Chapter 309: The Knight's Path
Chapter 309: The Knight's Path
The Moon Goddess is undoubtedly a ruthless figure!
To avenge her lover, she not only killed her own 'Father God' but also dragged the entire Divine Realm to its grave.
And the only backup she left behind seemed to be prepared for Karl.
Fragments of the War God's Divine Realm, a world without gods, the path of faith to divinity, the foundation of the Holy Sanctuary...
This also made Karl wary.
"You're not planning to use me to revive the War God, are you?"
No wonder he thought so, after all, even wizards have the means of possession, and it's unlikely for deities to be without such abilities.
The Moon Goddess exhausted all means, just to benefit a stranger she had never met, which was naturally questionable.
"This directly points to a Seventh Rank heritage, and it's complete and intact cultivation, what a pity."
Karl shook his head slightly.
There's the saying of the Nine-Ring Sorcerer among wizards.
But in reality, throughout the long history of the wizarding world, there has never been any record of a Nine-Ring Sorcerer.
Not to mention nine rings!
Eight-Ring Sorcerers don't exist either, and even Seven-Ring Sorcerers are only mentioned in scattered records.
It's uncertain if the wizarding world has ever produced a Seven-Ring Sorcerer.
And if Karl follows the cultivation path left by the Moon Goddess, there's a high probability that he will achieve the Seventh Rank.
After all, a 'primitive' world without deities awaits his development, which can serve as a cultivation resource.
The main world.
Karl's figure appeared in the second-floor study, touching his arm, his expression gradually turning gloomy.
'The Dark God's mark is still here!'
"It seems that the power of deities can ignore the barriers of worlds, and it's impossible to escape by staying away."
"Could it be..."
"Do you really want to walk the path of deities?"
But thinking about the consequences of walking the path of deities and the potential risks, he hesitated.
"Earl!"
Butler Terry's voice came from downstairs:
"Bishop Louis wants to see you."
"Oh!"
Karl's gaze flickered, straightening his clothes, brushing off the mundane aura, and slowly walking downstairs.
"What a rare guest!"
"I heard that the Galdor Kingdom's frontlines have completely collapsed. How did you find the time to see me, Remiel?"
In the living room.
Remiel, a female, stood with her arms crossed, examining the portrait on the wall, and upon hearing this, she let out a light hum.
"The Earl is indeed busy. I've come three times, and each time I came, you were nowhere to be found."
"As for the frontlines..."
"Don't worry about it!"
"Hehe..." Karl chuckled:
"Mortal wars are the other side of the divine wars. The current situation is not favorable for the Dawn Lord."
"Remiel, how many Divine Realm Archangels are left?"
Remiel's expression turned solemn.
After a pause, she said:
"The Lord will be fine."
"I've studied the past of the deities." Karl pulled a chair and sat down, speaking slowly:
"For millions of years, the Eastern Kingdom continent has been shrouded in the light of the deities, but the divine beings have changed over time."
"The current Seven Deities are no longer the original Seven Creators!"
"The Dawn Lord might also fall."
"..." This time, Remiel did not loudly rebuke Karl for his blasphemy, but her expression turned cold:
"The Lord's power is beyond your understanding as a mere wizard. If not for the backstabbing of other deities..."
"Hmph!"
Karl's gaze flickered.
It seemed that the deities in this realm also had issues.
Indeed!
The Dawn Lord has always been the strongest among the Seven Deities, and even if the Sun God surpassed him, it shouldn't have led to such a quick defeat.
"So..."
He looked at her and asked:
"What brings you here?"
"I remember you saying that you have a means to threaten the deities." Remiel frowned:
"Although I doubt it, it's worth a try."
"You're grasping at straws. Why not test it first?" Karl smiled:
"But this time, you've come to the right place. What I have in my hands will definitely satisfy the Dawn Lord."
"Is that so?" Remiel remained noncommittal:
"Show me."
Karl pursed his lips, taking out the spearhead of the Godslayer Spear from his Ethereal Bag and immediately retrieving the Divine Realm fragment.
"You..."
He looked at Remiel, his expression turning grave:
"Who are you?"
Although the person in front of him was still Remiel, the aura she emitted was completely different from before.
Like the revival of all things, the dawn's first light.
Before him was no longer a person but a rule, a system, a 'law' from the time of the world's creation.
The Dawn Lord!
A High-Order Favored Deity at the Sixth Rank Apex, an existence of utmost 'terror' in countless worlds.
"I never expected to see such a terrifying thing on a wizard."
Remiel's gaze remained on Karl's hand, and she slowly reached out, her voice calm.
Her fingers pierced through the void, flesh, and even consciousness, probing deep into the Divine Realm Fragment.
"Hmm?"
As if sensing something, Remiel's expression changed:
"A collapsing world?"
But in that instant, Karl realized something was amiss and immediately sent the Godslayer Spear through the Divine Realm Fragment to the other world.
It was obvious.
Although the Dawn Lord had the ability to 'see' the Divine Realm Fragment, he couldn't enter the other world.
This was also normal.
6◇◇Book◇Bar
If the Dawn Lord could enter, then there was no reason why other world deities couldn't.
The Moon Goddess's barrier had a strong isolating effect on deities.
"What?"
Karl narrowed his eyes, looking directly at her:
"As the supreme deity, you also resort to forcefully taking others' possessions. This behavior is far from noble."
"Karl." Remiel's eyebrows lowered, and a faint divine light descended upon her:
"For deities, mortal rules do not apply, nor can they be bound."
"What about the pact with the wizard?" Karl asked solemnly:
"According to the ancient pact, as long as the wizard does not break the rules, the gods shall not harm the wizard."
"The pact..." Remiel's lips twitched as if she was trying to force a smile, then she shook her head lightly:
"Little wizard, constraints only apply to the weak."
"The reason wizards of ancient times could negotiate with the gods was because their strength was formidable, but you..."
She lightly tapped her fingers, piercing through Karl's defenses, regardless of sorcery or battle aura, and poked a blood hole in Karl's body.
"I must admit, you have the qualifications to speak with me, even if it's just for your future potential."
The blood hole healed instantly.
At the same time, Karl felt something additional on his body.
Divine Art—the Dawn Lord's Blessing!
This Divine Art could increase his recovery by about ten percent, which was neither here nor there for Karl.
And its purpose was obviously not to truly bless Karl, but to...
Determine his location!
Hmph...
Karl's lips twitched.
There were at least five deities' methods on his body now.
The War God, the Moon Goddess, the Fate Goddess, the Foreign Demon God... and the Dawn Lord before him.
"Speak!"
Remiel spoke:
"What do you want in exchange for that thing?"
In exchange for what? Karl looked up, deep in thought.
After a long while, he spoke slowly:
"I want to know how the Forbidden Knight can progress further."
"Oh!" Remiel's eyebrows raised slightly, but she wasn't too surprised. Instead, she nodded:
"You want to ascend to divinity?"
"This world can no longer accommodate other deities, but the secrets you hold may allow you to progress further."
"Faith!"
Remiel said:
"Spread faith, ignite the divine flame, possess divinity, and you can become a god. Therefore, faith is the foundation for all righteous gods."
"What about demon gods?" Karl asked.
"Demon gods." Remiel frowned subconsciously, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes as she spoke:
"Demon gods also require faith, but they lean more towards madness and slaughter, distorting the world's will to plunder its essence."
"If you want to become a demon god, the first thing you must do is drive yourself mad. When you lose your sanity, you can ignite the divine flame with the obsession of your followers, gaining a twisted and chaotic divinity, or be devoured by the abyss..."
Karl furrowed his brows.
It seemed that the path of a demon god was even more dangerous.
"I know of a deity who doesn't rely much on faith but possesses strength almost on par with a Seventh Rank deity." He spoke slowly:
"Although he's dead."
"How did he achieve that?"
In his memory, the War God of the other world didn't have many followers, but his strength was extremely terrifying.
Even the Father of Gods was severely injured in the battle to kill the War God, and the Divine Realm suffered heavy losses.
"..." Remiel fell silent, and after a long while, she spoke:
"The War God?"
"Yes!"
"The ancient Knight's Path doesn't require faith, but it demands a belief that even deities find challenging to resist." Remiel said:
"This path is more difficult than that of the gods or wizards."
Karl's eyes lit up.
"The Knight's Path?"
He had never imagined that the Knight's Path could go so far.
