Chapter 890 Harnessing Authority
Chapter 890 Harnessing Authority
Zhou Ning still remembers that the reward for being promoted to an angel is one of his current trump cards, the prototype of the kingdom of God.
As a reward for reaching the peak below the gods, which can only be obtained once in a lifetime, the random rewards obtained by being promoted to the King of Angels are definitely worth looking forward to.
As usual, Zhou Ning made a wish for good luck and chose to receive the reward. A large amount of information popped up on the panel.
[Congratulations on your promotion to the King of Angels, reaching the pinnacle below the gods.]
[You received a random reward of the following type: Authority/Status/Skill/Item (choose one of the four).]
"With rewards of this tier, any one you choose won't be bad. Even the most unreliable skills and items have a high chance of being divine skills or even miracle items. But for me, just pick the right one."
Zhou Ning tapped the table and took a deep breath. First, he ruled out the latter two. Skills and items could be obtained from the simulator, so the need for them was relatively less pressing. Authority and status were rewards that could only be obtained by chance.
After much thought, Zhou Ning made his own choice:
“I choose authority.”
The reason is simple. With the blessing of the God Slayer and the First Emperor's milestone, he has already become the King of Angels. The suppression of his status is not very obvious. It is better to choose the improvement of authority.
【Selection successful, please choose from the following four options. 】
[1. Randomly upgrade the level of an authority.]
[2. Randomly obtain a vacant authority prototype.]
[3. Selectively upgrade an authority, including but not limited to intensity, level, scope, etc.]
[4. Selectively acquire a new prototype of authority. (Choose one of the four)]
This was the first time Zhou Ning had seen this kind of reward method. It was a bit like the three-choice mode after the skill was upgraded to the god level. All four options were very attractive. The difference between one and three and two and four was randomness and certainty.
This time Zhou Ning did not hesitate and directly chose one. When the power of disaster was not activated, the so-called randomness was actually equivalent to choosing one of two options: either the power of wishing or the power of knowledge. It didn't matter which one was upgraded.
[Your wish power has been upgraded to: Control.]
Today is a good day. When given a choice between two powers, I actually accurately bet on the power of wishing. This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
The next second, Zhou Ning felt the increasingly powerful power of wishing and the white light spots flying all over the sky in a large area nearby. His body and mind unconsciously felt calm, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Now he can rely on the power of wishing to respond to wishes of quite high intensity, and the scope involved is getting wider and wider. If he continues to accumulate little by little, Zhou Ning suspects that he can really become almost omnipotent... According to my own estimation, my current accumulation can even make it so that even the clones I have created can respond to other people's wishes to a certain extent. Of course, the premise is that the intensity is not too high.
The levels of authority, after mastery comes control, and there should be one or two more levels to reach the true pinnacle. The player's wishing well and responding to the prayers of church believers will undoubtedly speed up this process, allowing them to reach perfection faster. Zhou Ning expressed his anticipation.
As for the authority of knowledge... Zhou Ning cast his gaze upwards.
[Knowledge Authority (Elementary): You are a seeker of knowledge, a possessor of knowledge, the embodiment of knowledge. Knowledge is your power. Combining the combined power of the three prototypes of knowledge, and possessing privileges across all knowledge domains, this authority can be advanced through the pursuit of knowledge or the sacrifice of unknown artifacts containing the authority of knowledge. (Note: This authority can trigger related quests.) (Note: This authority can already influence other transcendents in the corresponding system, increasing or decreasing their power accordingly.)]
This authority includes three branches: identification (general knowledge of all things); learning ability (knowledge exploration); and clan training (curiosity). This is only the primary level, and its effect is already quite obvious, but the upgrade path is relatively single. It can only be promoted through reading accumulation, as well as sacrifice and unknown strange objects related to knowledge authority. He has several of the latter, but has not yet made up his mind whether to sacrifice them.
Furthermore, Zhou Ning still didn't know how this authority would affect other transcendents in the corresponding system. According to his guess, it would most likely cause them to forget the relevant knowledge, or even become unable to cast spells. Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"Power truly is unreasonable! No wonder it's fought over by the gods!"
Zhou Ning noticed that there was an exclamation mark after the knowledge authority, indicating that a certain task had been triggered, and he clicked it without hesitation.
A prompt popped up on the panel:
[You have triggered a special mission: The Meaning of Knowledge. Do you want to accept it? Yes/No. (Note: This mission will affect all other transcendents in the corresponding system, please choose carefully.)
Mission Description: Some say knowledge is happiness, because possessing knowledge means being able to distinguish between true and false purposes, between noble and base things. Some say knowledge is power, because possessing it allows you to discern what is worth striving for.
[Then, as the holder of the authority of knowledge, the god of knowledge and wisdom, Guarani, would like to ask you, what does knowledge really mean?]
[Quest Requirements: Reach Intermediate Level of Knowledge Authority. Go to the Holy Temple of the Council of Knowledge, the City of Omniscience.]
[Mission deadline: None. 】
A special mission? And one that could affect all other transcendents in the corresponding system? Zhou Ning couldn't help but be slightly surprised. From these few words, Zhou Ning smelled the scent of a large-scale hidden mission!
The City of All-Knowing, the Holy Temple of the Parliament of Knowledge, is located in the city of Durles, the capital of the Maritime Kingdom of Revendreth. Due to the fall of the Guarani, it has now fallen out of the sequence of the Orthodox Church.
Zhou Ning accepted the task without hesitation. After all, there was no deadline for completion, so he could take his time to work on it.
After doing all this, Zhou Ning thought for a moment and took out the little broken book. Next, he should consider how to become a god.
At this time, due to the shock of being almost sacrificed, the pages of the small book were still wet. Zhou Ning picked it up with disdain, produced a pen, and wrote on it:
"Do you know how to make an angel king a god?"
Thinking of becoming a god already? The little book transformed into a trembling little yellow man expression, and then wrote:
"Hello, great master! This question is beyond my scope. I can only tell you the general steps and cannot help you complete this by creating coincidences."
"First of all, the prerequisite is that one must have reached the status of an Angel King and possess strength above that of an Angel King. I believe this is something you can understand."
"Secondly, you must possess two powers of complete control and one power that reaches the pinnacle. Similarly, the Wishing Lamp is your best choice (highly recommended). It can allow you to begin your journey into destiny. Destiny is the power that best suits you."
"Third, you must have more than a certain number of believers and leave behind immortal legends in at least four locations. This is the key to the deification ritual and also the most difficult part."
"Fourth, you still need to establish connections with multiple gods. This is the easiest for you. It still requires the approval and blessing of six gods, but one of them must be a true god. With the foundation of the Starry Sky Church, this shouldn't be difficult."
"Fifth, one must possess a divine artifact that one completely controls, and at the same time, sacrifice this divine artifact during the ascension ceremony, thereby gaining a higher authority."
"Sixth, the promotion must take place at the singularity of this world, the place where you became an angel."
"Each of the above is beyond the reach of ordinary angels. This is why achieving godhood is so difficult."
The little book explained all the key points in one breath, and then quietly stopped writing.
Zhou Ning closed it and put it back into the inventory, thinking.
Becoming a god was more difficult than he had imagined. Apart from anything else, the power to completely control two things was enough to give him a headache, not to mention the need to leave behind immortal legends in four places.
As for the fifth point, the artifact, that is even more outrageous. Even with the plug-in, I still don’t know what the artifact looks like, let alone completely control it... The biggest hope is to sacrifice through the upgrade of the Black Decaying Blade.
No wonder gods are so rare in this world... Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, a game prompt suddenly popped up in front of me:
