Wei Chen was somewhat puzzled. Since the human race was created by those gods, how could they possibly abandon the opportunity to condense the Heart of the World while in the Nine Immortal Realm and Soul World? If there were Hearts of the World left behind by those gods in the Spatial Plane, that would mean there were Boundary God seeds. Could the other gods still intervene?
The Senior Sea God explained, "I can assure you, no."
"Are those gods fools?" Wei Chen asked.
The Senior Sea God replied, "In fact, countless gods have tried to condense the Heart of the World in your Spatial Dimension System, but none have succeeded. The humans they left behind could not provide them with the Power of Belief; it was all for nothing."
"Then why did you create humans in the Demon Realm in the first place?" Wei Chen asked again.
The Senior Sea God sighed lightly and said, "Many gods do not believe in evil, including myself. Your Spatial Plane is known as the Cosmic Ancestral Land, and the possibility of condensing the Heart of the World here is almost nonexistent. Even a Fifth-Level Deity who came here failed."
"I just wanted to take a chance; I happened to arrive in the Demon Realm and killed that Boundary God."
"If time could flow backward, I believe neither I nor that Secondary God would have killed the Demon Realm God. If we had let him grow freely, perhaps he would have already reached the Supreme God Realm by now."
The Senior Sea God lamented that mistakes come with a price. Perhaps being trapped here was the price he had to pay.
He deeply regretted coming to the Demon Realm and taking risks in such a cursed place. In fact, he had indeed paid a heavy price—a painfully steep one. After being imprisoned for so long, his Divine Power had been severely depleted. He had given his Heart of the God to Wei Chen in exchange for a glimmer of hope for rebirth. When he returned to his Ancestral Realm to recondense his Heart of the God, he did not know how long it would take. That kind of torment was something ordinary people could hardly endure. The Senior Sea God managed to withstand it; although his mind had been greatly tempered, his strength had suffered significantly. He had been infinitely close to becoming a Secondary God, but due to this predicament, when he returned to his Ancestral Realm to cultivate a new Heart of the God, he would only be a First-Level Deity—far from his peak.
To recover his peak strength would take an unknown amount of time.
For ordinary people, time represents life and is incredibly precious. Similarly, for gods, although time does not equate to lifespan—since their lifespans are infinite—it allows them to grow stronger. In their realm, becoming stronger is also their hope! The hierarchy within the Endless Divine Realm is strict and no less formidable than in other worlds.
In fact, one might say that the Endless Divine Realm is one of the most rigorously hierarchical worlds.
There, even a careless glance could offend another Deity and lead to severe consequences.
The Senior Sea God had spent far too much time in the Demon Realm; for a god, that was unbearable. Moreover, his strength had diminished significantly as well.
Wei Chen was studying the formation while analyzing, "Senior Sea God, I have gathered some information from your words. I'm not sure if I should ask."
"Ask if you want to; if you think you shouldn't, then don't. Stop wasting time," Senior Sea God replied indifferently.
Hearing this, Wei Chen no longer hesitated and asked, "Senior Sea God, did you come to the Demon Domain by accident?"
"Sort of. My original destination with that Secondary God was the Nine Immortal Realm, not the Demon Domain. While tearing apart the Spatial Tunnel, some mistakes occurred, and inexplicably, we ended up in the Demon Domain and encountered a newly emerged Boundary God," Senior Sea God explained.
After hearing Senior Sea God's explanation, Wei Chen felt even more puzzled. Wasn't it true that when a Boundary God first appeared, other gods were prohibited from killing them? Wasn't there a decree specifically for that purpose?
Could it be that Senior Sea God and that Secondary God dared to openly defy the Endless Divine Realm's decree?
Wei Chen said, "Senior Sea God, I clearly remember that within ten thousand years of a Boundary God's emergence, they cannot be killed."
"There are always exceptions. That decree only applies to newly emerged Boundary Gods in human Spatial Planes. In non-human Spatial Planes, they are not considered newly emerged Boundary Gods but rather Primordial Realm Deities. Killing a Primordial Realm Deity is not an issue at all," Senior Sea God replied.
Wei Chen asked again, "Senior Sea God, then I'm confused. In human Spatial Planes, there should generally be Boundary Gods present, right?"
"At the very least, there would be seeds left by gods?" Wei Chen looked at Senior Sea God and asked lightly.
Senior Sea God sighed with a bitter smile, "You're asking too many questions. Sigh, even I don't know how to respond."
After a moment of contemplation, Senior Sea God continued, "Boundary Gods can actually be divided into three types. The first type is Primordial Realm Deities. In their Spatial Planes where there are no humans, the Power of Belief is absent and their Divine Power is weak. Such Boundary Gods are very weak and can easily be killed by other Boundary Gods or gods."
"For instance, the Boundary Gods in the Demon Domain are in that situation; we eliminated them."
"The Second Type of Realm God is a Boundary God that slowly emerges after the human race has proliferated. This type of Boundary God generally forms through the Power of Belief. However, you have refined and absorbed my Heart of the God to become a Second Type of Realm God."
"There is also another kind of Boundary God, known as the Third Type of Realm God, or False World God. After melting the Heart of the World, that world becomes the Pseudo-Ancestor Realm of other gods, and they are the False World Gods of that realm."
"A Spatial Plane that possesses a False World God cannot naturally produce a Boundary God. This creates a problem: countless Spatial Planes are under the jurisdiction of False World Gods, which is detrimental to the overall development of the divine race. Later, the Endless Divine Realm issued a decree stating that a False World God's authority over a world lasts for One Million Years."
"After One Million Years, the False World God loses jurisdiction over that world and cannot condense another Heart of the World from other gods. This is to encourage the birth of new Boundary Gods. When one god occupies many Spatial Planes, it is extremely unfavorable for the development of the divine race. However, to gain more Power of Belief, countless gods will establish their own False World Gods to extract Power of Belief from those Spatial Planes. Only in your current Spatial Dimension System can no Heart of the World be condensed, making it impossible to absorb Power of Belief."
"In your region's Spatial Plane, humans have been thriving strongly, yet no Second Type of Realm God has emerged, nor has there been any Third Type False World God. The only Primordial Realm Deity we had was eliminated by us."
The Senior Sea God shrugged his shoulders, his expression filled with helplessness. At this point, he truly regretted it; such a Primordial Realm Deity with limitless potential could have been cultivated well. Once he became the Supreme God of the Endless Divine Realm, how great would the benefits have been?
The Senior Sea God looked at Wei Chen with deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Son, now you are the Boundary God of the Demon Domain. If you can occupy all the Spatial Planes within your Spatial Dimension System and continuously absorb Power of Belief, combined with your unique position as a Cosmic Center in this Spatial Dimension System, you will become incredibly powerful."
"I'll do my best," Wei Chen nodded. At this moment, any explanation or longing was futile; nothing compared to simply stating he would try his hardest.
Wei Chen indeed intended to give it his all. Since such an excellent opportunity lay before him, it was worth making certain sacrifices to strive for success.
The Senior Sea God's explanation had clarified things for Wei Chen.
First, in the Ancient World hierarchy, the Demon Domain and Nine Immortal Realm are second-tier realms, followed by Hua Xia World and Soul World among others. These Spatial Planes belong to a system associated with the Cosmic Center. In the early stages of the universe's birth, these Spatial Planes were at the center of a massive explosion that provided an abundance of energy, resulting in their relatively low levels. However, these Spatial Planes should actually be quite advanced. Perhaps some Deities could find ways to restore these Spatial Planes' levels; perhaps they will remain low forever.
Second, it is difficult for Boundary Gods to emerge in these Spatial Planes; Wei Chen is only the second one.
Third, other Deities cannot control these Spatial Planes; as a local resident, Wei Chen may have hope.
Fourth, if he wishes to grow stronger and even establish himself firmly in the Endless Divine Realm by taking several Cosmic Center-related Spatial Planes, it would be highly advantageous and might even lead to becoming the strongest. The Senior Sea God held such expectations for Wei Chen.
Wei Chen thought it over multiple times, gaining a certain understanding of the Boundary God and the Spatial Plane.
However, he still had one question that involved the Senior Sea God himself.
That question wasn't particularly important to Wei Chen; he was merely curious. Out of curiosity, he wanted to learn about someone else's affairs, which could be considered impolite. Yet once Wei Chen's curiosity was piqued, nothing could stop him.
"Senior Sea God, after hearing so much from you, I find myself quite curious about that Secondary God. Your relationship with that Secondary God should be fairly good, right?" Wei Chen asked lightly as he looked at the Senior Sea God.
The Senior Sea God showed no hesitation in addressing the question, responding calmly, "I collaborated with that Secondary God. He was responsible for creating the human race on land while I took charge of creating the Sea Tribe in the ocean. In the beginning, our division of labor was quite harmonious, and we achieved some results, gaining some False World God powers in the Spatial Plane."
"However, during this incident in the Demon Realm, due to our differing views on how to deal with that Boundary God, our relationship soured. We had a fierce argument at that time; he suggested directly killing the Boundary God, but I disagreed. However, his strength was greater than mine, and in the end, I had to concede to his decision."
"After killing the Boundary God, we began creating the human race. I thought that would be the end of it, but then that Secondary God suddenly turned against me. He monopolized those Spatial Planes we had shaped together that housed the human race and hoarded all that vast Power of Belief."
"Having suffered from the self-detonation of the Demon Realm God before his death, my strength was severely diminished. Coupled with that Secondary God's ambush—his power was also stronger than mine—I quickly became his prisoner."
"What followed is what you see now: I was trapped by a formation and can never escape. My Divine Power has gradually waned, and my combat ability is almost zero. After enjoying a period of power and indulgence, I decided to give up; if I die, then so be it. Gods can die too; it's not old age that takes them but being killed by others."
The Senior Sea God looked deeply at Wei Chen and said lightly, "Child, let me tell you something you must remember wherever you go from now on."
"What is it?" Wei Chen asked seriously.
