Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

(Due to an upload error, the actual plot of this chapter should follow Chapter 589. It is recommended to read Chapter 589 first, and then refer to this chapter.)
Mythology is a ritual. While the gods acquire names and myths, they cannot overstep their bounds. Whether they bestow favors upon humanity or retaliate against humankind, they will not exceed the scope of their duties.

Humans cannot change the gods, but they can change mythology, thereby indirectly influencing the gods. (Continued from Chapter 589.)
As people spread myths and epics, the image, divine status, and powers of the gods will change in order to conform as closely as possible to the myths and legends.

Over the long course of time, a naturally born spirit often transforms its identity and acquires various identities as time changes.

Often, several gods are actually the same god.

Having acquired two powers, Chen Hong was still not satisfied. Before the ritual of usurping the ring was completely over, he quickly tried to peek into the essence of the gods—their divine nature.

Chen Hong's immortal primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness was running wildly, analyzing the two gods in front of him.

What he saw was the essence of a god—the divine personality.

Unlike the deities that Chen Hong created himself in other worlds, most of them are products of the condensation and sublimation of cultivators' souls and the world rules and laws they comprehend.

The divinity in the world of Godslayer is a completely different thing.

What Chen Hong saw... was a world.

Chaotic and indistinct, mysterious and mysterious, bizarre and fantastical.

It was a world that clearly had boundaries but could not be touched. It seemed to contain everything, yet it also seemed to have nothing. It contained both the greatness of divine power and the infinite possibilities of human thought.

The powers of humans and gods are intertwined in this world, appearing closer and more intimate than ever before, making the boundaries between reality and illusion difficult to touch and distinguish.

In the pantheon of Veleslana, one can see all his mythological stories: the invincible war god of Persia, the guardian who served Mithra, the ancient Armenian god of war Vram, the Buddhist guardian deity Wshn, the Kushan god Orlagno and the Parthian god Wryhrm, the Hindu god Vishnu, the Manichaean god Adamas, the Babylonian god Nergal, the ancient Egyptian god Horus, and the Greek god Hercules, among other heroic gods and legends.

Each deity seems to be disguised.

From numerous myths and beliefs, the divine has extracted the most essential concept—victory!
Various powers, like threads of law, are woven within the divine personality around the central concept of victory.

Myths and legends, and human beliefs, endowed the originally blank divine personality with power, but as a result, the divine personality was bound by myths and legends.

Once human belief in mythology shifts, divine authority will also be drawn along.

For example, after the once revered Earth Mother Goddess was degraded in myths and legends, her divine status and powers were also downgraded to conform to the current mainstream myths and legends.

Gods are immortal; even if the body, life, and even the soul perish, the gods are still immortal.

Because as long as the divine essence remains, it can be liberated from the realm of immortality, gaining a soul and a physical body, and once again becoming a great spiritual being—becoming a god.

Therefore, the divine essence is the absolute core of a deity, containing not only its origin but also encompassing all its mythological legends and all its powers.

Look beyond the surface.

Peeling back the threads of faith and power, Chen Hong discovered the original essence of divinity, which was their origin as innate spirits. It was a chaotic and uncertain world where reality and illusion intertwined, and existence and non-existence changed. It was their proof and identity card as innate beings born of heaven and earth, and also their origin.

World Godhead!

Chen Hong observed this interesting phenomenon and saw its enormous potential.

This characteristic of the world is like the origin that split off from the world, possessing infinite possibilities, but not yet having power.

Through the framework of mythology and belief, various concepts were gathered, powers were evolved, and the origin was fixed as divinity.

Therefore, most gods are actually of similar strength, but they have different powers, different divine duties, and varying levels of practical combat ability, thus resulting in differences in strength and status within the mythology. Consequently, the gods' adherence to the mythology varies.

Once a god deviates from the myth, he will fall from the divine realm, break away from the myth, and become a disobedient god on earth, to be hunted down by god-slayers.

Therefore, the god-killer is a corrective mechanism that emerged to maintain mythology and human reason.
As for the Last King who kills the god-killers, he is another error-correcting mechanism that regularly cleans up the god-killers to prevent them from becoming too numerous and wreaking havoc on humanity, thus maintaining the overall interests of the gods.
OK, everything is OK.

This short period of research allowed Chen Hong to glimpse some of the operating secrets of the Godslayer world.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time.

Seemingly sensing that someone dared to covet the fundamental secrets of the gods, the two deities who had been dormant after being killed suddenly began to awaken.

"Who?" "Who dares to covet the divine status of the gods?"

"This is a grave sin!"

"None of the gods can forgive it."

"I will surely condemn your soul to hell..."

When the phantoms of the war god Veleslana and the god king Mercator opened their eyes and saw that it was Chen Hong, they swallowed their words.

There's no way around it, this guy is just too fierce.

While they were alive, they were all brutally beaten to death by the enemy.

Now that they're all dead, and one of their powers has been usurped, what... what's the point of fighting?

Without the slightest hesitation, just as the ritual of usurping the ring was completed, freed from the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth, the two gods swiftly communicated with the divine realm and fled in a flash, disappearing without a trace and returning to mythology.

With the protection of heaven and earth and the divine realm as their backing, these two guys are returning to mythology at an incredibly fast pace.

Chen Hong didn't care. Anyway, there were plenty of gods. He could still figure out the divine nature by killing a few more disobedient gods.

At this point, the progress of the deity research is 30%.

Chen Hong is now very interested in this kind of world godhood, believing that it has the potential to obtain all powers, complete all world laws, and evolve a complete world that exists between reality and illusion.

It is even possible to develop a path to godhood and evolution with the world's divine essence as the core.

Chen Hong looked at Pandora, who was standing to the side with a proud expression; the ceremony was over.

The progress of the analysis of the usurped ring is 30%.

A repulsive force emanated from the Netherworld.

"The time is coming."

"Good boy, Mom is so proud of you."

If you encounter a Steel Hero God, don't be afraid, just fight! If you can seize their godhood and make them completely annihilate you, making you a god yourself, that would be even better.

When you become a god, you can stay with your mother forever.

But be careful, the gods are powerful and not easy to deal with.

Seeing Pandora's proud yet worried expression, Chen Hong felt a little strange, but still nodded.

"understood."

Following the repulsive force, Chen Hong left the Netherworld and returned to the mortal realm.

It landed on the sea surface where Sardinia had sunk.

Looking around, he spotted Erica waiting on the mainland shore.

He took a step forward and stood in front of Erica.

Upon Chen Hong's arrival, Erica immediately and respectfully performed a standard knightly salute, welcoming him in a reverent, chanting tone:

"Great King!"

"Congratulations on accomplishing the miraculous feat of slaying a god!"

"Erica is here, on behalf of the Italian Seven Sisters, to welcome your return."

We, the Red Bronze Black Cross, would have the honor of welcoming you and hosting you in Italy. We will be responsible for all your service duties there. (End of Chapter)
