Now, Jiang Ran finally understands what Xiao Yan is up to! The knowledge he possesses is his absolute trump card. The "director" told Xiao Yan that he could reveal these things to them, but he didn't say how. That's entirely up to Xiao Yan!
Among the crowd, Jiang Ran was clearly in charge. Jiang Ran didn't quite believe that Xiao Yan was unaware of his ascension ceremony. The fact that the other party didn't mention Jiang Ran but only talked about Arceus was a blatant conspiracy to sow discord between them!
To become a god, one must collect divinity. Where does divinity come from? It comes from the bodies of other fallen gods. There is only one godhood. If Arceus also wants to become a god, then the two will eventually stand on opposite sides. But right now, Jiang Ran doesn't want this to happen so soon.
"Oh?" Arceus was clearly intrigued. "What kind of ascension ritual? Tell me about it."
"The first step to becoming a god is to collect divinity." Xiao Yan had no intention of hiding anything. "I have said that each godhood corresponds to one core divinity and ten branch divinities, so you need to collect the divinity from all the fallen gods except yourself. This is the foundation for becoming a god."
Arceus glanced at Jiang Ran frankly: "Collecting divinity, how exactly do you intend to collect it?"
“It’s very simple.” Xiao Yan smiled slightly. “By personally killing other Fallen Gods, you can plunder their divinity. However, there is another rule: if a branch divinity possessor kills another branch divinity possessor, the divinity will be lost and merged with someone else. Only when the core divinity possessor kills the branch divinity possessor can the divinity be plundered.”
“Those who possess branch divinity can directly kill those who possess core divinity in order to plunder the core divinity.”
The core divinity possessor can kill the other ten fallen gods regardless of the order, while the branch divinity possessor must kill the core divinity possessor first in order to secure the right to plunder.
Xiao Yan didn't explicitly say who possessed the core divinity, but the implication was quite clear.
The words were laid bare, and it was indeed the truth. Xiao Yan wanted to tell Arceus that if he wanted to become a god, he had to deal with Jiang Ran! Even if he had no ambition, if Jiang Ran wanted to become a god, he would definitely come to kill him!
Jiang Ran did not stop Xiao Yan from continuing, because if he did, it would undoubtedly push Arceus to the opposing side. Xiao Yan was telling Arceus how to become a god, and if Jiang Ran stopped him, wouldn't that be clearly telling Arceus that he had to stop him from becoming a god?
[Shackles] told Jiang Ran that he could plunder divinity without harming his life, but Xiao Yan said that to plunder divinity, one must first kill the person! However, Jiang Ran did not actually know the method of plundering divinity without harming his life, so even if he said it now, it would not be credible at all.
Jiang Ran believed that Arceus was not a fool and must have his own judgment on this matter. As for what he was thinking, Jiang Ran didn't know.
From now on, he has to be wary of Arceus. This isn't a matter of trust or distrust; he simply has to guard against this possibility!
Jiang Ran is currently in a state of turmoil as to how to reclaim his divinity. He might even kill those strangers, but Yu Cheng is someone who trusts him so much and has been his partner all along. Jiang Ran would never turn the knife against her.
Therefore, before mastering the method of taking away only divinity without harming their lives, Jiang Ran did not intend to take action against his teammates. Even if it would slow down his path to godhood, he would at least not cross the line in his heart.
"I don't think I need to go into the details anymore," Xiao Yan smiled, adding fuel to the fire once again, "A person who is always indecisive and soft-hearted can't become a god."
"The above applies to all fallen gods. What I'm about to say is only about you, Arceus. Once you've collected all the divinity, you can begin preparing for your ascension ceremony."
"The ritual for becoming a god is different for each authority. The ritual for becoming a god for [Remnant Dream] is to create a place that did not originally exist, let real people live in it without their knowledge, and then completely destroy the place after a period of time, so that everyone in it will think that they were just having a dream."
"The more people live in it, and the longer they live there, the higher the completion rate of your ascension ritual. If the completion rate of the ascension ritual is too low, it will lead to your failure to ascend and death in the ritual. Your divinity will be lost, creating eleven more fallen gods once again."
"It is important to note that if even one person discovers that this place is fake during the process, your ascension ritual will fail and you will need to start all over again."
Even after collecting divinity, completing rituals, and going through so many complex steps, the ascension process can still fail...
For Yamashita and Aransta, these acting gods, it was just an interesting story; it had nothing to do with them. If they wanted to reclaim their core divinity, they would have to directly challenge a true god, which was simply impossible...
Arceus silently kept Xiao Yan's words in mind, but since the two of them were still enemies, he could only believe half of what Xiao Yan said!
Before receiving absolute confirmation, Arceus wouldn't be foolish enough to perform any godhood ritual as Xiao Yan suggested.
"That's all I can tell you." Xiao Yan made a face. "Well then, bye-bye!"
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes rolled back, his neck lolled to the side, and he died right there in front of everyone!
Xiao Yan's initial plan wasn't to tell them these things, but when he encountered Jiang Nan on the battlefield, he didn't have much mental energy left. He couldn't escape, and he couldn't make a name for himself by standing up, so he had no choice but to play along.
Long ago, Xiao Yan used [Loss] to remove the weakness that "would prevent his mental strength from recovering and make [Miracle] unusable for any reason." Of course, this effect is not permanent. Otherwise, he could simply eliminate one weakness after another, and then eliminate another weakness after his mental strength recovers. Sooner or later, he would be invincible. Therefore, this effect can only last for one day, which ends tonight.
Therefore, his mental energy was not cleared by Jiang Ran's use of [Loss] at all. The [Loss] of the two parties collided paradoxically, so it was directly ineffective. Xiao Yan took the initiative to use his ability to make Jiang Ran lose a part of his mental energy, pretending that it had taken effect, while he himself lay down on the ground.
