So... the Galaxy Really Is a River!!!
For example... ex level.
"In other words, I can be reckless, but not recklessly so." Chen Luo roughly understood.
"But does this river god really have no offensive capabilities at all?" Chen Luo complained, looking at the effects of the four river gods.
Whether it's Chen Luo's six-star River God or the River God who wasn't originally six-star, it seems that the concept of a River God itself doesn't possess any offensive power...
Chen Luo's River God Ability is quite different from the original River God Ability, because the original River God's ability was not at the six-star level at first. It was Chen Luo's strong targeting that forcibly reshaped the concept of River God and made it six-star.
Of course, Chen Luo felt that although the other party's ability was not 6 stars, it was close. Otherwise, even if the targeting was strong, it would be impossible to forcibly raise an S-rank Talent to a talent.
In the game "100,000 Cold Jokes," the river god, like Chen Luo, was able to replicate three things, but just like Chen Luo and the River God Authority he acquired, it had absolutely no offensive capabilities whatsoever.
"How dare you! Does the River God deserve to have low combat power? Is the River God only fit to be a support?"
Upon closer examination, while the River Diagram and Luo Script may have other special effects, isn't the more important one the Pre- River Diagram and Luo Script Bagua and Post-Heaven Bagua derived from them?
Isn't that also a support ability?
Increase the number of friendly units? Can that even be called support?
A true support role is to reduce the number of enemies!
"No, I must rebuild the River God's Glory!" Chen Luo said firmly, clenching his left fist.
"Ah, forget it, let's just let the puppets do their best." But the next moment, Chen Luo lay down on the sofa as if he was giving up.
It's so tiring to work hard.
The key point is that Chen Luo has been working hard for over a month.
Chen Luo no longer wanted to try.
"Speaking of which, if I were to use the Faith Power to deify my parents, how would I do it? Would I believe in a god or submit to a god?" Chen Luo, who didn't want to work hard, suddenly remembered something else that allowed him to continue without effort.
If you deify someone in your vicinity, and that person becomes a god, then if something happens to them, they can be resurrected.
"So, should I choose to follow God or become a god I believe in?" Chen Luo began to ponder.
Subordination to God and deification through faith are two different paths.
Becoming a god through faith means receiving a formally appointed divine position. However, not just anyone can become a god through faith. First, one must have sufficient Faith Power, and second, one's own strength must be considerable. Only then can one be granted godhood through faith.
While becoming a god through faith is simpler than through strength, it still requires the formation of a divine spark and a certain level of strength; the stronger the strength, the better the effect.
At the same time, since one becomes a god because of faith, one is easily changed by faith, meaning one is easily controlled by faith.
If one lacks sufficient strength and cannot maintain one's humanity, allowing divinity to overwhelm one's entire soul, then one may be transformed into a puppet called a god.
That's why the Church chose Yvette, the War Angel and the Inquisition Chief Judge, as a potential candidate for deification.
With sufficient inherent strength, all that's needed is enough Faith Power to ignite the divine fire and condense divinity...
Conferring a title upon a subordinate god is much simpler. It only requires a certain amount of Faith Power, plus the fact that you already govern this region, to make it a subordinate god.
However, becoming a subordinate god makes it easy to be pushed off the divine position.
One is a labor dispatch, and the other is a formal contract.
Because the purpose of God's existence from the beginning was to help with management, so when the true God came, He would naturally be pushed out.
"I don't know how good my parents' cultivation aptitude is. If their cultivation aptitude isn't good, they can probably only become subordinate gods, right?"
Chen Luo personally prefers his parents to become believers in God, but belief in God also requires a foundation of strength; otherwise, if humanity is overshadowed by divinity, then there will be big trouble.
Although faith in a god may be weakened if faith is lost, it will not perish if there is a true divine position. This is what makes different worlds different.
At the same time, those who believe in a god also have the ability to be resurrected after death, but if they do not receive enough faith afterward, their strength will easily weaken.
Chen Luo felt that compared to the difference between the God of Faith and the Almighty God in the Different World, the difference between these two gods in the main world was more like achieving sainthood through merit and proving the Way through force.
Can you say that achieving sainthood through merit is not powerful?
But following God is not possible. Following God can also lead to resurrection, but there are many, many limitations.
If a true god really wanted to kill you, it would be very easy for them.
Especially after becoming a subordinate god, one cannot leave one's fiefdom at will, which is a despairing fact for the two archaeologists.
"Hmm, let me think of something that can make someone's strength suddenly increase... Fusion surgery? No way."
"Among the random items I drew from these 100+ gacha pools, none of them offered a quick way to boost my strength. There were two that resurrected, though..." Chen Luo said, taking out two talismans from his backpack.
[Soul Return Talisman]
One or more resurrection platforms can be set up, and the corpse will automatically return after death.
"There is one that can extend lifespan. But there's only one. I don't know if splitting it in half will extend the lifespan of both people."
[Peaches of Immortality] (extremely simplified version): Eating it can add one hundred years to your life!
"This Soul Slayer Blade... well, I don't need it."
"Gourmet Tablecloth... maybe my parents will need it when they're out doing archaeological work."
"Emergency Call Phone? They can use that too. I hope they don't use it to pressure me into marriage. I'm only 17 this year."
"Dragon Tail Meat? What kind of weird stuff is that? I don't even know if it's edible."
"Puppet with Red String? It can summon Hell Girl to kill someone, but at the same time you have to go to Hell? Hell... I'm getting interested. I don't want anything else, I just want to go and see Hell."
"Pineapple buns? Unlimited pineapple buns? This..."
"Golden, Indestructible Diamond Child Skill? Terrifying indeed."
"The Dead Sea Scrolls? Hmm... doesn't sound like anything good?"
"A water gun? Wait, the Doresorese Special Water Gun?"
"Ink Remover? It can wash away all the ink in an instant?"
"Introduction to Succubus Studies?"
"Special Leather Whip for Succubi?"
"Achievement: The Riddler's Tree Hole? Makes it easier to become a confidant for riddlers and increases their favorability. LOL, who in their right mind would be a riddler?"
"Achievements: Friend of Middle-aged and Elderly Women? Women over 45? Haha, seriously, who's surrounded by a bunch of elderly people? Wait, over 45..."
"In short, there are so many strange things, but none of them can quickly improve my strength." After looking around at the odd items he had drawn, Chen Luo was filled with emotion.
This lottery gacha pool really has all sorts of things.
That's outrageous.
"Buzz!" Just as Chen Luo was pondering how to quickly improve his parents' strength, the halo above Chen Luo's head flashed twice, and Chen Luo felt a vibration.
"Hmm?" Chen Luo looked up at his halo, and then... then Chen Luo realized that when he looked up, the halo also moved with the top of Chen Luo head, always staying directly above his head, so he couldn't see the halo at all.
"..." After removing the aperture, Chen Luo could clearly feel the unusual movement of his Divine Authority Seal.
"Is someone communicating with me? That Council of Gods?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly as he probed the Divine Authority Seal with his spiritual power.
Chen Luo originally just wanted to give it a try, but the next moment Chen Luo mind was drawn into a huge conference room.
"Huh? How did you suddenly join?" Chen Luo was taken aback.
Chen Luo had only intended to take a look, but he was unexpectedly dragged into this situation.
Chen Luo looked up and glanced at where he was—a huge conference room.
The conference room Chen Luo was in was quite large, but it was probably a ritual for a meeting of the gods, not the kind of scene Chen Luo had imagined, like a court in heaven. Instead, it looked like a meeting between company leaders and employees.
A huge round conference table was surrounded by all sorts of people, all of whom looked quite serious. Right next to Chen Luo, there were two people sitting on either side of him.
Some of these people are clearly recognizable, while others are just shadowy figures.
Chen Luo was positioned at the very front of the conference table.
Therefore, Chen Luo could also see up close the figure sitting at the head of the conference table, radiating divine light.
The suddenness of being pulled into the group chat left Chen Luo somewhat bewildered, so Chen Luo immediately left the chat and his figure also disappeared from the meeting room.
After Chen Luo disappeared, the originally solemn and serious conference room instantly turned into a vegetable market.
"Brother, you... disappeared?"
"Hey, wasn't that the new River God who just appeared next to you?"
"How would I know? But I was never alone next to anyone before, so it must be her. It's just a pity that when I first joined the meeting, the default was not to reveal my appearance. We didn't even know if I was male or female."
"But why did he leave again? Did we scare him?"
"How should I know? You kept asking me after graduation, why didn't you ask the first person?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I remember when I went to deal with those little brats from the Abyss, I saw that the high-ranking officials in the government held meetings like this. The other party is a modern person, so why would they be scared? I even specially chose the most approachable way of holding the meeting." The figure sitting at the very front said.
"I don't know, I didn't even have time to go down to the mortal realm. You bastards didn't even bother to call me."
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Didn't we wake you up? You just didn't wake up on your own, okay?"
"Damn it, we have no experience dealing with a new god. Did we scare him?"
"I think it's possible."
"So what do we do now? Come to think of it, the other party retreated too quickly. I didn't even have time to find out whose lineage they belonged to. What about the bet?"
"Let's just make it cold. But I think it could be given to our Celestial Master's Mansion..."
"Shut up." ×n
"Fuxi, aren't you skilled in divination? Can you divine who he is?"
"Divination? How am I supposed to use my head for divination? The Luo Shu is in his hands! You bastard, you're just trying to trick me, aren't you?"
"Don't put it so harshly. I... fine, I just wanted to trick you. Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
"You think I wouldn't dare hit you? You son of a bitch!"
"..." Looking at the meeting scene, which resembled a bustling marketplace, the figure sitting at the top, radiating divine light, covered his forehead in distress.
This group of people really doesn't resemble gods at all.
Control? Controlling it is impossible; it's impossible to control it anyway.
The positions at this table may seem to determine one's status, but those who truly understand the situation know that these positions are completely meaningless.
After all, in China, divine positions are often secondary; once you have enough strength, the position will naturally follow.
The key point is that you can't just give up a position of godhood, so many people are more or less forced into it.
Therefore, most of them are cameo appearances.
For example, there's Fuxi over there and that "birdman" who's fighting with the other side.
In other mythologies, however, divine positions are still very important.
But this does not include China.
These gods, at least when there are newcomers, can still be a little serious and maintain the demeanor of seniors, but as soon as the newcomers leave, they all reveal their true colors.
Some are fighting, some are swearing, and some are showing off their love...
Hmm! Showing off their love?
Matchmaker God, aren't you going to do anything about this?
"Those gods were all too serious and looked unapproachable. They must be a bunch of ancient relics. Luckily, I ran fast." Chen Luo patted his chest with lingering fear as he quickly left the meeting of gods.
Chapter 579 So... the Milky Way really is a river!!!
"Young woodcutter... student, did you drop this gold watch? Or this silver watch? Or this ordinary watch that got wet and can't be used?" Chen Luo popped his head out of a calm stream and held up three watches, asking Chen Luo person staring at him with wide eyes.
"Holy crap, Mom and Dad, did I see a god today?!" The person who looked about the same age as Chen Luo or even a Xiao Yi sat down on the bridge, staring at Chen Luo in disbelief.
"So... which watch is it?" Chen Luo continued to smile as he looked at the other person.
"River, River God?" After Chen Luo urged him again, the other party's mind started to work, and he asked with some difficulty.
"You guessed right, a young student. So which one is it?"
"That ordinary watch that got wet and can't work is mine." After only a brief moment of thought, the young man pointed directly to the ordinary watch in the center.
LOL, who hasn't read the story of the River God these days? How could you possibly get that wrong?
"Honest and brave student, you answered correctly. As a reward, I'll give you the other two gold and silver watches." Chen Luo looked at the student with appreciation and then gently handed all three watches to him.
