"Does the Holy Emblem count?" Zhao Xu asked a question that he felt was a bit in vain.
"Master, this holy emblem was given to you by the church, not by the goddess. It's just that you can show the power of the goddess through the holy emblem." Lux retorted ruthlessly.
Hearing these words, Zhao Xu almost slapped his thigh.
Once, in order to help Zhao Xu awaken some priest abilities in advance, Lei An specially borrowed him a "notebook" that belonged to the goddess.
That notebook can be said to be a "token" for him.
It's a pity that Zhao Xu directly obtained the "domain", dispelling undead and other priest abilities on the spot, and cast the divine spell in one step.
Therefore, Lei An has always envied Zhao Xu's divine grace, but Zhao Xu himself has never come into contact with the goddess's true token.
There were still a few notebooks of the goddess left in the "Legendary Library" on the top of the floating city, but the library spirit Luduo warned him.
Reading those notes before reaching a certain level would only make him fall into greater confusion, so Zhao Xu did not borrow them.
If the realm is not reached, troubles will increase.
Now that he encountered this situation again, Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed.
"Master, since you are so poor that you don't even have a token of the goddess, you will be in a bit of trouble." Lux's voice was filled with doubts.
"Just tell me your initial plan. Why do you need the goddess's token?" Zhao Xu asked calmly.
"Well, actually, I think we still have the possibility of a breakthrough, if Master you don't have the 'Miracle Technique' to act as a channel for divine power."
At this time, Lux relied on her extremely rich knowledge and said, "The other party will have to pay part of the price for intercepting you, Master, at the Sacred Heart Cathedral."
"Master, have you ever thought about the so-called idols?"
Idol
Zhao Xu once reached the "Land of the Sleeper" in the demiplane of the God of Death, where he came into contact with the statue of the "God of Killing".
Later, in the three "plots" briefly mentioned in "The Road to Godhood", Zhao Xu made the same move as Edmund, the God of Killing back then, allowing Zhao Xu to obtain three extraordinary powers from the statue.
This laid the foundation for him to finally obtain the fragment of Death's godhead.
Therefore, Zhao Xu knew from that moment that the so-called statues of gods were not just statues of gods.
They are also carriers of divine power.
"You mean I make a statue of the god now?" Zhao Xu immediately asked Lux's intention, "Then the goddess can let her divine power descend directly into the statue?"
The goddess of magic who once mastered the magic network can control the magic energy channels of the entire world, but there are still powerful beings who can cast spells.
Here, the Magic Network is not all of magic, but it is definitely the most effective channel for absorbing magic energy.
It is also because of the existence of the magic network that the civilization of magic can spread and promote the emergence of more mages.
Even the gods use magic channels when bestowing divine magic.
It is like a water pipe, connected to every household.
Without this pipe, you would have to carry a bucket to the river to carry water. In terms of efficiency and consumption, it is not as convenient as a water pipe.
If the gods want to grant miracles, they must also consider efficiency issues.
Otherwise, the gods can just directly project their own divine power to kill all enemies, and there is no need to develop the power of believers at all.
Miracle Technique itself, as a nine-ring divine technique, can forcefully pull out a low-consumption "divine power" channel.
As for the statues of gods, because they bear the mark of the gods themselves, they can also serve as low-cost channels for "divine power transmission".
"Yes, but Master, it's definitely too late for you to just knead it with your hands. And without a craft (pottery) skill level of 20 or 30 levels above, and decades of immersion in religious classics and images, you can't knead it at all. That kind of charm." Lux explained.
Zhao Xu reacted immediately.
Statues have charm because of their "image".
The statue itself is the carrier, and it is not limited to this carrier.
Even if it is a painting, if he paints it extremely realistically and matches a certain "charm", it can also produce the "imprint" of the god itself, thus serving as a carrier of divine power.
"Just relying on tokens is not enough, Lux." Zhao Xu was not simply listening to Lux's narration, he was also thinking.
"The token lacks the step from physical resemblance to spiritual resemblance, and I don't have time to set up a ceremony." Zhao Xu analyzed based on the banned book "Gods and Demigods" he once read.
God's token can serve as some kind of coordinate. If Zhao Xu has time to arrange complicated rituals, then God's token will definitely be the key carrier.
However, if he dares to move now, he will definitely die.
"Hey, Master, there is actually another way here. If you think about it, most rituals are actually non-optimized and inefficient versions of the spells themselves. So Master, you can use illusion to change the appearance of the goddess, and then add another piece If the token is used as a carrier to communicate reality and reality, then we can attract the will of the goddess."
Lux's analysis is very clear and intuitive.
However, Zhao Xu still heard doubts, "If you put it this way, doesn't it mean that as long as you have the goddess's token and use illusion to look like the goddess, you can achieve this effect?"
Arthur is extremely realistic.
That is, if someone can achieve it easily, it will be easily copied by others.
Therefore, spell materials, advanced professions, and expertise will become barriers that are difficult for others to imitate and achieve.
But the use of a certain spell cannot be turned into an exclusive skill.
Things that can be obtained immediately cannot form a barrier.
"Yes, ordinary mages or priests use illusions to change the appearance of a goddess, but they will only look similar in appearance but not in spirit. But Master, you are different." Lux said seriously.
Zhao Xu also suddenly realized at this time.
His illusions can resemble gods.
Because he had seen Sisylvina.
In the long river of time, he did meet Sisylvina before she became the third-generation magic goddess.
This also frightened Zhao Xu.
This means that that scene has truly existed in history.
In the "present" where he sits on the throne of Arcane, he changes the "past" in which he did not exist.
"Can you give me an answer?" Grazte urged, pressing Zhao Xu again, asking Zhao Xu to give some vague possibility first.
"Master, there must be a way." Lux also felt the oppression of the approaching storm at this time, "Master, if you die in front of Graz'zt, there is a possibility that I will be exposed."
"At that time, the other party may directly pay a huge price, project more abilities, and directly use methods to intercept me. So the master really has no last resort, so I will turn into a divine weapon and take a gamble."
At this moment, Zhao Xu also felt the rhythm coming from Lux's heart.
This rhythmic rhythm let him know that Lux was probably really worried.
Just now, she didn't persuade Zhao Xu to turn her into an artifact to fight. This was because once Lux entered the form of an artifact, it would mean that everything would never end.
Moreover, he cannot completely obliterate the demon king whose body is in the abyss, so this secret will inevitably be leaked.
This means that Zhao Xu will never have peace.
This will happen even if he escapes.
The temptation of the seven major gods is not enough to really make the current gods give up everything.
Because they themselves are the main gods.
But the prophecy mentioned that it would never be easy was enough to make the gods crazy.
This means that the seven main gods in the prophecy will become the eternal future, representing the order of the gods moving towards eternity.
The gods in the prophecy are truly eternal.
The gods who have already occupied the throne of the seven major gods are naturally happy to see the seven major gods becoming the final outcome.
Other powerful beings who do not meet the prophecy's candidates, and even the gods themselves, on the one hand are trying to get themselves closer to the prophecy's origin, and on the other hand they are trying to prevent everything from becoming a foregone conclusion before they succeed.
It is very likely that the powerful being who had violently prevented the Seven Gods from appearing just now immediately pushed the Seven Gods to continue to appear after becoming the Seven Gods.
Friends and enemies are always a blur.
"How should I put it? Just a little more divinity besides charm is enough. As long as it can fill a little bit of the function of the token, the remaining goddesses will naturally supplement it." Lux frowned at this time and said.
As long as she intervenes, these are easy to achieve.
However, she couldn't show the slightest ability in front of Graz'zt.
This ancient demon lord, who has witnessed the emergence and death of countless gods in the abyss, is already a part of the years. He will definitely be able to identify Lux's origins from clues.
By that time, his request for Zhao Xu would be more than just a promise, it would be that simple.
"Forget it, I'll just destroy you." Graz'zt shook his head and said. At this time, his appearance was getting more and more swollen, getting closer to the black shadow behind him.
The originally small alchemy elevator was also gradually getting bigger, adapting to Graz'zt's figure.
"You can bet on whether an abyss lord can successfully capture the souls of your players and invalidate all your resurrection stones." At this time, Graz'zt showed a cruel "smile" and continued to threaten.
"If you die completely, you will naturally not be able to become the corresponding fate. Human beings, never underestimate the ability of a demon king. It is not only magic and supernatural abilities that can read people's hearts."
At this time, Graz'zt's demeanor had become merciless and he looked like he was about to kill Zhao Xu at any moment.
"Master, I'm afraid it's really going to take action." Lux said seriously.
But Zhao Xu's heart was clear and transparent at this moment, and his whole body's state slowly returned to the state of a pious priest during his morning prayers.
"Lux, it's enough to be closer to God than an illusion, right?" Zhao Xu suddenly asked.
"Huh?" At this time, Lux was a little confused.
"No." Zhao Xu grinned at this moment and looked at the projection of Graz'zt in front of him. It had swollen and squeezed through the robe, revealing a demonic body with black scales and deep muscles.
"Sisilvina!"
