The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 476 The Birth of a False God
Just then, a tremendous change occurred in the world.

A dazzling light burst forth from David, shooting straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful energy fluctuation spread outwards from the Wizard Tower, causing the elements within a hundred miles to lose their balance and triggering an elemental tide.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the earth shook violently, as if the whole world was trembling for this ceremony.

As the ritual progressed, an unprecedented power surged within David.

He felt as if he had merged with the heavens and earth, and was able to control all the elements around him.

Finally, through his efforts, the Chaos Divine Fire blazed fiercely atop the Wizard Tower.

The flames were an eerie purple, containing both the purity and order of the elements, as well as the wildness and disorder of chaos.

Its appearance signifies that David has successfully completed the triple divine ritual and become a true deity.

However, the cost of this ceremony was enormous.

The imbalance of elements within a radius of hundreds of miles triggered a severe natural disaster, resulting in the deaths of countless lives.

At the same time, this powerful force has also attracted the attention of several wizarding organizations.

They dispatched powerful warriors to besiege the Wizard's Tower, attempting to seize the Chaos Divine Fire and the divine items on David's body.

Faced with the siege of a powerful enemy, David did not back down.

He knew he had become the focus of the entire wizarding world, and he had to fight to the bitter end, no matter the outcome.

So he gathered all the team members together to resist the attack from the enemy.

A fierce battle unfolded around the wizard's tower, with both sides exchanging blows and refusing to give way.

Meanwhile, Cynthia is also undergoing her own transformation.

She absorbed the sap of the Mother Tree of Life and resonated with the nature deity, which greatly accelerated the materialization process of her divine body.

Now, her divine body has been 60% materialized, and she has gained the power to manipulate plants and life transformations.

Cynthia stood in a dense forest, feeling the vibrant life force around her.

With a gentle wave of her finger, countless plants grow, bloom, and bear fruit under her will.

She can even manipulate these plants for attack and defense, demonstrating astonishing power.

However, Cynthia's transformation was not recognized by the Elven race.

Instead, they regarded her as a "blasphemer" and banished her from their territory.

The elves considered it a desecration and insult to the Mother Tree by believing that Cynthia had absorbed its sap and gained the power of a nature deity.

They could not accept that an outsider possessed such great power and controlled their destiny.

Cynthia felt helpless and saddened by this.

She meant no harm; she simply wanted to use the power of the Mother Tree of Life to perfect her divine body and protect those around her.

But now it seems that she has lost the trust and support of the elves.

She will have to face the challenges and difficulties of the future alone.

In the battle at the Wizard Tower, David's team also faced an unprecedented crisis.

As elemental apostles in the team, Fire Dance and Water Lily's elementalization is becoming increasingly pronounced.

Their bodies began to gradually become transparent, as if they might disappear into the air at any moment.

David knew that if things continued this way, they would eventually lose themselves completely and become pure elemental beings.

To save Huo Wu and Shui Lian, David made a difficult decision—to let them voluntarily enter the Chaos Divine Fire to become "spirits".

In this way, their souls can be protected and the stability of the Davidic realm can be maintained.

David will also use his power to reshape their bodies and give them a physical form again.

Although Huo Wu and Shui Lian hesitated for a moment, they eventually agreed to David's proposal.

They knew they didn't have much time left to waste, and David was their only hope.

Guided by David, they entered the Chaos Divine Fire and transformed into two dazzling beams of light.

However, this battle also created rifts within the team.

Lena's accidental injury to Lia while in a state of memory confusion strains the relationship between the two.

David was deeply saddened by this and did not want to see the team split up because of it.

So he temporarily sealed Lena in an ice barrier to prevent her from going out of control and hurting people again, and promised to find a way to restore her memory as soon as possible.

The battle lasted for several days.

David and his team, with their indomitable will and outstanding combat skills, finally repelled all the enemies and protected the Wizard Tower.

But the victory did not bring much joy or relief, because they knew that this was only the beginning.

The road ahead is long and full of unknowns and challenges waiting for them to explore and conquer.

After the battle at the Wizard Tower ended, David stood on the ruins, surrounded by the lingering Chaos Flame.

With the help of this power, he briefly stepped into the realm of gods and became a false god.

His gaze swept across the surroundings, and the forces that had once besieged the Wizard Tower were now prostrate on the ground, not daring to look directly at his majesty.

David waved his hand gently, and an invisible force surged from his body, instantly suppressing all hostile forces.

They seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.

This scene shocked everyone present; they had never seen such power before.

However, David was filled with worry.

He knew that although his power was great at the moment, he was still a pseudo-god, lacking a stable anchor and the recognition of the world's will.

He could feel the world's will rejecting and suppressing him, as if it would erase him from this plane at any moment.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind: "Warning! The host has reached the pseudo-god level, but lacks sufficient anchor points and has been rejected by the world's will. Please complete the establishment of the 'Faith Network' or seize the divine status of a true god within thirty days, otherwise you will face the crisis of dimensional rejection."

David frowned; he knew the system's words were not an exaggeration.

He must make a choice as soon as possible, otherwise not only will he be in danger, but the entire team may also suffer annihilation as a result.

He began to think about how to build a "network of faith" and the possibility of seizing the divine status of the true God.

Building a "faith network" is no easy task.

It requires David to build a broad base of believers who develop a deep sense of faith in him.

However, in this world where wizards are revered, it is not easy to get people to abandon their worship of wizards and instead believe in a new false god.

Moreover, David needed to accomplish this feat in just thirty days.

As for seizing the divine status of a true god, this is an even more risky and challenging choice. The divine status of a true god is the source and symbol of divine power, and every true god cherishes it as a treasure.

To seize divinity from them would undoubtedly mean facing their wrath and retaliation.

But David knew that this was currently the only way for him to quickly solidify his divine position.

After careful consideration, David decided to take a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, he began to spread his beliefs and ideas in the wizarding world, trying to attract wizards who were dissatisfied with the status quo or were seeking new ways to become his followers.

On the other hand, he also began to secretly investigate the weaknesses and whereabouts of those gods who possessed the divine status of true gods, in preparation for a possible takeover attempt.

At the same time, Cynthia was also working hard to complete her divine body.

She knew her time was equally limited; she had to complete the transformation before David faced a crisis.

So she made a bold decision—to risk absorbing the plague spores and fusing them with the illusory divinity.

Blood plague spores are an extremely dangerous species, possessing immense vitality and destructive power.

Once infected with blood plague spores, an organism will experience severe mutations and suffering, and may even die as a result.

But Cynthia believed that if she could successfully fuse the plague spores with the illusory divinity, her divine body would gain unprecedented power and enhancement.

In a secluded laboratory, Cynthia began her experiment.

She carefully extracted the plague spores and fused them with her divine power.

During the process, she experienced unprecedented pain and torment, as if her entire body was being torn apart and reassembled.

But she persevered thanks to her amazing willpower and thirst for power.

After several days of effort, Cynthia finally succeeded in completing the fusion.

Her divine body was thus greatly enhanced, not only accelerating the materialization process but also gaining new powers to control epidemics and redeem lives.

She seemed to have become a "goddess of plague and salvation," capable of bringing devastating disasters as well as giving life hope and redemption.

However, this transformation also came at a great cost to Cynthia.

Her body bears indelible scars and pain, and her mind also suffers immense pressure and burden.

But she knew it was all worth it because she had gained enough strength to face future challenges and crises.

On the distant border of the Frosty Realm, a sudden collapse of the earth's veins shattered the tranquility of this frigid land.

The enormous fissure, like the gaping maw of a demon, devoured everything around it; even solid rocks and ancient ice layers could not withstand its devouring power.

Annie is leading her earth dragon beast to explore this area.

However, when the ley lines collapsed, her earth dragon beast lost control, and its massive body crashed into the bottomless crevice.

Annie was frantic. She tried to summon back the Earth Dragon, but everything seemed so futile.

Just when she was in despair, a miracle happened.

The moment the Earth Dragon Beast fell into the rift, the "Desolate Divinity" that had been dormant within it was unexpectedly awakened.

This divine quality originates from the ancient Titan bloodline and resonates strongly with the earth's leyline core.

The earth dragon's body began to undergo astonishing changes; its scales became harder, and its eyes shone with a light of desolation and rebirth.

Through her mental contract ability, Annie clearly sensed the changes occurring within the Earth Dragon Beast.

To her surprise, she found that her connection with the Earth Dragon Beast had become even stronger, as if she could share the Earth Dragon Beast's power and perception.

At the same time, she also sensed the powerful energy surging beneath the ley lines, the ancient power contained within the ley line creatures and the ley lines themselves.

However, the awakening of this power also brought crisis to Anne.

She found herself beginning to be affected by the changes in the earth's veins, her mind becoming unstable and her body undergoing strange changes.

She realized that if she couldn't control this force in time, she might lose herself and even endanger the safety of the entire team.

David, far away on the other side, keenly sensed Annie's unusual behavior through the perception ability of the Chaos Divine Fire.

He immediately realized that Anne might be facing an unprecedented crisis.

So he quickly gathered his team members and prepared to head to the border of the Frostlands to rescue Annie.

On his way to the scene, David analyzed Anne's situation in detail.

He discovered that Anne's mental contract ability not only allowed her to establish connections with creatures beneath the ley lines, but also to sense the energy flow beneath them.

This gave him a bold idea: if he could help Anne condense her divine body, she would become the first anchor point for them to lay out their "network of faith".

David knew that forming a divine body was no easy task; it required enormous energy and specific conditions.

However, considering the dormant "Desolate Divinity" within Anne and her close connection to the ley lines, he believed this was an opportunity worth trying.

When David and his group arrived at the border of the Frost Realm, they saw Annie in distress and the mutated earth dragon.

David immediately contacted Anne and conveyed his plan to her.

At first, Anne hesitated and felt uneasy about the idea of ​​forming a divine body.

She worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the consequences of this force.

But with David's encouragement and the support of her team, she finally decided to take the plunge.

The process of condensing a divine body is full of hardships and challenges.

Annie needs to constantly guide the earth's energy into her body while also controlling the berserk behavior of the earth dragon beast.

During this process, she experienced unprecedented pain and torment, and her body and mind were under tremendous pressure.

However, it was this pressure and challenge that brought out Anne's potential.

She gradually learned how to coexist harmoniously with the earth's ley line energy and how to use this power to strengthen her divine body.

As time went by, her body began to emit a faint glow, a symbol of divine awakening.

Finally, on a snowy night, Anne successfully condensed her divine body.

She seemed to have been reborn, radiating an aura of holiness and majesty.

At the same time, her connection with the Earth Dragon Beast became even closer and stronger; they seemed to have become one, jointly protecting this icy land.

As Anne's divine body was successfully condensed, a divine resonance spread throughout the entire ley line network.

The ancient creatures that had been sleeping beneath the earth's veins began to awaken. They sensed the divine aura emanating from Anne and expressed their submission and respect to her.

Seeing this, David immediately seized the opportunity.

He began to guide these leyline creatures to establish a faith connection with Anne, incorporating them into the "faith network."

As time went on, the "faith network" gradually grew, becoming an important support for David to consolidate his false god status.
