The promotion of a G.o.d follower was both a great opportunity and a big danger for the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest.
If failed, the elder would certainly die, and the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest would still suffer heavy losses—after all, the elder was not strong enough, and his process of becoming a G.o.d depended entirely on the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest. It was like two people climbing a mountain; if one was too tired to climb then the other had to lead him forward. Even if the one who led the way was a very powerful man, he would still feel very strenuous.
If something unexpected happened at this time, for example, landslides, earthquakes, beasts attack and people shooting, then their situation would become worse.
Of course, there would not be any landslides, but there were indeed many people who wanted to hide behind and shoot them, such as the G.o.ddess of Wealth, Manissy.
Long before, when she learned that the church of the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest was carrying out a big renovation to Rem City and hanging holy emblems everywhere, she had already guessed what her old rival wanted to do. Therefore, Manissy, whose powers for action had increased gradually after knowing Sui Xiong, acted quickly and found some viperous people through some hidden channels.
Of course, there involved many dirty transactions. To be honest, Manissy also did not want to contact those guys, but in order to deal with a G.o.d and a mid-level G.o.d, it was impossible for her to win if she did not have enough fighters or if her fighters were not strong enough and working hard. Her friends were either not strong nor worked hard to deal with a good G.o.d, so she had to find some viperous people who were disliked by anyone through some crooked ways.
In order to draw them over to her side, she had spent an astonis.h.i.+ng sum of money, and when things were done, she had to pay the rest. All the Divine Power she had used from start to end was enough for her to promote a G.o.d follower.
But, Manissy thought it was worth her efforts.
If her plan could be carried out smoothly, the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest, Moritre would suffer heavy losses. Even if she would not die, she may be unable to recover after a thousand years. By contrast, her career was on the rise, and she could certainly afford the price.
It was fairly cheap for her to kick the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest out of the rank of her opponents with such Divine Power expenditure.
But it was not easy to want everything to go smoothly!
Manissy sighed when she thought of those unreliable mercenaries.
In order to maintain her image, she could not find those notorious but powerful men. Instead, she had to find those whose reputations were not bad, which meant they were not strong enough but very cautious.
If they were not strong, she had to find more people; and if they were cautious, she had to pay more. This had greatly increased her expenditure and the risk of failure of the plan.
The “middleman” guaranteed that the plan would surely succeed due to his reputation. His past experience with corporations also proved that this guy was a golden broker whose ability of playing schemes had reached the peak of perfection. At least there was no doubt in his ability, but when Manissy thought about the relations.h.i.+p between this guy and her allies, she could not help but worry.
I hope… it won’t go wrong…
After a while, the sun finally rose.
When the red sun appeared on the edge of the horizon, the elder on the holy emblem roared wildly and raised his s.h.i.+ning staff high.
The surging power burst out of his body like an erupting volcano. Moreover, this power was gradually changing shape and becoming more powerful and pure, changing the direction of Divine Power.
In the sky, the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest was radiating more Divine Power. She was like a pair of strong arms pulling the transformation of his powers in a certain direction.
At first glance, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Among the on looking G.o.ds, at least two or three of them, including the G.o.d of Justice, Yorgaardman, shook their heads and sighed.
They were all the powerful G.o.ds at the top of the holy pedigree in the Pantheon.
These strong men who could reach that level had a far more extraordinary vision than any G.o.d. Although the ceremony seemed to go smoothly, at the moment they and noticed the fatal flaw.
In their eyes, this ceremony had already failed.
The elder of the church of the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest who had become a semi-G.o.d for many years could not totally give up the road he had spent countless efforts on. When he felt the endless powers from the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest in the end, he could not help but think of his original road.
Perhaps he was thinking that if he had such great powers, he could also succeed by his own road.
Or maybe he was thinking about something else, but it didn’t matter at all. What was important was that he was distracted at this moment.
At this critical moment, he finally could not stand completely firm and stick to the road that the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest had studied and deliberated for him.
The Divine Power was still falling, his power was constantly transforming, and he seemed to be becoming a G.o.d firmly and slowly. But, in fact, everything was over.
Yorgaardman frowned, hesitated, and sent a message to the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest, advising her not to waste her efforts anymore. He told her to cut off the link with the elder immediately in order to not to suffer more losses and protect herself.
But the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest refused his advice.
She also sensed that something was wrong, but if she failed, she would face a difficult situation where no G.o.d follower could help her, so she had no other choice.
Even if she failed completely, it didn’t matter. The worst result was that she would return to the main divine kingdom of the natural holy pedigree.
Were there any differences in giving up now? She would stick to it until the last moment! Perhaps, if she insisted on, she would succeed.
Therefore, instead of cutting off the link with the elder, she strengthened it.
The shadow of the Kingdom of G.o.ds in the sky became clearer and clearer, and the Divine Power falling from the Kingdom of G.o.ds surged even more. It was just like the Yangtze River, gradually shrouding the whole Rem City.
Seeing the scene and feeling the astonis.h.i.+ng powers, Morani could not help but exclaim, “She deserves to be a well-known G.o.d! At ordinary times, she does not show her ability, but she’ll show her real ability at the critical moment. That is really… the younger generation like me could not compare with her!”
“It’s almost done,” Yorgaardman sighed and said. “After today, she may not be as strong as you.”
“Ah?!” Morani was very shocked, and his eyes were wide-open in great astonishment.
His family resources were not abundant, and they had suffered great losses given to his brothers to recover their bodies and repair the path of faith, he had not yet recovered completely.
Now with regard to Divine Power, he was almost at the bottom of the mid-leveled G.o.ds. And compared with the mid-leveled G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest, their gap was still very huge.
What would happen to the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest that would make her weaker than him?
Yorgaardman did not explain but instead sighed deeply.
“Now, I just hope that she will not play too hard and make her fall to the ground… ”
“Is it that serious?!” Even Sui Xiong who had a bad relations.h.i.+p with the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest was very shocked.
Yorgaardman smiled bitterly and nodded.
Sui Xiong thought for a moment and asked, “Is there no one who can help her? Is everyone ready to watch her fall to the ground?”
“I have advised her, but she closed her ears.”
Sui Xiong suddenly realized something and shook his head. He advised, “Even G.o.ds can’t save people who want to die. If one insists on their own practice, then no one can save them. You don’t have to care about it too much, my elder brother. There are so many people in this world like her who have played all kinds of tricks in the past and the future. If you want to save everyone, you will certainly feel exhausted and extremely angry.”
“I know.” Yorgaardman could now help but laugh. “Even the elder himself has given up, and there is no need to help him. I just feel a little depressed just watching a kind G.o.d walking on his own way to death, and I can’t persuade him to change his way.”
“You should think differently.” Javier laughed. “The fool is dead, and the next successor may be a smart man.”
Yorgaardman was stunned. He thought for a few seconds with his head to the side and his mouth open. He finally laughed.
“You are right!”
He finally put aside his worries and changed his mood. He stopped worrying about the stubborn G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest.
The G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest certainly did not know about this, but she was aware that the situation was getting worse and worse.
Her Divine Power was still very strong, and it was possible for her to infuse the elder for a day or two. But the situation of the elder who accepted the Divine Power began to get worse.
Under the strong Divine Powers, his body had almost completed the transformation and transformed into a divine body. But the transformation process of his soul was stagnated—his soul had almost transformed into a G.o.d, but there was still a small part of his soul that could not be transformed. It was like downloading a movie whose size was dozens of GB large and seeing that 99.8% of it had been downloaded, but the last 0.2% of it got stuck for several days.
The G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest also felt helpless in this case. At this moment, the consciousness of the elder had stagnated as if he was falling asleep. He was guided entirely by his Divine Power to finish the final transformation. But his Divine Power could not transform the last small part of his soul. He had to try again and again in vain but could not transform it a bit.
One time, two times, three times…
He had tried many times, but his soul had collapsed in his final try and became countless light spots.
The apotheosis ceremony failed.
