Chapter 307: Chapter307-The Voice of the Oracle, the Covenant of the Stars

No one knew how Daniel was feeling.

At this moment, an irrepressible excitement was surging in his heart—he had only just obtained the Scroll of Astral Prosperity, and now an opportunity to go to the Astral Realm had arrived right after it!

This was simply a gift from fate!

The Astral Realm contained countless supreme treasures, and even law treasures that carried the rules of the universe.

Those were all the most top-tier materials for constructing a sage rank.

Daniel had already tasted the benefits of a supreme Divine Domain. How could he possibly endure an ordinary sage rank?

If he wanted to break through to Divine-grade, then he had to use the finest materials to forge his sage rank!

And all of those things could be found in the Astral Realm!

Daniel was in an excellent mood.

At this moment, the Lord of Starvault Sanctum had already taken his place and was about to begin transmitting his insights.

Daniel was filled with anticipation. He hoped that from the mouth of this T8 Oracle-grade being, he would be able to gain some unexpected comprehension.

"What exactly will this kind of transmission of profundities be like?"

He secretly wondered in his heart.

...

The tournament grounds on the Budelica Plane had already been transformed into a sacred preaching platform.

The Lord of Starvault Sanctum, a T8 Oracle-grade being, would personally ascend the stage and begin his lecture, transmitting myriad profundities.

All those present were rising star powerhouses from various factions, and their hearts were as firm as stone.

Faced with this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, every powerhouse present was brimming with energy, concentrating their minds as they waited.

The transmission of a T8 Oracle-grade powerhouse would be greatly beneficial even to T7 Oracle-grade beings.

In the realm of Oracle-grade, even a single tier of difference was like the gap between heaven and earth. The distance between them was countless times greater than the difference between a human and an ant.

At this moment, the Lord of Starvault Sanctum sat cross-legged in the void.

Beneath him, sacred flowers and sacred grasses shone brilliantly. Spiritual trees and spiritual stones reflected one another’s radiance. Above the firmament, all kinds of auspicious phenomena appeared, as though the entire world was tilting its ear to listen.

The Lord of Starvault Sanctum slowly opened his mouth. His voice was like a great bell and a clear chime, cleansing the hearts of all who heard it.

Although Daniel could not fully understand what he was hearing, he still listened with his full attention.

System notifications rang repeatedly beside his ear.

[Ding! You are listening to the Oracle. Divine energy +10,000!]

[Ding! You are listening to the Oracle. Divine energy +10,000!]

[...]

...

Because of the existence of his amplification system, Daniel did not need to rely on long years of bitter cultivation to comprehend his Rank like these powerhouses did. He only needed to accumulate enough foundation, and he would be able to break through in one go.

Fortunately, the Lord of Starvault Sanctum deliberately began from the most basic knowledge of sage rank. This allowed Daniel, an outsider who had entered halfway through, to understand at least some of the simpler principles.

"So this is the principle behind sage rank."

Daniel pondered silently.

His current level was directly linked to his Rank. Only by breaking through his Rank could he continue leveling up.

The next step was to attempt to construct his own sage rank.

"The core of a Divine Domain lies in ’fusion’—using Strength to condense momentum, and using momentum to forge a Divine Domain. At the same time, one’s body will continuously give birth to Immortal Singularities. As long as the Divine Soul is undying, the Divine Domain is immortal. So that is what it means."

A look of realization appeared in Daniel’s eyes.

"And sage rank is the advancement of the Divine Domain. A Divine Domain relies on Immortal Singularities, while sage rank relies on endless divine energy."

Divine energy!

Divine-grade powerhouses were also known as divine energy beings.

Those who transcended the mortal and entered the sacred, becoming capable of all things!

During his explanation, the Lord of Starvault Sanctum said that "Divine-grade" was the shortened form of "divine energy being."

Only then did Daniel truly understand.

So-called transcendence into the sacred meant condensing divine energy, mastering divine energy, and ultimately becoming an embodiment of divine energy.

The reason a sage was called sacred did not lie in the magnitude of their Strength, but in the fact that they had already surpassed the restraints of mundane laws and become both a vessel and controller of divine energy.

The Lord of Starvault Sanctum’s voice echoed through the void like the tolling of an ancient bell.

"To comprehend the constancy and impermanence of laws, and to be able to govern both—this is the beginning of a sage."

Then, how did one step onto the path of sagehood?

Condensing an immortal sacred will and watering oneself with divine energy—this was Low Divine-grade.

Comprehending the flow of laws between heaven and earth, seeing through their constancy and transformation, and standing above both—this was Mid Divine-grade.

Breaking free from the shackles of planar laws, becoming a source of divine energy oneself, and at the same time transcending the restraints of all laws—this was High Divine-grade, and even peak Divine-grade.

Upon reaching this step, one could advance to Oracle-grade!

Oracle-grade beings were the masters of divine energy!

With a single thought, they could shift the stars and distort spacetime.

A sage was, in and of themselves, a moving palace of laws.

Once one became a sage, they could no longer descend into small worlds—because the Origin order of a small world would sense that the sage’s divine energy posed a tremendous threat to itself and would reject them madly.

Medium worlds were also only willing to accommodate sages at Mid Divine-grade and below. The principle was the same. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Only large living worlds that were complete and stable in themselves would not reject sages. They could even accommodate Oracle-grade beings!

This was because the Origin order of a large living world was already powerful and mature enough to withstand the fluctuations of a sage’s divine energy.

To put it plainly: "It has already formed a mature order of its own and can distinguish good from evil, right from wrong by itself."

Only now did Daniel understand why living worlds had such restrictions against Divine-grade powerhouses.

So sages understood the laws of the world, yet were not governed by those laws. They even sought to transcend the laws and rewrite them.

How could the World Origin possibly tolerate that?

The day one became a source of laws oneself would be the day one’s sage rank came into conflict with the world’s order.

This was an irreconcilable contradiction.

Naturally, the world would not allow it.

Daniel continued listening, and then he understood how to construct a sage rank.

"So constructing a sage rank is actually quite similar to constructing a Divine Domain."

He smiled.

"The blueprint of the sage rank is the most crucial point. Top-grade and powerful blueprints are only held by the major factions of the various starfields, and they need to be exchanged with points."

"It is just like the blueprint of my Chaotic Samsara Divine Domain—with the blueprint, one can continue filling, stabilizing, or strengthening the Divine Domain!"

"Therefore, top-grade sage rank blueprints are extremely precious and extremely rare. Exchanging for one requires a tremendous price."

"Furthermore, constructing a sage rank requires an ocean-like amount of divine energy."

Daniel’s eyes flickered.

"The more top-grade the sage rank blueprint is, the more divine energy it requires. It will consume many times more than constructing a Divine Domain. Divine energy can not only be used to construct a sage rank, but can also be used as a method to enhance it—the more divine energy consumed, the stronger the enhanced sage rank will be."

"There are also differences between sage rank and Divine Domain."

Daniel digested this knowledge.

"A Divine Domain often determines the upper limit of a sage rank. The Divine Domain is the foundation of one’s strength. The firmer the foundation, the stronger the sage rank will naturally be."

"For example, my sage rank is built upon a supreme Divine Domain, which is the finest of the finest among Divine Domains. Even if I use it as the foundation to break through to Divine-grade, I will possess a first-rate sage rank."

"If the Divine Domain itself is mediocre, then even if one obtains a top-grade sage rank blueprint, the final result after construction will be greatly reduced."

Daniel smiled faintly. In terms of how solid his foundation was, there were probably few who could compare to him.

"There is another point."

He continued thinking.

"Constructing a sage rank requires a large amount of Sacred Materials. The specific types of Sacred Materials required depend on the sage rank one chooses."

"The more top-grade the sage rank, the more top-grade the Sacred Materials required. After all, one cannot live in a magnificent palace while the interior decoration is only done in a sloppy and perfunctory manner, can they?"

"Only with matching Sacred Materials can a sage rank approach perfection without limit. And a sage rank that approaches perfection without limit is a sage that approaches invincibility without limit."

Daniel’s gaze became firm.

"In order to accumulate divine energy, and in order to obtain top-grade Sacred Materials, I must go to the Astral Realm!"

"Only after possessing a top-grade foundation like a supreme Divine Domain can one truly understand the mysteries within."
