Treasure Island

The biggest difference is that being deified as a "True God".

It means gaining the recognition of other Deity, and there's even a possibility that some Avatar of Deity their congratulations!

Like the Vampire God Child, who is not recognized by any Deity and even conjures a Blood-Red Moon in the sky, he tries to appear like a "True God," but in reality, it's just a forced display of power. This is evident from the fact that the "Lady of Night," the ruler of "night," "Evil," and "Son of Night," and possessing Greater Divinity, completely ignores him. If this Lady of Night were to utter a single word, probably no one would dare to easily touch the Vampire God Child.

If Soren is deified, then it is highly likely that an Avatar of Deity will appear.

That is the Goddess of the Sea.

Because she was a direct beneficiary of Soren's rise, the expansion of the Church of the Sea in the human world was entirely due to Soren's influence. The second possible Avatar of Deity is the ' Goddess of Wealth '. From the Overseas Islands to the South Coast, to the Eastern Realm, to Arendelle, the flourishing Trade greatly influenced the Goddess of Wealth, and this prosperous Trade arose because of Soren's rule. This goddess might also Avatar with her presence when Soren was deified.

Certainly!

All of this is predicated on Soren being deified as a "True God," and absolutely not as a "False Deity."

Before me stretched an endless sea.

Trade winds blowing from the southern Tropical Rainforest have made Trade on the Eastern Route prosperous, making it the best time of year to travel to the Eastern Waters. A simple sailing journey will take you all the way to the Eastern Realm. Schools of fish can be seen migrating across the Sand Fury Island.

"Your Mightiness."

The Half-Elf first mate appeared before Soren, kneeling on one knee and saying, "The supplies you requested are ready, and the elite troops you needed are all on standby at Serpent Island."

Upon hearing this, Soren turned around and nodded slightly, saying, "Very good."

"Have them prepare to return to Port Nyanzaru with me in three days, and then we'll set off to find Treasure Island."

Treasure Island.

The Half-Elf first mate was visibly taken aback when he heard the name.

He vaguely felt the name was familiar, but couldn't quite place it. It must be an island deep within the Overseas Islands, but no one knew exactly where. In the legends of the pirates on the South Coast, there was a story about Treasure Island —an extremely valuable island located within the territory of the indigenous people of the Overseas Islands. To the left of this island was a massive Silver Mine, and to the right, a massive Gold Mine.

That's roughly the story of Treasure Island!

Throughout history, many pirates have tried to find the location of Treasure Island, but none have ever been found.

Overseas regions are naturally rich in mineral resources.

The number of Gold Mine and Silver Mine is significantly higher than in the mainland. Basically, wherever there are large indigenous tribes, there is a chance to find relatively small Gold Mine.

This is also why the indigenous people are so wealthy!

Treasure Island is the most valuable island in legend because it has two large mineral veins. Legend has it that if the island were developed, it could buy an entire country.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard of anyone finding it.

"Does Your Excellency know where the real Treasure Island is?"

The Half-Elf first mate was startled, then overjoyed. That was an astonishing fortune, enough to buy an entire kingdom. If they could really seize it, they would never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives. As for the natives of Treasure Island, the Half-Elf first mate wasn't worried at all. As long as they could pinpoint the island's location, no matter how many natives were on it, they could mobilize pirates to take it down!

Sand Fury Island.

Soren silently gazed at the Seafaring chart before him, his finger gently moving across the unmarked, unknown areas, as if searching for a general direction.

He had considered Treasure Island as early as when he was expanding overseas.

However, at that time, Treasure Island was a place that Sauron could not possibly conquer. Putting aside the large indigenous tribes there and the Demigod and False Deity they served, the monsters on the route to Treasure Island alone were enough to wipe out Soren's entire army. There was a very dangerous strait on the route to Treasure Island, where there was the largest Octopus Monster Soren had ever seen in history!

A single tentacle can be hundreds of meters long.

It took a considerable price to defeat it back then; it was the first ' Colossal Size ' level boss that Adventurer had ever killed.

Soren must pass through this monster's territory to reach Treasure Island.

While wealth was certainly one reason Soren went to Treasure Island, he was actually quite wealthy now, especially after his pirate crew prepared to settle in Port Nyanzaru, and many of them handed over their savings to Soren. Another important reason for his trip to Treasure Island was to gain Divinity and the power of Divine Rank. Soren's current Divine Rank was 27 points, just 3 points away from reaching [Moderate Divinity], at which point he would gain +1 to all his attributes again.

This is a huge boost in capabilities!

Then there are the Demigod and False Deity of Treasure Island. This is currently the easiest way for Soren to obtain Divine Rank Value. Dealing with these native Demigod and False Deity is much easier than challenging real Deity. Soren is currently only 2 points away from obtaining Divine Rank Value. Once he gets them, he will obtain [Faint Divine Rank], which, like Faint Divinity, grants a +1 to all attributes.

In this way...

Soren would essentially get +2 to all attributes simultaneously!

Only then did he truly enter the realm of Deity, possess Deity- level power, and meet the standards for transforming into Avatar Form.

All attributes +2.

This is incredibly attractive to Soren and is key to his future success in the Time of Troubles!

If he continues to ascend, he will likely have to challenge other Deity.

Da da da.

Soft footsteps approached, and soon the tall figure of the Psion appeared before Soren, bowing slightly as he said, "My Lord, the matter you arranged has been completed."

"The only things left are the God-Conferring Ceremony and the military parade, which will probably take one or two months to prepare."

"What are your plans, my My Lord?"

Soren withdrew his finger from the Seafaring chart, gently rolled it up, and then looked up at the Psion in front of him.

He fell into deep thought.

Soren tapped his fingers in thought for a while before saying in a deep voice, "A low-key investiture of a god, a high-profile military parade!"

In an instant.

The Psion's eyes lit up, and he humbly bowed, saying, "My Lord is wise!"
