Overgod Ascension

rustle!

The sunlight shines through the window sill into the study, making the air seem to be filled with a layer of dust.

In the quiet study room, the only sound was the sound of Wu Ming flipping through books.

"It turns out that ancient books call this continent the Seer Continent, and the Wind Firefly Plain is only a part of it. There are also huge territorial blocks such as Highlands, Storm Cape, University City, Emerald Port, etc., which gave birth to many large and small territories. Kingdoms and principalities…”

"On the Fengying Plains, the first person to unify them was Conqueror Taller. He was the original blue-blooded man. The kingdom he established split apart more than two hundred years later, and large and small nobles were formed. He was the leader of the Fengying Plains. The decisive force, called the blue-blood aristocracy, strongly excludes other outsiders and circles..."

"The church once expanded, and the 'Lord' it believed in performed miracles. However, it was later unanimously boycotted by the mainland for interfering with the nobility and royal power. At this time, the church not only had to face the challenges of many pan-faiths and totem ancestor worship, We must be even more hostile to the nobles. The right to preach belongs to the lord. If you preach without the consent of the lord, the lord has the right to hang that missionary!"

From a record, Wu Ming clearly saw the boundaries between gods and humans: “Let what belongs to gods belong to gods, and what belongs to humans belong to kings and nobles!”

Although it is only a short line, the bloody struggle between divine power and royal power almost overflows from every letter.

"You must be familiar with history to better understand the current situation..."

After Wu Ming briefly understood the situation in Fengying Plain, he focused on knights and other extraordinary powers.

What kind of power should be developed in a world with such strict restrictions, a world where even God cannot easily intervene?

"miracle……"

Wu Ming was naturally most interested in the power that the 'Lord' of that church had shown.

"The Lord said, I have separated the mountains and rivers and come, and my agent will receive the authority of strength...The Holy Gabriel is the one whom I favor..."

"In the year of the plague, Saint Gabriel followed the oracle and brought a thousand followers of the Lord to the edge of the Devil's Strait. He said - the Lord has given us the authority to walk in the sea! The sea suddenly parted, responding to The call of the saint..."

Wu Ming read a record: "Separating the sea? It is indeed a miracle...especially in this kind of world..."

The era of Saint Gabriel was the most glorious era for the church, but since that time, the gods they believed in had never performed miracles, and even Gabriel gradually aged and died.

"Could it be that you couldn't make ends meet and lost all your money?"

Wu Ming guessed maliciously.

In terms of the harshness of this world, the amount of power required to change reality to such an extent is as high as mountains and oceans. Even if it is supplemented by faith, it may not be enough.

Gods also need to be managed. Once the power of faith cannot make ends meet, I am afraid that they will only be seriously injured and fall asleep.

He strongly suspected that this was the reason why the Lord had not sent down any clear oracle even since the decline of the church.

After reading this brief history of religion, Wu Ming opened another scholar's manuscript, which was about the mystery of knights.

"The promotion of knights was once considered a gift from the Lord, until other great nobles also discovered the secret of holy oil and were able to complete the baptism of knights alone..."

"In knight baptism, holy oil, oaths and rituals are all very important. The former determines the foundation, while the latter determines the extent of improvement..."

"In the church, when a knight of glory puts on his white robe, he needs to renounce everything in the world, and at the same time be loyal to the Lord and fight for the gods all his life!"

"The knight baptisms of other great nobles are similar, but the object of the oath is changed to the lord he is loyal to..."

"It can be inferred from this that oaths and rituals are only superficial. What really determines the extent of promotion and success or failure is the knight's own belief! Fanaticism and firm belief are both helpful to the knight's breakthrough..."

This manuscript obviously had a lot of research on knights, and it was unknown which scholar left it. The analysis was quite reasonable, and Wu Ming nodded repeatedly after reading it.

"Faith! In fact...this is the requirement for mental power!"

He put down the manuscript and rubbed his eyes: "The physical fitness reaches the limit of the race, the mental strength meets the requirements, and the key-like holy oil is the three major elements to unlock the extraordinary!"

There has never been a scholar with such insight as him who can look at problems from a fundamental and high-level perspective.

"The promotion of knights, apart from the ingredients of the holy oil, there is no secret to me..."

Wu Ming thought with a little regret: "After searching through the collections of several scholars, I can only find a few clues about the extraordinary nature of the priest... But how can I really believe in a certain god?"

The sixth-level power can activate the power of the world and act like a god in its own world.

Even if you encounter a more ignorant race, those with level 5 or even level 4 strength will be worshiped as gods.

But in Wu Ming's opinion, even a seventh-level Golden Immortal or even an eighth-level Daluo could not make him bow down and offer his faith.

"Except for priests, there are only a few legends about thaumaturges and wizards..."

Wu Ming scratched his head.

Ever since he saw the history of the church's decline, he had a premonition.

It seems that from the time the gods performed their miracles, the world, and even the universe, began to strongly reject the power of the legal system.

After all, the composition of this universe is quite strange. It is not a collection of many worlds, but only the middle world, or in other words, this Seer world, is the core of the entire universe!

"In this case, if the line of this world is changed, the benefits obtained may be beyond imagination!"

Wu Ming walked out of the study, politely said goodbye to the housekeeper, and asked him to say hello to Scholar Lu Lun.

…

"No matter what, let's get the seeds of extraordinary power first... In the competition, there will be freedom knights joining..."

This kind of free knight is a guy who obtained holy oil through various means, and was lucky enough to pass the knight's baptism, and has the strength of a knight.

They have power but no corresponding honor and rights. They can only hang out among adventurers and mercenaries, waiting for opportunities to come.

In the last battle between the Earl of Blue Mountain and Viscount Garcia, many such knights took refuge in Viscount Garcia and became the backbone of the Earl's military force.

Now, the Earl of Blue Mountain also realizes their role.

Opposite to the free knights, there is also a kind of "noble knight", which refers to a guy who has knights and fiefs but no knight strength.

Although Wu Ming is confident in his overall strength, and such free knights are quite rare. Most of them have joined Viscount Garcia and have been canonized as knights, but there is no guarantee that a few will appear in this competition.

It is always necessary to make more preparations.

"Dear Mr. William, after receiving your notice, I have arrived as quickly as possible!"

In the hotel, Wu Ming ordered two golden rums and looked at the triangular eyes in front of him.

He was the guy who tried to steal last time and was taught a lesson by Wu Ming. He was nicknamed Rat Quark and was extremely familiar with the dark places of Whistling City.

At this time, in front of Wu Ming, Mouse Quark lowered his head humbly: "What can I do for you?"

"I'm going to the black market, the biggest in Whistling City!"

Wu Ming stared into Quark's eyes.

"It's very simple. As long as you show enough financial resources in front of the examiner, I will be happy to introduce you!"

Quark immediately relaxed when he heard this.

Thinking of William's performance that day, he already regarded him as a free knight who had experienced the baptism of knights.

Such people are either the second or third son of a noble family with a profound background, or they have mastered powerful forces such as mercenary groups and guilds, and each of them is difficult to mess with.

If he gets involved, it will also help his future.

"I would like to ask, what are you going to buy on the black market?"

Quark asked cautiously.

"of course……"

Wu Ming's voice sounded like a mosquito, but it reached Quark's ears clearly.

"really……"

After hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Quark's face: "This kind of thing is only possible in the black market of Whistling City... But, my lord, are you prepared to pay enough for it?"

"You don't need to worry about this!"

Holy oil, enough to complete the baptism of knights, is not a small sum no matter where it is.

After all, it needs to be applied on the body for several days!

But Wu Ming's requirements are different. He only needs a small spoonful, and the rest is to try to deduce the formula himself.

Of course, this is his secret, so he won't tell Quark.

"At midnight two days later, there happens to be a black market transaction... Presumably the items you need will appear. How about I invite you then?"

Quark thought for a moment and replied.

"Two days later, midnight? I remember..."

Wu Ming waved his hand, and Quark drank the golden rum in front of him without missing a drop. He bowed respectfully and left before the maid brought Wu Ming's steak.

"Mr. William, your steak!"

The hotel maid put away Wu Ming's dinner and gave him another wink.

The maids in this kind of hotel usually have a part-time job in a second job. In addition, Wu Ming spends a lot of money and is not bad looking, so she naturally becomes a very hot target.

"Thanks!"

Wu Ming thanked him politely and gave him a tip.

A trace of sadness appeared on the waitress's face, and she turned and left.

…

Two days later, the stars and moon filled the sky, coating the earth with a silvery glow.

Wu Ming wore a cloak, covering his face, and came to the agreed place, next to a broken bridge.

"Sir, is that you?"

After a while, Quark's voice came from the bridge hole.

"it's me!"

Wu Ming's ears twitched, and he was very satisfied with Quark's knowledge.

In fact, he was a little paranoid. Although there was a certain force behind Quark, he did not dare to attack an official knight.
