    Arcaian had not thought about the rtionship between bacteria, fungi, and diseases. The world had a rather backwards medical development because of the existence of spells. After all, it was unknown whether medicine could cure diseases, but spells certainly could cure them. Since spells were so effective, talented people and powerful organizations naturally studied spells more. Who would take the time to learn medicine?


    Arcaian was perhaps the first person in the history of the whole civilization to use spells to assist medical research.


    With an umtion of rich knowledge and an excellent spell-casting ability among high-level casters, Arcaian quickly identified the causes of severalmon diseases in theb. He discovered three kinds of bacteria, which he named, “gue No. 1,””gue No. 2,” and “gue No. 3.” He also discovered fourmon bacteria that caused diarrhea, and five bacteria that caused fever.


    These 12 kinds of bacteria, together with nine other bacteria that also causedmon infectious symptoms, were collectively named by him as “pathogenic bacteria.” He was currently working on these pathogenic bacteria to find out the drugs that could suppress them.


    He was not a traditional schr who didn’t care about outside information. He had a clear and profound understanding of the value of his own research. His own research would certainly rock the world, and even the gods would be shocked. Perhaps with these research results, he would also have the opportunity to impact the realm of gods.


    The Pasteur family were descendants of the advanced fairies. This magical race created by the Goddess of Life retained a lot of precious materials, including an introduction on how to be a god.


    When mortals wanted to be gods, they had to first enter the Legendary Realm andprehended their own path so that they could be sacred. Then there were two paths. One was to keep straight on their own roads and touch the original power of the world. From the original power, they could find out the content of their own roads and master the corresponding powers. That was when they took the initial step into the immortal realm, which could be called the demigod realm.


    When demigods wanted to be a true god, they had to master some of the world’s origins and then became a god of nature. Or, they had to absorb arge number of beliefs and became a god of faith. Either way was an extremely long process, so the vast majority of the world’s demigods were silently umting.


    The other path after stepping into the Legendary Realm to be a god was to discover something that the predecessors had not discovered, or to make some achievements of the previous work that predecessors hadn’t reached before. Regardless, as long as the umted results reached a certain critical point, it was possible to touch the feedback mechanism of the world’s origin and make it produce a certain Priesthood. This Priesthood was specially prepared for this contributing person as the reward of the world’s origin. With this Priesthood, they could skip the long demigod stage and go directly to bing a true god.


    Many people in history had walked through the two paths of bing gods. The number of gods who had gone through the experience of transcending from demigods to true gods was very high; they were everywhere. The God of Knowledge, Wall, had made great achievements and won the specially prepared Priesthood. He was a good example of a person who had be a god in that path.


    Of course, some people hadbined the two paths, and they gained strengths from both of them. For example, the God of Spellcaster, Ymirjar Le-Peyroux, had made tremendous contributions to the research and promotion of spells. He had definitely received the feedback from the world which was to produce a specific Priesthood with uncertain content for him. After that, relying on his own research and cultivation, he fully grasped the power of the origin, “spells.” Eventually, he became the great God of Spellcaster.


    This practice of taking two paths together was naturally much harder than focusing on one path, but the final achievement was much better as well. For example, Wall and Le-Peyroux were both newly ascended gods, but the gap between their forces was enormous.


    Arcaian was only a high-level mage at present, and it would take him a lot of time and effort to enter the Legendary Realm. But he could garner enough achievements before the final level. As long as he had enough, the world’s origin would preserve this Priesthood for him. If he did not die, then once he entered the Legendary Realm, he could use this Priesthood.


    As for the force power after bing a god, he was not Master Le-Peyroux, who was really ambitious. He had never expected to reach a level of beingparable to the elder gods when he just ascended to godhood. It was good enough for him just to be a god. Such an ambitious man, like Master Le-Peyroux, was either mad or a crazy nut!


    Therefore, Arcaian was now very enthusiastic about his research. He could already foresee that as long as he could fully improve the research of variousmon diseases, especially epidemics, make appropriate treatments and prevention programs, and then promote its worldwide operation, he could at least gain the position of a “God of Epidemic Prevention.”


    As far as he knew, among the gods, there was no “God of Healing” who integrated the entire medical field. There were only some gods who were good at the field of treatment, and they took parts of the Priesthood of “treatment.” For example, in the Human God System, “The Comforter of Wounded Soldiers and Patients,” the god with weak divine power, had “treatment” in their specific Priesthood. And among Orc gods, the “Bloodthirsty Shaman” also had this Priesthood... It wasmon for such a Priesthood to be owned by a number of gods. If this Priesthood was of little value, or if the owners couldn’t defeat each other, the situation wouldst for a long time.


    However, if Arcaian could be a “God of Healing,” then the Priesthood of “treatment” would be integrated under “healing.” That meant that he would be able to directly take most of the “treatment” origin that had been divided amongst the gods, and even make a greater influence on it.


    In this case, he would definitely be a very powerful god!


    In fact, Wall was facing the same situation. The newborn God of Knowledge had a surprising speed of increasing divine power. Over a decade, he had been promoted from an extremely, weak-level divine power when he had just became a god, to just a weak-level divine power not too long ago, when the first batch of graduates of the New Oriental Comprehensive Technical School got jobs. Moreover, his divine power was still growing rapidly. ording to the estimation of Yorgaardman, the God of Justice, he might even keep growing to at least a mid-level, or even a strong level.


    “Knowledge is one of the most important things in the field of humanities. Throughout the ages, countless gods were interested in this Priesthood because everyone knew its importance,” Yorgaardman had once encouraged Wall. “The most important thing for you now is to work hard, dig into the content of your Priesthood, strengthen the expansion of the field, and continue to promote the dissemination of knowledge among the people. As long as you do this, you can at least be guaranteed to gain mid-level divine power.”


    Arcaian estimated that if he became the God of Epidemic Prevention, he would own weak-level divine power. If he became the God of Healing, then he at least would gain mid-level divine power, like Wall.


    As soon as he thought of gaining weak or mid-level divine power, his heart started to burn like a me. The feeling greatly energized him. He was very anxious to continue studying all the time without any sleep or rest, until he achieved aplete sess!


    If no one visited him regrly and reminded him to take breaks, he might even stay in theb forever. If so, he would tire himself to death before bing a god.


    Fortunately, this situation did not happen. When Sui Xiong came, he saw that several people were dragging and persuading Arcaian into his bedroom to rest.


    When he saw Sui Xiong arrive, Arcaian was invigorated with energy. Leaving behind the loyal guards, he took Sui Xiong to theboratory to show him his achievements.


    His most remarkable achievement was the two groups of mice.


    These two groups of mice were used to experiment with “the method of healing” and “the method of preventing diseases.” One group had been infected with various infectious diseases, and they were treated with the drugs he had studied. The other group lived in the environment filled with bacteria that could cause those diseases, and they were using the drugs he had developed to defend against the infection.


    Regardless of the groups the mice were in, some appeared to be in high spirits and had no obvious symptoms.


    “Look, Your Majesty. This is the result of my research!” Arcaian said excitedly. “The most critical point has been found. Then, if I study these almost healthy mice carefully, I will be able to find the most effective drugs and find a way topletely fight off the infectious diseases!”


    Sui Xiong nodded again and again, admiring the high efficiency of Arcaian’s research.


    However, Sui Xiong still put forward some reference opinions based on his own impressions. For example, finding and eliminating the sources of the diseases, killing the animals which carried bad bacteria, washing your hands and ventting the rooms regrly, drinking boiled water, creating a better living environment and many other things.


    He said it in no particr order; basically, he said whatever popped into his mind. Arcaian listened to him carefully with his eyes glowing, as if he had taken some illegal, unspoken drug.


    This conversationsted for several days. In the end, Sui Xiong almost told him everything about disease prevention and treatment that he could remember. He didn’t care whether Arcaian could understand it or not, he just spoke to him directly.


    After he left, Arcaian was in a state of contemtion. He used magical means to record all the things Sui Xiong had told him. Now he needed a little time to sort them out and form sequence of ideas to finally adapt them into his own research.


    But there was no doubt that Sui Xiong’s speech gave him a lot of inspiration. If he thought that he had a good chance of “bing a god with achievements” before, he was sure that he would be able to walk this path now.


    The only question for him currently was how long it would take him to go through this path.


    Maybe... I will be the first mortal in the world’s history to obtain a Priesthood before the Legendary Realm... As a Druid of the schr school and an alchemist master, he was usually calm. However, thinking of that, he smirked.


    ...


    In the country of decay and diseases, the God of gue sneezed again and again, feeling a rush of cold enter his heart.


    “What the hell is this!” he screamed angrily. “Somebody actually wants to plot against me?!”


    Regrettably, as an evil god who was not popr, he had no friends to talk to about this...
