Akane had never thought about the relationship between bacteria, fungi and diseases. Because of the existence of magic in this world, the development of medicine has lagged behind. After all, it is unknown whether medicine can cure diseases, but magic can cure diseases. For sure. Since magic is so effective, talented people and powerful organizations will naturally study magic vigorously. Who will work hard on medicine
Perhaps, Akane was the first person in the entire history of civilization to use magic to assist medical research.
With his profound accumulation of knowledge and his spellcasting ability, which is considered outstanding among high-level spellcasters, Akane quickly identified the causes of several common diseases in the laboratory, and analyzed the cause of several common diseases, which he named "Plague". "Plague No. 1", "Plague No. 2" and "Plague No. 3", as well as four common bacteria that cause diarrhea, and five bacteria that can cause fever.
These twelve types of bacteria, plus nine other types of bacteria that also cause common infectious symptoms, were collectively called "pathogenic bacteria" by him. He is currently targeting these pathogenic bacteria and researching drugs that can in turn suppress them.
He is not the kind of traditional scholar who turns a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window. He has a clear and profound understanding of the value of his research - his research will surely shock the world, and even the gods will be shocked. Perhaps with these research results, he will have the opportunity to impact the realm of gods.
The Pasteur family are descendants of high elves. This magical race created by the goddess of life has retained a lot of precious information, including introductions on how to become gods.
If a mortal wants to become a god, he must first step into the realm of legend, understand his own path, and become a saint. Then there are two paths. One is to continue on his own path to the extreme, contact the original power of the world, and learn from it. Understand the content corresponding to your own path and master its power - this is the initial step into the realm of immortality, which can be called a demigod.
If a demigod wants to go one step further and become a true god, he must either master part of the origin of the world and become a natural god; or he must absorb a large amount of faith and become a god of faith. Either way, it is an extremely long process, and most of the demigods in the world are accumulating silently.
The other way to become a god is to enter the realm of legend and make discoveries that no one has before, or to make some kind of work that no one has done before. No matter what, as long as the accumulated results reach At a certain critical point, the feedback mechanism of the world's origin can be touched, giving birth to a certain priesthood. This priesthood is specially prepared for this person who has made contributions, and is a reward from the origin of the world. With this priesthood, one can skip the long demigod stage and reach the sky directly in one step, becoming a true god.
Many people have walked through these two roads to becoming gods in history. There are many gods who take the path of demigods and true gods. Most of the gods come from this way. And the examples of those who take the path of achieving and condensing the priesthood are right before our eyes. It is Woer, the god of knowledge.
Of course, there are also people who combine the two paths and get the best of both worlds. For example, the god of spellcasters, Imia Lamperus, has made great contributions to the research and promotion of spells. He must have received feedback from the world, condensed a priesthood with uncertain specific content, and relied on his own research and practice to fully master the original power of "spells", and finally became a great god of spellcasters.
This approach of pursuing two paths at the same time is naturally much more difficult than focusing on one path, but the final achievement is also much higher. For example, both of them were new gods who had recently become gods, but the gap in military power between Wall and Lampelus was so huge that it was despairing.
Akane is currently only a high-level mage, and it will take a lot of time and effort to step into the legendary realm. But this does not affect him at all to make enough results first - as long as he makes enough results first, then the origin of the world will lock this priesthood to him in advance. As long as he does not die, when he steps into the legendary realm, You can become a god with this priesthood.
As for the issue of combat power after becoming a god, he is not a lofty master of Lamperus, and he has never expected to be as powerful as the old gods just after becoming a god - it would be great if he can become a god. , do you still dislike this or that? This is either a madman or a lunatic!
Therefore, Akane's research enthusiasm is very high now. He can already predict that as long as he can fully improve the research on various common diseases, especially epidemics, make appropriate treatment and prevention plans, and promote their spread around the world. If the epidemic spreads, at least one person cannot escape the position of "God of Epidemic Prevention".
And... as far as he knows, among the gods, there is currently no "god of medical treatment" that unifies the entire medical field. There are only some gods who are good at the field of treatment, and they divide the "treatment" ministry piecemeal, such as the human gods. Among the orcs, the "bloodthirsty shaman" also has this priesthood... This kind of priesthood is used by several gods. It is not uncommon to have one. If this priesthood does not have much value, or if the owners are unable to help each other, the situation will last for a long, long time.
However, if Akane can become the "God of Medicine", most of the "Healing" priesthood will be integrated under "Medical Care", which means that he will be able to directly draw from the "Healing" origin that has been divided among the gods. Cut off a large piece and have a huge influence on the entire "healing" origin.
In this case, he will definitely become a very powerful god!
In fact, this is also the case with Wole. This new God of Knowledge has improved his divine power at a staggering speed. In just over ten years, he has been promoted from the weak divine power when he first became a god to a weak divine power. Not long ago, the first batch of graduates from New Oriental United Technical School entered the society. Moreover, his divine power is still growing rapidly. According to the estimation of the God of Justice, Joel Gardman, he may grow to at least medium divine power, or even close to powerful divine power.
"Knowledge is one of the most important contents in the humanities field. Throughout the ages, countless gods have been interested in this priesthood, because everyone knows its importance." Joel Gadman once encouraged Wall, "You are now The most important thing is to work hard to dig deeper into the content of your priesthood, strengthen the expansion of the field, and at the same time continue to vigorously promote the spread of knowledge in the human world. As long as you do these well, at least a medium divine power can be guaranteed."
Akane estimated that if he could become the God of Epidemic Prevention, he would probably have weak divine power; and if he could become the God of Medical Treatment, then he would probably have at least medium divine power like Wall!
When he thought that there was a position with weak divine power or even medium divine power waiting for him, his heart was like a flame burning, filling him with endless power. He wished he had to study crazily and sleeplessly until he obtained everything. success!
If someone hadn't visited him regularly and given him appropriate reminders, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy and stayed in the research room. I'm afraid he will tire himself to death before he becomes a god by then.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen in the end. When Sui Xiong came, he saw him being persuaded by several people to mop the floor and send him to the bedroom to rest.
Seeing Sui Xiong's arrival, Akane suddenly became energetic again. He put aside the dedicated guards and took Sui Xiong to the laboratory to introduce his results to him.
His most significant achievement was the two groups of rats.
These two groups of mice were used to experiment with "treatment" and "prevention" respectively. One group has been infected with various infectious diseases and is being treated with the drugs he developed; the other group lives among the bacteria that cause these diseases and uses the drugs he developed to fight off infections.
Whether it is a group of mice on the left or a group of mice on the right, some individuals appear to be in high spirits and have basically no obvious symptoms.
"Your Majesty, you see, this is the result of my research!" Akane said excitedly, "The most critical point has been found. Next, I only need to carefully study these basically healthy mice to find the most effective drugs, and then Get a method that can completely defeat the infectious disease!"
Sui Xiong nodded repeatedly, praising the efficiency of his research.
However, he still put forward some reference suggestions based on his own impressions - for example, cleaning up the source of the disease, eliminating the four pests, patriotic health campaigns, washing hands frequently and ventilating, not drinking raw water, planning the living environment... etc. etc.
He spoke very loosely, basically speaking whatever came to his mind, very casually. Akane, on the other hand, listened attentively, his eyes shining, as if he had taken some kind of drug that was written into a novel and turned into a blocking word.
This conversation lasted for several days. In the end, Sui Xiong told almost all the knowledge he remembered about disease prevention and treatment, regardless of whether Akane could understand it or not. All in all, he told everyone. He's fine.
After he left, Akane fell into deep thought. He used magic means to record everything Sui Xiong told him. Now he needs to spend some time to sort it out, sort out a context, and finally incorporate it into his own research.
But there is no doubt that this speech gave him great inspiration. If before he only thought that he had great hope of taking the path of "achieving the title of god", now he was convinced that he would definitely be able to take this path.
The only question for him now is how long it will take for this road to open.
"Perhaps... I will become the first mortal in the history of the world to obtain the priesthood before the legendary realm..." Thinking of this, this usually calm scholar-sect druid and master of alchemy gave a rare giggle.
In the kingdom of rot and disease, the God of Plague sneezed repeatedly and felt a chill coming to his heart.
"What on earth is going on!" He shouted angrily, "Who on earth wants to plot against me!"
Unfortunately, as a very unpopular evil god, he doesn’t even have a friend with whom he can discuss...
