If he really wanted to become a god.
With Iorem's prestige in the Netheril Empire and his attainments in magic, he could have become a god very early on.
"Did you give the Heavy Magic Power to other Arcanists?" Garen asked thoughtfully."
" Yes. " Iolem nodded. " You know me. I never hide anything from my creations. ""
" The usage of heavy magic power is demanding. Only a few out of a thousand ordinary arcanists can learn it by luck. But it is still a powerful ability that should be spread."
" No wonder, " Garen said. " Things like this that become authoritative at birth, even if they don't have faith, as long as there are creatures using them, they will gradually grow stronger."
Just like the Goddess of Magic, the exuberance of magic represented the power of the Goddess of Magic.
The more spellcasters who used heavy magic, the stronger Iorem's divinity would be. Even if he did not establish a church or gather faith, he would still become a god.
"Sigh, but I don't want to become a god."
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Becoming a god was a word that would make most creatures ecstatic, but it made Ioram look worried.

"This doesn't seem to be a difficult matter."
"I've just transformed the Eternal Dragon that the Spacetime Dragon Sect believes in into my clone."
Garen suggested.
Iolem looked at Garen and said, ""I knew you would do that."
Then, he smiled bitterly and sighed, ""Garen, not all creatures have your level."
"Using a god as a clone? Only an Immortal Dragon like you can do such a bold thing."
" Even as a top-notch arcanist, I don't have enough confidence to control a god's clone. I know my limits, and it's no different from playing with fire for me."
Garen scratched his head and said embarrassedly, ""I forgot that my situation is special."
After some thought, Garen said seriously, ""From my experience, if you don't want to become a god, you don't need to remove your divinity."
"What do you mean?" Iolem's eyes flickered."
Garen grinned and said, " Let it grow. After it has condensed into a Godhead, you can choose a suitable successor and transfer all of your Godhead and God's Mighty Power to him. ""
"You might not understand, but after the divine persona is completely formed, it will be stripped away. If you were strong enough before you became a god, it wouldn't affect you much."
There was not much communication between Iorem and the gods, and he had a good relationship with Death, who was also born in the Netheril Empire.
His understanding of Gods was far inferior to Garen's.
After all, there was the existence of God Garen, and Garen's level of understanding was no different from that of a God.
In Garen's opinion, with Iolem's current state, he was already a demigod, not counting his magic attainments, but only the authority of a god. He did not need magic, but only authority, and he already had the power of a demigod.
The so-called demigods were gods with divinity. They had Godhood levels from one to five, but their Godhood had not yet been finalized. They were the lowest level of gods.
It was very difficult for demigods to strip their own divinity, because divinity had just been born and was still in an unstable state. If they stripped their divinity at this time, even if Ioram was already a creature of weak divine power, it was still very likely that he would be severely injured by the backlash.
However, after advancing to a low-level Divine Power and possessing a stable physical Godhead, there would no longer be such a problem.
"So there's such a thing."
Ioram's eyes lit up as he spoke.

The dragon chuckled and said shamelessly.
Ioram thought for a moment and said, "" It's not impossible, but I've estimated that with my current divinity growth rate, it'll take at least several thousand years before my divine persona takes shape and I officially become a god."
"During this period, if I don't find a suitable candidate, I'll hand over the power of God to you."
He had known Garen since Nesiril was still very weak and when Iolem was only a Legendary Arcanist.
It could be said that Garen was the creature that Iolem had known for the longest time. Moreover, Garen had once helped the Netheril Empire escape the fate of destruction. In Iolem's eyes, Garen was a good friend. Therefore, there was no need to think too much about giving Garen a Godhead that he did not need.
"Before that, teach me the principle and structure of heavy magic power. I'm interested in heavy magic power."
The heavy magic power that could make Iorem a god, if brought back to the main timeline, it would most likely increase God Garen's authority by one. If he took it one step further, it would be an out-and-out good thing.
" Oh right, there's also the outstanding spells that have emerged in the Netheril Empire in the past four thousand years. The spells I know are almost outdated and can't keep up with the pace of my growth."
"Lastly, I have a secret technique called Resonance Casting.................."
Garen did not stand on ceremony and told Iolem all his requests.
Iolem felt a headache coming on, but he was a teacher and could not refuse Garen who was thirsty for knowledge. He smiled helplessly and said, ""One by one, I'll teach you heavy magic first."
