”Refine the Heavenly Spark?” Yan Zaizen was taken aback by that declaration. He immediately followed up, his tone suspicious and unsure, ”You want me to become a Heavenly God?” These words caused his Dao to pulsate slightly.
He had already refined a trace of Heavenly Will, infusing it into his Dao Seed, a nascent form of his Dao Heart. Therefore, reclaiming the source of its origin made his Heavenly Dao Seed throb.
Ezekiel gave Yan Zaizen a deep look before chuckling, a tinge of coldness within. ”Of course not. I intend to become the Heavenly God, reclaiming my family's legacy!” His words contained nail-biting determination that could shake the soul.
Yan Zaizen frowned. ”...Then?”
”When one wants to claim Heaven's Spark, there's feedback during the process that can shatter the Dao of the refiner. In fact, its highly unlikely for the first person to refine it to survive. Only a False Grand Dao, a Dao that contains a trace of True Origin, can withstand that process.
”The refinement process can best be described as removing the former cultivator's Dao Will. Besides myself, only you are reliable enough in my eyes.” Ezekiel's explanation didn't tame Yan Zaizen's worries.
”You want me to refine the Heavenly Spark, resist the feedback, then give you it?” He felt a bit like this was a ludicrous proposal. Why wouldn't he just claim the Heavenly Spark himself, refine it himself? It was odd to think Ezekiel wouldn't understand the allure.
However, Ezekiel didn't experience an iota of change to his expression when questioned. He merely stated, ”When you become Heavenly God, you can never leave that Heaven until death.”
When those words were said, Yan Zaizen stilled. His amber-gold eyes blazed with luminescent light as he stared at Ezekiel deeply. Then, he started to laugh. Yes, laugh! It was loud and suffused with a boisterous energy.
Ezekiel still wasn't disturbed by Yan Zaizen's reaction. Shin Xuanji felt this entire incident made little sense. How could that be enough to allow someone to refuse to become a literal God within their world? However, Shin Xuanji didn't know Yan Zaizen.
In truth, Yan Zaizen's Dao was based heavily on personal freedom. In fact, it was the basis of his every desire; he wished to control his own fate, go where he wishes, when he wishes, without any form of restriction.
How could he accept tethering himself to this location. While the 27th Heaven was massive, and by no means lacked variety, a cage was a cage no matter its size. Ezekiel had clashed with Yan Zaizen's False Grand Dao, unlike Shin Xuanji who only clashed with his Heavenly Dao Seed. The aura and its intrinsic quality wasn't something Shin Xuanji understood.
Even though he had his Bestowed Dao, it wasn't his False Grand Dao with his very True Origin infused within. It was far more telling in his truest and most complete self. Similar to how he knew Ezekiel would never do something without complete and utter confidence, nor trust a woman fully again, he knew about Yan Zaizen's infinite desire for freedom.
Wasn't his dream to always venture to unknown lands and seek new sights? He wanted to explore everything! This was the desire etched into his heart.
Ezekiel smirked. ”You done?”
Yan Zaizen laughter was still resounding and echoing beneath the night sky. Only after those words did he slowly lower his volume gradually until he only had a grin on his face. ”A Sovereign's Dao greatest trait is their insatiable desire, no?”
Ezekiel's smirk widened, and he nodded. Indeed!
Shaking his head, Yan Zaizen agreed! ”Fine. However, I have a few conditions!” There was no reason to refuse, but he had to cross off several things on his list.
Ezekiel expected no less from Yan Zaizen. If he was in the same position, he too would negotiate with benefits for himself. Just saving his original body wasn't enough. After all, Yan Zaizen definitely had several plans to achieve that, otherwise his clone wouldn't be so at ease.
”First condition: The True Spirit Path must be officialized and integrated into the Heavenly Law of Soul within this heaven!” This was his first and foremost priority. However, he didn't expect Ezekiel to still, his smirk lowering and his eyes flashing with mysterious light, a hint of uncertainty within.
Ezekiel asked in a voice darker than the night sky, ”Do you understand the consequence of doing that?” These words were splashing all sorts of solemn and heaviness within every syllable.
Yan Zaizen wasn't an idiot. He had long since understood what this meant, and it would descend the Heaven into a state of chaos. This had to do with the characteristics of an Artificial Soul. Regardless of what heaven, this path was strictly unable to be accepted into the Heavenly Law.
It wasn't just the True Spirit Path. All artificial soul-based Paths were blocked from entering the Heavenly Laws of Soul. This was heavily due to the ability known as Soul Transition. It was a characteristic that allowed souls to change their state of existence, for souls to become phantasms, wraiths, evil ghosts, or even spirits. Also, its how these types of changed souls can be reverted upon destruction into normal souls for reincarnation purposes.
