The shadow of the Rakshasa God watched Luo Yu, still unsettled in spirit.
Daring to be angry but not to speak.
For the first time in tens of thousands of years, he felt so humiliated.
"Aren't you going to talk quickly?"
Luo Yu cracked his wrist, looking impatient.
The shadow of the Rakshasa God shuddered.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell everything," he said.
Seeing the Rakshasa God's frightened demeanor, Tang Chen and the others were stunned.
They still remembered how arrogant the Rakshasa God had been when he first appeared, hardly deigning to look at them straight.
Yet now he was meek and complacent.
Tang Chen quietly clicked his tongue a few times.
"Indeed, it takes a villain to grind down another villain."
"Watching this is damn satisfying!"
Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes passed over with an enigmatic charm.
From past to present, there was an irresistible allure about the man.
He was incredibly tender to his own people but extremely fierce to outsiders.
Who could not love such a man?
"Hmph!"
Sensing the bewitched looks in the eyes of Bi Bidong and the two other women, Gu Yuena let out a cold huff.
A trace of dissatisfaction flickered across her beautiful face.
She muttered to herself.
It hadn't been long since she last saw him, and the man had developed several more charms.
When would he change his philandering ways?
Gu Yuena rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat headache.
Maybe... a permanent cure was in order.
Physical castration?
She fell into hesitation, looking thoughtfully at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu was interrogating the Rakshasa God.
Suddenly feeling a chill on his back, he turned his head to see Gu Yuena's purple beautiful eyes.
He inexplicably felt a tightness below the waist.
"Nana, what's with that look?" Luo Yu asked, feeling a bit guilty.
"It's nothing, just hurry up and ask him what his purpose truly is," Gu Yuena pointed at the Rakshasa God.
"Alright!"
Luo Yu turned and threw a heavy slap at the shadow of the Rakshasa God.
The Rakshasa God became even more ethereal, holding his face and wailing, "Didn't she tell you to ask me? Why are you hitting me?"
Luo Yu backhanded another slap across.
"I enjoy it, got a problem?"
The Rakshasa God's eyes turned red, and he seemed ready to fight Luo Yu desperately, but after seeing Luo Yu's stern gaze, he shrank back.
Forget it, a wise god doesn't suffer in front of something beyond his control.
"Actually, I've been plotting for tens of thousands of years to come to Soul Land to obtain a chance to break through to Divine King."
Upon hearing these words, all the women and Tang Chen were invigorated, gathering around closely.
Gu Yuena even teleported closer to get a better look.
"What did you say?"
"There's a chance for a Level One Deity to break through to Divine King in Soul Land?"
"Yes," the Rakshasa God nodded.
"Impossible," Gu Yuena immediately denied.
"How so?" Luo Yu looked at Gu Yuena confusedly, knowing that he definitely did not understand these matters as much as Gu Yuena did.
Gu Yuena glanced at Luo Yu and swallowed.
"You don't know," she said.
"A Level One Deity can never escalate to the Divine King level no matter what."
"How much potential a god has entirely depends on what level of Deity inheritance he receives when he ascends to the Divine Realm."
Luo Yu hesitated, "If I accepted the inheritance of a Level One Deity and strived to improve for ten thousand years after arriving in the Divine Realm, couldn't I reach the level of Divine King?"
Gu Yuena shook her head certainly.
```
"No."
"If you accept the inheritance of a Level One Deity, then no matter how hard you try, you're merely improving within the realm of a Level One Deity; ultimately, you'll reach a bottleneck limit which you can't breakthrough."
"The inheritance of a deity can rapidly bring about a rise in level, but in the end, it will also become the shackles that prevent your breakthrough."
"In the Divine Realm, a Level One Deity is a Level One Deity, forever unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Divine King."
Bi Bidong hesitated and said, "What's the reasoning behind this?"
Gu Yuena glanced at her, seemingly reluctant to explain, but noticing some confusion in Luo Yu's eyes as well.
She immediately explained:
"To put it simply, inheriting the godhood of a Level One Deity is like having a reservoir that's one hundred Zhang deep."
"Your reservoir is only that big, no matter how much water you add, it can only hold that much."
"Inheriting the godhood of a Divine King is like having a reservoir that's one thousand Zhang deep, innately superior to a Level One Deity."
Bi Bidong appeared to be deep in thought.
"So you're saying, as long as you can widen the reservoir and elevate the godhood, you can break the fetters and ascend further," she hypothesized.
"Heh."
Gu Yuena scoffed coldly.
"In theory, that's true, but it's just theory."
"Elevating the upper limit of godhood is as difficult as ascending to heaven; it's nearly impossible in the Divine Realm."
"The most direct method does exist, though. For instance, the Rakshasa God slays the Asura God, takes over his Divine King godhood, and merges it with his own Rakshasa godhood to break through to the level of a Divine King."
Bi Bidong ignored Gu Yuena's coldness and analyzed with furrowed brows:
"It's impossible for a Level One Deity to slay a Divine King, right?"
Gu Yuena nodded.
"Of course, that's why I said, once a person ascends to the Divine Realm, their upper limit is already set; it cannot be broken."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yu inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself how fortunate he was for not accepting the inheritance of the Music Deity or the Sea God, or else he might be in tears by now.
The godhood in the Divine Realm clearly had major flaws; the upper limit was fixed.
He backhandedly slapped the Rakshasa God.
The Rakshasa God covered his face, his voice tinged with a crying tone.
This was just too unreasonable.
"Why did you hit me again!"
Luo Yu glanced sideways and said:
"Don't play dead, keep talking."
Knowing he couldn't dodge the issue, the Rakshasa God clenched his teeth and eventually revealed a secret hidden for ten thousand years.
"Actually, what the Silver Dragon King said is correct; to elevate your godhood, the only way is to slay someone from the higher echelon and devour their godhood."
"But there's also another method."
Luo Yu glared, "Quit being mysterious, out with it."
The Rakshasa God, still covering his face, said, "I happened upon an ancient tome, written by a stunningly brilliant deity from the ancient Divine Realm, and it recorded the Devouring Soul Technique that can be used to break through the limits of godhood."
"The Devouring Soul Technique? Devour what souls?" Gu Yuena asked, her beautiful eyes furrowing tightly, unable to help herself.
The Rakshasa God explained:
"Divine Artifacts have Artifact Spirits, and realms may also have the chance to produce Spirits of the Plane."
"The more powerful the realm, the more formidable the Spirit of the Plane."
"Using the Devouring Soul Technique to devour the Spirit of the Plane, one can borrow the power of an entire realm to break through the limit and vie for the summit."
As the Rakshasa God's words fell, silence enveloped the surroundings.
They all fell into silence.
"Hiss—"
Tang Chen took a sharp gasp.
"I've never heard of a realm being able to give birth to a sentient spirit."
Gu Yuena also appeared somewhat skeptical.
Because she had also stayed in the Divine Realm and had never heard of such a thing.
"I've lurked in Soul Land for many years, so why have I never sensed the Spirit of the Plane you mentioned?"
The Rakshasa God said pitifully, "Don't mention your lack of feeling it; I've never sensed it either."
"You're deceiving us?" Gu Yuena's gaze grew cold. "I don't believe you've schemed for ten thousand years in Soul Land over something completely unfounded."
Feeling the breath of death, the Rakshasa God shook his hands desperately.
"No, that book recorded it, not being able to feel it is normal."
"Because to protect itself, the Spirit of the Plane hides extremely deep, to the point where even a Divine King descending to the world can only destroy a part of the realm, but cannot sense the Spirit of the Plane."
