Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1047 Original Plan of Ascension Ceremony
After the transfer of the information book was completed, Xia Duo sat down in the rest area on the side of the laboratory, made himself a cup of Bonu tea, and then projected part of his consciousness into the portable space to view the contents of the book in this way.

There is no discussion of the principle of ascension to the gods in the book, only specific operation steps, and some steps are even vague.

Xia Duo found some familiar shadows, such as the princess statue that he had found several times in Savile, and he had speculated before that it might be related to faith.

The truth is, it does have something to do with faith.

In the Ascension Ceremony Information Booklet, that kind of small statue is called a "faith statue". In addition to several small statues that were thrown out, a large statue of the same size is needed.

Cooperating with a specific altar, infecting a large statue with the power of faith, or using a large statue to carry faith, this process is called "sanctification".

Of course, it is not possible to ascend to the gods with the power of faith, in fact, it is far from it!
It can even be said that the power of faith is not necessary for ascension to the gods, and what the ascension of the gods really relies on is the original force guided and gathered by the power of faith.

The book does not describe the nature of the force in detail, and there is even only such a simple word.

According to the booklet, the key to the Ascension Ceremony is the collision between the Force of Origin and the Force of Order, thus giving birth to a force called [Divine Fire].

As long as the divine fire is born, it will be regarded as a success in ascension to the gods.

As for the power of order, it is a kind of power born out of a certain order established by the leader of the ascension ceremony.

In the past, Xia Duo didn't think that [The Power of Order] really existed, even though Wright often talked about this word, and there were many sentences about the Power of Order in the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance".

For example, "only by not doubting the decision of the superior can the power of order grow", "the order will last forever, and the brilliance will last forever" and so on.

But Xia Duo has always regarded the power of order as a metaphysical power that only exists in concepts, similar to the power of a country.

Although a country can indeed do many incredible things, there is no specific power called [National Power] that really exists.

He used to think so until he went through the princess's ascension ceremony, in which he was dragged into the cycle of order related to pioneering. It wasn't until that moment that he was really sure that this power was real.

It's just that it may be difficult for ordinary people, even ordinary mages and arcanists, to have direct access to this power.

However, the Ascension Ceremony Information Book that Jenna gave him contains information on how to guide the power of order, and even how to construct the cycle of order.

And he found that [Power of Order] is really suitable for the lord to use in essence. The territory is a large order system that accommodates various small orders, and the lord is naturally the controller of this [Power of Order].

It's a pity that [Power of Order] is clearly true, but it cannot interfere with reality, and instead is deeply affected by reality. Any changes in the order of reality will be reflected in the nature of [Power of Order] without exception.

Xia Duo rummaged through the entire information book, but failed to find a way to transform the [Power of Order] into a force that can interfere with reality.

In other words, intervention in reality can only be accomplished indirectly through ascension.

Regarding this point, Xia Duo is temporarily skeptical. After all, it is impossible for elves to hand over all the details to humans, and it is normal to keep a hand.

Moreover, the princess did not completely act according to the god-ascension plan given by the elf, which seems to explain this point. The elf has something to hide, or the method provided by the elf has hidden dangers.

According to the ascension plan given in the book, the princess should establish a five-class noble title system in Netheril to artificially divide the ranks.

And what the princess finds this kind of plan finally achieves is the "God of Nobility".

When meeting President Jenna just now, she said that the princess adjusted and improved the original version of the ceremony given by the elves during the actual ascension process, which may also be due to this.

In fact, at the very beginning, the princess granted a large number of "pioneer" titles to pave the way for the establishment of the fifth-class noble title system, but for some reason, it did not continue.

Perhaps it was because of the hidden dangers in the plan given by the elves, or for some other reason.

Of course, Xia Duo now knows that what the princess finally achieved is the "God of Pioneering and Guardian", not the "God of Nobles" mentioned in the book.

Moreover, he speculated that the adjustment of the Princess Ascension Ceremony may not only be the "God Name" (order), there may be other adjustments or improvements.

It wasn't long before Xia Duo got the information on ascending to the gods, and he couldn't understand the mystery of it for the time being, but he can be sure of one thing, the transition between the gods and the great arcanist is not a smooth transition, but almost ascension, and the risk must be not small.

The collision between the force of the original force and the force of order in the Ascension Ceremony is too mysterious. There is no quantitative standard given in the book, and everything is controlled by the leader of the ceremony.

If the princess can succeed, other people may not be able to achieve the same success even if they completely reproduce the path of ascension to the gods that the princess walked.

Compared with seeking to ascend by leaps and bounds, Xia Duo is more willing to climb along the magic road bit by bit. This may be slower, but it is more stable and safer.

The future may not be unable to become a parallel existence with God.

And the most crucial point is that there are almost no variables in the path of magic, one is one, two is two, and the (relative) truth is the same for everyone.

As long as there is technology, then this technology can be extended to everyone.

Theoretically, it is possible for the scene of "everyone becomes a god" to actually appear.

……

The headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, in a private laboratory.

Xia Duo moved the knuckles of his index finger that was between his eyebrows, thinking for a long time that the Bonu tea in the cup was cold, he picked up the cup and took a sip, and immediately frowned.

"Sure enough, Bo Nu tea should be drunk while it's hot!"

The effect of cold tea on soothing the spirit is not much lower than that of hot tea, but the taste is more than one step worse. Not only the aroma is greatly reduced, but also the special taste of hot tea that alternates between hot and cold.

Randomly plucking the strings of the magic net in front of him a few times, a vortex of fire element was drawn from the elemental plane, and after turning around in the teacup, a mist rose from the mouth of the cup again.

Xia Duo put the cup to his mouth, took another sip, his eyes lit up, "This time it's right!"

However, the reheated tea was still worse than the freshly brewed tea after all. Xia Duo drank all the Bonu tea in the cup in a few sips, and stopped brewing any more.

Thinking carefully about the steps of the Ascension Ceremony, he realized that this thing might really be used by the elves to harm Netheril.

Regardless of the success rate of the ceremony, the key is the process, and there are too many things that test human nature.

Among other things, only Xia Duo, who has read the information for a while, can now come up with a way to quickly complete the ceremony.
