But is that all?

Chapter 864 The Forbidden Path

As Kru remembered more and more, he gradually understood his relationship with Nems and the core meaning of this mission.

Either recognize the limits of your own abilities, acquire the divine status, hand it over to Nemus, and then obediently work under Nemus, assisting Nemus.

Or it could be that they truly succeeded and obtained godhood through their own abilities.

At this point, Kru realized that he didn't have many options left.

According to Nemes's plan, if he answered with his answer, everything would be over. The others were only just beginning to understand and couldn't stop him at all.

Obtaining the title of Earth God would also allow him to stand firmly behind Nemus and become his most trusted subordinate.

His future achievements may be even greater than those of becoming a god by virtue of a divine title.

However, everything must be subordinate to Lord Nemes.

Just thinking about this is a stinging reminder of Kru's ambitions.

Kru smiled, looking at the gloomy sky and the forbidden rain.

After a slight pause, Kru turned and left.

He realized he had been too hasty.

Eager to prove themselves, after gradually realizing what they want, all their actions are aimed at speed.

While it is true that, in reality, the faster one goes, the more likely one is to succeed.

But for now, he should have his own way...

"Can we talk?" Kru asked the trainee 'clergy' who were still training.

The clergy who were training the interns saw Kru, frowned, and came up to argue with him.

"I have a mission here that requires some manpower to assist me?" Kru said, raising the mission document in his hand.

"I wonder if you guys are interested?"

After the document appeared, those 'people' returned to calm, as if nothing concerned them.

The other mythical beings who came to vie for godhood were all stunned.

Although it's unknown what the documents in Kru's possession are, they must be crucial if they can directly interfere with the church's daytime operations.

Even when Kru asked them if they were interested, they became a little more clear-headed.

Logically, this should have been a trap to eliminate competitors, but Atata was the first to agree.

In any case, he is now an ally of Kru, and he believes that Kru would not betray him at this stage.

After witnessing this, most people chose to agree.

Whether it's the Earth Serpent, Morin, or a crying or smiling face.

The only ones who disagreed were the radiant figure and an individual who seemed to be hidden somewhere.

With the help of the documents, the two of them regained some of their senses.

Kru and Atata are allies, while the other four are in a group.

They all had the support of a pantheon, and then formed an alliance under the combined power of the pantheons behind them.

Only the two mythical beings managed to squeeze in while the other opened the door.

Although they have the support of 'gods' behind them, most of those gods only make casual investments. Unless they unexpectedly bring the divine status out of the Earth Church, the gods behind them will not take action.

Otherwise, it can be treated as if it didn't exist.

They did not trust Klue.

And even if the other party doesn't actually harm them, they still can't get involved.

The other side has a large number of people and is powerful; if they get involved, they will only become cannon fodder.

Moreover, the reason they lack divine 'support' is not because they are weak, but quite the opposite, because the two of them are strong enough.

One of them is a mythical species belonging to the element of light, and the other is a mythical species related to space.

They are all extremely talented mythical beings, and their stats have long since reached the upper limit for mythical beings.

Their only remaining advancement was godhood, but unfortunately...

Over the years, divine essence has rarely flowed outwards.

Many times, deities either died or returned from the dead and were resurrected.

Or perhaps there is interference from other deities, thus resulting in dual divine authority.

Very few can truly rise from mythology to become gods.

Basically, the deities were already fixed during the mythological and golden ages.

Over the years, many gods have died, but few have truly perished and their divine essence has been released.

Therefore, not becoming gods was not because they were not good at it, but because that's just how the world is.

Fate dictates that many things simply won't be yours to do.

In this situation, it has nothing to do with strength.

Therefore, they do not intend to participate at this time. Their goal is very clear: when others obtain godhood, they will directly seize it by force, rather than going through the trouble of seeking that 'fate'.

Upon seeing this scene, a certain emotion flickered in Kru's eyes, but he still led the people to the eaves of the church.

Pointing to that piece of land, he explained his current predicament.

"Only after we resolve the issues in this land can we obtain divinity."

“If we can’t solve this, then none of us will obtain godhood.” Kru didn’t mention the standard answer given by Lord Nemus.

"We can only wait to die in this church... The rain is getting heavier!"

Upon hearing Klu's words, the five people who had come with him all became serious.

Although they are all competitors, if they cannot obtain the divine status, then they have no goal to compete for, so there is no need to fight before that.

"What's your plan?" Some of these mythical beings have spent most of their lives without achieving any historical accomplishments. Now, they're being asked to create something new in a limited writing assignment, despite the taboo surrounding it. This challenge is much greater than they imagined.

“We can’t simply mobilize the power of the earth to fight against the forbidden and create new miracles,” Kru said earnestly.

"I am very clear about the limits of my abilities, and I am also very clear about the boundaries of my thinking..."

“Therefore we cannot start from the positive direction.” After a pause, Kruton said seriously, “We need to pay attention to taboos, and then utilize taboos.”

“Then…it will become taboo!” Kru squinted as he revealed his plan.

The sky began to crackle and thunder the moment Kru finished speaking.

"Impossible!" the Earth Serpent exclaimed at that moment. "This is going against the grain; it can't possibly succeed!"

"That's exactly what we want – to challenge the impossible!" Kru replied with a smile, "None of us can obtain godhood through legitimate means."

"Then this is the only way left."

"Look!" Beneath the illusion, the pollution on the mud soldiers and sand generals continues to grow.

"Pollution has become intertwined with the power of the earth, and by following this pollution, we can actually control more of the earth's power."

"Taboo is not a completely opposite path."

"Together, we invoke taboos, delve into taboos, and then obtain hope through taboos."

Chapter 865 All Under the Forbidden Rain

"Are you crazy?" Atata looked at Kru, involuntarily taking a step back.

Treating taboos as a power that can be 'utilized' and controlled is one of the signs of complete sinful transformation, or even deep sinfulness.

Ever since the Golden Age, with the emergence of forbidden power, the taboo has remained, becoming the cause of the world's impending doom.

These lesions vary in size and intensity.

The powerful, such as the abyss, transcend the possibilities of the world and are constantly expanding. The fragmentation of logarithms within them is causing the entire world to gradually become chaotic.

The weaker ones are monsters similar to some 'divine abominations'.

The so-called divine abominations are monsters that possess the power of gods, but which are distorted and mutated due to conflicts of numbers.

In such cases, the most common occurrence is that of a divine child.

Most mythical creatures are individuals, but a small number also possess the ability to reproduce individually; their offspring are mythical beings.

Gods, to a certain extent, transcend the form of life, so they can also 'mating' and reproduce with each other, and give rise to mythical creatures.

Furthermore, these mythical creatures are very powerful, with some even rivaling mythical species.

However, it is difficult for such mythical creatures to enter the material plane, which is why there has always been a lack of relevant information.

However, these mythical creatures born from the gods are not purely strong and perfect; they have enormous flaws.

The erroneous accumulation of divine power, even a small amount of primal power, can distort it, making it increasingly perverse.

It's as if there's a forbidden mechanism that restricts the reproduction of gods.

After discovering this, the gods gradually gave up on reproduction. But unfortunately, a single instance of divine blood seeping out from an injury, an unexpected burst of spiritual energy, or a mishap of divine power in battle could give rise to 'life' and then form a divine abomination.

Most of these divine abominations were thrown into the astral plane.

Due to the accumulation of errors, the divine abominations became mentally confused and were unable to control themselves with precise thoughts within the astral plane.

The gods would not regard them as their own offspring.

In addition, any disruption or distortion of logarithms will lead to the emergence of taboos.

Such a powerful force naturally attracts envy; however, regardless of the size of the taboo, anyone who comes into contact with it will slowly succumb.

Mere contact and limited use may not be too serious, but once one attempts to master it, the forbidden power will surge and quickly become entangled with oneself, eventually transforming into yet another 'sinful entity'.

Then this sinful entity will become a difficult-to-handle, yet alluring treasure.

Just like the original sinful souls, whether they are purified or sacrificed to the abyss, they will receive many rewards.

Hearing this, even Kru himself was stunned.

“I’m not willing to accept this,” Krue said, shaking his head. “Whether it’s crazy or not, this is my last chance!”

After hearing this, Atata fell silent. He glanced at Kru, then at the other people with different expressions, and then chose to leave.

He braved the rain and walked out of the church grounds.

As he walked out, his identity was instantly stripped away.

This also means that he has completely given up the struggle for the title of Earth God.

Krue hadn't expected that Atata would be the first among them to give up.

As a demon, his soul inherently contains the sins and taboos of a demon.

Logically, he should be the one most likely to accept taboos, but now he is the first to choose to give them up.

Subsequently, among the other mythical creatures, the smiling and crying faces directly agreed, while the Earth Serpent shook its head, not giving up, but rejecting Kru's proposal.

"I will obtain godhood through my own methods." With that, the Earth Serpent watched the group leave warily.

He will not give up becoming a god, and the Earth Godhood is one of the most suitable divine identities for him.

But it's not worth him sinking into taboos.

Mythical creatures have an infinite lifespan; as long as they are not killed, they will never die.

He has waited for hundreds of millions of years and doesn't mind continuing to wait.

Finally, Morin was left.

He looked at Kru, and in their eye contact, they both saw a calm madness in each other's eyes.

Like the Earth Serpent, Morin needed to know more information, such as—the world was about to completely end.

Others may know, but they are not sure, and it is difficult to know how far away the end of the world is.

Therefore, they are always indifferent to things that are 'far away'.
