Extra Chapter 4: The Path of the Gods

The awakened Jack has already controlled the power of ocean and thunder, and can create world-destroying tsunamis and thunder at will. Poseidon also controls the power of ocean and thunder.

However, some accidents occurred during the process of condensing the divine personality.

When Jack's soul left his body, it entered Poseidon's body to condense his godhead.

As a result, during the process of condensing his godhead, he found himself trapped in Poseidon's body.

Because Poseidon's soul itself was split from Jack's soul, a soul aggregation with Jack as the main and Poseidon as the supplement was formed during the condensation of the godhead.

It feels like driving a Gundam, and Poseidon is the Gundam's intelligent assistance system.

Of course, this does not mean that Jack's physical body is useless. After all, his physical body is still "alive" to this day.

Before Jack became a god, he locked his body in the Deep Sea Disk. The reason why the Deep Sea Disk was able to "ascend" was because the heart of the ocean in his body was functioning.

After becoming a god, he also learned many unknown secrets. First of all, this planet is "alive" and her name is Noi.

In the vast universe, a very small number of planets are different from most planets that can only follow the technological route at the beginning of their birth.

A special kind of energy will be born on these very few special planets, and the energy properties of different special planets are also different.

This special energy will allow the planet to evolve life instincts, or the instinctive consciousness of living things.

At the same time, the longer the planet exists, the "smarter" the planet's consciousness becomes, and the more intense the special energy on the planet becomes.

After the emergence of instinctive consciousness, the planet will follow its instincts and cultivate some powerful life individuals according to its own situation to protect itself.

While the planet strengthens these individual lives, it will also grant these individuals certain rights, which is the so-called "godhead".

Therefore, gods are essentially just powerful living individuals, creatures born by the instinct of the planet to protect themselves.

In addition, the relationship between God and the planet is very special. The instinctive idea of ​​​​the planet is to cultivate powerful life individuals to protect itself.

But in Jack's view, there is a special "mother-child symbiotic relationship" between "god" and the planet, just like Jack and Noi.

Noy gives Jack the powers of the ocean and thunder, and a symbiotic relationship is established between them.

According to the information transmitted to Jack by Noe, there are two definitions of "god".

One is to absorb the special energy of the planet step by step. When the body is strong enough to survive in the universe, it can be called a "god".

The second is to take shortcuts and take the shortcut of faith.

The power of faith is the combination of the power of the soul and the special energy of the planet, which can help living things become very powerful in a very short period of time.

The disadvantage is that the number of believers must be maintained and they cannot leave the home planet. Once they leave, not only will the power of the godhead be unable to be used, but the body strengthened by the power of faith will also rapidly weaken.

And if you follow the faith route to become a god, once your home planet is destroyed, your divine power will be affected.

Once the God of Faith dies, it will also cause a certain degree of damage to the will of the planet.

That's why Jack calls this relationship a "special mother-son symbiosis."

However, the God of Faith is not weaker than the God who relies on his own cultivation. Even when the God of Faith is within the scope of his home planet, he is more powerful than ordinary gods because of his divine personality.

Moreover, after becoming the God of Faith, you can choose to absorb energy and continue practicing. There is no conflict between the two.

Moreover, after becoming the God of Faith, as long as he does not leave the home star, there will be no lifespan problem, but he will be "bound" by the home star to a certain extent. It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

However, if you want to cultivate yourself into a god after becoming a god of faith, you still need some special conditions, the most important of which is to have a perfectly adapted body to temporarily transfer your godhood.

Otherwise, the godhead will automatically consume the power of faith and convert the special energy absorbed into the body into the power of faith.

Moreover, the conversion efficiency is very low, which will make the power of faith unable to make ends meet and continue to be consumed.

However, as long as most creatures taste the sweetness of the power of faith, they will basically not choose to immerse themselves in hard work. It is too slow!

Especially for a young planet like Noi, the concentration of special energy is too low and its lifespan is not allowed.

Within tens of millions of years after Noi was born, she cultivated two gods of faith and some extraordinary creatures.

There are two gods of faith, one is the King of Light, and Jack doesn't know the specific name of the other, and Noi didn't tell him.

Jack only knew that the Lord of Light forced all living beings to believe in him half a million years ago, and the other God of Faith naturally did not agree.

So the war between the two gods broke out without warning.

Since the power Noi gave away could not be completely recovered, she could only try to suppress it to reduce the scale of the battle.

The final result was that the King of Light was seriously injured and his body was destroyed. The life and death of the other god are unknown, but there is a high probability that he is dead.

It took Noi tens of millions of years to enter the ranks of mid-level planets, but he fell back to low-level planets overnight. The originally huge Ultes continent must have been affected by the battle between the two gods and became like that. It looks like there is not even a single native species left on the incomplete Ultes continent.

The periodic magic tides and long nights that appear in the world are caused by the King of Light recovering from his injuries and harvesting special energy (magic) and the power of faith.

However, Jack has become a god now, and there will be no more periodic magic tides and long nights on the planet Noy.

After thinking about it, Jack finally decided to take the path of asceticism. After relying on the power of faith to become a god, there are too many restrictions.

And Jack's body transformed by the Heart of the Ocean is a perfect carrier for the transfer of godhood and faith power.

After discussing with the Sea King Elizabeth VII of this generation, Atlantis finally melted the deep sea disc into a throne of faith, and the throne of faith and Jack's body were placed in the deepest part of the Holy Church.

Jack transferred the godhood and the power of faith to his body, and left a part of his consciousness. When the Sea Kings of all generations encountered unsolvable problems, they could contact Jack through this body.

Jack and Poseidon found a place not far from the Holy City of Atlantis and began a long and boring practice career.

Because of Jack's existence and the acquiescence of the consciousness of Noy, the special energy (magic) of the whole world began to converge on the Holy City of Atlantis.

Five hundred years later, the place where Jack was has become a mountain range stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

This underwater mountain range is called Zumai Mountain by the Atlanteans, and it is a holy place for the geniuses of Atlantis to practice water magic.

It is said that this was the place where the God Ancestor Emperor slept, and practicing here will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
