Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 862 Incarnation as a God (4-in-1)

More than a month later, in deep space.

The true god's body operates within the sea of ​​stars.

The surroundings were pitch black and silent, with only various rays and strange magical energy radiating outwards.

However, as if protected by the will of the world, he felt a warm and gentle sunshine throughout.

In the unprecedented peace and tranquility, a sense of security arose spontaneously.

This is a precious thing that cannot be obtained anywhere else, and it is the direct reason why he chose to become a god here.

Only here could he safely carry out his plans without constantly worrying about the "wolves and tigers" outside.

The wizards themselves were also "wolves and tigers" outside, so they knew all too well the dangers involved.

Just then, several invisible spirits projected over from the distant starry sky.

Several figures then appeared.

Although they were merely projections formed at random, each one possessed a profound and mysterious spirit, exuding an extraordinary aura.

The aura of divinity and divine power emanating from them revealed their identities.

They are all doing the same thing as what Roy is about to do: ascend to godhood in their true form or incarnation, and become true gods!
"Congratulations on your ascension to the divine throne!"

"According to the custom of our wizarding world, from this day forward, you will automatically become a member of our 'True God Society,' and we will study the mysteries of the gods together from now on. Be sure to get close to each other!"

"The organization is in dire need of clergy such as alchemists or craftsmen. I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

The gods appeared enthusiastic, simply because they were all gods of the witch realm and needed to stick together for warmth.

Therefore, they all joined this "True God Society" based on the identity of deities.

The path to godhood is not popular in the witchcraft world, but it's hard to guarantee that some people, like Roy, have mastered the method of splitting their souls and transforming themselves into gods.

In addition, there are those who lost the foundation of the wizarding path and were forced to switch to other paths.

There are even gods who were recruited, surrendered, or even completely enslaved from other camps during the war!
But in any case, research, analysis, and even seizing divinity, vying for divine artifacts, and fighting for faith are all things that these people are passionate about.

They also need to form factions to fight against other pantheons.

Now that new deities have joined the organization, they are all eager to know the specifics.

"You're too kind, everyone. Please wait a moment while I communicate with my followers to complete the final ascension ceremony."

The True God nodded to them and said politely.

The gods hurriedly replied, "We have all been commissioned by the Alliance to assist and protect Your Excellency in ascending to godhood..."

There should be no external enemies invading here, but the process of ascending to godhood is not without its twists and turns.

If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask.

"Thank you very much."

This can be considered a perk provided by the league.

Some indigenous gods in certain worlds are confused about their ascension process and do not receive these privileges.

However, Roy was actually very confident and had nothing to consult or ask for advice.

In the days that followed, he had already thoroughly explored the route to the ladder to godhood.

Of course, the most important thing is the [Alchemy Godhood] itself, which is bestowed by the alchemical talent.

The gods were unaware of this; they simply dispersed around and observed from afar.

The body of the true god shone with golden light, exuding an extraordinary aura.

When he fully activated his divine status and revealed the powers and divine strength possessed by a complete true god, he was even more surprised and amazed by the superior conditions of this junior.

"His divine power is so rich and abundant."
The power level is probably well over 10!

"This divine essence seems very complete, at least more complete than when I first advanced to level five!"

"No wonder he's so confident; with this kind of promotion, it's practically a sure thing!"

Some even drew parallels to Roy's rapid advancement within just a few hundred years, expressing their sincere admiration.

"This must be the legacy of the Okmi Temple!"

However, according to the rules of divine law, this can indeed only be obtained by a legitimate heir like him; otherwise, the will of the plane would have already arranged for someone else to receive these things.

"What a lucky person!"

"That's not necessarily true. Why aren't others so lucky? It's because their souls have something special about them..."

"But no matter what, becoming a god means becoming a level five powerhouse."

With his talent, I believe he can quickly improve himself and become a level five archmage.

"Tsk tsk, a level 5 Grand Wizard who is not even 1000 years old, his future prospects are truly limitless!"

"Our organization has always been a small circle, and we are constantly being targeted and threatened by outsiders..."

"If only more strong individuals could emerge to lead everyone in a counterattack, seizing more divine titles and divine kingdoms!"

During the exchange, this sentence instantly resonated with the gods of the witch realm.

The wizards' divine status, various artifacts, and even their divine kingdoms were all obtained through plunder.

Trying to analyze divinity using the methods of witchcraft to study its truths is not so easy.

……

Roy subtly took in these suggestive and treacherous words of spiritual communication.

All I can say is that a wizard is a wizard.

Becoming a god is just a side job.

The method is also something like seizing divine status.

However, at this moment, he felt that he could use his divine authority, divinity, and divine power at will.

The root of all this is that the [Alchemy Divine Spark] he possesses is original, a being that is perfectly aligned with his own soul and has been condensed into existence.

Perhaps fundamentally, it wasn't something it possessed from the beginning, but rather something it acquired from the outside world.

It was by absorbing some primordial matter from the universe that this fundamental talent was generated.

However, the word "origin" indicates that it is a process of refining from the fundamental level, a method of refining that is completely in line with the laws of the universe.

At this moment, he finally understood that what he had achieved was that of a primordial deity!
A wealth of knowledge about the gods was put to use as divine power was activated.

Roy began to absorb the soul particles that had always surrounded his body without limit.

The spiritual power derived from the believers' faith was immediately summoned, becoming joyful and incredibly active.

It was as if the last piece of the puzzle had been completed, and everything had merged into the body of the true god.

Power: 20...

Spiritual: 10 → 20

Golden light emanated from within, continuously radiating outwards, transforming the entire body into a golden radiance similar to its original form.

However, the power within the divine core is highly concentrated, like high-pressure gas, causing it to heat up rapidly.

Finally, we crossed a mysterious critical point and ignited the divine fire!

"My name is Roy, the God of Alchemy!"

In the darkness, a message emanated from the True God Body, spreading out in all directions.

This force transcends the limitations of conventional space and reaches everywhere.

Soon, the astral plane trembled, and both the outer, spiritual plane and the inner, material plane reacted simultaneously.

******
"here we go!"

In the starry sky, the gods marveled.

Countless streams of faith converged from the void, transforming into golden light that enveloped him.

These prayers from believers in various planes echoed within the consciousness of the true God, like countless whispers intertwining to form a grand symphony.

"My lord Roy, the god of alchemy..."

"The creator of all things, the protector of craftsmen..."

"The God of Sculpture..."

"The god of art..."

"I pray that you will grant me the spark of wisdom..."

"May your divine light guide the lost craftsmen..."

Among these believers, the most clearly defined are the "true believers," who are those who know the name, priesthood, and doctrines of Roy.

However, another group should not be ignored.

That is the larger, but seemingly vague and chaotic "general believers".

They all belong to the category of general believers, and they may not even know Roy yet, but they are associated with similar concepts such as "alchemy," "craftsman," or even "art."

The sum of all these constitutes the community of believers that Roy is now able to connect with.

As he prayed, Roy felt his Alchemy Godhood resonating with the starry sky.

He suddenly opened his arms, and a vast divine power surged forth, constructing a majestic divine throne in the void.

This throne is formed from pure divine power and shaped by the laws of nature. Its surface flows with dazzling golden light and is decorated with gems and carvings.

Above the high chair back, a golden beam of light, like a sharp sword, pierced through the sky and reached the earth.

On the body of the true god, divine power also condensed and laws shaped, resulting in an ancient robe that appeared as if it were a physical entity.

That was his "divine armor".

Although it is considered "external skin" and has no substantial function, it is related to the appearance and image of the gods and is considered an "anchor point" component.

The next moment, Roy arrived in front of the throne, turned around, flicked his sleeve, and sat down.

The entire starry sky trembled.

Centered on the divine throne, countless alchemical arrays unfolded in the void, rearranging and combining the surrounding stardust and energy.

A magnificent and vast ethereal palace, formed from divine power binding light and shadow and solidified by laws, appeared out of thin air.

Centered on this grand hall, a sphere-shaped domain radiates outwards.

This was originally the light emanating from Roy's divine power, a reflection of his mind and spirit. Appearing against the backdrop of the universe, it resembled the radiance and heat of a star.

A brand new star was born.

From the perspective of the gods, the surface of this star was covered with ripples like molten mercury, displaying a cold metallic luster, but under the golden light, it also had a dazzling heat.

Inside the star, countless tiny alchemy workshops or the phantom images of artisans could be seen and disappeared.

That was the prototype of the divine kingdom, a "domain" condensed with the spirit and will of the gods at its core.

The world's will of Vizel cast its gaze upon it, and the deep blue aura, like a gentle hand, softly caressed the newborn star.

This is like a blessing upon it, and it also represents the local people's recognition of the new god.

From then on, the witchcraft world gained a new true god whose divine function was "alchemy".

And all of this is just the beginning.

Roy felt his divine throne and "domain" being gently lifted up and "rising".

This is not a spatial sensation, but a dimensional one, constantly advancing towards outer planes, yet still remaining within the protection of the Witch Realm.

From then on, this "Alchemy Star" appeared on the level that all living beings could perceive. It belonged exclusively to the True God Body, was a fixed anchor point in the material world, and was also the coordinate that believers could perceive when they prayed.

Even in some locations near the Witch Realm, this star in the distant sky will be able to be observed directly with the naked eye, through mystical arrays, scientific equipment, and other means.

……

Once the stars stabilized, they began to move along specific trajectories.

The True God Body sat on the throne at the core of the star, feeling the flow of faith power. His spiritual consciousness, like light, radiated out infinitely, merging with the soul particles that were constantly approaching him.

Its divine light penetrated through layers of space and the boundary between matter and spirit, silently shining upon the believers.

An apprentice studying alchemy suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the problem that had been troubling him for so long was solved.

The craftsman who was creating the magical item was suddenly blessed with an unprecedented spiritual light.

In some places where magical power is scarce, some people have directly received divine revelation and mastered divine arts!
These are all manifestations of miracles.

However, by this time, Roy himself was no longer paying much attention to these things.

With a sudden thought, he entered a magnificent hall.

This is a seventh-level main god, the "Mysterious Lord" of the knowledge realm, and the "Mysterious Temple" built under the supervision of Mestrium.

However, it is not a divine kingdom or domain, but rather a public facility or organizational venue.

Modeled after the Pantheon, it is a huge hall constructed by divine power. In front of the fan-shaped open space, there are many high-backed stone chairs, which surround the central seat of the main god in a V-shape.

However, at this moment, there were only a few dozen divine thrones in this magnificent hall, and there was only one seat on the throne of the main god above.

Therefore, even Roy, the newly crowned true god, managed to get a spot in the top three rows.

"Ah, our god of alchemy has arrived!"

A slightly cynical young man's voice rang out; it was Poeta, the god of harvest and festivals in the realm of joy, and the protector of bards.

"congratulations!"

Lights shone from the dozen or so seats nearby, and one figure after another entered the hall to congratulate Roy.

The other divine thrones remained silent, like stone statues, showing no reaction whatsoever.

The gods in the True God Society are all immortal beings who are usually at peace and do not pay attention to things all the time.

Therefore, they are usually scattered or in small groups throughout the year.

Roy chatted with the gods around him and found that most of those "online" were beings like Mythos, the god of hatred; Hedoni, the goddess of pleasure; and Skotos, the god of darkness and terror.

They are all beings whose divine status and domain are more supportive.

Or perhaps they haven't had time to grow up yet, and are still new gods.

Meanwhile, the likes of "Mysterious Lord" Mestrium and "God of War" Kamurus were busy fighting outside and had no time for these social interactions.

With that kind of effort, you might as well seize more worlds and slaughter more enemy gods...

The veterans are out there fiercely battling it out, while the newbies are trembling with fear, huddling together for warmth.

“Very good, this is very wizarding.”

After hearing this, Roy had only one thought.

******
Poeta, the "Goddess of Harvest and Festivals," showed no sign of being relegated to a lowly position and chatted enthusiastically with Roy. "Lord Roy," she said, "now that you've newly ascended to godhood, what you lack most are followers and the accumulated divine power. You must be careful..."

Roy nodded secretly.

He does not have many followers yet.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Mior world already has a church organization with over ten thousand registered members.

It is under official surveillance, so its size cannot expand indefinitely.

Other parts of the world haven't had time to develop, and there aren't many devout believers yet.

Poeta also told him: "There is a distinction between exclusive and public faiths."

A personal follower is someone you control privately, someone whose soul particles can be directly transmitted to you and whom you can directly sense.

Public believers, on the other hand, are on the distant other side of the starry sky, where everyone can contact and sense each other, but at the same time, there may be competition between them.

Those are generally polytheistic believers.

Furthermore, even among believers themselves, there is a possibility of 'faith deviation,' which can gradually lead to wavering and departure.

But regardless of the type of believer, the power of faith is real and true, only the quality varies.

Many pre-existing deities will spread their teachings in the material world through various means, expanding their influence.

Because this is the source of their power and their most important treasure.

Little by little, we accumulate to great things; like grains of sand forming a tower, this is the primary principle of our path to godhood!

I suggest that we work together to develop a public following and control those safe worlds with strong religious atmospheres and predominantly polytheistic beliefs as pastures...

Besides, beings of our level have all more or less controlled some territory.

We can exchange development permits, and each of us can then establish our own temple there.

"Yes, faith needs to be cultivated, but it is also a choice made in accordance with one's heart, and it is difficult to force it."

Each person's soul is unique, and their natural anchoring areas are also different...

They may be just a casual believer or a shallow believer in a certain field, and may never be able to produce much value, but when they change fields, they become a devout believer, or even a fanatical believer or a saint!
My suggestion is to make full use of resources.

The goddess of pleasure, Hedoni, echoed this sentiment.

"This is natural."

Roy agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"The worlds of Araghi, Nehpur, and Nomon under my control can all be opened to you for the development of your church organizations."

All terms and conditions should be followed in accordance with the organization's bylaws.

"That would be wonderful!"

The gods smiled with delight.

They do indeed control parts of their own worlds, which they can exchange with Roy.

The specific terms will depend on the individual calculations of each subordinate.

Because the value of each world is different, the number of believers that can be developed and the potential value that can be explored are all different.

The organization must also keep clear accounts internally.

Generally speaking, they all define a region, such as a continent or a country, as the scope of dissemination, stipulate a population limit, and designate it as a pastoral area.

How many believers one can develop, how many devout followers or even fanatics one can gain, depends entirely on oneself.

No one should compete for devout believers, but casual believers and non-believers can share appropriately, and conversion may even be allowed as a bargaining chip when necessary.

"Can believers be traded?"

Roy was amazed when he heard this.

"Otherwise, why do you think there are still so many wars and disasters on earth, even though there is divine protection?"

Mythos, the god of hatred, gave a sinister smile and began to guide Roy, the new god.

"For example, if the church I developed on your territory becomes weak and I no longer want it, I will manipulate the creatures on earth to wage war and cause it to fall."

When the dynasty changes, the new ruler forces his subjects to convert, thus completing the transaction.

Some losses are inevitable, but as long as the young intelligent beings grow up, a new generation can be formed every twenty or thirty years.

At this point, he couldn't help but feel regret.

"Of course, if it were Lord Camurus and his group, there would be no need for such trouble..."

They could launch a direct war, slaughter the believers of other pantheons, and then use immigration to create a replacement population.

This resulted in a change of faith.

"That sir is, after all, the God of War, which is perfect for cultivating a more loyal faith in the process. As for us, we can only try our best to rely on a peaceful world for development."

"The god of harvest and festivals," Poetta said sadly.

Roy nodded, vaguely understanding that this was a conflict between divinity and the realm.

War and harvest festivals are in conflict, and the True God Society should try its best to avoid these conflicts among its members.

Roy thought for a moment.

Fortunately, his alchemy field doesn't conflict with many other fields, so it seems to be versatile?

We can wage war if we want war, and we can have peace if we want peace.

It can adapt to all kinds of worlds.

……

After that, Roy specially selected a group of disciples and brought them to the Nehebul Wizard Tower for intensive training.

They will become their first priests, spreading the teachings of the Alchemist God.

"As the god of alchemy, I can bestow upon you power and wealth."

But as a wizard, I still hope that you can all find your own path through your own research.

Most of the gods in the witch realm are actually only doing it part-time.

They wouldn't consider these powers derived from divinity and divine strength to be too important..."

But despite saying that, he himself deeply analyzed the essence of the system and was amazed by the enormous benefits it contained.

Moreover, given his current lack of trusted confidants, it is only natural for him to send some of his disciples to various dioceses and rely on them to expand his territory.

According to his own "wizard mantra" and the doctrines of the cult, Roy will give them corresponding rewards.

And this reward is divine favor, granting access to various powers within the divine magic system.

"Don't worry, Professor!"

"Teacher, we know!"

Everyone was still full of confidence at this moment.

Those who have a future as great wizards do not rely much on divine favor or divine magic.

Roy didn't say much about it, because some things wouldn't be revealed for hundreds of years.

When these people have no hope of advancement, or when they watch helplessly as other fellow disciples, or even younger geniuses who are much younger than themselves, quickly surpass them, they will realize that these are not the orthodox paths for wizards, but rather the only lifeline they can grasp.

Some of them inevitably turn to a belief system, seeking a ladder to God.

They might consider seeking the position of the god of craftsmen under their protection, or that of other subordinates.

But that's all hundreds or thousands of years from now.

Only after reaching level two or three are you qualified to pursue those things.

To ensure that true geniuses could focus without distractions, he specifically chose those with slightly less talent to undertake these pioneering tasks.

******
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

In the world of Wolf, in the Nehebul Wizard Tower, Roy summons Freya and Nisha to inquire about the progress of some matters.

Freya and Nisa immediately gave their reports as well.

After Roy finished understanding, he was secretly satisfied.

In fact, above level five, there are countless powerful beings, and I cannot yet claim to be a master of the universe.

However, the universe is vast and boundless in terms of spatial scale, and many powerful beings live in their own planes and worlds, and may never meet in their lifetime.

In terms of time, lifespans can easily reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, and there are various methods for achieving immortality.

At the level of chief gods, such as the Great Wizards of True Spirits, even their mode of existence has abandoned the subjective will of intelligent beings, leaving only the core of their soul essence, with the "True Spirit" merging into the plane.

This also means that they will enter a higher dimension.

Beings of that level overlook the entire universe, and their battles are often driven by laws or domains, with the entire universe serving as their stage.

The interests that are contested and valued are not simply resources, but something at a higher level, something of principle or origin.

On this "stage" or "chessboard" of the universe, those at level six are truly invincible, while those at level five are the backbone and indispensable.

Now that I have become a true god, my situation is very good.

A very promising outlook!
"Compared to these, there is another important thing: your holy emblem, as well as the priest's robes, doctrines, charters, and so on..."

All of these have been finalized.

This was largely thanks to the experience he had gained in the Mior world; Vermenos oversaw the design of many things.

At that moment, Nisha spoke.

"Oh?"

Roy never cared about such a "trivial matter" from beginning to end.

But since it was already done, I just inquired about it.

Nisha didn't offer any further explanation, and instead instructed Celine to summon the two living puppets created by the Mushroom Demons.

The male puppet wore a long robe embroidered with gold thread, the collar of which was decorated with exquisite and intricate star patterns. He also wore a belt inlaid with various gemstones around his waist, which reflected a mesmerizing halo under the light.

The female puppets wear mainly silver-white, yet equally exquisite and gorgeous classical priestess robes, and are adorned with jewelry and ornaments.

The holy emblems worn on their chests are all of the same style, round badges inlaid with jewels and gleaming gold, with a scale-like emblem inscribed in the center, and also featuring mysterious runes.

The reverse side features the Hadith “~!” (equivalent exchange).

This outfit retains the exquisite beauty of aristocratic attire while also conveying the sacred and sublime nature of religious circles.

"Not all religions advocate asceticism or frugality. After consulting the classics, we believe that alchemy is a noble knowledge that requires a lot of resources, and it is only easily accessible and mastered by the middle class or above."

Moreover, it requires a certain level of knowledge to achieve better development.

Even if one obtains divine magic through divine revelation, one still cannot do without various worldly resources...

Therefore, clergy who oversee secular affairs should reflect the aristocratic nature of their skills through their attire, and their career paths should be linked to national prosperity and strength, in order to impress secular rulers.

Roy thought for a moment and nodded.

For religions to thrive, they certainly need the support of secular rulers.

In the realm of alchemy, however powerful deities might be able to develop theocratic states, but this is not so easy to achieve.

"Just like the path you took in Eglis, our clergy can choose to become advisors to their lords or merchants who amass wealth, with expertise in fields such as wealth, craftsmanship, and sculpture..."

Nisha gave a brief introduction.

At that moment, Windsorbell, dressed in her finest attire, walked in.

Despite being a follower with a fragmented soul, her spiritual purity was extremely high. After that, she played the role of the Goddess of Light, embodied divine power, and so on, which further accumulated a portion of her divinity.

Now, she can even exist as an envoy of the Alchemy Cult.

Therefore, the clothing they wore was similar to the robes of female priests, but with a greater sense of holiness.

Roy pondered for a moment, then said to her, “Once churches are established in various countries, there will be large-scale ceremonies and prayer events where messengers may need to descend to earth to perform miracles and bless people.”

You'll have to do it for me.

I will entrust you with control of the three apostles of ice, fire, and lightning, and you will also serve as their angels.

"Yes."

Windsorbell, of course, obeyed Iroy's orders completely.

……

In the following years, the church made great progress and quickly took root in hundreds of countries around the world under the control of the True God Society.

In the following years, it flourished and gained even more devout followers, numbering in the millions.

This is already at the level of what a true god would be equipped with.

It is important to understand that many worlds have low levels of productivity, and the world's will resists technological advancements or other paths that lead to mass population growth, because that would result in a massive increase in intelligent beings.

According to the law of conservation of spirituality, it can be deduced that if sufficient spiritual energy cannot be drawn from the outside world as nourishment, the spirituality of the world's will itself will be consumed.

This is a huge loss for a world that lacks self-awareness and doesn't understand long-term planning.

Therefore, many primitive indigenous worlds have maintained their original ecological development features.

And advanced...

The advanced world is highly competitive and has a high-quality population, so it won't be so easy for it to open up to Roy, a new god.

Millions of dollars...

In the technological world, cities with populations in the millions or tens of millions seem relatively few. However, behind millions of devout believers are at least tens of millions of ordinary believers, or even hundreds of millions of casual believers, as well as billions of non-believers and heretics (atheists in the magical universe are very rare and will not be mentioned)...

It is thanks to the organization behind him and his own solid foundation that he has such resources.

"If it were a new god who had risen from the native world, clueless and unaware of what he should and shouldn't do..."

Without coordinates from other planes or worlds, blindly wandering through the void of space is undoubtedly a waste of time.

Roy was quite satisfied with this and gradually developed a sense of belonging to the new organization.

"It seems that the True God Society is still somewhat useful."

However, he is unlikely to make any significant contribution to the organization in the short term.

Because he is busy gathering faith, concentrating divine power, and filling his own divine status.

The sea of ​​stars in the void, in the hall of the God's throne.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, the Alchemy Godhood shone brightly, revealing new information.

Power/Spirit: 30...

"It's time to establish a divine kingdom!"
