I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 595 - 323: The Irreversible Deification of the Demigod_2
The Holy Saint simply did not care about Ling, a girl who was half-human, half-demigod, even if she really was a divine being, it wouldn’t matter, let alone a man-made one.
As for blasphemy and the like, since even the gods had fallen, adventurers, creatures created by Saints who preyed on gods, how could they possibly care about a man-made demigod?
"Then what about replenishing life force to support her complete divinization? We could gain a god, even if Ling as a god is just a knock-off." Gu Shanhai spoke, reasoning that the Holy Saint definitely wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to strengthen his own side, since he wasn’t a petty person.
"It’s impossible," Rein said somberly, a mix of sadness and helplessness in his expression. "The Holy Saint has said that there is nothing in the entire world that could provide enough life force to support Ling’s transformation, no matter how much is used."
"Because gods themselves cannot be measured by ordinary standards."
"So the best way is to prevent divinization."
"It seems really tricky," Gu Shanhai pondered then asked, "How long did the Holy Saint say Ling could last?"
"One month. Even if we now use enough life force artifacts to sustain her, she can only hold on for one more month. After that, the degree of divinization will undergo a qualitative change, and we don’t have enough life force to sustain her," Rein responded.
"I see."
Gu Shanhai sank into deep thought; he wasn’t entirely confident about rescuing her.
The fact that she was a man-made demigod, and more importantly, there was a high chance that there was no danger.
Because Rein was the protagonist, and coupled with this coincidental scenario, Gu Shanhai even suspected it was an auto-save mechanism by the adventure king’s world.
"I’ll do my best. After all, the existence of a god is very special, and her divinization is an irreversible transformation."
Divinization was the transformation from being half-human, half-demigod to a true god. He guessed that the reason Ling, this girl, was running out of life force was due to a mutation in her divine power, compounded by the fact that it wasn’t the era of gods, and conflicting rules created conflicts.
"Where is the person?" Gu Shanhai could only ask directly.
Rein hurriedly told him the location, after which Gu Shanhai immediately teleported there with his team.
They arrived at the location in an instant.
Here, there were two other players.
Their IDs were Shura and Bizarre.
Gu Shanhai recognized these two, who could be said to be two of the most top-tier players in the current "First Epoch."
Shura had awakened the talent of Divine’s Eye, commonly referred to as text reminder, while Bizarre was a simulator. It was normal for them to gain Rein’s trust.
The two looked at Gu Shanhai as they apparently used their talents.
After all, on the forums, everyone said Gu Shanhai was the top player.
However, they found that their talents could not probe into Gu Shanhai; the text reminder showed only a string of question marks, and the simulator even skipped over Gu Shanhai’s existence in its simulation.
"Don’t misuse your talents. I have protections related to causality and fate on me. Leave it be this time, but be careful of backlash if you target me next time," Gu Shanhai naturally noticed. He followed the Heavenly Mechanism Flow and possessed both causality and fate; there was no way their methods could predict him.
The two also smiled apologetically and then indicated that they wouldn’t use it anymore.
Gu Shanhai, while checking on the girl Ling’s condition, said, "You’re on the wrong path. With such great talents, you chose the combat faction, thus wasting your gifts."
"If you were following Heavenly Mechanism Flow, causality, fate, or even misfortune and other flows now, your talents would be at least ten thousand times stronger."
"Yes, precisely because they are following combat professions and possess powerful equipment, they’re planting the seeds of future disaster.
Without leveraging their strengths, their talents will eventually become obsolete.
Gu Shanhai can defend against it now, let alone in other, higher-level worlds.
It isn’t exactly ineffective, but situations such as being unable to receive reminders or encountering blanks in simulations may occur, and if you have a corresponding system of skills, talents, professions, and enhanced equipment, then this advantage could be maintained.
In their previous lives, these two didn’t even survive the first version, which is enough to show they wasted their gift.
Upon hearing Gu Shanhai’s words, both of their expressions slightly changed.
This was the first time their talents had encountered problems, there was definitely a time when they would have scoffed at Gu Shanhai’s words, but now, they had to seriously consider whether what he had said was correct.
Gu Shanhai wasn’t here to show off or put them in their place, but to form a good relationship.
These two had reached this level of strength and become top players in the first echelon, not without intelligence.
"Won’t that reduce our combat power?" Shura asked.
He knew his strength was important.
"It will decrease, but with your unique talents, if you build a strong system around them, your enemies, as well as future enemies, will be dead before they even get close to you—access to various resources will be easily within your reach," explained Gu Shanhai.
Combat power isn’t the standard for victory, for example, with text reminders, if major causal luck and skills related to Prophetic Divination are obtained, it will not only provide more intelligence but also offer advance awareness, and even map out a complete strategic plan for you; following it would allow you to easily overpower enemies and gain various opportunities.
At first glance, it might look like puppeteering, but it is puppeteering oneself, after all, as the entire system is self-constructed.
Simulators grew significantly stronger; not only did they encompass detailed contents—for instance, simulations could progress from once a day to every hour, allowing knowledge of both the general trends and intricate details, even experiencing simulations firsthand, akin to saving a game and loading it, until a perfect route was tested out.
Unfortunately, these two didn’t utilize it fully but paired up with combat professions that didn’t match their talents, although this enabled them to become top players.
Gu Shanhai remembered that Shura’s current profession was Asura King, and in the future, it should be Tsix Paths of Reincarnation Master; whereas the other bizarre individual was a Great Forbidden Curse Master, who would eventually advance to Magic God.
How these professions were obtained and advanced, Gu Shanhai didn’t know, as these two hadn’t revealed it in forums, not everyone shares various experiences and strategies online.
The two didn’t respond to Gu Shanhai’s words but were contemplating whether his statement was true.
Once this world’s main storyline was finished, they planned to verify his method.
The verification method was simple, that is, to acquire the relevant skills as Gu Shanhai suggested, and see if it enhanced their talents.
Gu Shanhai didn’t care how they thought about it; after all, he just mentioned it in passing, and whether they listened was none of his concern.
Rein was also standing nearby, listening; he realized that these two were probing Gu Shanhai and ended up letting Gu Shanhai counter them.
He also disapproved of such impolite behavior, but it wasn’t the right time to speak; he would discuss it privately later.
"Teacher, how is it, is there a solution?" Rein asked.
Shura and the other person indicated no way to cure.
"It can be cured, and it’s good you came just in time; any later and it would have been troublesome," Gu Shanhai quickly assessed the situation and continued, "Now you have two options, the first is to separate a part of her divinization, so the soul will revert to human, and there won’t be any further issues, this option has a ninety percent success rate.
The other is to promote her divinization, then she will become a god without origin, possessing great power, but the success rate is quite low, only sixty percent.
Which option do you want to choose?"
