Chapter 735 Too much divine energy

Bringing the book over, he opened it to a specific page before he started reading from it.

The way that he did this seemed like he had already memorized exactly what page he needed to turn to.

In addition to this, judging by how tattered the pages of the book looked, it seemed that he had been reading this book quite a few times.

This didn't seem like a good sign, especially with what he was telling me.

After turning the book to that specific page, the priest turned it for me to look at. He was even pointing at the specific part that he wanted me to read.

I narrowed my eyes to look carefully at this passage.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "The Mark of God fills the one that possesses it with pure divine energy. This is the connection between the one that possesses this Mark of God and the one that bestowed this Mark of God."

The first part seemed like it was quite normal, but the second part...

"This pure divine energy is not something that should exist in the world of mortals in the first place. As such, when it is left inside of a mortal body, it will be treated as a foreign substance and will be isolated from the rest of the mortal world."

It was worded a bit strangely, but I was able to get the gist of it from this.

"So I have this divine energy inside of me?"

The priest gave a nod before saying, "From what I've been able to gather, this divine energy should naturally flow into your body through the Mark of God. Once it's in your body, it will flow through it and integrate with your body, filling it with divine energy."

The priest raised his hand towards me as if he was asking for my hand before saying, "If I may?"

I was a bit confused what the priest wanted to do, but I didn't go against it as I put my hand in his.

I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this.

I just looked at the priest with a disappointed look, but there really wasn't anything that he could say in response to this.

After all, the priest had already gone through the book many times looking for a solution.

The only problem was that this was divine energy.

This was energy that the gods controlled, something that humans wouldn't be able to manipulate at all.

So it wasn't as if the priest was able to do anything even if he knew what the problem was.

Seeing that he didn't have anything else to say, I just gave a sigh before saying, "Is there really just no way at all?"

The priest looked at me with a look of sympathy, but then he said, "Actually, it isn't as if we can't do a single thing. There is something that we can still try."

I was surprised to hear this before asking, "What is it?"

The priest hesitated for a second before saying, "Divine energy is the energy of the gods, so the only ones that can control it are the gods themselves. However, normal humans wouldn't be able to contact the gods. Even those that devote themselves to the worship of gods would find it hard."

The priest suddenly paused as he leaned in to look at my hand that had the Mark of God on it. As he looked at this hand, he said, "That is for normal people. For someone like you who has a connection to the gods, it should be easier."

I was surprised as I looked down at the Mark of God on my hand before saying with a bitter smile, "Easier doesn't mean that it's easy overall. You have no idea if it will work at all, right?"

The priest revealed a bitter smile before saying with a nod, "That's right. Even if it is easier, that doesn't mean that it will be easy to do this. To be honest, I don't even know what I should do to communicate with the gods, but I'm willing to give it a try."

I didn't say anything at first, but I slowly gave a nod in response.
