1207 Birth of an Epic Part 1 (2/2)

Saleen experienced the power of faith, divine powers, divine crystals, and many other godly products first hand. The comfort when using the powers and items was a stark contrast to what he felt when using his family badge.

In Saleen's perspective, the indulgence was fundamentally throwing himself away.

Ever since he had acquired the ring capable of boosting his mental powers, he basically stopped using divine crystals to replenish his mental powers. The power of faith and divine powers would not accumulate on him.

The high from using the two types of power would make even mages addicts. If Saleen had not been using his family badge all year long, he might have succumbed to the temptation.

Saleen's body had gotten used to pain, and it was only in pain that Saleen was able to feel a sense of safety. The sensation of comfort when using divine powers put Saleen in high alert.

As such, even though he had massive amounts of divine power within his Ring of Gifts, he had only tried using the power to train himself once, before giving it up.

Saleen took time out of every day to use his family badge to continuously train his mental powers.

Eleanor grew interested in the goddess' powers when she her elvish seeds sprouted and grew into massive plants. From Eleanor's perspective, nature divine arts had definitely borrowed from elvish magic.

Myers was definitely capable of traversing planes at will, and learning elvish skills in the elf plane was a piece of cake. She lost any use of magic skills after becoming a god, but her divine persona would incorporate the rules of such skills.

Magic was driven by magic chords, which were inherent in humans. Gods lacked magic chords and were incapable of mimicking the magic chords. However, gods were capable of manipulating rules.

Once Eleanor got a hold of the rules and advanced to level ten, she would be able to develop territorial powers and touch rules, which meant that she would be able to comprehend and develop powerful elvish magic from nature divine arts.

Eleanor did not lack for methods in training in such magics, but it could not be passed down using words.

If Eleanor were there to experience the power of the divine arts after breaking into level ten, she would be able to strip rules that originally belonged to elvish magic, making comprehension an easier feat.

The prayers went on for a whole day. None of the believers experienced any fatigue or hunger. The life force within their bodies grew several times.

Some devout believers even managed to grow their life force more than ten times. The 24 holy masters leading the event acquired massive powers from the statue, leaping from level seven or eight to level nine.

If there was one thing that holy masters were better at than mages, it was their speed at advancement. It was not peculiar for a level one holy master to advance to level nine instantly if they were blessed and favored by their gods.

Powerful gods were capable of modifying their believers using divine powers, making them into oracles. The dead would be able to keep their souls intact, which were absorbed into their kingdoms and made into believers who were even more devout.

Mages only had one life, but holy masters were capable of living far longer under the protection of their gods until their gods perished.

While the demons had no faith, their Heaven Knight Armor was imbued with divine powers when basking under the holy light, becoming even more durable. The divine spells on the armors brought greater power when they were activated by the holy masters.

The Goddess of Nature was versed in healing and restoration, while demons inherently possessed powerful life force. Being clad in armor meant that unless the demons were killed, they could bounce back from any injury regardless of severity. They would be able to suffer the worst of disabilities and fully recover.

The Heaven Knight Armor were created using fossilized gods. The fossilized gods, who were capable of endless restorative abilities, imbued the armor with self-healing abilities.

”Carry on.” Saleen was bored. He had analyzed most of the secrets of nature divine arts. A statue being activated by devout believers who had just embraced the faith was hardly able to produce miracles that would pique Saleen's interests.

However, Saleen knew that sooner or later, the statue would wake up again, becoming a shadow of the Goddess of Myers.

Most of the nature temple knights' members were not inside the city, as they were patrolling outside the city. They had yet to take the surrounding cities for themselves, but the Nature Faith's power was massive enough for their generation.

However, they were still incapable of being compared to Qin nobles and the invaders from the Tanggulasi Empire.

War could break out at any moment, and the city was incapable of being protected by a group of knights. Saleen needed to wait longer to have Nailisi mobilize more manpower from Demon City to protect Nature City.

With that, Saleen's epic would not be all lies, as the demons had truly protected the Goddess of Nature once, and that would be irrefutable truth.

Saleen's plan was all interconnected, and it would need to prove the demons' contributions to the Nature Faith. His prophecy would be made into legends in the Nature Faith.

History was created by many seemingly insignificant people. Saleen was only a level ten mage at the moment, but he was creating history.
