CHAPTER 1837: CHAPTER 878: PLAYING IT SAFE ISN’T SHAMEFUL (PART 3)

"No waste, it’s a trivial matter."

"Commander, please don’t be in a rush to refuse, this might be a new attempt, we want to see if the two idols in reality and the dream world will correspond with each other, deepening the connection between dream and reality, which might indeed be a form of Path."

"Exactly, the hardest part of this dream railcar is not the passage within the dream, but the conversion between reality and dream. Only when the two are connected will this plan be complete."

The Haslan witches now turned to persuade Gaven, explaining their idea.

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you two." The reason given left Gaven without room for refusal.

"Rise!"

Under the manipulation of the Sunrise Witch, the Earth Totem Tree began to gather earth elements in the dream world.

Meanwhile, the tower of the Earth Spirit Witch began to coalesce earth elements in reality.

In an invisible way, as though two 3D printers were continuously scanning and printing, the stone statues belonging to Gaven began to rise from foot to head simultaneously in Mosantiel City, both in reality and in the dream world.

What these Haslan witches demonstrated was not merely terrifying earth element manipulation, but also an extraordinary carving skill, surpassing even the stone giant sculptor in Colossus City.

After all, Domingo could make adjustments during his carving process.

But the two witches molded the figures in one go, although they could have modified it with their earth element manipulation capabilities, clearly, they didn’t need to.

The two statues not only stood in identical positions in Mosantiel City, but their appearance and progress were also identical, as if they were replicas from the same mold, leading one to suspect it was the same statue existing on different planes.

With the two stone statues only half completed, Gaven couldn’t help but feel a stab of apprehension. Without even imbuing them with Road Force, a mysterious connection had already been established between him and these two statues.

No.

They are not statues anymore; they have already become Road Idols in essence.

During their formation, a vast Road Force had already begun to burgeon within them, augmenting Gaven’s Road Divinity out of thin air.

This directly increased the quantity of Road Divinity within his body to ten points, and an uncontrollable impulse enveloped his soul—he wanted to integrate the Road Divinity Spark into his body and use these ten points of Road Divinity to temper his soul, merging himself with the Plane Laws of this world.

Simply put, it was the coalescence of Godhood.

Ten points of Road Divinity were already enough to coalesce a Level 1 Divine.

Once he did this, he would transcend the mundane, stepping into the ranks of demigods.

To become a True God, he must still craft his doctrine and establish his own God Kingdom.

But by merely touching upon it, the impulse ebbed away like the tide because, at that moment, he glimpsed into a whole new world where countless eyes were upon him.

Some were warmly curious, others endlessly cold, some lingered with boundless loathing, and even more with amplitude of greed.

The more it was those greedy and hateful ones, the stronger the inciting encouragement felt.

They wanted Gaven to yield to this impulse and take this step.

That world was nothing other than the Gods World located on the Outer Plane. With just one step, even half a step, the competition he’d face would be vastly different from now, as some existences could even justifiably make a move against him.

It’s not the time, far from the right time.

His current foundation was simply too shallow, merely a support from the divine nature force provided by a Path along the way, which would easily give the strong enemies or Voyeurs of the Road Clergy a handle to grab.

They only need to utterly destroy the Conqueror Path to make him fall from the altar, causing the newly coalesced Godhood to collapse, giving them a chance to usurp, turning everything he painstakingly built into someone else’s spoils.

To reclaim them from those divine enemies later on would be exceedingly difficult.

The strategy of building high walls, stockpiling supplies, and only claiming kingship later is effective even among gods.

Many fearsome existences are not short of ways to deal with him.

They’re just waiting, waiting for him to let the fruit of the Road Clergy grow big and tasty enough to be harvested.

Road Divinity alone, away from him as the coalescer, might dissipate immediately on the spot.

However, Godhood coalesced with substantial divinity is different; it’s already associated with the Laws, with the Gods World, less likely to collapse, and more easily pilfered by divine Voyeurs.

With such insight, Gaven immediately understood what he needed to do next, which is to take root in Phelun, root and take root again, until he can no longer enhance his strength or suppress the Road Divinity, and only then consider stepping into the realm of gods.

Hiding is not shameful, it’s for the sake of a more magnificent breakout in the future.

The reason for the sudden surge in Road Divinity is naturally related to these Haslan witches.

Because they genuinely recognized his ability regarding the Path.

Not only those zealous believers who call upon a deity’s name are regarded as believers.

Everyone who believes in a deity’s capability in a specific domain can be considered a general believer of that deity, and they all provide faith, albeit a little less.

That is to say, the Laiserman Kingdom itself isn’t as disengaged from the Deities of Phelun as it seemed. As long as they believe the Deities of Phelun truly exist, they can be regarded as general believers.

True unbelievers, even if witnessing the descent of a True God, wouldn’t admit they are deities but would genuinely consider them merely a more powerful otherworldly creature.

Such people are as rare in Phelun as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Even if there used to be, most were nailed to the Wall of the Unbelievers.
