Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1233 - 677: The Speaker Unintentional, The Listener Intentional_3
Chapter 1233: Chapter 677: The Speaker Unintentional, The Listener Intentional_3
However, Lyralla’s divine position of Divine Nature determined that she was not a qualified custodian for the clergy of the Goddess of Wealth.
The priesthood of Joy she advocates leads her followers towards indulgence, a grand celebration every ten days, a minor one every five days, celebrating was a daily occurrence.
No matter what profession one pursues, it requires significant energy, and Gold Coins do not fall from the sky; if energy is occupied by feasts and the indulgence of joy, the accumulation of wealth will inevitably slow down.
Moreover, organizing various banquets costs money.
As a result, those followers who switched to the Joy Goddess found that their speed of accumulating wealth was far behind their spending.
This caused the followers of the Goddess of Wealth to be filled with distrust towards the Joy Goddess’s stewardship, many turned to Mount Dakor, the God of Travel and Exploration. After all, a large part of wealth is based on trade, and in the absence of the true God of the Road, they could only seek protection on their trade routes from this closest True God, the elder known as Hand of Aid.
If one wants to forge their path to becoming a god using the divine position of the Road in the future, one’s compatibility with the three great divine positions of trade, money, and wealth that Woken represents is uncommonly fitting.
Future development of various trades, massive infrastructure, and so on, are all inseparable from these three great divine positions.
Support from a True God for one single person is enough; there is no need to pass additional benefits into the hands of others, especially not a Goddess whose mind is not that sharp to begin with and who has been tutored by a Demon Lord for more than a decade. Best not to get too involved, for who knows whether her integrity is compromised or if she has entered into any agreements with the Demon Lord that would allow Prince Ubar to gain a foothold in the Material Plane.
Wealth and degeneration are intrinsically linked.
Having an abundance of wealth is often the beginning of one’s corruption.
It’s not that this had never occurred to me before, but given my own strength, I didn’t dare to entertain the thought, for taking over an existing True God’s divine position is far more difficult than pioneering a new one and ascending to godhood.
Not only does this mean declaring war on that True God, but it also means offending a series of her allies, and even invoking the disdain and rejection of other True Gods because the number of divine positions is limited; every intrusion means a portion of the interests are snatched away.
But as my own strength has increased at a terrifying Speed, my thoughts have also begun to change.
The path I must undertake is not a smooth one; if I worry about every little thing, I wouldn’t need to do anything at all.
Just like this time, snatching the Bear of Plunder from Magla, the God of the Hunt—if I had taken a weaker approach and chosen to avoid Magla’s Beast divine incarnation rather than confront it head-on, I wouldn’t have achieved my current gains.
The path to becoming a god is inherently filled with blood and Slaughter, a path of contention built upon countless corpses—it’s about the fight.
Some things can have the best of both worlds, finding a way to profit together, but some things can’t.
Divine Position is one such thing. frёeωebɳovel.com
This is something that can’t be shared; sharing it means others are diluting your source of belief, taking away a portion of your followers, which naturally weakens your power.
As I’ve already mentioned, even if I were to achieve Divine Enthronement through the divine position of the Road, that would merely be a stepping stone for me.
Construction, management, and commerce are the real focal points of development; these are integrated with all sentient civilizations. Regardless of the civilization, if one wants prosperity and success, one must follow this rhythm, only then will the future path widen.
The Goddess of Trade herself is currently missing, the supervisor is unqualified, many things don’t need to be contested by me at all, I just need to keep building Paths, keep expanding commercial roads, provide more merchants with shelter, bring them wealth, and when I achieve Divine Enthronement through the divine position of the Road, raise my own God Kingdom, it will naturally result in merchants actively gravitating towards me and offering their prayers. Venturing into trade, Gold Coins, and wealth divine positions will then be a matter of course.
Before that, it is enough to ensure that the Goddess of Trade still remains in the Bottomless Abyss, still in a state of imprisonment.
Now, I am the greatest destiny disruptor in Felen; as long as I do not get involved in this matter myself, I believe the Goddess of Trade’s fate will not change in the short term, and if necessary, I can even obstruct the progress of this affair.
All kinds of Conspiracy... no, rather, various strategic plans, swirled in Gaven’s mind. Rescuing the Goddess of Trade from the Bottomless Abyss would be extremely difficult. As a notable Demon Lord of the Bottomless Abyss, Prince Ubar’s power ranks within the top ten; entering his territory to save someone is decidedly not an easy task.
However, sabotaging such a rescue is all too simple; just a single piece of intelligence could doom the rescue team...
This kind of tactic must be used with caution as it’s a typical evil method; if not handled properly, it could easily provide an excuse for others to attack you.
"General, General Gaven..." the Crown Princess called several times before bringing Gaven’s extended thoughts back to the present.
Gaven apologized: "Sorry, what did you just say? I got a bit distracted."
"Did I say something wrong just now?" Tainalasta asked, not out of irritation, but filled with intense interest. She was very curious to peel open Gaven’s skull and see what kind of fiendish ideas he was brewing.
The longer the Crown Princess interacted with him, the more she realized that this young man’s methods and thoughts were vastly different from anyone else she knew.
