Dragon of Catastrophe-Chapter 465 - 173: Land’s Wisdom and All Is Ready
The twelfth layer of the Abyss.
Land opened his eyes.
He glanced at the still dejected Enchanting Demon Lord and said:
"Doroshi, I have something to ask you.
Do you know why Divine Beings cannot use Divine Power when they travel to the Otherworld?"
"Of course, they cannot use Divine Power..." Doroshi was stunned, then said:
"This has long ceased to be a secret.
There are rumors that the power of the Divine Beings comes from the world itself. If they leave their original world, the Divine Format and Power of Rules granted by the world naturally cannot be acknowledged in other worlds, thus they cannot be used."
So that’s it... then my previous guess was right... however, Doroshi, this bastard, didn’t tell me about this.
In that case, won’t the so-called Divine Beings, once they leave their original world, become a bunch of useless trash?
What meaning is there in becoming a god then?
Land couldn’t help but frown.
Doroshi saw Land’s expression and seemed to know what he was thinking, immediately saying:
"Even so, the existence of Divine Beings is something all creatures envy!
They possess almost infinite life! A mind and body that remain eternally vigorous.
This alone is enough for other beings to envy.
Even someone like me, don’t think just because the body still looks young and beautiful,
it is actually holding on by relying on some Secret Techniques from the Otherworld, barely lingering till now, but in truth, my body’s functions have lost vitality, growth severely restricted and impacted.
Now, my lifespan is at most just two or three hundred years left...
After that, if I want to survive, I may have to become a Witch Demon, which means I must abandon my body.
But even as a Witch Demon, a soul will have a day when it decays; a hundred thousand years is almost the limit.
And with the power and lifespan of a Divine Being,
as long as they remain in their original world, they can almost do anything they want...
Meanwhile, using Divine Power, they can maximize enhancing their original strength."
As Doroshi spoke, longing was evident.
Land listened, eyebrows furrowing.
What she said seemed to make sense.
A typical True Dragon seems to only have a lifespan of a little over two thousand years; now he is young, with hardly any thoughts about it.
But in the future?
Even with a cheat, perhaps he can have infinite lifespan without becoming a god.
That’s why he has never regarded longevity as an impressive achievement.
But most lives do value this aspect.
Moreover, even if one can only use Divine Power on the Divine Ascension Plane, wouldn’t that still be a form of insurance?
Encountering powerful enemies outside who cannot be defeated, but upon returning to the original realm, can use Divine Power, then they can’t be beaten?
"Also! The benefits of becoming a god are not just that, if one creates their own Divine Kingdom and projects it into some space rift in the Outer Plane, then even in another world, as long as properly managed, one can drag enemies into the Divine Kingdom and crush them directly.
Moreover, we can spread faith into the Otherworld to be acknowledged by the Otherworld’s will, enabling us to use Divine Power in that world too."
Doroshi added.
Being recognized by the Otherworld’s will is the key to using Divine Power?
It seems obvious; those Divine Beings from the Outer Plane could use Divine Power in the Abyss only because the Abyss, this chaotic mix, did not reject them...
The world of Goddess Athena.
Hated Land opened his eyes, glanced at the statue of the Goddess, and then relayed the information he had just received.
Goddess Athena remained silent for a long time, with some sighing, she said:
"So that’s how it is, when you think about it, it makes sense, after all, they are gods only acknowledged by this world, the power of the Divine Format comes from the world’s will.
In another world, why would they acknowledge them, but once faith is spread, Divine Power can still be used, which is unexpected."
"Indeed.
By the way, I didn’t come here just to chat with you about this.
The Ascension Skill you taught me, it failed."
Land lamented one sentence, then shifted the topic to his own matter.
"Failed?" The Goddess was somewhat taken aback: "Can you explain it in detail?"
Land gently nodded and recounted his previous experiences.
Goddess Athena was slightly silent, then said after a moment:
"This is the first time I’ve heard of such a situation.
It seems going to the Other Plane and becoming a god is not a simple task.
However, it’s not entirely impossible."
"What way?"
"Didn’t you just say? A Divine Being going to other worlds, as long as they spread their faith, can gain the qualification to use Divine Power in another plane.
Isn’t this equivalent to the world’s will of the other plane acknowledging your existence?
If so, maybe you could try making more people aware of your existence, perhaps that might work.
Of course, you must portray yourself as someone who originally exists in that world.
This should increase the success rate.
I guess, the failed fellow in the Otherworld, was hardly known to anyone, right?"
Upon hearing this, Land was slightly silent.
Indeed, Doroshi’s presence in the Otherworld was not well-known to most people.
In contrast, because of the Giant Dragon Commerce, almost all Spirit People are aware of him.
But those Spirit People also already know he is a being from the Other Plane.
Given this...
He had an idea.
After chatting a little more with Goddess Athena, he was ready to take his leave.
As he was leaving.
Goddess Athena told Land:
"By the way, Land.
You better be careful, yesterday after Poseidon, Ares, and Miles chased you out of this world and returned, they seemed not quite right.
