I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

Chapter 377 Faith Transfer

When Shahani and two other goddesses were dismantling the emblem of the gods in this ruins that had been sealed for at least ten thousand years;

Xiling, who was standing aside, had a seemingly expressionless face, but in fact, a lot of emotions were stirred up.

Unlike Ivan, a gifted guy, Xiling works very hard to acquire knowledge.

This is also related to the fact that she believes in Mielikki and basically does not give clear responses to her believers.

Many lower gods with weaker powers often give some written guidance to their believers due to the lack of believers;

Some important believers are even able to communicate directly with the gods during meditation.

But that was not the case with Mielikki.

This forest god has existed for a long time. Although his power level is not high, he has a large number of believers.

From the earliest forest rangers, to some lumberjacks who made a living from the woods, to the druids who began to believe in Mielikki in the Fourth Age, the number of these believers combined far exceeded the total population of the Elven Court.

Therefore, Mielikki, who has too many believers, is not a big boss like Corellon who uses sufficient divine power to maintain his own consciousness. He can only act as a remote divine power switch for the believers and reduce communication with the believers as much as possible.

Therefore, in order to quickly improve the rank of her divine arts, Xiling spent a lot of time studying theology and prayers.

The so-called transfer of faith is also a secret that only many high-level clergy can master.

When a deity is about to fall asleep or perish, his assistant, usually the Holy Spirit or a deity, will transfer the believers' faith in him to the chosen successor.

Lila successfully passed his throne to Laer by using this operation.

At the time of conversion, all believers will receive a message from the Kingdom of God directly in their minds, telling them who they will pray to from now on.

The benefits of this ritual are numerous.

The successor can possess all the duties and powers of the previous deity. If the successor is a deity himself, his power will become even stronger.

As for the believers' belief system, apart from changing the object of prayer, there will be no changes in doctrines and prayers. It can be said that the transition can be perfectly made in an instant.

However, this ritual has a huge drawback.

The ritual will drain all the power of the previous gods, including the divine will that made them become gods...

For the gods, this is not much different from death.

Those who are luckier will be completely reduced to a mortal creature;

Those who are unlucky will just disappear on the spot.

Over the long years, such operations were only performed when the gods were about to die.

Seeing that Shahani and the others had collected all the holy symbols and gathered around Corellon's sculpture, Xiling began to feel curious.

The ceremony seems to be ready, but what about the successor?

……

A narrow portal suddenly opened above the endless green grass.

A human appeared out of nowhere, fell to the ground from mid-air, and rolled several times in a very embarrassed manner.

Solonor, the elven god of archery and hunting, was holding his longbow, preparing to go out and fight the monsters outside.

As a god of medium power, his combat capability is ranked among the best in the kingdom of gods.

But the wounded who were rolling on the lawn made this tall but seemingly unintelligent god extremely nervous.

Just as he was constantly cheering himself up and building up his mental strength, a little black-haired guy rolled to his feet, scaring the god who was mumbling to himself.

"God of the Original Elves, what kind of monster is this? It can actually transform into a human face and invade the kingdom of the elves!"

Pulling the huge longbow seven feet away, Solonor aimed the arrow, which was flashing with dangerous light, directly at the funny human at his feet.

Corellon was also attracted by the movement here.

He remembered very clearly that the location of the portal was where his granddaughter came in.

Huh? A human with black hair?

Before Corellon could start to speak, Labelas, who had already reacted, swung his wooden staff and knocked the longbow out of Solonor's hand.

"Save your power, God of the Hunt...

This is just an ordinary...human who accidentally stumbled into the kingdom of God?"

By the end of his speech, there was something different about the eternal observer, the all-knowing Labellas, and there was a noticeable change in his tone.

As a god who makes his living by looking at others, Labelas certainly knew that this human was not from the enemy camp.

But to say that he is ordinary - which ordinary human soul has a divine consciousness comparable to that of a mid-level god!

Especially that divine consciousness has never been seen before.

Labelas looked at the big guy holding the longbow with a strange expression.

If the arrow just now had flown out of the hand, under the same level of divine power, it is not certain who would have killed whom.

"Human, I have heard of you..."

Hearing Corellon's voice, Labelas and Solonor consciously made way.

The elven god Corellon, whose figure had become upright again, walked in front of Ivan, wearing hollow metal armor, and looked at him condescendingly.

Whether it was the high elves over humans, or the gods over mortals, the suppression at the biological level made Alvin a little nervous.

Corellon sensed clearly what was going on in Labelas's mind just now.

"I know of your existence from the memories of my granddaughter, the half-elf Xiling...

But I didn't know that you were also a divine being."

Corellon's stature is much taller than a normal high elf, and is almost as tall as Brokentooth Wilderness.

But after all, they are elves, and their aesthetic taste prefers slenderness and thinness. So this elven god, who is dressed in an extremely solemn manner, looks like an elongated bean sprout in Alvin's eyes.

Seeing that the other party had called out his identity, Alvin searched hard for information in his head, trying to recognize the emblem on the chest of this big bean sprout.

But after all, Alvin was a poor student in both his lives, and the crescent symbol that occupied more than half of the breastplate could never fit in his mind.

But he mentioned his granddaughter Xiling, which means...

Ivan stood up from the ground, suppressing the crazy warning in his heart, and glared back without showing any weakness.

"I have heard of you, too. The old skeleton has said a lot of bad things about you, the elven god Corellon."
