Chapter 322 Apotheosis

“What the hell is going on?”

Lin Luoran is in space where it’s the season of harvest, but she only wants to figure out what’s happening now.

Fire Phoenix is a little angry. “Sister silver gave you a great lucky chance. And now you are ungrateful and exercising your authority?”

Lin Luoran is so speechless. How is it possible for her to exercise her authority? She suddenly sees a colorful sculpture in the ocean of consciousness. She is so nervous now!

Little silver fish is a half soul. It can’t eat. Taking a breath of water Reiki from time to time is a rare treat for it. Of course, when it craves food occasionally, the small silver fish will smell its favorite food, mangosteen.

“I don’t know, but I think I might have seen someone like this before.” Its memory fades in and out. Sometimes it can remember some ancient history. But for most of the time, it is in a muddle, as simple as a child.

Fire Phoenix laughs and says, “I know. Beg me, and I can tell you what happened.”

Lin Luoran gives it a cold face, “You still owe me a dragonbone. Where is it?”

Fire phoenix shuts up immediately. It flies in the space with its gorgeous tail and says resentfully, “You have apotheosized yourself now. Mount Jun is your Taoist field and ‘Mortal Heart’ is your Taoist name, understand? ”

What a bad Taoist name. It’s just a casual name and this bad name will be yours forever. Just get mad, you little girl. Fire Phoenix is entertaining itself. Lin Luoran catches its beautiful tail,

“What do you mean apotheosizing myself? Have you seen the gods of the Laying Foundation? Make it clear, or I’ll choke you. ”

Alas, what a girl, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Fire phoenix thinks it is just too good to her. Fire phoenix pecks Lin Luoran gently. The back of her hand doesn’t hurt, but her spiritual mind is stinging. The colorful sculpture in the ocean shakes twice and Lin Luoran also takes two steps back.

Fire phoenix exaltedly says, “Well, now you know you should fear me? If you are so rude again, I will smash your newly condensed godhead and make you an idiot.”

“That colorful sculpture is my godhead?” Lin Luoran feels so strange, dragging the phoenix to make it clear.

The swing under the apple tree sways. The phoenix’s explanation is patchy. Lin Luoran takes a long time to finally understand what it says.

In this world, gods do exist. However, gods are also once strong men of all races. They have their own Taoist fields and enjoy incense on earth so they become gods. In the golden years, there were countless kinds of gods. Not only strong men but even a weasel on some hills could become the king of the hills. With some incense of that region, it also got some magic tricks which could make it do something it wants.

Since the Tao of nature is a mess, all gods in this world go somewhere unknown. Under the testimony of thousands of people, Lin Luoran brought rain, healed diseases, and says her own name. In ancient times, it called apotheosizing herself. Of course, it was a big crime of offending heaven if someone with only the personal ability of Laying Foundation apotheosizes himself. Lightning would strike the insolent cultivator and inevitably turn him into ash.

The Tao of nature is chaotic now and the gods and Buddhas have disappeared for long. In addition, Lin Luoran has “the Stamp of the Dragon King” and the golden ware. These two things make her escape from being discovered by Heaven’s Doom. She takes advantage of it. Now she gains the power of faith.

“But if someone happens to have the treasures of immortals, can he also apotheosize himself?” Even if the gods and Buddhas disappeared, there are still lots of cultivators with great personal ability in history, like the woman surnamed Ji in Babylon. Why doesn’t she apotheosize herself?

Fire Phoenix despises her, “You think everyone can be lucky as you, putting your own name on the gold ware? Incense, faith…these resources are limited, and the positions of gods are also limited. It’s for sure that only when the predecessor dies, can there be a successor. You can apotheosize yourself because you are in the Dragon Palace. All coincidences are difficult to replay for thousands of years… More importantly, the inheritance is cut off. Others have neither the golden ware of the immortals nor the knowledge of apotheosis. There is always only one person who can succeed in apotheosis. You have occupied the position. Even if others copy what you did today, you are still the last and only god on earth.”

The predecessor dies, and there can be a successor.

Lin Luoran takes out “the Stamp of the Dragon King”. Does it mean that something bad happens to the Dragon King of Dongting?

“If the colorful sculpture in the ocean of consciousness is my godhead, as you said, then are those things looking like fireflies the power of faith?”

Fire Phoenix nods, “You are not that stupid. The power of faith is so great. You will know it later. ”

Lin Luoran asks how great it is. The fire phoenix loiters around the swing, “Without the power of faith, spell, arts of nature, and your own holly spell… they won’t work.”

Holy spell? Well, isn’t it Buddhist cultivator’s stuff?

Lin Luoran becomes more confused, and fire phoenix sweeps her head with its tail, “You are so stupid. Buddhist cultivators practice holy spell using the name of the gods and Buddhas in heaven. Even the power of faith is stolen under the name of others. The same goesfor the holy spell. People can’t have their own holy spell. ”

Lin Luoran doesn’t make comments, “So only some gods that are not renowned in the Legend of Deification apotheosize themselves. They can’t be very wonderful gods.”

Fire phoenix laughs, “Of course they are not very wonderful. Otherwise, how can you be one of them?”

Gods… immortals… Many novels say that gods are immortals first before they are real gods. But according to fire phoenix, “gods” are restricted by titles and rules of heaven. Immortals are a free branch in the world.

Regardless of cultivators or others, they will be granted the priesthood when they overcome Heaven’s Doom. Then they will be in charge of one part of the waters or lead some heaven soldiers. How can they be free like immortals? As for people born in the Upper Land, they are born with good strength. But not like cultivated fairies who can continue to practice. Cultivated fairies don’t know the path ahead but can explore a higher level of the world.

“And you still say that apotheosis is a lucky chance…” In this way, gods are not better than immortals. She wants to be an immortal, not a god. Lin Luoran really wants to stomp like a little girl.

Fire phoenix looks at her with deep contempt,

“Gods are restrained in the old days. Now heaven doesn’t even exist. Who will control you? Who will care about if you work or not? You are really a pig. The heaven collapses so there is no way to be an immortal. Now you get the chance of being a god. Just shut up and enjoy it… You are only in the late period of Laying Foundation. Since primitive time, I have never seen such a god with so bad personal ability, wow. ”

After being teased by the fire phoenix, Lin Luoran suddenly feels ashamed and embarrassed. She just flashes out of space.

The stars gradually disappear and the east side of the sky turns into a grayish color. It’s dawn. Lin Luoran feels more confused.

She doesn’t feel bad for she can’t be an immortal. Since the heaven is in chaos, she has never thought of being an immortal in a place like earth. The question is, now that she has inexplicably apotheosized herself, will it conflict with her cultivation?

Fire phoenix also said that the cultivation of immortals is a better way. Lin Luoran doesn’t covet holy spell. She is now “the successor to the Dragon King”, master of a bare place.

The power of faith… She just follows her heart and does good deeds in her spare time. Just let nature take its course, and it may be useful in the future. No matter what, the colorful sculpture in the ocean of consciousness is kind of like the Fly Apsaras of Dunhuang caves. Lin Luoran likes it.

She takes a look at the small lights in the ocean of consciousness that represent the power of faith. They are generally dim. These faiths are from the spiritual rain so they are still very weak. As the fire phoenix said, there is still too early for her to use the holy spell.

Looking at the waters of Dongting, the 800-square-league Dongting is her land and Mount Jun is her Taoist field to enjoy the incense… Hey, Dongting waters was her original task. Now it is an unimportant Taoist field. So, maybe it doesn’t really make a difference if she is a god or not.

Lin Luoran finally understands the status quo. “Apotheosis” is a big cake. But for her, it’s still a long way to go before she tastes how delicious it is.

Cultivating and advancing, these are her main tasks now ——

The newly appointed “Lin Dragon King “summons the flying sword and heads for Rong City.

She is a god with bad personal ability. She still has to eat. She still has to go home for breakfast!
