Lord of Arcane

Chapter 988 The Final Choice of God's Characteristics

Xia Duo had seen the statue of the Lord of Radiance in the Savile Land Temple.

Although in the descriptions of most Netherese, the Lord of Radiance always appears as a tall, thin image with silver hair, a short and shallow silver-white beard, and soft golden skin.

Of course, he had also heard Bishop Ambrill mention that the other party could occasionally perceive part of the face of God during prayers.

The image of the Lord of Radiance circulated by the outside world may be finally gathered through the different perceptions of different priests.

But in the temple, the statue of the Lord of Radiance is vague, without a specific face, and the statue also has the majestic characteristic that cannot be seen directly.

It's just a little weaker than what he just experienced on the princess, but the statue is only a projection of part of the essence of the Lord of Radiance, while the princess is the real body.

There is not much comparison between the two sides, but this similar nature can't help but let Xia Duo's imagination run wild. Combined with previous guesses, it seems that the princess is completing the feat of ascension to the gods.

This can't help but remind Xia Duo of some background information in the game played on Earth that has a mysterious mapping with the current world——

Among them, the young Karsus who became a great arcanist in his 20s and had a bright future, but in the end he killed and destroyed everything was particularly impressive.

In the background of the game, the ascension spell he used at that time was as high as 12 rings, but he failed in the end. In this real magic world, Netheril's current highest achievement is only 11 rings.

And through some scattered notes left by Savile in the Tower of Time, Xia Duo learned that magic seems to have reached the level of the 10th ring, and it has come to an end. Even the cognition of the 11th ring is only stronger than the 10th ring.

So is it possible for the princess to make an almost unprecedented breakthrough in the short hundred years after Savile disappeared?
It should be unlikely.

In particular, legendary celebrities such as Congeigno, Iolum, etc., Xia Duo has a little prior knowledge of the background of the game on Earth, knows its existence, and also knows some of its deeds.

Some of them have been verified, some have not been verified, and some have not yet appeared.

But the princess is no longer among them. In the background of the game, it seems that the Nether king line has disappeared since the second generation, let alone the princess generation that was passed down hundreds of years later.

Xia Duo also knew that the background of the game on Earth and this real magical world did not completely correspond, but he still couldn't help thinking——

If the princess succeeds in ascending to the gods in the end, why is there no reflection in the background of the game?

Is it a failure?Or is the so-called fog of history obscuring everything?

Even though the princess has shown some of the characteristics of a god at this moment, Xia Duo still can't raise much confidence. Of course, in all fairness, he still hopes that the princess will succeed.

If the princess succeeds in ascending to the gods, among other things, at least Niya's identity will be cast with a sacred color, and as Niya's husband, he can also share a lot of benefits from it.

At least this also means that the path of the mage has taken another big step forward. If the princess can succeed today, he may not have the opportunity to replicate such success in the future.

And if the princess fails to ascend to the gods, first of all, the extra benefits will definitely be lost, and secondly, the biggest backer will fall, and we don't know what will happen in the future!

From a utilitarian point of view, Xia Duo didn't want the princess to fail either.

Glancing at the almost invisible princess for the last time, Xia Duo silently sent his blessings in his heart, "I hope everything goes well!"

At this time, he also noticed that the other six great arcanists from the Seven Towers were no longer on the stage.

Of course, the princess was so majestic at this moment, her direction was almost an absolute blind spot for countless people in the square, and it was estimated that not many people would pay attention to the movements of the other great arcanists.

On the west side of the auditorium directly opposite Xia Duo, Congerio and Iolum were still present, but at the moment the magic net was in turmoil, it was difficult for him to see if it was the real body.

For the time being, let’s just say that, after all, Ambassador Cormanthor is still there, with a frightened expression on his neck, and he insists on looking directly at the direction of the princess.

Without the suppression of those two, it would not be surprising for the elf to do anything.

……

While countless people were waiting for the final result, as the absolute leader of the Ascension Ceremony, Shia was facing an extremely difficult decision.

When the force of origin and order guided by faith converged, they did not collide with the "sacred flame" described in the information provided by the elves.

At this moment, she has several choices——

One is to give up at this point, anyway, I have experienced the power of the original force and the power of order, and if I continue to study in this area in the future, I may not be able to find a more universal way forward;

The other is to continue to wait, waiting for the opportunity for the birth of the divine fire;

Or, completely abandon the details of the ceremony provided by the elves, and complete the final ascension ceremony according to your own understanding.

The risks of these three options increased one by one, and Shia abandoned the first option almost the moment she thought about it. If she had to choose this one, she would not perform the so-called ascension ceremony at all.

Second, she believed that the god-ascension ceremony provided by the elves must have its rationale, and it must have a chance of success.

After all, both the Farrow organization and Cormanthor have paid a huge price for this. Is it just to witness her failure?
She would rather exchange her failures for the various concessions made by Comanthor before, so that Netheril can develop and grow more smoothly.

But obviously, the cost of the two sides is not equal, the loss of a great arcanist is nothing, even the last member of the Netheril family from which Netheril was named.

There are indications that what the elf is planning is not before the ascension to the gods, but after the ascension, which means that she can continue to use the details of the ceremony provided by the elves, and finally ascend to the gods smoothly.

But is this result really what you want?
Shia kept examining her heart. The original intention of choosing to participate in this plan was very simple. She wanted to bypass the death curse in her family's blood in this way, and also wanted to pry into the mysteries of God. After the great arcanist, she started new road.

But if she is led by the nose again and again by the elves, then what's the point of all she has done?

Although she improved some of the ritual content before, she still didn't get rid of the route planned by the elves, but only advanced the progress a little. Perhaps this is the real reason why the elves have not raised any objections until now.

But at the last moment before the end of the ceremony, although Shia hadn't been able to truly ascend to the existence of a god, she still possessed some of the characteristics of a god, which made her quite keenly aware of the future related to herself.

This is not only her own hesitation through the caster's reason at this last moment, but also the already extraordinary divinity is warning.

As soon as this thought came out, Shia immediately made a decision.

"If you fail, just treat it as gaining experience for others!"
