Chapter 86: Emi with Incredibly Good Luck (4/4)
I found the method to become a god.
Lide heard these words and looked bewildered, wasn't this a bit beyond the scope?
He had just reached level 11, and the highest level Emi had was 15, it seemed too early to research godhood.
There were Transcendent levels above Legendary, and only the strongest began considering ascension after level 25.
Based on current progress, it would take a long time to reach level 20 to become Transcendent.
Researching how to become the strongest creature in the world just after leaving the novice village, wasn't that too ahead of its time?
Although it was still early, the words of ascension nevertheless quickened Lide's heartbeat.
"How did you research it?"
Emi looked at the curious eyes of the group, with a trace of pride.
"Ancestor Crown, I was originally a missionary in the Knight Temple. During an expedition while fighting heretics, I was severely injured and my body was heavily corroded by Shadow Energy.
Later, by coincidence, I joined Green City's underground force—Dark Contract, and with the help of the president of Dark Contract, I changed professions to become a Shadow Priest."
"After becoming a Shadow Priest, I gained the talent to traverse the Shadow Plane, and ordinarily, I became accustomed to using this talent.
While inside the Knight Temple, I accidentally entered the Shadow Plane influenced by the Knight Temple, causing the external space coordinates to shift strangely.
I don't know why, but I intruded into the Knight God's Divine Country."
Wow~
These words stunned Lide.
Breaking into the Knight God's Divine Country? That was too absurd.
That was a Divine, the most formidable existence in this world, could a mere level profession accomplish this?
"In that Divine Country, I sensed countless believers praying, and the Power of Faith converged within the Divine Country."
Emi's eyes sparkled with fervor.
"It's a feeling indescribable by words, the foundation of Divine Power is believers. In the Knight God's Divine Country, I perceived how to extract the Power of Faith."
Damn, this was too messed up.
Lide couldn't help but curse.
This guy not only entered someone else's Divine Country but also discovered crucial information, no wonder he earned the title of blasphemer.
The Knight God couldn't possibly tolerate this.
"Later, the Knight God discovered my presence, but he seemed severely injured and couldn't act.
Under the dignity of the Divine, I could only flee. Fortunately, I found the space coordinates interfered with by the Knight Temple.
After leaving the Knight Temple, I was hunted by all the priests of the Knight Temple, leading to almost incurable injuries.
During my escape, I mingled with a group of civilians, hoping the large numbers would disrupt the Knight Temple's pursuit.
But with the Goddess of Luck's grace, that group of fleeing civilians was brought back to Dawn City by the Bloodline, and I became one of them because I was too injured to escape."
Finally, Emi roughly narrated how he became a blasphemer.
After listening, Lide couldn't help but marvel at this guy's luck.
Injured during battle, he could switch to a hidden profession and gain shadow-related talents.
Using his talents inside the Knight Temple led him into the Divine's Divine Country, and the most messed up part was discovering the method of ascension.
Not only that, after escaping, he wasn't killed, but instead, the Bloodline brought him to Dawn City, where he gained eternal life as a Bloodline.
Lide truly wondered if this guy was favored by the Goddess of Luck. Despite recurrent crises, not only did he survive but he also gained so many benefits.
Now, all of this belonged to him, even Emi was his personal property.
Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This seemed quite nice.
"Is the method of ascension believers?"
"Yes, but not exactly," Emi shook his head, his eyes flickering with fervor, knowing the method of ascension planted an obsession in his heart, perhaps he too could become one of those mighty beings.
After transforming from Knight Temple Priest to Shadow Priest, he lost his reverence for the Divine, otherwise, he wouldn't venture to use spiritual power to explore after entering the Knight God's Divine Country.
"Divines first need to spread faith, then collect faith, and finally condense faith into Divine Power. When the Divine Power becomes intense enough, it can ignite Divine Fire and become a true Divine."
Witnessing Emi's adamant expression, Lide was deep in thought. Emi made it sound simple, but none of this could be achieved easily.
First was spreading faith. On the Main Plane, humans are the wealth of various Divines; most people already possess their own faith, trying to spread a new one is almost unbelievably difficult.
Collecting faith and condensing it into Divine Power, this could only be imagined; Lide estimated that a Legendary Level profession would be needed for such ability.
"Alright, regarding ascension, don't discuss it with anyone else for now. You can research privately, and if you need resources, you can apply to me."
Lide's expression was very serious; the fewer people knew about this, the better.
Although ascension was tantalizing, it was of little use to the current Bloodline. The subject was too advanced for practical use right now.
Thinking about making a spaceship while still using stone tools was certainly beyond the scope.
But he could let the other continue researching; there might be opportunities in the future.
Receiving Lide's approval, Emi nodded excitedly, "Yes, Ancestor Crown, I will research it."
Lide saw Emi's excited expression and shook his head, refraining from dampening the mood. As long as he was happy, it was fine.
For the Bloodline's only 15th-level high-combat power, a bit of tolerance was necessary.
Lide suddenly remembered something and instructed Emi.
"The Holy Light Bloodline isn't the evil vampires you imagine. Spend some time with Harrison learning about Bloodline history, don't lightly harm humans of Dawn City.
They're our personal property, Bloodline's future is intertwined with these humans.
The better humans develop, the stronger our Bloodline will become."
Emi could already sense Bloodline was different from other vampires, and hearing Lide say this, he nodded thoughtfully.
His perception of Lide shifted.
"Are you saying Bloodline should rely on human power for development?"
Lide, seeing Emi grasp it instantly, nodded in satisfaction, a Priest with decades of experience in human society was indeed insightful.
"Exactly, Bloodline relies on humans; independent development is impossible.
The only safe way to grow Bloodline is through a sustainable development strategy.
The future of Dawn City will undoubtedly implement this strategy, where humans are the most crucial resource, the foundation of Dawn City.
Later, you must clearly understand this with Harrison, and don't do anything that undermines our foundation."
"Yes, Ancestor Crown."
"Alright, you all communicate here; I'm leaving first."
After speaking, Lide stopped paying attention to them and turned to leave.
Having been busy all day, he was a bit fatigued, plus he had just leveled up and hadn't had time to delve into research.
As for Emi's additional background and his ability to enable humans and Bloodline to switch to Shadow Priest, he had plenty of time to explore slowly, no rush now, better to inspect his own changes.
After more than a month, he finally leveled up from 10 to 11—no small feat.
