Room 1017 Raiden Priesthood(1/2)
"Divine Fire!"
Renne was shocked, no wonder Elder Sorim refused to tell the truth.
Divine Fire is the most precious treasure in the world, no doubt about it! It is the key to the mortals' enthronement of gods and the key to the gods' more priests. Any divine fire that appears in the world can make countless people crazy, cause bloody storms, and trigger a war of gods.
Sorim is a demigod, and after living for nearly four thousand years, he has accumulated enough divinity, only one step away from the creation of the gods, that is, ignite the divine fire.
If he hadn't been forced, he would never have told the secret of the Divine Fire.
Renn realized that Elder Titan became extremely nervous after he spoke of the divine fire, paying attention to his reactions, and hiding a deep alert.
"The elder is afraid that I will take away the divine fire?" Renn smiled indifferently.
Sorim's face changed and he was silent for a few seconds. "No one can resist the temptation of the divine fire, especially the mortals who have powerful power like you and have the opportunity to be gods are willing to give up everything for the divine fire and make the craziest move in the world."
"Since that's the case, why should the elder tell me?" Renn asked back.
You're not forced to do it yet!
Sorim was depressed and smiled bitterly, "If I don't say it, this divine fire is likely to be obtained by Manno, which is a worse result."
Another sentence Sorim didn't say it.
He is betting!
Based on his understanding of Rennes, Rennes should not completely turn against him for a divine fire. It is not that Rennes does not want a divine fire, but that His Majesty the Emperor is too young, less than forty years old, and has not experienced the ruthlessness of the years and the setbacks of stagnation of power, and his desire for eternal life and gods is not strong.
Although Renn could not see any expression at the moment, Sorim keenly noticed that Renn's attitude towards Divine Fire was indeed relatively plain.
Elder Titan was secretly happy and won the bet!
Renn asked, "Manno knew there was divine fire in the Storm Temple?"
"It shouldn't be known that this may be a temptation by Manno." Sorim hesitated, "This divine fire did not originally belong to my Lord Angeloz. He just obtained it not long before his death. He had not chosen a priesthood and had not integrated divine power. It was a masterless divine fire."
Renn suddenly realized that he had just found information in the mobile library.
Angeloz, the god of sky and lightning, has two divine fires, corresponding to the two priests of "Sky" and "Thunder and Lightning". If any one is lost, his divine power will be weakened by half.
Angeloz was killed on the spot in a battle with the evil god of the abyss.
Unless He had long expected his death like the "God of the Sun", Anther, so he left a divine fire as the backhand for resurrection.
But this is unlikely.
Leaving a divine fire in the Temple of Storm, Anhloz fought against the evil god with his divine power cut by half. Wouldn't that be like seeking death?
If it is the Lordless Divine Fire, it will be explained.
Sorim said: "My Lord has obtained this divine fire hidden in the Temple of the Storm. This secret was told by He to a Titan elder of the Giant Empire on the verge of death. He is the ancestor of our Storm Giant. After the destruction of the Giant Empire, he led the remaining tribe members into the northern temple."
"For more than ten thousand years, the secrets of the existence of the Divine Fire have only been passed down among the elders. I am the third elder who has the secret."
"And you are the fourth."
Sorim said solemnly: "The only one in the world, you and I know this secret."
Needless to say, the first two Titan elders have passed away.
"I feel very honored." Renn smiled on his face, stared at Sorim, and asked directly: "Elder, are you going to use this divine fire to enthrone the gods? Or have other arrangements?"
Deities can be resurrected.
As long as believers insist on praying and ignite the divine fire with their remaining divine nature, the gods who fall no matter how long they die can reappear in the world. Even if there is no divine nature remaining, enough believers can call for years and devote their faith to regain their divine nature. It’s just that it will take a lot of time, and maybe tens of thousands of years to succeed.
This is how Anther, the god of scorching sun, arranged it. He established a tomb in the setting sun plane and left the believer's legacy, but he made a little mistake in the plan and failed to resurrect successfully.
If Sorim is determined to revive Angeloz, the chance is not small.
However, Sorim did not respond immediately.
Even without using the Eye of the Soul, Renn guessed the answer.
Sorim is not an ordinary Titan elder. He is a demigod and the best among the demigods. He has accumulated enough divinity. As long as he gets the divine fire and ignites it, he will become Him and become one of the gods from then on!
In the face of the temptation of the gods, any belief can be abandoned, even if Angeloz is the most worshipped god of the Storm Giant.
Sorim's voice echoed in the palace: "I am ready to be a god myself."
He said it very calmly.
Ren was not surprised, and if he had been alone, he would have made such a choice. It would be better to do it yourself than to resurrect a god who had been dead for tens of thousands of years, hoping that He would protect his tribe and revive the glory of the giants. God's power is in his own hands and is more reliable than anyone else.
Solim should have been preparing for this day for a long time.
"Which clergy is the elder who wants?"
Rennes suddenly became a little curious.
The book "The Road to the Gods" in the Wizerland Library records in detail the information about the clergy.
The book mentions that a divine fire can only choose one priesthood.
A clergy is a field controlled by a god. It can be an industry, a profession, a race, a thing, or a definition of an abstract concept. The gods have dominance in this domain, as well as related powers and magic.
The strength of divine power has no necessary relationship with the clergy, but only related to the number of believers and the amount of faith.
However, the clergy determines the scope of the domain to be mastered.
The clergy can also be understood as "horse-roaming", such as the "magic" clergy. It occupies an important position in the world of Alan Ershi and is the top ability among extraordinary powers. It is often seen in people's daily lives, affecting and determining the development of civilization.
Therefore, if the gods who master the magic priesthood can better preach, and the number of potential believers covers almost all intelligent creatures.
Similar ones include "sky", "earth", "sun", "elves", etc.
They are all very powerful clergy.
Then, the gods decide on the church philosophy, doctrine, and code based on their priesthood.
The realm of the clergy has similar properties and subordinate attributes. A certain clergy can be a subclass of another more powerful clergy, such as the "earth element" is the subordinate clergy of the "earth".
A powerful clergy can be split into multiple lower clergy.
Conversely, the lower-level clergy can also be merged into stronger clergy, such as the three clergy of "morning light", "scalding sun" and "dormant", which merge into the "sun".
However, there is no necessary relationship between the subordinates of the priest and the subordinates between the gods. Submission from God is only because of protection and conquest.
The priesthood also creates hostility or ally relationships between the gods.
If you choose a clergy, you cannot change it.
Even if the god falls and is resurrected, the original priest bound by the divine fire is the same. Unless this divine fire is handed over to other gods and ignite it with different divinity, the bound priest can be lifted. However, in this way, the divine fire changes its master, and there is no return.
Therefore, the choice of priesthood is extremely important and determines the potential of a deity.
Most powerful clergy in the world already have masters.
Either, you can only choose a priest with a smaller domain and no other gods compete for it; or you can choose the same priest, such as "magic", and then have a god battle with Vicheust, kill him, and replace him as the new magic goddess!
The former is more wise, while the latter is tantamount to seeking death.
Sorim did not hide it and replied: "I chose the clergy of 'Thunder'."
Renn nodded.
"Thunder and Lightning" is a second-top clergy, very powerful, and currently there is no "God of Lightning".
Speaking of which, the thunder and lightning clergy changed hands many times in history. It was originally a naturally born "thunder god". It fell in the first era and was replaced by a powerful troll demigod; in the second era, the troll's thunder god died at the hands of the giant god Annem, and the thunder and lightning clergy was transferred to Angeloz.
After Angeloz's death, both the "Sky" and "Thunder" clergy were separated.
By the Third Era, dwarves and elves rose up, leading to the dwarves and elves' divine system.
Moradin, the dwarf's "God of Crafts and Forging", merged with the clergy of "Thunder and Lightning", but not long after, Moradin also fell during the epoch-changing period.
During the thousand years of darkness, Taros, the "God of Wind" of "Storm" obtained the clergy of "Thunder and Lightning" and merged into "Storm" and became the "God of Storm". However, Taros did not have a long glory. Just a few hundred years after the new era began, he fell in an inexplicable god battle.
The clergy of "Storm" was obtained by "Lord of Ocean and Storm" Cthulla.
Cthulla is the deity with the most priests at present, with more than double digits. The "sky" of Angeloz now belongs to Him. In addition, there are a series of priests such as "ocean", "sea clan", "water element", and "tide".
But He may not have enough divine fire, or for some unknown reason, he only annexed the "strong wind" of Taros and gave up the clergy of "thunder and lightning".
Therefore, the God of Thunder and Lightning has been vacant until now.
Among the current priests without a master, Thunder and Lightning should be the most powerful and the most suitable priest for Solim!
Rennes pondered in his heart.
The God of Thunder and Lightning is also very suitable for you!
I had a divine fire and even had a plan to enthrone the gods, but it was not my own gods, but San Gilles went to explore the way first. San Gilles embarked on the path of enthrone the gods, gave back his experience and experience, and perhaps he could find a unique path.
If the exploration fails, you will have to be a god in the future.
But this future is very far away. At least hundreds of years later, or even thousands of years, the end of life. With the immortal war soul, one can live longer than a demigod.
In short, the God of Cong was his own alternative and may not be used.
Even if you can't use it, you can't lose it.
Before Renn spoke, Sorim noticed something and couldn't help asking: "Does your Majesty have any suggestions?"
"Can the elder change another clergy?" Renn asked softly.
