The True God?
Wei Chen's understanding of the concept of divinity had been constantly evolving.
In the early days, during his time at the Cloud Spirit Sect, he believed that the pinnacle of cultivation in the realm of Three Souls and Seven Spirits, known as the Soul Realm, was what constituted a god.
After encountering the Demon Lotus Emperor, Wei Chen felt that someone like the Demon Lotus Emperor was indeed a god.
However, once he arrived in the Demon Domain and witnessed its formidable power, Wei Chen's perspective broadened significantly.
Even beings of the caliber of Dark Mages were not considered gods; they were merely top-tier experts within the Demon Domain, referred to as Emperor-Level Experts.
Perhaps the Divine Kings of the Ancient World were gods?
Yet, circumstances soon changed. Wei Chen gradually realized that even the Divine Kings of the Ancient World, such as the Great Merchant God King, did not truly qualify as gods.
At that time, in Wei Chen's eyes, a god was represented by the Senior Sea God. After learning more through the Senior Sea God, Wei Chen came to believe that everyone within the Endless Divine Realm was a god.
Unfortunately, Wei Chen eventually altered that belief; even figures from the Supreme God Realm were not gods.
Although those with Divine Realm strength from the Endless Divine Realm could create life and humanity within lower Spatial Planes, Wei Chen understood that this was not true creation but rather guidance—guiding those lower Spatial Planes to manifest humanity. Thus, gods became those deities of those Spatial Planes, perhaps Boundary Gods or figures from human faith.
In summary, none of them were truly gods.
A true god is one who can independently create life.
Everyone told Wei Chen that the True God World represented divinity.
Those who possessed a True God World were considered the sole god within their own True God World.
That was what constituted a true god.
However, that only meant being a god within the True God World; in the other Spatial Planes, one was not a god.
The mark of a god is the ability to create humanity.
If one cannot create humanity, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot be considered a true god.
The concept of a god is extremely complex and cannot be clearly defined in just a few sentences.
At this moment, Killing God Senior inexplicably mentioned the word "god," leaving Wei Chen unsure of how to respond.
He did not wish to enter the Source of Fire Flower on his own; it was Killing God Senior who had tempted him to go. As for the specific reasons, Killing God Senior only hinted that there were great benefits inside.
Wei Chen took a moment to gather his thoughts. Before entering the Source of Fire Flower, he needed to clarify things; otherwise, he would feel uneasy and unstable when entering the Fire Source.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Chen said, “Isn’t a true god someone who possesses the strength of the True God World within their own True God World? Only within their own True God World can they create humanity!”
Killing God Senior nodded but then shook his head and said, “Yes and no.”
“What do you mean?” Wei Chen asked.
Killing God Senior explained, “Within the True God World, you are indeed a god. However, in other worlds, you are not because you cannot create humanity there.”
“I understand,” Wei Chen nodded.
Killing God Senior smiled and said, “However, within that fire or at the bottom of that fire resides a true god! He can create humanity in any Spatial Plane and under any circumstances.”
“So powerful?” Wei Chen was astonished. Does such a level of power truly exist in this world?
If someone could achieve that, calling them merely powerful would be an understatement. The most fitting term would be "god"!
The word "god" indeed encompasses so much! In fact, using the term "Divine Realm" in Endless Divine Realm is an insult to true gods. Supreme God is even more laughable; how could it be supreme? Even the mid-level members of Bloodshed Shop cannot compare.
"Ha ha, what do you think? In my understanding, there should be five beings capable of creating humans. Those five are known as the Ancient Gods. Their direct descendants are referred to as the Ancient Clans. As for the rest of humanity, they are products of intermarriage among the five clans," Killing God Senior explained.
"Killing God Senior, you're getting more and more mysterious. Where did you get this information? Weren't you just talking about that powerful Divine Vessel you had never seen or heard of before? How come now you inexplicably know so much? And you're even speculating that there's a god within it?" Wei Chen said, somewhat speechless. Was Killing God Senior just boasting? In such a situation, it seemed impossible for him to be exaggerating. Killing God Senior must be serious, but it really felt like his words were a bit too Sword Mountain.
Donghua and the other six quietly guarded Wei Chen, completely unaware that he had already finished his meditation and was in peak physical condition. If they knew that Wei Chen was just bragging, they would probably want to curse him out for making them guard him so earnestly.
In Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness, Killing God Senior chuckled coldly and said, "Child, what do you understand? When I was in the Spatial Plane where the Bloodshed Shop is located, I read many books. They say that if one is unattractive, one should read more. Although I am quite handsome, reading more is never a bad thing."
"Alright then, you're impressive," Wei Chen said, giving a thumbs up to Killing God Senior. It was truly remarkable that he could say such things.
Killing God Senior continued, "Listen carefully; I will only say this once."
"Isn't that obvious? Do you think people at our level can't remember something after hearing it once?" Wei Chen replied, feeling exasperated.
Killing God Senior thought about it and said, "The key point is too important; it concerns our future path. So I kindly reminded you."
"Killing God Senior, you’re not going to find me another powerful enemy, are you? I can't handle that! One Bloodshed Shop is already enough for me," Wei Chen said with a bitter smile. It seemed that the benefits brought by Killing God Senior far outweighed the threats at this point!
Killing God Senior snapped back, "Child, I'm not going to waste time with you. Listen carefully: I once read some strange stories in a book that included the origin of humanity."
Wei Chen replied, "I'm all ears."
Killing God Senior nodded in satisfaction and continued, "At that time, I thought the book was ridiculous and deceptive; I didn't pay much attention to it. But now I realize it might actually be true. At least the legends about the Ancient Gods and Ancient Clans are real."
"The Ancient Gods and Ancient Clans? Killing God Senior, can you please finish your thought all at once? This teasing is exhausting," Wei Chen complained.
Every time at such critical moments, Killing God Senior always held back information; people like him usually had three-meter-tall grass growing on their graves.
"Alright then, I'll finish my thought all at once. The book described the origin of humanity: during the primordial period of the universe, there were no humans. Later on, from the primordial forces of the universe emerged five gods—these five gods are known as the Five Ancient Gods: Gold God, Wood God, Water God, Fire God, and Earth God. They were born from the chaos and cannot simply be described by strength; they are gods—the ancestors of all humanity."
"After the Five Gods of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were born, they traveled through countless Spatial Planes in the universe and began to shape the Ancient Clans according to their attributes: the Golden Clan, Wood Clan, Water Tribe, Fire Tribe, and Earth Tribe. These Five Ancient Clans represented humanity's primitive forms with very singular physical traits and bloodlines. Over time, as the Five Ancient Gods traversed through vast cosmic systems shaping generations of Ancient Clans, intermingling became inevitable. Two or even three or four or five Ancient Clans intertwined within the same universe. Initially, these Ancient Clans fought against each other; gradually they realized fighting was ineffective and began to establish peace agreements."
"Later, the Five Ancient Clans intermarried, resulting in countless humans. These individuals had complex bloodlines and were able to cultivate multiple powers, rather than being limited to a single type of energy."
"This is the origin of all humanity. After the Ancient Clan, humans became mixed in their constitutions, and pure bloodlines ceased to exist. It was precisely because of these great integrations that human strength began to grow stronger."
"Eventually, some so-called gods, like those from the Endless Divine Realm's Divine Realm cultivation system, or the Twelfth Level Deity from the Bloodshed Shop, were merely humans at best. Even those gods possessing True God World capabilities could only shape humanity within their own True God World; they could not casually create an Ancient Clan like the Five Ancient Gods."
Listening to Killing God Senior's words, Wei Chen felt as if he were listening to a story; it was truly fascinating!
"Killing God Senior, does that mean the Fire Tribe is also an Ancient Clan?" Wei Chen asked.
Killing God Senior replied, "They can be considered an Ancient Clan, but their bloodline has become quite thin. They are not as powerful as the first generation of Ancient Clans created by the Five Ancient Gods. The Fire Tribe within this Fire Clan Secret Realm is still regarded as an Ancient Clan, yet they do not possess significant strength, comparable to those in the Endless Divine Realm."
"What does that have to do with fire?" Wei Chen inquired again.
Killing God Senior hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Fire is the place where the Fire God resides. I have seen descriptions of fire in records; in different worlds, the energy of fire varies, but it generally reflects the strength of top cultivators in that world. Therefore, the fire appearing in the Endless Divine Realm should correspond to a Twelfth Level Deity that has not been imprisoned by the Bloodshed Shop. Even in the world where Bloodshed Shop exists, a Twelfth Level Deity represents the peak realm. The fire here should possess power similar to that of a Twelfth Level Deity. However, the fire within the Fire Clan Secret Realm feels far beyond the strength of a Twelfth Level Divine Realm by countless multiples."
"You have witnessed Twelfth Level Divine Realm beings, such as Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three from the Lost City; they are all Twelfth Level Deities. Yet can their power compare to even a hair of this fire?"
Killing God Senior shot Wei Chen a cold glance and continued, "Thus, the fire here is undoubtedly strong and terrifyingly superior. According to that book, only in places where the Fire God descends can fire be born that reaches the limits of Spatial Plane's strongest beings. If the fire within the Fire Clan Secret Realm exceeds that of a Twelfth Level Deity by countless multiples, then the Fire God must be inside."
"The Fire Tribe within the Fire Clan Secret Realm was created by the Fire God himself. However, since he has created too many Fire Tribes over time, this particular Fire Tribe may have gone through numerous generations. The Fire God's power has been declining consistently, leading to a decrease in quality among the Fire Tribes he creates."
