Chapter 471: Freedom from restraints

You really can’t underestimate any god, even the one imagined by the Kou Tao fishmen.

Even the dumbest gods possess knowledge that mortals cannot comprehend.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to deal with this trick of Kuo Tao Fishman. They either give up completely or wait to be forcibly sent to the throne of God. I believe that the goddess of Kuo Tao Fishman has already contacted those evil gods and is waiting to eat Ai Ge.

But Ai Ge is different from others. She has too many choices because she has many friends whom she can trust, and each of them is talented.

"Let me try the power of faith." Amber Xiu made the first invitation.

Generally speaking, no one is willing to share such precious things, but the relationship between Ai Ge and Amber Xiu is no longer just a friendship. The relationship between the two should be called "allies", with common interests and losses for all. Therefore, Ai Ge believed in Amber Xiu without reservation, and Amber Xiu did not disappoint Ai Ge's trust and helped her to the brink of becoming a god.

Now that Amber Xiu asked Ai Ge for the power of faith, Ai Ge naturally would not be stingy at all.

Ai Ge grabbed Amber's hand, and a huge force poured into his body.

This is completely different from the feeling of magic. When Amber felt the power of faith transferred to him, he felt as if nothing could happen. He had the illusion that he could turn the whole world into gold in the blink of an eye.

But what followed were countless chaotic voices, as if ten thousand lunatics were shouting at Amber Xiu, saying those irrelevant, twisted and weird words, and Amber Xiu's body also changed accordingly.

Barnacle-like growths began to form on his skeleton, and even his soul began to twist.

“This is too scary!”

This forced transfer will consume a large amount of the power of faith. It is possible that only one point will be left out of ten points of power after the transfer. After all, Aige is not a god yet, and his control over the power of faith is very low.

But even if it was only one-tenth, it was still a bit too much for Amber to bear, and he quickly summoned out his golden throne.

The enormous power of faith seemed to have found an outlet and madly poured into the golden chair behind Amber.

The original backrest of the golden throne was missing most of its original shape, and it turned from a throne into a small stool. After a large amount of power of faith poured in, it began to "grow" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Countless golden spots of light appeared, which was the Golden Throne constantly converting the power of faith into gold.

What followed was a change in Ai Ge. The scales, shells and other things on her ghost ship began to fade away, because Ai Ge really gave the power of faith to Amber Xiu without reservation.

As the Golden Throne continued to recover, the appearance of the chair also changed.

What was once a majestic high-back chair has now become a fusion of coral shells and marine life.

Whether you look at it from close up or from far away, this thing is shockingly ugly.

Amber looked at the unrecognizable golden throne and didn't know what to say. The mental pollution of this Kou Tao fishman was too outrageous.

"Senior Ai Ge, you've been able to hold on for this long and still maintain your true self, that's really amazing!"

Amber Xiu's words were sincere. He underestimated the pollution ability of the Kou Tao fishmen. Ai Ge's willpower was so strong that he could hold on until he arrived. He was worthy of being a senior of the Mourning Poetry Society.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Aren't you affected?" Ai Ge asked curiously.

Ai Ge held on to Amberxiu's hand tightly, and still transmitted a huge power of faith to Amberxiu, but Amberxiu seemed to have no reaction at all.

Does this golden throne also have the effect of filtering the power of faith?

Amber said confidently: "Senior, your willpower is strong, and my wish is pure enough. No matter what form gold takes, it is just gold. The thoughts of the Kuo-Toa fishmen can distort the form of this golden throne, but they cannot change its effect."

Amberxiu was indeed not affected at all. The essence of the Golden Throne was just a spell amplifier. It had no will of its own. At most, it would become a little uglier, but the spellcasting effect was not affected at all.

Seeing that this ugly as shit golden throne was still slowly getting bigger, Amberxiu could only continue to hold Ai Ge's hand and continue to absorb these chaotic beliefs.

Ai Ge just felt relieved. She really tried her best to keep her sanity before. Otherwise, she would either be driven crazy by these chaotic thoughts, or lose control and ascend to a god.

Fortunately, he helped me, otherwise I really couldn’t have done it alone.

Ai Ge looked at the growing golden throne. It had grown from a small stool to a height of one person and was still growing. He couldn't help but ask Amber Xiu, "Is there no limit to the power of faith that your golden throne can absorb?"

Amber Xiu couldn't answer this question, so he could only say, "Anyway, I haven't seen the upper limit, at least I don't feel it now. But we can't just wait like this. Those Kou Tao fishmen don't need to eat or sleep, and we can't be controlled like this forever. We still need to find a way to solve the problem."

The faith of the Kou Tao fishmen is definitely not endless, but it is difficult to stop them in a short time. Amber Xiu is really worth tens of thousands of gold coins per minute now, and he can't always hold Ai Ge's hand here.

"I can only ask other people in the poetry club."

Amber Xiu gave a suggestion, then turned to the dwarf vampire who had been following him and said, "Hey, stop watching the show. Don't you realize that it's inconvenient for the two of us? Ask with the Codex of the Dead."

The Code of the Dead requires one to use one's own magic power to write words on it before it can be sent out. Now Amber Xiu and Ai Ge dare not use magic power casually as it may cause problems, so they can only ask others for help.

The vampire Hecky Stone is now like Ambershu's shadow, following him wherever it is not dangerous. Now he is useful.

Hecky Stone slowly put away the notebook, which had just written "...Having just said goodbye to the unsuspecting Princess Rage, he held the hand of another lady, but Master Ultraman was not embarrassed at all, as if he had done this countless times before."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Herky Stone took out the Code of the Undead and spoke in the group.

[Don't like humans: Friends, we have encountered a problem and need help. Please see the picture for details. 】

With his brilliant writing skills, Heki Stone sketched the scene of Amber Xiu and Ai Ge holding hands with just a few strokes and sent it to the chat group.

Amber Xiu and Ai Ge each held Amber Xiu's Code of the Undead in one hand and looked at the messages in the chat group.

Seeing the lifelike portrait, Amber Xiu was shocked and said, "You have this ability?"

Herky Stone said proudly: "I am a vampire, the most elegant undead. I am not only knowledgeable, but also artistic. I can not only paint, but there is no musical instrument that I can't play."

Amber Xiu said calmly: "When it comes to elegance, we look at the face and figure first, right?"

Hecky Stone glared at Amberxiu fiercely, then drew a stick figure from a different angle and sent it up.

It was still just a few strokes, but a few more were added to outline the look in the two people’s eyes.

But this look seems to be wrong.

The next second, the group chat became lively.

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: What's going on? What's going on?! Brother Tiga, say something, what's going on?!]

[Death Rose: ???]

[Pale Little Skeleton: Humph, all men are the same! ]

Amber Xiu saw that something was wrong and realized that this vampire was spreading obscene rumors!

Isn't this courting death? There was no need for Amber to take action. Ai Ge just turned his head and glanced at Heki Stone. His indifferent and emotionless eyes made the dwarf vampire tremble all over.

"Do you think it's appropriate to joke at this time?"

Ai Ge's tone was calm, but Heki Stone was shocked.

He was too reckless. He only thought about trapping the lich and forgot that Aige was much more terrifying than the lich.

An Boxiu looked at the dwarf scratching his head and laughed in his heart. This dwarf really didn't know what priorities were. Is this the time to joke?

"Misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding." After saying this, Heki Stone immediately explained in the group chat: [The Kou Tao fish goddess used the power of faith to attack Ms. Aige. Now my good brother Ultraman Tiga is helping her filter out that crazy faith and maintain Ms. Aige's sanity. It is inconvenient for both of them to use magic. Friends, don't think wrongly, this is normal treatment! ]

[Apoptosis Rose: Is that so? 】

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: Why did you draw it so ambiguous? The look in his eyes is so blurry! ]

[Pale Little Skeleton: Does this dwarf have any side job? What do you draw? ]

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: Yes, this painting is not serious at first glance! You have ruined my brother's reputation, he will definitely ask you for compensation! ]

Amber reminded, "Heki Stone, tell them that the Kou-Toa people's faith is too great. I'm afraid I can't completely divert it all by myself. Tell them to find a solution quickly."

Heki Stone no longer dared to joke and quickly repeated what Ambershu had said.

But unfortunately, these active group members have no good solution to the problem of the power of faith.

After they discussed for a while, a meaningful reply finally appeared in the group chat.

[Mourner: Ai Ge, have you sensed the will of the God Above Gods? ]

It was the president. The president of the mourning poetry club who usually ignored the group chat finally showed up! Amber was shocked. He never expected that the most mysterious president would show up. If the president took action personally, the matter should be settled.

Heki Stone also understood how critical the situation was, and immediately helped Ai Ge send a reply to the group: [President, Ms. Ai Ge said that she had felt the will of the God of Gods, and this was the test she needed to endure.]

【Mourner: OK, I understand.】

Huh?

That's it?

Amber was wondering what the president meant by "I know". The next second, an old man who was skinny as a skeleton appeared in front of him.

Amberxiu's perception had no idea how he came here, as if he had always been there.

This was the first time that Amber saw this legendary figure in person, and he really wanted to ask him why he placed the Codex of the Dead next to his coffin.

Ai Ge said excitedly: "President, long time no see."

The old man who looked like a skeleton nodded to her and said kindly, "You have finally made it this far. It's much faster than I thought."

The president turned his head and looked at Amber Xiu, then said, "You surprised me. You have made a lot of noise in recent days."

Amber Xiu said a little embarrassedly: "I can't help it. It's not easy to make money these days."

The president just smiled at Amber Xiu and didn't express any opinions. Just like before, he seemed not to care about anything.

The president looked at Ai Ge again, and then said to her: "Since you have sensed the will of the God Above God, you should understand that this is a test for you. The help of others can only give you more time to think. If you can't overcome this test on your own, you will never be recognized by Ai Ou."

Ai Ge's expression changed. She really overlooked this point. When she encountered trouble, she subconsciously wanted to ask Amber for help.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Amber Xiu felt something was wrong. Didn't the president come to help? Amber Xiu asked, "President, the situation is critical now. Can't we find a way to get through this trouble first? As for becoming a god, we just need to follow the routine."

The last time Ai Ge relied on himself, he ended up offending the mermaid goddess Yizhuolo. He could have easily been promoted, but he ended up taking a long detour.

Now that Aige is left to handle it alone, Amberxiu is worried that she will make another mistake and completely lose the chance to become a god.

However, Ai Ge had already let go of Amber's hand.

The shells and barnacles that had mostly disappeared appeared again on her ghost ship, and the faith of the Kuo-Toa fishmen began to erode her body and soul again.

Amber Xiu said excitedly: "Wait, how long can you hold on like this? Hold on to my hand, at least until you can think of a solution!"

If Ai Ge fails, all the costs that Amber Xiu invested before will be lost.

The twisted shells and tentacles began to appear on Ai Ge's face, but her expression was very calm. She said to Amber Xiu: "No need. If I can't figure it out now, I believe Ai Ou will not recognize my efforts. I'm sorry, it may disappoint you, but this is a test I must complete."

"Disappointment... it doesn't matter." Amber said very seriously: "No matter what, you can always hold my hand again!"

"Thanks."

Ai Ge smiled at Amber Xiu, looked at the president, and thanked him in the same way, saying, "Thank you for your guidance back then."

The president nodded and said calmly, "I have seen countless mortals ascend to the throne of God, and I have also seen countless gods fall. There is no clear boundary between the two. Aige, I believe you can do it. As long as you figure out what kind of god you want to be, Aiou will definitely respond."

"What kind of god do you want to be?" Ai Ge muttered to himself, and after a moment he looked up.

Her sight seemed to pass through the sea and look at the boundless starry sky.

“I will inherit my father’s will and sail to any place in the world to see all the magnificent scenery. Nothing can stop me.

Perhaps, this is freedom. If possible, I want to bring true freedom to everyone in the world, so that they can break free from all constraints, break through all obstacles, and never get lost..."

Ai Ge murmured to herself, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "I understand."

Ai Ge's body became more and more twisted, and most of his body was covered by those strange things.

But she did not feel any pain at this time, and the ghost ship began to float rapidly to the surface of the sea.

Then, it broke through the boundary between the ocean and the sky.

The huge ghost ship flew into the air, emitting a brilliant light under the starry sky.

"All of you who believe in me, I share this freedom with you. May you never be bound, may you no longer be controlled by chaos, and may you find your true self!"

Ai Ge's voice became vague and spread like a ballad.

The invisible sound spread out and spread at an incredible speed.

At this moment, the Kou Tao fish people who were controlled by Bribodup and constantly provided Ai Ge with the power of faith heard Ai Ge's voice.

This is the response from the gods they "believe in".

After a while, Amber saw Aige's body gradually returning to its original state. Those strange and distorted things quickly disappeared, and finally completely returned to its original appearance.

Perhaps, there are some differences, but Amberxiu can't explain it clearly.

“Well done!”

Amberxiu couldn't help but praise her, and Aige in turn used the power of faith to convey the oracle to all the Kuo Tao fishmen who believed in her.

Faith is the channel connecting believers and gods. Ai Ge can receive the power of faith and naturally communicate with these Kuo Tao fishmen. However, Ai Ge was busy maintaining his self-awareness and had been resisting the chaotic thoughts of these Kuo Tao fishmen, so he was in a state of passive acceptance.

And at that moment just now, Ai Ge gave up resistance, fully accepted these chaotic thoughts, and sent her "oracle" to every Kou Tao fishman who prayed to her.

This is how the gods communicate with believers. It is the most direct and sacred way of communication.

Ai Ge did not give them any orders, but only told all the Kou Tao fishmen the principles he practiced.

At that moment, they seemed to have really become believers of Ai Ge. The "freedom" bestowed by Ai Ge anchored their chaotic thoughts. These Kou Tao fishmen began to think about what "self" is. This was the revelation given to them by the gods.

And at that moment, the huge power of faith disappeared.

Amberxiu estimated that Bribodup used his racial god power to force these Kouto fishmen to stop praying and ordered them to no longer believe in Aige.

I have to say, this way of playing is really crazy.

Both sides are walking a tightrope. If Aige is overwhelmed by the chaotic thoughts of the Kuo-Toa fishmen before she issues the oracle, she will be doomed and will completely become nourishment for Bribodup.

And if Bribodup fails to cut off the prayers of the Kuo-Toa fishmen to Ai Ge at the last moment, then these Kuo-Toa fishmen will really become Ai Ge's believers and become the biggest helper in her becoming a god.

Now it seems that both sides have not suffered any loss, but in fact, Ai Ge is the winner.

Ai Ge not only clarified the path she was going to follow, but was also one step closer to becoming a god. More importantly, she resolved the crisis on her own and should have been recognized by Ai Ou.

By the time her power is accumulated, there will probably be no obstacles on her path to becoming a god.

Amber Xiu was so happy that he was about to get closer to the president, but when he turned around, he found that the old man had disappeared again without his noticing, just like when he came.

Is it so mysterious?

What a pity, Amber Xiu wanted to chat a little more and ask about the other uses of the artifact ring.

"Thank you."

When Ai Ge's voice came, An Boxiu could only put away the pity in his heart and congratulated her: "Congratulations, you have successfully overcome this crisis. The God of Gods should be very satisfied with your performance, right?"

Ai Ge shook his head and said, "I don't know. I will know everything only when I become a true god. But it doesn't matter anymore. I have chosen my own path and will not waver. I have to thank you for all this."

Amber smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't do anything."

"No, you have been helping me from the beginning. If I had not confirmed the truth about my father's death, I would not have been able to make up my mind to pursue the favor of Aio. Later, it was you who helped me find the mermaid goddess. It was you who gave me new advice after my failure and brought me so many believers to occupy this sea area. It was you who sent me the ring that could condense the kingdom of God. It was you who appeared when I was in the most danger and gave me time to think."

Ai Ge looked at Amber Xiu's face and said very seriously: "I have never gotten along with anyone normally, so I don't know how to thank you. I can only promise that if I can successfully become a god, I will be willing to share half of my power with you. From today on, everything in the Silent Night Pirates belongs to you."

"That's too polite. I don't really understand how pirates operate." Amber said politely.

"Including two newly discovered underwater gold veins." Ai Ge added.

Amber Xiu immediately said sincerely: "Senior, if I don't accept your kindness, I will be giving you no face. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Ai Ge smiled slightly, and under the starry sky, she was so breathtakingly beautiful that even Amber Xiu was stunned for a moment.

Is this the power of the gods? I haven’t fully entered the realm of the gods, but this charm can affect the lich?

Herky Stone, who was watching the whole process, held a pen and carefully watched the scene of the two people standing side by side.

After thinking for a long time, he finally forgot the several thousand words he had compiled in his mind, and honestly wrote a sentence in his notebook: "In the cold winter, I witnessed the birth of a god under the boundless starry sky. But even the glory of the true god cannot cover up his brilliance. The lich Ultraman Tiga, with a mortal body, is on par with the gods."
