Chapter 455 Lord of Life, Ascension Ritual
The Azure Sky Spirit, which sustains the lives of all, is now the lifeblood of everyone!
Once the Spirit of the Azure Sky is completely taken away by the Water God Hyptis, then death will be the only thing waiting for everyone!
The reason why Hyptis was able to ignore the layers of sealing marks left by the Radiant Moon Lords of the Natural God Dynasty, and even forcibly draw the Spirit of the Azure Sky from afar...
The root of the problem is that he is using the power of the ascension ceremony to forcibly break through the rules!
Ascend to godhood!
That is a power belonging to the realm of divine authority!
By resonating with heaven and earth through rituals, one ignites one's own path with divine fire, thereby temporarily elevating one's status above all else!
That is why he was able to forcibly manipulate the spirit of the Azure Sky.
And now, what Lynn has to do is also very simple.
Since Hyptis was able to draw upon the spirit of the blue sky through the ascension ritual, so could he!
As long as Lynn can also resonate with the Spirit of the Azure Sky through the Ascension Ceremony, coupled with his own control over the Spirit of the Azure Sky.
Even the water god Hyptis could not easily take away the Spirit of the Azure Sky!
But the ascension ceremony is not something that can be easily attempted.
That's the path to godhood!
Even within the civilization of gods, this step is considered a true life-or-death ordeal!
One wrong step, and the foundation is destroyed!
In the civilization of gods, after the ninth level comes the Holy Domain.
The Saintly Realm level is essentially equivalent to the late-stage existence of a Level 3 Grand Wizard in a Wizarding Civilization.
Upon reaching this level, the essence of life begins to touch upon the rules, and theoretically, one already possesses the qualifications to perform the most basic ascension ritual.
Even so, very few people actually dare to take that step.
Because after the Sacred Realm, there are actually two completely different paths for the civilization of the gods.
The first is the path of the gods.
Ignite the divine fire, unite the divine kingdom, accept faith, and from then on, transform into a supreme deity.
The other path is the road to legend.
Without relying on faith or forming a divine kingdom, but by constantly refining their own laws and power, they ultimately reach the pinnacle through pure individual strength.
This is precisely why there are so many powerful beings in the civilization of gods who, despite already being ranked as legends, are unwilling to ascend to godhood.
Because nobody dares to gamble, nobody is willing to risk their future on a high-risk ascension ritual.
They would rather continue to accumulate experience and wait than take that step rashly, because once they fail, the price they pay is often a lifetime!
But now, forced by circumstances, he has no choice but to take a risky move and try to ascend to godhood!
Of course, it was not Lynn himself who actually performed the ceremony.
He is a Morning Star Wizard, and his body contains gifts and imprints from the very origin of the wizarding world.
If such a being were to rashly attempt to ascend to godhood, it would be tantamount to courting death!
Wizards and gods are inherently two conflicting paths.
To ignite the divine fire in the body of a Morning Star wizard is practically the same as planting a bomb in one's own soul.
Therefore, what Lynn truly intended to use for the ascension ceremony was his divine avatar!
That life form that he once created with his own hands!
Back then, Lynn used the power of that clone and the Azure Sky Spirit to fabricate the existence of the "Cult of Life" and the "Lord of Life".
In the 002nd dimension he controls, the Cult of Life is almost ubiquitous throughout the entire dimension.
Countless beings offered prayers and offerings, and countless believers worshipped day and night. The Lord of Life was the only supreme faith in that plane!
That was true supremacy in a single realm!
Later, Lynn prepared to return to the Natural God Dynasty with the Spirit of the Azure Sky, so he took the Lord of Life with him.
However, without the Spirit of the Azure Sky, the so-called Lord of Life is essentially just an empty shell.
Therefore, it has always been sealed inside the Spirit of the Azure Sky by Lynn.
But now, in this extremely dangerous situation, it is clear that it is time for this "Lord of Life" to make a reappearance!
Because the Lord of Life already possesses most of the conditions for becoming a god!
First of all, its basic status and life level are no less than those of a true Saint-level powerhouse.
Secondly, the power of faith accumulated by the Church of Life over the years has been stored within the Spirit of Azure Sky, and its quantity is enormous.
In addition, the Lord of Life possesses almost all of the most basic conditions, including divinity, the nascent form of divine office, and resonance with the rules.
What is finally lacking is only a suitable environment for the formation of the divine kingdom and the holding of the ascension ceremony!
But at this moment, the blue and white stars have completely transformed into an enclave belonging to the rules of the gods' civilization.
The rules of heaven and earth here... everything perfectly matches the ascension ritual!
You could even say that the blue and white stars at this moment are a natural place to ascend to godhood!
More importantly, just recently, the water god Hyptis had personally demonstrated the entire process of ascending to godhood in front of everyone!
It was as if someone was demonstrating it to Lynn step by step!
From the guidance of rules to the convergence of faith, and then to the resonance of divine fire, all the most crucial steps have already been taken by Hyptis in advance!
That demonstration by the water god Hyptis alone increased Lynn's chances of becoming a god by at least 30%!
Of course, the most important thing is that at this moment, if the Lord of Life were to step forward and forcibly initiate the ascension ceremony.
Whether or not one can truly succeed in ascending to godhood is another matter, but at least one thing is absolutely certain: it is achievable.
That is, after Lynn and the Water God's ascension ritual clashed, Lynn was able to regain firm control of the Azure Sky Spirit and completely sever the Water God Hyptis's pull on it!
So what if we fail? In the end, it's just a puppet of a god's avatar!
Therefore, as Lynn murmured, "Now... I can only try it," he had already begun to take action.
His consciousness had already sunk into the spirit of the Azure Sky.
The Lord of Life, who had been sealed within for so long, finally opened his eyes once more.
The next moment, the vast amount of faith power that had been dormant deep within the Azure Sky Spirit suddenly surged wildly, as if drawn by something.
boom!
The golden-green torrent of faith continuously converged, transforming into dazzling rays of light that surged wildly into the body of the Lord of Life.
And the ascension ceremony... officially began at this moment!
It was precisely because of this that a faint yet real divine aura began to emerge from Lynn's body.
The aura wasn't particularly strong.
Even because it was suppressed by the aura of the Morning Star Wizard himself, it appeared somewhat indistinct.
The problem is, a divine aura is a divine aura!
Even the slightest leak is enough to send chills down one's spine!
Especially the wizard Sean, whose eyes widened and pupils contracted almost instantly upon sensing that aura.
He simply couldn't believe what he was sensing.
A divine aura?!
How could a Morning Star Wizard possibly possess the aura of a god?!
This is completely illogical!
If Sean hadn't been fully aware that Lynn had personally met His Majesty the Moon of the Natural God Dynasty and even been implanted with the "Primordial Seed," a mark that was almost impossible to fake, he would have been much more aware of the truth.
He would probably immediately assume that Lynn was a heretic spy planted by the civilization of the gods!
After all, this kind of thing is just too outrageous!
Meanwhile, it wasn't Sean and his group who reacted most strongly to all of this.
Instead, on the vast ocean ahead, the water god Hypti is constantly gathering the life force of heaven and earth, attempting to complete his second ascension to godhood!
The perception of fluctuations in the rules by deities far surpasses that of ordinary extraordinary beings.
Especially now, Hyptis is in a state of divine ascension, making him extremely sensitive to changes in the aura of his kind!
Therefore, the moment the Lord of Life began to attempt to ascend to godhood, Hyptis immediately noticed it!
boom!
Those eyes, as deep blue as the ocean, suddenly narrowed!
Hyptis, who had always maintained a composed and sacred demeanor, now revealed a true loss of composure for the first time!
"impossible!!!"
Hyptis suddenly looked up, his voice even carrying a hint of disbelief and sharpness.
"You want to become a god?!"
"That's absolutely impossible!!"
"How could the glory of the great goddess of nature and life possibly fall upon a heretic like you?!"
Rumble!
With his roar, the entire sea began to churn wildly.
Endless waves surged into the sky, and the water elements in the world vibrated almost violently.
Clearly, Hyptis was truly astonished at this moment.
He had maintained a semblance of politeness, addressing Lynn as "Lord".
But now that he has realized that Lynn is also trying to hold a godhood ceremony, he doesn't even bother to maintain his pretense anymore.
heresy!
This is the most blatant and disgusting term used within the civilization of gods to refer to beings outside of it!
However, faced with Hyptis's almost out-of-control roar.
Lynn merely raised his head slightly, his expression remaining calm, and then spoke softly:
"That's none of your concern." "The Spirit of the Azure Sky has been in my hands for so long..."
"Do you really think I'm completely unprepared?"
The moment the sound fell.
hum!
Beyond the pale green canopy that enveloped the heavens and earth, space suddenly trembled slightly.
Then, a tall, slender figure slowly stepped out from the void.
The man was dressed in a dark green robe covered with intricate and complex life patterns, exuding mystery and nobility, and even carrying a faint sense of holiness that transcended all living beings.
The style of the robe was extremely similar to that of a real deity's robe, as if its owner should have been sitting on a divine throne!
The figure's face bore a striking resemblance to Lynn's, with a full 70% similarity!
However, compared to Lynn's true form, that face appeared more indifferent and divine, as if it had gradually transcended the realm of "human".
And at the very moment it appeared.
brush!
A bluish-green, prismatic crystal suddenly flew out and hovered beside him.
The crystal continued to rotate, spreading out strands of bluish-green light, and an extremely rich life force permeated the heavens and earth.
It was none other than the Spirit of the Azure Sky!
The figure that appeared was none other than the divine avatar that Lynn had once created, the Lord of Life!
At this moment, the Lord of Life stood silently in the void, while the Spirit of the Azure Sky seemed to have truly gained sentience, constantly circling and dancing around him.
The expression even subtly conveyed an undisguised intimacy and joy, as if it had finally rediscovered its most familiar master.
Lynn was not lying.
Over the years, with the help of the Lord of Life and the Spirit of the Azure Sky, he has absorbed far too much faith power in the 002 dimension.
Countless believers pray day and night, and countless lives praise God's name.
Over time, a bond, almost like a binding connection, has formed between the Lord of Life and the Spirit of the Azure Sky.
In a sense, they have even been regarded as a whole!
Therefore, at this very moment, at the instant the Lord of Life begins the ceremony of ascension to godhood.
The Spirit of the Azure Sky severed all connection with Hyptis almost without hesitation!
The rules that originally belonged to Hyptis broke on the spot, without even the slightest hesitation!
Then, the Spirit of the Azure Sky, like a small beast finally freed from its restraints, joyfully flew around the Lord of Life.
Where was the slightest trace of the resistance and hesitation he had shown when he was forcibly pulled by Hyptis?
It was as if they had willingly thrown themselves into the embrace of the Lord of Life!
At the same time, the enormous blue-white star below suddenly began to tremble violently.
Boom!
Boom! !
Boom! ! !
The voice was deep and resonant.
It wasn't like an ordinary tremor; rather, it was more like an ancient heart that had been dormant for countless years, slowly reviving!
The entire star is pulsating!
The elemental tides between heaven and earth were violently oscillating.
One after another, visible, regular ripples spread out in all directions.
This scene also occurred when the water god Hyptis performed his ascension ceremony!
This signifies that the ascension ceremony has truly gained the approval of the rules of heaven and earth and has officially begun!
Seeing this, Lynn's tense mind finally relaxed a little.
At least, the most crucial step was successful.
The Lord of Life can indeed perform the ascension ritual using the blue and white starry sky environment!
As a result, his worst fears did not come true.
In fact, Lynn had been worried about one thing before this.
That is, when the Goddess of the Magic Network sent the blue and white stars over, did she leave some kind of hidden restriction inside them?
For example, only those who gain her approval can ascend to godhood with the help of the blue and white stars.
Alternatively, any being that is not a direct descendant of the divine civilization will immediately suffer a backlash if it attempts to ascend to godhood.
If that's the case, then all of Lynn's plans today will become a joke on the spot, because he has no other way to compete for the Spirit of the Azure Sky.
But now it seems that he was overthinking it. The Blue and White Stars have already recognized the Lord of Life's qualifications to ascend to godhood.
This is something Lynn was unaware of.
The civilization of gods was not monolithic; even the supreme gods were wary of and schemed against each other.
Especially for beings of the level of the Goddess of the Magic Network, it is even less likely that they would casually reveal traces of their power.
The reason she sent the blue and white stars was essentially to scheme against the incomplete divine essence left behind by the goddess of life and nature, Shangtiya.
Therefore, she would never leave too much of her own power in the blue and white stars.
Otherwise, once the Azure Sky Spirit detects the anomaly, it probably won't choose to merge with the Blue and White Stars at all.
In that case, her plan will completely fail.
That's why when the Goddess of the Magic Network sent the blue and white stars, she left almost no tricks up her sleeve.
This star is essentially the purest "embryo of a divine kingdom"!
Whoever conforms to the rules of the civilization of the gods can use it!
Therefore, Hyptis, the water god and direct descendant of the goddess of magic, was able to ascend to godhood through it.
Similarly, Lynn, the Morning Star wizard from the wizarding civilization, could also create the divine avatar "Lord of Life"!
And just after the Lord of Life formally entered the ascension ceremony.
An anomaly followed!
Rumble!!!
As the blue and white stars continued to pulsate, countless vast and incomparable rules of heaven and earth began to rapidly take shape between heaven and earth.
Those rules were as tangible as physical objects, transforming into invisible chains, into the order of heaven and earth, into a terrifying cage covering the entire star system!
The suppression came down in the next moment!
hum! ! !
In that instant, the entire world seemed to freeze.
The air stopped flowing, the elements stopped vibrating, and even space itself seemed to be frozen.
Whether it's Lynn, the wizard Sean, or the wizard of the Soul of the Flame, or any other powerful figure in the wizarding civilization.
Even the water god Hyptis, whose combat power was approaching the peak of the Morning Star realm.
At this moment, they were all forcibly suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth, unable to move an inch!
This is the absolute rule of the ascension ceremony!
No one is allowed to disrupt the ascension ceremony!
Whether you are a god from a civilization of gods or a heretic from a civilization of wizards, once you step into this area covered by the rules of heaven and earth, you must abide by the rules, and no one is exempt!
At this moment, Hyptis, who was firmly suppressed in place by the rules, had a completely ferocious expression.
His eyes were bloodshot, and there were even faint blood vessels visible around his eyes.
He stared intently at the green figure in mid-air that was being baptized by the rules of heaven and earth.
That look in his eyes was almost as if he wanted to devour the Lord of Life alive!
Because just now, he was so close to succeeding!
He was just one step away from completely drawing upon the Spirit of the Azure Sky and completing his second ascension to godhood!
But now, all of this has been snatched away by a "heretic"!
This feeling is worse than killing him!
For Hyptis, this blow was no less than watching his childhood sweetheart and the man he hated most having an affair!
The pain and frustration were so intense that his very soul trembled!
"heresy……"
"Damn heretics..."
Hyptis clenched his teeth, making a grinding sound.
But unfortunately, there was nothing he could do!
Because what is suppressing him at this moment is the very rule of heaven and earth of the ascension ceremony itself!
Even though his current combat strength is no less than that of the Morning Star Realm.
At this moment, they could only obediently remain suppressed in place.
Unable to move, unable to break free, and unable to stop the Lord of Life from continuing his ascension to godhood!
Therefore, all he does now is stare intently at the Lord of Life.
The only thing left to do was pray, pray that the Lord of Life would fail in his ascension to God!
There is no other way! (End of Chapter)
