Struggle in the Steam Age

After collecting the remains in the front hall, Lawrence sat down against the wall. As he ate the corned beef sandwich he had just pulled out of his space bag, he pondered some surprising information he had just gleaned from his memory.

These researchers who were trapped and died here were not the first members of the Scarlet Sky to enter here. According to their memory, this is a decades-long research that started from the first day of the Scarlet Sky. .

There are about a dozen or thirteen researchers who turned into a corpse, and all of them are the last researchers who stayed here. Some of them study the collection of energy, some study the purification, upgrading and purification of energy, and some study the fusion of energy. One of the most critical researches is the relationship between different personal energies.

Although these memories are incomplete, the research content pieced together from the memory fragments really gave Lawrence a lot of insight. At the same time, after organizing and analyzing this knowledge and the information he just collected in the room, He felt that this plane was probably the important reason why the founder of Scarlet Sky chose to defect from the Church of Agriculture to become a black priest. Because the most precious treasure in the pyramid is a tainted fragment of godhead with a trace of harpy divinity.

According to the memory obtained from those researchers just now, Lawrence learned that there are five elements required to become a god in this world, that is, divine power, divinity, divine fire, priesthood, and divine spark. Among them, there is nothing to say about divine power, it is the specific existence of divine power, which is similar to the magic power of human beings.

Divinity is related to the mysterious energy of a god's character, beliefs, rules of conduct, and alignment bias, which can be regarded as the soul of a god. To mortals, divinity is something both precious and dangerous. It is said to be precious because absorbing divinity can increase a person's lifespan and strength. Even after obliterating the original consciousness of the gods, it can be used as the key to ignite the divine fire.

It is said that the divinity is dangerous because the fallen gods may be able to pass through the negligence or loopholes in the process of absorbing the divinity by mortals, and finally wipe out the consciousness of mortals and resurrect them.

Of course, it is not gods who have divinity, and some special extraordinary creatures that are not gods also have divinity. And Lawrence was extremely lucky to have a ray of divinity similar to the divinity of the beast Bai Ze in his body after awakening the blood of Bai Ze.

Because this group of divinity itself belongs to Lawrence, he doesn't need to worry about one day the divinity will turn against the guest and wipe out his consciousness. At the same time, because this group of divinity is similar to Bai Ze's divinity, he was naturally affected by the divinity while acquiring divinity, making his camp lean towards order and goodness. Fortunately, he has this tendency himself, so there is no problem overall.

The divine fire is the source of divine power, a tool for converting the power of faith into divine power. In a sense, only by igniting the divine fire can one become a god. Once you have the divine fire, as long as you have enough power of faith to condense the godhead and become a god, it will be a matter of course. The reverse is much more difficult. After all, igniting a divine fire is a dangerous thing with a low success rate.

Godhead is the core of a god's storage of divine power, and it is also the standard used to measure the level of a god. The priesthood is a derivative of the godhead, and together with the godhead, it becomes the anchor of the gods. It is a concrete manifestation of the power of the gods, and it is also the source of the power absorbed by the gods. It is related to the power attributes of the gods and the attributes of believers.

After possessing the godhead and priesthood, the gods can accurately position themselves, so that they will not lose themselves after being lost, and degenerate into chaotic lower plane creatures or some kind of dangerous divine monsters.

From this we can see that divinity is very precious to the gods. Under normal circumstances, except for the fallen gods and very few divine creatures themselves, basically there will be no divinity scattered outside. And the reason why a divinity of God Habi appeared in this place is entirely because God Habi was cursed by a strong person from the lower plane during the war that broke out in the ancient Nile civilization, forcing him to go through the process of cutting the godhood. There is a way to separate the ray of divinity that has been polluted.

If everything is normal, the tainted divinity of God Habi will be purified by correct and pure beliefs in this astral plane that is completely controlled by him, and will be taken back by him after everything returns to its original state.

But I don't know what happened back then, so that this astral plane broke away from the control of God Habi and completely disappeared in the long river of history. It wasn't until it fell into the hands of the black priest who had defected from the Agricultural Church that he saw the light of day again.

During such a long period of thousands of years, the ray of divinity that lacked the guidance of the gods was not purified as expected. Instead, under the catalysis of the power of faith, it slowly merged with the power of pollution, and finally formed a fragment of godhead that exudes an ominous atmosphere.

This tainted piece of godhead released a malicious divine power, or to be precise, divine power pollution. The leader of Scarlet Sky, who was a priest of the Agricultural Church back then, was recruited immediately after entering the room. However, unlike those with firm beliefs who directly sacrificed because of conflicts of beliefs, this ambitious guy directly gave up his original beliefs and became a black priest.

Yep, fallen and became a black priest. Due to the passage of time and the fall of the gods, this godhead with the divinity of Harpy did not successfully erode the original priest of the Agricultural Church into an evil priest of his own, but turned him into one who could A black priest who twists and steals the power of the gods.

After becoming a black priest, he naturally did not give up his plan to absorb this ray of divinity. The former priest of the Agricultural Church left here and established the Scarlet Sky organization in the model of the real church.

When his strength reached a certain level, he began to organize people to enter this astral plane to transform the pyramid according to his own ideas. For example, the bright red metal covered on the top of the pyramid outside and the bloody runes drawn on the pyramid were all made at that time.

The reason why he did this was because God Habi belonged to a powerful god back then, so even the fragments of godhead here are only a small part cut off after the god was injured back then. It was a bit too dangerous for the black priest who was only a hero at that time, and it was very likely that when he absorbed these divinities, he would be resurrected by the gods with the help of his own body.

In particular, the Godhead of Harbi God has not been completely purified as planned in the past few thousand years, but has become stronger after incorporating a large amount of power of faith. So much so that even if his strength improved rapidly after becoming a black priest, the leader of Scarlet Sky still has no way to guarantee that he can absorb the divinity here under the premise of safety.

According to a rumor circulated among the researchers who worked at the core of the pyramid, when the leader first discovered this place, he usually entered the core space without any protection. Godhead is under control.

From then on, all those who enter the core room must be defended in groups of two and fully armed at the same time. From then on, the transformation of this godhead and inner divinity began.

The method of transformation is very simple, that is to renovate the whole pyramid and carry out transformation at the same time. Let the power of death in the entire space replace the twisted and evil parts of the mutated and corrupted godhead little by little, and at the same time weaken the power of divinity in the godhead. In order to allow the black priest to absorb these divinities smoothly.

At the same time, the black priest also used the fallen splicing ancestor spirit to gather people's hearts and attract attention. And use the ability of the black priest to intercept various powers of faith from the fallen splicing ancestors to quickly strengthen themselves.

Before the last siege, all the preparation work of the researchers in this pyramid was over. But what they didn't expect was that the black priest didn't give them the reward agreed in advance, but directly killed these researchers who came into contact with the secret and left here.

According to the guesses of the researchers who died here before their death, the leader of the Scarlet Vault probably hoped to escape by feigning death in this battle to get rid of more and more pursuers and those who were already in his soul, body and strength. contaminated part. Then absorb the divinity that has been theoretically purified here, and go one step further towards the gods. It's just that judging from the current situation, it's obvious that something went wrong, so that Lawrence is now cheaper.
