Don't call me evil god

Chapter 288 The Core of Divine Power
Since the advent of the God of Light, the gods of the New Huili Era have been implementing a set of traceable divine magic systems.

Those who are not blessed by the gods cannot use the corresponding divine arts.

Even with the blessing of the gods, there are strict restrictions on the use of divine magic.

This limitation is a restriction on the number of times divine spells can be cast.

If the number of times a magic spell is released within a certain period of time reaches the upper limit, the corresponding magic spell will not be used next time.

The higher the level of the magic, the fewer times it can be cast.

At this point, even Noven is actually "restricted".

He passed the knowledge related to divine magic to his believers, and the believers also had to obtain permission from the corresponding gods when casting magic.

It's just that since Nowen has always been able to get permission, it seems that there are no restrictions.

……

This time, the reply from the Illusion Goddess was a lot bigger in hyphenation:
"?!"

"who are you?"

"I've only slept for less than 500 years this time, and the gods of the new era have already learned to speak?"

Noven was speechless for a moment.

It seems that the gods of the new Huili ignored him, not because they treated him differently, but because they really couldn't speak.

He, the self-proclaimed new god who can speak, has become an exception.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Anyway, I am rational and can communicate. That's enough!"

"What's important is why you can't refuse your believers' requests to use divine magic."

This time, the Goddess of Illusion finally gave Nowen the answer he wanted.

"Because this time the mortals somehow found the divine power core left over from the last era, and it was a blank core!"

"This is not something they should be in control of!"

The Goddess of Illusion was not vague. As if she was teaching literacy, she told Nowen exactly what the "core of theocracy" was.

A strange substance that is said to have been created at the beginning of the old times.

Only beings that possess the core of divine authority are qualified to "transform faith into divine power."

in other words.

The core of theocracy is a necessary prerequisite to becoming a god!

This answer had a huge impact on Nowen.

Because it solved a problem that had troubled Novan for a long time:
"Which came first, gods or mortals?"

At least in the old days, with the information provided by the Goddess of Illusion.

The answer to this question is that there were mortals first.

"The existence of gods depends on the faith of mortals."

“The theocratic core can anchor the belief in a god.”

Even if you are just a mortal, after possessing the core of divine power, if you know how to use it, you can start collecting faith and converting it into divine power.

Bring a certain force under your control.

Eventually become a god.

According to the description of the Goddess of Illusion, the core of theocracy is a strange substance that cannot be destroyed by any means.

Anchor the faith with the core and transform the faith into corresponding power, which is the so-called divine power.

For example, the Goddess of Illusion, whose divine power is to create illusions that distort cognition.

Therefore, His theocratic core can also be called the "illusion core."

The problem is that the core of the illusion is not under the control of the goddess, but in the hands of the last 31 believers of the Church of Illusion.

This is the most devastating thing for the Goddess of Illusion.

The step in which mortals need to correspond to the divine power of gods in order to cast divine spells also relies on the core of divine power.

It is like a converter, a device that transforms faith into divine power.

Under normal circumstances, the gods control this core, which means they control their own divine power.

The gods can decide for themselves whether to grant mortals divine power to complete their magic.

Unfortunately, the Goddess of Illusion encountered an abnormal situation. She had no control over her own illusion core!

So it turned into this scene:
"Mortals pray to me and offer their faith. Normally, faith is transformed into divine power through the core."

"I will gain more divine power and give some of it back to mortals." "But now, the core of divine power is not under my control."

"So when the mortal prays, the core directly precipitates the so-called [illusion fragments]."

"The essence of this thing is my divine power!"

"Of course I can use this thing to cast a spell successfully!"

"There are so many successful divine spells! I'm about to explode."

Literally exploded.

"Every time a mortal interacts with a god, whether it's praying or borrowing the god's power, the god will be slightly affected by the void."

"If the influence accumulates too much, it will be the end!"

"The final outcome is the loss of sanity, the corruption of the core, and the degeneration into an evil god!"

The words of the Goddess of Illusion are full of anxiety.

He is really anxious.

Because He had never intended to be a goddess of illusion.

She was impatient and had only helped a mortal once, and then she claimed to be the so-called goddess of illusion.

Without the core of theocracy to anchor faith, no matter how much mortals pray to the "Goddess of Illusion", it will be of no use. There will be no so-called illusion magic, and there will be no real Goddess of Illusion appearing.

However, by some strange coincidence, these mortals happened to find a "blank theocracy core" whose power category had not yet been anchored among the ancient relics unearthed by the dwarves during archaeological excavation.

The original "believers" of the Goddess of Illusion did not know the function of this thing, they just carried it with them.

Until the "believer" prayed a prayer.

The scope of power is clear;

The essence of the deity is clear.

The core was activated and the Goddess of Illusion was "born".

……

Learn the whole story from the Goddess of Illusion.

Old questions answered.

There are more new questions!
The most important one:
"Why do mortals praying to gods cause them to be polluted by the void?"

The Illusion Goddess quickly sent a reply to Nowen:
"If we had known the reason at that time, and what happened in your New Huili era..."

"The influence of the void accumulates to the end."

"Or be polluted and become a crazy evil god;"

"Either self-destruction, theocracy collapses;"

"Either the Kingdom of God is completely closed, no longer accepting faith, and not responding to the prayers of believers."

“There is no other way.”

"The Old Age, which lasted for thousands of years, ended with the collapse of the gods."

"Because until the end, no god had found the cause of pollution, nor the way to avoid it..."

“This is a stable phenomenon.”

“It cannot be circumvented, it cannot be stopped.”

"Even the most powerful god could not escape the bondage of this phenomenon."

Norwen hissed and his heart was shaken.

Sure enough, the secrets belong to the gods, and only the gods know the answers.

The reason the Old Age passed away was because the gods collapsed.

But the cause of Ragnarok lies with mortals!

It is because mortals use divine magic that the gods fall!
After thinking about it, Nowen realized the problem.

"According to this meaning, the gods of the New Huili era will also inevitably face the end!"
