Chapitre 576: Chapter 576: The Divine Realm

"In the lower realm, level 99 is considered the ultimate limit. However, anyone who can cultivate to level 100 through their own efforts steps into the realm of divinity, achieving a qualitative transformation," explained Asura.

"In the continent's history, those who have become gods solely through their own power are exceedingly rare. Strictly speaking, I'm one of them. The Sea God only half qualifies, as he relied on the faith of the ocean over a thousand years to create his divine position."

Hearing this, Tang San grew even more confident in Asura's superiority over the Sea God, not caring whether what Asura said was true; what mattered to him was that Asura was stronger.

Noticing Tang San's reaction, Asura continued, "After breaking through the level 100 barrier, the initial stage is called 'Child of God,' which is the designation for a newly inherited divine position."

"When one reaches level 110, they are referred to as 'God's Venerable,' and at level 120, they are known as 'God's King.' At level 130, they become 'God's Emperor,' which corresponds to the five Supreme Gods of the Divine Realm. The term 'God King' is a mark of reverence, not just a title."

"We also have simpler classifications: Third-level Gods, Second-level Gods, First-level Gods, and God Kings, corresponding respectively to levels 100-110, 111-120, 121-130, and above 130."

"Below Third-level Gods are divine officers—those who possess divine power but have not attained an official divine position."

Tang San's eyes sparkled as he absorbed this clear explanation, marveling at the structured hierarchy of the Divine Realm. The hierarchy suggested a strict and competitive system, where strength dictated everything.

Excitedly, he asked, "Asura, what level are you currently? And how long does it take in the Divine Realm to advance by a single level?"

Asura replied indifferently, "Currently, I am at level 135. As for how long advancement takes, in your lower realm terms, it could take thousands to tens of thousands of years, depending on one's talent."

"You may not realize it, but for a level 98 Titled Douluo to reach level 99 requires nearly a millennium of soul power accumulation under normal conditions!"

Shocked, Tang San finally understood the hardship of high-level cultivation, and why there had been so few who achieved godhood independently throughout history. Most people simply didn't live long enough.

Knowing he was fortunate to have gained Asura's inheritance, he felt an urgency to quickly avenge himself against Su Ming and the others. Then, a new thought struck him, filling him with dread.

"Asura, even if I am confident in myself, completing your trials may still take years. By then, what if Bibi Dong, Su Ming, or even Qian Renxue have already become gods?"

Asura chuckled. "Relax. From what I can tell, it will take at least another two years for Bibi Dong to complete her Rakshasa God Trials. The final three tests are incredibly difficult. Without guidance from the Rakshasa God, she must rely on her own exploration, while you…well…" Asura left the rest unsaid, but his knowing look told Tang San everything. With Asura's help, he could cut corners and perhaps complete his trials faster than Bibi Dong.

And with the powers of the Slaughter City's fallen soul masters as sustenance, Tang San could grow even stronger.

"Now, Tang San, it's time to enter the Slaughter City and earn the Deathgod Domain," Asura prompted. "One last thing—upon inheriting my divine position, your initial divine power level will be 110, not just 101. This is one advantage of a Supreme God's inheritance."

Overjoyed, Tang San realized he would start at a level that would give him an edge over Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who would begin with levels lower than his.

Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall…

Bibi Dong was busy preparing for the upcoming month's events, beginning with invitations to the two great empires and various sects, urging them to send representatives for Su Ming's Holy Son appointment. She anticipated the empires would send emissaries to assess the Spirit Hall's future movements.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu entered and asked, "Bibi Dong, have you thought this through?"

Bibi Dong nodded calmly. "Yes. With Su Ming inheriting the Life Goddess' legacy, and both Qian Renxue and I holding divine legacies, the time is ripe to unify the continent."

Qian Daoliu sighed, "Do as you see fit. My only concern is for Qian Renxue. She hasn't yet found a way to complete her Angel God Trials. Should I pass away, I only ask you to guide her."

"Don't rush her, Qian Daoliu," Bibi Dong advised. "We shouldn't push her into the trials prematurely."

He replied, "It has to happen within the next month or two. Tang San, chosen by Asura, will soon begin his own god trials. If Qian Renxue isn't prepared, she won't stand a chance against him."

"In the Divine Realm, Asura's strength and status surpass the Angel God's. If Tang San succeeds, even you and Qian Renxue together wouldn't be able to stop him."

Chapitre 577: Chapter 577: Ning Fengzhi’s Breakthrough

In the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi discussed recent events with Chen Xin, including his decision to make the sect a vassal of Spirit Hall.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi in shock. "Fengzhi, what exactly did Su Ming say to you? Are you really planning to join Spirit Hall without even resisting?"

Ning Rongrong interrupted, visibly upset, "Grandpa Sword, what are you saying? Brother Su Ming has treated us very well! Why can't we join his side? And he assured us that even as a vassal of Spirit Hall, we'd retain a certain level of independence."

She continued, "Is it really any different from supporting the Heaven Dou Empire? The only reason we supported them was to attract talent. In a war, we're still obligated to assist the Heaven Dou Royal Family. With Spirit Hall, it's the same, except their resources are even richer!"

Chen Xin sighed, patting Ning Rongrong's head with a chuckle. "You've already sided with Su Ming, huh? I wasn't criticizing him. Fengzhi has already decided, so of course, I won't interfere."

Ning Rongrong blushed and covered her face with both hands, staying silent. Ning Fengzhi smiled, realizing just how deeply his daughter favored Su Ming. He then explained everything in detail to Chen Xin.

Hearing this, Chen Xin turned to Gu Rong with wide eyes. "You actually broke through, old man? I didn't expect that!"

Gu Rong scoffed, "What, you're the only one allowed to make progress? With my new domain, my defense is much stronger than before!"

Chen Xin smirked. "Oh? How about testing that against my Seven Kill Sword? Let's see if your reinforced defense can withstand my Piercing Sky Sword Technique."

Gu Rong rolled his eyes. "You're still as annoying as ever. You're already level 97, and you want to challenge me at 96?"

With that, Gu Rong threw a stalk of celestial grass at him. "Here, this is a gift from Su Ming. Once you absorb it, you might reach level 98, and it should deepen your swordsmanship insights."

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass radiated an intense sword aura, impressing Chen Xin. He knew their sect owed Su Ming greatly for this, all thanks to Rongrong's connection with him.

"Fengzhi, go ahead and absorb the Qiluo Tulip. You've trained diligently over the years, so maybe this celestial herb will bring you a major breakthrough. We'll protect you," Chen Xin encouraged.

Suppressing his excitement, Ning Fengzhi nodded, eager to see how much his strength could grow.

After an hour, his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda transformed into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Ning Fengzhi could barely contain his joy—he'd reached level 80!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong asked eagerly, "Fengzhi, how does it feel?"

Ning Fengzhi's hand trembled in excitement as he replied, "I've hit level 80! Once Rongrong reaches level 50, we'll go to the Star Dou Forest to find a suitable spirit beast for me."

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, any suggestions on the type of eighth spirit ring I should get?"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong were speechless, shocked at how quickly Ning Fengzhi had progressed. Considering his previous six spirit skills already covered most enhancement types, they pondered his question.

After a moment, Gu Rong suggested, "What if you go with a spiritual enhancement like Rongrong's?"

However, both Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin immediately dismissed the idea. Ning Rongrong had opted for spiritual enhancement to better support Su Ming, but Ning Fengzhi's primary focus was assisting Sword and Bone Douluos.

After some thought, Chen Xin suggested, "Fengzhi, there's no need for more enhancement skills. For your eighth spirit ring, why not go with defense? You already have one defensive skill, but another could provide even stronger protection, which is crucial for the coming turbulence across the continent."

Ning Rongrong, after a long contemplation, added, "Father, I actually have something for you from Brother Su Ming, which he asked me to give to you at the right time."

With that, Ning Rongrong retrieved a glowing orb from her soul storage, explaining, "This is a God-Given Spirit Ring. When absorbed, it grants a skill that perfectly matches the user's needs, and the ring's age adjusts based on your limits."

Su Ming had secretly entrusted her with this gift before he left, intending for her to give it to her father upon reaching level 90, though Ning Rongrong figured he should decide when to use it.

Staring at the golden sphere, Ning Fengzhi asked in astonishment, "Rongrong, are you certain?"

She nodded confidently, "Brother Su Ming wouldn't lie to me, Father. Do you want to absorb it now?"

Shaking his head, Ning Fengzhi replied, "If this is truly as remarkable as you say, I'll save it until I reach level 90. Perhaps I'll even gain a 100,000-year spirit ring!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Ning Fengzhi's knees nearly buckled; without his cane, he'd have collapsed in sheer anticipation.

With Su Ming's support, he knew that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would never disappoint him!
