Chapter 141: The Path to Godhood

“Good stuff!”

William looked at the crystal in his hand, his eyes lighting up.

Compared to weapons or magical items that increase attributes, the greatest advantage of basic attributes is the ability to receive attribute corrections, similar to the free attribute points William received when completing tasks in the past.

“Well then, I’ll take my leave.”

“I’ll be staying in Canlight City for a while, waiting for Lady Prophet to wake up.”

After bowing to Joyce and William, Marion took his leave.

William didn’t try to stop him; Marion probably didn’t want to stay, especially with a big shot around.

However, as he escorted Marion out, William did inquire about vampires.

“You mean those scumbags?”

Marion hesitated for a moment before answering, “They are those who betrayed God Vlad, indulging in bloodlust and desires, unlike us vampires.”

“They recklessly absorb blood, and the blood they inherit from God Vlad has been tainted. Even their descendants and blood servants are the same.”

“All vampires adhere to the laws of God Vlad. Indulging in desires only leads to self-destruction.”

“As for what happened in the past, why they betrayed God Vlad, I’m not sure.”

“That’s a long time ago, and Lord Damon might know. After all, he has been with God Vlad since his birth.”

“Whereas I’m only a few hundred years old, still young.”

After sharing some less important information with William, Marion left.

He needed to buy some sweets to calm his startled heart. He had truly sensed a hint of danger from Joyce just now.

After receiving the information, William returned to the reception room where Joyce was still sitting.

“William, have a seat. I have something to tell you.”

William nodded and sat down on the sofa nearby, waiting for the guidance of the big shot.

“I don’t know if Apollo told you, but I think it’s necessary to remind you.”

“With your talent, the possibility of breaking through to become a legend is high, so you need to understand these things in advance.”

“Please go on.”

Seeing Joyce’s serious expression, William respectfully said.

“The power that appeared in the hands of that vampire just now was the divine power of God Vlad.”

William nodded; he had felt the majestic power from that red brilliance, indicating a high status.

In his previous life, players had encountered divine power, but none could withstand it, resulting in their immediate death.

“Divine power is the foundation of the gods, the concrete manifestation of divine power.”

“After breaking through to become a legend, there are many ways to continue to improve your strength, but the most widely known and enticing one is the path to godhood.”

“This is the path for mortals to become gods, the most tempting and dangerous. It is destined to be filled with thorns and obstacles. Without great determination, great perseverance, and great luck, it is impossible to reach the end of this path.”

“The Gaia world has been peaceful for a long time, and no one has succeeded in ascending to godhood for hundreds of years.”

Joyce shook his head, but there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

After all, becoming a deity represents endless life and unimaginable power.

William nodded; although he was not aware of the path to godhood in his previous life, some people did succeed in becoming gods in the later stages of the storyline. However, they were indigenous people.

Or perhaps, it was during a particularly brutal and chaotic era, where even gods could fall, so naturally, some people successfully ascended to the divine throne.

“There’s no need to talk about these things; after all, you’re still far from it, William.”

Joyce smiled and raised his teacup, taking a sip.

“However, there are some things you need to pay attention to.”

“That is the legacy of the gods.”

“You previously had the aura of the gods; you received blessings from the gods, right?”

William nodded, surprised that Joyce knew so much.

“I received the protection of the elven goddess Clemena and also obtained a magical item containing divine power.”

“Well, you’re lucky.”

Joyce praised and then continued:

“But you must understand, all these powers are bestowed by the gods, just like the divine power of God Vlad that Marion displayed just now.”

“Before bestowing power, the gods will actively eliminate the will contained within the divine power. Otherwise, professionals below the legendary level simply cannot withstand the erosion of the divine will.”

“Throughout the course of time, many gods have fallen. Lucky individuals often discover remnants of the fallen gods’ divinity and power in ruins. However, without reaching the legendary level, they don’t even have the qualifications to digest and absorb this treasure.”

“So, if forcibly absorbed, their consciousness will be completely eroded and destroyed by the residual divine will. Moreover, the fallen god may even use this as an opportunity to be reborn into the world.”

‘Is that so? No wonder players who encountered ownerless divine power in my past life would die immediately.’

William pondered silently, seeming to understand somewhat.

In other words, if one wants to absorb the remnants left by the gods, even the divine power with the least divine will is equivalent to undergoing a will judgment. If the judgment passes, only then can one obtain the power contained within.

However, this will judgment is of an extremely high level. Without achieving the legendary status and the sublimation of consciousness, it is almost impossible to pass this judgment.

“I understand, I will pay attention to this in the future.”

Joyce nodded, adding, “Of course, after becoming a legend, you can start looking for remnants of the fallen gods to absorb.”

“However, only the remnants of the fallen gods can be converted and absorbed.”

“Just now, that vampire was still worried that I would seize the divine power of Marion. It seems he doesn’t know much.”

“After all, wanting to digest the will of a living god is much more difficult, and it would attract the attention of the gods, which is not worthwhile.”

“But…”

Joyce seemed to have figured something out, a strange smile appearing on his face.

“What’s wrong, Uncle Joyce?” William asked curiously.

“I guess the situation of the vampire progenitor Vlad may not be good.”

Joyce stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with insight.

“To think that they need someone arranged by the divine envoy to deliver the divine power, this is quite rare for the gods.”

“Just like the blessing from the elven deity on you, the gods usually just open the gates of the divine realm and bestow power directly.”

“In this situation, it’s possible that the current situation of Vlad is not good.”

However, Joyce shook his head afterward, saying, “But this doesn’t have much to do with us. After all, matters concerning the gods are not something we can pry into.”

William nodded along, taking note of it.

In the game of my past life, the name Vlad rarely appeared, even in the later stages of the storyline. However, I never heard of the news of this god’s fall.
