Green Monster Epic

Chapter 1172 Hidden Dangers

After reminding, or rather, cautioning the drow matriarch and her group who were secretly observing, Allen found a secluded and uninhabited valley to stop. He casually cleared a clean and hidden spot and sat down cross-legged to begin self-examination.

This confrontation with the two elven saints was actually a kind of probing by Allen to see where the bottom line of these potential rules dominated by the temple forces lay, so that he could easily operate in the future.

Of course, there was also Allen's itch to do something.

After all, with millions of soldiers on the ground fighting bravely, Allen always felt a little sorry for the fallen northern warriors if he, as the leader, didn't make some contribution and effort.

Since completely mastering the use of the dual-mind legendary feat, Allen had been trying to prolong the independent existence of his divine consciousness, and now he had been able to overcome the aftereffects and discomfort caused by splitting his mental power in two, and had been maintaining the existence of his divine consciousness.

The reason for maintaining the independence of his divine consciousness was that Allen needed a sufficiently rational and tireless 'him' to help analyze the seed of faith, which was inextricably linked to his path to godhood, and to decipher the complex and mysterious patterns on the seed of faith.

At the same time, Allen also needed 'him' to receive the mental resonance images generated by the prayers of various believers, which were becoming larger in number and more complex in desires and pursuits, and to process and digest the various useful and useless information contained therein.

The gradually improving Food God Church needed a divine consciousness that could respond at any time, or at least be able to respond within a certain agreed period of time, to give believers divine revelations, divine grace to clergy members, and so on.

If Allen had to do all these things himself, then he wouldn't have to do anything else, and the whole person would be bound by these things.

And the most important point was that having the divine consciousness deal with the emotions mixed with the self-desires and fantasies of many believers could reduce the impact of these harmful emotions on Allen's main body, thereby causing significant changes in his character.

Through information about the gods collected from the Eternal Truth Council, the dragon Figolas, and other channels, as well as his own feelings in exploring the path over the years, Allen could clearly feel the risks on his current path.

Gods are at the top of the pyramid of thousands of planes. They seem to be high above, powerful and unmatched, revered and worshiped by countless creatures, but the more Allen knows about the inside story, the more he feels that gods are somewhat pitiful or even sad to a certain extent.

The source of a god's power comes from believers, so he needs to become the guardian of the believers, demonstrating miracles in front of the believers to prove his existence and power. In essence, it is no different from a clown performing a show in front of an audience.

At the same time, because the power of faith itself is nurtured in the spiritual world of believers, it naturally carries the believers' beautiful fantasies about the gods, and this fantasy is not limited to powerful strength and majestic appearance, but also includes the god's personality, abilities, and so on.

Whenever a god absorbs the power of faith to enhance and strengthen himself, the spirit carried on these powers of faith will become invisible shackles, or molds, slowly shaping the god into the most suitable image in the minds of the general public.

For example, the goddess of grain and fertility should be kind, benevolent, and loving. Her image should be a plump female with an ordinary face and a kind smile. Another example is the god of nature, Ouhei. Since absorbing most of the authority and believers of the Father of the Oak, his idol has also undergone subtle changes in these years. Obviously, his body has changed because the newly joined believers have incorporated the characteristics belonging to the Father of the Oak into their fantasies about Ouhei.

In the process of constantly using divine power, Allen also clearly felt that he had undergone considerable changes in his temperament, becoming more and more difficult to experience emotional fluctuations, and difficult to generate passion for anything.

His originally ordinary appearance gradually became angular. Although it was not very handsome, it was a great improvement compared to his initial appearance. He seemed a little thin among the bear goblins, more in line with the physique of elves and trolls. Unconsciously, his muscles filled up, changing towards the stout physique common among bear goblins.

Allen was very afraid that as he got closer and closer to the throne of God, he would become himself unlike himself, becoming the appearance and personality fantasized by millions of believers.

If that were the case, what would he be?

However, there is no turning back once the bow is drawn. Since he has already chosen this path and has already invested too many resources and talents for it, and has won over countless believers, he can only continue to walk down. Otherwise, only destruction awaits him and the Greenwood tribe in the future.

In order to solve this problem, Allen has been thinking and trying various methods, and finally found that the existence of divine consciousness can offset most of the influence of miscellaneous thoughts from believers, slowing down his transformation, and giving him time to slowly correct it.

The divine consciousness that was originally stripped out was Allen's absolutely rational side, and there was no moment of emotional fluctuation at all. Therefore, even if there are more miscellaneous thoughts carried by the divine consciousness, it will not cause much waves.

As for the changes in his own form, Allen was able to accept it calmly.

However, doing so has a problem, that is, Allen cannot easily lift the state of dual-mindedness, and needs to let the divine consciousness always exist independently outside the main body to carry these forces harmful to Allen, until the power carried reaches the limit of the divine consciousness, or Allen's main body is fully prepared to differentiate and eliminate these forces.

This time, in order to reduce the casualties of the northern soldiers, and also to verify the phased results of the divine consciousness, Allen took the initiative to integrate the divine consciousness to advance the divine realm and cooperate with the casting of divine magic. The results were naturally gratifying. After the domain evolved into the divine realm, it possessed a part of the effects related to the authority of the gods. Superimposed with the divine magic cast by a certain complex pattern intercepted from the seed of faith, there was the fact that the 'War Feast' made its debut.

War Feast - The war aura that occurs within the scope of the divine realm, the energy of the flesh that is falling into death, the fighting spirit and magic power dissipated by warriors and spellcasters in battle, will all be cooked into invisible magic dishes by the divine realm, and will be blessed on the members of the camp controlled by the divine realm.

The effect of the magic dishes is no weaker than the blessing effect of a saint-level divine magic caster, and it will vary depending on the energy attributes of the cooking, with an unknown duration.

Successful attempts also come at a price. Allen accepted the results and experience of the divine consciousness's research during this period, and also had to bear the impact of the vast thoughts of the believers carried by the divine consciousness.

If he cannot digest and resolve these harmful thoughts as soon as possible, but is assimilated by these thoughts, then Allen will truly evolve towards the gods expected by many believers, and is very likely to lose his own value and existence, and be enslaved by believers as a puppet.
