Chapter 2278: The Essence of the Power of Creation
————Too busy today, will finish tomorrow~

That is really hard to say.
Among the elements of Ascension to Godhood that Xia Duo understands, Faith only occupies a small portion; whether it exists or not is actually not important. The key is the more fundamental Prime Force Tendency.
Another part is the Order Force. No, in Xia Duo's speculation, Order Force is necessary to become an Order God, but wanting to achieve Ascension 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 mind, and 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 thousand-year obsession with revenge, it invisibly aligned with the elements for the birth of a Chaos God. Could the Mulan's great secret be an Ascension Ritual?
But where did such a group of Slaves get the Ascension Knowledge?
Xia Duo suddenly thought of the Cormanthor caravans running all over Yimaska. Although Tax Officials were watching them at all times, Arcane Magic and Creation Magic were not in the same system to begin with, so it was entirely understandable that loopholes appeared.
Perhaps it was the Elves of Cormanthor acting as intermediaries, and they even sent out the Ascension Knowledge along the way. Given the things Cormanthor had done in Xilu, it was entirely possible for them to replicate 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, then the information contained within is immense!
Since when did the Elves have such a "global" perspective?
Isn't the Xilu region enough for them to stir up?
……
Various thoughts surged in Xia Duo's mind, but in the end, he could not come up with any definitive idea. However, judging by the current situation, the possibility that the Mulan are secretly seeking Ascension to Godhood has greatly increased.
Afterward, Xia Duo continued to chat with Sainide for a while, but he could not obtain more useful information from the other party's subconscious.
But this was also within his expectations. Although Sainide was a sacred cat keeper in a settlement, his overly conspicuous identity destined him to be unable to come into contact with the real secrets.
"Those Elders?"
The Elders were mentioned many times in Sainide's subconscious; it seemed that it was because of those Elders that all the Mulan scattered across various places were gathered together.
But unfortunately, Sainide's knowledge of the Elders was limited to a few names; he did not even know their true identities or how many of them there were.
Of course, he did know the secret signals and tokens for meeting up.
"In that case——"
Xia Duo simply used Sainide as a clue to conduct Scrying, tracking the information about those Elders in reverse. To improve the precision of the Scrying, he also took out the Fate Trajectory given to him by Yinaole as an aid.
But the tracking encountered heavy resistance as soon as it began. An invisible force was constantly trying to interfere with his Scrying. Although even with the Fate Trajectory, which could accurately record the details of these interfering forces, the interference itself was very difficult to eliminate.
Difficult does not mean impossible, but the problem is that this power clearly involves the participation of a Spellcaster. 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 tries to eliminate or break through the interference, the other party will definitely know of his existence.
And then they will make countermeasures 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 a large-scale investigation.
But the problem is that the Yimaska side is suspected of having a God-Slaying Plan, and he does not know if they will cooperate, and on what grounds would he ask them to cooperate?
Another option is to buy enough Slaves to investigate himself; he might even be able to buy one of Sainide's so-called "Elders" directly!
However, doing so also carries risks. The biggest risk is that if he accidentally buys a potential Mulan candidate for Ascension to Godhood, 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; it's the Yimaskans and the Mulan who should be worried."
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 Elven Main God, just like when the Princess ascended to godhood; if it weren't for the protection of the Lord of Radiance, she might have been forcibly snatched away by the Elven Main God.
From this perspective, this seems to further increase the possibility of Cormanthor instigating the Mulan to ascend to godhood. After all, what could not be obtained from the Netherese must be made up for elsewhere.
Otherwise, this Ascension Knowledge would have been given away for nothing!
With this thought, Xia Duo put down the worries in his heart. Even if a God Disaster really does break out in the end, there is the Elven Main God to clean up the mess. Taking a step back, Netheril, which is God-Favored by the Lord of Radiance, does not need to worry about this kind of trans-limit existence.
Moreover, this kind of Chaos God is naturally hostile to the Lord of Radiance; once they start causing trouble in the Main Plane, they might be directly crushed to death by the Lord of Radiance.
Next, just watch the show; see if the Mulan can really bring out a God of Vengeance, and how the Elven Main God will take action.
By the way, there are also the Yimaskans. Prince Aben needs a large amount of Arcane Crystal to develop new materials. Hundreds of millions of units of energy at the level of a Ten-Ring Spell 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 already shed energy limitations is probably very difficult to kill by purely piling up quantity. It's just that he doesn't know what means Yimaska has.
If Yimaska has also obtained the Ascension Knowledge from Cormanthor, that would be very interesting.
Taking the speculation further, perhaps it was the Elven Main God who instructed those below to do this in order to verify something? Is it related to the advancement of gods? Or is it 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 Elven Main God's intentions toward the Princess.
Wanting to progress is not just a human pursuit; gods may not lack such pursuits, or rather, it is normal that they do.
As for the talk of hidden dangers, Xia Duo guessed this based on the Elves' Ascension Ritual. The Ascension Ritual provided by the Elves has high uncertainty, and 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.
As for what the facts actually are, Xia Duo cannot be sure. Currently, 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!"
