Chapter 4678 4681 [The Secret of Becoming a God]
"Okay, who made me really like you." Astarte nodded and told the secret of becoming a god, "To become a god, you must first choose a suitable priesthood, then design your own title, and finally develop your own believers."
"Priesthood?" Xiang Nan continued to ask.
"Yes, it is best to have a priesthood that matches yourself, and it is a priesthood that no one chooses, so it is easy to become a god." Astarte explained, "I started out as a god of love, and no one chose this priesthood, so I quickly became a god. After that, I expanded my influence and slowly became the moon god, the god of death, and the god of war."
"What about the title?" Xiang Nan asked hurriedly.
"Only a precise title can allow believers to locate you. For example, my title is the mysterious moon god, the symbol of war, the destination of death, and the master of love!" Astarte explained,
"As long as you recite my title, you can contact me, and I can also sense him. As for my name, it is not important,"
"I see." Xiang Nan nodded.
"The most difficult thing is to develop believers." Astarte explained, "In the beginning, in order to develop believers, I even had to do it myself, until there were more believers."
"Don't go into details so much." Xiang Nan curled her lips.
"Oh, my little man is angry." Astarte smiled when she saw this.
"Apart from these three things, are there any other precautions?" Xiang Nan ignored her teasing and continued to ask.
"When you have a title, a priesthood, and believers, you have to promote a major event that matches your title and priesthood." Astarte nodded, "If this event goes well, then you will be recognized and become a real god from now on. Otherwise, you still need to work hard."
"Big event?" Xiang Nan was a little confused, "How do I know what big event it is?"
"When you have done these three things, there will be a natural induction." Astarte explained, "I became the god of love by matching a thousand men and women to get married at the same time."
"So simple?!" Xiang Nan said in surprise.
It's too easy to become a god after only one thousand couples get married.
"I became a god six thousand years ago. How many people were there in the world at that time?" Astarte asked him back when he heard him say that.
Xiang Nan suddenly realized.
Six thousand years ago, about eight thousand years before history, humans were probably still in the Neolithic Age. At that time, the world's population was estimated to be only a few hundred thousand, and the Middle East was estimated to be only a few tens of thousands.
It was not easy for Astarte to match a thousand couples to get married.
"That's really amazing. Thank you for your advice." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Then why don't you come and repay me." Astarte heard him say that and immediately hugged him tightly.
...
After returning to the world of the living, Xiang Nan considered becoming a god.
The first is to choose a priesthood that suits him.
He looked through the Egyptian pantheon, the Roman pantheon, the Greek pantheon, the Babylonian pantheon, the Mesopotamian pantheon, etc., and carefully looked at the priesthoods of the gods.
Then, based on his own strengths, he finally identified a priesthood, which is the God of Wealth.
Whether it is the Egyptian pantheon, the Roman pantheon, the Greek pantheon, the Babylonian pantheon, or the Mesopotamian pantheon, they are all polytheistic pantheons.
There are many gods in each pantheon, such as the Egyptian pantheon, which has more than 2,000 gods, and the Greek pantheon, which has hundreds of gods...
And it is all-encompassing, there are natural gods such as the sky god, the sun god, the moon god, the sea god, the mountain god, the river god, and animal gods such as lions, scorpions, jackals, cheetahs, and hippos;
There are gods closely related to humans such as the god of fertility, the god of abundance, the god of craftsmen, the god of art, the god of wisdom, the god of travel, and the god of the kitchen...
It can be said that these gods almost cover everything about human beings and nature, and many priesthoods have more than one god. For example, the god of death exists in each pantheon, and there is even more than one.
But there is a priesthood that no one has grabbed yet, and that is the God of Wealth.
In the Egyptian pantheon, Greek pantheon, Roman pantheon, Babylonian pantheon, and Mesopotamian pantheon, there are gods of fertility and commerce, but they have no direct relationship with wealth.
Just like Hermes is the protector of merchants, but he does not guarantee that merchants will get rich; Demeter is the god of fertility and goddess of agriculture. He can bless people with a good harvest, but he does not give money directly.
Therefore, Xiang Nan decided to be a "God of Wealth".
...
After choosing the priesthood, Xiang Nan thought of a specific title for himself.
The immortal who sees through everything, the passerby of countless worlds, the king of kings in Egypt, the generous god of wealth.
This title should be able to point to him, after all, there can be no one else among the three options of "immortal", "passerby", and "king of kings".
Then Xiang Nan began to give money everywhere to attract believers for himself.
That night, a peddler named Atum in Thebes was crying secretly. He was the son of a small landlord, and because he had no inheritance rights, he came out to do business early.
No mistakes, just read the content of the first 6-9 book!
But because of bad luck, not only did he lose money in business, but he also owed a debt. Apart from selling himself as a slave, he had almost no other way to survive, so he cried secretly.
At this time, a man with golden light on his body descended from the sky and said to him gently, "Dear Atum, I am the god of wealth. I sensed your misfortune and came to help you. Take it."
As he said this, he handed over a bag.
Atum took it and saw that it was full of fine gold sand, which was enough to weigh one deben, or two taels. Not only was it enough to repay his debts, but it also gave him the capital to turn things around.
"Thank you for your great kindness, I really appreciate it." Atum immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him, "May I ask your name? I will remember it in my heart, and I will find ways to return it in the future."
"Remember, I am 'the immortal who sees through everything, the passer-by of countless worlds, the king of kings in Egypt, and the generous god of wealth.' Read my title, and I will bless you to make a fortune." The man said.
Atum immediately remembered it in his heart.
...
And there are countless people like Atum who have received gifts and solved their urgent needs.
Therefore, soon, the title of the god of wealth began to spread in Thebes and even Egypt.
Many people who longed for wealth prayed to him, hoping to receive gifts.
And their prayers were indeed sensed by Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan followed suit, and despite all the hardships, he delivered the wealth to these people overnight.
This also made these people very excited.
They didn't expect that they would actually receive gifts just by reciting the god's title.
So they recited the title even louder.
After seeing this scene, others followed suit.
For a time, Xiang Nan's followers increased greatly.
And at this time, he also knew his "chance to become a god", which was to create a worthless coin, but it would allow millions of people to compete to use it.
