"Thank you, senior, but no need. I think one is fine. Senior can use divine power on marriage. Is your divine status related to marriage?" An Ge didn't directly ask if the man was the god of marriage. He only said that he could use divine power on marriage, which meant that other gods also had this ability.
Ange thought that this was probably related to his divine status.
"Little girl, you actually tried to trick me into telling you something?" The man seemed a little angry.
An Ge smiled; she didn't think her little schemes would anger the other person. Although they had only just met, she knew her senior wouldn't get angry over such trivial matters.
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, senior." Flattery will get you everywhere.
The man smiled broadly, "You little rascal, you're quite bold. You're not the only chosen one to have visited this secret realm in the past ten thousand years, but you're the one who suits my temperament the best. I'm in a good mood, so feel free to ask me anything you want."
An Ge straightened her posture, cupped her hands, and said, "An Ge would like to ask Senior about the Chosen Ones."
"Your question is too broad. The little guy is still trying to outsmart me. Oh well, you'll find out sooner or later anyway, so telling you now might as well. Do you know about the War of the Gods?"
An Ge shook her head, somewhat surprised. Could it be that there were many gods in the past?
The man wasn't surprised by An Ge's lack of understanding, but he sighed, "Tens of thousands of years ago, all realms were controlled by gods. But the gods' desires were boundless, and none of them would submit to the others, which eventually led to the War of the Gods."
The war raged for over a thousand years. These gods believed that victory would grant them the power to rule over all the gods, but they reaped the bitter fruits of their actions. The constant fighting depleted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the gods discovered that their divine power was gradually fading.
Gradually, the gods fell, entering an era of divine obscurity. After the gods' demise, the laws of heaven and earth left a glimmer of hope—this is the divine nature.
The divine essence, carrying the powers of the gods, is scattered throughout the land, seeking a destined individual to restore the gods' glory. However, since the divine essence is detached from the divine body, its powers are limited; those chosen to become gods through the divine essence also have limited abilities.
"So the senior can only influence a portion of marriages, but is not the god who governs marriages!" An Ge suddenly realized.
"Little fellow, you are indeed clever. Not only me, but every Chosen One has the ability to influence things to some extent, but none of them can completely control them. However, this is already quite impressive. Do you know the difference between cultivators and Chosen Ones?"
An Ge shook her head. "After cultivators become gods, are they really less powerful than the chosen ones?"
"Yes and no! In fact, the ascension of cultivators is merely the acquisition of the ability to cross planes. Ascension is not even the end; those above the Immortal level have higher pursuits. Their abilities are only reflected in their strength. Even their ability to cross planes is limited; they cannot go to any plane they want at will. But the Chosen Ones are different."
Once a chosen one becomes a god, they can not only traverse planes at will, but also possess divine power—the influence I just mentioned over all things. This is something ascended beings cannot do. They have merely reached a new level of power, but they do not possess godhood.
In terms of combat strength, some Chosen Ones may be weaker than Ascended Ones. After all, many Chosen Ones' divine essences are not combat-oriented. However, this doesn't mean that Chosen Ones are necessarily inferior to Ascended Ones. You are probably already familiar with the abilities of divine essences.
Moreover, for those who ascend, becoming a god's servant is more beneficial than harmful. Before a god becomes a god, a servant is subject to greater restrictions. Once a god becomes a god, a servant has much more freedom, and even the god's chosen one cannot force them to do anything.
Therefore, many chosen ones choose to voluntarily terminate their contracts before becoming gods. "Little one, do you have a divine servant?"
An Ge nodded. "There are a few."
"Then you'd better be careful. You must get rid of your divine servants before you become a god, otherwise they will benefit greatly during the process. If they are dissatisfied with you, they may cause you trouble in the future."
While these troubles may not necessarily endanger you, it's better to avoid them.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior." An Ge knew that becoming a god would be of great help to her divine servant, and she was even more reluctant to break the contract. She didn't know how others interacted with their divine servants, but to her, her divine servant was not only a comrade-in-arms, but also a friend and family.
Ange asked the man a few more questions, and he answered them all, which gave her a better understanding of the Chosen Ones.
"Each god has different abilities, and I can only give you my experience. In fact, you will naturally understand these things after you become a god. For many chosen ones, knowing too much information in advance may not be a good thing."
"But I don't think you are. You're just a teenager, yet you have a mature personality and can resist temptation." The man had clearly heard An Ge's refusal to cultivate for godhood and greatly admired her behavior.
Among those chosen to become gods, most consider divinity as part of themselves; those who only treat divinity as a tool generally do not go far.
"Let me see which aspect you will govern after you become a god?" The man was almost certain that An Ge could become a god.
Normally, probing someone's abilities is not allowed. But since An Ge is still just an ordinary person, for someone who has already become a god, being able to talk to her so much is already a great respect for her, especially since he believes that An Ge will definitely become a god.
As for An Ge seeking revenge after becoming a god and remembering the investigation, he is not afraid.
The man was no ordinary chosen one; he was among the first to possess a divine title after the fall of the gods, and had been a god for ten thousand years. His abilities were far beyond those of a new god.
Therefore, the man was not afraid of offending this future new god at all.
An Ge felt an irresistible force enveloping her, leaving her with no way to escape. The feeling of being at the mercy of others made her extremely uncomfortable.
Damn it! An Ge cursed inwardly. She had rarely encountered such an uncontrollable situation. It was never a good thing for her intuition to be probed.
She had previously thought that although this deity was somewhat unruly, at least he was approachable. Now it seemed that approachable my foot; the deity had absolutely no respect for her.
An Ge knew that in the other party's eyes she was nothing more than an ant, and that she could be seriously injured by a single thought. So she immediately suppressed her displeasure and said that there was plenty of time in the future.
A high and mighty god? Ha! If all gods are like this, they certainly don't deserve her respect. Once she becomes a god, she'll definitely go and slaughter this god's homeland.
The man didn't care what An Ge thought, or rather, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After all, who cares about the thoughts of an ant?
"Huh?" The man suddenly widened his eyes. "You actually have a Chosen One with whom you have a contract? In this day and age, how can there be such a stupid Chosen One?"
