Mysterious Tribulation

It's a god seed!

Or God Seed...Is this the secret of empowerment?

Pour the god seed directly into the body of the ordained person, wait until it takes root and sprouts, and when it matures and bears fruit, can it be harvested?

I feel that this may be more miserable than the gods harvesting the souls of believers and making them petitioners...

Aaron felt the change of Erha, and the seal of both hands changed, forming the fearless lion seal, and immediately gave birth to boundless power.

hoohoo!

Erha in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A ray of Aaron's spirit manifested, directly appearing in the image of riding a lion, rushing towards the two-headed and four-armed 'Ferocious Wolf-Headed Vajra Protector'!

Ow!

The 'Ferocious Wolf-Headed King Kong Dharma Protector' was furious, and each arm smashed at Aaron with terrifying power.

Fighting with 【Weak Divine Power】, even if Aaron is a 【False God】 is useless.

Some powerful demigods may be able to defeat [weak divine power], or even the incarnation of [weak divine power] or even the form of a saint in the material world, but Aaron cannot.

However, he has another way!

Moo!

Aaron put his hands in a 'sun seal' and placed it on his forehead. In the dark, there was a faint glow of the sun!

——【The Great Sun Tathagata】!

It is the master of all the gods and spirits of the esoteric religion, and they want them to be born! Die if you want them!

Lord God?

The will of the Fighting Wolf-headed King Kong Dharma Protector exclaimed, and was immediately melted by the infinite sunlight, leaving only a dark golden seed.

Aaron stretched out his hand and twisted the god seed in his hand, and an infinite light fell down, wiping out all the strange auras in it.

- Purify!

The breath and backhand of that dog-headed King Kong have been erased. He doesn't know what happened here, but he still regards Erha as his devout fanatic!

...

Aaron's consciousness escaped Erha's mind and looked at the direwolf cub in front of him.

The direwolf pup, noticeably smarter, came over and licked Aaron's trousers affectionately.

Okay... This 'twin' is complete. In the future, if I want to cast the secret mantra mantra, I can use it to cover... The dog-headed King Kong can't find anything abnormal. Even if it does, it will just take my dog's life. It won't hurt me in the slightest!

Aaron grabbed Erha by the back of his neck and said, You're a good dog too... You have a god-seed, and the future is vast and limitless... The premise is that you don't get discovered.

Erha was ignorant and didn't know what the master was talking about, so he could only stick out his tongue to please.

Aaron placed it on the ground and turned it on its back, revealing its snow-white belly, reaffirming its obedience.

While playing with pets, he is still brooding.

Through this act similar to blaspheming a priest this time, he also became more aware of the esoteric practice system of [Dainichi Tathagata].

The current teachings of that one are very strict... The choice of deity for worship will lead to a completely different status of believers.

The gods of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are higher than Arhats and Dharma protectors!

It's set in stone from the start, and it's almost impossible to change!

Besides, after empowerment, no matter what kind of scriptures are practiced, there are actually only three steps of effort: generating Bodhicitta, establishing the view of emptiness, and realizing the Tathagata Treasure!

Aaron was thinking about the tantra scriptures when a prompt sounded:

[You have obtained a special expertise - 'Bodhicitta'! 】

[Bodhicitta: Perception +1! 】

...

Looking at the prompt in the attribute bar, Aaron couldn't help but be speechless: I haven't empowered myself yet, I haven't yet esoteric practice deity...

But the perception can be stronger, which is good.

The attribute points here are different from those in the previous world, and every additional point is almost double the improvement!

And after 20 points of transcendence, each point of improvement is more rare.

Above 30 points, almost only high-level legends and gods can touch it.

As for points above 40, it almost has the power to destroy the continent!

Aaron got a little attribute for nothing, so he was naturally rather happy, but after comprehending the view of emptiness, he felt a little bit of a headache.

Observing emptiness is not empty... The so-called view of emptiness, in esoteric teaching, is to cultivate oneself into a trace of divinity of the deity...

The various cultivation and perfusion before the deity of many secret cultivators... is actually feeding the pigs!

Wait until the establishment of emptiness sees that this step is successful, then it can be slaughtered.

The method of cultivating emptiness, in this world, is the method of cultivating divinity!

how...

The path of esoteric practitioners went astray at the beginning, and they were controlled by the deity of esoteric practice and planted the seeds of gods.

When the 'divine nature' is cultivated, there will be a great terror!

Its esoteric deity can even chew them with divinity!

In the face of the gods they believe in, those [red-robed monks] have no resistance at all!

Of course, it is also possible that they licked well, enshrined other people to offset their share, or those gods wanted to raise a little fatter, so they held back and didn't eat it, and waited until they realized that the Tathagata is hidden and it is more delicious!

All in all, it is impossible to escape the fate of the fat pig...

I can't practice this 'view of emptiness'...

After all, Aaron has not really empowered himself, so he cannot use the secret teaching method to practice 'emptiness view', or... even if he deceives one at will, such as King Kong, but he cultivates the divinity of the same origin as the other party, and the movement is a bit big. must attract attention.

Yes……

What makes 'empty view' more brilliant than the aboriginal divinity is that it is rooted and sprouted by relying on the seed of the gods, and the divinity it has cultivated is not the 'heavenly divine nature' that the aborigines say completely fits itself, but a close fit. Repair the deity's road!

It is useless for Aaron to take a gnoll's divinity, and he has to spend his strength to wash away the brand and change his nature.

As for the last step... Tathagata? After all, it's just a dream bubble...

The so-called Tathagata is the Buddha... that is, ascending to the throne of the true god...

If you want food to be eaten or not, you have to become a master... It's not that there is no hope, but it is extremely slim.

Even if the believers of the indigenous gods are cut off the leeks, they will turn into petitioners and rest with the gods, while the tantric gods have even planed the leeks roots and devoured them directly, leaving no blood... It's so miserable!

After Aaron sighed that the practitioners under the command of the outer gods were really miserable, he didn't have much interest in esoteric practice for the time being, and instead turned to his own attribute column.

I killed a lot of direwolf in these days, plus the previous goblins, just enough to level up!

Attribute bar! Upgrade!

【Ding! 】

[Your bard level has been raised to level 9! 】

[Get 1 free attribute point! 】

【Get 20 skill points! 】

[Comprehend professional skills - the sound of rhythm! 】

...

Free attribute points are very precious, and one free attribute point can be obtained for every two occupation levels of common occupations.

And it is said that some powerful legendary occupations can get an attribute point by upgrading one level!

Aaron's bard, at odd levels, can gain a free attribute point.

The skill points are relatively common. With a flick of his hand, he added them to storytelling and magical creation.

As for the precious attribute point, Aaron thought about it and added it to his intelligence.

Even though the magic net has collapsed, he still has the heart of a master!

At this point, his property bar becomes:

【Name: Aaron】

...

Intelligence is already 19 points. If you add a little more, you can get the Specialty of Extraordinary Intelligence... Although the mage doesn't have to do it, I feel that I can become an arcanist!

Wait, why is the secret mantra becoming my professional skill? Even though I use my mouth to cast spells...but...the attribute column can't be mistaken? I don't want to be a monk...

Aaron complained in his heart.

...

a few days later.

The Nutcracker's caravan has drawn ever closer to the city of Kahn.

Reclaimed farmland and villages can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and the route has become safer.

Not to mention humanoids, even large beasts have become extremely rare.

Karn City is the commercial capital of the Ice and Snow Country. I have long wanted to go shopping.

When the team was resting, Wendy, who had finished practicing swordsmanship, had a look of longing on his face, and said to Aaron who was playing the dog.

Well... I also want to go to those secret shops, at least buy a space bag...

Aaron nodded: And then there's the harp, the organ, the lyre, the flute...

The wolf bone flute was lost by Aaron after he used it to blow up the heads of many goblins.

After all, the blood of goblins was very smelly, and the smell persisted for a long time, so he was too lazy to wash it.

On the contrary, Wendy liked it very much. He eagerly picked it up, washed it and sent it back. After finding that Aaron didn't want it, he happily kept it by himself. Every day, I could hear him playing a wolf-like music - which almost caused Wendy to be covered. Get a slap on the sack.

Even Aaron had to admit, after coaching a few times, that this kid of Kimo blood had no musical talent.

People in our village also love music, and Mr. Aaron would be very welcome if he went.

Wendy Road.

If you have a chance, you must go!

Aaron smiled back.

But he didn't have much fluctuation in his heart.

[Pseudo God] The biggest difference from a true god is that there is no godhead value, nor does he hold the throne high to form his own kingdom of gods.

At the same time, although the [pseudo-god] is not as powerful as the true god, and does not have the ability to incarnate a god, but even if all the believers die, they will not fall to the throne for this reason-because they did not go up in the first place!

The faith of the Kimo people is not so important to Aaron anymore.

It's just that based on the beliefs over the years and the increase in the weak divinity, he will take care of the Kimo people a little bit, that's all.

Just as Aaron spoke, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance thoughtfully.

It didn't take long for a black spot to appear, getting bigger and bigger.

It was a pitch-black eagle, passing over the Shangdao and the village in a low voice, and a thick man's voice sounded.

- Amplification!

There are demons fleeing in the direction of the frozen Grand Canyon coming to the vicinity of Kahn, alert! Alert!

His high-pitched voice was clearly heard by everyone on the ground.

Those ploughing farmers were stunned, and immediately threw away their agricultural tools, went to the rural warehouse, and took out weapons to equip themselves.

Although they are not strong, they can also be used as 'militias', and there may even be retired professionals hidden in them.

And the caravan started to riot: Leave, immediately... It's no longer safe here, we have to get to Karn City as soon as possible!

The hysterical voice of the captain of the guard came.

Wendy's expression was a little sluggish, and then he said: The giant eagle just now...

Is it a high-level druid...or a druid's advanced class-'transformation druid'!

Aaron nodded: These druids specialize in wildness and transformation. The giant eagle just now was transformed into a druid. It should have the strength of a high-level professional...

Wild way!

This is the path many druids choose.

Among them, the truly powerful legendary shapeshifters are even said to be able to transform into dragons, even ancient dragons!

Well... It is said that the Frozen Rift Valley defense line was built by a group of Druids organized by the church of the 'Father of Nature'...

Wendy's expression also became serious and nervous: 'But those damn evil people always cross the defense line and attack the villages and towns in the rear...'

It can be seen that although the village and the caravan are busy, they are obviously very experienced in dealing with such infiltration attacks.

This is a wartime country!

...

Kahn City.

Outside the city, there was an unexpected long queue.

They are all people who are going to take refuge in the city.

Aaron even saw elves, dwarves, halflings...even drow!

In the past, I saw a race that was bound to be divided into two groups, but at this time, in addition to being cold-eyed, I was able to maintain restraint.

This is obviously because of a powerful foreign enemy!

Aaron even felt a hint of the devil's breath from the crowd!

Well, compared to the many demon lords who all turned to the [Dari Tathagata], the devil's life is getting worse and worse.

'If [Dari Tathagata] leaves this crystal wall system, it is guaranteed that people in the entire city will fight each other in the next moment...'

Aaron thought wickedly.

At this time, the captain of the caravan came back and told everyone a bad news: I have inquired... This is not the occasional infiltration of the enemy, but the eastern defense line of the frozen Great Rift Valley was briefly broken through! Although It was recaptured after that, but a large number of demons have poured into the northern border of the kingdom!

demon!

For a time, the expressions of everyone in the caravan changed drastically.
