Banner of the Evil God

This old man is the great elder of the Harvest Goddess Church who has been in seclusion for many years and never appears. As early as two thousand years ago, he had broken through the limit of the legendary realm and cultivated into an immortal demigod body. For so many years, he has been living in seclusion in a small world commonly known as the "demi-plane" by mages, concentrating on cultivation, hoping to succeed in becoming a god as soon as possible. But time has passed, and two thousand years have passed. He feels that although he has made some progress, he is still a long way from becoming a god, and he can't even see any hope.

In this situation, he gradually began to become discouraged and depressed. In the past hundred years, he has basically been in a state of depression and doing nothing. In recent years, because the Harvest Goddess Church has suffered a heavy blow in the main plane, the Harvest Goddess is determined to promote a subordinate god, so she found him and asked him if he was willing.

Generally speaking, demigods are unwilling to become subordinate gods through this direct promotion method. Because in this way, their own path will be modified, and all past efforts will be wasted. Moreover, there will be huge risks when becoming a god. It is very likely that due to different paths, there will be deviations in understanding and grasp, which will eventually lead to failure and fall.

Although there is a risk of falling due to insufficient understanding and grasp when deifying by one's own strength and understanding, in practice, the success rate of deifying by one's own efforts is much higher than that of being promoted to deification. Moreover, after being promoted to deification, generally, one can no longer move forward. Unless one is extremely lucky and talented, and can improve and master one's original path again and achieve a second deification, otherwise, one can only stay at the level of weak divine power for a lifetime, and it is impossible to make any further progress.

Throughout the ages, the number of gods who can achieve a second deification is so small that it can be almost ignored. In other words, this path is actually a dead end.

But for this great elder, he has given up the idea of ​​deifying by his own strength anyway, so even if he can't make any further progress, what does it matter? He can't even deify himself, so whether he can make progress after deifying has nothing to do with him?

But he is still afraid of death, so he is inevitably a little uneasy and a little nervous now, and his heart is in turmoil.

It is too dangerous to deify through this path!

But he still wanted to be a god. No matter how dangerous it was, he would die with regret if he didn't give it a try. Moreover, the orders of Her Majesty the Goddess had to be respected. Her Majesty the Goddess's protection and help contributed greatly to his success. At this moment, Her Majesty was in trouble and needed a follower god to help. He had no choice but to find him.

This was like a lump sum withdrawal. The various helps that the Goddess of Harvest had given him over the years were equivalent to a series of deposits. Now that he was asked to become a follower god, it was like withdrawing all the money at once. It was fair and reasonable. It was fair and reasonable.

If it weren't for the protection and help of the Goddess of Harvest, he would have died long ago. Even if he survived by chance, he would not have become a demigod. This was like on Earth, a person who relied on hugging thighs as a younger brother to get ahead, then when his boss needed him to take risks, he probably had no right to refuse.

At this moment, he stood on the holy emblem, looking at the danger he was about to face, and couldn't help but recall his life experience.

(I remember that when I was young, I was an ordinary knight. Although I believed in His Majesty, I was not very devout. Later, I encountered a huge opportunity and learned a big secret. If I operated it properly, I could get an amazing amount of wealth, but I couldn't take it by my own strength. At that time, I chose to tell the secret to His Majesty's church and rely on the power of the church to benefit. Since then, I have become the backbone of the church and have come to this day step by step...)

(If... I didn't choose to rely on the power of His Majesty's church to defeat the enemy, but chose to give in and endure, waiting for the next opportunity, and just change the way forward, what would happen?)

(...It will probably be like this. After all, I am an ambitious man. It is impossible for me to give in and wait like this for my whole life. And if I want to move forward and want to gain opportunities, I can mostly rely on His Majesty's church. In the end, it's nothing more than a detour, and the result will not be much different from now.)

(My life trajectory is probably destined.)

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and the idea of ​​depression rose in his heart again.

At this time, another idea couldn't help but emerge.

(Can I succeed this time?)

(I should be able to. I have encountered danger more than once in the past, and I have experienced more dangerous things than this, but I succeeded.)

(But... I had your majesty protecting me at the beginning. Can your majesty still protect me now?)

(I should be able to. It's just the deification. The problem your majesty faces is much more advanced than this. Even if a wealthy businessman has some difficulties in capital turnover temporarily, it is easy for him to help a farmer get rich.)

(Yes, that's right, right! Haha!)

(The goddess who never shows up and always weaves and manipulates the thread of fate in the dark, the fate you set for me should not end here, right?)

(I think as an actor on your stage, I am quite dedicated and my performance is not bad. You will let me continue to perform, right?)

He thought silently, and his heart could not calm down.

Time passed bit by bit, after the day came the night, and the night slowly passed away, and a new day was about to come.

At midnight, the Harvest Goddess Church organized residents of the entire city to pray together according to the drill.

It is not easy to be promoted to God, especially for those who have not been able to reach the end of their own path and whose own background is far from sufficient.

If you want to promote people like Wall and Akane who already have enough background, it can be said that it will happen easily. The gods only need to push them at the critical moment, and the possibility of failure is very slim. But this approach is not actually a true promotion from God. Promotion from God in the true sense refers to someone like the great elder of the Church of the Harvest Goddess, who is obviously not good enough to become a god, but insists on giving him to him. Lift up.

Although this world does not have the allusion of "pulling seedlings to encourage growth", there are similar stories. What is the result of forcing seedlings to encourage growth? Everyone knows it.

Therefore, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest made as much preparation as possible. The church spent a lot of money to transform the entire Rem City so that there were holy symbols and icons everywhere. The goddess herself spared no expense to ensure that all these holy symbols and icons had sufficient divine power. A large number of devout believers were mobilized from all directions, and they even used their magic power to brainwash all the residents of Rem City into followers of the Harvest Goddess.

At least for this period of time, this city is the goddess's sanctuary, the kingdom of God on earth!

In the Pantheon, many gods are paying attention to the situation in Rem City. At least twenty gods came down to observe the incarnations. Even Sui Xiong was summoned by Weiye to separate an incarnation and visit from a distance.

"Do you think they can succeed?" Sui Xiong asked curiously, looking at Rem City where the holy light was gradually rising in the dark night.

Weiye shrugged, and his handsome appearance made his action look particularly handsome: "How do I know? There is never any certainty in this kind of thing. Since I became a god, I have seen many attempts to promote subordinate gods. , Generally speaking, there are more failures than successes. In other words, failure is normal, success... well, it can’t be said to be abnormal, anyway, it is definitely not as normal as failure.”

"Monitor (the Harvest Goddess) will definitely be very unhappy when she hears what you said." The goddess of wealth, Mannes, said with a smile, but there was a hint of gloating in her words.

The reason why the Harvest Goddess was under so much pressure that she took the risk of promoting her to a subordinate god, he was also one of the culprits.

"You are really petty." Morani laughed loudly, "But considering that Monitor has been plotting against my little earthworm, I am also inclined to let him suffer misfortune."

"It won't hurt your muscles and bones anyway." Silent Warrior Mo whispered, and then picked up the wine gourd.

He seemed to be drinking wine all day long, as if he was soaking in a wine jar.

Yorgardman, the God of Justice, remained silent and carefully watched the situation in Rem City. He looked attentively at the old man who was standing at the highest point of the temple, absorbing the power of faith from the Holy Emblem at close range, without even blinking.

Sui Xiong saw that he was so entranced and couldn't help but look at it carefully for a while. But he really couldn't see what he was famous for. He just thought that the old man was pretty good and might be able to play a role.

But just as he was thinking about this secretly, Joel Gardman sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

"This man has lost his spirit and lacks fighting spirit and determination. He will not be able to take that crucial step." Joel Gardman said in a low voice, "It is another matter to become a god like Wall. Generally speaking, no matter what There are generally two difficulties in becoming a god by yourself or promoting one. The first difficulty is to test the understanding and mastery of the path you are going to take. The second difficulty is to test whether you can unswervingly believe in your own understanding and understanding. The grasp is correct. The first half is not a problem with the help of Monitor. But for the second half...it is not easy for a person who takes other paths to change his own path. Most of God’s failures are in this aspect, and it seems that there will be another example today.”

Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked in confusion: "Didn't the harvest goddess choose that path for him? Doesn't he believe in the gods he believes in?"

"I believe... this is easier said than done!" Joel Gardman shook his head, "If he was asked to die for Monitor, he might not hesitate. But if he is asked to die for Monitor, And if he completely denies his own path and what he has been pursuing for a long time, can he really be unwavering in his heart without hesitation or concern? "

Sui Xiong thought carefully and shook his head.

"Yes, so it is difficult to promote people from God! It is difficult! It is difficult!"

"But why are there so many successful ones?" Weyer asked curiously.

"People who succeed always have their own reasons." Joel Gardman said with a smile, "But people who fail are all the same."

"That's a good statement!" Sui Xiong turned his tentacles into a thumbs-up gesture, "Brother, you are actually quite philosophical. Why don't you consider changing your image? For example, get a shiny silver armor and comb your hair. If you are tidy and have a more serious expression, there will definitely be a lot more people who believe in you.”

Joel Gardman smiled again. He shook his head and his eyes became distant: "For me, justice means standing on the side of the weak who are oppressed and harmed, and fighting against those who oppress them and harm them. Those who need my help Most of the people are in a very embarrassing situation, why should I make myself look like a guy who oppresses and harms them? "

"You still have to look good, you look like a beggar on the street, it's hard for others to believe in you."

"Haha! I never ask for people's faith, on the contrary, I would rather people never need to believe in me or pray to me!" Yorgadman laughed, "If one day, I will fall due to lack of faith, then I will definitely say goodbye to you with a smile - that will be my best, most perfect, and most dreamy ending."

As he spoke, the eastern sky turned pale, and dawn arrived.

This also means that the key moment of the ceremony of promotion from the gods has arrived!

Happy birthday to "Yun Guang Shi Liu Fei"!
