Chapter 1017

"Shenhuo!"

Ren was taken aback. No wonder Elder Sorim has been refusing to tell the truth.

Shenhuo is the most precious treasure in the world, bar none! It is the key for mortals to become gods, and it is also the key for gods to obtain more priesthood. Any god fire in this world can drive countless people crazy, cause bloody storms, and trigger god wars.

Sorim is a demigod, and he has lived for nearly four thousand years. He has already accumulated enough divinity, and he is only one step away from becoming a god, which is to ignite the divine fire.

If he hadn't been forced to, he would never have revealed the secret of Shenhuo.

Ren noticed that Elder Tai Tan became extremely nervous after speaking of Shenhuo, paying attention to his own reaction, and hiding deep vigilance.

"The elder is afraid that I will steal the fire?" Ren smiled lightly.

Sorim's face changed, and he was silent for a few seconds, "No one can resist the temptation of Shenhuo, especially a mortal like you who has great power and has the opportunity to become a god, and is willing to give up everything for Shenhuo and make the world's most Crazy move."

"In that case, why did the elder tell me?" Ren asked back.

It's not forced by you!

Suolim was very depressed, and smiled wryly, "If I don't say it, Manno will probably get this magic fire, which is a worse result."

Another sentence Sorim did not say.

He is betting!

Based on his understanding of Ren, Ren should not completely turn his face for a divine fire. It's not that Ren doesn't want a divine fire, but that His Majesty the emperor is too young, not yet forty years old, and has never experienced it. The ruthlessness of the years, and the frustration of stagnant power, the desire for immortality and conferred gods is not yet strong.

Although Ren couldn't see any expression at the moment, Solim was keenly aware that Ren's attitude towards Shenhuo was indeed relatively flat.

Elder Tai Tan was secretly delighted, he won the bet!

Ren asked: "Manno knows that there is a fire in the Temple of Storms?"

"Shouldn't know, this may be a temptation by Manno." Solim hesitated, "This divine fire originally did not belong to our Lord Angeloz, it was just obtained by him shortly before his fall, and has not yet been selected The priesthood has not been integrated into the divine power, it is an unowned divine fire."

Ren suddenly realized that he had just checked the information in the mobile phone library.

Angeloz, the god of sky and thunder, possesses two divine fires, which correspond to the two priesthoods of "sky" and "thunder and lightning". If he loses either of them, his divine power will be reduced by half.

Angeloz was killed on the spot during the battle with the evil god of the abyss.

Unless he, like the "God of the Scorching Sun" Anser, had already anticipated his own death, so he left a divine fire as a backhand for his resurrection.

But that's unlikely.

Leaving a divine fire in the Temple of Storms, and Angeloz fighting the evil god with his divine power halved, wouldn't that be tantamount to seeking his own death?

If it is Wuzhu Shenhuo, it will make sense.

Sorim said: "My lord got this sacred fire and hid it in the Temple of Storms. This secret was told to a Titan elder of the Giant Empire when he was dying. He is the ancestor of our storm giants. He lived in the Giant Empire. After the destruction, lead the remaining clansmen into the northern temple."

"For more than 10,000 years, the secret of the existence of Shenhuo has only been passed down among the elders, and I am the third elder who holds the secret."

"And you are number four."

Solim said solemnly: "In the whole world, only you and I know this secret."

Needless to say, the first two Titan elders have passed away.

"I'm deeply honored." With a smile on his face, Ren stared at Sorim, and asked directly, "Elder, are you going to use this divine fire to enshrine the gods? Or do you have other arrangements?"

Gods can be resurrected.

As long as there are believers who persist in praying and ignite the fire with the remaining divinity, no matter how long the gods have fallen, they can reappear in the world. Even if there is no divinity left, enough believers call for years and offer the power of faith to re-condense the divinity, but the time will be much longer, maybe tens of thousands of years to succeed.

Anser, the god of the scorching sun, arranged it in this way. He built a mausoleum on the plane of the setting sun, and left the disciples to inherit it. However, there was a little mistake in the plan and he failed to be resurrected.

If Solim intends to revive Angeloz, the chances are not small.

However, Solim did not immediately respond.

Even without the eyes of the soul, Ren guessed the answer.

Sorim is not an ordinary Titan elder, he is a demigod, and he is the best among demigods. He has accumulated enough divinity. As long as he gets the divine fire and ignites it, he will become him, and he will become the god of all gods from then on. One of the gods!

In the face of the temptation to become a god, any belief can be abandoned, even if Angeloz is the most worshiped god of the storm giant.

Solim's voice echoed in the palace: "I am going to confer the god myself."

He said it very frankly.

Ren was not surprised either, he would have chosen the same way if he had been. Resurrecting a god who has been dead for tens of thousands of years, expecting him to protect the people and revive the glory of the giant, it is better to do it yourself, the power of the god is in your own hands, more reliable than anyone else.

Sorim should have been preparing for this day for a long time.

"Which priesthood does the elder want?"

Ren suddenly became curious.

The "Road to Conferring the Gods" in the Great Library of Wezeland records the information of the priesthood in detail.

It is mentioned in the book that a divine fire can only choose one priesthood.

A priesthood is a field controlled by a god. It can be an industry, a profession, a race, a thing, or the definition of an abstract concept. The god has a dominant position in this field, as well as related power and magic.

The strength of divine power is not necessarily related to priesthood, but only related to the number of believers and the power of faith.

However, the priesthood determines the range of domains mastered.

The priesthood can also be understood as "staking the land", such as the "magic" priesthood, which occupies an important position in the world of Allenus and is the top ability among extraordinary powers. It is often seen in people's daily life, affects and determines development of civilization.

Therefore, gods who have mastered the priesthood of magic can better preach, and the number of potential believers covers almost all intelligent creatures.

Similarly, there are "sky", "earth", "sun", "elf" and so on.

Both are very powerful priesthoods.

Then, according to their priesthood, the gods determine the church's philosophy, teachings, and legal codes.

The fields of priesthood have similar and subordinate properties. A priesthood can be a subcategory of another more powerful priesthood. For example, "Earth Element" is a subordinate priesthood of "Earth".

Powerful clergy can be split into multiple lesser clergy.

Conversely, lower-level priesthoods can also be merged into stronger priesthoods, such as the three priesthoods of "Dawn", "Scorching Sun" and "Twilight" merged into "Sun".

However, the subordination of the priesthood has no necessary relationship with the subordination between the gods. Submission to the gods is only because of protection and conquest.

Portfolio domains also create hostile or ally relationships with deities.

The chosen priesthood cannot be changed.

Even if the deity falls and comes back to life, the priesthood bound by the original divine fire remains the same, unless the divine fire is handed over to other gods and ignited with a different divinity, the bound priesthood can only be released. It's just that in this way, Shenhuo changed hands, and there was no return.

Therefore, the choice of priesthood is extremely important, which determines the potential of a god.

Most of the most powerful priesthoods in the world already have masters.

Either, you can only choose a priesthood with a smaller domain, and there is no competition from other gods; or, choose the same priesthood, such as "magic", and then have a god battle with Wei Jiescui, kill him, and replace him as the new goddess of magic !

The former is more sensible, while the latter is tantamount to courting death.

Solim didn't hide anything, and replied: "I chose the priesthood of 'Thunder and Lightning'."

Ren nodded.

"Thunderbolt" is a second-level priesthood, very powerful, and currently there is no "God of Thunderbolt".

Speaking of which, the priesthood of thunder and lightning has changed hands many times in history. At first, it was a naturally born "God of Thunder", which fell in the first era and was replaced by a powerful troll demigod; in the second era, the thunder and lightning of the troll The God of Thunder died at the hands of Anam, the God of Giants, and the priesthood of thunder and lightning was transferred to Angeloz.

After Angeloz's death, the priesthoods of "Sky" and "Thunderbolt" were lost.

By the third era, the rise of dwarves and elves contributed to the dwarf pantheon and the elf pantheon.

Moradin, the "God of Crafts and Forging" of the dwarves, merged the priesthood of "Thunderbolt", but it didn't take long for Moradin to fall when the era changed.

In the millennium of darkness, Talos, the "God of Storms", obtained the priesthood of "Thunder and Lightning", merged into "Storm", and became the "God of Storms". However, Talos did not have a good time for a long time. Just a few hundred years after the opening of the new era, he fell in an inexplicable battle of gods.

The "Storm" priesthood was obtained by "Lord of the Sea and Storm" Kesula.

Kesula is currently the god with the most priesthood, more than double digits. Angeloz's "sky" now belongs to him, in addition to "ocean", "sea tribe", "water element", and "tide" Wait for a series of priesthood.

However, he may not have enough divine fire, or it may be for some unknown reason that he only annexed Talos's "gale wind" and gave up the priesthood of "thunder and lightning".

Therefore, the God of Thunder has been vacant until now.

Among the currently unowned priesthoods, Thunderbolt should be the most powerful, and it is also the most suitable priesthood for Solim!

Ren pondered in his heart.

The God of Thunder is also very suitable for himself!

I have a divine fire, and even made a plan to confer the gods, but instead of conferring the gods myself, Sanguinius went to explore the way first. Sanguinius embarked on the road of becoming a god, and gave himself feedback on his experience, and maybe he could find a different path.

If the exploration fails, I can only become a god in the future.

But this future is very far away. At least hundreds of years later, even at the end of thousands of years, the self with the immortal battle spirit can live longer than a demigod.

All in all, Fengshen is his own alternative, and it may not be useful.

Even if you can't use it, you can't lose it.

Before Renn could speak, Sorim noticed something and couldn't help asking, "Does Your Majesty have any suggestions?"

"Can the elder change to another priesthood?" Ren asked softly.

Solim froze for a moment.

Then he understood that Ren also took a fancy to the priesthood of thunder and lightning!

"this……"

Elder Tai Tan was immediately displeased, how could outsiders be allowed to dictate the matter of conferring gods, besides, even if he didn't choose the priesthood of thunder and lightning, wouldn't other gods take it? Conferring gods needs divine fire, and it is not your turn to keep the priesthood of thunder and lightning...

Just as Solim was about to refuse, he suddenly saw Ren's expression, and his mind seemed to be struck by lightning!

"You also have Shenhuo?" He blurted out.

Ryan didn't answer.

But Sorim is 100% sure that Ren has the fire in his hands! At the same time, it dawned on him that it was no wonder that Ren seemed calm when he heard about the existence of Shenhuo.

Elder Tai Tan took a deep breath and thought quickly.

Ren's attitude is obvious.

He does not allow himself to choose the priesthood of thunder and lightning. If he refuses the suggestion, he will have to face the wind elemental lord and the enemy's army alone. Not to mention getting the divine fire, the Northern Storm Temple will not be able to defend it, and the storm giant may also be destroyed from now on!

"I can't choose the priesthood of thunder and lightning, so I have very few choices." Solim smiled wryly.

Ren whispered: "So, how about 'giant'?"

Giant priesthood!

Solim's expression froze for a moment, and then his expression changed. He said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Father is just sleeping, and has not fallen."

The Father in his mouth is Anam, the god of giants.

This once extremely powerful deity created a family of giants in mythology and held many priesthoods. Most of the giant gods are his children, including "God of Sky and Thunder" Angeloz, "God of Cloud Giants" Man Nuo, "God of Flame" Sirte, "God of Agriculture" Xiati, "God of Love and Mercy" Eranis and so on.

However, apart from Manor, the giant pantheon suffered a devastating blow at the end of the second era, and has never recovered from it.

Anam did not fall, but fell into a deep sleep.

For more than 10,000 years, He has never responded to the prayers of the giant believers. Ren observed the flame of faith of the giants, like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time.

Nowadays, giants are rare, and other races will not believe in Anam, and there is almost no hope of his resurrection.

Many priesthoods that Anam had had were taken away.

Only the "giant" priesthood, because of the destruction of the giant empire, the reduction in the number of giants, the scope and potential of the priesthood have shrunk, so no gods can look up to it, and it still remains.

"There is no difference between eternal sleep and falling." Ren said softly: "Instead of being vacant, it is better to let the priesthood of 'giant' play a greater role. Elder Sorim, don't you just want to be the guardian of the storm giant? Regardless of the survival plight of other giants?"

Sorim shook his head, "I can't take away the priesthood of the Heavenly Father, and the tribe will not allow me to do so."

"hehe……"

Ren smiled, "When is the choice of the gods, when is it the turn of mortals to intervene?"

Elder Tai Tan gave him a strange look, aren't you interfering in my conferring the gods? Are you not mortal?

Ren didn't know what the other party was thinking, and continued: "The elders become the gods of giants, which is beneficial to all giant races. It is impossible to revive the glory of giants only by relying on the storm giants. All giants must be united. This requires the guidance of a giant god."

Sorim still didn't speak, but the eyes of the soul saw that his position was shaken.

Ren waited patiently for a moment.

Then he said: "If Heavenly Father knows, I believe He can understand your actions. Elder, you have to shoulder the responsibility for all giants."

Sorim's eyes flickered.

After a long time, he finally let out a sigh: "Alas... for the sake of the giant family, I can only follow His Majesty's advice."

Ren smiled, "The elder is wise."

"I helped the elders destroy the enemies and restart the Temple of Storms. I'm not interested in that divine fire, but I have one request." He looked at Elder Titan and said seriously: "In the future when the Temple of Storms is rebuilt, I must control the Storm Plane. "
