Chapter 346 -344-The Path to Becoming a Deity
Bogart, after a moment of contemplation, revealed a shocking statement: "The Supreme Deity became a deity through cultivation, not as an ancient deity."
"What?" Ethan was so startled he almost jumped up.
Bogart nodded slightly, his voice deep and melodic, as he began to recount the tale: "When the Supreme Deity was known as Altorius, he was a dark magus. He was once one of the most powerful magi on the continent but turned to an evil path in his quest for eternal life."
Ethan listened intently, not interrupting. Learning about the growth and rules of a deity was a rare opportunity.
"During an experiment, Altorius accidentally opened a portal to the world of the dead, bringing a multitude of Wraiths into the world of the Supreme Deity. These Wraiths began attacking humans and other creatures, causing a massive disaster. To control these Wraiths, Altorius founded the Wraith Cult and started recruiting followers to help him fulfill this vision."
"As time passed, Altorius gradually gained the power of immortality from the bodies of the Wraiths. He wanted to cultivate into a god. Two paths lay before him: the first was to comprehend the Law himself and become a deity; the second was to absorb the Power of Faith and use it to understand the Law and become a deity."
Ethan’s eyes lit up slightly. Unknowingly, two paths to becoming a deity had emerged. This gave Ethan some inspiration.
Bogart, unaware of what Ethan was thinking, continued reminiscing about that period: "However, Altorius soon discovered that using the Power of Faith to understand the Law and become a deity was not very powerful, or it meant being bound by something."
Ethan nodded slightly, pondering in his mind: "Faith Deities are naturally powerful, but becoming a deity through the Power of Faith makes one a servant to it. Aneropo, as an ancient deity, became so weak without the Power of Faith, to the extent that even I, a mere human, could overpower him."
Bogart continued: "Naturally, Altorius chose to comprehend the Law on his own and ultimately became a god. And the Wraith Cult has continued to provide him with an abundance of the Power of Faith."
Ethan, driven by curiosity, asked: "Does that mean Altorius researched the Rune of Law and also absorbed the Power of Faith? So, is Altorius a deity of both forces?"
