An invincible journey starting from a different race

As Kent spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Aesop, speaking righteously.

"Only a god can defeat a god! So if you want to get close to the goddess, there's only one way."

"That is, become a god yourself!"

"Become...the Dart God!"

What the hell is on my face?!

A group of people stared in amazement at Kent who suddenly rushed in.

Although I don't know what happened, it seemed that some very passionate words came out of Kent's mouth just now, especially when combined with Kent's current actions, there was a sense of "Go save the world".

But this scene...it feels weird no matter how I look at it.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Stank couldn't help but ask, "What kind of dart god is this? Can all dart masters become gods?"

Kent asked, “Why not?”

"...Is the God you're talking about the same God I understand?"

"It means the same thing as the god in the goddess."

Hearing this, the corners of Jer's mouth twitched. "Although I know that you human magicians have no faith in the goddess, you shouldn't blaspheme her to such an extent, right? If the people in the church heard your words, you would definitely be beaten to death."

"But I'm telling the truth, okay?" Seeing that few people responded, Kent felt a little bored, so he sat down as well, grabbed the midnight snack on the table, and said as he ate, "How do you think the goddess ascended to heaven? Was she born a goddess?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course... not." Kent mumbled between bites, "It was faith that made her a goddess. It was everyone's faith, that boundless power of faith that allowed her to ascend successfully."

Listening to Kent's explanation, everyone subconsciously exchanged glances.

They wanted to refute Kent, but subconsciously felt that what Kent said was right. After all, it sounded quite reasonable.

It's over. With this idea, they are now being disrespectful.

Aesop was not surprised by Kent's statement. After all, he had known for a long time that the source of the goddess' power was faith, but he did not know that he could ascend to heaven by relying on the power of faith.

But he was more curious: "Why do you know so much?"

"Nonsense. You know, the only enemy an arcanist can't face in this world... ahem, well, I can't really call it an enemy, I'd say the only person they can't reach is the goddess." Kent raised his finger and pointed at the dark sky. "Even if an arcanist possesses the most powerful magic in the world, they can't rely on magical flight to reach the sky, that is, the heavens. So, it's natural for arcanists to study goddesses who can travel to the heavens."

Having said that, Kent paused, then continued.

"I was originally going to teach you this knowledge after you became an arcanist, but since you ran away, I can only ask you to tell it to me. Human arcanists of all generations have long studied it thoroughly and know that it was through the power of faith, with wings formed by faith, that the goddess ascended to heaven and built the heavens. The reason angels can ascend to heaven is because they are the goddess's incarnations and possess the same power of faith."

Listening to Kent's words, Stank's brows furrowed tightly. "You sound so simple. Doesn't that mean that as long as one has faith, anyone can ascend?"

"Simple? How could it possibly be simple?" Kent scoffed. "Don't you ever consider quantity? In the past thousand years, only one goddess has successfully ascended. Do you know how immense the power of faith is?"

Stank asked subconsciously: "How big is it?"

Before Kent could reply, Jer spoke up, "That's the faith of all the alien races. Before the goddess became a goddess, the world was in the midst of a chaotic war, with all races fighting each other and suffering heavy casualties. At that time, all races longed for peace, longing to have enough food and clothing and stop fighting. And then, the goddess appeared. Is this what you want to say?"

"As expected of an immortal, you know quite a lot." Kent gave Jel a thumbs-up. "Yes, the goddess became a deity with the help of such a huge power of faith. Now it's a peaceful era. Hundreds of years have passed since the war, and the integration of different races is sufficient. Nothing can make these alien races pick up faith other than the goddess. No one can unite all the alien races and worship them as a god. Great kings can't do it, and powerful arcanists can't do it. The most powerful monarchs in history could do was to make their subjects believe in them, and arcanists could only have a small number of people following them. These beliefs couldn't even make them immortal, let alone become gods."

"I see." Stank understood. "Then why did you want Aesop to become a god? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"How is that nonsense?" Kent said seriously. "Aesop had already started collecting beliefs. Look at how popular his book 'Aesop's Fables' is. Countless escorts around the world have idolized Aesop. So why couldn't Aesop become a god?"

Everyone was silent, just staring at Kent. This made Kent's seriousness short-lived. He soon gave in and raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, I admit I'm just a fun guy. I also know it's ridiculous to rely on those escorts to become a god, but I also want to see how much faith Aesop has collected after publishing 'Aesop's Fables' for so long."

Aesop asked, "How should we view this?"

"There's a magic trick that can transform the power of faith into actual light," Kent said. "You can judge the strength of one's faith by the brightness of the light. Legend has it that when the goddess first demonstrated faith, she successfully condensed the power of faith into a pair of wings of light, and it was these wings of light that allowed her to ascend. As for you... wings probably aren't going to be possible. Let's see if you can create a little light. Let's see if the faith of a se-se person can really accomplish anything."

After hearing what Kent said, everyone became interested and immediately asked Aesop to show it to them.

Aesop did not refuse. Following Kent's teachings, he began to gather magic power, and then gathered the magic power on "Aesop's Fables" with a sense of ritual.

"Then, all you have to do is open the book, and the light of faith will fly out from the title page." Kent recalled and instructed, "Quick, quick, put out all the candles."

"why is that?"

"Nonsense! The light of faith is very weak. If you don't look carefully, you will definitely miss it." Kent said, "So it can only be seen more clearly in a completely dark environment."

Everyone understood and blew out the candles immediately.

Then, a group of people looked at each other in confusion in the pitch-black darkness.

"Are you ready, Aesop?" Kent asked.

"I'm ready," Aesop said. "I'm going to start."

"Alright," Kent continued, "remember to keep your eyes open, lest you miss the light of faith. I tell you, if it weren't for me, you'd never see this thing in your lifetime."

"I understand, I understand."

Everyone stared wide-eyed in the darkness.

Then Aesop opened the title page of Aesop's Fables.

The next second, an extremely dazzling white light shot out from the book, instantly "blinding" everyone's eyes.

"Oh! my eyes, my eyes!"

"What the fuck is on my face?! Why is it white?!"

"It's the light, it's the fucking light!"

That night, the Dream Demon Town, which should have fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened by a burst of white light.

The escorts and nightmares turned their heads and saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

A sword that seemed to be able to illuminate the world... shot out from the food and wine pavilion, straight into the bottomless sky.

It was as if he was about to raise his hand to fight the sky.

471 Glittering Sword

If an ordinary person who doesn't know magic is there, he will probably be blinded by the light.

Fortunately, everyone present was not an ordinary person. Kent and Jer gave everyone a BUFF in time, allowing everyone to gradually adapt.

Of course, after he got used to it, he immediately launched verbal attacks on Kent.

"Didn't you fucking say the light was tiny?!"

“And we were told to turn off the lights!”

"You wish we were dead, don't you?!"

Facing the accusations, Kent felt very innocent. He explained, "I didn't know it would be like this. This is too unreasonable! The goddess was able to gain so much faith because everyone longed for peace... Could it be that in times of peace, everyone's desire for sese has surpassed their desire for peace? This is too ridiculous!"

Although it does sound unbelievable, this ironclad fact is now right in front of them... oh no, it is splashed in their faces, forcing them to admit... the bitter thoughts may really outweigh the thoughts of peace.

Kent quickly turned to look at Aesop, who was bathed in white light, and asked, "How do you feel now?"

Aesop closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then opened them and said, "I feel a very strong force, even... I feel like I'm about to fly."

Kent immediately became excited: "That means you're going to ascend! Aesop, you're going to ascend, you're actually going to ascend!"

Stank, who was standing by, had a strange expression on his face: "Your description is too strange..."

"Shut up! Don't worry about such details at a time like this!" Kent glared at Stank, then questioned Aesop again, "So, can we level up now?"

Aesop shook his head and said, "It feels a little bit off."

"How to say?"

Aesop raised a finger and said, "Although it's already very long, it's still not long enough. It's still a little bit short. If it's just a little bit longer, it will be there."

After listening to Aesop's description, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Gan Qiu murmured softly, "Are you sure you're talking about ascension? Besides, Kent just said that the goddess's holy light is a pair of wings, but Aesop's holy light...why does it look so much like a...ahem, like a holy sword."

Kent said, "Because the power of faith comes from the believers' longing and imagination, people used to envision the goddess as a winged messenger of peace from heaven, which is why the goddess has wings. But Aesop's followers have different longings for Aesop, and naturally the image they conjure is also different."

Kent's words once again caused everyone present to fall into silence.

According to this statement, wouldn't Aesop's followers' imagination of Aesop be just a... ahem, a holy sword?

Damn, this is too weird!

But when I thought it was Aesop, it didn't seem so strange anymore.

"You feel like you can't reach the heavens right now. It's probably because you don't have enough power of faith," Kent said. "Although it's truly astonishing that you were able to condense such a huge power of faith in such a short period of time, it's still a little insufficient. But it doesn't matter. As long as you can wait a little longer..."

Before Kent could finish his words, the door of the food and wine pavilion was pushed open again, and it was the impetuous Demia who came in.

"No, Aesop! That's enough! That's enough!" Demia shouted at Aesop, "You can ask your believers for power now!"

Aesop looked at Demia in surprise. "Are you asking for power from your followers? But isn't my current power given by them?"

"Yes, but you can still ask them for more!" Demia raised his hand and pointed at Aesop, saying, "If you can feel that you are just a little bit short, then ask them directly for it, and then use this power to complete the ascension directly!"

After hearing what Demia said, Aesop hadn't responded yet. Kent frowned beside him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Aesop doesn't know much about the heavens. Why not wait a few days and accumulate your experience..."

"If you hadn't displayed it, you could have waited a few more days!" Demia interrupted Kent, saying, "But you've already displayed it now. Your holy sword of light can be seen for a hundred miles! Do you think the church will let you continue?! You're only the second person to ascend in a thousand years. Now the goddess won't be the only one! Do you think the church will accept this?"

Demia's words reminded everyone that there is still a church in this world.

Although the church was generally easy to talk to, that didn't mean they would allow Aesop to ascend, not to mention that the purpose of Aesop's ascension was...

"Fuck, I almost forgot about that." Kent, belatedly reminded by Demia, slapped the back of his head and said in frustration, "This is really bad news. It might even start a war. Damn it, why didn't I think of that?"

After listening to the conversation between the two, the rest of the people looked at each other in confusion.

How did things get so serious? Just now the Holy Sword of Light was so huge and bright, and now it's going to start a war because of this?

Aesop asked, "What should I do then?"

"Two choices." Demia held up two fingers. "Either, return to Deya College immediately and let Abel protect you. After all, he's the only one who can withstand the pressure of the church. Or, as I just said, immediately ask your believers for power and ascend directly. Do what needs to be done before the church reacts!"

"...Are you talking about the business you want to do, or the goddess?" Kelim felt that his position was very awkward.

After listening to Demia's advice, Aesop chose the second option without hesitation: "How can I gain the power of the believers?"

"It's very simple. I'll teach you." Demia seemed to have guessed Aesop's choice long ago. After snapping his fingers, he said, "The power of gods and believers has always been mutual. They can pray to you, and you can pray to them. Now, do this..."

……

A moment later, all the loyal readers of "Aesop's Fables" felt a voice in their hearts saying something to them, causing them to stand up involuntarily, turn their heads to look at the huge pillar of light on the horizon, and mutter to themselves.

"I feel it, I feel it, Lord Patrick... needs me."

As they spoke, they seemed to sense something and subconsciously lowered their heads.

Sure enough, they saw the sword beneath them...

In the sparkling.

Final Chapter A went up (the whole book is finished)

"This light...what's going on?!"

"Why are our swords glowing?!"

Not only the church leaders in the Holy City, but countless places in the world are playing out the same scene at this moment.

Even the people around Aesop, such as Stank and Jel, watched the light and heat emanating continuously from under them, and at the same time, they all flew towards the Holy Sword of Light in the center.

Aesop closed his eyes and said softly, "I feel it, I already feel... everyone's power."

"Asshole! Your power is too indecent!"

"Don't feel this kind of power so carefully!"

Everyone was about to scold Aesop, but the next scene left them dumbfounded.

I saw endless streams of light pouring in from all directions, flowing neatly towards the holy sword in the center. These rays of light almost turned the dark night into day.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"What the hell is this!"

Aesop didn't say anything, but there was no need for him to speak. The power of faith coming from all directions was making the Holy Sword of Light continue to expand.
