The Senior Sea God invited Wei Chen to absorb the Power of Belief within Mercury, but Wei Chen hesitated.
He understood deeply how important the Power of Belief was to the Senior Sea God at this moment.
"Senior Sea God, you should focus on condensing the Heart of the God. Without it, your strength will be greatly diminished. If your enemies come seeking revenge during this time, you will be in trouble."
"You have already given me your Heart of the God; I am immensely grateful and dare not ask for more," Wei Chen said respectfully, looking earnestly at the Senior Sea God.
Seeing Wei Chen's sincerity, the Senior Sea God smiled slightly and replied, "I have already begun. Reconstructing the Heart of the God will take a long time, not just Divine Power. During this period while I am recondensing the Heart of the God, who knows how much Power of Belief my Ancestor Realm Mercury will provide me? If too much Power of Belief accumulates without effective use for an extended period, it will be wasted and dissipate into self-heat."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled. If that were the case, then after being trapped in the Demon Realm for millions of years, much of the Power of Belief within Mercury must have dissipated.
Wei Chen looked at the Senior Sea God and asked lightly, "Senior Sea God, do you mean that over time, the Power of Belief cannot be stored and will dissipate?"
"Yes," the Senior Sea God nodded.
Wei Chen continued, "But you've been trapped in the Demon Realm for millions of years. Why do I feel that the Power of Belief here hasn't reached saturation yet?"
"It naturally cannot reach saturation. Without anyone to absorb it, even if the Power of Belief within Mercury gathers for millions of years, it may only then reach a saturated state," the Senior Sea God said with a smile.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior Sea God, how long will it take for your Heart of the God to recover?"
Wei Chen felt a contradiction in the Senior Sea God's invitation to absorb the Power of Belief within Mercury. On one hand, if too much Power of Belief accumulated, it would waste away; on the other hand, it would take millions of years to gather fully. Considering the consumption involved in condensing the Heart of the God, how could there be any waste under current circumstances?
The only explanation was that condensing the Heart of the God required an exceedingly long time—time that would feel infinitely long to Wei Chen.
The Senior Sea God sighed slightly and said, "My friend, to be honest with you, losing the Heart of the God has a significant impact on a deity. I estimate that reconstructing my Heart of the God will take several tens of millions of years with my abilities."
"Millions of years?"
Wei Chen was taken aback. Despite having prepared himself mentally, the sheer number of millions of years still shocked him. Was it really going to take that long to reassemble the Heart of the God?
"Senior, with such a long time, won't your combat power be quite weak during this period?" Wei Chen asked with concern.
The Senior Sea God nodded and replied, "Yes, it will be weak, but I won't be completely defenseless. Within my Ancestral Realm, I am essentially immortal. Those formidable Secondary Gods or even Third-Level Deities wouldn't go so far as to kill me for my Mercury."
"Senior Sea God, is there any way to shorten this time?" Wei Chen inquired anxiously.
The Senior Sea God chuckled lightly and said, "Wei Chen, you don't need to worry or blame yourself. I have confidence in my situation. If I hadn't given you the Heart of the God, I would have perished in the Demon Realm. Gaining a new life is already the greatest blessing for me."
"Senior Sea God, I'm not worried about self-blame; I just want to help you. To help you regain your strength sooner and reassemble the Heart of the God."
Wei Chen looked steadfastly at the Senior Sea God and continued, "Please teach me. There must be a way; I will do everything in my power to make it happen. You have guided me onto the path of divinity. Without you, I don't know how long it would take for me to step into this realm. Perhaps I would never reach godhood in my lifetime? If there is any way for you to recover sooner, I would gladly risk my life for it. No matter how difficult it may be, I am willing to try at all costs."
Wei Chen's sincerity and gratitude towards the Senior Sea God were not mere words. The debt he owed was beyond expression. Even though Wei Chen understood deeply that the Senior Sea God had given him the Heart of the God for his own escape, without Wei Chen, the Senior Sea God would have perished. Yet Wei Chen's mindset was not one of seeking credit; without the Senior Sea God, there would be no Ascend to Godhood for him.
Before meeting the Senior Sea God, Wei Chen had never even dared to think about Ascend to Godhood—truly, he hadn't.
Thus, Wei Chen felt that if he could repay the Senior Sea God's kindness, he would try every possible means to do so. And for the Senior Sea God, how could he ever repay Wei Chen's life-saving grace?
Without Wei Chen, the Senior Sea God would already be dead.
The Senior Sea God did not want Wei Chen to feel burdened. Although it would take millions of years to reassemble the Heart of the God, for a deity, millions of years was not considered too long...
A single retreat could last millions of years.
"You don't need to worry about helping me; focus on taking care of yourself first. You broke that Secondary God's formation; he will definitely not let it go easily. The formation is his strongest reliance. Since you broke it before becoming a god, it's only natural that he will be furious. When the ten-thousand-year limit set by the Endless Divine Realm arrives, he will surely come looking for trouble with you. At that time, I hope you can withstand it. Don't forget that gods also have friends and helpers; it's quite normal in the world of gods to pay a price and invite some friends to assist."
The Senior Sea God paused for a moment before continuing, "What you need to be most concerned about is that Secondary God, the one skilled in formations. In the Endless Divine Realm, their status is not low. If they truly want to kill you, I fear your chances are slim. Therefore, you must do everything possible to enhance your own strength. If you reach the realm of a Secondary God, then there will be no issues."
"You need to prepare well. The most important thing for you is to turn your Ancestral Realm of Demons into a fortified stronghold, setting up formations within your Ancestral Realm to await the enemy's arrival. Whether in the human world or the divine realm, formations are the strongest."
"If you can utilize formations effectively against your enemies, you won't face many problems."
"Remember my words: your Formation Assignment is strong; formations are the essence of all worlds. In the Endless Divine Realm, a Supreme God once passed through; formations may very well be the bridge that constructs the entire universe. The words of a Supreme God are never wrong."
The Senior Sea God offered comfort to Wei Chen, and Wei Chen finally realized that the Demon Lotus Emperor chose him because of his Formation Assignment. The Demon Lotus Emperor's choice was undoubtedly correct. According to the Senior Sea God, even in the divine realm, formations were the strongest existence!
"Senior Sea God, I will set it up. My life is quite resilient; no one can take it away from me. However, I worry about you. I'm concerned they might come after you. What will you do if you don't even have a Heart of the God to defend yourself?"
Wei Chen's worries were not unfounded. If that Secondary God truly gathered a group of deities to cause trouble, he would be at the forefront of breaking through formations, with the Senior Sea God following closely behind. What would the Senior Sea God use to defend himself then?
This issue was something Wei Chen could not afford to underestimate. The Senior Sea God was his great benefactor; if his benefactor faced difficulties, he would certainly do everything in his power to help. In matters of great importance, Wei Chen was very clear.
Hearing Wei Chen's words and seeing the worried expression on his face, the Senior Sea God smiled lightly and said, "Child, do you understand the saying 'life and death are predestined; wealth and honor depend on fate'? This saying applies not only among humans but also in the divine realm. Since we cannot resist it, we can only go with the flow."
"Senior Sea God, since divine power can shape humanity, what need is there for such predestination? In my view, whether human or divine, it ultimately comes down to differences in combat power and realms. That kind of gap can be bridged with effort and research. The crisis we face is the same; if that Secondary God truly brings people here, we are one fighting unit—united in glory and united in death." Wei Chen looked at the Senior Sea God and spoke calmly.
The Senior Sea God sighed deeply and said, "There are ways to quickly condense a Heart of the God, but the difficulty is immense."
"Senior, regardless of how difficult it may be, surely you can give me some hope?" Wei Chen said with a cheerful smile.
The Senior Sea God hesitated for a moment before replying, "It is impossible to quickly condense a Heart of the God; the only way is to kill a god and obtain a Heart of the God for me to refine and absorb."
"Killing a god?" Wei Chen was taken aback; this was indeed an immense challenge!
The Senior Sea God nodded and said, "That's right. Ordinary Boundary Gods and First-Level Deities won't suffice; I need a Secondary God's Heart of the God—one that is at a higher level than my own Divine Realm."
The Senior Sea God looked at Wei Chen and smiled bitterly, "Child, do you still want to help me quickly gather the Heart of the God?"
In the eyes of the Senior Sea God, this task was so difficult that anyone would retreat in the face of it.
However, Wei Chen was not an ordinary person. Since there was hope, he had to try; otherwise, he would regret it for a lifetime, unable to find peace.
"Senior Sea God, if I kill a Secondary God, will his Heart of the God still exist?" Wei Chen squinted and asked.
The Senior Sea God was taken aback and replied helplessly, "Do you really want to do that?"
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Who knows if I can succeed?" Wei Chen paused and repeated his question, "Senior Sea God, just tell me how I can obtain his Heart of the God after killing a Secondary God."
Seeing Wei Chen's determination, the Senior Sea God no longer hesitated. He spoke frankly, "The Heart of the God can survive independently from the body for about a year. As long as the god does not self-destruct at the moment of death, the Heart of the God will continue to exist. A god is a god because of the existence of the Heart of the God. Even if it is destroyed, the Heart of the God can escape back to the Ancestral Realm and reform a body. The existence of the Heart of the God means that it only takes a hundred years to reform a body. However, if there is only a body without the Heart of the God, it would take millions of years to reform. The Heart of the God is immensely significant to gods; it is their assurance of immortality."
"Of course, those gods native to the Endless Divine Realm do not have access to the Ancestral Realm. Killing gods from within the Endless Divine Realm and seizing their Hearts of the God will be much more difficult."
The Senior Sea God's expression became extremely serious as he looked at Wei Chen and said solemnly, "Child, if you kill a god but fail to seize his Heart of the God, you will attract endless trouble."
"I have never been afraid of trouble, and aren't you invincible with formations?" Wei Chen replied lightly.
The Senior Sea God fell silent for a moment and then said, "If you can effectively use formations and have the strength to kill a god and seize his Heart of the God, it would be simpler. But your current strength... I cannot imagine you being able to kill a Secondary God. After all, you haven't even reached First-Level Divine Realm yet. Your Formation Assignment is indeed strong, but you have no way to obtain higher-level Formation Blueprints."
