Wei Chen found it quite easy to break through to the Tenth Level Divine Realm; all it took was a little effort and a determined push forward.
However, the words of Killing God Senior served as a reminder.
First, he needed to enhance his Mental Strength before elevating his Divine Power realm, so that both could be equally strong.
If Wei Chen were to break through to the Tenth Level Divine Realm at this moment, his Mental Strength would quickly follow suit and reach the Tenth Level Divine Realm as well. In name, he would possess the strength of a Tenth Level Divine Realm Mental Strength, but in reality, it would only be at the Ninth Level Divine Realm.
That would be counterproductive.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Chen decided to remain at the Ninth Level Divine Realm for now. He would gather as much Fire Element Energy's Divine Power as possible and only elevate his Divine Power realm once his Mental Strength had improved.
In the Endless Divine Realm, with his Ninth Level Divine Realm status combined with the Ninth Level Deity's Mental Strength, along with the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords and powerful Stellar Power, he felt adequately equipped.
Most importantly, Wei Chen speculated that when faced with an insurmountable enemy, his Demon Lotus Bloodline would likely showcase its might once again.
In that case, within the Endless Divine Realm, he could almost walk through it unchallenged. The difference between the Ninth Level Divine Realm and Tenth Level Divine Realm was negligible.
As he ventured deeper into the passageway, Wei Chen increasingly sensed that the Fire Element Energy's Divine Power was becoming denser. In the Endless Divine Realm, within limited spatial units, Divine Power was scarce. But here, it spread abundantly, thick and viscous like liquid. Even normal walking felt hindered; it was as if he were moving through water.
Such concentrated Divine Power was beyond what Wei Chen's Dantian could store; it felt like a missed opportunity.
Suddenly, Wei Chen halted in his tracks and exclaimed, "That's right! My True God World is vast and boundless. As my Mental Strength and Divine Power realms increase, my True God World also expands. Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring this Divine Power into my True God World?"
He called out to Killing God Senior, "Killing God Senior, please respond quickly; I have something important to ask you."
"What is it?" Killing God Senior's lazy voice echoed in Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
"Killing God Senior," Wei Chen said, "the Fire Element Energy's Divine Power here is incredibly dense and inexhaustible. I'm wondering if I can bring this Divine Power into my True God World?"
Killing God Senior frowned and replied, "That is possible. However, your True God World no longer needs energy replenishment; it has already become a complete world. The only issue is that you cannot yet release your True God domain. If you were to bring this Fire Element Energy's Divine Power inside, have you considered that because it consists solely of Fire Element Energy's Divine Power, your True God World might transform into a Fire Clan Secret Realm?"
"When the time comes, nothing will survive, and only those who cultivate the Fire Divine Power will be able to practice. Do you think that's a good idea?" Killing God Senior asked.
Wei Chen replied, "I've thought about it. If we limit the number of practitioners, it should be fine, right? Just keep an eye on it for me. When the plants in my True God World are about to wither, I'll stop supplying the Fire Element Energy's Divine Power. How does that sound?"
"Alright, no problem. Give it a try," Killing God Senior agreed.
Wei Chen immediately controlled the True God World, opening a passage between it and the outside world. A vast amount of Fire Element Energy's Divine Power surged in like a flood, finding its outlet and pouring into Wei Chen's True God World.
This was a simple dilution; the highly concentrated Fire Element Energy's Divine Power instinctively rushed into Wei Chen's True God World as soon as it sensed the emptiness within.
All Wei Chen had to do was open the entrance to the True God World and connect it to the outside. The rest—the Fire Element Energy's Divine Power—was self-sustaining and required no further concern from him.
Inside the True God World, Killing God Senior was already aware that the Fire Element Energy's Divine Power would be flooding in. However, the three leaders of the Lost City suddenly sensed the presence of this Divine Power and hurriedly flew toward its source.
Upon seeing the Divine Power pouring in through the connection, they were utterly astonished. Where did such pure Fire Element Energy's Divine Power come from?
Just as they were about to step outside to investigate, Wei Chen's voice came through: "Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, please don't go out there to die. The moment you step outside, you'll be finished."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were unconvinced. Finished in an instant? Who were they trying to fool?
Killing God Senior's shadowy figure flew in front of them, blocking their path. He said calmly, "If you don't want to die, stay inside. There's a powerful Twelfth Level Deity out there; against that level of Divine Vessel, you'll be like dolls."
"Killing God, don't try to fool us. Are there places in the Endless Divine Realm that we can't go?" Uncle said coldly.
Killing God Senior replied, "Then go ahead and try. You'll be left with nothing but ashes; don't say I didn't warn you."
Hearing this from Killing God Senior made Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three hesitate to move forward.
Second Uncle frowned and asked, "Then how can Wei Chen be out there?"
"Wei Chen naturally has his special means. Anyway, I advise you not to go out there. You with physical bodies should definitely stay put; even I wouldn't dare step outside as just a Soul Body," Killing God Senior warned them based on his own experiences.
In fact, the three old fellows of the Lost City, including Killing God Senior, were indifferent to it all. If they died, so be it; it was none of their concern.
However, Killing God Senior considered the battles ahead and realized that having these three old fellows around would still be somewhat helpful, after all, they were Twelfth Level Deities.
As long as they were alive, they would contribute something. If they died, it would be a waste; their ashes would not even remain, and their Soul Bodies would be burned into nothingness.
"Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, if you want to enhance your strength, feel free to absorb the Fire Element Energy's Divine Power. This Divine Power is inexhaustible, so you don't need to worry about running out. As for coming out to take a look, I advise you to stay put; coming out means death—instant death," Wei Chen communicated.
Hearing this from Wei Chen, even though the three uncles were eager to go out and see for themselves, they had no choice but to abandon the idea.
The vast and endless Fire Divine Power surged into Wei Chen's True God World. Although this Fire Divine Power was quite pure, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three no longer needed it; they used Green Energy Stones instead. Other attributes of Divine Power were still inferior compared to Green Energy.
Uncle said, "Wei Chenzi, you can take your time with that. We appreciate your goodwill; however, Divine Power has little effect on Twelfth Level Deities. After absorbing Divine Power, we would still need to refine and compress it to purify it into Green Energy. Since we have Green Energy Stones, absorbing Divine Power is not cost-effective."
After hearing Uncle's words, Wei Chen asked through telepathy, "What exactly is the difference between Divine Power and Green Energy?"
"The difference lies in attributes. Regardless of the attribute, Divine Power possesses some degree of property. For instance, the Fire Divine Power you brought in is purely fire-based and is excellent for fire cultivators. However, once we reach the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, attribute-based Divine Power becomes useless; what we need is attribute-less Divine Power. Green Energy is essentially attribute-less Divine Power."
"Generally speaking, Green Energy is hard to find. Things like Green Energy Stones are incredibly precious; ordinary forces wouldn't even have a piece as small as a fingernail. Without Green Energy Stones, one has to absorb Divine Power themselves. Any attribute of Divine Power can be absorbed; once it's infused into the Dantian, one must compress and refine it to purify the attribute-based Divine Power into attribute-less Divine Power—essentially Green Energy."
Uncle's explanation was thorough, and Wei Chen instantly understood.
"Alright then, you all carry on with your tasks; I won't worry about this Fire Divine Power. I'll stop when the threat of concentrated Fire Divine Power in my True God World endangers survival," Wei Chen said calmly.
Uncle chuckled and replied, "Wei Chenzi, don't worry; your True God World is somewhat peculiar—it can't be filled up."
"What do you mean?" Wei Chen asked.
Uncle explained further: "For an ordinary person's True God World, even in the late stages of Twelfth Level Deity development, it wouldn't be one percent as large as yours. You are currently only a Ninth Level Deity; however, your True God World is unimaginably vast. When we perfected our True God Worlds back then, I estimate that yours now is only about one percent of what we had."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Wei Chen was astonished.
"Second Uncle" continued, "Wei Chenzi, I really don't know what kind of bloodline you possess. Your True God World is incredibly powerful. By the time you reach the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, your True God World will likely be tens of thousands of times larger than that of others at the same level of power. With such a vast True God World, we can't even imagine it. You can confidently infuse it with Fire Divine Power; there’s no risk of overloading it to the point where life cannot be sustained within."
Why hadn't Killing God Senior mentioned this to Wei Chen?
After finishing his conversation with the three uncles, Wei Chen asked Killing God Senior, "Killing God Senior, why was I never informed about their assessment of my True God World?"
Killing God Senior appeared somewhat awkward and replied, "I couldn't be bothered to tell you. Honestly, it's just that your True God World is a bit larger. I don't see any benefits from it myself."
Wei Chen pondered for a moment in confusion. Since he couldn't make sense of it, he decided not to dwell on it; as long as it wasn't a bad thing, that was enough.
In truth, there was a reason why Killing God Senior chose not to inform Wei Chen.
When he first entered Wei Chen's True God World, Killing God Senior had been concerned for his own safety. He feared that if they encountered a powerful adversary and Wei Chen's True God World came under attack, his Soul Body could be destroyed, which would be disastrous. Thus, he set up the formidable World-Ending Thirteen Swords Formation to envelop Wei Chen's entire True God World.
However, as Wei Chen's strength increased, his World-Ending Thirteen Swords Formation could no longer cover the entirety of Wei Chen's True God World.
Moreover, during this recent surge in power within the Fire Source's internal passageway, Wei Chen's True God World expanded thousands of times. Killing God Senior could not possibly arrange such an enormous sword formation. Even if he managed to set something up barely sufficient for now, once Wei Chen's strength increased again in the future, wouldn't he have to add more?
Honestly, that would be exhausting.
Thus, Killing God Senior felt awkward and chose not to reveal this to conceal his own "failure."
