Did he become a legendary creature just like that?
Wood was stunned for a while, feeling the endless power surging in his body. It was a powerful force that he had never imagined. It was incredible.
He could not help but smile bitterly.
God's grace was as vast as the sea, and God's power was as great as a mountain. He had really seen it today.
In the past, His Majesty the Great Teacher had dug up the earth from the ground and turned it into a mountain, which was already a great magical power that was hard for him to imagine. But His Majesty the Void Mask, in just a short while, had turned him from a mere mortal into a powerful legendary creature, and he did not feel the slightest discomfort at all.
In stories and legends, the sudden acquisition of great power was bound to be accompanied by great consequences. For example, it was easy to go crazy, or it was very difficult to control, or it often needed to devour lives, or it needed to consume a lot of precious resources … However, His Majesty the Void Mask did not have any restrictions. He just casually created a legendary creature — and it was the strongest among the legendary creatures.
This was the power of a god … No wonder so many strong people wanted to become a god, no wonder the Great Teacher had secluded himself for hundreds of years just to succeed in becoming a god.
If it was for such power, everything was indeed worth it!
He was wrong. Sui Xiong's power, even among the gods, was particularly strong. And … the ability to create the body of a legendary creature had little to do with the "power of a god." It was a craft that Sui Xiong had figured out himself, and it had nothing to do with people or God's power.
Strictly speaking, it had something to do with it. Since his God's power had become stronger, Sui Xiong could use it to perfect the body that he had created. His work efficiency was higher, and his work was more exquisite and perfect.
This was like a master of craftsmanship. Of course, his own skills were excellent, but if he could master more advanced tools, he could make better work, which was enough to leave his past self far behind.
On the earth before Sui Xiong's time travel, there were many inheritors of traditional skills. With the help of the technology and ideas of the new era, they had reached a height that was beyond the reach of their predecessors.
For example, his specialty was painting. He usually came into contact with people in this circle. Among them, there were some people who could paint pictures that were almost no different from reality. In the past, no matter how hard his predecessors tried, they could not mix such accurate and rich colors. The scenery that they could paint was always different from reality.
This was the progress of technology.
Sui Xiong's level was not that high. Before his time travel, no matter how hard he tried, he could not draw such a realistic painting. But now, as long as he wanted to, he could draw such a painting at any time.
Great power, almost omnipotent divine power, was the best tool in itself.
Moreover, Sui Xiong's mastery of this kind of tool was constantly improving. This could be seen from his "work" — the body that he had created for Gerrard at the beginning was relatively rough. Although it was powerful, it was not perfect in many aspects, so that Gerrard's soul was affected by this body and became somewhat simple and straightforward, rough and bold.
Later, his technology improved, and he re-adjusted it for Gerrard twice, so that Gerrard completely returned to normal. Now, the head of the Knights of the Church of Void Mask, from the appearance, there was no trace of the "bald giant" at the beginning. Instead, he was a smiling and very kind, but very powerful and tall knight.
Right now, his technique could be said to have reached the pinnacle of perfection. The body he created for Wood was specially designed for Wood's soul fluctuations. Although it wasn't as perfect as his original body, it was still compatible with his soul to the greatest extent. Unless he was a psionic warlock who specialized in the soul ability, he would not be aware of the slight incoordination between the soul and the body at all.
And this body would automatically adjust slowly, and as time went by, it would be more and more closely integrated with his soul. Once the two completely fused, Wood's strength would once again increase by a large margin.
Unfortunately, the demigod realm was not as simple as strength. No matter how hard Sui Xiong tried, he could not create a demigod level body.
Otherwise, he had even considered changing the bodies of the high-level members of his church collectively.
Not old, immortal, not tired, did not need to eat, with divinity and infinite possibilities … If he could give everyone such a body, how good it would be!
Over the years, Sui Xiong had been a little worried about the topic of "aging, illness, and death." Of course, he was not worried about aging, illness, or death. In fact, he did not feel any signs of aging or illness at all. Maybe there was no such thing at all. What he was worried about was his friends.
From Gerrard to Palin, Rode, Snow … to Leon, Liv, and even the friends he met later, although they might only worship and respect him, he really treated them as friends. In his heart, these mortal friends were no different from the friends of gods such as Yorgaardman and Javier.
But in fact, there was a big difference between them.
Gods did not age or die, and they stood on the shore of the river of time. And mortals, no matter how strong they were, could not escape aging and death.
No matter what kind of life-prolonging method, after all, there was a limit. Old Rode was gradually approaching that limit. Although Sui Xiong provided him with an unlimited amount of life-prolonging potions, the effect of the life-prolonging potions on him was constantly declining. At present, a potion that could prolong ordinary people's life for five years only had an effect of three or four months for him.
Rode was also clear about his own situation, and often advised Sui Xiong not to waste the potions. He had lived for more than 90 years, and as an ordinary thief who had not even reached a high level, such a long life was simply amazing. And he was basically healthy now. Even without any life-prolonging potions, he should be able to live for a few more years, enough to challenge the legendary age of 100 that ordinary people could never reach.
"I have lived long enough." Once in a private chat, he said to Sui Xiong, "Your Majesty, you have given me enough grace."
What should he do after death? Rode was not worried about this problem at all. For him, death was nothing more than completely unloading his work and then moving to the Divine Kingdom of His Majesty the Void Mask to enjoy the peace and quiet of his old age. That was all.
But Sui Xiong did not think so.
After all, there was a big difference between life and death, a living person and a soul.
In this world, "resurrection" had a huge limit, which was that it could not resurrect the souls of old and dead. This had nothing to do with technology or ability, but some kind of "order." Sui Xiong had found some people who had died of old age to do experiments, and he was sure that even with his magic power, he could create a body that was almost completely compatible with those people, he could not resurrect them. He did not know why, obviously the body and the soul were compatible, but the soul could not be combined with the body.
This situation made him so helpless that he could not forget to change the body of his friends.
But … most of his friends were not willing.
There were various reasons, but they were all the same.
Sui Xiong was speechless about this, and he could only try to find an example to persuade them.
Seeing Wood moving his body, slowly adapting to the sudden increase of power, and falling from time to time, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.
He hoped that this example could persuade everyone …
