Chapter 513: Chapter 470 Unrestrained Enjoyment of Freedom_3

Aige’s expression changed; she had indeed overlooked this point, instinctively wanting to seek help from Amberser when trouble arose.

Amberser felt something was amiss after hearing this, wasn’t the Guild Leader supposed to help?

Amberser asked, "Guild Leader, the situation is critical, can’t we think of a way to get through this trouble first? For deification, we can proceed step by step."

Last time, Aige had relied on herself, which resulted in offending the Mermaid Goddess Yizhuoluo. She could have ascended easily, but she ended up making a long detour instead.

Now, letting Aige handle it alone again, Amberser worried she would make another mistake and lose her chance to become a Deity completely.

However, Aige had already let go of Amberser’s palm.

Shells and barnacles, which had mostly disappeared, reappeared on her ghost ship, and the Kuotuo Murlocs’ faith began eroding her body and soul once again.

Amberser said excitedly, "Wait, how much longer can you hold on like this? Grab my hand, at least until you come up with a solution!"

If Aige failed now, it would all be a loss for Amberser’s prior investments.

Shells and tentacles started twisting on Aige’s face, but her expression remained calm as she said to Amberser, "No need, if I can’t figure it out now, I believe Aeo won’t recognize my efforts. Sorry, I might disappoint you, but this is a trial I must complete."

After saying this, Aige looked towards the Guild Leader and asked, "Thank you for your guidance back then."

The Guild Leader nodded, saying calmly, "I have witnessed countless mortals ascend to divinity and numerous Deities fall; there is no clear distinction between the two. Aige, I believe you can do it, as long as you understand what kind of Deity you want to become, Aeo will surely respond."

"What kind of Deity do I want to become?" Aige murmured to herself; after a moment, she looked up.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the sea, reaching the boundless starry sky.

"I will carry on my father’s will, to sail to any place in the world, to see all the magnificent scenery, nothing can stop me.

Perhaps, that is freedom. If possible, I want to bring true freedom to everyone in the world, to let them break all chains and barriers, and never be lost..."

Aige murmured softly; suddenly, her eyes lit up with a bright light, and she said excitedly, "I understand now."

Aige’s body became increasingly twisted, already covered by those strange beings.

But at this moment, she felt no pain; her ghost ship began to ascend rapidly towards the surface.

Then, it broke through the boundary between ocean and sky.

The massive ghost ship flew into the sky, radiating a dazzling light beneath the stars.

"All who believe in me, I share this freedom with you, may you never be bound, may you no longer be ruled by chaos, and find your true selves!"

Aige’s voice became ethereal, spreading like a song.

An invisible voice resonated, spreading at an incredible speed.

At this moment, the Kuotuo Murlocs, who were continuously providing the Power of Faith to Aige under the control of Brivodoup, heard her voice.

It was the response from the Deity they "believed" in.

Moments later, Amberser saw Aige’s body gradually returning to its original state, the bizarre and twisted beings swiftly receding, eventually completely reverting to her original form.

Perhaps with a slight difference, though Amberser couldn’t quite tell.

"Well done!"

Amberser couldn’t help but praise; Aige, in return, used the Power of Faith to communicate the oracle to all the Kuotuo Murlocs who believed in her.

Faith is the channel that connects believers with the Deity, and since Aige could receive the Power of Faith, she naturally could communicate with the Kuotuo Murlocs, although previously she had been preoccupied with maintaining her self-consciousness, constantly resisting the chaotic thoughts of these Kuotuo Murlocs, thus remaining in a passive state of acceptance.

But in that instant, Aige gave up resisting, fully embracing those chaotic thoughts and sending her own "divine oracles" to every Kuotuo Murloc that prayed to her.

This is the way Deities communicate with believers, the most direct and most sacred method of communication.

Aige did not issue any commands to them, only sharing the principles she abided by with all the Kuotuo Murlocs.

In that moment, they truly became Aige’s believers, their chaotic thoughts anchored by the "freedom" bestowed by Aige; these Kuotuo Murlocs started to ponder what "self" meant, which was the revelation given by the Deity.

And at that moment, the vast power of faith vanished.

Amberser guessed that Brivodoup had utilized his racial god power, forcibly making these Kuotao Murlocs stop their prayers and commanding them to cease worshipping Aige.

It must be said, such an action was truly insane.

Both sides were walking a tightrope; if Aige had been overwhelmed by the Kuotao Murlocs’ chaotic thoughts before she issued the divine oracle, she would have been doomed, completely becoming nourishment for Brivodoup.

And if Brivodoup was unable to cut off the Kuotao Murlocs’ prayers to Aige at the last moment, then these Kuotao Murlocs would have truly become Aige’s followers, serving as a great assistance to her deification.

Now it seems neither side suffered losses, but in reality, it was Aige who won.

Not only did Aige clarify the path she was treading, but she also moved a step closer to deification; more importantly, she had resolved this crisis by herself, likely already having earned Aeo’s approval.

Once her power was fully accumulated, it seemed there would be no more obstacles on her road to deification.

Amberser, feeling joyous, was about to engage more with the Guild Leader, but when he turned around, he found that the old man had disappeared again, just as he had appeared.

So mysterious.

What a pity, Amberser had wanted to chat a bit more, and also ask about the other uses of the Divine Artifact Ring.

"Thank you."

Aige’s voice came through, and Amberser could only let go of his regrets and congratulate her, "Congratulations, you have successfully navigated this crisis. The God above Gods must be very pleased with your performance, right?"

Aige shook her head and said, "I don’t know, I will only find out the day I truly become a Deity. But that’s no longer important, I have found my path and will no longer waver. For all of this, I thank you."

Amberser smiled bitterly, "I really didn’t do much."

"No, from the beginning, you have been helping me. If it weren’t for confirming the truth about my father’s death, I couldn’t have made up my mind to seek Aeo’s favor. Later, you helped me search for the Mermaid Goddess, devised plans after my failure, and brought so many followers by taking over this domain for me. You brought the ring that could gather the Divine Realm, appeared at my most dangerous moment, giving me time to think."

Gazing at Amberser’s face, Aige seriously said, "I have never interacted normally with another person, I don’t know how to thank you. I can only promise that if I successfully become a Deity, I am willing to share half of my Divine Power with you. And from today onwards, everything of the Silent Night Pirate Group belongs to you."

"That’s very kind of you, but I really don’t know much about running pirates," Amberser said politely.

"Including two undersea gold veins that were just discovered," Aige added.

Amberser then sincerely said, "If I refuse your kindness, I would be disrespecting you. Rest assured, I won’t betray your trust."

Aige smiled lightly, stunningly beautiful under the starry sky, making Amberser pause.

Is this the power of a Deity? Not yet fully stepped into the realm of Deities, but her charm could even influence a Lich?

The entire time, Hake Stone, who was observing, took up his pen, carefully watching the scene unfold.

After much thought, he eventually forgot the several-thousand-word essay he had concocted in his mind, and honestly wrote down in his notebook: "In the dead of winter, under the boundless starry sky, I witnessed the birth of a Deity. Yet even the true god’s brilliance couldn’t overshadow the splendor he carries. Lich Diga Ultraman, with a mortal’s body, stands shoulder to shoulder with Deities."
