Chapter 454 A Second Ascension to Godhood, Lynn Becomes a God?
At this moment.
The prayer chanted by Hypti, the god of water, was undoubtedly directed at the great goddess of nature and life, Satyriya!
The so-called "Paradise" is the highest realm where the former divine kingdom of that main god once resided.
Once a deity ascends to godhood, he will build his own divine kingdom.
Previously, Hyptis had already demonstrated the power of the divine kingdom.
Within the divine realm, the rules of heaven and earth can be altered with a single thought of the gods.
The truly powerful gods, especially those at the level of chief gods, have divine kingdoms that are the most mysterious and vast forbidden realms in the entire universe.
Some divine kingdoms hang high in the depths of the starry sea;
Some disappear into the darkness;
Others reside in ancient dimensions that are completely inaccessible to ordinary people.
For example, the divine kingdom of Sangia was built on the Elonia mountain range in the Elysium.
That place is the true temple of the great goddess, and is also revered by countless believers as the garden of the great mother!
Another example is the goddess of darkness, Shar.
Her divine kingdom is located in the darkest dimension of the heavens, built in Niflheim within Hades' domain.
That region is also known as the Lost Temple.
For example, Mystra, the goddess of magic networks whom Lynn was very familiar with, had her divine kingdom located high within the mechanical realm.
………………
Within the civilization of the gods, there has always been an ancient warning that is almost taboo.
That is, when praising something great, the more vague the better.
The more specific it is, the more dangerous it becomes!
Therefore, most of the time, the way people refer to those gods only stays at the level of authority.
For example, "Goddess of the Magic Net" and "Goddess of Darkness".
Even their real names are rarely spoken aloud.
For those great beings, a name is itself a connection.
Once the target is accurately identified, it is highly likely to attract the attention of a great being!
But now, Hyptis is not only reciting the authority and origin of "Symnasia, the goddess of nature and life".
Even the region where her former divine kingdom once stood was being sung in praise!
If Shang Tiya were still alive.
These prayers alone would probably be enough to attract the attention of that supreme deity!
That is why Hyptis dares to recite these things so unrestrainedly now.
This precisely illustrates one point.
That was Chang Tiya, who had indeed perished.
Otherwise, even if Hyptis had a thousand times the courage, he would never dare to be so "disrespectful to the chief god"!
And just as Hyptis was chanting softly, visible changes finally began to appear.
The once perfectly stable turquoise sky suddenly began to ripple with an extremely subtle ripple.
One, two, three...
The life-giving radiance that had been flowing across the sky now seemed to be drawn by some inexplicable force, and began to tremble faintly.
The feeling was like having something that had been dormant for countless years gently touched upon in its deepest memories.
And the source of all this is none other than the Spirit of the Azure Sky itself!
Or more accurately, the true essence of the Azure Sky Spirit!
The sacred artifacts of the Radiant Moon held by the four realms of the Natural God Dynasty originated from the fallen goddess of nature and life, Chang Ti Ya.
It was not made of ordinary materials, but rather fragments left over from the shattering of Chang Tiya's former divine status!
Today, Hyptis continues to chant the name, authority, kingdom, and ancient history of that chief god.
Those fragments of divinity that had been dormant for countless years... have finally begun to react!
At that moment, Lynn's face finally turned completely gloomy.
Because he finally understood that Hyptis's true purpose, from beginning to end, was never to kill them!
At this moment, the entire course of the interdimensional war began to flash wildly through Lynn's mind.
In particular, the scenes flashed by one after another from the moment he began to voluntarily leak his own information.
The divine civilization had clearly located their position, but instead of choosing the most direct method of encirclement and killing, they went to great lengths to send them into this blue and white star, and even made them "witness" Hyptis's ascension ceremony.
After that, step by step, the situation was forced to the point where it is now, forcing Lynn to use the Azure Sky Spirit. Everything seemed to be proceeding gradually.
Taken individually, each step seems to be without problems.
But at this moment, when everything is completely connected, everything suddenly becomes crystal clear, sending chills down your spine!
Because these believers of the Gods Civilization did not seem to be fighting a normal interdimensional war from beginning to end!
A normal interdimensional war should be a fierce battle of life and death, with swords drawn and weapons drawn!
But they didn't. They went through an enormous detour, even going so far as to have Hyptis ascend to godhood right there.
Their purpose was not to kill Lynn and the others at all, but rather to have other plans!
In that instant, Lynn suddenly remembered an extremely crucial question.
That is... why have the civilizations of gods continuously waged war against the natural god dynasty over the years?
They even went so far as to invest a large number of gods and legions, and the reason has always been the same: Shang Tiya!
That former God of nature and life.
The civilization of gods has always suspected that... Shang Tiya has not truly perished, or more accurately, that her condition is extremely unusual!
And the power she wields is intertwined with one of the most crucial aspects of the order of the entire kingdom and the heavens.
Therefore, the civilization of gods could never truly be at ease.
Now, all that Hyptis does.
Whether it's deliberately holding an ascension ceremony or constantly chanting the name of the god and the kingdom of the gods.
Clearly, it was all at the behest of some supreme deity!
They...are testing something!
Even Lynn felt a chill run down his spine at the thought.
An extremely bold, even terrifying, idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be... that Chang Tiya is really not dead?!
Or perhaps, although she perished, she wasn't truly "dead"?
The moment this thought crossed Lynn's mind, the hairs on his body stood on end.
Because if that's really the case...
Then, wouldn't the Azure Sky Spirit, formed from fragments of the Shangtiya divinity, mean that it itself is a part of Shangtiya?!
In other words, everything I've experienced while possessing the Spirit of the Azure Sky during this period...
Wouldn't that mean we'd always be under the watchful eye of that supreme god?!
Thinking of this, even Lynn couldn't help but feel an urge to throw the Azure Sky Spirit away.
That's the supreme god!
A great being at the ninth level!
Even if only some remnant will remains now, it is definitely not something he can access!
At this moment, Hyptis continued to chant the ancient divine name of Samya.
The Azure Sky Spirit's reaction became increasingly apparent, its cyan-green glow fluctuating constantly, and even showing a faint tendency to break free from Lynn's control!
If Lynn weren't currently suppressing the Azure Sky Spirit so tightly...
By now, Hyptis is probably already able to seize partial control!
But at that very moment, Lynn suddenly woke up.
"No! I don't believe Chang Tiya is still alive!"
Lynn's eyes suddenly narrowed.
If Ruo Shangtiya is truly still alive, then this matter could not possibly have been kept secret from the two advanced civilizations!
In the wizarding civilization, those truly great beings who stood at the pinnacle must have already observed the situation after her fall.
Similarly, it's impossible for the civilization of gods to lack the investigation of a chief god-level being!
If Ruochang Tiya really had any other unusual actions, it was impossible for her to have kept them from both major civilizations at the same time!
Moreover, what appears here now is merely Hyptis, a water god who has just ascended to godhood!
If the civilization of the gods has indeed confirmed that Chang Tiya is not dead.
Therefore, what has descended here at this moment could not possibly be just Hyptis, but rather an avatar of the chief god!
Even more extreme, those supreme gods might personally intervene and directly break the unwritten truce between the two civilizations.
....................................
At that moment, the water god Hyptis's voice remained calm, and his expression was extremely devout, but his gaze fell directly on Lynn.
"My lord, I know what your wizarding civilization did to the broken divine essence of that great god..."
"I can faintly sense that the aura... is no less than that of a true god."
"That is why, even within the realms of the heavens, the great gods once ordered people to reconnect with the aura left behind by that being in the ruins of the collapsed Eronia Mountains beyond Elysium..."
"Yet we still cannot truly take this thing away."
Hyptis's voice wasn't loud, but it caused a slight change in the expression of everyone present.
Because only at this moment did the civilization of gods truly lay its purpose completely out in the open.
They launched this interdimensional war, even at a huge cost, sending the blue and white stars across dimensions...
Its true purpose is not the Pano plane at all, but the Azure Sky Spirit in Lynn's hands!
Or more accurately, it is the fragment of the divine essence belonging to the goddess of life and nature, Chang Tiya, within the spirit of the blue sky!
Even the supreme god, once he falls, his divine kingdom will also decay.
In ancient times, the kingdom of Samyaks, the goddess of life and nature, was built on the Elonia mountain range in the realm of bliss.
That is one of the most sacred and ancient holy sites of life in the entire kingdom and heavens.
It was once a place where flowers bloomed eternally and trees never decayed, and it was known as "the garden of the great mother".
But with the fall of Chang Tiya, the divine kingdom that symbolized the origin of life also collapsed completely.
The peaks withered, the sacred trees decayed, and the once eternal and indestructible holy land of life was ultimately transformed into a desolate ruin.
According to Hyptis, the great gods of the realm took advantage of this planar war to send people to reawaken some of the aura belonging to the Shangtiya in the ruins of the Elonia Mountains.
Therefore, it's no wonder that the Spirit of the Azure Sky underwent such a strange change.
After all, the essence of the Azure Sky Spirit is a part of the incomplete divine essence of Chang Tiya!
Now that the aura of the main god has been rekindled, it will naturally trigger a certain resonance.
Heptis chuckled softly after saying this.
He didn't wait for Lynn's response at all, and continued speaking to himself: "That's why..."
"This time, I will use a method unique to the civilization of gods to truly bring back the fragments of the great god's divine essence to the heavens."
The moment the words left his mouth, Hyptis's aura changed abruptly!
boom!
Suddenly, from the vast ocean behind him, wisps of incredibly rich life force appeared.
The once deep and dark ocean is now beginning to radiate vast expanses of emerald green light.
At first, the green was just a little bit, but in an instant, it spread wildly across the entire ocean like ink spreading!
Deep blue and emerald green intertwine.
In the ocean, different shades of life, such as tender green, emerald green, and azure, are faintly emerging.
Even in the depths of that vast ocean, the phantom images of vines and the outlines of ancient trees began to slowly emerge.
A vast and ancient aura descended upon the world once more!
Supreme, sublime, and sacred.
The feeling was as if some great being was slowly awakening!
At the same time, the blue-white star below, which had already shrunk by more than half, began to shrink violently once again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Like the heartbeat of the world, it once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
And everyone had just witnessed this scene once.
That was the scene when Hypties ascended to godhood!
In an instant, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Sean the Wizard's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in disbelief:
"How is this possible?!"
"Does he... want to ascend to godhood again?!"
At this moment, Lynn calmed down completely.
Compared to the dramatic change in expression and the shock in the hearts of Sean and the others, his eyes became even more profound at this moment.
Because only now has the situation finally become truly clear.
Previously, the gods' civilization had been secretive and guided the development of the situation step by step, making it impossible for anyone to understand what they were really trying to do.
But now, with the water god Hyptis believing the situation is settled, he has taken the initiative to lay everything out in the open.
Lynn, on the other hand, was able to truly see the essence of this situation.
Since we can see things clearly, we naturally have the possibility of figuring out a way to break the deadlock.
Therefore, he forced himself to calm down.
If your mind is clear and calm, you won't be alarmed even if the sky falls. It's precisely in times like these that you must not panic.
Only with absolute calmness can one find a true way out in dire straits!
A vast amount of knowledge about the civilization of the gods flooded Lynn's mind.
In the civilization of gods, after a god completes his first ascension to godhood, he can still continue to hold the "ascension ceremony".
However, compared to the first formal ascension to the divine position, the subsequent ceremonies were not as grand or complete.
Strictly speaking, the subsequent so-called "ascension to godhood" was actually more like an expansion of authority!
Although the gods in the pantheon have an upper limit to the core authority they each control, it is not impossible for them to comprehend and integrate other related authority beyond their own.
Just like Heptis right now!
He ascended to godhood for the first time by relying on the authority of the "Water Mage," and thus successfully became the God of Water.
But now, he is using the life-related authority he has already comprehended to actively lure the life essence within the Azure Sky Spirit!
Thinking of this, Lynn's gaze grew increasingly serious.
The ascension ceremony requires three conditions.
Authority, faith, and the Kingdom of God!
Now, Hyptis has almost simultaneously fulfilled all three requirements.
First, the power of faith: countless believers burned themselves, transforming into the purest torrent of faith.
Today, that power clearly still lingers within the divine realm and has not been completely exhausted.
Secondly, the divine kingdom: Heptis had just completed his ascension to godhood, and the divine kingdom had already been forged.
Although it is not yet fully perfect, it already exists.
In other words, he now possesses the foundation to assume higher levels of authority!
As for the final authority… Lynn’s eyes flickered slightly.
Prior to this action, Hyptis had likely already encountered and sensed the aura of authority related to "life" in the heavens of the realm.
Otherwise, he could never have provoked such a strong reaction from the Spirit of the Azure Sky at this moment.
Because at this very moment, the Spirit of the Azure Sky has clearly begun to lose control!
The green canopy that enveloped everyone was trembling incessantly.
One after another, streaks of turquoise light rippled toward Hyptis like a tide.
Lynn could even clearly sense that the Spirit of the Azure Sky was actively responding to the other party!
If Lynn hadn't been forcibly suppressing it, the Spirit of the Azure Sky would probably have already flown to Hyptis on its own!
What's even more troublesome is that... the Azure Sky Spirit can no longer be returned to its body and can only remain suspended in mid-air.
Lynn could clearly feel that, as time went on, the will to "break free" within the Spirit of the Azure Sky was growing stronger and stronger.
If this continues, even he might not be able to suppress the Azure Sky Spirit anymore!
Thinking about this, Lynn finally understood Hyptis's true plan.
When Hyptis first ascended to godhood, he relied on the authority of the "water mage," thus becoming the god of water.
But now, he actually wants to use the life essence leaked from the Azure Sky Spirit to forcibly touch another, even greater authority!
That belongs to the realm of the chief god, Shangtiya!
Even if it's just a fragment of a divine spark; even if it's just a wisp of life force that's leaked out; it's still the great authority that a level nine god once truly wielded!
Something of this level is an unimaginable temptation for any deity!
If Hyptis were to successfully merge, then even if he could not truly inherit the complete life authority...
Even obtaining only a tiny fraction of it would be enough to fundamentally transform his divine status!
Because what he is doing now is no longer a simple "expansion of authority", but an attempt to forcibly elevate his divine status based on the authority of the main god!
....................................
At this moment, everyone's faces were extremely grim.
Especially Sean the Wizard, who now seemed to have his throat forcibly choked, completely silenced.
He had initially intended to mock Lynn, but now everything that had happened proved that Lynn's prediction was correct!
From the very beginning, the goal of the Gods Civilization was not simply the Pano Plane War!
Or rather, while the Pano plane is certainly important, what truly matters to the great figures of those divine civilizations is clearly the Spirit of the Azure Sky!
It could even be said that the importance of the Azure Sky Spirit far surpasses that of the entire Pano plane!
What's even more chilling is that if the Spirit of the Azure Sky is truly taken away, then the civilization of the gods will not only obtain this sacred artifact of the Radiant Moon, but will also be able to completely annex the entire Pano plane!
By then, Hyptis, having completed his second ascension to godhood, will likely have reached the level of the Radiant Moon!
That's no longer a realm that an ordinary level six Morning Star Wizard can contend with!
If things get to that point, everyone present will probably die!
Apart from Lynn, who controlled the Primal Seed, no one could have survived!
Even Lynn could only temporarily resist with the help of the Primal Seed.
If the Natural Divine Dynasty receives no support for a long time... then even he might perish here!
That is, at this very moment.
As the incredibly rich life force continued to spread, the divine power emanating from Hyptis began to surge wildly once again!
And this time, it's even more terrifying than before!
Previously, he had only progressed from the initial stage of the lower god realm to the late stage of the lower god realm step by step.
But now, the aura emanating from him is rising to another level!
That was no longer just an increase in power, but a true "transformation," a transformation at the very origin of divine status!
Rumble!
The heavens and earth roared.
The deep blue ocean and the emerald green of life intertwine, as if two majestic forces are frantically merging.
Hyptis slowly opened his arms.
His smile remained gentle and devout.
But at this moment, the aura emanating from him had begun to make even a sixth-level Morning Star wizard like Sean feel suffocated!
It's a kind of suppression based on social status, a higher-dimensional view from above on a higher level of life!
"The great god of nature and life..."
"Your glory should not be forever silenced in that broken divinity."
"I will carry a part of your glory and let it shine once again on the entire kingdom and the heavens."
The deep and solemn chanting echoed slowly between heaven and earth.
As his voice faded, a blurry, ethereal figure slowly emerged from the churning depths of the ocean behind him.
The phantom was too blurry; it appeared for only a moment before vanishing again.
Even so, everyone present still felt a chill run down their spines.
Even if they couldn't recognize it, they could guess that it was probably the phantom of the ancient goddess of life and nature, Sangia!
This scene also signifies that Hyptis's attraction to the Azure Sky Spirit has surged once again!
Originally, the competition between the two sides for the Azure Sky Spirit was only a 40/60 split.
But now, the ratio has reached 70/30!
And that "seven" clearly belongs to Hyptis!
As for Lynn... he was now barely able to suppress the Spirit of the Azure Sky!
hum!
The bluish-green light trembled wildly.
The sky that had been protecting everyone began to ripple slightly, as if the Spirit of the Azure Sky would break free from Lynn's control and fly towards Hyptis on its own initiative!
Seeing this, Sean's face turned pale, and for the first time, an undisguised impatience appeared in his beautiful eyes.
Because what's happening now is increasingly resembling a "certain death situation"!
However, at that moment, Sean suddenly heard Lynn whisper something.
The voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed as if it were just talking to oneself.
"Now... we have no choice but to give it a try."
"try?"
Sean was taken aback.
"Try what?!"
He instinctively wanted to ask more questions.
But the next moment, Sean's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size!
For in that instant, he actually sensed a trace of... divine aura emanating from Lynn! (End of Chapter)
