[QUOTE="Andor, post: 4931297, member: 1879"] Achieve enlightenment. Eat the divine ambrosia of the gods. Drink the blood of a god. Die a true hero. (And have the gods be fond enough of you to elevate you after death.) Be a demi-god and have your mortality burned away. Claim to be a god and make it stick. -Personally I'm not a fan of the "Gods need worshippers." model of divinity. That's not a god, it's a really powerful leech. Gods are worshipped because it tickles their massive egos and makes them slightly less likely to smite you for their amusment. (The Roman/Greek god model.)
