In the western sky, a bright star appeared in the afterglow, heralding the onset of night, and the mountains on both sides of the Solna Valley began to darken.
When Lucian arrived at the agreed hidden cave, El, Francis, and Jacob were already waiting there, and after they had made a big circle and shook off the false gods and priests who were tracking, they actually arrived earlier than Lucian.
"Leviathan, why are you so late?" Jacob, who had a white beard, asked in a deep voice, and at the same time used a god-like technique to check if anyone else was following Lucian.
El and Francis also looked over with questions, this place is not far from Husum City, and "Leviathan" jumped into the river and left when the moon god Axin appeared, and there was no need to get rid of the false god and the priest's search, why was it still later than the three of them?
Lucian said calmly: "After I jumped into the Solna River, I was hit by the tides caused by the moon god Asin and failed to swim out of the city smoothly, so I delayed a lot of time."
"Yes." Jacob nodded, and he really didn't find anyone following, so he felt relieved.
El's face was slightly pale, but he kept smiling at the corner of his mouth, very high-spirited: "Although he did not kill the moon god Axin this time, he successfully deprived him of his divinity and shocked other false gods. You all did a great job, I want to reward you well!"
"This is our glory." Jacob quickly replied.
At this time, Francis took out a small laurel box from his arms, filling the cave with a faint fragrance, and faintly revealing a hint of magic on it.
This was what El gave to him and Jacob to collect the divinity of the moon god Assin, without this box, "mortals" could neither see nor touch the divine light, let alone collect it.
"The great 'God of Resurrection, Abundance, and Redemption', this is the divinity of the moon god Asin." To Lucian's surprise, Francis simply handed over the "divine radiance" to El.
El took the wooden box made of laurel with a slight eagerness, and opened it gently in front of Lucian, Jacob, and others, and suddenly, a cold brilliance like the moonlight shone out, cold and cool.
Without hiding his curiosity, Lucian focused on what divine brilliance was.
Inside the wooden box, a little bit of fragments like tiny silver moons are like virtual and real, as if they are far away and untouchable, difficult to really approach, and at the same time, there seem to be many vague things in each small silver moon, giving people an inexplicable sense of sacredness.
The fragments floated quietly inside the wooden box as if dead, occasionally showing weak contractions and expansions.
"Why is it a bit familiar......" As soon as Lucian saw the divine brilliance of the moon god Asin, he had a very familiar feeling, his memory flipped, and he began to try to remember where he had seen it before.
"You three are guarding me." El was anxious and ordered in a deep voice, if he hadn't been worried that "Leviathan" would attract enemies such as the Lord of War, he would have been unable to control his impulses, as long as he absorbed this quiet and peaceful moon god, he could restore his strength, consolidate and expand the priesthood!
"Yes!" Both Francis and Lucian focused on El absorbing divinity with slightly burning eyes.
El's right hand suddenly shrouded a layer of quiet and distant brilliance, giving people the feeling of death sleeping, but also like a quiet corner of the soul, and then with this light, he reached into the wooden box and grabbed the floating silver moon fragments.
A little bit of fragments began to converge under El's drive, and gradually, they condensed into a silver-white ball of light, like a small silver moon.
This silver-white ball of light contracted and beat like a heart, far-reaching and mighty, solitary and sacred, like a real silver moon looking down on the earth indifferently from time to time.
Lucian's mouth opened slightly involuntarily, and familiar memories poured out like a tide!
In the necromancy reflection of the Sphinx's mausoleum, the rusty blood-stained light ball floating above the Finks coffin......
On the inner floor of the Sun King's underground palace, the pale white transparent ball of light held in the palm of the statue of Thanos......
The pictures are like freeze-frame movies, so clear and so shocking, although they are different in color and detail, but the feeling of being high, untouchable, inaccessible, constantly changing, and inexplicably sacred is so consistent!
Lucian had a flash of inspiration, as if he understood something, as if he had grasped a trace of the mystery of the gods and ancient devils, but then Lucian's heart arose with even deeper doubts: Silver Moon Etna has existed for far more than all living beings, and the same is true for the existence of ancient hell and the abyss, where did they come from? The existence and manifestations of the seven ancient devils and false gods and gods are also very different, and what is the reason for this?
Have you fallen into a misunderstanding of your thinking?
"It seems that there are more secrets in the necromancer than I thought." Lucian sighed softly in his heart, and a small question surfaced, "Is this moon god's 'divinity' only seen because I am wearing the crown of the sun, or is it because of the laurel box?"
The silver-white ball of light slowly blended into the brilliance shrouded in El's right hand, making it slowly light up with a cool color.
El's face was distorted and ferocious, as if it was a very painful thing.
The brilliance expanded rapidly, enveloping El like a silkworm cocoon, contracting and beating like a heart.
After a while, a cold, arrogant, sacred and indifferent feeling emerged from the "silkworm cocoon", and the brilliance quickly converged, penetrated into El's body, and completely merged with him.
El opened his eyes, his pupils became deeper and deeper, like the starry sky at night, and his temperament became much softer: "My current three priesthoods of resurrection, fertility, and redemption have been significantly strengthened and returned to the level of the Afando era, and there are also two more priesthoods, undead and moonlight."
He was a little confused about what kind of god he should be called, not to mention the flames of Afandor and the priesthood of destruction.
"Resurrection and the undead belong to the realm of death, flame and abundance belong to the realm of life, salvation and moonlight belong to the spiritual and material realm, and destruction includes everything, so you are the master of matter and spirit, the master of death and life, but there is no need to bother changing the name of God, you only need to divide an incarnation of Asin to receive His faith, and change the name of God frequently, which is not conducive to the worship of your true believers."
"Why don't you restore the title of 'Sovereign Lord' and 'God of the Last Days' in the future, so that all matters belong to you, and we will emphasize this when we preach."
Francis was still moving El towards the "only and almighty" God of Truth, while Lucian silently observed and recorded, hoping that this experiment would explain some of the questions in his mind.
"Very good, this is my true divine name." El's eyes lit up with strong ambition, whether he was true or not, from now on, he fully believed in this and aimed at it, "I will deprive the false gods who betrayed me in the past one by one."
Obviously, the harvest of this divine fusion made Him want to stop.
El looked at Francis and Lucian with satisfaction and said, "Your performance this time shows your piety, and I will give you the 'spiritual seed' to make you stronger and gain a longer life."
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand, and a ball of silver-white and tranquil light floated on the palm of his hand, compared to the previous "divine brilliance", this ball of light was a little less untouchable and unapproachable, but it was still sacred and vast.
"It turns out that this is the 'seed of spirituality', the divine brilliance that can be seen with the naked eye after being transformed by the gods...... This is the source of priests' magic?"
Lucian probably understood what the "spiritual seed" of the false god priest was, but he was even more confused, this spiritual seed would obviously reduce the "divine power" of the false god itself, so the number must be strictly controlled, which is consistent with the number of strong people in the major false god churches in the northwest of the Dark Mountains, which can be preliminarily confirmed. However, within the Church of Truth, there are thousands of priests, bishops, and cardinals who can cast spells, and even if the God of Truth exceeds the level of Etna, such a separation of divinity has long become an ordinary existence. Or is His level beyond my imagination?
"Francis, you have shown great strength and helped me defeat the moon god, and you are the most dedicated of all. Although this spiritual seed can only give you the strength of a high priest, it can make up for the lack of your divine magic and allow you to adapt flexibly to different situations. You take it, communicate with it with your piety, and then you can merge it."
After absorbing the originally handsome El absorbed the divinity of the moon god, his outline became softer, and his eyes became narrow and long, looking very feminine.
If he has ulterior motives, then he will not dare to absorb the spiritual seed, because in this way, if his faith is shaken and he wants to betray in the future, he will be devoured by the spiritual seed and his body will be devoured.
"After absorbing this spiritual seed, you will probably have a level six god-like strength......" Lucian's eyes lowered, paying attention to Francis' reaction, what means would he use to avoid this problem?
"My piety is no worse than that of anyone else." Francis smiled and took the spiritual seed, held it in his palm, and then whispered the prayer of the god El.
Soon, the seed of spirituality vibrated gently, making a buzzing sound and blending into Francis' palm, making him exude a divine and solemn aura.
Lucian's mouth was half open, he, he absorbed the seeds of spirituality like this?
Don't joke? How could he be devout in El! He is not worried about the devouring of spiritual seeds?
Or did he have a way to avoid it?
In Lucian's heart, Francis became even more mysterious, as if he held many secrets just like himself.
"Leviathan, you are smart and rational, sharp and brave, and have made great dedication, this is your spiritual seed, it will allow you to gain the strength of an ordinary god's blood hero." El was very satisfied with Francis' piety, unexpectedly satisfied, and then condensed a silver-white "spiritual seed" again, much weaker than the one he had just given to Francis.
Compared to Lucian, who only showed the ability to talk with his mouth, Francis, who was superior in strength, was obviously more valued.
This time, the bystander was replaced by Francis, who smiled and watched Lucian take over the "Seed of Spirit" with El and Jacob.
In view of the various failures of his ancestors to explore the various failures of magicians to perform magical techniques, Lucian has no doubt that even if he puts his spirit in a trance-synchronized state through reciting prayers and religious rituals, he will have a strong conflict with the cognitive world after absorbing the "spiritual seed".
How could such a dangerous thing be absorbed in without care like Francis?
"You have only been in the Secret Prayer Meeting for more than ten days, and you don't have the strength of Francis, so it will be more difficult to absorb the 'Seed of Spirit' for the first time, and you need to try repeatedly." Seeing that Lucian was moving a little slowly, El said encouraged and urgent, while Francis and Jacob stared at Lucian with incomprehensible but different smiles.
Lucian lowered his eyes and brought his hands to his chest, bringing the "Spiritual Seed" to the center of his chest.
