Chapter 1172: Chapter 657: There are Many Paths in the Multiverse_2
But if the veil is pierced, even if it’s not directly connected into one piece, entering the Fairy Wilderness through the veil of Rockland Tears Lake and reaching the location of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is only a mere one hundred and twenty kilometers away.
This is still considered relatively conventional, a localized usage in Felen.
What is now surging in Gaven’s mind is an unprecedented idea, merely thinking about it sends shivers down his own spine.
The legend of the Mystic Witch and the seven Goblins has fully proven the malleability of the Ether Plane, where reality and illusion can form the most perfect combination. Could he, using such legendary stories and his increasingly formidable influence in paving roads, sculpt a path in the Ether Plane that traverses the entire continent, and even connect different continents? It could span mountains, or even lakes and oceans; all obstacles of the Material Plane would not affect it.
But considering the various dangers present in the Ether Plane (such as unique environmental Traps and various Ether Monsters), which are fatal to ordinary people, this path should not appear in the form of a highway, but rather as a railway. This form not only effectively protects the safety of passengers, but also facilitates widespread dwarfization, while simultaneously concentrating the belief and intentions of hundreds of people to in turn protect the safety of the train.
Just like the Conqueror Path, if it weren’t for Gaven leading the Conqueror Army, simply forging such a path through the wilderness would not yield such significant influence and subsequent benefits.
Not merely an Ether Train, but in those steep and rugged mountains, why not build Ether Tunnels?
Gaven has tasted the convenience of faith in bridge construction on the Goblin Margins and knows that if utilized well, belief can be an unimaginably huge force, which in turn affects reality.
If he wants to base his ascendency to godhood on the Divine Position of Road Clergy, he must not rely solely on the paths of the real world, as they can be targeted and destroyed by human means. But if he creates an entirely new conceptual thing, as long as this concept continues to be used, as long as new paths are built, whether by his hand or not, they can provide him with belief, provide him with Strength. This is the prowess of a conceptual God.
Besides, what about sea routes? Inland water transportation? Aerial paths? A network of Portals is also a kind of path, which is not limited to this Plane, but can also extend to other Material Planes and even the entire Multiverse. As long as one dares to think and act, this Road Clergy will have great potential to tap into, and if understood thoroughly, claiming Strong Divine Power might be too bold, but Intermediate Divine Power is definitely attainable.
It is also a Clergy that leans towards neutrality, and as such, can establish connections with many True Gods.
For example, Mount Dakor, the God of Wander and Exploration, would certainly favor him, since good paths enable him to travel and explore more easily. However, there’s also a possibility that Dakor would want to seize the Road Clergy to truly embody the title of God of the Road. One should not think of the True Gods as too benevolent, nor assume that because Dakor helped Gaven to raise a Bridge of Faith, their relationship is now close and intimate. Previously, their interests aligned. If Dakor sees sufficient benefit in it, seizing it is not uncommon. The gods are rife with betrayal and infighting, vying not for ordinary wealth but for Divine Nature, Godhood, Divine Positions, and Believers.
For example, Woken, the Goddess of Wealth, her dependency on roads even surpasses that of Mount Dakor.
Then there’s Lady Strategy, who is currently closest to Gaven, as well as the War God Faction behind her. With the advancement of modern warfare, their demand for roads will significantly increase. Whoever controls more convenient modes of transportation holds the advantage in war, making long-distance, large-scale troop deployments a reality.
Even many Evil Deities, seeking development and more Believers, must value the Road Clergy, including those who seem to have destruction as their sole purpose, such as Talona, the Goddess of Poison and Disease (since with convenient transportation, many diseases and plagues are no longer confined to one place, and can infect not just a whole continent but an entire planet or even the entire Multiverse); and Beshaba, the Goddess of Misfortune (traffic accidents and various unexpected incidents all fall within her jurisdiction).
In other words, they don’t need to do anything; as the roads develop, their power will rise with the tide. This is the advantage of pioneering new Divine Positions, which triggers a chain reaction, disrupting the current godly order; those who benefit naturally side with the new, and those who are affected will strongly oppose.
The Road Clergy holds the advantage in this affair, as the number of Gods in favor will surely far exceed those against.
Philancy, unaware that a single comment of hers could lead Gaven to such extrapolation, was concluding her analysis and said to Gaven: "There is good news and bad news, which one would you like to hear?"
"What’s the good news?"
"The good news is that replicating the analysis of this Spell is not difficult, and once the analysis is complete, it is a third-rings Spell; it’s not difficult to master."
