Didn't you destroy the reputation I worked so hard to build?
Grand Duke Lin Qi complained and said in embarrassment: "King, I..."
"Duke, I have no choice but to do this." Doug sighed and said, "The news of our founding has not yet spread. Once it spreads, it will definitely cause a war. We have too few soldiers in our country."
It wasn't me who built this country, it was you who built this country?
Grand Duke Lynch continued to complain in his heart.
"So, we urgently need to cultivate a powerful force of our own!" Doug said, "Warriors are used to using martial spirits to increase their strength, and have always ignored other methods. This is also the reason why warriors have not made any progress in the past thousands of years. They are keen on pursuing spirit skills and the improvement of spirit power. In fact, in my opinion, they have gone astray."
"I don't quite understand." Grand Duke Lynch frowned.
"The human body can be strengthened through exercise." Doug stretched out his palm and slammed it hard on the stone table in front of him, and the stone table broke into pieces. "Duke, actually what I said just now was conservative. Not only will bones become stronger after being broken and rebuilt, but muscles will also be stronger. Continuously tearing muscles and letting them heal again will also increase strength.
I've been doing these experiments on myself these days, and that's why the items I'm using keep falling apart.
The improvement of the martial soul on the body is imperceptible, and there is basically no discomfort, but the dual improvement of the martial soul and the body has made my strength grow too fast!"
“……”Lin Qi was stunned.
"After my verification, this method is theoretically feasible." Doug nodded affirmatively, "Moreover, it is not only effective for warriors, but also for magicians. If a magician has a strong body, the speed of releasing magic will increase accordingly."
"Can magicians do that?" asked Grand Duke Lynch.
"I'm not sure, so I need more people to verify it." Doug said, "The Duke is the honorary president of the magic academy. He can find a group of people to conduct experiments, or he can pretend to be casual and spread this research result. I believe that more people who want to become stronger will come to verify this method."
"Okay! I'll do it." Grand Duke Lynch was silent for a moment, nodded and agreed.
Doug smiled and said, "Grand Duke, don't feel so guilty. After all, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Moreover, I will continue to verify it on myself. Only if it succeeds on me will I let you promote it to others.
Bones and muscles are just the first step. Next, I will tear apart the cells that make up the human body, and tear apart the magic power and soul power. In the dark, I have a feeling that if I keep splitting and growing, when I can do this to the extreme, I can gain eternal life and become a true god..."
Grand Duke Lynch looked at Doug, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Doug asked.
"King, what you are about to do is a bit like what the necromancer and those guys who study black magic do." Grand Duke Lin Qi swallowed his saliva, "Necromancer and black magic are absolutely forbidden on the continent."
“No, it’s different.” Doug smiled and shook his head, saying, “That group of people relied on external objects. They pieced together things that didn’t belong to them and sewed them onto themselves. Even though they gained a long life, they turned themselves into monsters that were neither human nor ghost. I’m different. What I pursue is the fission of myself, without the help of any external objects. This is the true way to become a god.”
"Become a god?" Grand Duke Lin Qi had a strange look on his face, and he almost asked, "Aren't you an evil god? How can you become a god?"
"Yes, become a god." Doug looked at Grand Duke Lin Qi and suddenly snapped his fingers. A water curtain appeared out of thin air, covering the two of them. He asked, "Grand Duke, you are well-informed. Throughout history, have gods ever favored strangers other than believers?"
Grand Duke Lynch was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Then have you ever thought about why the Sea God chose me, and I was just a scumbag who had awakened half of my martial soul? Don't tell me that the gods are omniscient and omnipotent, that's just a lie to fools. There were so many people in the prison at that time, he could have had more choices. Besides, the Sea God also has his own believers."
Doug smiled and said, "That night, I just figured out some things under Li En's advice, and I didn't pray at all. But even so, I still awakened the ten-star martial spirit and gained powerful strength."
The Grand Duke looked at Douger and asked, "Why?"
"Duke, I've thought about it and I think I've been involved in a conspiracy, a conspiracy controlled by the gods. That's why I changed my previous way of doing things and established a country in a high-profile manner." Douger looked at Grand Duke Lin Qi and smiled, "Because I know that I am afraid I can't deal with this conspiracy by myself. I need power and more helpers."
"But what does this have to do with becoming a god?" asked Grand Duke Lin Qi.
"How can you fight against gods if you can't become a god?" Doug looked at him with a smile and said lightly.
"You want to deal with the gods?" Grand Duke Lin Qi stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open.
"Yes." Doug waved his hand at him, motioning him to sit down, and continued, "Duke, you are a great mage, and your achievements are almost the same as those of a warrior with a ten-star martial spirit, but you can be easily defeated by me. Who else in this world can stop me? The Pope? Grand Duke of Lucerne?
They can indeed start a war and invade our country, but I can also use decapitation tactics against them. Kill the Pope, kill His Majesty Lucerne, and all wars will be eliminated invisibly. "
“……”Grand Duke Lin Qi was silent.
"Grand Duke, the gods have spokesmen in this world. The Pope is the spokesperson for the Sun God. If I defeat him, I will definitely anger the Sun God." Doug said, "Although I don't know why the Sea God chose me? But in the end, our enemies must be the gods..."
Your enemy! Grand Duke Lin Qi's heart was beating rapidly, his face was pale, and he said to himself, I have never thought of being an enemy of the gods.
"The only way to defeat the gods is to become a god yourself." Doug said, "So, these days, I have been trying my best to improve my strength. Splitting and growing is the way I found to become a god. Duke Lynch, you already know everything behind this. You will help me, right?"
"I..." Grand Duke Lynch looked hesitant. He felt that it was outrageous enough that Holly founded a country and provoked His Majesty Lucerne and the Pope.
He didn't expect that his imaginary enemy turned out to be a god. This inevitably gave him a headache. Even if he was given ten times the courage, he would not dare to be an enemy of a god!
Doug looked at Grand Duke Lynch and suddenly smiled: "Duke, it's normal to be afraid. I never force others to do anything. I just told you my analysis. You can decide what to do."
Grand Duke Lin Qi nodded blankly: "King, let me think about it."
"Okay." Doug shrugged, "But, Duke, there is something I think I should remind you of."
"What's the matter?" asked Grand Duke Lynch.
"It is very likely that there will not be just one special spokesperson like me chosen by the gods." Doug said slowly.
"Holly, is this your guess?" Grand Duke Lynch asked with a look of horror.
"No, it's a mysterious induction." Doug said, "People chosen by the gods will be attracted to each other and will eventually collide with each other, but I don't know what will happen after they meet."
“……” Grand Duke Lin Qi was stunned again.
"Grand Duke, I have told you everything. You can decide whether you want to practice the cultivation method I have figured out or spread it out." Doug said, "But I will give you at most one day to consider it. If you still haven't made a decision after one day, I will replace you with someone else to carry out this plan..."
