Don't look at it. Almost all the gods in Marvel Universe only exist on the background board. They will only show up reluctantly when they are needed to advance the plot.
But in fact, the gods are more active than people think.
However, there is one thing that myths and legends do not say rightly, that is, it is not belief that creates the gods.
Only a small part of the gods were born through faith. For the vast majority of the gods, their power actually comes from the source of their bloodline inheritance.
To be precise, most of the gods are aliens who were born with divinity. It was only in the long years that they developed various distinctive civilizations and established various god systems recognized by other civilizations in the universe.
However, for some reason, the gods seem to have some kind of restriction and do not appear too much on the earth, or even do not appear directly on the earth at all.
More than anything, they just want to ensure that their faith on earth is immortal, even if there is only one last believer. These believers may not even know that they are actually believers of a certain god.
In fact, if people didn't have the intention to distinguish and observe carefully, people wouldn't even be able to discover that the gods of the earth have taken action on the earth.
Many superheroes and super villains on earth were born because of the power of the gods.
The most well-known ones are Juggernaut created by the power of Cyttorak, Ten Rings created by Jade Emperor and Xu Wenwu created by, the Kamar-Taj mages created by the trinity Agamotto, the most famous of which are Ancient One and Strange.
There is also the king Black Panther who was born from Heart-Shaped Herb created by Bast and passed down from generation to generation in the country of Wakanda.
And Spider-Man created by Spider-Totem.
There are also Egypt's agents of the moon god Khonshu and the high priest Moon Knight, etc...
If the earth is regarded as a grand stage, then these superheroes and supervillains are the carefully dressed models of the gods, exerting their charm here to the fullest, allowing more people to remember them, love them, fear them, and even... believe in them!
It can be said that the love and killing of these superheroes and super villains are all invisibly spreading faith and harvesting faith for the gods behind them, who they know or don't know.
Moreover, these all happen naturally, without force or deception. Everything is their own choice, their own destiny, some coincidence or accident.
In Main World, when the irrational existence of Li Ge is discovered by Odin and the Ancient One, it means that he himself has fallen into the eyes of the gods.
And just when they had thoughts about Li Ge, Li Ge turned into a being that they couldn't afford to offend, or even looked up to, at a speed that even the gods were horrified by.
No one knows what exactly happened in Pantheon, and no one knows what calculations and thoughts the gods have.
Anyway, until now, the only gods on earth that Li Ge has seen in a real sense are members of the pantheon Asgard.
Other pantheons and gods have never appeared in front of Li Ge from beginning to end.
Even if Li Ge opens something like Path to Godhood that can directly eliminate the belief of the gods, not even a single god has come to trouble Li Ge.
They were so able to hide and so sensible that Li Ge subconsciously ignored the existence of the gods of the earth.
It's not that he ignored it, Li Ge just didn't care. He even discovered that some weaker gods began to sneak into Tower Reaching Heaven, like others, to gain different powers and enter different realms.
After all, according to Li Ge's classification of realms, in addition to long lifespans and powerful bodies, many gods' real power only hovers between the Transcendent Realm and Divine Power Realm.
Those who can reach the level of the Domain Realm are already very few top gods, or even Main God from some weak gods.
Because, according to the power that can be unleashed in each realm divided by Li Ge, Perfect Body Realm corresponds to the ability to destroy houses, Transcendent Realm corresponds to the ability to level blocks, Divine Power Realm corresponds to the ability to destroy cities, and Domain Realm corresponds to the ability to flatten a country or a continent.
How did Li Ge see that the power of many gods only hovered between the Transcendent Realm and Divine Power Realm?
This has to mention the valuable information and reference provided by Asgard gods to Li Ge.
How should I put it, some famous gods, their power shows, already has some characteristics of the Domain Realm designed by Li Ge, but in fact they can only exert the power of the Divine Power Realm at most.
This is Thor!
Don't look at it. After he uses his ultimate move, dark clouds always cover the sky and thunder dances wildly, just like a thundercloud field.
But in fact, the biggest result he achieved was to destroy small towns and urban areas, which was still a little short of destroying cities with one strike, barely reaching the level of the Divine Power Realm.
As for those gods who meet the Domain Realm standard, if we insist on saying so, Li Ge is only found among Asgard, Odin and Hela.
Their real power is of course not just Domain Realm. After all, of the two of them, one can destroy stars and the other controls Helheim. According to Li Ge's division of realms, it should be the next realm of the Domain Realm that he has not yet created.
The power that bursts out corresponds to being able to destroy stars.
Of course, the reason why the gods are gods is not only because of the power they display, but also their understanding and control of various rules.
If you look at the degree of control the gods have over the rules, Thor is truly Domain Realm.
However, compared to the Divine Power Realm and Domain Realm created by Li Ge, the power of the gods does not have such obvious realm divisions and differences between each realm.
They do not have an energy core that Divine Power Realm condensed with energy, nor do they have a concrete domain time and space that Domain Realm uses to control various rules and their own Soul Stone will.
Their way of distinguishing between strong and weak is very crude, that is, they first compete to see whose bloodline is more noble and whose heritage is more ancient, and then finally compete directly with each other.
You see there are so many gods, can any of them create a Path to Godhood that can be climbed layer by layer like Li Ge?
Most of them are still resting on their laurels, with a little innovation, but they are just going back and forth on the original basis, without any real changes that can completely transform them.
Even some systems that can barely be called cultivation systems have a lot of problems. It depends more on talent and accumulation, as well as the willingness and effort of the gods and demons behind the system.
The representative system is the white magic of Kamar-Taj.
If they don't do some ruthless work, such as stealing the power of Dimensional Demon God, or directly integrating some dimensional life, or simply sacrificing everything to the evil god in exchange for power, or relying on some powerful artifacts that have been passed down for a long time, magicians will never be able to match the gods and demons with their own power.
After cultivating over and over again, in the end, it will all be in vain. Even my own Soul Stone will become the price charged by the gods and demons.
Therefore, in the eyes of Li Ge, the gods on earth are just some of the benefits that come from bloodline and long years.
Even if some ordinary people have the origin of the gods, they will not be any worse than them in the end.
They even intentionally or unintentionally blocked the possibility of ordinary people becoming gods. For this reason, they did not even come up with a truly normal cultivation system in hundreds of millions of years.
So much so that only by relying on some irreproducible luck or a genius who takes the wrong path can we break through the limitations and reach or even surpass the gods.
It's like Strange, it's like Bruce, it's like Tony, it's like... Jean Grey and Li Ge themselves!
