GOR Chapter 440 Seize Divinity
(Two in One Chapter, Begging for Monthly Votes ~)
After Ares finished speaking, Du Wei fell into a state of deep contemplation.
So, this is the truth of history? Those so-called gods in the legends, those supreme existences, actually had such a secret that left people speechless …
The hero who had once 'saved' humanity, the one who had used the 'Spear of Longinus' to defeat the powerful Demon God, humanity's strongest God of War, Ares, was currently standing before Du Wei.
That voice was full of sadness and despair, yet it was still alive in front of Du-Wei … … This is a God! Humanity's God?
So, that's how it is!
So, that's how it is!
In the human world, only the 'Goddess of Light' was known. The Goddess became the only God worshipped by humanity and the only God that ruled this world. As for the Prince Charming, Ares, he was left here, sealed away for tens of thousands of years!
Du Wei thought about it for a moment before slowly shaking his head. "I still don't get it. Since … she had plotted against you and imprisoned you here … but, where is the Demon God? Why can't I see the Demon God here? Where did the Demon God go? "
•
After speaking for so long, it seemed as though the tens of thousands of years of grief that had been pent up within Ares' heart had finally found some release. His voice no longer sounded as sorrowful as before. Thus, this Prince Charming did not directly answer Du Wei's question. Instead, he asked Du Wei a question of his own.
"Human, let me ask you this. In your opinion, what is God?"
“？？” Du Wei was speechless as he looked at the silhouette within the crystal above his head. He pondered seriously for a moment before replying, "Possessing supreme divine powers, creating worlds? Creating living beings? Mm … in my opinion, the power of God is like a domain within one's own domain. Everything can be controlled according to one's will … then, creation or destruction, change or eternity … "
"No no no, that is not what I meant," Ares slowly said. "Let me ask you this. In your opinion, what is God? Or let me put it another way: Where did God come from? "
Where did God come from?
It was as if there was no definitive answer to this question in the scriptures of all the religions.
Generally speaking, almost all religious doctrines believed that God was the creator of the world. Everything in the world, the sky, the rivers, the mountains, the living beings, everything was created by God. But … where were the gods "created"?
It was as if the answer had never existed. Because it seemed that God was an eternal existence.
Perhaps, if you asked anyone in this world, the answer would be the same.
However, Du Wei was not. After all, he had the memories of his previous life. In his previous life, he was a believer in atheism and materialism. So he quickly said, "I think that the so-called God is not the existence that created this world … Ares, perhaps it is a little disrespectful of me to say this in front of you. But I feel that although you are very strong, you are not strong enough to create such a world! So, I think that the so-called God was originally just an ordinary living being. Only, you were lucky enough to obtain a great deal of power, making you stronger than ordinary living beings. "
Ares laughed. This time, he seemed satisfied with his laughter. "Human, no matter what, your answer is very good. Last time, Aragon said the same thing here. Indeed … we are called 'Gods'. However, the title 'God' is something that ordinary Gods call us. "
Then he slowly continued.
"A long, long time ago, when this world was still very young, there were already living beings in this world. There are all kinds of races, including humans, demons, elves, dwarves, orcs, and even some other races that you don't know about. As for me, her, the Demon God, and the so-called Beast God, Elf God, Dwarf God, and so on, in the beginning, we were just ordinary gods, ordinary humans, ordinary demons, ordinary dwarves, and ordinary elves. But later, with individual opportunities and development, some powerful individuals appeared among the ordinary living beings. These powerful individuals comprehended the true meaning of power, and comprehended the laws of space … "
Hearing this, Du Wei immediately remembered the theory of the so-called "fish in the river" that Bai Hechou talked about.
He even associated it with Bai Hechou. Wasn't this guy originally an ordinary human? It's just that he began to transform from an ordinary fish into a strong fish. He could jump out of the water and see the laws of the river in front of him. At this time, he reached the Saint rank. Later, he became stronger and stronger. Gradually, from a fish in the river, he became strong enough to walk on the river bank …
This was a breakthrough!
A breakthrough on the road to becoming a God!
Whether it was Ares or the gods of the ancient times, they had probably all experienced the same thing.
"In the beginning, when we comprehended the laws of space, we thought that was the limit, the end. But later on, some powerful individuals found new breakthroughs. They discovered that just comprehending the laws and knowing how to use them wasn't the real end. Gradually, some people developed to the point where they could change the laws, or even create new laws … Their strength grew stronger and stronger. Even after reaching a higher realm, we could live a long life! Their lifespans were far, far longer than those of ordinary living beings!
As a result, we gradually became existences that were revered in the eyes of ordinary beings. We possessed powers that ordinary beings could not comprehend. We possessed lives that were 'eternal' in their eyes. This was because our powers were simply too great. We had even reached the point where we could change the fate of many people by ourselves. This had even exceeded the scope of ordinary beings' imaginations …
"So, in their eyes, existences like us have become idols that must be respected and feared.
"Moreover, over the long years, ordinary living beings have experienced birth and death, generation after generation. "But we have always existed, this made them even more unable to understand and even more in awe.
"Later on, in the eyes of ordinary people, they mistakenly believe that we are truly eternal.
"Although we have great power, we are not the true existences that created the world. We are just ordinary people who evolved. We also have our own thoughts and emotions. "So, the powerhouses born from different races would still unconsciously take care of their own race.
"Gradually, those races began to treat the gods that took care of their own race as the guardians of their own race … Moreover, over the long years, everything became a 'tradition'.
It's as if we were born to exist, to be high and mighty.
And these gods also have desires. They have an evil side, a kind side, a vain side, and so on … "
"I understand, you are just humans. You are just stronger than ordinary people, much stronger, that's all." Du Wei said indifferently, "Then according to what you said, the so-called gods are just people who are more powerful than the sage level. Is that right? The so-called gods just have their own domain. "
"No."
Unexpectedly, Ares denied Du Wei's words, "This time, your answer is wrong. Do you think that just because you have reached the domain level, you are a god? Let me tell you, you are still a little off, and a lot off! "
Du Wei frowned, then quietly listened to Ares speak.
"Just as you said, we are just 'humans' who are so powerful that we have surpassed the limits of ordinary people. However, no matter how powerful a person is, there is a limit. Even if you can reach the domain level, you can only create your own domain and control everything in your own domain. But, how big can your domain be? A hundred steps? A thousand steps? Ten thousand steps? "
Du Wei was speechless.
Because in myths and legends, any god seemed to have the power to destroy the world.
"Unless you're so powerful that your domain is capable of covering the entire world?" After Du Wei finished speaking, he immediately shook his head, "No, I don't think it is that powerful."
"Indeed, it is not. No matter how powerful a domain master is, he cannot expand his domain to cover the entire world. So … domain is not a true god-level domain. "
"Then what is it that is lacking?" Du Wei could not help but ask.
"Divinity!" Ares's voice sounded mysterious, he said a word that Du Wei was not unfamiliar with.
•
Divinity?
Of course, Du Wei had heard of this word before, but the meaning of this word had always been vague.
Fortunately, there was a real god in front of Du Wei who could answer this question for him.
"When a person's power has reached the limit, we can only look for other sources of power," Ares said slowly. "I think that since you have reached the domain level, then you should understand that the so-called domain power, the control of the rules, does not come from the body, but from the soul. It is the power of the spiritual space! It is a type of spiritual power. However, no matter how powerful a person is, there is always a limit. So, the earliest domain master – I do not know who was the first to discover it, but in my opinion, it should be the devil who first broke through.
The way to break through is through faith and religion!
Using faith, using religion – in other words, using the worship of ordinary creatures. We take advantage of the worship and devotion of those who are most devoted to us in their hearts. When a person's heart is filled with devotion and fanaticism, his spiritual power will become stronger than normal. At this time … we will open up our domain and envelop these ordinary creatures who believe in us.
Then, you should know. When you open your Domain Space, everything within the range of your Domain Space will be under your control! The spiritual power of these ordinary creatures who believe in you because of their worship and devotion will also belong to you!
What we need to do is to use their power!
Collect the spiritual power of the faith of millions of creatures, gather it together, and use it for ourselves!
From the initial accumulation, as more and more are gathered, your power will become stronger and stronger … this is the so-called divinity!
Therefore, from this point of view, as a god, if there were more ordinary living beings that believed in him, the stronger, more devout, and more fanatical their faith was, the more powerful this god would be! Because the god's divinity will become stronger! "
Hearing that, Du Wei suddenly sneered and said, "Then, if a god does not have the worship and faith of ordinary creatures, his power will become weak, right?"
Ares seemed to have tacitly agreed. Du Wei sneered inwardly: Robber!
"This is a cycle. You open up your domain. The more power of faith you receive from those who believe in you, the stronger your domain will become. Then, your domain will become bigger. The bigger your domain, the more living creatures it can cover and the more power of faith you can absorb … like a rolling snowball, it will become bigger and bigger. What you need to do is to store all the power of faith. "This way, the power of the so-called 'god' will naturally become unimaginably strong. In comparison, Domain Realm masters are just at the threshold. "
Hearing that, Du Wei laughed and said, "I am now a domain expert. Aren't you afraid that after telling me all this, when I get out, I will use this method to increase my power and become a new god? "
Ares seemed calm and said, "You can't do it. Because although you are a domain expert, you don't know how to absorb the power of faith. You don't know how to build your own divinity. And this is something I can't tell you. "
"I understand." Du Wei seemed to smile, but there was a hint of mockery in his smile. "You are a group of existences that live at the top of the pyramid. The top of the pyramid should belong to the minority. Of course, the original existences wouldn't wish for a new fellow to appear and snatch away the already narrow space! "
Ares smiled. His smile was very calm. "Perhaps I would have thought so in the past. But now, after ten thousand years of imprisonment, do you think I would still think so? Human … "
"My name is Du Wei. You can call me by my name. Because when you call me 'human', I don't like it. It makes me feel like you are really a god … at the end of the day, you are just someone who is stronger than me and has lived longer than me. "
"All right, Du Wei." Ares seemed very calm. "Then, what I want to tell you is that it is not that I am unwilling to tell you how to build your divinity. Rather, this is a state of comprehension. It is not something that can be spoken about. You need to comprehend it yourself. Only then can you truly understand … words cannot describe that feeling. "
"All right, I accept this explanation." Du Wei nodded his head. "But you still haven't told me why the Devil is not here … does this question have anything to do with 'what is a god'?"
"It does," Ares said. "Now you know that gods are just humans. They also have human desires and emotions. So, you can imagine our way of thinking in terms of 'humans'. "
Du Wei listened.
Ares slowly said, "That day, she suddenly used the Spear of Longinus to stab me. My heart was broken and I fell into despair. Then, she imprisoned me in this Tower of Babel. "Outside … Osgeria and the elf, who are also subordinates of the Devil, were also imprisoned here. "The only difference is that they are only at the Saint level. The Tower of Babel is a domain and they are unable to enter. "Thus, for the past 10,000 years, they have been staying outside. They do not know what is happening inside. They do not even know that the Devil has long since left this place!
That's because after I was injured by the Goddess and locked up in the Tower of Babel, the Demon God and I were left here together for the rest of the time. We were originally enemies, but after a period of time together, both of our hearts changed!
"The one who changed the most was the Devil!
He was a powerful expert. He fell deeply in love with a woman. Then, he was betrayed by love …
After the initial despair, sadness, and pain, if it was an ordinary person, they would be lucky because they could die … But after reaching our level, even wanting to die is a very difficult thing to do.
"Thus, after experiencing a period of pain – however, no matter how great the pain is, there will always be a time when he gradually calms down. "Naturally, according to the way 'humans' think, after experiencing pain and despair, all those emotions would transform into …"
"Hatred!" Du Wei coldly replied.
"Yes, it is hatred," Ares said coolly. "His love is very deep and his hatred is very strong. "As for me, I was also hurt, deceived and used by that woman. "Thus, there is hatred in my heart as well! "Under such circumstances, when two men who were deceived by the same woman are locked together, do you think we will continue to hate each other?"
The answer was obvious.
Even if there was hatred between the two of them in the beginning, after being locked together for a long time, it would slowly fade away. In fact, there might even be a possibility of 'fellow sufferers empathizing with each other'.
"Then, by chance, we were able to communicate with each other. In the end, we came to an agreement. After the agreement, the two of us shared the same desire to take revenge! "
There was a hint of helplessness in Ares' voice. "However, in the end, he is still stronger than me. Even his heart was much stronger than mine … Perhaps it was because he had been hurt more deeply than me. "Although I also want revenge, I do not want to face her anymore. Thus, we finally came to an agreement … he will go out and take revenge! As for me, I will stay here. "
"Go out?" Du Wei's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, go out!" Ares laughed. His laughter grew louder and there was a trace of ridicule in it. "Although she had deceived me and plotted against me here, she had also left behind a flaw. Back then, in order to exhaust my divine power, she took advantage of my weakened state to plot against me. Thus, I was the one who set up the seal using my divine power! I was the one who personally set up the seal to strengthen it. "Thus, even though she had plotted against me, I was still able to figure out a way to release him! Unfortunately, I had to take his place in being imprisoned.
This was the only flaw in the seal. Thus, in the end, I released him.
"As for him, before he left, he swore to me that he would definitely take revenge … and one day, he would personally defeat that woman and bring her here. Then … he would let her have a taste of being imprisoned!
"I only have one request for the Demon God …"
After saying that, Ares' voice turned cold.
"I want her to accompany me!"
•
No matter how slow Du Wei's reaction was, he could hear the intense hatred in those words!
However, Du Wei could not help but ask. "Then, after ten thousand years … it seems that the Demon God did not succeed. Because I came from the outside world. Right now, in the outside world, your old lover is known as the 'Goddess of Light' by all of humanity! Moreover, she is still the only ruler of this world, the only supreme existence! As for the Demon God that you released, there seems to be no news. There are no traces of his appearance … even history has been completely tampered with by the Goddess. In the current human history, there seems to be no trace of the Demon Race's existence at all! If I did not happen to know an elf from the north who came to the continent, I would not even know of any mythical era in history! "
"This is not strange." Ares said lightly. "It's only been ten thousand years. You must know that after imprisoning the two of us here, the strength of the Goddess has increased tremendously. Even if the Demon God escapes from here, he won't be able to defeat her easily! "
"Isn't the Demon God the strongest god?" Du Wei frowned.
"It used to be." Ares' voice was somewhat helpless. "Because …"
After pausing for a moment, he sighed helplessly. "After she trapped the two of us here, she took advantage of our weakness to use her divine power to seize half of our divinity!"
Seized … divinity?!

On the snowy mountain, after climbing the 3,650 steps, Vivian and Aylu followed the Elf King Luo Xue to the huge square at the top of the mountain.
Looking at the empty square, Vivian could not help but feel anxious. "Mr. Luo Xue … Du Wei, he, he, where did he go? You, didn't you say, he, is on the mountain? "
Luo Xue did not speak. His gaze seemed to have crossed the square and looked in the direction of the Witch King's throne in the distance …
Aylu's expression suddenly changed. "Could it be … that they went to the cave where Teacher trained together?!"
Following Aylu's finger, Vivian looked into the distance.
At this time, Bai Hechou's cold voice came from afar.
"Elf, why did you come back? Could it be that you are not convinced of your defeat and want to try again? "
Luo Xue said indifferently, "Mr. Bai Hechou, I just kept my promise. There are still three days before the appointed time between me and Du Wei … I just decided to accompany Du Wei's wife up the mountain and wait here until the appointed time is up … I have no doubts about your strength."
Bai Hechou's voice was silent for a moment and then came softly. "That little Du Wei's wife? Humph, in that case, you can come in together. "
After a pause, his voice became cold.
"Aylu! You stay outside for me! Until I don't have any other orders, just stand there! "
(Everyone, writing this chapter today is really not easy! In one of the classes, I was writing with all my might when the teacher suddenly asked, "What are the requirements for a successful novel?" I was focused on writing at the time, so I immediately answered loudly, "First, it must be fast, and second, it must be fantastical enough!"
