Chapter 658: Book of Chaos: 2nd Chapter (2/2)
The Champion's Physique is acquired during the Champion Knight Realm. It is divided into: Golden, Platinum, Saint, Immortal, Perfected Immortal, Deity and Perfected Deity.
This divisions are also applied in the Empyrean Changes. The final result will determine if the individual has the qualifications to challenge the known peak of Knighthood. Those who only experienced the 'Saint Empyrean Knight Change' and below are unqualified to even dream about reaching this Divine Knight Realm.
Of course, this isn't always the case…
There are some rumors that there was a person who only had a Platinum-ranked Champion's Physique, managed to defy the heavens and reach the Divine Knight Realm through some means. Of course this was only rumors but there are some witnesses says otherwise.
For the Orthodox Path followers, they not only have to worry about the qualifications which were mentioned above, they also have to pay attention to the sheer amount of time and resources they need in order to make the breakthrough. Additionally, this is the stage where they have to start peeking through the Heavenly Secret Origin that resonates with them.
The Heavenly Secret Origin is crucial in this stage since it will point them to the path where they need to go. Without it, their foundations to reach Divinity will be non-existent.
For Raven, he roughly had to do the same, only before he could even think about breaking through, he has to make sure that he becomes the Heir of the Ancestral Divine Crown first. Meaning that he had to gain the acknowledgement of all the constellations at the Monument of Stars.
And finally, the last Transition for the 2nd Chapter, the method that will allow him to reach the Divine Knight Realm - 'The Ascension Ritual'.
Divine Knight Realm also knows as the Realm of Divinity. Those who reached this stage are worshipped by the masses and will automatically have a say about the matters of the Divine Realm. Most of these people are part of the Dawn Council, some wanted to remain free and unaffiliated, becoming hermits or wanderers.
The amount of people who wants to step on this stage and the things they are willing to do…
For the followers of the Orthodox Path, it's no longer the problem of mastering the laws. It's about establishing a path that belongs only to them. In order to do this, they have to discover the Heavenly Secret Origin that resonates with them, once they communed with it, that's the only time that they could explore their limits and establish their own road, in other words - their True Divinity.
For Raven, he needed to experience something more than that. Aside from discovering his Heavenly Secret Origin, he had to withstand the baptism of the 'Spirit World', meaning that he has to make a trip there to form his Divinity.
It was an absurd requirement and Raven didn't even want to think about it for now since it gives him a massive headache.
Geezer was too demanding. The location of the Spirit World wasn't even mentioned in the 2nd Chapter at all. How was he supposed to find a 'Missing World' without any clues? Additionally, the term 'Baptism' doesn't sound right to him, for all he know, this so called Baptism might as well be synonymous to 'Torture' in Geezer's vocabulary.
He's already calling it…after all his Master was a conman after all.
After making sure that he got everything correct, Raven ended his mediation and collapsed on his makeshift bed. An exhausted groan escaped his lips as he stared at the tent's ceiling.
”…well, you wanted this to happen right? You subjected yourself into suffering already. You've been conned once more, how does it feel?” Raven mocked himself and chuckled.
Raven could only do this much, after all he's already in a path of no return. He already built his foundations and it's too late for him to change anything. The only choice left for him is to follow this road and see through it to the end.
”…whatever, I'm sleepy. I'll just cross the bridge when I get there. Hmph…troublesome.”
