't connect to the kingdom of the original gods. Under normal circumstances, as a god, I should also have the ability of a legendary priest. "
"But in fact, I can't use divine spells now!"
No matter what profession a god was, even a pure warrior could have the ability of a legendary priest.
However, the priest's ability obtained in this way did not consume the divine spell slots, but directly consumed the divine power of the god. If a god had a priest level, it was equivalent to having two sets of divine spells. One was the divine spell slots brought about by their profession level, and the other was the divine spells that could be used by their own divine power. Søren had accumulated 3 divine power points, but he had not obtained any divine spells. He didn't know why, but it might be related to the fact that he had not officially become a god.
The psionic warlock heard this and nodded slightly, then slowly said, "Perhaps my master should hold his ceremony as soon as possible."
"Without officially becoming a god, there is no power to control the laws!"
"In fact, my master, you are not even a false god now, because many false gods can also give divine spells to a small number of believers. You now rely on your powerful force and your own power to control the church, but divine spells are the foundation of the church. Priests who have lost their divine spells may still join the church of other gods. "
Søren nodded and said, "I know."
"But."
"Maybe it's not my fault. Maybe I chose the wrong time to do it. Don't you see that these priests are not too surprised to lose their divine spells? I'm afraid that more and more priests are losing their ability to use divine spells! "
"The stars in the sky are getting dimmer and dimmer."
"The gods rarely respond to the prayers of mortals."
"I'm afraid that only some devout priests can use divine spells now. I have a hunch that something important is about to happen."
Søren looked up at the sky.
He didn't know when it started, but the moon in the sky seemed to have dimmed a lot. It seemed that as the first batch of stars lost their brilliance, the moon also became weaker.
"Mistress of the Silvermoon! … "
There was a strange expression on Soran's face. He turned to look at the psionic warlock behind him and said slowly, "Maybe I can't give divine spells now, but if I want to hold the investiture ceremony, I must become a [True God] directly!"
"That's the only way."
"We won't arouse the hostility of others."
True god?!
The psionic warlock trembled when she heard this. She then bowed and said, "My master. Do you have the qualifications to become a true god? "
Søren shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"But I'm almost there!"
…
True god!
Divinity, Divine Title, and Divinity.
When these three elements were all sufficient, the time for him to become a True God would soon arrive.
Strictly speaking, Søren could become a god at any time now. But if he became a god in his current state, then he would be a standard [False God] because he didn't have the ability of [Minor Divinity]. There was a limit to the power of the gods. [True God] and [False God] were two different standards. One was the existence that was truly qualified to exercise the power of the gods, while the other was the foreskin company that was forcefully supported by half-baked people. The former could fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that gods should fulfill, while the latter could completely deceive and oppress the believers.
For example, they couldn't receive the souls of believers at all.
The Demigod Vampire was a standard [False God]. The power of his divinity was not up to standard. Taking the "God of Half-elves and Rogues" as a goal was to advance himself to the realm of a [True God]. It was also because he became a god as a [False God] that his church didn't love him, justice regarded him as an enemy, and evil regarded him as a traitor.
This was a very serious matter!
Because once he was labeled as a [False God], it would be very difficult to get rid of it in the future.
This was a stain that both justice and evil valued!
The prayers of believers were a huge amount of information. If the prayers of priests were added, the burden on the gods would also be great.
Only when the three elements of divinity, Divine Title, and Divinity were fully met could the gods really deal with all this. If they didn't meet the standards, they would become like Søren when he first came into contact with prayer. They might go crazy or have their minds completely distorted!
A false god was a false god.
It was like flying a plane without a driver's license. This kind of behavior was very disgusting in the eyes of the gods, and the consequences were much more serious than driving without a license. Most false gods would have some kind of distortion because of their insufficient foundation. Even if they succeeded in advancing to the realm of [True God] in the future, this stain would remain on them because they violated the rules of the gods.
This was the problem of timing.
When all the conditions were met to become a god, then you would be a [True God]. Everything was according to the rules of order. First, you would have the ability of a god, then you would get the qualification of a god. And if you couldn't wait, and if any of the conditions didn't meet the standards of the gods, and then hurriedly tried to become a god, then you would violate the rules of the gods and be directly labeled as a [False God].
Once you were labeled as a [False God].
No matter if it was a righteous or evil god, they would not like it. They would remember who challenged the rules of the gods. Even if you advanced to a [True God] in the future, this kind of feeling would remain in the influence of many gods.
Because they would think:
"Look! It's that guy! He forced himself to become a god without meeting the standards of the gods! "
…
Søren naturally wouldn't choose the path of a [False God].
This was a fundamental problem that involved the credibility of the gods. It was also the first impression that other gods would have when you became a god. Because as long as you didn't leave the first impression that you were a [False God], even the gods of the enemy camp would recognize your identity.
They would say that you were evil, but they wouldn't say that you were a fake because you were qualified to be on equal footing with them!
