Chapter 324: Mortal Realm, Divine Realm, and Heavenly Deities (Bonus Update 36)
Chapter 324: Mortal Realm, Divine Realm, and Heavenly Deities (Bonus Update 36)
Li Yuan was astonished by what he heard.
He had never heard of such a treasure before.
Previously, he only knew of auxiliary cultivation Star Arts like the 'True Interpretation of Earth Star Veins' and the 'Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding' that could enhance Law Compatibility, but these required extremely high standards from the Star Veins, making them very demanding.
"Young man, it's your luck to obtain the Heaven Wind Spirit in this barren Mortal Realm," the shadowy figure of the Black Snake chuckled. "Only Venerables can offer such things; ordinary True Deities don't stand a chance."
Li Yuan was secretly surprised. True Deities? According to Gu You's previous words, Fifth Rank Deities seemed to only be Pseudo Deities.
Now it seemed that the Serpent God 'Chou Bingzun' was at least an extremely powerful existence among True Deities.
At the same time, Li Yuan also took note of the term 'Mortal Realm'. Was it referring to the Dimensional Realm he was in?
"Don't listen to his boasting," Chou Bingzun smiled. "Although the Primordial Treasures like the Heaven Wind Spirit are precious, some superpowers in the vast Divine Realm can still offer them. However, even with their disciples, not all can become True Deities, and some even struggle to ignite their divine flames."
"External objects are merely supplementary."
"Take the Serpent Clan, the True Phoenix, and the Divine Dragon clans, for example. They are destined to become deities, but what does that mean? Most of them can only ignite their divine flames."
"As for humans, they are spread across various realms, and most are weak at birth, but over the long years, countless superpowers that shake the Divine Realm have emerged." The Serpent God shook his head. "Nowadays, the dominant powers in the Divine Realm are mostly humans."
Divine Realm? Li Yuan held his breath.
This wasn't the first time he had heard this term.
"Ultimately, it still depends on the individual," Chou Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. "Whether it's the Heaven Wind Spirit or your future cultivation of the Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding, they can significantly increase your cultivation speed. But for the numerous bottlenecks on the path to deityhood... it still depends on you."
"Law Compatibility is part of one's innate talent for enlightenment, but it's not everything," Chou Bingzun explained.
"It can only be said that it increases your chances of becoming a superpower and helps you progress faster and more steadily on the path of strength."
Li Yuan listened intently.
These were the experiences and insights of a superpower.
However, Li Yuan also understood that there were differences in their perspectives.
For Chou Bingzun, achieving Demigod or Fifth Rank Deity status might not be a big deal.
But for himself and the entire Seven Star Civilization, the birth of a Fifth Rank Deity would be a momentous event, capable of changing the fate of the entire civilization.
"Regardless..."
"I thank the Venerable for bestowing such a treasure," Li Yuan said respectfully. "May I ask what the Venerable wishes of me?"
From his previous interactions with Chou Bingzun, Li Yuan understood that the other party was probably not looking for a successor.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be this complicated.
"There's no rush."
"Let me slowly explain to you. Have you heard of the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains?" Chou Bingzun asked with a smile.
Li Yuan's eyes showed a hint of confusion. What was this?
"What about the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain?" Chou Bingzun asked again.
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with hesitation, and after a moment, he nodded. "I've heard the elders of my clan mention it once. It seems to be a mysterious place in the Dimensional Realm, accessible only to Demigods."
Blazing Wind had mentioned it once.
It was in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain that Blazing Wind and the Alliance Leader, Dongfang Ji, had met and become acquainted.
"Indeed, it seems your civilization is quite powerful. That's right, you can cultivate the Ultimate Body Refining Technique, and your civilization also has many Tier Four Warships... You should have given birth to a Fifth Rank Deity." Chou Bingzun spoke.
Li Yuan remained silent.
Deities? Our civilization doesn't have any... But the treasures the Alliance Leader can offer are probably stronger than many Fifth Rank Deities.
"You must have guessed that I'm not from this Dimensional Realm, but from the Divine Realm," Chou Bingzun said.
"Senior," Li Yuan couldn't help but speak up. "Mortal Realm and Divine Realm, what exactly do they refer to?"
"The universe is vast, and the heavens revolve, filled with countless mysteries. The Divine Realm and the Mortal Realm are both parts of the Dimensional River, belonging to the same starry sky," Chou Bingzun's eyes held a peculiar light. "The so-called Divine Realm is essentially an extremely vast and expansive 'Super Dimensional Realm'. It is rich in Primordial Energy, with countless life-bearing planets... Over hundreds of millions of years, brilliant Primordial Energy Technology has evolved, and numerous powerful deities have been born."
"The gods compete for supremacy, and various races vie for dominance. Many powerful sects, nations, and civilizations rise, and some races are destroyed, including some great civilizations that have given birth to Heavenly Deities." Chou Bingzun's eyes flickered with a hint of melancholy.
Li Yuan was also stunned by what he heard and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Wow!
The outside world was so vast and expansive that just hearing about it made one's blood boil with excitement.
"The Divine Realm is the core of this vast starry sky, the essence of it all," Chou Bingzun explained. "The Dimensional Realm you're in is a 'Ordinary Dimensional Realm' under the Divine Realm's influence, with its own Primordial Energy circulation maintaining the entire Dimensional Realm."
"However, compared to the Divine Realm, the Ordinary Dimensional Realm is weak and small. It often lacks various resources and treasures, and the deities born here are few. Most are ordinary life forms, hence the name 'Mortal Realm'."
"Chou Bingzun spoke."
Li Yuan finally understood.
The so-called Mortal Realm and Divine Realm, in essence, had no fundamental differences; they were merely distinguished by strength.
"Of course, in an ordinary dimensional realm, under the operation of its origin, to maintain stability, during the process of evolution, a plane membrane often gradually forms, separating different planes. Each plane is protected by the rules of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the deities within the realm to traverse the starry sky and reach different dimensional planes."
"In the end, most deities will follow the guidance of the dimensional realm's origin and head towards the Divine Realm." Chou Bingzun smiled, "Countless mortal realms surround and revolve around the Divine Realm."
"With a vast gathering of deities, plus the deities born in the Divine Realm itself... it's only natural that the Divine Realm is incredibly fascinating."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, and this made him think of a term—Ascension.
But it seemed not entirely the same.
"Senior, are there many deities in the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Many! If there aren't many deities, can it still be called the Divine Realm?" Chou Bingzun said indifferently, "But in a certain sense, it's also not many."
Li Yuan was taken aback.
"Little guy." The black snake's shadow beside him laughed, "The number of deities is indeed vast, but that's the total... However, the Divine Realm is vast and boundless, with countless planets and uncountable lives. It's like in your weak civilization, deities are often the leaders of a civilization."
"Even in the Divine Realm, a fifth-rank deity can easily rule over a planet of life, dominating the life and death of millions."
Li Yuan understood.
Even in the Divine Realm, a fifth-rank deity is considered an extremely powerful existence.
It's just that the Divine Realm is so vast that ordinary deities seem insignificant.
"If that's the case, why do deities want to go to the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the operation of heaven and earth's rules will force deities to go to the Divine Realm?"
Staying in the Mortal Realm and being the leader of a civilization would be a carefree life.
"It won't force them."
"But the operation of the dimensional realm's origin doesn't want some extremely powerful deities to appear. The stronger their strength, the more they will be suppressed by the origin's invisible force." Chou Bingzun said, "Like you now, you can venture into many second-tier and third-tier star realms."
"What about the deities? Fifth-tier star realms are quite rare." Chou Bingzun shook his head, "Being the leader of a civilization might be exciting at first, and friends and family may still be around."
"But what about five hundred years? A thousand years? Two thousand years?" Chou Bingzun sighed, "A life without pursuit is boring. Being trapped in a dimensional plane is like a cage. When former friends and family pass away one by one, there's almost nothing left to hold them back... Everywhere they look, they see their younger generations and descendants."
"Can you imagine such days?" Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan fell silent.
"The most crucial thing is lifespan." Chou Bingzun said.
"Fifth-rank, igniting the divine fire, becoming an Ethereal Deity, with a lifespan of five thousand years."
"Sixth-rank, initially condensing the divine heart, becoming a True Deity, with a lifespan of thirty thousand years."
"Seventh-rank, refining the divine core, becoming a Heavenly Deity, with a lifespan of three hundred thousand years!" Chou Bingzun spoke softly.
Li Yuan held his breath.
"Ethereal Deity, True Deity, Heavenly Deity?" Li Yuan finally understood the classification among deities.
Li Yuan was also shocked by the lifespans of True Deities and Heavenly Deities.
Three hundred thousand years? Such a long, long time.
"Ethereal Deities and True Deities have insufficient flight speed, and they still need technological means to travel the universe. They also need to use stargates for transportation. But Heavenly Deities, with their own power, can easily destroy a planet."
"Looking at the Divine Realm, they are all peak powers."
"With their long lifespans and ability to explore civilizations, Heavenly Deities can pursue the ultimate secrets between heaven and earth." Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "If you were in their shoes, a deity who has lived for thousands of years, would you choose to die of old age within the dimensional plane, or go to the brilliant and vast Divine Realm?"
Li Yuan held his breath.
For many deities who have lived for thousands of years, what pleasures haven't they experienced?
In the pursuit of longevity, to obtain more powerful treasures and cultivation methods, no one would choose to stay in their home civilization.
"Senior Chou."
"Since that's the case, why did you come from the Divine Realm to our dimensional realm? As far as I know, more than one deity descended ten thousand years ago. Could it be that our dimensional realm has treasures worth fighting over?"
Through his communication with Chou Bingzun, Li Yuan could almost confirm that the Gu Ju Divine Lord was also highly likely from the Divine Realm.
"You know quite a bit, and your guess isn't wrong." Chou Bingzun spoke slowly, "In a normal mortal realm, resources and treasures are scarce, but your dimensional realm is an exception."
"Ten thousand years ago."
"I led my followers, paying a huge price, and brought this divine-class mothership from the Divine Realm to descend upon this dimensional realm... It wasn't just me; many deities from the Divine Realm arrived at the same time."
"Even the native deities of this dimensional realm joined the battle."
"It was a shocking massacre."
"The goal was to fight for the treasures within the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain."
