Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 760 - 431: Steps to Becoming a God_2

Previously, he had defeated Qiongqi and Bluru, which inevitably led to a sense of pride swelling within him.

Otherwise, he would never have embarked on such a reckless venture, even if outer space appeared to pose no danger.

Of course, this incident also provided him with a considerable amount of intelligence.

"It seems that only at the Tenth Order can one truly unleash the power of a Divine Artifact,"

"And a fully unleashed Divine Artifact allows a Tenth Order Strongman’s attack to reach the True God Level."

"The next time the Spiritual Energy Resurges, the danger I will face is going to be much greater than I initially anticipated. I need to be certain that I can withstand a True God Level Attack," Ye Feng murmured softly to himself.

At the same time, he remembered the scene where he was battling Bluru.

"It seems I need to research formations now, so when the time comes, I can integrate the combat power of all the Seventh Order Strongmen under Dragon Hall," he considered.

"However, while Tenth Order Strongmen are manageable, what should I do if they send a True God Strongman?" Ye Feng pondered with furrowed brows.

But Ye Feng had never seen a True God Strongman with his own eyes and was unclear about their methods, so naturally, he couldn’t come up with any good strategies.

Ye Feng first sent the World Tree Body back to Donglin Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, his human incarnation activated the Identity Token and proceeded directly to the Land of Inheritance.

No sooner had Ye Feng appeared at the top of Rule Mountain than he saw the spherical Gu Ao Duo floating towards him.

"You were far too reckless just now. It’s fortunate that the enemy you encountered only had sheer attacking strength. If you had run into some sort of cursing ability, you would have been in trouble. Next time, do not attempt such things without preparation," Gu Ao Duo scolded with a serious face.

Ye Feng was somewhat surprised, "You know what I just encountered?"

"Isn’t that obvious? I was about ready to intervene and rescue you. I never expected you could actually make it back," Gu Ao Duo retorted with annoyance.

Ye Feng was initially taken aback, but then it seemed reasonable to him.

After all, when the Heavenly Court Relics first emerged, a host of Ancient Ruins had directly manifested across the world.

If such feats were possible, it didn’t seem so astonishing that the other party could detect his danger and be ready to assist him.

Honestly, there was a touch of gratitude in Ye Feng’s heart.

"I’ll be more cautious next time. I just didn’t expect that true Tenth Order Strongmen would be so terrifying. When I fought with Qiongqi and Bluru before, I didn’t feel it was that dangerous," Ye Feng said with a dry laugh.

Gu Ao Duo rolled its eyes in irritation upon hearing this, "Those two, in their state, barely qualified as Tenth Order Strongmen, relying on Divine Artifacts to barely unleash Tenth Order power."

"But a real Tenth Order Strongman, especially those at the pinnacle who have ignited Divine Fire and possess some of the abilities of a True God, their strength is incomparable to the likes of others."

It was the first time Ye Feng had heard such information, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Ignite Divine Fire? Isn’t that a last-ditch effort used by Tenth Order Strongmen?"

Gu Ao Duo rolled its eyes again, "I have never said that igniting Divine Fire is solely for desperate situations."

"However, now that your strength qualifies, it’s time you were enlightened about the knowledge of ascension to godhood," it said.

As it spoke, it took out a Spiritual Artifact spear from its spatial equipment and used it as a pen to inscribe drawings on the ground.

"The steps to becoming a god are broadly divided into two. The first step is to condense a Divine Body, and the second step is to condense a Divine Statue."

"Currently, most Tenth Order Strongmen are only undergoing the first step, that is, condensing the Divine Body, including the masters of the Forbidden Areas."

"This step is as simple as it is difficult, indeed very challenging."

"The approach is to merge the rules you’ve comprehended into yourself, or, to put it another way, to transform your body into a part of the rules."

"Thus, the more and the more powerful the rules you comprehend, the stronger your Divine Body will be after you become a god."

"The step of consolidating the Divine Body has no risks involved, it can be carried out slowly, allowing the body and the rules to continuously integrate. As long as one is willing to waste time, eventually, the rules can be fused into the body."

"However, if one wishes to take the second step, which is to condense the Divine Statue, it becomes much more difficult."

Gu Ao Duo got to this point, then drew a diamond-shaped crystal on the ground, and poked it with his spear while speaking.

"This is the Divine Statue; it is condensed from the essence, Qi, and spirit of your entire body."

"To put it simply, it’s about transforming all the energy in your body into a crucible and then solidifying it."

"And to complete this step, you need the help of Divine Fire."

"But there’s only one chance to Ignite Divine Fire for each living being, and once ignited, there are only two ways to extinguish it. The first is to successfully condense the Divine Statue, and the second is to die after all your essence, Qi, and spirit have been exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, "What do you mean? Didn’t you just say that the Cyclops has already ignited the Divine Fire? Shouldn’t he be rushing to break through to godhood instead of having time to wander around?"

"For most people, that is indeed the case. They only have one chance, so they make sure they are fully prepared before igniting the Divine Fire."

"For example, the masters of these forbidden areas on Earth, they come to the Land of Revival precisely to use the environment here, after its resurgence, to break through to godhood in one fell swoop."

"But for some strongmen backed by factions, this is not the only choice."

"First of all, one thing you need to understand is, when you ignite the Divine Fire, what does it need to burn? Correct, it’s the Power of Faith."

"The Power of Faith can be said to be the fuel; the more abundant and vast your Power of Faith is, the more time you have to slowly burn your essence, Qi, and spirit to fuse them into a crucible and condense your Divine Statue."

"And those top factions often have a vast number of followers providing them with the Power of Faith, so compared to the Lone Rangers, they have much greater margin for error."

"Of course, if that were all, it would not be enough, because the normal consumption of the Power of Faith by the Divine Fire is extremely terrifying—about 1 billion points of Power of Faith per day."

"However, the top factions have secret techniques to slow down the burning pace of the Divine Fire. These secret techniques are also possessed by our Heavenly Court, and ours are the most top-notch, capable of slowing down the burning speed of the Divine Fire by 100 times."

"In other words, the daily consumption of the Power of Faith can be reduced to the level of 10 million, and such consumption can be afforded by those big factions."

Hearing this, an understanding look finally appeared on Ye Feng’s face.

Indeed, if the daily consumption of the Power of Faith is only 10 million points, not to mention those big factions, even he himself could completely afford it.

And once the Divine Fire is ignited, one would possess some of the abilities of a True God, which is indeed tempting.

At least when Ye Feng reached the Tenth Order, he would certainly do the same.

"So, how strong are the True God Strongmen? If they come directly during the next Spiritual Energy Resurgence, is there any way to deal with them?" Ye Feng asked another key question.

"Don’t worry about that, they won’t be able to come in, or rather, they wouldn’t dare to come in."

"Because of the Land of Revival’s uniqueness, the Universe Will has always been paying attention here."

"It’s fine for those who aren’t yet gods, but if a True God approaches this place, they would attract the attention of the Universe Will, triggering a divine-level tribulation and sending them back to the Universe’s origin prematurely."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, if True God Strongmen could descend during the next Spiritual Energy Resurgence, then why would beings like Chiyou bother to fight to the death during Ancient Times over those special independent spaces?" explained Gu Ao Duo.

Hearing this, Ye Feng truly felt relieved.

The sixth Spiritual Energy Resurgence could accommodate Eighth Order strongmen; the seventh Spiritual Energy Resurgence could accommodate Ninth Order strongmen.

And so on, until the ninth Spiritual Energy Resurgence, when True Gods could enter.

Even if the shortest duration between each Spiritual Energy Resurgence is half a year, by the time of the ninth Spiritual Energy Resurgence, there would be at least a year and a half of time.

For others, this amount of time might be fleeting, but for Ye Feng, it was already enough for him to achieve godhood.
