Chapter 28 The Difference Between Ascension to Godhood and God-Making
When teased by Nangong Lili, Lü Yao didn't dodge or avoid the question, but responded directly, "Then you've hit the jackpot."
Nangong Lili scoffed, "I'm not exactly a worthless piece of trash, okay?"
Lu Yao pointed to Nangong Lili's chest: "Tell me."
Nangong Lili pouted: "My heart and lungs have been damaged due to the side effects of the enhancement drug. The damage to my heart is more severe, and now it's entirely dependent on a pacemaker to keep it functioning."
Lu Yao nodded: "Were the enhancement supplements you used from legitimate sources?"
Nangong Lili lowered her head: "No."
Lü Yao understood.
Before he transmigrated, many people in the bodybuilding world were using veterinary drugs to help them achieve physical and physical ascension.
So much so that even if a certain internet celebrity called "Deathstroke" posts once a day, he can't keep up with the rate at which bodybuilding legends die.
Later, the opening line "Bad news from the bodybuilding world" gradually became a popular internet meme.
Outside of the bodybuilding world, the medical aesthetics industry and even the weight loss industry have all started to embrace technology. Some women who want to lose weight are choosing to inject needles directly into their abdomen instead of dieting and exercising.
In the natural biosphere, humans are indeed legendary in their resistance to toxins.
It's human nature to choose unsafe technological enhancements in order to become stronger or more beautiful, but one must bear the consequences.
Nangong Lili lowered her head and stubbornly said, "My family isn't well-off. I want to make something of myself. I don't want to spend my whole life kneeling on the ground fighting for food! Tell me! What can I do if I don't take stronger, more potent supplements?"
Lu Yao remained noncommittal, simply saying, "I can cure your illness."
Nangong Lili suddenly looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, and stared at Lü Yao: "How much?"
Lü Yao smiled and said, "I'll ask my senior for the money."
Nangong Lili was stunned for a moment, then a smile gradually appeared in her eyes. She suddenly wiped away her tears and even happily wrapped her arms around Lü Yao's neck: "Wow, you really are getting more and more beautiful now~~"
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned over and kissed Lü Yao on the cheek: "mua~~".
She got off Lü Yao, put her hands behind her back, raised her eyebrows at Lü Yao, and said, "This is a gift from your sister~"
She was quite pleased with the fact that she could swindle money from Lin Meiting to pay for her medical treatment.
Lu Yao wiped the moisture from his cheek and said with a smile, "Take me to see where you live."
Nangong Lili grinned mischievously, "Wow~ you're going to sleep with me in my house?"
"It's very dirty and messy."
"Or is this your preferred style? To torture me mercilessly in the garbage dump?"
Lu Yao completely ignored this guy's rambling nonsense and followed Nangong Lili up the stairs to the top floor attic, where he saw the guy's living environment.
Nangong Lili was right; the place she lived in was indeed very dirty and messy.
Used fast food containers, packaging bags, and even used electronic toys that hadn't been put away were scattered everywhere...
Lu Yao pursed his lips and said with some difficulty, "Originally, I was thinking of having you stay at my tavern. I've almost finished cleaning up the attic on the top floor..."
Nangong Lili immediately raised both hands in agreement: "Yay!"
Lu Yao pinched the bridge of his nose: "But now I'm starting to regret it."
Nangong Lili, filled with joy but also with malice, chuckled and said, "Hehe~ It's too late."
Lu Yao lowered his head and said sullenly, "Why don't you just rot here?"
While packing her things, Nangong Lili leaned close to Lü Yao and said smugly, "I won't."
finally.
Carrying two large suitcases filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things, Nangong Lili got into Lü Yao's car again.
In the passenger seat, Nangong Lili happily swung her legs, exclaiming, "Let's go! Let's go!"
Lü Yao: "..."
……
After returning to the tavern on the south side of Wenxi Road, Lü Yao led Nangong Lili to the attic on the third floor.
Even the attic has a usable area of 70 to 80 square meters, so Lü Yao built a suite in the attic, originally thinking that it would be useful if he hired people in the future.
Now it's a bargain for Nangong Lili.
Upon arriving at the clean, tidy, warm, and comforting attic room, Nangong Lili immediately exclaimed "Wow!" and pounced onto the soft and comfortable bed. Feeling the cloud-like soft mattress and blankets, Nangong Lili felt as if she were melting like cream.
Cool!
So cool!
Seeing that Nangong Lili had quickly messed up the bed, Lü Yao's eyes twitched: "Hey! Let's get this straight. You're not allowed to make this place dirty and messy. I'll be back every day to check, and if the cleanliness doesn't meet the standard for even one day, you're out."
Hearing Lü Yao's serious tone, Nangong Lili didn't hold back at all. Wearing her shoes, she struck a seductive pose on the bed, one hand behind her head and the other beckoning to Lü Yao: "Why don't you come and sleep in the same bed with me? That way it'll be easier to keep an eye on you."
Lu Yao smiled, his eyes gentle, and said in an exceptionally amiable tone, "Perhaps you can use this to test my bottom line."
Nangong Lili suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She dropped her flirtatious act, rolled her eyes, and said listlessly, "Okay..."
Lü Yao: "Take your foot off me."
Nangong Lili obediently put her feet down, sat up well, and reached out to dust off the dust.
After speaking with Nangong Lili, Lü Yao went downstairs with a cold face.
The moment the door closed, Nangong Lili, who had been pretending to be a human, instantly revealed her true colors, like a monkey trying to stay in bed. She immediately tried to roll back onto the bed—but this time, after a moment's hesitation, she took off her shoes and started rolling around again.
……
Back on the second floor, Lü Yao locked the door and sat down at his workbench.
He then lowered the back of his chair and, in a semi-reclining position, browsed the knowledge in his mind.
The knowledge of alchemy is vast and profound; the more you delve into it, the more mysterious it seems.
Moreover, alchemical knowledge and human body cultivation are very compatible. Looking back at human body cultivation from the top of alchemy gives one a feeling of looking down from a high place.
This is exactly what it means to have a commanding view from a high vantage point.
Moreover, the alchemical knowledge provided by the system is different from the alchemists that Lü Yao remembered.
Alchemists are also a school of thought that leads directly to the highest ranks.
Moreover, it is a class-based school of thought that builds upon the shoulders of giants, allowing it to stand higher and go further.
In the mystical realm, the alchemists, wizards, and priests are all explorers on the path to godhood.
The Arcane, Omniscience, and Fate factions, on the other hand, belong to those who seek the path to godhood.
As the mysterious world uncovers the ancient era, people have gradually realized that the end of the "Age of Gods" and the "ascension to godhood" are closely related. Some hypotheses have even asserted that the moment one truly becomes an omniscient and omnipotent supreme being is the beginning of the "decline of the gods."
In this hypothetical theoretical model, the mystery in the entire world, after being dispersed, will constantly seek to converge, and at the moment when all convergence is completed, it will collapse.
The entire world has gone through this cycle of aggregation and decomposition five times.
Therefore, the seekers of the Black Tower on the mystical side have been trying their best to postpone the arrival of the Sixth Age of Gods.
Thus, the "path to godhood" came into being, in addition to the path to godhood.
Those who explore the path of creating gods gain power beyond the rules by creating and commanding deities, and the causal consequences arising from the infinite aggregation of mystery are borne by the "gods" they create.
When necessary, it can even sever the mysterious aggregation process, cutting off the destruction caused by infinite aggregation.
The ultimate goal of the path to godhood is not to create gods, but to obtain supreme authority.
—But it does not take on the risks that come with becoming supreme.
