Lu Yuan ignites the Eternal Divine Fire, dramatically increasing his power and confirming his ability to contend with previous powerful foes. He discovers the immense cost of igniting the fire, consuming all accumulated Divine Material, but finds solace in its potential for future growth. Lu Yuan contemplates the unique power of his Divine Fire, its lethality towards souls, and its potential mutation due to the Scripture of Celestial Divine Prison. Finally, he turns his attention to the future, strategizing how to attain a Divine Position despite the scarcity of unoccupied Great Dao Laws.
"With no vacant divine positions, can no one ascend to godhood?" Lu Yuan's countenance grew solemn, a profound understanding of the arduous and perilous journey toward godhood finally dawning upon him. No wonder, back in the Supreme Origin Divine Realm, those formidable immortal beings and beings at the demigod level had fought with such desperation, even risking their very lives, for the Supreme Origin Saint Master's Original Divine Format. For this Original Divine Format represented their sole pathway to becoming gods! Ultimately, whether Human Race or divine beings, selfishness was their inherent nature. Those who achieved godhood first would inevitably hoard the Authority of Law, employing every conceivable method to obstruct any future aspirants. This was not a matter of race or morality; it was a fundamental aspect of existence. Currently, with all three thousand Great Paths already claimed by their respective masters, there was no glimmer of hope for a new demigod like Lu Yuan, nor even for those ancient demigods who had existed for countless epochs, to ascend to godhood! "While the Supreme Law remains elusive to comprehension, and the deities of the All Heavens boast eternal lifespans, it's highly probable that the authority of the nine Supreme Laws has long been monopolized by other deities." "Does this imply that I am destined to remain in the Demigod Realm indefinitely, with no prospect of Enlightenment Dao and eventual godhood for the remainder of my existence?" Lu Yuan's brow furrowed, confronted by such a formidable quandary for the very first time. It was in this moment that he truly comprehended the depths of despair that must have consumed those ancient demigod powerhouses. Despite their exceptional talents and their innate potential for godhood, the absence of available divine positions rendered their lifelong ambitions unachievable. Their lifelong meditation and cultivation ultimately amounted to naught. This profound sense of hopelessness and powerlessness, he realized, could only be truly grasped through personal experience! "No, this matter is too critical; I must consult the Will of the Heavens." After a prolonged period of contemplation, unable to devise a solution, Lu Yuan activated his Simulation Mark and directly presented his dilemma to the Will of the Heavens. In the ensuing moment, thousands of resplendent colors converged, coalescing into a hazy silhouette before him. Compared to the shadowy deities like the Blood God and the God of Illusion, the silhouette formed by the Will of the Heavens exuded an aura of significantly greater dread. As soon as it materialized, a terrifying presence permeated the surroundings, akin to the forceful upheaval of mountains and seas, causing the entire Simulation Space to tremble! "The Great Path is immutable, divine positions are finite; indeed, without the Authority of Law, ascension to godhood is impossible." Upon receiving Lu Yuan's inquiry, the Will of the Heavens remained silent for a brief interval before delivering its response. Subsequently, Lu Yuan gleaned further insights from the Will of the Heavens. He learned that the very reason for the Will of the Heavens' personal intervention in the Supreme Origin Divine Realm stemmed from the extraordinary value of an Original Divine Format, far exceeding anyone's wildest estimations. Furthermore, the Supreme Origin Saint Master had orchestrated events across countless eons, utilizing the Original Divine Format as a catalyst, with the ultimate objective of collaborating with the Will of the Heavens and two other divine-level powerhouses of the Human Race to trap and vanquish the God of Illusion. However, the annihilation of deities proved exceptionally difficult; even with the combined might of the Burial Elder, War God Lin Yuan, and a portion of the Will of the Heavens, completely eradicating the God of Illusion remained an arduous task. During their exchange, the Will of the Heavens casually gestured, conjuring two luminous spheres that materialized before Lu Yuan. Within these spheres churned an abundance of Divine Origin, radiating an immense divine might that defied direct observation. At such close proximity, Lu Yuan's heart pounded, and goosebumps prickled his skin. What intensified his reaction was that one of the spheres pulsed erratically, emitting a familiar fluctuation that evoked a profound sense of déjà vu! "Could this possibly be..." Lu Yuan's eyelids quivered slightly as he began to tentatively surmise the origin of these two luminous spheres. "The God of Illusion presides over lies and deception. Although we inflicted grievous injuries upon him, he has not been entirely destroyed." "This is the Original Divine Format of the God of Illusion. Should one manage to refine it and fully master its Illusionary Law, they shall inherit his divine position, thereby becoming the new God of Illusion!" The Will of the Heavens stated with a cool demeanor. Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's gaze shifted to the translucent, grayish light sphere situated on the left. This sphere existed in a state between reality and illusion, appearing within reach yet feeling ultimately unattainable. As the light within swirled, the grayish sphere grew increasingly ethereal, almost as if it were on the verge of dissolving into the void and vanishing completely. "This is the Divine Format of the God of Illusion?" Lu Yuan inquired with a grave tone. The Original Divine Format, he understood, was the tangible manifestation of the Authority of Laws across the All Heavens and the fundamental source of power for a Tenth Rank Main God.Like ancient monarchs, they appeared to hold supreme authority. Yet, when their power waned, their destined end was a fate worse than death itself. Similarly, if a deity is stripped of their Original Divine Format, a vast portion of their divine might vanishes, much like a deposed king struggling to make even a ripple in their current existence. However, attempting to usurp the Original Divine Format from a dark deity is a feat as impossible as reaching the heavens. Throughout all the Heavens and Myriad Realms, possibly only entities at the caliber of the Will of the Heavens possess such capability. Still, Lu Yuan detected within the Will of the Heavens' invariably cold and unfeeling tone, a subtle but undeniable trace of weariness. This suggests that even for the Will of the Heavens, confronting a dark deity is far from a simple undertaking. Indeed, it came at a significant price! "This is the Refining Dao Divine Format bequeathed by the Supreme Origin Saint Master. While it has certain imperfections, with adequate understanding, you can still utilize it to achieve Dao Enlightenment and ascend to godhood," the Will of the Heavens stated placidly. "Perhaps you might consider attempting to refine these two Original Divine Formats concurrently." "To refine both the Illusionary Law and the Refining Dao Law simultaneously?" Lu Yuan's countenance altered, grasping the Will of the Heavens' underlying objective. True and False Origin, after all, were intrinsically linked, two faces of the same fundamental reality.
