Chapter 549: Godhood (1/2)

When Lan was at this strongest, he had already reached the rank of an Overlord. Due to the seal he had put on himself, he had previously dropped to the King Rank of the Mortal World, which was the same as the difference between heaven and earth.

Even until now, he had still been stuck in the ranks of the mortal world. Although he had slowly been loosening the seal, he had not been able to reach the threshold of an immortal, but due to the epiphany, his seal made a jolt, resulting in him reaching the Deity Realm.

The Deity Realm was split into numerous ranks, but one needed to fulfill specific criteria to reach the next ranks.

Unlike the mortal realms where one could be promoted as long as they had gained enough energy, the promotions through the ranks of a Deity depended on one's comprehension.

As the rank implied, the New Gods were those who had just ascended to godhood. They began to use a new type of energy called Ancestral Worldpower, and their pool of energy was limited and unstable. It was a realm that could be reached by gaining enough energy, and at this rank, one did not have to have comprehended any Daos.

When a deity had managed to comprehend at least one minor dao and stabilize their Ancestral Worldpower pool, would it be possible for the Deity to advance to the Primordial Immortal rank.

Although it sounded good that one only needed to comprehend one minor dao, this in itself, was hard enough. The dao was elusive and hard to comprehend. One could not brainlessly gather energy to master a minor dao; it required a deep grasp of the dao's structure and an ability to comprehend the secrets of the universe.

Only one out of ten experts that ascended to godhood managed to reach the ranks of a Primordial Immortal, and only one out of five hundred could succeed within the first one thousand years.

The next rank was known as the Immortals of Creation. There were two ways to reach this rank, but the two different ways also determined the strength that the cultivator would control.

If one wished to gain the best benefits by reaching this rank, then they should have comprehended at least one major dao. By comprehending a major dao, the cultivator's body would be imbued with the energy of the dao, and would reach a level that other deities could not contend against.

Another way to reach this realm was to have previously become a Primeval Immortal and forcefully collect enough Ancestral Worldpower to remake one's body. Although this method would not produce the same results as the one gained by comprehending a major dao, it was still able to help one reach the rank of an Immortal of Creation.

This rank was called Immortal of Creation for a reason. Upon remodeling their bodies, they would be able to use their Ancestral Worldpower to create independent spaces.
