I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 123 --The Legendary Dantean Hell

Although none of his current devotees were suited for it, the Doppelgänger Spell was incredibly profound—perhaps other deities might be interested.

After all, while his own followers lacked the unique spiritual condition required, that might not be the case for other gods.

With that in mind, Owen immediately used divine points to replicate the contents of the resentful rune and posted it on the Trading Channel.

Now that the Godhood ranks of the various deities were getting higher and their territories ever larger, the items being sold had grown increasingly diverse—bizarre even.

Whether common or rare, practically everything could be found on the Trading Channel.

Items like skills and spells were frequently sold there. Once a transaction was completed, the buyer could make a single copy for personal use, though resale of the copy was prohibited.

After uploading the unique Doppelgänger Spell to the system, it was quickly verified and approved.

As for the final price, Owen thought it over and decided to list it for 100 divine points, just to test the waters.

Too high a price would scare off buyers, especially since the Doppelgänger Spell had considerable limitations and wasn’t useful to most gods.

The key, however, was that skills like this—being spell-type items—could be replicated indefinitely by the seller.

Which meant that if the spell became popular among deities, Owen could mass-produce it for sale.

Once all that was done, he resumed crafting his Hellish Artifacts—currently the fastest way for him to earn divine points.

But not long after he started forging, a system notification suddenly popped up.

"[Doppelgänger Spell] has been sold."

"So fast?"

Owen was pleasantly surprised. It had barely been listed for any time and it already sold—clearly, it had a market!

Without hesitation, he channeled more divine points into the rune and created ten more copies of the Doppelgänger Spell, listing them again at the same price of 100 divine points each.

"But wait... this kind of spell is likely a secret art of the Church. Is it really okay for me to sell it so blatantly?"

As soon as he put the listings up, a thought of caution crept into Owen’s mind.

Though the St. Peter’s Cathedral had been destroyed, there were still other powerful churches elsewhere.

In this pre-deity era, churches had long been the center of faith for most people, commanding numerous top-tier awakeners and forming vast power structures.

If a sacred spell like this spread too widely, it could indeed invite trouble.

But then Owen shook his head.

If it spread, so what? What did that have to do with him?

All he cared about was earning divine points!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Owen looked at the glowing prompt on his system interface:

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the first-stage Divine Growth Task!]

Without hesitation, he chose to claim the reward.

Instantly, beams of light materialized before him:

One Lv.3 Rich Soil ScrollOne Bloodline Upgrade Scroll200 Beginner Awakening Scrolls50 Mid-tier Awakening Scrolls10 Advanced Awakening Scrolls2 Superior Awakening Scrolls1,000 divine points

The dense array of rewards made Owen’s face glow with a golden sheen, and he couldn’t suppress the wide smile spreading across his face.

"I now have 400 beginner awakening scrolls..."

"84 mid-tier scrolls..."

"20 advanced, and 3 superior..."

After calculating, Owen was quite pleased with the total.

He had no intention of handing them out to his devotees just yet. Instead, he planned to unleash all of them during a major sacrificial ceremony—an explosive display!

After all, a continuous stream of blessings could never match the shock and awe of a sudden, divine outpouring!

Normally, only his grade-C devotees might catch his attention. For the rest, they would just have to wait for the next grand ritual.

This also helped solidify his mystique and divine majesty in their hearts.

"In addition to the Awakening Scrolls, I also now have three Enhanced Farmland Scrolls, and one Lv.3 Rich Soil Scroll."

"With the Rich Soil Scroll, I can plant many herbs that help with rank advancement. That way, even if more and more awakeners appear, they’ll still be able to level up quickly."

"Most importantly... I now have a Bloodline Upgrade Scroll!"

"Once I use that, all of my devotees’ bloodlines will receive a massive enhancement!"

At that point, the levels and combat power of everyone in Annasi Town would skyrocket.

He planned to reveal all of this after the sacrificial ceremony.

Once the ceremony concluded, it would mark the beginning of the Divine War.

Thinking of that, Owen sighed.

"When the Divine War begins... how many gods will fall?"

"But it doesn’t matter how many perish. With these resources, I won’t be one of them!"

He then turned his attention to the Stage Two Divine Growth Task.

Task Description:

Now that you have become a 2-Star Ancient God, you’ve begun to understand the true dangers of this realm. Every large-scale ascension attracts the gaze of celestial watchers. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Meanwhile, Aberrations possess command over Order. You’ve decided to venture into true hell, where perhaps, beyond the mortal realm, greater truths lie hidden.

Objective: Enter the legendary [Dantean Hell].

Reward: A thread of Dantean Hell’s Rune, 3,000 divine points.

"Dantean Hell?"

Owen blinked in surprise. Naturally, he knew of the infamous inferno.

It resembled an hourglass-shaped abyss with 13 layers—the deeper one went, the greater the sin, and the more horrifying the danger.

Even just hearing the name was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

As a deity, Owen instinctively felt a strong aversion to the Dantean Hell.

In this era where spellbeasts roam freely and Aberrations are everywhere, who knew how terrifying that hell might be?

And now, the system wanted him to enter it? Was that even sane?

But then he glanced at the reward: 3,000 divine points and a thread of Dantean Hell’s Rune—both incredibly tempting.

Although he had developed his own Divine Order Hell, it only took effect within his domain, and only for his own devotees.

Moreover, even his Divine Order Hell was based on the template of Dantean Hell.

Dantean Hell was the origin of all hells.

If he could acquire even a single thread of its rune, the boost to his power would be enormous.

He didn’t yet know exactly what the Dantean Hell Rune could do,

but the name alone was enough to make the mightiest beings of this world tremble.

"Still, to be cautious, I’d better wait until I reach 2-Star Peak Ancient God before attempting it."

After some thought, Owen decided to hold off for now.

After all, there was no time limit on the task.

The stronger he became, the safer his venture into Dantean Hell would be.
