Chapter 84 How Humans Became Gods
"Demi god……"

After murmuring these two words, Roy's heart moved, and he couldn't help but say the question that had been hidden in his heart.

"Goddess Mnemosyne! Since humans can become demigods, I wonder if humans can surpass demigods—become true gods?"

"Do you want to be a god too?"

Seeing that Roy didn't deny it, Mnemoshine smiled and said.

"It's not a secret anyway, let me tell you! You humans have at least two ways to become gods. The first way is to become a hero god. As long as the necessary conditions are met, any human being can become a god after death. god."

"What are the necessary conditions to become a hero god?"

"If you want to be a hero god, you must become a demigod hero while you are alive. After you die, someone must build a temple for you, so that you can be worshiped by human beliefs like a god. As long as 1 people regard you as a god You can gather enough power of faith after 100 years, and with the help of other gods, use the power of faith to upgrade to a hero god."

Roy frowned.

"100 years? I have to wait 100 years after my death before I can become a hero god? But how can I guarantee that people in 100 years will worship me as a god?"

"If you become the king of Thebes who rules Thebes, as long as Thebes is still ruled by your descendants after 100 years, you can become a hero god with the help of your descendants. Because your descendants as rulers , within 100 years after your death, you can use the royal authority to order the people of Thebes to worship you as a god."

Hearing Mnemo Shune's words, Roy's eyes could not help but brighten.

But then, Roy shook his head and said.

"In the history I know, there is no shortage of short-lived dynasties that died in the second or third. I can't guarantee that after my death, my descendants will not be deprived of the throne. If other people take away my city-state , They will definitely destroy my temple, so that I cannot collect the power of faith to upgrade to a hero god. Goddess Mnemosyne, this method you said is gambling on luck, isn't there a better way?"

"If you are worried that in 100 years after your death, your descendants will be taken away by others, you can increase your territory and population. As long as 10 people worship you as a god after your death, before you Ten years after your death, you will be able to collect enough power of faith to become a hero god. If you have no confidence in your descendants and feel that they will be deprived of the throne within ten years after your death, you still have to You can continue to increase your territory and population. As long as 100 million people worship you as a god after your death, you can collect enough power of faith to become a hero god one year after your death."

"As long as 100 million people worship me as a god, can I become a hero god one year after my death?"

Seeing Roy's excited expression, Mnemoshine said coldly.

"I must tell you that only people over the age of 16 can provide you with the power of faith. That is to say, if you want to have 100 million believers after death, you must establish a population of at least A sprawling empire of more than five million."

500 million people——

In this era, Roy wanted to build a huge empire with a population of at least 500 million, not only to bring the whole of Greece into his rule, but also to conquer the populous regions of Egypt, Asia Minor, Phoenicia and Mesopota In the Mia Plain, a centralized rule was established in these areas where the books were the same, and the cars were the same track.

This is not only a human being, but also a great cause that even the gods dare not imagine.

Because in this era, city-state autonomy is the mainstream in various regions.

The so-called Egyptian Empire, Hittite Empire, and Babylonian Empire were unified countries in name only, but in fact they were alliances composed of various city-states, and the lord of the empire was only the leader of the alliance of city-states.

It is precisely because these so-called empires are only alliances of city-states, and the lord of the empire cannot command all the city-states within the territory, so these empires will always be defeated or even conquered by a small number of foreign invaders.

For example, more than 100 years ago, the Phoenician nomadic group with a population of only tens of thousands conquered the Egyptian region with a population of millions by relying on thousands of warriors.

Although this seems like an impossible goal, Roy is very excited about this goal.

After all, as long as a huge empire with a population of more than 500 million is established, Roy can be promoted to a hero god one year after his death.

"Although I don't have the confidence to ensure that ten or a hundred years after my death, the empire I built will still be ruled by my descendants. But after I die, I still have the confidence that the empire I built can last for a year. After all, Hu Hai So incompetent, he also maintained the Great Qin Empire left by the First Emperor for three years."

When he came back to his senses, Roy suppressed his excitement and asked Mnemoshine.

"Goddess Mnemosyne! In addition to the method of conferring gods after death, what is the second way for us humans to become gods?"

"The second way for you humans to become gods is to combine with gods and share their eternal life and divine power."

Mnemo Shune said with a blank face.

"That is to say, as long as you combine with a goddess, you can share the goddess' eternal life and divine power."

"As long as I combine with the goddess, I can share the goddess' eternal life and divine power—"

Roy stared at Mnemoshine with wide eyes, obviously more excited about the second method.

Because the hero god is a god after death, even if he is lucky enough to collect enough power of faith, he can only become a god who has lost his body.

Combined with the goddess, you can avoid the process of death and gain eternal life while you are alive.

"Why are you looking at me like that!"

Mnemo Shune suddenly said with a displeased expression.

"I'm not interested in making you my husband, letting you share my eternal life and divine power."

"Goddess Mnemosyne, you have misunderstood!"

Roy hurriedly explained.

"I was just thinking that after death, the hero god who conferred the gods has no body, so he must not be as good as a real god. As a human being, it is almost impossible for me to get the love of a goddess. Will there be a third Is there a way to make me become a god while I'm still alive?"

"You actually want to become a god in the flesh—"

Mnemo Shune said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Human beings cannot become the same existence as our gods, so if human beings want to become gods, they can only become heroic gods who are always weaker than our gods. If human beings want to combine with gods to share eternal life and divine power, they will be rejected by gods." Complete control of life and death. I have never heard of someone who can confer a god in the flesh, will a human god with a flesh body have the same powerful divine power as our gods?"

Since Mnemoshine is curious about this question, it seems that she has never heard of the human body enshrining the gods, nor does she know the method of the human body enshrining the gods.

Although there is no way to enshrine the gods with the body, Roy did not give up on this goal.

After all, there is no road in the world, and there will be a road if there are more people walking.

If there is no method and precedent for enshrining a god in the flesh, Roy is willing to become the first human god to enshrine a god in the flesh.
