Chapter 2277: Enlightenment Secret Device Combination for Psionic Creation
————Caught up on the previous two chapters, will finish everything tomorrow~~

That is truly hard to say.
Among the elements of Ascension to Godhood that Xia Duo understands, Faith only accounts for a small portion; whether it exists or not is actually not important. The key is the Prime Force Tendency at a higher level.
Another part is the Order Force. No, in Xia Duo's speculation, Order Force is a necessity for achieving an Order God, but wanting to ascend to godhood does not necessarily require becoming an Order God; one could also be a Chaos God.
"A Chaos God?"
Xia Duo repeated this sentence in his heart over and over. Then, he suddenly thought: could the decades of turmoil in Yimaska all be instigated by the Mulan? Was the purpose to practice the path of chaotic vengeance?
Added to the entire ethnic group's millennium-long obsession with revenge, it invisibly aligned with the elements for the birth of a Chaos God. Could the Mulan's great secret be the Ascension Ritual?
But where did such a group of slaves get the Ascension Knowledge?
Xia Duo suddenly thought of the Cormanthor merchant caravans running all over Yimaska. Although Tax Officials were watching at all times, Arcane Magic and Creation Magic were not the same system to begin with, so it was entirely understandable that loopholes appeared.
Perhaps it was the Elves of Cormanthor connecting the dots, and then incidentally handing out the Ascension Knowledge. Given the things Cormanthor had done in Xilu, it was entirely possible they were replicating it in the East.

They really are afraid the world won't be in chaos!
There is nothing to criticize about the Mulan's revenge itself, and Xia Duo does not think there is anything wrong with it. But if Cormanthor really was instigating it from behind the scenes, then the information hidden within this is immense!
Since when did the Elves have such a "global" perspective?
Was the Xilu region not enough for them to stir up?
……
Various thoughts surged in Xia Duo's heart. In the end, he couldn't come up with any definitive idea, but looking at the current situation, the possibility that the Mulan are secretly seeking Ascension to Godhood has greatly increased.
Afterwards, Xia Duo continued to chat with Sainide for a while, but he was unable to obtain more useful information from the other's Subconscious.
However, this was also within his expectations. Although Sainide was a sacred cat keeper in a settlement, his overly conspicuous status destined him to be unable to come into contact with the real secrets.
"Those Elders?"
In Sainide's Subconscious, he mentioned the Elders many times. It seemed that it was only because of those Elders that all the Mulan scattered across various places were gathered together.
But regrettably, Sainide's knowledge of the Elders was limited to a few names; he didn't even know their true identities or how many of them there were.
Of course, he still knew the contact signals, tokens, and such.
"In that case——"
Xia Duo simply used Sainide as a clue to conduct Scrying, tracking the information on those Elders in reverse. To improve the precision of the Scrying, he even took out the 【Fate Trajectory】 given to him by Yinaole as an aid.
But the tracking encountered heavy resistance right from the start. An invisible force was constantly attempting to interfere with his Scrying. Although even with the 【Fate Trajectory】 he could accurately record the details of these interfering forces, the interference itself was very difficult to exclude.
Difficult does not mean impossible, but the problem is that this power clearly has Spellcasters participating in it. He is not sure if it is the work of the craftsmen mastered by the Mulan or the Mages of Cormanthor, but what is certain is that as long as he attempts to exclude or break through the interference, the other party will definitely know of his existence.
And then make counter-measures, or erase the relevant clues in advance.
He does not fear the former, but if it were the latter, then this clue would be broken. To reconnect it, he would have to go through the Yimaska side and conduct large-scale screening.
But the problem is, the Yimaska side is suspected of having a God-Slaying Plan; he does not know if they would cooperate, and on what grounds would he ask them to cooperate?
Another way is to buy enough slaves to investigate himself; perhaps he could even directly buy one of Sainide's so-called "Elders"!
However, doing so also carries risks. The biggest risk is that if he happens to buy a potential Mulan Ascended God, then the target of the Mulan's revenge might not start with Yimaska, but with him.
But as he thought about it, Xia Duo suddenly laughed at himself, "What does this have to do with me? Why should I investigate? I'm leaving here in less than a month; the ones who should be worried are the Yimaskans and the Mulan."
Although there is the threat of a God Disaster, since this God Disaster is highly likely to have been instigated by Cormanthor rather than coming from an Other Plane, then presumably Cormanthor should hold the final Insurance.
Perhaps it is the Elf Main God, just like the Princess's Ascension to Godhood; if it weren't for the protection of the Lord of Radiance, she might have been forcibly abducted by the Elf Main God.
From this perspective, this seems to further increase the possibility of Cormanthor instigating the Mulan to ascend to godhood. After all, things that couldn't be obtained from the Netherese must be made up for from other places.
Otherwise, wouldn't this Ascension Knowledge have been released for nothing!
With this thought, Xia Duo let go of the worry in his heart. Even if a God Disaster finally breaks out, there is still the Elf Main God to clean up. Taking a step back, Netheril, which is favored by the Lord of Radiance, does not need to worry about such transcendent existences.
Moreover, this kind of Chaos God is naturally hostile to the Lord of Radiance. Once they mess around in the Main Plane, they might be directly crushed by the Lord of Radiance.
Next, just watch the show. See if the Mulan can really bring out the God of Vengeance, and how the Elf Main God will take action.
By the way, there is also the Yimaskan, Prince Aben. Developing new materials requires a massive amount of Arcane Crystal; hundreds of millions of units of energy at the Ten-Ring Spell level is clearly not a small plan.
Xia Duo guesses it might be related to God-Slaying, and he is also very interested in this. Of course, he is not interested in the God-Slaying itself, but in the essence of gods.
Based on his current understanding of gods, this kind of existence that has broken free from energy limitations is probably very difficult to kill by purely stacking quantity. It's just that he doesn't know what means Yimaska has.
If Yimaska has also obtained Cormanthor's Ascension Knowledge, that would be too interesting.
Guessing further, perhaps it is the Elf Main God who instructed those below to do this in order to verify something, related to the advancement of gods? Or to resolve some hidden danger of their own.
Gods have levels of superiority and inferiority; this is a fact. Otherwise, the Divine Envoy of the Lord of Radiance would not have stepped forward to stop the Elf Main God's intentions toward the Princess.
Wanting to progress is not just a human pursuit; gods may not necessarily lack such pursuits, or rather, having them is normal.
As for the talk of hidden dangers, Xia Duo guessed based on the Elves' Ascension Ritual. The Ascension Ritual provided by the Elves has high uncertainty; what is ultimately achieved is very likely a Chaos God, while the Princess took a different path and achieved an Order God.
Perhaps it is the hidden danger between order and chaos.
What the truth actually is, Xia Duo cannot be certain. For now, he can only make speculations based on some information he has already obtained. Whether it is accurate or not depends on how the world changes next.
"Watch the show, just watch the show!"
