Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 73 Ignite the Divine Fire and Condensate the Priesthood

As Kane broke through the legend and gained the highest power in the entire Kingdom of Dawn, the power structure within the kingdom also underwent some corresponding changes.

The changes are not drastic, just some normal power transitions.

The power structure within the Kingdom of Dawn is still very clean, and Chen Li doesn't need to worry about anything.

Adam has never disappointed Chen Li. Although Kane is still a little immature, he is also growing rapidly. Chen Li believes that he will not disappoint himself and Adam's expectations of him.

In the year 240 of the Dawn Calendar, the army of the Kingdom of Dawn had been stationed in the Land of Ascension for fifty years.

For the current Kingdom of Dawn, the Land of Ascension has become a fixed training ground for troops.

It was also in this year that Chen Li was submitted a challenge application again. This was the second challenge from the Blue Star God that he had experienced after coming to the Ascension Land.

The entire ascension land is indeed a bit too large, and the Blue Star gods with epic legions and legendary families are extremely rare.

Even though the locations of the two sky cities are already very obvious, they can attract the attention of the Blue Star gods thousands of kilometers around at fixed times every month.

For decades, no Blue Star god had submitted a challenge to Chen Li.

It was not until the fiftieth year that the second Blue Star god after Luo Shenyi submitted a challenge application to Chen Li.

This time, the Blue Star God is an orc god, and the orcs he sent out are also at the legendary level.

For a novice god, the probability of having a legendary extraordinary person among his believers is higher than the probability of having an epic legion.

After all, the extraordinary people in the legendary realm are individual miracles, while the epic legion is a collective miracle.

Novice gods do not have enough foundation to support the establishment of an epic legion, while the birth of legendary transcendents does not have so many rigid requirements.

It's all a matter of probability, and the probability of an individual is of course higher than that of a group.

For this orc legend, Chen Li still sent out Adam and the Dawnwatch Legion.

However, the last time the Nature Walker was dealt with by Adam, this time Adam handed the Orc Legend directly to the Dawnwatch Legion, and he was only responsible for providing a backup.

The result was of course no surprise. Kane, who had broken through to the legendary realm and was backed by the Legion's battle formation, had been suppressing the legendary orcs from the very beginning. The opponent had no power to fight back and soon announced his surrender.

In the 250th year of the Dawn Calendar, Chen Li's divinity broke through 50 points.

This level of divinity can already carry a portion of the supreme priesthood.

But if one wants to bear the three major priesthoods of time, space, and destiny at the same time, there is still a big gap.

Even though there are three corresponding marks deep in Chen Li's soul, it can reduce a lot of the requirements for bearing the priesthood.

50 points of divinity is still far from the minimum requirement to carry these three supreme priesthoods at the same time.

In the 300th year of the Dawn Calendar, Chen Li's divinity broke through 60 points.

As time went on, the faith in the worlds ruled by the Kingdom of Dawn became more and more solid, and the amount of faith Chen Li could gain every day increased.

Even though the higher the divinity, the higher the requirements for improvement, and the faith value consumed increases sharply, the speed of his divinity improvement still does not slow down at all.

In the 369th year of the Dawn Calendar, Chen Li's divinity reached 69 points.

Combined with the three marks deep in the soul, 69 points of divinity are just enough to carry the three supreme priesthoods of time, space, and destiny.

At this point, Chen Li no longer planned to continue improving his divinity.

For novice gods, the higher the divinity, the better. Instead, it must be perfectly matched with the corresponding medium.

Because when these mediums ignite the divine fire, they will automatically merge with the divinity of the novice god until the priesthood is successfully condensed, and then they can naturally form a semi-artifact that perfectly fits the priesthood.

In this case, the low divinity will cause the divine fire to not be strong enough to have a sufficient impact on the medium, and it will be difficult to form a semi-artifact that perfectly matches its own priesthood.

If the divinity is too high, the divine fire will be too intense, causing too much impact on the medium. Using too much force will also cause various problems.

Only just right is the best.

Although the higher the divinity, the larger the area of ​​the divine domain that can be carried, this has nothing to do with becoming a demigod. There is no need to deliberately improve your divinity before becoming a demigod.

Therefore, Chen Li only needs to continuously accumulate faith points and rule points. Once he exchanges the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny], he can immediately ignite the divine fire and condense the priesthood to become a demigod.

In the 468th year of the Dawn Calendar, even after occupying two special territories and multiple high-level territories, Chen Li still spent more than two hundred years to accumulate enough rule points and finally exchanged for the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny].

Looking at the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny] in his hand, which contained endless mysteries, Chen Li smiled with joy.

The three marks deep in his soul were also trembling slightly at this moment, as if they were pulling at the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny] and couldn't wait to integrate into it.

Chen Li did not hesitate and began to fuse his divinity, soul and the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny]. During this process, the divine fire was gradually ignited.

The endless power of faith acts as firewood, keeping the divine fire burning.

Divinity and soul are constantly merging, making the divine fire grow stronger and stronger.

Compared to divinity, divine fire is more active, and this is the source of the demigod's power.

For novice gods, the greater significance of improving divinity lies in the ability to carry higher-level priesthood, rather than the insignificant increase in combat power.

But starting from the demigods, the scale of the divine fire and the specific priesthood will greatly affect its future development direction and potential.

After all, demigods are already top-tier combat forces in the Land of Origin. Although every attack consumes a massive amount of faith, this cannot impose too much restriction on demigods.

As long as it is of sufficient value, even a demigod can personally take action.

In this case, the combat power of each demigod is likely to affect the change of the battle situation.

In the foreign wars before the Kingdom of Dawn, there was never a record of Chen Li personally taking action.

On the one hand, the army of the Kingdom of Dawn is strong enough and Chen Li does not need to take action.

On the other hand, it is also because Chen Li’s own combat power is insufficient. Even with the help of external objects, at any cost, he can only barely exert the power of a demigod level. It is better to let Adam take action directly.

But after becoming a demigod, the situation is completely different.

Even a creation wizard cannot compare to a demigod who possesses the three supreme priesthoods.

Although Chen Li will not act casually after becoming a demigod, he will become the greatest guarantee for the Kingdom of Dawn in its external wars.

As divinity and soul merged and the divine fire grew stronger, the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny] also continued to change under the forging of the divine fire.

The corresponding priesthood was also being smoothly condensed. The three marks deep in Chen Li's soul had begun to merge with the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny], and an incomprehensible power descended instantly.

"Is that the boss concentrating on his divine duties?"

Some Blue Star gods were attracted by this great power and turned their attention in the direction where Chen Li was.

The gods of Blue Star also need to condense their priesthood in the place of ascension. After all, the speed of time flow in the place of origin is very different from that of Blue Star.

Only in the place of ascension can the confusion of consciousness caused by this huge difference in the speed of time flow be directly eliminated.

Therefore, after entering the Ascension Land, the gods of Blue Star generally do not quit halfway. They will not leave the Ascension Land until they have condensed their priesthood and become demigods, and then return to their own divine domains, or directly return to Blue Star.

"Boss, this is incredibly efficient! We just got the media not long ago."

"To be precise, it was half a month ago. After the boss exchanged the medium, the two sky cities disappeared."

After the Blue Star God exchanges the medium, the rules of all the territories he occupies will be reset.

Generally speaking, these territories will not disappear directly, but will soon be filled with many native species, waiting for the challenge of the next Blue Star god.

However, those two sky cities are both special-grade territories, and there are no naturally formed special-grade territories in the entire ascension land.

After Chen Li exchanged the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny], the two sky cities disappeared.

Adam and the army of the Kingdom of Dawn also returned to the Cradle of Life and did not stay in the Land of Ascension.

"What do you think, which supreme priesthood-corresponding special medium did the boss exchange for?"

"Who knows? But the boss has occupied two Sky Cities. With over two hundred years of accumulation, I wonder how many rule points he must have accumulated. What he redeemed must be the top-notch special medium."

"That makes sense..." Although the Blue Star gods will reveal some of their aura when they are concentrating their priesthood, this aura will become extremely obscure under the influence of the rules of the ascension land, and it is impossible to judge their corresponding priesthood through the aura.

As time went by, Chen Li's divinity and soul had been completely integrated, the divine fire had reached a perfect state, and the calcination of the [Ring of Time, Space and Destiny] had also achieved the best effect.

As Chen Li's priesthood became more and more concentrated, various strange phenomena began to appear in the many worlds of the Origin Land.

In the cradle of life, all the statues began to emit a dazzling light.

All the winged people enveloped by this light began to experience some different changes in their bodies.

Some of the injured winged people's wounds were healing quickly, and some of the winged people who were training suddenly felt that they were making rapid progress, and it seemed that they could gain additional insights every time they swung their sword.

There are also some winged people who are very old and nearing the end of their lives, but suddenly they feel much better.

It is not a last hurrah, but rather an extension of life on another level.

The occurrence of various visions, accompanied by the light of the statue, made all the Winged People shout that it was a miracle, and that this was a gift from God.

Plane T09-DX-718886, this is the first world conquered by the Kingdom of Dawn.

After hundreds of years of development, the development of this plane has never stopped, and it has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to hundreds of years ago.

Every life that is born will no longer have to experience a sad future.

They can receive a variety of comprehensive education from an early age, choose the career they want to pursue, and participate in the construction of the entire plane in the future.

The belief in Chen Li has long been deeply rooted in this dimension. The Kingdom of Dawn has already evacuated most of the Winged People, leaving only a few Winged People to maintain communication between the two places.

In this plane, Chen Li's statues are spread everywhere. After the statues burst into dazzling light, various strange phenomena different from those in the cradle of life also appeared in this world.

A lizard man who was about to go out to work was looking depressed because he found that he had accidentally overslept.

It takes 20 minutes to get from home to work, but now there are only 5 minutes left before being late, which is too late anyway.

He has recently been striving for the title of model worker, and after continuous efforts, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

I didn't expect that because of my carelessness, I am about to miss this opportunity.

Although the title of model worker does not have any practical benefits, it is a recognition of him by everyone and a reflection of his self-worth, which can arouse people's interest more than those practical benefits.

He now wished he could turn back time, go back to before he went to bed, and slap himself hard twice to remind himself not to oversleep, but how was this possible?
He opened the door of the apartment with a bit of despair, as if rushing to the execution ground. The Lizard Man had already made the necessary mental preparations.

"Click."

As the door was opened and then closed, what came into view was not a familiar scene.

No, it is indeed a familiar scene, but what is going on?
"You're a little late today. You'll be late in five minutes. Didn't you always come to the company at least ten minutes early?
And what's with that expression on your face? You look so dejected, that's not like you."

"Ah? No, what day is it today?"

"No. 27, what's going on? Is there something important?"

"Nothing, just a little sleepy."

Various spatial anomalies appeared throughout the T09-DX-718886 plane.

For some people, after opening the door, they found that the scene in front of them was not familiar, while for others, they were able to teleport directly between two places through some portals.

Some people were even teleported directly to other worlds ruled by the Kingdom of Dawn.

All these incredible phenomena made the higher-ups of this plane somewhat at a loss, and they quickly reported to the winged people stationed in this world by the Kingdom of Dawn.

Later, with the help of the Kingdom of Dawn, the situation was quickly stabilized.

Plane T09-CY-320121, the only complete plane ruled by the Kingdom of Dawn.

During hundreds of years of rule, Chen Li's beliefs have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Only the elves still insist on believing in the Spirit of Fertile Soil, but this is limited to those elves born in earlier years.

After the entire plane was brought under the rule of the Kingdom of Dawn, even the elves had to believe in Chen Li.

It would be fine for those elves who already have their own beliefs, but elves born after that are no longer allowed to believe in the Spirit of Fertile Soil.

The only legal and spreadable belief in the entire plane is Chen Li's Wanling Sect.

The elves did not have much resistance to this. After all, they relied on the Kingdom of Dawn to continue to survive in this plane.

It's good enough that they are not forced to change their beliefs. It is also very reasonable that the elves born after this need to believe in the Lord of the Cradle of Life.

Of course, this is also because the Spirit of Fertile Soil itself is the embodiment of the world's will and does not need to rely on faith to exist.

Losing the faith of the elves had no effect on Him.

Otherwise, the elves would never have abandoned this great being who had protected them for so many years.

At this moment in the land of fertile land, Emilia woke up from a short rest.

"Is this a dream?"

Emilia's expression was a little puzzled. As a high-level nature priestess, it was impossible for her to dream.

Unless the Spirit of Fertile Soil has some information for her to convey, it is possible that he would communicate with her in this way.

But the Spirit of Fertile Soil had fallen into a deep sleep and had not yet awakened, and she could guarantee that this dream had nothing to do with the Spirit of Fertile Soil.

And for some reason, she didn't remember the content of the dream very clearly, only some vague fragments.

In those blurry fragments, I seemed to be standing next to someone, and directly opposite me, there were many intelligent beings of different races kneeling before me.

Those who half-knelt before him were at least high-level transcendents, and among them were even some powerful beings that were far beyond his comprehension.

Why would so many powerful beings of different races half-kneel before me, and who were the ones beside me?
Emilia had no idea what was going on. The dream was too vague, with too few valid fragments, making it difficult to find any useful information.

As a high-level nature priestess, she suddenly had a dream that she couldn't understand, which really made her feel a little uneasy.

"Who is the one……"

In the many worlds ruled by the Kingdom of Dawn, various strange phenomena continue to occur.

Fortunately, the occurrence of these strange phenomena all had a common signal and did not cause any actual losses. Instead, they brought many positive changes to those worlds.

This prevented any disturbance and everything was under control. Such a miracle also deepened Chen Li's faith.

In the tenth year after the visions of many worlds appeared, all the statues no longer shone with dazzling light.

Many strange phenomena gradually disappeared without leaving any traces, as if they had never appeared.

At the same time, Chen Li in the ascension land slowly opened his eyes.

At this point, Chen Li officially became a demigod.

For novice gods, this is a comprehensive transformation.

In addition to the huge improvement in combat power, there are some other changes.

Before this, he had not yet given himself a specific divine name.

After all, the name of a god must be related to his duties and cannot be chosen randomly. Otherwise, it will be easily affected by religious beliefs and may even cause conflicts with other gods.

Before he acquired the priesthood, believers in many worlds addressed him as the Lord of the Cradle of Life, the God of Myriad Worlds, and other titles related to him.

It does not specify any specific responsibilities or concepts.

But after this, his specific divine name can be determined——

The god of time, space and destiny.
