Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1126 - 642: Hidden Gains

As for the aspect of wealth, aside from the weapons, armor, and treasures carried by the fallen monsters, the Conqueror Army seemed to have not gained much, at least from the perspective of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of the top ranks of the Conqueror Army, this battle was the greatest since they embarked on their journey, even surpassing their gains on the Giant Plains. Yet, many of the profits this time were invisible to the public eye. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The greatest gains were naturally in souls. Not accounting for the portion taken by the Goddess of Strategy, and only counting those souls harvested independently by the Fine Gold Hammer at the western entrance of the Bridge of Faith and those obtained from the Goddess of Strategy, the total exceeds twenty-five thousand souls, with a total of eighty thousand Life Dice (calculated based on Life Dice, not the number of souls). Since most of these souls were not True Wraiths, their carrying capacity was significantly reduced, making it so not every Life Dice contributed to one point of Shadow Power but rather half. Even so, this allowed the Shadow Power of Weizemay Manor to explode from four thousand three hundred to forty-five thousand eight hundred.

Since obtaining Weizemay Manor, Gaven has been diligently and consistently patching things together, bearing the hard work for over half a year to accumulate just a small foundation, which unexpectedly increased tenfold due to the war. To harvest a significant amount of souls, one must rely on war and steal from the hands of the gods. Otherwise, with his minor skirmishes, it could take aeons to gather this amount of Shadow Power.

The surge in Shadow Power meant that the Divine Nature also significantly increased within Weizemay Manor to forty-five points. If spoken of on its own, this number might not seem clear regarding its significance. If explained differently, it might be more intuitive.

Godhood is formed by Divine Nature under the influence of a Divine Position. Put simply, Godhood is the tier of gods, and Divine Nature is the experience needed by gods to upgrade their Godhood. To condense a Level 1 Divine, ten points of Divine Nature are needed, upgrading to Level 2 requires twenty points, and advancing to Level 3 demands forty points, and so forth, doubling at each step.

With this calculation, do you still think forty-five points of Divine Nature is little?

This is enough to upgrade a divine tier to Level 2 and still have a surplus. The Goddess of Strategy now is just at Level 3 Divine, while the Undying Goddess of Vengeance has less than ten points of Divine Nature (unable to maintain her own Godhood).

Of course, having Divine Nature alone is not enough; the appropriate Divine Position is necessary to condense Godhood. Otherwise, no matter how much Divine Nature one holds, it will remain just Divine Nature and won’t transform into a being of divine presence. Gaven currently holds the Divine Nature Spark needed to activate a Divine Position but dares not use it. Whether it’s the Undead Divine Office or the Divine Office of Dreams, both are coveted by the God of Conspiracy Hesrick. Before its use, the holder remains just a mortal encapsulating a Divine Nature Spark. Bound by Divine Laws, the true gods can neither sense it nor personally seize it directly—only able to send their believers or Divine Nature Incarnations. However, once the Divine Nature Spark is used and a Divine Position is activated, one is counted among the gods, making many related divine beings less hesitant and more likely to forcefully take what they desire.

This was fully demonstrated during the ascension of the Goddess of Strategy.

Ascension is not merely about fighting and killing, but rather about relationships and ensuring that a god supports you at critical moments.

Compared to rashly ascending, joining the high-tier circle of gods, it is better to stay at the lower levels, fully utilizing the Divine Nature Strength that countless mortals cannot harness, building one’s own advantageous position. Only when there are enough faithful lieges to support one’s ascension is it the correct choice. At that point, one wouldn’t rise slowly from a demigod with Feeble Divine Power but would step directly into the ranks of weak or even Intermediate Divine Power, thereby not fully depending on others in many matters.

The most important thing is accumulating a lineage of divine blood. For instance, before one’s own divine enthronement and ascension, it is crucial to elevate the Lady Strategy to Strong Divine Power or at least to Medium Divine Power; find a few strong divine beings to establish good relationships, ensuring they not only do not oppose one’s ascension but are also willing to aid during one’s enthronement. This is the most secure path to ascension.

Of course, this is just a plan. When one truly embarks on this path, many unforeseen elements will await him. After all, many matters reach a divine level that even the gods cannot preach to people, and one can only comprehend when they themselves reach that stage.

Gaven’s current situation resembles a widely circulated joke from Felen: Two farmers, leaning on their hoes in the field, fantasize about the king’s luxurious life; one says, "I think His Majesty must eat white bread until full every day!" The other responds, "Not only that, I bet His Majesty uses a golden hoe in the fields!"

This is the Felen version of the frog in the well. Their limited exposure and knowledge restrict their imagination. For mortals, divine beings seem similar, with their conjectures about divine abilities being based on mortal understanding; to divine beings, such speculations probably seem as ludicrous as those of the two farmers.

The ingenious uses of Weizemay Manor are clear evidence; before this, Gaven could never have imagined_ARRATOR_VOIDertz"). As Gaven could never have imagined, utilizing Shadow Power allows one to manipulate materials on a massive scale and even shift mountains from afar—things that were previously thought impossible.
