Chapter 202: Senior Sister’s Reminder

This can be exined by luck. Destiny includes the mighty subordinate deities of Luck and Misfortune, and divining for oneself is definitely on the lucky side. “Oh, I’m so envious!”
Luck and Misfortune, just the subordinate deities of Fate are potent deities, and they are of the kind that are so powerful that no one dares to provoke them. It truly is enviable.
If possible, Lin Xiao really wanted to choose both super deities, but reason told him that choosing even one right now would be difficult. He must collect Divinity crazily within these two years, and must condense enough Divinity to carry the Truth Divine Position before the college entrance exam; otherwise, it would be a disaster.
Fortunately, choosing a Godhood does not mean it is fixed now, as Divinity will continue to increase after bing a Demigod in the future. When enough Divinity is condensed at some point, other Godhoods can also be chosen.
Gathering his emotions, Lin Xiao closed the panel for Divine Extraordinary Abilities.
With his current Divinity Level 3, he can theoretically choose three Extraordinary Abilities, but Lin Xiao feels that choosing so many is pointless. It would be better to upgrade his existing Extraordinary Abilities to Level 3, making them stronger.
Among them, the Divine Extraordinary Ability of Reproductiones from the Creation Law and cannot be upgraded; only Prophetic Art can be upgraded.
The upgrade method is simple. Direct promotion on the existing basis is sufficient, as long as the Divinity Level meets the requirement.
Lin Xiao’s Divinity Level being Level 3, he upgraded his Prophetic Art to Lv3 in one go. The resulting Divine Extraordinary Predictive Art Lv3 has a far stronger effect than the basic Prophetic Art, not only is the divination clearer, but it alsoes with two passive abilities, adding one with each level increased.
Second Level passive ability: Omen.
When divining events rted to oneself, it is often easier to obtain more detailed information.
Prophetic Art is an active ability; it can divine for oneself or others, and the effect is better when divining for oneself.
Third Level passive ability: Trajectory.
All things in the world leave traces when they operate, and when divining, one can see the traces left by the divination subject within one day.
The effect of Level 1 Prophetic Art is mediocre, but when it’s raised to Level 3, the effect is extremely dominating. As long as you have general information or even a name of the target, you can find where the person wasst.
For example, during the previous summer camp exchangepetition, if he had Level 3 Prophetic Art, just by the unique divine name of Semi-god Vampire in the current ne, he would have been able to find where the opponent disappeared.
After resetting the Divine Extraordinary Ability, next is the reselection of Divine Arts.
As a Level 3 Divine Being, Lin Xiao can theoretically choose up to Level 3 Divine Arts to grant to Priest followers, meaning, he can choose the standard universal Divine Arts or he can choose his own unique Divine Arts by expending Divine Power to research.
Universal Divine Arts refer to a set of standard Divine Arts that the deities of the Main World have researched over 300,000 years, ranging from the lowest Level 1 to the highest Level 9. There are no universal standards for Legendary Divine Arts, but there are standard temtes that Divine Territory yers will use as a basis to create their unique Legendary Divine Arts after their Divine Enthronement.
Generally speaking, at the stage of being a Divine Being, the level of Divine Arts that Divine Territory yers can possess is determined by their own Divinity Level, which sets the maximum level.
However, once a Godhood is condensed and one bes a Demigod, regardless of the Divinity Level, one can have up to Level 6 Divine Arts to grant to Priest followers, even with a mere five points of Divinity.
I he Demigod Stage is known to be divided into two segments, Normal Demigods and High-Level Demigods; the situation of Supreme Demigods is very special, generally not included in these categories.
High-Level Demigods can have Level 7 Divine Arts, but cannot have higher Divine Arts. No Demigod can have Level 8 Divine Arts, not even Supreme Demigods.
But once Divine Territory yers be a Deity, not only do they immediately gain ess to Level 8 and 9 Divine Arts, they can also grant Level 10 Legendary Divine Arts to Legendary Priests followers.
Of course, these are all too far away from Lin Xiao. Right now, he is just a weak Divine Being who can only choose nine Level 1 Divine Arts, six Level 2 Divine Arts, and three Level 3 Divine Arts.
His current choice is naturally standard Divine Arts, as creating one’s own Divine Arts requires a lot of Divine Power, and he does not have excess Divine Power right now.
After browsing through the extensive Divine Art Library, he quickly made his decisions.
Nine Level 1 Divine Arts:
The ‘Misfortune Art,’ which causes enemies to feel fear and hesitation.
I he ‘Blessing Art,’ which fills allies with courage and grants additional damage to their attacks.
The Priest’s most important ‘Cure Minor Injuries’.
The ‘Grace Spell,’ which slightly increases an ally’s Constitution and Strength.
the Holy Light Art,’ which inflicts holy damage on a target.
I he Protect Evil,’ which has extremely high defense against evil damage.
The ‘Remove Fear,’ which allows allies to no longer feel fear.
The ‘Shield of Belief,’ which creates a sh barrier to protect allies.
The ‘Summon Monster Level 1,’ capable of summoning a heavenly dog.
Six Level 2 Divine Arts:
The ‘Bear’s Endurance,’ which increases any ally’s Constitution by four points.
The ‘Bull Strength,’ which increases any ally’s Strength by four points.
The ‘Owl Wisdom,’ which increases any ally’s Intelligence by four points.
The ‘Eagle mour,’ which increases any ally’s Charisma by four points. The ‘Cure Medium Wound,’ which heals allies or causes damage to Undead. I he ‘Regeneration Barrier,’ which creates a shield that prevents allies from being affected by Undead spells.
Three Level 3 Divine Arts:
The ‘Cure Serious Wound,’ which heals allies or causes a great amount of damage to the Undead.
The ‘Dispel Magic,’ which removes magical effects from a designated target.
The ‘Remove Curse,’ which lifts a curse effect from a target.
A total of eighteen Divine Arts, which Lin Xiao believes to be one of the most effective at this stage, included both offense and defense, as well as healing and status enhancement.
“Perfect!”
Having chosen the Divine Arts, the next step was naturally to bestow them upon the priest followers, but before that, he needed to select the followers and grant them their priestly status.
The priest is a profession unique to The Church of Divinity. However, there is no such thing as a Priest Profession Card; instead, it must be directly granted by a Deity. Every Divine Territory yer can grant this profession, and usually the number is not toorge because to be a priest, one must have a devout faith and also expend Divine Power.
Moreover, the expenditure of Divine Power isn’t a one-time thing; it is determined by the priest’s level.
In other words, a certain amount of Divine Power is needed initially to grant the profession, and more Divine Power is required when the priest levels up. To level up to a Ninth Level Priest requires Divine Power to be expended nine times. Fortunately, bestowing the Priest’s Divine Arts does not consume Divine Power.
For initial profession granting, it takes a mere point of Divine Power, which equates to one million Power of Faith, and it must be in its purest form.
This…
Lin Xiao now has sufficient Power of Faith to be converted into one hundred and forty-six points of Divine Power. That is, one hundred and forty-six million pure Power of Faith, umted over this period.
Without hesitation, hemunicated with rda and summoned his modest Church to gather in the Creator Temple at the center of Naga City.
He expended twenty-one points of Divine Power and granted both rda and the original twenty part-time priests the status of true priests.
Then he used another sixty-six points of Divine Power to upgrade them to
Level 3 Priests and bestowed upon them all the Divine Arts.
With the priests chosen and the Divine Arts selected, Lin Xiao then reconfirmed the name of his church The Church of Creation and Truth.
Once decided, it was permanently set; the name could not be casually changed thereafter. °
The method of worship in the Church also changed ordingly, from the previousbination of ancestor worship and primitive religion to aplete religious faith-based system. Once settled, Lin Xiao opened the sect interface-
Sect Interface:
Sect: The Church of Creation and Truth
Holy Emblem: Supreme Naga with a glowing aura, holding a bookin one hand and a sword in the other
Belief: Religious faith.
Chosen People: Not selected, (requires too Divine Power to select)
Divine Arts: Nine First Level Divine Arts, six Second Level Divine Arts, three Third Level Divine Arts.
Priests: 21.
For now, it looks quite decent. Twenty-one priests are enough for the time being, and more can be added as the n grows in the future.
He closed the panel, as the restructuring of the Divine Realm had basicallye to a conclusion. The next goal was to rapidly develop the Divine Realm and, by the way, formte a simple set of church ts.
Creation doesn’t need deliberate propagation; wide dissemination does not add much value. The most effective way to increase his understanding of this fundamental Rule is to study and master the Rules concerning Creation for himself. No matter how widely spread it is, it won’t increase his insight into this foundational Rule.
Through Divine-mandate, Lin Xiao instructed rda to find ways to expand the spread of the Tower of Truth and set the core t of the church as Truth, with the goal of spreading this concept as much as possible.
Acquiring true Truth is a different matter, not so easily achieved, but before that, it’s better to obtain the Divine Position first.
Exiting the Divine Realm, he found many ssmates had already finished, while some were still inside.
Dr. Sun, the teacher, was still there, answering questions from some students.
During the second-year phase, there was one theory ss per week, which was basically a full day.
The morning was mostly consumed by this activity, and since Dr. Sun seemed to have nothing else on his schedule, Lin Xiao headed back into the Divine Realm.
Monthster, within the Divine Realm, he heard a familiar bell sound and returned to the ssroom to discover it was already afternoon. Dr. Sun was ringing a bell to wake everyone up.
Once everyone had awakened from the Divine Realm, Dr. Sun leisurely tapped in front of him, and a screen popped up before Lin Xiao, disying a list of book titles—
“The Principles of Magic.”
“Dissecting Spells in Detail.”
“The Rtionships Between Spells.”
“Ten Thousand Variations of Level Zero Tricks.”
“Complete Collection of Level Zero Tricks.”
“Detailed Introduction to Level 1 Spell Basics.”
“How to Be a Mage Apprentice.”
“Detailed Introduction to Basic Alchemy.”
“The Hundred Thousand Whys of Magic…”
Lin Xiao opened his mouth wide as he scrolled from top to bottom, a page of a hundred, seven pages in total, all filled with various kinds of spell-rted and disciplinary catalogs.
Dr. Sun then spoke:
“This includes all the standard spells from Level Zero to Level Nine and their corresponding expanded disciplines, including Alchemy, Scroll Transcription, Magic Items Crafting, and other extra disciplines rted to spells. Your task for the second-year theory ss is topletely master all the standard spells studied by the deities of the Main World over thirty thousand years and to take up one of the expanded disciplines as an elective.”
“All…”
This seemed quite daunting.
Lin Xiao casually clicked on a catalog and was frightened by the sheer volume of material it contained. Altogether, there must be tens of millions of words. To finish all this content within a year seemed like a colossal amount of work..
