Chapter 785 -491: The 【Position】 and 【Power】 in Gaia World
Elf Land,
Lis looked at Adela in astonishment, for a moment he thought he had heard wrong.
Ascend to the Divine Throne, become a god?
Was this something a devotee serving the divine should say?
For many believers, the position of the divine was supreme; aspiring to become a deity, to stand at the same height as their gods, was considered a blasphemy to the devout followers.
But why would the Elf Great Sage say such a thing?
Lis’s thoughts swirled in his mind, and he didn’t know how to respond for some time.
However, Adela didn’t seem to be in a hurry either, standing beside Lis, quietly gazing at the Divine Statues of the Elf Gods in front of them, seemingly waiting for Lis’s response.
“Of course I do!”
Lis remained silent for a moment before he softly said to Adela.
“But you should be able to tell, I am already an Arcanist…”
As a Legendary Mage standing at the same height as Mr. Stephens, Adela could naturally recognize his status as an Arcanist with ease.
However, due to Adela’s superior skill in hiding her aura compared to Lis, he naturally couldn’t discern Adela’s aura or know if her profession was that of an Arcanist.
But regardless, Adela would understand that any Arcanist wanting to continue on this path, as Mr. Stephens said, ultimately aims to analyze and master the fundamental rules of the world and to change or create new rules.
However, becoming a deity undoubtedly meant giving up the path of mastering the world’s rules.
Mr. Stephens once told Lis that the power of the deities originates from their believers’ faith, but on a deeper level, it actually involves adhering to the rules of Gaia World.
Only by adhering to the rules of Gaia World could they control their corresponding Divine Domains.
The so-called Divine Domain essentially corresponds to a specific world rule of Gaia World and mastering the power within the domain that correlates with this world rule.
In Lis’s view, all deities were like employees of Gaia World; they were striving to master different positions within the company known as [Gaia World].
Different positions represent different [powers], some strong and some weak.
Only by mastering the corresponding [position] and having the associated [power] could they have greater influence within the [Gaia World] company.
For this reason, mastering [Divine Domains] is the most crucial for the deities, as it is the source of their immense power.
In contrast, Arcanists are akin to being part of [Gaia World].
The goal for Arcanists is to understand the reasons behind the different [positions] formed within [Gaia World], comprehend the mysteries contained therein, and attempt to surpass [positions] to grasp the corresponding [power].
Because different [positions] have different requirements for the controllers [of those positions].
Like when to work, and what needs to be done during work hours.
The deity mastering this [position] can only adapt to the demands of this [position] to approach and control it more effectively.
Just like the deity controlling [Light], [Hope], He needs to drive away darkness for his followers, bringing light and hope.
And the deity with [War], [Slaughter] as their Divine Domain, they need to continually stir up warfare in Gaia World to guide the onset of war and chaos.
Only in this way can they stabilize the Divine Domain they possess.
In comparison, Arcanists are more like relying on their self-acquired knowledge and wisdom to grasp the [power] represented by [positions] without being restricted by the demands of this [profession].
But after saying all this, it ultimately remains just a distant hope for Arcanists.
Starting from the Magic Empires represented by Nasery, Arcanists have been continuously exploring this possibility.
Yet, after countless years, no Arcanist has truly achieved their envisioned ultimate goal.
At most, they reach the point of Mr. Stephens and can proceed no further.
Many Legendary Arcanists have explored different possibilities, but ultimately, none have succeeded.
Of course, there are Arcanists who have become deities.
Indeed, some Arcanists have given up exploring further and chosen to become deities through the Path of Divinity.
It is recorded, but this method is not without cost.
Arcanists who become deities using this method all lose the unique ability of Legendary Arcanists to control, change, and create the rules of the world.
The capabilities of an Arcanist seem to be incompatible with the Divine Domains of the deities.
This is also why Mr. Stephens chose not to take the Path of Divinity.
For Legendary Arcanists, the desire to explore and master the rules of the world is something they absolutely do not want to give up.
And by becoming a deity through the Path of Divinity, they would become bound by the rules associated with the [Divine Domain] and continually be assimilated and changed by the power of the [Divine Domain].
This change is no different from becoming a Witch Demon and gradually losing wisdom.
Of course, Lis now has another path.
That is the [Sphinx Ascension Technique] he got from the Legendary Arcanist Sphinx!
Although this special arcane technique is not yet perfected, Sphinx had only completed the phases of gathering the Power of Faith, refining Divine Power, and constructing a virtual elemental Divine Status; how to ignite the Divine Fire and ascend to the Divine Throne is still unclear to Lis.
But it must be said, Sphinx was truly brilliant, and the feasibility of this method is quite substantial.
