In the confined sea water, a huge black shadow slowly crossed the dark water, its dark green ghost eyes staring at the floating boat above its head, and it swam upward silently like a ghost.

Bang--!!

A huge shadow broke through the sea surface, waves rolled, and a half-bull, half-fish monster over a hundred meters tall emerged from the fog.

It looked down at the exploration ship swaying in the waves, with brutality and murderous intent flashing in its dark green eyes. It raised its fan-like hand and then whistled and smashed it down!

clang——!

The sound of a long sword being unsheathed came from the boat, and a flash of sword light instantly pierced through the space and landed on the monster's neck!

Rancid blood spurted out, pouring into the dark sea like a fountain. The monster's head was thrown high into the air, and along with its heavy body, it slowly sank into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

On the exploration ship, Lin Qiye sat on the top of the cabin and put [Zhan Bai] back into the sheath with an expressionless face.

The sky was filled with rancid blood mixed with sea water, but it was blocked by the darkness of night and could not touch his body at all. He glanced around calmly, and after confirming that there was no more "mystery" around him, he jumped lightly from the roof of the cabin and walked into the cabin.

"Qingyu, how long will it take us to get there?"

"Not far away." An Qingyu said as he steered the boat. "From the route we're on, we've already entered the route that overlaps with Senior Sword Saint's route. It will take less than half a day to get from here to the mission location marked on the map."

“Have we reached the route of Senior Sword Saint?” Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows.

"Did you find anything with your mental power?" Shen Qingzhu, who had been standing by the window and paying attention to the surroundings, looked at him and said helplessly, "The visibility in the fog is not high to begin with. It is impossible to distinguish the surrounding environment with the naked eye. In a place like this, perhaps only your mental power perception can work."

"No." Lin Qiye shook his head, "Except for a few 'mysterious' that have been hovering around us, we haven't found anything else."

Lin Qiye frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the blond man sitting quietly at the table. After a brief hesitation, he walked over and sat down opposite him:

"Senior Seraph, have you found anything?"

Lin Qiye's mental perception originally came from the [Mortal God Realm], and the owner of this divine ruins was sitting in front of him at this moment. Lin Qiye didn't know how wide the range of Michael's mental perception was, but it was definitely far beyond his limit.

As if remembering that Michael had never seen Zhou Ping, Lin Qiye quickly added, "We are looking for someone. He usually likes to wear a black shirt and carries a sword box on his back. He is a Daxia person who has entered the divine realm..."

"I know who you're talking about. I was on the moon and saw him become a god." Michael shook his head calmly, "He's not around here."

Lin Qiye was stunned. "Did you see him become a god?"

"There is a sword mark carved on the avenue. Any powerful god who possesses laws will notice it. Moreover, it has never happened before that a mortal creates his own laws and becomes a god. Of course I will pay attention to it." Michael paused for a moment. "To some extent, this incident itself is a 'miracle'. As long as it is a 'miracle', it cannot escape my eyes."

Michael's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the cabin.

Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask:

"Is it really that difficult for a mortal to become a god?"

Michael glanced at him and slowly said, "Do you know why God can become God?"

"Because they have the Law."

"This is only part of the reason." Michael continued, "In addition, there is another important factor, and that is faith."

"Belief?"

Lin Qiye had been to Takamagahara with Merlin, and of course knew the importance of the power of faith to the gods, but for others, this was their first exposure.

"All gods in the world exist in the form of pantheons. This is because only by forming a mythological system can faith be spread and power be gained from all living beings to increase its own power. Each pantheon has a source of power that is used to collect faith and distribute it to different gods, which is the 'origin of the pantheon.'"

“Although ‘The Origin of the God System’ contains the word ‘origin’, it is different from the natural origin of the birth of heaven and earth. This origin is jointly created by the gods of a god system and belongs to the divine origin. Only the gods belonging to this god system can draw the power of faith from the origin to enhance themselves.”

"Do you know how the realms of the gods are divided?"

Lin Qiye and others all shook their heads.

“In the divine realm, there is actually no realm division. As long as one does not reach the highest level, theoretically, the realm of all gods in the world is the same. However, for these gods, because the mythological stories circulating in the world are different, the power of faith collected from the ‘origin of the divine system’ is also different.

The story is widely circulated. Gods with more power of faith are stronger, while gods with almost no power of faith are extremely weak. Among the many pantheons, the former are called the main gods, and the latter are called the secondary gods.

Although the main god and the secondary god are in the same realm, their strengths are very different due to the different increases in the power of faith. "

Hearing this, Lin Qiye suddenly realized.

According to this, the Ennead Gods of Egypt, the God of Thunder and the God of Trickery of Asgard, the Golden Immortal of Daxia, the Monkey King, Erlang Shen... those whose stories are more widely circulated should all belong to the level of the main gods.

"The 'origin of the pantheon' is extremely important to the gods of a pantheon. Once the origin is broken, the strength of many gods in this pantheon will decline rapidly, especially the main gods. For them, their true strength only accounts for 50% of their total strength. The other 50% is almost entirely increased by the power of faith."

"And humans cannot become gods. One of the reasons is that there are no corresponding laws. In addition, there is no divine origin to provide faith."

“Without faith, they must rely on their own willpower to break through their limits, believe in themselves, and become gods of their own… Among humans, there are very few who possess this level of willpower, and even fewer who have the potential to become gods. It is indeed a miracle that Daxia can produce a sword immortal.

The advantage of a mortal becoming a god is that the origin of his god system is himself, and there is no one else to distract the faith. Therefore, once he enters the realm of god, he will definitely be at the level of a main god, and he will be the most powerful main god among all the main gods. "

No wonder Zhou Ping could kill one of the Nine Pillar Gods with one sword just after becoming the Great Xia Sword Immortal... Lin Qiye thought to himself.

Lin Qiye opened his mouth to ask something else, but his eyes narrowed slightly and he quickly turned his head to look out the porthole.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Qiye's strange expression, An Qingyu asked.

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, rushed out of the cabin quickly, came to the edge of the left side of the bow, stared into the distance, and the others followed closely behind him.

In the mist, an island gradually emerged. On the east side of the island, a sword mark was carved on the earth like a natural moat, almost cutting half of the island in half.
