Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1957 The prototype of the god system
"Since the teacher also feels that [Ascending God Order] will cause endless troubles, why do you still support it now?"

Xia Duo believed that it was impossible for the Seven Towers to fail to see the risk of doing so. Perhaps it was just a fluke in their hearts that supported them to continue. If Iolum insisted on objecting, the Seven Towers might reconsider the feasibility of this matter.

To this, Iolum replied with a sigh, "It's not like the Seven Towers don't know, but when the path of ascension to the gods is in front of you and has been verified, the entire Netheril actually has no way out."

"..."

Xia Duo was silent. In fact, he also knew that this was the same as bad money driving out good money. Once it was confirmed that it was feasible to ascend to the gods, it would inevitably start a competition among great arcanists to ascend to the gods.

This is not just a competition between the Seven Towers and those outside of the Seven Towers. The interior of the Seven Towers is not monolithic, and it is impossible to completely unify opinions. God order.

This is actually just the difference between slow death and explosive death. In fact, even if there is an order of ascension to the gods, the road to ascension to the gods is limited, and limited people may not be willing to follow this order. Even if they obey on the surface, they will continue to make small moves in private.

If Master Yerevan succeeds in ascension to the gods this time, the path to the ascension to the gods will be further verified, and the competition for the ascension to the gods will definitely become fierce.

Looking at Iolum's deep eyes, for some reason, Xia Duo suddenly had an ominous premonition. It wasn't what would happen to Iolum himself, but Master Yerevan this time—

Maybe some people don't want to let him succeed.

Of course, on the contrary, there will also be a group of people who are looking forward to the feasibility of the way to ascend to the gods in the eyes of Master Yerevan again.

Xia Duo faintly sensed the coming of the flames of war, no wonder the Seven Towers were unwilling to get involved in Sruvend's affairs at this time, their own house was about to explode, so how could they care about others!

But what is the real intention of Qita?

And Iolum?

Xia Duo couldn't help but fell into deep thought. For the Seven Towers, this is actually a dilemma. Master Yerevan's success in ascension may solve the hidden dangers of abnormal climate.

But it will also bring greater hidden dangers to the order of Netheril. Once the Ascension Competition starts, the situation may not be under the control of the Seven Towers.

But if Master Yerevan fails to ascend to the gods, then the abnormal climate that has not been found out so far may also drag Netheril down.

This is not to say that the arcane garden can solve the problem, but why the spellcasters who own the arcane garden, who account for only a small number of people, want to support a group of ordinary people.

In a short period of time, there may be traditions and responsibilities that can be counted on, but over time, any unilateral contribution will only bring fatigue, at least for the Nether mages of the current era, this is how they think.

Xia Duo put himself into the perspective of the Seven Towers, and felt that it was really difficult to decide whether to support Master Yerevan or not.

However, judging from the current situation, the Seven Towers should still support the majority. The Ascension Order may not be a bad thing for the top casters. Perhaps many people are looking forward to that day!

Then, the only ones who really objected were those old people like Iolum and Conjenion who supported the openness and popularization of magic. Of course, this also included some old people who lived in the Seven Towers from the past to the present.

But conservative forces can now gain the upper hand, and the power of the old people may not be as great as Xia Duo imagined!
As for Xia Duo himself, he is of course firmly opposed to the order of ascending gods. This order does not need to be developed to the extreme to form a god system. It only needs a few more gods, which will inevitably lead to the overall environment of Netheril closer to that of the gods. Conservative, even completely solidified.

He is no stranger to the principle of ascension to the gods. It uses a certain order in reality as the source, and sublimates the power of order through various means to make it a certain kind of extraordinary power, which is called "divine power".

The root of divine power lies in a certain order in reality. If the divine power is not to be turbulent, the best way is of course to imprison thoughts and everything.

This is where the doctrine comes in.

Of course, if it can be extended from a certain order or extended to another order, for example, extending from agriculture to seasons, then to time series, or from agriculture to land, and then to earth yuan.

That is the growth of divine power, and it is also the growth path of this kind of God of Order. In sync with it, the teachings may also change accordingly.

But as long as you think about it with your fingernails, you will know that doing so must violate the current or potential interests of another god.

This is also why, Xia Duo believes that the development of the Ascension Order to the extreme is the real reason for the god system.

When the forces of all parties or the gods compromise with each other and reach an agreement, and completely carve up all orders—including potential orders that may appear in the future—the god system is born.

Then one can imagine the experience of ordinary people living under this god system. It can almost be said that they are completely arranged from birth to death.

There cannot be any changes, otherwise the foundation of divine power may be shaken.

Of course, even if there are variables, it may be that the gods are doing experiments on the evolution of divine power, and no matter what the final result is, they are still under the control of the gods.

Ordinary people will no longer have a real independent will.

At that time, let alone a magical civilization that advocates development and creation, it may not even be able to maintain the current situation of Netheril.

After all, non-casters are easier to control than casters, and there is no need to cultivate their own competitors or rebels in disguise.

That kind of darkness may be similar to the Middle Ages on Earth, and even more cruel. After all, there are only people on Earth who act in the name of the true God, but here, the True God can do it himself.

Xia Duo felt that he had to make plans earlier, but of course this did not mean that he wanted to destroy Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony this time.

He has a good personal impression of Master Yerevan, and he admires his legendary deeds very much, and this kind of thing does not mean that it can be eliminated by destroying it once or twice.

If there is no Yerevan, there may be Erire and Erleng. How can I have time to find and destroy them one by one. If I want to really avoid the fate of future civilization sinking, the best way is of course to solve it from the source.

As long as the development limit of magic is broken through to the realm of gods, not to mention completely dispelling the idea of ​​ascension to the gods of the Arcanists in Netheril, at least a camp that can compete with it can be created.

Only the purely arcane path can change the future. As for destroying this and future god-ascension ceremonies, it is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

Not to mention that it is only the initial stage of Ascension Order. Even in the future, Xia Duo himself will have a very high right to speak, so there is no need to alert potential opponents now.

He can completely study the pure arcane path while mixing in the Ascension Order, wearing their clothes, and disrupting their order.

The so-called flying the black flag against the black flag, Xia Duo can naturally do it.
