Chapter 2685: Chapter 1160: There’s an Art to Being a God (Part 3)

Gaven’s innate seriousness made her subconsciously believe this was an incredibly difficult task.

"It’s very likely the same thing; when you have time, collect some as our research material."

Gaven reflected, "This matter is my fault, somewhat taken for granted, subconsciously believing that things not used on a large scale among humans have not been discovered in this world.

It seems it’s necessary for me to reevaluate this world, especially those unconventional intelligent lifeforms, who might be holding unique materials and technology that, for various reasons, haven’t been widely promoted and utilized."

"I thought the Lord knew!" Stelina said apologetically, "Had I known the Lord needed this material, I would have told you long ago."

"Even those True Gods cannot be omniscient, let alone me," Gaven said with a smile, "However, this matter also reminded me that the most urgent thing right now isn’t about innovation and research, but rather the integration of resources and technology.

Digging out the good technology that already exists among the various races and glorifying it.

If I rely only on myself, the efficiency is ultimately too slow, and it’s also challenging to delve deeply; we must go contrary to the conventional route, through the individuals of each race, to unearth what is unique to their race.

This task can be integrated with the soon-to-be-opened Arcane Academy.

By then, I just need to present my ideas and needs, delegate them to the students of each race to find solutions, and we can follow the clues based on their solutions.

It seems very necessary to open this Arcane Academy to multiple races."

Gaven’s last words were no longer addressed to Stelina, but were a self-analysis.

As my strength increases, my methods and thoughts must also keep pace with the times, especially in research.

Just like the elemental energy accumulator, it doesn’t necessarily have to be understood by oneself.

I can completely serve as a helmsman, grasping the overall direction of progress, leaving the rest to collective brainstorming and efforts.

Establishing the Arcane Academy has become my top priority, which will be the locomotive of the future development of my territory, depending on how much wisdom can be sparked within it.

"If possible, I also want to organize personnel to join the Lord’s Arcane Academy." Stelina naturally didn’t want to fall behind and made use of the opportunity.

The War Academy established by Lady Strategy’s former chief of the Chosen, the current second Chosen Ms. Katherine, has already demonstrated its value through its actions.

Gaven’s terrifying expansion speed is closely linked to the continuous cultivation and excavation of command talents from there.

This world is never short of those tyrannical and powerful Conquerors, but they often flicker out, the more land they conquer, the quicker they collapse.

In the final analysis, it’s because they lack governance capability and a supply of governance talents to match their expansion speed, ultimately only being able to rule over a small piece of land.

The Arcane Academy will undoubtedly be another base for talent cultivation under Gaven, deeply binding it is absolutely the right move.

"Not only can you elect personnel to join, but you can also serve as a magic mentor at the Arcane Academy, and establish your own school of thought." Gaven naturally welcomed all comers.

"Establish my own school of thought? Is it possible?" Stelina asked in surprise.

She subconsciously thought that all schools at the Arcane Academy were related to the Arcane.

"Why can’t it be?" Gaven retorted, "Isn’t apple cultivation a kind of study? Don’t rely entirely on Divine Arts, Special Ability, and Magic in this matter, after all, most people in this world possess magic.

Divine Arts and Magic are more of an auxiliary means, research conducted from the top down must ultimately fall back to ordinary cultivation.

That’s the second aspect of the doctrine I want to talk to you about: the popularization of apple orchard cultivation should be as much as possible handed over to ordinary people, with the Apple Songlan Treants focusing only on shared orchards in the forest or territory.

This way, it can reduce the potential for conflict with ordinary people and be more favorable for promoting your faith, as those in related professions are most easily turned into your believers."

As I gradually step into the realm of True Gods with one foot, Gaven began to realize one thing.

Those True Gods clearly have incredibly convenient Divine Arts, yet are often stingy in using them, instead letting ordinary people laboriously complete tasks on their own.

If the True Gods interfere too much in the secular world, it is extremely detrimental to the collection of their faith.

Initially, people will be amazed at the extraordinary methods of the True Gods, but over time they will grow accustomed, and there is even the possibility of wanting more.

When the parties involved no longer reverence or are grateful to him, faith will dwindle, and the strength of the True Gods will fall into weakening.

As his own weakening progresses, more people will turn away from him, forming a vicious cycle until his fall.

Divine Power is like a prison, Divine Grace like the sea, using a balanced approach is the way to lasting success.

Being a God is also an academic pursuit.

I myself must timely adjust the methods for the development of my Divine Position, no longer solely relying on my Divine Power for advancement, but instead fully enhancing magic technology and the capabilities of lieges to push the construction of the Path forward.

My divine ability will serve more as a means of Divine Grace or demonstrating divine miracles, thus achieving the maximum collection of faith?

This is also commonly referred to as when people pray, the Gods respond.

"The Lord is absolutely correct, I will focus on developing in this area and explore a path of my own," Stelina replied with a reflective look.

"On the path to becoming a god, you and I are both apprentices; we should learn from each other more in the future." Gaven nodded slightly downward, "We should go down now, we can’t let them wait there constantly."

"Alright." Stelina readily agreed.
