What are the paths to Ascend to Godhood?
Aside from condensing the Heart of the World, condensing the Heart of the God, and becoming a Boundary God, are there any other paths?
Stellar Power and Ascend to Godhood—what do they mean?
Can one ascend to Godhood without mastering a Spatial Plane?
What kind of god would that be?
Within the Divine Realm System of the Endless Divine Realm, there is no such method.
If there were, the Senior Sea God would have already informed Wei Chen; he wouldn't have left him completely in the dark. Since the Senior Sea God hasn’t shared anything with Wei Chen, it proves that within the Endless Divine Realm's Divine Realm System, there is no method for Ascending to Godhood.
Before this, Wei Chen had never even heard of such a method. Even though the Dark Mage was aware of it, Wei Chen still couldn't comprehend what Ascend to Godhood truly meant.
“Grandfather, what does your Ascend to Godhood mean? I’ve never heard that term before,” Wei Chen asked with a frown.
The Dark Mage smiled lightly and said, “Previously, I hadn’t heard of it either. I only saw the words 'Ascend to Godhood' in the Starry Codex. Honestly, before you began your journey to Ascend to Godhood, I couldn’t understand those four words at all; I didn’t grasp their meaning.”
“But because of your Ascend to Godhood, I’ve gained some insights into those four words. In fact, Ascend to Godhood means refining one’s body using Stellar Power until it becomes as hard as the essence within the stars. At that point, a casual punch could shatter the void—that is the power of Ascend to Godhood.”
“Moreover, when one truly cultivates to the realm of Ascend to Godhood, a single punch can break apart stars!”
A punch that shatters stars!
How domineering that is!
Just thinking about it was enough to be shocking.
Wei Chen didn't know what to make of it. "Ascend to Godhood," shattering stars with a single punch—if it were someone else, he would absolutely not believe it; it must be Sword Mountain boasting. But this was said by his own grandfather, Dark Mage, which gave "Ascend to Godhood" credibility, and suddenly shattering stars with a single punch seemed believable too.
How much energy would it take to shatter stars with a single punch?
Wei Chen pondered carefully. Now that he had reached the First-Level Divine Realm, if he gathered all his Divine Power and unleashed a full-force strike, he could indeed destroy a star with one punch.
But that would exhaust all his Divine Power; it wasn’t as simple as the Stellar Technique's shattering stars with a single punch.
The former relied on Divine Power to create explosive force; the latter depended on brute strength to smash the stars into pieces…
The results were the same, but which was superior was clear at a glance. Gathering Divine Power and slowly releasing it versus clenching a fist and smashing the stars.
Which was stronger?
Wei Chen felt secretly frustrated. According to Dark Mage's methods, wasn’t Stellar Power stronger than Divine Power? Wasn't Ascend to Godhood more powerful than Endless Divine Realm or the Divine Realm System?
“Grandpa, what kind of power do you have now? How far are you from Ascend to Godhood?” Wei Chen looked at Dark Mage and asked eagerly.
Dark Mage smiled and said, “Still quite far. With my current physical strength, even if all those strong demon warriors you brought came at me together, they wouldn’t be able to defeat me. I could take them all down with just my fists.”
“So strong?” Wei Chen was astonished. Over five hundred Martial Emperor Realm demons, and Dark Mage was confident he could handle them alone?
Dark Mage smiled lightly, raising an eyebrow. “Child, don’t you believe me?”
Wei Chen shrugged noncommittally, believing or not believing didn't seem that important.
However, the Dark Mage was left without face by Wei Chen's attitude. He snorted coldly and said, "Child, let me tell you, there are always those stronger than you. Even though you have become a god, you are not invincible."
"Grandpa, are you saying that you can defeat me now?" Wei Chen replied, speechless.
The Dark Mage pouted and said, "Of course not. What I mean is that my current power would astonish even you, a god."
"Then show me what you've got."
Wei Chen smiled provocatively, flying high into the air and pointing at the ground.
The Black Demon Mianlu showed a hint of pride before suddenly soaring up and diving downwards. With a powerful swing of his right fist, he struck towards the ground with a whoosh.
When the Dark Mage's fist made contact with the ground, a dull thud echoed out, shaking the earth!
A crack over a hundred feet wide and stretching for miles appeared in Wei Chen's line of sight.
The entire Beast Mountain was completely split in two under the might of the Dark Mage's punch!
Wei Chen stared in shock at the Dark Mage. He understood deeply that the Dark Mage's punch had not used Stellar Power or magic; it was purely brute strength that caused this destruction!
Looking at the bottomless chasm, Wei Chen felt somewhat intoxicated. Was it really possible to achieve such power through sheer strength alone?
Even he himself could not accomplish such a feat!
Even now that Wei Chen has become a First-Level Deity, he is absolutely no match for the Dark Mage in a pure contest of strength.
The Dark Mage is still far from Ascending to Godhood, yet possesses such power. If he truly ascends, shattering stars with a single punch would be effortless!
Wei Chen has witnessed the ultimate might of power and remains in a daze for a long time.
"Could it be that outside the Endless Divine Realm and the Divine Realm System, there really exists a novel way of cultivation that allows one to Ascend to Godhood?"
"What kind of god would that be?"
"A god that doesn’t absorb the Power of Belief, doesn’t control a realm, and doesn’t even possess the Heart of the God..."
"Can such a being still be called a god?"
Wei Chen's beliefs have been completely overturned by the Dark Mage's powerful punch.
He no longer knows what it means to be a god.
A god represents strength, creativity—what else does it signify?
And as for Ascending to Godhood, that kind of god seems even more powerful, but without the Heart of the God or divine blood, one cannot use their own life essence to shape humanity.
Perhaps gods who Ascend to Godhood are not truly gods at all, but rather powerful humans?
If that’s the case, then the Endless Divine Realm and the Divine Realm System can still hold their ground without collapsing.
Wei Chen flew to the side of the Dark Mage, carefully observing him for a moment before asking, "Grandpa, if you break through this time, what kind of power will you gain?"
"A hundred times, a hundred times what I have now! My Stellar Technique has nine levels in total. Over the years, I have cultivated to the sixth level and am now preparing to break through to the seventh. After reaching the seventh level, I will gain another hundred times more power, then another hundred times for the eighth level, and again for the ninth level. Finally, with another hundred times increase, I will be able to ascend to godhood," the Dark Mage said with a face full of anticipation. He had thought that achieving godhood was impossible in this lifetime due to his limited years and impending fate.
But the good news was that Wei Chen had become the Boundary God of the Demon Realm, capable of extending a person's lifespan within certain limits. Living for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years was possible. With that in mind, ascending to godhood seemed much more attainable. The Dark Mage believed that even though the levels of the Stellar Technique became increasingly difficult and required more time to cultivate, if he were given several more thousand years, he would definitely reach godhood!
With Wei Chen around, the Dark Mage felt a sense of assurance about his path to godhood. Without Wei Chen, he would not have had that confidence; he would have only prepared for his afterlife without any thoughts of continuing to cultivate the Stellar Technique or seizing this opportunity for breakthrough.
It was because of Wei Chen, this good grandson, that the Dark Mage found hope.
"Stellar Technique... Alright, Grandpa, you focus on your breakthrough first. Once you finish, pass down the Stellar Technique to me so I can try cultivating it as well. I already possess Divine Power and my body has top-tier capacity; I believe cultivating the Stellar Technique won't be too difficult for me."
"Good! You focus on protecting me well. Once I reach the seventh level of Stellar Technique, I will certainly gain deeper insights into it. At that point, when I share it with you, your cultivation will yield twice the result with half the effort. Plus with your divine physique and talent, perhaps it won't be long before you reach the realm of ascension to godhood. When that time comes, you won't just have Divine Power; you'll also possess immense strength, making it much easier to deal with enemies."
"Exactly, Grandpa. Just focus on your retreat; there's no need to worry about anything else."
With that, Wei Chen waved his hand and set up a massive Formation Array that enveloped the Dark Mage within it. Inside this formation, the Dark Mage felt no trace of external energy or even a hint of sound. However, the flow of energy inside and outside remained free and unobstructed for his cultivation.
Wei Chen's skills in Formation Assignment had grown stronger; it was akin to the formation that enveloped Soul Beast Mountain. A typical Secondary God who specialized in formations wouldn't be able to create such a thing without a Formation Blueprint. Relying on his imagination and creativity, Wei Chen was nearly invincible in formations among those at his level.
It was precisely because Wei Chen had always focused on formations that his combat strength seemed rather weak.
Especially in terms of physical quality and strength, those were his most vulnerable aspects.
Seeing the immense power of the Dark Mage made Wei Chen itch with desire; he eagerly wished to attain such strength himself.
The Dark Mage had entered a state of closed-door cultivation, while Wei Chen stood guard nearby, enveloping the Dark Mage in a powerful sphere of Mental Strength. Every subtle flow of energy within the Dark Mage was under Wei Chen's scrutiny.
He gradually realized that even in daylight, there existed Stellar Power, albeit weak and overshadowed by the sun. As night fell and the stars filled the sky, a peculiar connection seemed to form between the Dark Mage and the night, allowing a surge of Stellar Power to flood into the Dark Mage's body.
Wei Chen "saw" those streams of Stellar Power, infused with the Power of the Stars, coursing through the Dark Mage's limbs and flesh, recklessly invading his skin and muscles. Yet after this invasion, the Power of the Stars carried a unique restorative force that healed the Dark Mage's damaged skin and flesh back to its original state.
Through this continuous cycle of assault and repair, the Dark Mage's body grew increasingly resilient. Every cell underwent tempering, even the weakest parts like his eyeballs were gradually strengthened through this process.
"No blind spots at all; even the eyeballs are being tempered—truly impressive!"
"If this continues, Grandpa's body will likely be tougher than some high-grade weapons. When others wield weapons, he can use his fists instead—he'll be faster and stronger. How could he possibly lose?"
"The Stellar Technique... such a marvelous method of cultivation! It really opens my eyes! Is Ascend to Godhood truly a form of Ascend to Godhood?"
"Those who haven't achieved Ascend to Godhood cannot verify it; they can only try it themselves. The greatest sign of a god is immortality. I wonder if gods who have achieved Ascend to Godhood can truly attain eternal life?"
"My body is considered average to slightly weak among gods of the same level. Once Grandpa teaches me the Stellar Technique, I want to see if my greatest weakness can be improved."
With many thoughts swirling in his mind, Wei Chen quietly kept watch over the Dark Mage.
Time passed swiftly.
