On the day of finals for the defeated teams, the sun was shining brightly and there was a boundless stretch of blue sky. There seemed to be fine gold particles dancing in the air that put people in a good mood. There also seemed to be an unknown fragrance floating that made people feel carefree and happy.
In the air above the battle ring a few Gods hid and conversed in doubt.
“Don’t you think the atmosphere today was a little magical?” Sui Xiong looked up to the sky and down to the ground, then looked around. He said in distress, “I feel like the source of power of the world is surging faintly, as though it is going to cheer. Can all of you feel it?”
The other few Gods nodded. They felt the same thing.
“Who is going to be promoted to God? Or who is leveling up?” The God of Justice was the most experienced one. He thought for a while and made a few guesses. He first looked at Wor, then at Morani, and smiled. “It looks like I have to congratulate the two of you!”
As He had said, recently Wor and Morani’s divine power was improving by leaps and bounds. It was really like they were going to level up.
“I’m not sure,” Wor said. “It’s true that ever since I was promoted to God, my divine power has been advancing tremendously. I feel that the clergy of ‘knowledge’ seems to carry a heavy weight in the Root of the World. But to advance from faint divine power to weak divine power… I am not too confident.”
Everyone then looked at Morani.
Morani thought and shook his head. “Not me either. Although my divine power has increased tremendously and I could also faintly feel the nurturing of a new clergy, it isn’t time yet… I reckon I will have to wait till the Very First Martial Arts Contest ends first. My clergy will be ready then. Maybe by then I could break through weak divine power and enter intermediate divine power.”
The God of Justice muttered to Himself, “The importance of the knowledge clergy was to not practice reticence. According to my estimation, the clergy and its derivation should be able to support intermediate divine power. Along with the Very First Martial Arts Contest, maybe a ‘martial arts contest’ clergy will be formed under such attention. By then, if Morani were to achieve this clergy, moving from weak divine power to intermediate divine power… No, maybe a little further. Maybe you have to set up some restriction yourself, to concentrate divine power, to be able to enter intermediate divine power.
As the expert who was generally acknowledged among various Gods, and was everyone’s senior, his prediction was no doubt convincing.
Hence, the question redirected to the “martial arts contest” clergy.
“This clergy should be given to Oscar,” Morani said. “He didn’t even have a clergy until now. And the Very First Martial Arts Contest was actually His idea. So, really, the clergy should belong to Him.”
“But I do not feel any sympathy or compatibility with the clergy,” Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and said. “Would a God be able to accept a clergy that He has no sympathy for?”
Obviously not. In order for a God to gain the clergy of a certain belief, he himself must accept it from the bottom of his heart. His belief must be compatible with it, and he must respond sympathetically from the source of His power.
It was the only downfall of these clergies. If you didn’t agree with it, you wouldn’t be able to get it.
Comparatively, the nature clergy didn’t mind one way or another, but it required one to understand and master the nature element at an extremely high level. Then one would obtain the clergy.
Comparatively, belief clergies would be easier to obtain. That’s why among all Gods in the world, most of the Gods were promoted via belief clergies.
Various Gods made speculations but in the end, they still couldn’t be certain of the reason that caused the agitation of the Source of the World.
But regardless, there was a strong divine power, a weak divine power, and two faint divine powers gathered together at the moment. When necessary, they could drag along a faint divine power to assist them. There were also three real God experts that had not achieved clergy. In regards to fighting power, needless to say, the God of Justice was known to be the top of the experts. This meant that only the unfathomable King of Order was above Him.
Sui Xiong and Morani, who both had a record of defeating intermediate divine powers, fell under the typical fighting power over divinity. Silent Knight, under Morani, was only a faint divine power. But his battle power was not inferior to a normal weak divine power.
