Chapter 880: Vol V Chapter 240
Crewe nodded, but his expression was somewhat lonely.
He had grown up to be a man, but his father had to travel somece far. Even though the Orc culture ced emphasis on self-reliance, he could not help feeling a little sad.
Fira noticed Crewe’s loneliness. He thought about it and took out two magic props.
“This crystal stone is the ‘Complete Solution to the Green Magic.’ It contains all my magic knowledge, as well as some of the rules about how devouring beasts obtain spells and abilities that I’ve sorted out andpiled. I know you’re not interested in bing a Green Magician. But there’s no harm in holding on to this. Who knows, maybe my grandson or granddaughter will be interested.
“As for that green bead... when you’re old enough, eat it,” Fira said. Then after pausing for a moment, he added, “It can make you about 20 years old.”
Crewe almost jumped up and eximed, “Then you should quickly eat it. That’s the right thing to do!”
“I don’t need this anymore,” Fira said. He smiled and went on, “After this, I think I’ll probably never need to worry about the issue of aging anymore.”
Crewe froze for a moment, but he did not ask further questions. He carefully put away these two precious treasures.
Fira nodded. Picking up the wine jug, he threw his head back and downed the remaining half a jug full of wine to the veryst drop. Then he coughed violently and got to his feet.
He took out a storage bag and casuallyid it on the table. He said, “My life’s savings are all in here. They are nothingpared to those two treasures. But perhaps to you, thesemon earthly things will be more useful.”
“Father...”
“Well. I gotta go. You must live well. When Ie back to see you, you must introduce me to my lovely grandchildren!”
With that, Fira’s figure gradually disappeared. Soon, he disappeared without a trace.
Just as Crewe was facing the empty chair, feeling all sad and sentimental, Fira had already returned to Palin’s research institute.
Sui Xiong and Palin were discussing how they should promote the washed powder salt and any rted matters. Seeing him return, they could not help feeling somewhat surprised.
“Back so soon?” Sui Xiong asked. “So few personal matters back at home?”
“My son is very dependable and is able to support the family. Of course, there isn’t much personal matter for me,” Fira said proudly. “Your Majesty, I’m ready and can set off anytime.”
Sui Xiong nodded and waved his tentacles. A stream of white light wrapped around Fira, and within a moment, Sui Xiong brought Fira to his God Kingdom,nding near to Leon.
Leon was sitting on a big stone and was taking a deep breath. He had divided his Divine Power into the smallest possible portions, then gathered them a little by a little while releasing them little by little. Through this method, he sought to strengthen his control over his Divine Power.
This was patient and precise work. There was no way he could make haste even if he wanted to.
Suddenly seeing a Pighead man arrive, he froze in surprise and asked, “His Majesty has sent you here. Is this for any special reason?
He was neither worried nor doubtful about Fira’s identity. With Sui Xiong’s power, this God Kingdom could be said to be impregnable. Even if the godsbined forces, they could still forget about trying to break apart and sneak their way into this God Kingdom, let alone a mere, advanced mage.
He did not know Fira, but Fira knew him—back when Fira participated in the Fighter Championship, Leon was the referee for the final tournament. He was also the one who presented the prize to the champion. It was just that at that time, Fira was a middle-aged man. Now, he looked old and worn-out, like he could die at any moment. So on the contrary, Leon could not recognize him.
“My greetings, Archbishop Igor,” Fira greeted as he saluted Leon with a bow first. Then he introduced his purpose of visit.
But at this time, Sui Xiong had returned as well. With a single divine thought, he told Leon about everything rted to this matter clearly. And then, he began to help Fira in the change of life form.
Sui Xiong was quite familiar and well-practiced in turning a mortal into a divine creature. Over the years, he had transformed many of such divine creatures. There was never once where he had failed.
This time would be no exception, of course.
Just that, this time, he tried to preserve, as far as possible, the original true colors of Fira’s soul. He was especially careful, so he spent quite some time. It took him more than ten days before Fira waspletely transformed.
After undergoing a transformation in life form, Fira became a tall and thin Pighead man. He looked nothing like the general Pighead people who were slightly bloated. Instead, he fully exuded a schstic air of a schr. There was a snow-white halo over his head that made him look like an angel, but...e to think of it, there was probably no Pighead angels in the world, likewise for Pighead schrs.
After the transformation of life form, ording to Sui Xiong’s guidance and instructions, Fira stepped aside and began to practice hard. He needed to spend a great amount of time and energy to fully master his new life form in order to prepare himself for breaking through to bing a sealed god in the future.
Coincidentally, Leon became his neighbor. Both men were doing simr things and had simr goals as well. It was just that neither of them liked talking much. Although they would sometimes make idle talk, they had never discussed anything in detail.
Leon had already heard about Fira’s situation from Sui Xiong. As for Leon’s situation, Sui Xiong did not keep it a secret from Fira as well. The two men knew that either of them had a bright future, but they had no intention ofpeting as rivals.
In truth, Leon did not think much of a mere weak Divine Power. If he wanted to, he could be a weak Divine Power at any time. Bing something like the “patron saint of Garth” or something along this line was simply effortless and posed no difficulty to him at all.
But he had big dreams. His goal was to at least be a weak Divine Power, and it was best if he could achieve the rank of mid-level Divine Power.
Sui Xiong was one of the most famous masters among the gods. Even among the great Divine Powers, he was one of the top ones—there were many gods who even thought of him as one of the strongestpetitors out of all the “masters under the Master of Order.” To be his right-hand man, how could a mere weak Divine Power suffice? That would simply be a joke!
Fira, on the other hand, had never thought of vying with Leon. He also had no such intention of doing so at all.
The precise reason was that he had be a divine creature, and his strength was umpteenth times more powerful than before. This was why he could clearly feel Leon’s power. That power formed a single entity with Leon. It was powerful and innate, aplete cycle of Divine Power.
Oracles themselves would not be able to create Divine Power. They had to obtain it from the gods. No matter how powerful Oracles were, the moment they cut off contact with the gods, they would rapidly be weak. It was even possible for them to die.
But Demigods were entirely different. They had their own Divine Power. No matter what happened, they would be able to preserve their Divine Power. Even in the unfortunate event of a tragic death, their Divine Power would often circte within their remains and either give birth to a new divine creature, transform into some terrifying demon beasts or await the chance of resurrection.
Essentially speaking, Demigods had already stepped into the level of gods, but they had yet to thoroughlyplete the entire transformation process. They needed to stimte the power of the World’s Origin topletely transform their souls before they could progress further to be a god-to-be. Then, upon finding suitable priesthoods, they would be real gods.
And in terms of the level of power, there were many Demigod Masters who could rival the gods. They could be found everywhere, in the Elemental ne, hell and abyss, or the various worlds flowing within the massive cycle of the source power of the world... there were many Demigod Masters who were on equal standing with the gods.
Soon, Leon Igor would be one of them.
After about a year, hepleted all the hardening refinements and officially entered the ranks.
