Arcaian had never thought that bacteria, fungi, and diseases had anything to do with each other. Because of the existence of magic in this world, the development of medicine was lagging behind. After all, it was unknown whether medicine could cure diseases, but there was no doubt that magic could cure diseases. Since magic was so effective, talented people and powerful organizations would naturally put all their efforts into researching magic. Who would still put effort into medicine?
Perhaps Arcaian was the first person in the entire history of civilization to use magic to assist in medical research.
With his profound knowledge and the ability to cast spells that could be considered outstanding among the high-level spellcasters, Arcaian quickly identified the causes of several common diseases in the laboratory. He analyzed the three types of bacteria that he named "Plague No. 1," "Plague No. 2," and "Plague No. 3," as well as four types of bacteria that commonly caused diarrhea and five types of bacteria that caused fever.
These 12 types of bacteria, together with nine other bacteria that also caused common infectious symptoms, were collectively called "pathogenic bacteria." And he was currently researching drugs that could restrain these pathogenic bacteria.
He was not a traditional scholar who paid no attention to the outside world. He had a clear and deep understanding of the value of his research. His research would definitely shock the world, and even the gods would be shocked. Perhaps with these research results, he would also have the opportunity to break through to the realm of gods.
The Pasteur family was the descendants of the high elves. This magical race created by the Goddess of Life had preserved a lot of precious information, including the introduction of how to become a god.
If a mortal wanted to become a god, he must first enter the legendary realm, understand his own path, and then transcend the mortal and become a god. Then there were two paths. One was to walk down his own path to the extreme, touch the power of the origin of the world, understand the corresponding content of his own path, and master its power. This was the first step into the immortal realm, and could be called a demigod.
If a demigod wanted to go one step further and become a true god, he either had to master part of the origin of the world and become a god of nature, or he had to absorb a lot of faith and become a god of faith. Either way, it was an extremely long process. Most demigods in the world were quietly accumulating.
The other path to become a god was to enter the legendary realm and make a discovery that no one had ever made before, or to achieve something that no one had achieved before. In any case, as long as the accumulated results reached a critical point, he could trigger the feedback mechanism of the origin of the world and give birth to a certain priesthood. This Divine Domain was specially prepared for this person who had made a contribution. It was a reward from the World's Origin. With this Divine Concept, he could skip the long Demigod stage and directly become a True God.
Throughout history, many people had walked these two paths of apotheosis. There were many gods who walked the path of demigods to true gods, and most of the gods came this way. The example of someone who walked the path of condensing a clergy was right in front of them. It was the God of Knowledge, Wor.
Of course, there were also people who combined the two paths and had the best of both. For example, the God of Spellcasters, Ymir Lamperus. He had made great contributions to the research and promotion of spells, and he must have received feedback from the world. He had condensed a Godhood whose specific content was uncertain. He had also relied on his own research and training to fully grasp the power of the origin of "spells" and finally become the great God of Spellcasters.
This method of cultivating two paths was naturally much more difficult than focusing on one path, but the final result was also much higher. For example, both of them were new gods who had not been apotheosized for long, but the gap in power between Wor and Lamperus was so big that it made people feel hopeless.
Arcaian was currently only a high-level wizard. If he wanted to step into the Legendary Realm, he still needed a lot of time and effort. However, this did not affect him from making enough results first. As long as he made enough results first, the World's Origin would lock this Divine Concept on him in advance. As long as he did not die, when he stepped into the Legendary Realm, he would be able to use this Divine Concept to become a God.
As for the problem of combat power after apotheosis, he was not Master Lamperus, who was extremely ambitious. He had never expected to reach the kind of strength that was comparable to the old gods after he had just become a God. It was good enough to be apotheosized. Why would he complain about this? He was either a madman or a lunatic!
Therefore, Arcaian's current enthusiasm for research was very high. He could already foresee that as long as he could fully improve the research on various common diseases, especially epidemics, make appropriate treatment and prevention plans, and promote the spread of these diseases around the world, at the very least, he would be able to become the God of Epidemic Prevention.
Moreover … as far as he knew, among the gods, there was no "God of Medicine" that unified the entire field of medicine. Only a few gods that were good at the field of healing had divided up the priesthood of "healing." For example, the "Comforter of the Wounded and the Sick" in the Human God System, that god with weak divine power had "healing" in his specific priesthood. And among the Orcs, the "Bloodthirsty Shaman" also had this priesthood … It was not uncommon for several gods to have this priesthood. If this Divine Concept did not have much value, or if the owners could not do anything to each other, this situation would last for a very long time.
However, if Arcaian could become the "God of Healing," the priesthood of "Healing" would most likely be unified under "Healing," which meant that he would be able to directly cut a large part of the original source of "Healing" that had been divided by the other gods, and he would have a great influence on the entire original source of "Healing."
In this case, he would definitely become a very powerful god!
In fact, Wall's situation was the same. This newly born God of Knowledge, the speed at which his Divine Power increased was simply astounding. In just over ten years, he had already advanced from a weak Divine Power when he had just been apotheosized to a weak Divine Power — just not long ago, when the first batch of graduates from the New Oriental United Technical School had entered society. Moreover, his Divine Power was still growing rapidly. According to the God of Justice Yorgaardman's estimation, he might continue to grow until he was at least a mid-level Divine Power, or even close to a great Divine Power.
"Knowledge is one of the most important things in the field of humanities. Since ancient times, countless gods have been eyeing this Divine Concept because everyone knows its importance." Yorgaardman once encouraged Wall. "The most important thing for you now is to work hard to dig deeper into the contents of your Divine Concept, strengthen the expansion of your field, and at the same time, continue to vigorously promote the spread of knowledge in the human world. As long as you do this well, at least a mid-level Divine Power can be guaranteed. "
Arcaian estimated that if he could become the God of Disease Prevention, he would probably be a weak Divine Power. If he could become the God of Medicine, he would probably be like Wall, at least a mid-level Divine Power!
When he thought of the position of a weak Divine Power, or even a mid-level Divine Power, waiting for him, it was as if there was a flame burning in his heart, filling him with endless energy. He wanted to crazily research without rest until he succeeded in everything!
If it were not for someone visiting him regularly and giving him appropriate reminders, he was afraid that he would really go crazy and stay in the research room. At that time, he was afraid that before he could become a god, he would first tire himself to death.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen in the end. When Sui Xiong arrived, he saw that a few people were trying to persuade and drag him to the bedroom to rest.
Seeing Sui Xiong's arrival, Arcaian suddenly became energetic again. Leaving behind those loyal guards, he brought Sui Xiong to the laboratory and introduced his results to him.
His most obvious results were the two groups of mice.
These two groups of mice were used to experiment on "treatment" and "prevention." One group of mice had been infected with various infectious diseases and was being treated with the drugs he had developed. The other group of mice lived in the bacteria that caused these diseases and were using the drugs he had developed to resist the infection.
Whether it was the group of mice on the left or the group of mice on the right, some individuals seemed to be in high spirits and basically had no obvious symptoms.
"Your Majesty, look, this is the result of my research!" Arcaian said excitedly. "The most important point has been found. Next, I need to carefully study these basically healthy mice, and then I can find the most effective drugs, and then I can find a way to completely defeat the infectious diseases!"
Sui Xiong nodded repeatedly, admiring the efficiency of his research.
However, according to his own impression, Sui Xiong put forward some suggestions for reference, such as cleaning up the source of the disease, eliminating the four pests, patriotic health campaigns, washing hands frequently, ventilating more, not drinking raw water, planning the living environment … and so on.
Sui Xiong's words were very messy, and he basically said whatever came to mind, very casually. Arcaian listened attentively, and his eyes were shining. It was as if he had taken some drugs that would become censored if written into a novel.
This conversation lasted for several days. In the end, Sui Xiong told Arcaian almost all the knowledge about disease prevention and treatment that he could remember. He did not care whether Arcaian could understand him or not. In any case, he just told him everything.
After Sui Xiong left, Arcaian was lost in thought. He used magic to record everything Sui Xiong had told him. Now he needed to spend some time to sort out the information and finally integrate it into his own research.
But there was no doubt that this talk had given him a great inspiration. Before, he had only thought that he had a good chance of becoming a god, but now he was sure that he would definitely be able to take this path.
Now, the only problem for him was how long it would take for him to take this path.
"Maybe … I will be the first mortal in the world to obtain a priesthood before reaching the Legendary Realm …" Thinking of this, this Druid scholar and alchemist master, who had always been calm, laughed foolishly, which was rare for him.
In the Kingdom of Decay and Plague, the God of Plague sneezed continuously, feeling a chill in his heart.
"What the hell is going on!" he shouted angrily. "Who on earth wants to plot against me!"
Unfortunately, as an evil god who was extremely unpopular, he did not even have a friend that he could talk to …
