The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 389 The Road to Godhood
David stood on the ruins of the Holy White City, surrounded by broken walls and the air was filled with the dust of history and unsolved mysteries.

The moonlight was as bright as water, shining through the broken stained glass, casting colorful and eerie light and shadows onto the ruins, adding a touch of surrealism to this dead place.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to feel the remaining energy fluctuations of this holy city.

As the heir to the divine heritage, he is able to sense the subtle flow of energy in his surroundings.

The Holy White City, a complex of buildings that once carried the faith of countless people, contains an energy so complex that it is beyond imagination.

"Reconstructing the holy city is not only about repairing the physical damage, but also about unlocking the secrets behind it." David thought to himself. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze firm and deep.

He began to move deeper and deeper from the edge of the ruins, taking every step carefully, for fear of missing any possible clues.

The collapsed spire was like a huge wound, tearing the originally magnificent dome murals. Although the murals were in ruins, it was still vaguely recognizable that they depicted stories about light and salvation.

David gazed at the murals, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"These murals are not just decorations, but also a tool for the church to spread its faith."

He whispered to himself while carefully recording the details of each mural with the recording equipment he carried with him.

As the exploration deepened, David discovered some more hidden passages and secret rooms.

These passages were hidden in the shadows of the ruins. If it weren't for his keen perception of energy fluctuations, it would have been difficult to detect their existence.

He walked along a winding passage and finally came to a spacious underground chamber.

Various ancient documents and relics are placed in the secret room. It is obvious that this is where the church’s top leaders conduct research and make decisions.

David searched the secret room carefully and finally found a seemingly ordinary diary among a pile of dusty books.

But the moment he opened the diary, he realized that this might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the White City.

The diary records in detail the original intention of the first pope to establish the church, the power struggle within the church, and the taboo experiments on becoming a god.

As he read further, David gradually pieced together the outline of the whole story.

The first Pope did have the ambition to become a god. He used the power of the church to collect faiths and perform various mysterious rituals in an attempt to break through human limits and become a true god.

"I see..." David closed the diary, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

He realized that he not only had to face the remnants of the church, but also the dark secrets hidden behind the faith.

He decided to bring the diary back as important evidence to reveal the truth about the church.

At the same time, he also began to plan how to rebuild the Holy White City - not only to repair its physical form, but also to eliminate the shadows that distorted faith.

Let this holy city once again become a symbol of light and hope.

In the following days, David led a team of engineers, scholars, and practitioners to begin the arduous reconstruction work.

They cleared the ruins, restored the buildings, and rebuilt the dome murals.

At the same time, new educational institutions were established in the city to spread true faith and knowledge, helping people break free from the shackles of the past and embrace a new future.

David, on the other hand, continued to explore and learn in the process, analyzing the secrets of the gods.

He knew that rebuilding the holy city was just the beginning and the real challenge was yet to come.

In the process of reconstructing the White City, David gradually uncovered the secrets hidden behind the "holy light".

The diary in his hand was like a key, opening the door to an unknown world.

As his research progressed, he was shocked to discover that the seemingly sacred and inviolable holy light was actually a highly sophisticated consciousness encoding tool.

This holy light energy, through subtle frequency fluctuations, can resonate with the target individual's neurons, thereby rewriting their cognitive structure unconsciously.

It is like an invisible language that directly affects people's consciousness and shapes their beliefs, concepts and even behavior patterns.

David realized that this was the core method used by the first pope to control believers and consolidate power.

"Holy Light does not exist naturally, but is a product of man-made creation." David wrote this sentence on a blank page of his diary, his heart filled with shock.

He began to try to analyze the coding patterns of this holy light energy, hoping to find a way to control or even counter it.

After countless days and nights of hard work, David and Lucia finally mastered some of the mysteries of the Holy Light Code.

He discovered that through specific frequencies and patterns, he could simulate the effects of holy light and even influence the consciousness of others to a certain extent.

But this is not his ultimate goal.

David knew that the real challenge was how to reveal the true nature of the Holy Light and awaken the world from the dream of being manipulated.

So he began to spread his discovery in secret, telling the truth to those who would listen through hidden channels.

He tells the truth behind the Holy Light and how it is used to manipulate people's minds.

At first, many people were skeptical, and some even accused him of blasphemy.

But as time went on, more and more evidence surfaced, and people began to realize that what David said was true.

David became a leader in this cognitive revolution.

He used his understanding of the Light's codes to develop a device that could resist the Light's influence.

This device can interfere with the frequency fluctuations of the Holy Light and protect the wearer's consciousness from being violated.

It became a talisman for those who pursued free will. As the truth gradually became popular, the Holy White City and even the entire church system underwent earth-shaking changes.

People began to re-examine their beliefs and concepts and no longer blindly followed the so-called "sacred" light.

The power struggle within the church has intensified, and those forces that once relied on holy light to maintain their rule feel unprecedented threats.

In this torrent of change, David always sticks to his beliefs.

He believed that true holy light should come from inner brightness and the pursuit of truth, rather than external manipulation and constraints.

He will continue to work to reveal more mysteries about consciousness and energy, and guide people towards a more free, equal and real world.

The resonance dome, an invisible force field device covering the entire holy city, is like an invisible net, silently connecting the hearts of every believer with the core of the cathedral underground.

At its core, a device interwoven with ancient technology and mysterious runes, lies quietly in the deepest part of the church, like the beating heart of the city.

Whenever night falls and everything is silent, the prayers of believers echo in the holy city.

These voices, carrying their own emotions and wishes, converge into an invisible force and flow to the core under the cathedral.

There, the core device of the resonance dome begins to operate, transforming the prayers of the believers into quantum resonance waves, a form of energy that transcends physical boundaries.

These quantum resonant waves, under the influence of the resonance dome, not only strengthen the spiritual connection between believers, but also subtly affect every corner of the holy city.

They moistened every inch of the city like drizzle, filling the holy city with peace and tranquility. People found that under the protection of the resonance dome, diseases seemed to decrease, conflicts subsided, and the holy city became a real safe haven.

However, the existence of the Resonance Dome was not unknown.

Some scholars with deep knowledge of ancient technology and those who questioned the power of the church began to secretly investigate this mysterious phenomenon.

They gradually uncovered the secrets behind the Resonance Dome and how it was used by the Church to consolidate its faith and control its believers.

As the truth gradually surfaced, a force of resistance began to emerge in the holy city.

They are dissatisfied with being bound by invisible force fields and are eager to explore the boundaries of freedom and truth.

Some people even began to try to destroy the core device of the resonance dome in order to break the control of the church.

Faced with such challenges, divisions emerged within the church.

Some senior officials realized the possible negative impact of the resonance dome and began to seek reform and compromise.

Others insist on maintaining the status quo and protecting at all costs an apparatus they see as the cornerstone of their power.

In this clash between faith and technology, the future of the holy city hangs in the balance.

The Resonance Dome, an invisible force field device that once brought peace and tranquility, has now become a focal point for conflict and change.

It makes people begin to re-examine their beliefs and pursuits, and think about how human beings should deal with themselves in the face of the power of science and technology.

As a witness and participant of this change, David is fully aware of the heavy responsibility he shoulders.

Not only does he have to continue exploring the secrets of the resonance dome, but he also has to guide people towards a more rational, free and harmonious world.

In this unknown journey, he firmly believes that truth and light will eventually illuminate the way forward.

Finally, there is the Transmaturation Ceremony, which is the church's secret eight-fold soul tempering method and has always been regarded as the only way to immortality and transcendence.

This ancient and mysterious ritual is actually a process of gradually replacing the human body's bioelectricity, ultimately reversing the materialization process and transforming into energy-state life.

In the first stage of the Transmigration Ceremony, the practitioner will be guided into a deep state of meditation, and through specific breathing methods and mental mantras, begin to awaken the dormant soul power.

During this stage, practitioners are able to sense their subtle connection with the world around them, and subtle changes in bioelectric activity begin to occur.

As the ceremony progresses and enters the second level, believers need to receive energy infusion from nature at a specific time and place.

These energies may be sunlight, moonlight, starlight or the pulse of the earth. They resonate with the practitioner's bioelectricity and further activate the potential of the soul.

The third level is the beginning of pain and trial.

Practitioners need to temper their will and soul through a series of physical and mental challenges.

These challenges may involve extreme physical training, long periods of fasting, or facing your inner fears and desires.

During this process, the practitioner's bioelectricity begins to change significantly, gradually breaking free from the constraints of the physical body.

At the fourth level, practitioners begin to learn to control and guide their own bioelectricity.

Through complex rituals and spells, they are able to condense bioelectricity into specific forms for use in defense or attack.

At this stage, practitioners have already begun to master the power of the soul.

The fifth level is the key turning point in the ritual of transformation from mortal to ordinary.

During this stage, the practitioner's bioelectricity begins to resonate deeply with the surrounding energy field, forming a unique energy cycle.

This cycle not only enhances the practitioner's power, but also makes the connection between their soul and body more subtle.

Entering the sixth level, practitioners begin to try to separate their consciousness from bioelectricity.

Through long periods of meditation and practice, they are able to allow bioelectricity to flow freely outside the body while maintaining consciousness.

Practitioners at this stage already possess preliminary energy-state life characteristics.

The seventh level is the climax of the ritual of transformation from mortal to ordinary.

During this stage, practitioners need to undergo a baptism of the soul and completely break free from the constraints of the flesh.

Their bioelectricity is completely materialized in this process and converted into a higher-dimensional energy form.

The practitioner's consciousness merges with this energy form and becomes a true energy-state life.

Finally, at the eighth level, the practitioner will complete the entire process of the ritual of transformation from mortal to ordinary.

They are no longer bound by the shackles of the flesh and can exist in the world as pure energy.

Life forms in this form possess unimaginable power and intelligence, able to sense and influence the delicate balance of the universe.

However, the ritual of transformation is not without cost. It requires practitioners to give up the enjoyment and desires of the flesh and endure great pain and trials.

At the same time, once transformed into an energy-state life, the practitioner can no longer return to the material world.

Therefore, this ritual is only suitable for those souls who truly seek immortality and transcendence.

To do this, a network of anchor points must be established.

This matrix of twelve magnificent confessional towers is not only the spiritual pillar of the church, but also a bridge connecting the material world and the mystical realm.

Each confession tower is like a towering monument, standing in a hidden corner of the world. They not only witness the piety and repentance of countless believers, but also carry awe-inspiring power.

These consciousness maps are the crystallization of the purest faith and desire in the depths of believers' souls.

They are carefully collected, organized and stored in the Confession Tower, and through complex and mysterious rituals, they are integrated with the energy structure of the tower, forming a stable existence beyond the material level.

These maps are intertwined and influence each other, forming a huge network of consciousness, providing an indestructible divine foundation for the anchor network.

The existence of the anchor network enables the church to transcend the limitations of time and space and communicate with beings in higher dimensions.

It is not only the source of the church's strength, but also a beacon for believers to seek salvation and guidance.

Whenever the church faces a crisis or needs to carry out an important mission, the Anchor Point Network plays an invaluable role.

However, building and maintaining an anchor network is not easy.

It requires the church to invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it also requires priests with great wisdom and firm faith to perform continuous prayers and rituals.

Only in this way can we ensure the stability and strength of the anchor network and provide eternal shelter and guidance for believers.

Self-awareness, connection to all things, conservation of karma, anchoring with all beings, and shedding the human form.

This is the path to becoming a god researched by the first Pope, and it is almost the same as the path to becoming a god for mortals that David obtained from the God of Silver Moon.
