Chapter 985 - Answers To Achieving Immortality (1/2)

Zhong Yue's heart thumped but didn't reveal it, "Do you have an answer then, senior martial brother?"

The innate god smiled, "These questions are tough ones. I couldn't answer them previously but after Mister Bi Luo had us all out to learn new things, I told him about these two questions and received two ways to answer the questions."

He smiled confidently and waited for Zhong Yue to ask the two questions again.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue pretended to have his hopes up and looked towards the innate god as he waited for the innate god to reveal the answers.

On the side, the Dating Clan's Deity Emperor was puzzled, Mister Wuji should ask the questions again right now and wait for Elder Luo to reveal the answers but Mister Wuji had forgotten this because of how eager he is.

The innate god Elder Luo also thought the same so he decided to skip the platitudes, "Your first question was how to achieve immortality as a mortal, and the second question was how to become an innate god. These two questions were actually the same as an innate god is immortal, hence, the question becomes how to achieve immortality. Now, I have an answer for this question."

Zhong Yue's eyes lit up and his heart tightened for he never expected Feng Wuji to ask such questions and that the innate god had an answer for the question!

Does this means that I will know how to become an innate god?

Elder Luo continued, "Mister Bi Luo said in order to live as long as the universe, the innate living beings tried endless methods. In the Dark Age, there were worshipping techniques that had the mortals praying to the innates so that their spirits and souls would remain in the world forever. However, such a technique could only preserve the spirit and soul but not the body. Without the living beings' prayers, the spirit and soul would eventually die."

Zhong Yue murmured in surprise, "This technique is actually from the Dark Age?"

Elder Luo nodded and continued, "Once enough people worship you, the power of worship will gradually alter your soul, allowing it to slowly take form. Given enough time, the void soul would materialize and turn into an innate god. However, this process requires at least 2,000,000 years and no postnate living beings' spirit and soul could last such a long time, even a monarch's spirit and soul could only last 120,000 years at most."

The disappointed Zhong Yue then asked again, "And the second way?"

"The second way is through the Void World created by Sui Sovereign. The time flow in the Void World is extremely slow and spirits and souls that linger within would last almost forever but they would still die if no one worships them."

Elder Luo continued, "The Void World was called as the Void World because no real objects could enter, including the postnatal's body. Only their spirits and souls could enter, but once the race becomes extinct, the spirit and soul will die without prayers."

Zhong Yue then recalled something and he asked, "Then could the innate gods enter the Void World?"

"Innate god's soul and body are one so of course they could enter, but the postnate living being's body will not be able to hide from the erosion of time."

Elder Luo added, "The third way is to revert the postnatal state back to the innate state and there are many ways to do this. Countless outstanding postnate beings explored the wonders behind the reversion and many among them were Heavenly Monarchs. However, not many of them succeeded."

Zhong Yue frowned slightly and said, "I heard of the possibility for the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture] to revert the postnatal state back to the innate state."

Elder Luo smiled, "Ah, the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture], how familiar but ever since its creation, none of those that cultivate this art managed to become an innate god. The fourth way Mister Bi Luo said is to directly possess an innate god!"

Zhong Yue had a scare and he shouted, "But how? With their Yuan Shen and body as one, they could only be killed! This won't work!"

Elder Luo nodded, "Indeed, but there are still many out there that will give it a shot. Apart from the four mentioned ways, there are one more way and the one with the highest success rate."

Zhong Yue and the Dating Clan's Deity Emperor immediately sat up straight and paid full attention fearing that they will miss a word.

"The fifth way is…."

Elder Luo paused for a second and said seriously, "Becoming a Dao God!"

"Dao God?"

The two listeners were dumbfounded; while the Deity Emperor had never heard of this term and knew nothing about it, Zhong Yue knew exactly what that was.

When Goddess Hou Tu created Reincarnation, she was blessed with a sudden moment of wonderful vision, which allowed her to ascend into a Dao God, shed away her previous body that later on became Goddess Shen Hou and she entered that impossible world.

Apart from Goddess Hou Tu, there were another few Dao Gods in Dao Venerate Fu Min's era.

However, according to what Zhong Yue knew, only innate gods were able to become Dao Gods; even for someone as powerful as Dao Venerate Fu Min, who was a postnatal, he was not able to enter the impossible world after possessing power and knowledge on par with a Dao God.

"Senior martial brother, I thought they said that a postnate living being had no chance of becoming a Dao God?"

Zhong Yue hesitated, "I reckon that it is even harder to become a Dao God than becoming an innate god?"

Elder Luo smiled right away, "This was exactly my reaction when Mister Bi Luo told me. He said that in order to become a Dao God, a postnatal must shed previous bodies but as to how they would do that, he is not sure at all. After all, no postnatals have ever pulled this off."

Zhong Yue was slightly caught off guard and he asked, "Shed previous bodies? What is the reason for this?"
