Chapter 70: Advancement to [Medium Divine Power]!
Time passed day by day.
After killing the Lord of Shadows, Soren’s figure seemed to suddenly disappear.
There was no news about him from the outside world; instead, Gloria became more active. Currently, almost all matters big and small in Modo City were handed over to her. Essentially, everyone believed that Gloria had become the current ruler of Modo City, gradually replacing Soren on the stage of secular power.
The changes in Modo City continued to unfold.
Every day, new changes occurred in Modo City, especially after the alchemical creation cement developed by the Northern Witches appeared, the transformation of the entire city became astonishing. Roads were being repaved daily, and new tall and magnificent buildings were being erected one after another. More and more witches were rallying under Gloria’s banner, with even wizards from other places coming to pay their respects, hoping to gain some knowledge from the time of the Arcane Empire.
The changes in the Temple also continued.
During this period, the temple almost held large prayer ceremonies every day, and the divine brilliance over the Grand Temple became more and more dazzling.
Finally!
When this divine brilliance reached a certain critical point, a golden beam of light shot into the sky!
Then, Soren’s figure appeared in midair.
It was a hazy golden figure, looking down from above at the entire Modo City. This was Soren’s divine form, which only appeared when he advanced to [Medium Divine Power].
In the central square.
Thousands of believers gathered in the square, divided into three factions: one was the Judgment Department, primarily composed of Stealth Assassins and Assassins; another was the Central Zone, mainly made up of Holy Spirit Priests and other special professions. The last was the Bishopric, mostly core priests from the Church. Behind them was a sea of believers, who were devoutly kneeling on the ground, holding a grand prayer ceremony.
“My Lord Soren!”
“You are the Master of Shadows!… You are the Lord of Modo!… You are the Protector of Half-Elves!…”
“My Lord Soren!”
“You are the Guardian of Order!… You are the only True God of Wanderers!… Your enemies will have no place to hide!…”
“My Lord Soren!”
“Your name will become sacred in the mortal realm!… You led us through crises!… You have granted us a stable and orderly life!… You are the Master of Shadows!… You are the Wise Ruler!… You are the Protector of Half-Elves!… Killing will make you even stronger!… The d*ath of enemies spreads your brilliance!… Your kingdom will protect our souls!… When d*ath descends, your servants will gain rebirth in your kingdom!…”
“My Lord Soren!”
“You will rise to belong to your kingdom!… Transform into the stars in the sky!…”
………………
The surging divine power gathered.
This divine power fell directly from Soren’s divine form, then dispersed among the believers in the entire central square.
The power of the Shadow Realm was spreading.
All believers serving Soren were nurtured by strands of divine power, making them feel extremely warm and surrounded by a great power. Most of this power was dispersed among Soren’s core believers, and the improvement for the Wanderers was the most obvious, as almost every Wanderer had their shadow and stealth abilities enhanced. Then there were the priests who gained divine power; their accessible domains increased, and they had new divine techniques such as ‘Summon Shadow Life’ and ‘Dissipate Shadow Life,’ among others.
Finally, there were the ordinary believers. They only gained a bit of divine nourishment, resulting in slight improvements in their basic skills.
This was the deity’s feedback.
When Soren successfully advanced to [Medium Divine Power], all his believers would receive a notable enhancement.
At this moment.
Soren’s prayer words had undergone tremendous changes.
In the first place among the prayer words was no longer [Half-Elf], but [Master of Shadows], which signified that Soren’s core divine profession had shifted from [Half-Elf] to the current [Shadows] divine profession.
Then the order of the prayer words represented Soren’s current abilities.
Half-Elf, Order, Rulership, Wanderer, and Tracking.
Soren had transformed from the deity served by Wanderers to the only True God of Wanderers, representing his ambition to unify the Wanderer divine professions. Meanwhile, his enemies having no place to hide indicated the power of the [Tracking] divine profession.
The only thing that did not appear was theft.
The absence of theft in the prayer words indicated that Soren was announcing to all mortal powers, including other deities, that even though he had mastered the Wanderer divine profession, he would not include [Theft] as part of his faith-spreading doctrine.
He was not a thief.
Nor would he allow his believing Wanderers to steal; this expressed his attitude towards himself.
Finally, the core part of the prayer words.
Soren used to be ‘sacred among Half-Elves.’ Now the core prayer words were ‘Your name will become sacred in the mortal realm!’
This signified that Soren had officially entered the competition among the gods.
He no longer limited his faith to the Half-Elves, intending to spread the faith throughout the entire Multiverse.
This was a declaration.
Soren would completely break free from the limitations of ethnic divine professions, no longer making Half-Elves his core believers, but incorporating all races into the realm of his faith.
This was an action that could attract hatred.
However, for Soren, it was a necessary process. Since he had already attained [Medium Divine Power], if he remained confined to ethnic boundaries, there would be almost no possibility of further advancement in the future.
This was unavoidable.
The population of Half-Elves was limited; relying solely on Half-Elves would not allow him to become [Strong Divine Power], and it was not very beneficial for the development of Soren’s other divine professions.
Currently, breaking free from the limitations of ethnic divine professions as soon as possible would allow Soren to grow even stronger!
………………
The sacred ceremony was still ongoing.
Soren was gathering the divine power of his believers, then connecting to the original Divine Kingdom while also integrating with the divine kingdom in the Shadow Plane.
One Half-Elf Divine Kingdom, one Shadow Divine Kingdom.
These were all Soren’s powers and the kingdoms he would need to inherit and merge in the future. This would be a monumental process; Soren had to first let the Half-Elf Kingdom descend into the Shadow Plane, and then merge the two divine kingdoms.
The God of Half-Elves relied on the Elven Pantheon, located near the upper planes of the [Wilds of Abandon].
The Shadow Master’s Divine Kingdom was in the Shadow Plane, near the lower planes of space. What Soren was doing now was letting the Half-Elf Kingdom plunge downward, to bring it down into the Shadow Plane first.
Descent of the Divine Kingdom!
This was an enormous undertaking, and Soren would need to expend a great deal of divine power for it.
However.
Once the two divine kingdoms merged, his power would significantly strengthen.
