In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 60 Conferred Godhood!

"God does not exist."

"Therefore, if you want to 'invite the gods,' you must first create the gods!"

"Invoking gods is not actually something that my Huo family possesses. It is widely practiced throughout the Federation, and its methods are passed down in many regions. It's not some extraordinary secret."

"The true core is 'divine power'."

It was rare for Huo Shan to say so much at once.

The art of summoning spirits is indeed widely practiced in the Federation.

Otherwise, if it were a secret of the Huo family, he would never reveal it, even if his life were in danger.

Even so, Xie Lingxin knew that the value of this divine summoning technique was definitely not low.

I'll definitely owe them a huge favor.

“The method of cultivating ‘divine power’ is the one that is truly regarded as a secret treasure by various schools.”

"Because of 'divine power,' one can 'create gods,' and only after creating gods can one invite them!"

“If you hadn’t already mastered Yin Lightning, even if I told you the method, it would have been completely useless.”

Xie Lingxin found it all miraculous.

Is this how you invite gods?
Do we have to create our own gods?

Huo Shan continued, "In ancient times, there was another way to describe the creation of gods, called 'Investiture of the Gods'!"

"The most common method, and the one most frequently used by ancient cultivators, was to request a title from the emperor of the mortal realm."

"The emperors of ancient times possessed the essence of humanity and destiny; in modern terms, they were the greatest nexus of the collective consciousness of humankind."

“Every move he makes can cause dramatic changes in the spiritual world.”

"An imperial edict from the emperor often possesses incredible power."

“For cultivators with profound spiritual cultivation, even with just an imperial decree, becoming an immortal on the spot might not be possible, but it's not far off. What is a mere title of godhood?”

"This is why in ancient times, many true cultivators would rather give up their tranquility and freedom to enter the mortal world, be immersed in the furnace, and serve the emperor, all in order to obtain an imperial decree and fulfill their path to immortality."

"But in today's Federation, where is there any emperor? Although the Federation is far stronger than in ancient times, the will of the Federation is no longer the will of an individual. It is an unprecedented torrent of humanity that no one can manipulate."

Even though Xie Lingxin knew there must be other ways, she couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we do?"

Huo Shan said, "The path of cultivation, whether it leads to immortality or godhood, is no secret to the Federation today."

"The conferment of titles and the pursuit of divine titles are, in essence, still the application of spiritual power and the creation of the spiritual world,"

"If one's spiritual cultivation is profound enough, a single thought can confer the title of a deity,"

"Of course, with this level of cultivation, one would probably become an immortal."

"To achieve this, we must seek it externally."

He patted the spirit pot at his waist: "Do you know what spiritual essence is?"

Before he could answer, she said, "It is the purest thought, the purest spiritual power."

"If we say that in the material world, the essence that constitutes matter is the atom."

"Then in the spiritual world, the essence of all things is spiritual matter."

“Our spiritual cultivation is far from sufficient to create a true deity, but we can use spiritual essence to visualize the image of a deity, allowing it to temporarily possess ‘divinity’ and ‘manifest its power’ in our spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.”

I see……

Xie Lingxin knew that the spiritual world was magical and the origin of all the extraordinary things in the Federation today.

Little did I know they could do something so outrageous.

So this is what they mean by "inviting the gods"?
He felt that his worldview was being reshaped again.

Huo Shan said, "Although it is a divine image that one contemplates, one cannot arbitrarily create a divine being. Without sufficient conscious imagery, one cannot truly create a useful divine being."

"The more it defies common sense and logic, the harder it is to succeed. If you create something out of thin air, it's tantamount to shattering and rebuilding your own worldview. Not only will it be time-consuming and laborious, but you also won't achieve your goal and may even suffer a backlash."

"Conversely, the more mature a person's image, the easier it is for them to succeed."

"Therefore, the best approach is to first choose a legendary deity that already exists, and this deity must be related to your Yin Thunder."

so?

What other good options are there?
It's Lei Zu, of course!
Not to mention how familiar I was with him in my past life, there's a statue of Lei Zu in the Environmental Protection Bureau that I see every day when I come and go.

Even his own consciousness resembled Lei Zu!
Xie Lingxin smiled.

Seeing this, Huo Shan knew that he had made his choice, so he didn't ask any more questions and continued, "It seems that you have made your choice. Now I will teach you the specific tricks. Listen carefully..."

"When we meditate, our minds should be calm and our thoughts should be righteous."

"When contemplating deities, one must also add 'sincerity'!"

“I say there are no gods in the world, but that doesn’t mean we should not believe in or respect gods.”

"In short, if you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't!"

"As the saying goes, sincerity brings results!"

"Rever the gods as if they were present!"

"If you do not believe in God, God has no origin."

"If you do not respect the gods, they will lose their authority!" "The first step is to be sincere in your heart!"

"With sincere devotion, contemplate the true form of the deity,"

"With a sincere heart, we worship the gods."

"Where there is sincerity, the divine will appear!"

"Remember, before you visualize deities, you must first establish faith!"

What is belief?

"It is an unwavering conviction and an indomitable belief!"

"Only with such a belief can that spark of inspiration be ignited in the heart, and that spark of inspiration is 'divine'!"

"As long as the spirit endures, the spirit will be immortal; this is the root of the spirit's indestructibility!"

"Secondly, one must transform one's sincerity toward the gods into one's own instinct and nature in order to align with the will of the gods!"

"The specific approach is to first establish an anchor point, a concrete representation of your belief. This could be a single word, a phrase, or a sentence,"

"But it must be targeted and purposeful, not baseless, just like the incantation I recite every time I use the Evil-Repelling Golden Knife,"

"A three-foot-long golden sword hangs above my head; its blade leaves no trace, its cool light slaying all demons and monsters!"

"This incantation originally had no divine power, but it is the mission and family precept passed down through generations of my Huo family. It has long since become the undying belief of every member of my Huo family!"

"Every member of the Huo family believes that reciting this incantation once will grant one divine power to ward off evil and break through demons, making one invincible!"

“If it is not a righteous principle that you firmly believe in, it is difficult for it to become your belief, and it is impossible to resonate with the ‘divine way’ of the gods, so naturally you cannot unify your will with the gods!”

Even if you successfully visualize the deity, you cannot summon it!

"The final step is spiritual essence and legendary power!"

"Only spiritual essence and legendary power can truly manifest divine power and be controlled at will!"

"However, within the domain, there is no need for legendary power to break through the limits. You can consider it after you leave the domain. For now, spiritual matter is sufficient."

"..."

Huo Shan explained it in great detail, without holding anything back.

Cui Hong and the others went to the side to wait.

It's not that I'm avoiding anything; the method of invoking the gods is no secret in the Federation, and anyone can learn it by paying money.

But they are not on this path, so listening to them is useless and will only disturb their minds and thoughts.

Moreover, this method is too wasteful. There is never enough spiritual energy for cultivation. Unless there is no other choice, who would want to waste it so often?
This is just one of the biggest drawbacks.

Most people felt it wasn't worth it, so not many people practiced this method.

I decided to stay away and not disturb them.

"How long do you think it will take Xiaoxin to learn?"

Liu Sanxian was feeling rather bored, and with a sudden urge to find something to amuse himself, he decided to look for some fun.

Cui Hongdao said, "The art of summoning spirits is an extremely unorthodox and extreme method in spiritual cultivation, and very few people practice it."

"But its difficulty ranks among the highest of all visualization methods,"

"It's not easy to learn."

"If he didn't have such high talent, he might have been able to learn it in a short time. If it were someone else, Huo Shan probably wouldn't even mention it."

"But no matter how talented he is, it will still take him a few days... well, a few hours, right?"

He himself was very uncertain, changing his estimated time again and again, and finally even saying it was only a few hours was not quite certain.

Liu Sanxian said, "Let's make a bet!"

Zhu Wenjie asked curiously, "What kind of bet?"

"Let's bet..."

Before Liu Sanxian could finish speaking, Cui Hong said blankly, "I think you don't need to make any bets anymore..."

Liu and Zhu followed the gaze and were immediately stunned.

Xie Lingxin was currently several feet off the ground, suspended in mid-air.

His body was surrounded by dark blue-black lightning, crackling and popping.

Lightning flashed, and the surrounding banyan forest flickered on and off.

What shocked them most was that Xie Lingxin had completely changed her appearance.

He was dressed in dark blue and green lightning-patterned scale armor, with strange beasts swallowing lightning on his left and right shoulders.

Wearing a five-thunder jade crown, a red cloud-patterned sash, and a Bagua heart-protecting mirror on his chest, all covered with mysterious runes.

His body was enveloped in thunder, unlike anything in the mortal world, as if he were a thunder god from the heavens, with boundless power and might!
Everyone, including Huo Shan, who taught the method, stared wide-eyed.

This scene is hard to understand!
It can even transform?!

how so? !

Is this still his summoning ritual?!
