879 Chapter 513: Divine Duty in the Wilderness [1/3]
That jolted Richard’s interest.
The power of a G.o.d was composed of three aspects–divinity, divine power, and authority or clergy.
Life must first possess divinity to give birth to divine power.
The birth of divinity must ignite the divine fire and temper one’s body. The transformation from a mortal to a G.o.d alone could give rise to divine power.
Authority and G.o.dhood were both alternative names for rule force.
A G.o.d who couldn’t control the power of laws was a demiG.o.d, even if they had divinity and divine power.
DemiG.o.ds who had not reached level 30 wouldn’t usually think about such things.
However, some existences often defied common sense–the divine soul stored in the statue of the ancient G.o.d, Renee. That was interesting.
It had yet to reach level 20. But it had already controlled a wisp of the G.o.d’s ancient tree’s rotten authority.
Both were existences that had grasped the power of G.o.ds in advance.
‘What kind of power could the Great Immortal G.o.d bring out?’
That stirred Richard’s curiosity.
The Great Immortal G.o.d relaxed a little when he saw Richard’s concern.
He was sparingly unsure now with the previous one.
He feared Richard would not take a fancy to his bargaining chip.
He would scoff in the past.
Would mortals despise the things he bestowed?
He could no longer bring up such boring thoughts before this Human Overlord.
“Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a war of G.o.ds that swept across the multiverse erupted… I forcibly partic.i.p.ated.
“In the later stages of the battle of G.o.ds, I encountered an enemy about to become a high-level deity. He was the G.o.d of rogues.
“There is no right or wrong in the battle of G.o.ds.
“We’ve engaged in a devastating battle of G.o.ds… The battle lasted for ten years.
“In the end, the G.o.d of wanderers joined forces with the G.o.ds of the other G.o.d systems in the wilderness and broke into my kingdom.
“The enemy slaughtered me.
“I eroded the Rogue G.o.d’s power. I sealed a part of his power in my body before I died. That was the price.
“And that part of power contains a part of the Rogue G.o.d’s clergy.
“I must destroy that part of his power if the other party had killed me sternly.
“The G.o.d of rogues naturally wouldn’t surrender to a skeleton… He established this sealed land following my death. He wanted to use the time to my body so that his power would surface again.”
At this point, the Great Immortal G.o.d’s tone carried a clue of sarcasm.
“He died anyway, not long after. The idiot didn’t see that coming.
“This sealed land gradually declined following the death of its master, Rogue G.o.d. And I returned.
“I have preserved the Rogue G.o.d’s divine power I sealed in my body in this land.
“Much of it had dissipated, but the most important authority is the power of laws that you call divine duties… Still here.”
Richard hadn’t expected to find so many secrets.
He returned to his senses. His gaze turned intensely connected, and he couldn’t help it.
This spirit G.o.d had given him a bargaining chip he couldn’t refuse.
The Great Immortal G.o.d said in a deep voice, “Respected Human Overlord, I can pour this power of authority into the seal stone… The little centaur’s soul power depended on this sealed land.
“The little centaur will directly inherit this authority when its soul returns to its main body.
“So… can that satisfy you now?”
Richard calmed down. He said solemnly afterward, “This deal… It’s very fair, but how can you guarantee this would process uninterruptedly?
“What is my guarantee any harm wouldn’t follow me after you leave?”
“What is my guarantee we wouldn’t become enemies in the future?”
The two sides were now enemies, and the credibility of the transaction was the biggest problem.
Both sides did not trust each other. They were hesitant to partic.i.p.ate.
Richard was uncertain if he could kill him despite the ancient G.o.d statue in his possession. Endless trouble would be ugly had he abandoned something and fled.
The Great Immortal G.o.d had already revealed a portion of his methods. Loreinna couldn’t deal with such a strange method even if she could enter the Shadow Plane.
The Great Immortal G.o.d was even more afraid of Richard, who had the power to kill him.
Bet? He could. But what could be the price?
The rules of the world incessantly change. Richard could never have another chance if he couldn’t leave this time.
How could he accept this?
A great future was right before him. The world would be boundless with a single step. He would still be the undying G.o.d with supreme authority and rule over billions of undead!
He would gamble even for a single chance of risk.
He had longed for this day for far too long!
The Great Immortal G.o.d’s thoughts flew. He slowly said, “Then what do you think?”
“I believe His Majesty should know the rules of the contract…”
Richard looked calmly at the other party.
“A G.o.d once signed a contract with me using this rule.”
The Great Immortal G.o.d’s soul fire shook again.
His empty eyes stared at him.
He spoke again afterward.
“It seems that you are beyond extraordinary than I imagined.”
The G.o.ds had signed a contract with him. The credibility of it would be questionable if one said it to others.
However, the weight of this person’s words was not something ordinary people could compare to.
The ancient G.o.d statue that had devoured the power of G.o.ds was the best proof.
