The Era of Gods - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: A Unique Power System
 

“By the way, have you reached the point where you’re ready to condense your Godhood and become a Demigod?”

Xie Yufei unceremoniously sat on his bed, hugged her arms, and asked.

Lin Xiao shook his head in surprise:

“Isn’t condensing Godhood to become a Demigod a matter for third-year seniors? It’s still early for me.”

Xie Yufei laughed and said:

“Of course, for ordinary students, it’s a matter for the latter half of their senior year. But for a super-elite like you, you need to start preparing now. Hasn’t your teacher told you?”

“Not yet.”

“They’re probably waiting to tell you next term, but you should start preparing early. At least you need to understand some of the preparatory requirements before condensing your Godhood into a Demigod.”

“This…”

Lin Xiao touched his head and said:

“I’m not very clear about the preparatory requirements.”

Xie Yufei sat cross-legged on his bed, showing her delicate and fair little feet, pointed to a chair next to her, signaling him to sit down. She took charge as if she were the host and said:

“I like the look of you, and you’re promising, so let me explain it to you as a sister.”

She cleared her throat and asked:

“Do you know the conditions and process of becoming a Demigod?”

Lin Xiao recalled the limited impressions from his memory and said:

“I know that to become a Demigod, one must have a sufficient and stable Power of Faith source, and one has to snatch a parish that believes in oneself from the Aboriginals of exotic worlds in a Foreign Dimension. Furthermore, one needs a mighty Divinity, at least a Divinity Level of Rank 2 or above.”

“Hmm, generally accurate, but do you know the specific requirements and reasons for these preparatory conditions?”

“A stable Power of Faith source is used to support the Divine Fire and Godhood, while Divinity is the prerequisite for condensing Godhood. Only a strong enough Divinity can carry a powerful Godhood.”

“Right, but not entirely right.”

Xie Yufei spoke earnestly:

“A stable Power of Faith source is indeed related to the strength of the Divine Fire and the support of the Godhood, or in professional terms, ‘maintenance.’ After condensing the Divine Fire and Godhood, both need Divine Power to be maintained. If for a long time there isn’t enough Divine Power to sustain them, your Divine Fire will slowly weaken, your Divinity will decline, and your Godhood’s power will decrease. If there is a prolonged absence of Divine Power maintenance, the Godhood will gradually collapse, and eventually, the Godhood will disappear.”

“If there is no Divine Power maintenance continuously, and the duration is too long, eventually all Godhood will collapse, and the Divine Fire will be extinguished. By then, one would either regress back to being a Divine Being or directly perish.”

“As for why one must snatch a parish that believes in oneself from the Aboriginals of exotic worlds, it has no direct connection to becoming a Demigod. This is a requirement from Main World Gaia Will. When we snatch and conquer dimensions in Different Domains, Gaia Will receives feedback and continuously grows stronger.”

She looked up at Lin Xiao and said in a solemn voice:

“Main World Gaia Will is the foundation of our civilization, just like the Main World of other God Realm civilizations. The stronger Gaia Will is, the safer we are. This is a responsibility that must be shouldered by every Divine Territory Player.”

“Moreover, if you establish a parish, you will also receive feedback from Gaia Will. The larger and more significant the first parish you establish, the more feedback you will receive.”

“As for the requirement of Godhood, you don’t need to worry. With the current strength of your Divinity, you can basically carry all known Godhoods.”

“So in the next year and a half, you only need to strive to expand your Divine Realm and the number of your God Realm Kin, stabilize faith, and next term you can start selecting the Crystal Wall Universe to battle for establishing your parish.”

“Once you have established your parish and all preparations are complete, you can start working on the Ignition of the Divine Fire and the condensation of Godhood. This requires a massive amount of Divine Power; the more, the better.”

Xie Yufei finished speaking in one breath, stood up from the bed, and patted his shoulder, saying:

“Young man, I have high hopes for you. It’s better to start early with such matters. Once you complete this task, go start preparing.”

After saying that, she walked away with her hands behind her back, the very picture of a boss, leaving a somewhat dazed Lin Xiao behind.

Demigod!

“Is it time for me to start working towards the Ignition of the Divine Fire and becoming a Demigod?”

Unbeknownst to him, his strength had grown to such an extent.

Igniting the Divine Fire to become a Demigod was a chasmal leap for regular Divine Territory Players, but for Lin Xiao now, it wasn’t difficult, with his current foundation, igniting the Divine Fire wasn’t at all challenging. The main concern was how to ignite the Divine Fire, in what manner to ignite it, and where to ignite it.

Yes, there are indeed various postures for igniting the Divine Fire.

After Xie Yufei left, Lin Xiao immediately searched the military network for information on this topic, and there was detailed data about the Ignition of the Divine Fire.

Not only for Divine Territory Players, but there were also methods for ordinary people on how to ignite the Divine Fire and become a Demigod.

Let’s not talk about how ordinary people ignite the Divine Fire to become Demigods. The main point is, there are several methods for Divine Territory Players to ignite the Divine Fire, which relate to the strength of the Divine Fire after the ignition and even more so to the success rate of future Divine Enthronement.

According to the military’s classification, there are roughly three methods, in ascending order of strength.

The weakest first method is to simply ignite the Divine Fire in the Main World.

Once the Godness value reaches the minimum standard and the mastery of Godhood meets the minimum criteria for condensation, with enough Divine Power prepared, one could attempt to communicate with Main World Gaia’s Will and the Source Sea to ignite the Divine Fire.

This method has a very high success rate, but it results in the weakest strength. Not only does it produce the weakest Demigods, but it also has very little potential for growth. It’s difficult even to become a High-Level Demigod, let alone achieve Divine Enthronement.

This method is generally the choice of ordinary Divine Territory Players, such as those who were eliminated early and mixed among the civilians, or those whose strength plummeted due to an accident and have no confidence in pioneering in Different Domains, only able to ignite the Divine Fire in the Main World to survive as a Demigod.

After all, once becoming a Demigod, one’s lifespan will count by tens of thousands of years.

Note, this is tens of thousands of years in the Main World, which would be thirty-six million years if converted to an Exotic Crystal Wall.

The second method is naturally to leave the Main World and ignite the Divine Fire in the Exotic Crystal Wall.

This step also divides into two, one is to establish a parish at the edge of the domains already conquered in the Main World.

Because the establishment site is at the edge of the occupied area, it is relatively safe. Hence, during the ignition of the Divine Fire, the Source Sea feedback from communicating with either Main World Gaia’s Will or the Exotic Crystal Wall Origin is limited, but it’s certainly stronger than igniting the Divine Fire in the Main World.

At this stage, most Divine Territory Players ignite the Divine Fire by this method, which is also the mainstream.

It’s worth mentioning that if one ignites the Divine Fire in a Different Domain, not only will they communicate with Gaia’s Will but also with the Exotic Crystal Wall’s Origin Will, receiving Source Sea feedback from both the Main World and the Exotic Crystal Wall simultaneously, which is why it’s stronger than merely igniting the Divine Fire in the Main World.

But precisely because it involves communicating with the wills of two Crystal Wall Origins at the same time, this requires not only a strong will and Divinity from the Divine Territory Players but also presents the risk of being discovered by the Exotic Crystal Wall Origin Will.

Frankly, their actions are akin to prying into the corner of a Different Domain universe. They take the world origin of the Exotic Crystal Wall both when igniting the Divine Fire and potentially during Divine Enthronement, but they are Divine Territory Players from the Main World, and this act of seizing the origin is equivalent to that of a thief stealing from the Main World. Such action cannot be tolerated by any Crystal Wall Universe Origin Will. If discovered, failure is the least of worries; one fears the Wrath of the Exotic Crystal Wall Origin Will’s backlash, which could result in oblivion with just one slip of attention.

The third method of igniting the Divine Fire is also about leaving the Main World, but not to the edges of domains already conquered, but rather, completely unfamiliar Crystal Wall Universes.

One would need to journey to an unknown Crystal Wall Universe… To not only establish a parish but to create a stable connection to the Main World under the nose of the Origin Will of that Exotic Crystal Wall Universe, ensuring the channel is fully established and stable, with the force of Main World Gaia’s Will extending over.

This task is like sneaking onto the bed of a sleeping girl, removing one’s pants without her notice, penetrating and enjoying a moment of pleasure before climaxing.

The difficulty of that…

How should I put it?

Take an example. There’s a history of the Main World heading into the Chaotic Void to conquer Different Domains spanning three hundred thousand years. In the time of the Chaotic Void, that’s three hundred and sixty-five times three hundred thousand years, which is approximately one hundred and ten million years.

In these many years, the Main World has discovered Crystal Wall Universes in the millions, the vast majority of which are micro-scale Crystal Wall Systems smaller than the Main World, many of which are barren having only recent birthed, with few being of value.

Out of these countless Crystal Wall Systems, most are merely at the discovery phase, occasionally sending adventurers through, but establishing a stable invasion channel is challenging, let alone establishing a stable Outpost Base and conquering a Foreign Dimension to serve as an Outpost Base.

According to unofficial civilian statistics, the number of known Crystal Wall Universes where the Main World has established stable invasion bases is fewer than ten thousand.

Discovery is one thing, having explorers enter is another, while establishing a stable transportation channel is yet another matter entirely.

It seems like there are so many schools in the Main World, with middle schools and universities each having a vast number of dimensions for students to descend upon, yet in reality, most dimensions belong to the same Crystal Wall System.

Some conquered and mature Crystal Wall Universes are incredibly vast, with dimensions inside them as abundant as stars in the night sky, forming clusters of dimensions like the Milky Way, these ownerless Crystals possessing mixed influences. Here a force occupies a few dimensions, while not far away another force possesses a small cluster. The dimension where Lin Xiao previously took tests when he was studying in Dongning Middle School, as well as the cluster where his Clan is located, are such examples.

We’ve strayed a bit from the topic. Let’s return to the main point. As you can see, this path is extremely difficult.

However, if one can succeed, the rewards given by Main World Gaia’s Will would be enough to make any envious person’s calf cramp with jealousy.

Lin Xiao has not yet decided which path to take, but it’s certain he won’t choose the first one. He’s more likely to choose the second path; the third seems too challenging, and he’s not confident in it.

And besides, there seems to be no need to pursue the third path; isn’t becoming a Demigod in a steady and reliable manner good enough?

That’s the decision for now, but he still has to listen to his teacher’s advice. After all, his knowledge is limited, and he should consult the information available on the internet.
