107: Chapter 107 Gods

Withdrawing her thoughts, Isolde looked at Byron and asked with an expressionless face.

"Byron, do you know what a deity is? Or rather, have you ever learned about deities?"

Byron shook his head: "Mentor, there is no knowledge about deities in the academy. It wasn't until I subdued those two that I learned such creatures as deities existed."

Although there were many myths and legends in his previous life, in this life, he had never come into contact with them, so he definitely had to pretend he didn't know.

Otherwise, if you said you knew, and Isolde asked where you learned it, wouldn't that be terrible?

Byron was already past the age of acting tough and slapping faces; what he pursued was safety.

Hearing Byron's words, Isolde looked at him with a smile, nodded, and continued speaking on her own.

"That's true. For Wizard Apprentices like you, deities are still too distant. Even if you knew about them, it would be of no use."

"Originally, this information is something you should only know once you become an Official Wizard and embark on the Wizard Expedition. However, since you've encountered one now, you are qualified to know, so it wouldn't hurt for me to tell you."

After saying this, Isolde's expression turned serious, and her voice became solemn.

"A deity can be said to be a creature, or perhaps not, because a deity can be a transcendent being with life characteristics, or it can be an existence that transcends the category of life, such as rules, energy, consciousness, or natural phenomena."

"For example, in the pantheon of a world, low-ranking deities are mostly in biological forms, such as those formed through the Cultivation of practitioners, Essence Spirits, and other creatures."

"But high-ranking, or even top-tier deities, are all non-biological forms based on rules and concepts, manifested from the Origin of the world."

"However, every deity is composed of four things: Divinity, Divine Fire, Godhood, and Divine Authority. None can be missing, regardless of the type of deity."

"Simply put, Divinity determines the deity's nature, Divine Fire is the deity's life and spirit, Godhood is the sole standard for determining whether one is a deity, Divine Authority is their functional power, and finally, Divine Power is their strength."

"Therefore, the concept of a deity is very complex. You will understand the specifics when you have the opportunity to conquer a world with deities or see materials on conquering worlds with deities. I won't elaborate here."

Speaking of this, Isolde changed the subject.

"Byron, do you know? Actually, a long time ago, when wizards were still weak, our world also had deities. But do you know why even news of them is rare now?"

Byron pondered slightly and looked up at Isolde: "Were they all captured by wizards?"

A smirk appeared on Isolde's face.

Seeing this, Byron lowered his head and asked: "Mentor, did I say something wrong?"

Isolde shook her head: "No, you are quite right. That is indeed the fact. I was just marveling that you have truly come to understand wizards and are beginning to transform into a wizard yourself."

After saying this, Isolde did not continue and changed the subject.

"For wizards, those deities are like Treasure Troves containing immense wealth; just by analyzing them a little, one can obtain vast knowledge."

"Faced with such a Treasure Trove, how could wizards turn a blind eye? Under the crazy hunting of wizards, the deities of the entire Wizard World were captured to extinction."

"So it is normal for you little ones not to know about such things as deities, because even if there are still deities in the Wizard World, they must be hiding in some dark corner, struggling to survive."

"Therefore, the deity you encountered must be a deity from another world, trying to travel to other worlds through Void Creatures to harvest faith and strengthen itself."

"If this happened in another world, it would very likely succeed. Even if it failed, there would be no cost, as this is just an Incarnation of it, and it doesn't have much connection to the main body."

"But unfortunately, it was unlucky enough to land in the Wizard World."

Speaking of this, a look of mockery appeared on Isolde's face.

"Falling into the hands of wizards, not only can we dig out the knowledge hidden within it one by one, but we can even extract the world coordinates of its main body through it!"

Hearing this, Byron seemed to have thought of something and sighed inwardly.

It truly was not easy for him; for the sake of their safety in his previous life, he was bearing such a heavy burden while moving forward.

"And once we obtain the world coordinates where that deity is located, we can conduct ultra-long-distance teleportation through the Sky City and conquer that world."

"By then, what is this one deity? There will be a whole world waiting for us to loot, collect, and absorb!"

"And with these resources, Stigmata will be easy for me to obtain!"

Speaking of this, even in Isolde's eyes, a look of fanaticism appeared.

At this point, Byron finally knew Isolde's true purpose and what she really wanted, and he felt relieved.

Just then, Isolde looked down at Byron: "So, Byron, you know what this deity represents now, right? Do not let me down."

Hearing this, Byron nodded respectfully and solemnly: "Mentor, rest assured, I guarantee that I will take the utmost care and effort, and I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Isolde nodded with satisfaction; it was worth the time she spent revealing so much information to him.

At this moment, Isolde returned to her previous cold and aloof appearance and said.

"Alright, this communication has lasted long enough. I am leaving now. If you have any questions about this matter later, just like this time, I will respond at any time."

After saying this, Isolde's figure dissipated and turned back into a contract mark.

Byron was also satisfied; he didn't expect to gain so much knowledge beyond his rank. It was truly unexpected.

Returning to reality, Byron did not act rashly but began to organize his gains from this time, the most important of which were the things Mentor Isolde had mentioned.

...

On a wilderness dozens of kilometers away from Savien, countless farmers were enduring the scorching sun, working hard to reclaim farmland and sow seeds, a scene of intense activity.

In the most fertile part of this wilderness, instead of planting crops, many flowers and plants were grown, and a castle built of bluestone stood there.

"Smoke and blood are the most beautiful anthems in the world. Follow the God of War, break free from the shackles of cowardice, and release your instincts in the slaughter!"

"My Lord loves fierce battles and favors the roar of clashing blades. Put aside your worries, pick up your weapons, and the power of the God of War will fill your body!"

"..."

Listening to these prayers, the farmers who were tilling the land couldn't help but look up at the castle, their eyes filled with envy.

Deep inside the castle, in a hall surrounded by the many anthems ringing from the outside, the atmosphere was completely opposite.
