Chapter 392 - 364 Laila’s Blessing
Father of the Oak, Sylvanas, also known as the Father of the Forest, Father of Verdancy, God of Wilderness Nature... The name is not important; what’s important is that Sylvanas is a deity with formidable divine power.
All things related to nature could be said to fall within the scope of Sylvanas’s deity position, and the Druids who revere nature naturally worship this deity.
Sylvanas has many allies, such as Goddess Shanteya, Lord of the Dawn Rosanda, and so on, which shows how powerful this deity is. However, despite having many allies, Sylvanas has not established his own deity faction, and it seems taking on a Lesser God might be a first.
"Lady of Mist, what exactly is going on?" Amberser asked curiously.
Laila looked at the statue of Sylvanas and said contemplatively, "I suppose it’s a kind of transaction. After all, my remains were turned into the Dreamweave Barrier by the Druids. Now that I am about to be resurrected, under normal circumstances, the Mist Barrier would disappear, and the Emerald Dream Forest would lose its protection.
"Father of the Oak has made a deal with me; he granted me a portion of his divine power, allowing me to become his Lesser God, and he will protect me from harm by Hircine. In return, I will leave behind my body to continue to sustain the Dreamweave Barrier."
Amberser listened and said surprisingly, "To give up your body and ascend to deity as a pure soul... it would weaken you greatly, and the growth of your divine power would also be incredibly slow."
Deities differ among themselves. Generally speaking, the broader the concept of deity position and the more followers one has, the stronger the divine power. And if these factors are all similar, then it depends on the deity itself.
Take Goddess Tiamat for example, who is a goddess with Weak Divine Power, but her true form is a five-headed dragon, and that racial bonus is significantly high. In a real fight, even the God of Alchemy would not be her match.
By forsaking her body, Laila was effectively discarding this advantage completely. If it were not for Sylvanas sharing his divine power with her, she would not even be able to maintain her deity status.
