Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 251 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind

After he obtained this identity, the humanitarian chains that bound him loosened a lot, which meant that the humanitarian luck he inherited from this god took effect.

Through the partial wreckage of Tiandao in his hand and Fengji's deeds during his lifetime, he had a general understanding of the outside world.

The general direction of this world is similar to that of the Earth. After all, they are copied from the same underlying template. However, this world is the kind that can make up for its shortcomings with hard work. Although it does not have the unique conditions that some worlds are born with, it is still much better than Li Ming's world.

Relying on steady progress, it can be considered of medium qualifications among many worlds of the same level. However, given the innate conditions, every world would want to keep advancing. Although this world has some spiritual energy, it can never meet the conditions for natural advancement. Finally, when it was about to die, it decided to give it a try, but was intercepted by the crazy world. Later, it was unable to recover. Hope was right in front of it, but it failed at the last minute. It originally thought of just waiting to die, but ended up encountering the Zagros incident.

The space where Zagros is located and the time period of the real world are disordered and chaotic. When Tiandao self-destructed, this space was at the time when the previous era was destroyed.

The Fengji that Zagreus replaced was once the emperor of the Nanzhao Kingdom. This era had a certain foundation for spiritual practice, and there were qigong practitioners in ancient times, but this world did not have as many level divisions as other immortal cultivation worlds.

There are only four stages from becoming a human to becoming a god: refining essence into Qi --- refining Qi into spirit --- refining spirit into emptiness --- refining emptiness into harmony with the Tao.

Zagreus roughly calculated that refining essence into qi means that mortals will begin to absorb spiritual energy, their bodies will be stronger than ordinary people, and their lifespan will reach about 100 years. Although this is a short number, at that time people could live to 60 years old, which was considered a long life.

The second stage is to refine Qi into spirit. Generally, people in this stage are constantly developing their own physical strength, which are often called martial arts masters. Their lifespan can be around 150 years.

The third stage is to refine the spirit and return to emptiness. At this stage, the body can be said to have been developed to the extreme and has begun to come into contact with the energy between heaven and earth. Based on one's own talents, one can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to a certain extent to attack. The lifespan is about 300 years.

As for the fourth stage, Lianxu Hedao, it refers to the gods who have mastered a law, they can also be called land immortals. There can be countless cultivators who have achieved Lianxu Hedao, but there can only be 49 people who can achieve Lianxu Hedao, because only those who have obtained the destiny are qualified to enter the stage of Lianxu Hedao.

Once they step into the state of refining the void and uniting the Dao, they are fundamentally different from ordinary people. They do not need to eat, but in fact, in order to achieve the state of refining the void and uniting the Dao, they must have a strong collective to support them. The force can be a dynasty or a city, because what they feed on is the luck of humanity, and their own strength is also related to the strength of the forces under their command.

To put it simply, if you want to become a god, you must first obtain the Mandate of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven is actually a scattered part of the Way of Heaven. Gods eat air, and this air is the destiny of humanity. They must protect the forces under their command and make them increasingly powerful. The more popular they are, the more feedback they will give to the gods.

However, due to the weakness of the world itself, gods will also die of old age. The basic lifespan of Lianxu Hedao is 500 years, but they can extend their lifespan by consuming the luck of the dynasty.

However, Tiandao did not grant immortality to these forty-nine gods. The more important reason was that Tiandao himself was too weak. He could no longer feed himself. The self-explosion of Tiandao had caused him to lose too many things. Only some of the wreckage escaped. He had even forgotten the existence of Zagreus.

If he had not met Zagreus, he would have created a prosperous era, and then harvested its luck at the most prosperous moment of this era. The luck of a prosperous era can extend the life of the world itself for a thousand years, but as a price, without luck, this era will be destroyed, and the way of heaven itself will have to start from scratch again.

The broken Heavenly Dao today has forgotten Zagreus, but still knows the method of harvesting luck. It's just that the current Heavenly Dao no longer has the ability to harvest an era, so he created forty-nine Destinies. The so-called Destiny is actually the fragments of the core of the world. These fragments are also necessary conditions for people to break through to become gods.
