"Man is born clad in a magnificent robe, crawling with fleas."
"Only when we cast off the robe and discard the filthy insects can we walk the path toward God."
In the courtyard, Li Qing bathed in the sunlight, lounging leisurely on a deck chair, enjoying the beauty of the morning. His days were as idle as those of retired old men.
Divine Techniques were indeed an interesting path.
But in Li Qing's eyes, the blueprint for the Giant God they had constructed was even more interesting.
Because this colossal life form had no microbial symbiosis from the start. The various organs they built might replace the symbiotic role of microorganisms, creating a truly independent living individual. Perhaps this was the path to becoming a God.
And Li Qing was also contemplating a question:
Were their Divine Techniques suitable for him to use?
"If I were to use it proportionally, the Divine Technique I cast would have to be to create a primordial Giant God, and then 'believe' in that God, becoming its follower, and borrowing power from it!"
"This way, I could summon a fingernail-sized piece of its body, about two meters in size."
"But the practicality isn't high. Not only does it require offering materials and energy, but the defensive capability of this Divine Technique wouldn't even stop a regular bullet."
Li Qing's eyes flickered, and he slowly shook his head.
But the technology of the first generation was always crude.
Just like the first car or train in human history. People riding in horse-drawn carriages would mock how pitifully slow they were, but what about later?
One could only say the future is promising.
This spell still had great potential.
In fact, as long as he wished, this creature construction technology could even be applied to modern Earth, bringing about a mythological revival.
To put it another way.
If he truly built an Ultraman that spanned the universe, the foolish Earthlings, by simply 'believing' in this Giant God, obtaining its DNA structure, and gaining Divine Techniques from it, could awaken a part of their body.
Constructing Ultraman's head knife? Skin? Indicator light? To fight enemies, perhaps that wouldn't be ordinary power.
But that would likely be in the distant future.
At this moment.
Susannie, from the neighboring small villa, walked out and saw Li Qing sunbathing in the adjacent courtyard, wearing sunglasses. She smiled, "Hi, Li, sunbathing?"
"Engaging in photosynthesis."
Li Qing chuckled.
"Then I won't disturb you."
Susannie clearly didn't have time to pay attention to Li Qing.
She had been secretly raising her daughter at home recently, teaching her to read and write, and was busy with all sorts of things.
Lately, she hadn't even gone to the gym, and she no longer had the right to tell someone else not to go to the gym.
Susannie now felt like she had found a treasure.
She also began to feel that fitness had its limits!
With a greater treasure right before her eyes, how could she abandon the fundamental for the trivial?
After the morning.
Li Qing finished his lunch and found that he suddenly had nothing much to do.
For the past month or two, he had been busy renovating the living room and two other rooms, turning the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment into a sealed laboratory.
Of course.
This didn't cost much money.
Mainly alloy steel plates welded and sealed internally.
A huge piece of tempered glass was installed on the ceiling of the living room to ensure sufficient sunlight, and the outside of the special glass couldn't see inside.
"Forget it, I'll study Divine Techniques." Li Qing suddenly felt a burst of interest.
He began to learn according to the technology within. Before long.
"Forest Realm Descent."
Crack.
A patch of vine-like hair, the size of a fingernail, grew out, strand by strand.
It was just a bit small.
The era had once again ushered in a fervent technological revolution.
They modified a higher version of the Giant God construction blueprint, adding various structures to facilitate summoning a part of the God's body for combat in the future.
It was called the "God Creation Plan."
And the Giant God constructed was called the God of Elves.
On this day, the new Emperor was fully enthroned.
Herodotus became the King of the Gods.
Clang!
Clang, clang!
The bell tower in front of the church was echoing.
The giant golden bell hanging in the bell tower emitted pleasant, majestic, and melodious chimes. From the luxurious giant tree reaching into the sky, it fell through the prosperous branches of countless cloud-borne trees to the earth, reverberating across the entire land, passing through rivers, forests, wastelands, caves, and tribes.
"What is that?"
"The bells of the gods?"
The elves beneath the tree looked up from their village, gazing at the sky.
The various races of the land also emerged from their caves. Fishmen swam in the rivers, and half-spider people looked up from the trees, watching the sky in surprise.
"What happened?"
Ilis, hiding in a spider cave, had recently been studying the legacy of the gods. It curiously emerged, feeling that an unimaginable divine ceremony, unknown to mortals on earth, was unfolding in the sky.
"God, the gods!"
It looked up at the sky, past the dense forest, and towards the vast, towering World Tree in the distance. Ambitiously, it murmured:
"One day, I too will ascend there! Become one of the gods!"
"In the heavens, I will overlook the entire landscape of the earth! Create my own race, stride towards eternity, step into countless future eras, and live forever!"
The life on the earth originally had the brains of elves.
Life's wisdom and emotions were incomplete, with little ambition and low creativity.
But after Ilis picked up the brain cells of a god and integrated them into its consciousness, a mutation occurred. It gained the creativity and ambition that only the gods possessed.
After the clear bell chimes rang dozens of times across the entire land.
The gods began to pray.
"This is the will of God!"
"God asked us to build the Giant God, which is another secret enlightenment for us! It implies that this is the origin of totem Divine Techniques!"
"We built the Giant God, thus gaining faith, giving us reliance. By believing in the Giant God, we obtain His Divine Techniques!"
Early morning.
The entire living room's ceiling, a large piece of tempered glass, was brightly illuminated by the sun, making the light abundant.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the giant Crystal Wall, scattering unreservedly into the room from the giant tree, falling on the eaves of the church decorated with green and red leaves. The mottled leaves intertwined to create a beautiful, painted mosaic of light and shadow. The church, built of trees, resembled a fairytale structure in the forest.
"Ah! You bless and guide all your children under heaven, enlightening us on the path of truth!"
"You enable us to communicate with each other, care for each other, and together form a vast divine body on the sole holy throne!"
"Spread your gospel throughout the world! Lead all people to the Lord!"
"In your name, we ask, imitating the body of God, to perform this technique!"
For this enthronement.
Li Qing, as always, descended a Divine Oracle.
However, it was not the enthronement of the first-generation emperor. He was too lazy to personally descend beyond the Crystal Wall. He merely descended through the Holy Dragon to place the crown on the new Human Emperor and bestow the scepter.
"The person on earth, Herodotus."
A wisp of God's will traversed the world and descended.
It possessed a completely different aura from that lazy mascot.
The consciousness wave of God's descent was mysterious and vast, as if returning to the origin of life. It was a superior aura that absolutely crushed them.
"Grass will wither, and flowers will fade."
"Only truth is eternal in this world."
He gently stroked the forehead of the king before him, his solemn voice ringing out:
"May you lead the people on earth to have faith."
"May you allow all beings to enjoy freedom, embrace courage, and step onto the path leading to us."
The Cardinal recorded all of this, forming an eternal mural.
The Elven Era, Herodotus ascended the throne, becoming the King of the Gods, the master ruling the entire civilized world.
And after the enthronement ceremony was completed.
Li Qing did not leave completely. Instead, he was enthusiastically planning to walk around and see this world.
This time, he did not use the body of the Holy Dragon, as it was too conspicuous. He had discovered a new toy: a cute little spider that had actually become half his Vassal.
