The Era of Gods-Chapter 361 - Strengthening the Soul and Making Choices
Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Strengthening the Soul and Making Choices
Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn’t help asking:
“A new method? What method is that?”
She answered:
“Reincarnation and rebirth!”
“Reincarnation and rebirth?”
“Yes!”
She explained:
“You need to split off a strand of will without any Divinity or Divine Power and descend through reincarnation, directly becoming a native of that world. This greatly reduces the danger of being discovered. However, there’s a problem with this approach that we can’t solve right now. Since you cannot carry with you any additional strength, once you are reincarnated, you have to solve the mystery of awakening within the womb on your own.”
Lin Xiao….
“Isn’t this even more difficult?”
The difficulty of awakening past life memories without any additional strength was something he knew to be extraordinary.
Although the nature of the reincarnated will was much stronger than ordinary people, and the probability of awakening was much greater, if the probability of awakening for an ordinary person was one in several billion, their probability was about one in ten thousand. That might appear to be tens of thousands of times higher, but a one in ten thousand chance was still terribly low, no wonder the success rate was so low.
“That’s why I didn’t recommend this world to you; it’s just too difficult. Just the first step has stumped so many talents. You might need to try hundreds or even thousands of times, splitting your will hundreds or thousands of times or more before there’s a chance of awakening.”
“And awakening past life memories is just a prerequisite. After that, you’ll need to establish a faith domain slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.”
At this point, Jin Sisi paused before saying:
“Because of the special nature of this world, you don’t need to establish a faith domain. Simply standing firm and successfully obtaining the power of that world to advance as a Transcendent Totem Knight would meet the condition.”
“Is it that difficult!”
Lin Xiao was quite surprised by the difficulty.
However, upon further thought, if he descended in this manner, it seemed like the difficulty might be lower than other methods.
For other methods of descent, a strand of soul and will needed to be projected into that world. Although only a small part would be split off, not affecting the integrity of the soul, it was still the split of a soul. If split enough times, it would still have some impact on the True Body.
But with reincarnation, it was different. Although it still required splitting off a strand of soul—which was necessary—the amount of soul needed was extremely small, not even a tenth of what the previous method required. This effectively allowed for ten times as many attempts without affecting oneself.
Regardless of the difficulty, ten times more attempts at descent would eventually present a chance for success.
Lin Xiao had his own considerations, given he possessed the Creation Magic Cube. His last experience in the Nightmare World proved that his probability of awakening should be higher than others.
Of course, that was when he truly descended in the Nightmare World, having a soul and Divinity far surpassing ordinary people, which made awakening easier for anyone.
Considering this, Lin Xiao had already made up his mind; he was going to descend into the fifth world.
Three parts determined by fate, seven parts by hard work.
With his luck, most of those three parts were already assured.
With his strength plus the Creation Magic Cube, he could at least secure most of the seven parts.
All things considered, his chances of success were definitely higher than other Sons of the Divine Realm.
After sharing his thoughts with Jin Sisi, she was not surprised but instead commended him:
“Although I don’t think you need to take this risk, this world indeed suits you best for utilizing your luck and potential. Once you succeed, neither the pleasure of Gaia Will nor the intrinsic benefits will be comparable to any other world.”
“Since that’s the case, I will negotiate with the military on your behalf as your headteacher, to fight for the rights and benefits you deserve. You have one month to prepare, and I will give you a document. When the time comes, just be ready according to the details marked in the document.”
After finishing her words, Jin Sisi stood up and left, decisively and clearly, without any hesitation.
Not long after, a document was sent over. It was a collection of internal information, specifically gathered, a product of Radiance exploratory efforts in that world, unique to Radiance.
The document outlined some highly confidential information known only within Radiance. It was only because of his current strength and potential that he had access to it; other high school elites might not have had the chance.
Combining this document with internal information sent by Xie Yufei, Lin Xiao had a good grasp of what to expect in this world.
Upon returning to the Divine Realm, his first reaction was to look towards the massive Heavenly Cathedral in the Heaven Divine Realm, where he sensed a formidable aura that even he found astonishing.
Years had passed, and Slarda had already advanced to a Mythical Hero, with strength reaching the Divine Realm’s capacity limit—Rank 9 pinnacle!
As Divine Realm Master, he felt that astonishing presence the moment he entered his realm, even before seeing it, sensing a force field that slightly warped space itself, radiating an immense power like a vast furnace.

Evaluation: This is a unique, God-slaying potential Mythical Hero, the embodiment of strength and wisdom. Now, He is loyal to the truth and the creator!
Formidable, terrifying!
This was Lin Xiao’s sole reaction after seeing Slarda’s attribute panel. Just looking at the attribute panel revealed how exaggerated it was, and he felt the evaluation was completely accurate. Although the current Slarda might not be able to slay a God, slaying a Demigod was absolutely no problem.
According to the universal classification of the Main World, Rank 10 is the rank of a Demigod, and not every native Demigod can necessarily defeat him.
Well, now Lin Xiao himself had no bottom. If his Divine Power storage was not plentiful, he might not be able to defeat his own core Clan member.
Fortunately, he was the creator, the creator of Slarda and the Supreme Naga species. As long as he didn’t seek destruction, they would never betray him.
With such a powerful Mythical Hero, Lin Xiao felt full of confidence about his future descent into other worlds to face other world’s Demigods.
With an expectant mood, he turned his gaze to the interior of the Heavenly Cathedral, but the next second, he was startled.
In the central hall of the cathedral, before his statue, knelt a dark golden Naga smaller than the average Supreme Naga, yet emitting a terrifying aura that warped the space. The familiar aura made him recognize at a glance that this was Slarda, but his size…
Had shrunk.
Before the promotion, Slarda was several dozen meters long from head to tail. Now he was less than ten meters long, having shrunk considerably.
However, at this moment, Slarda sensed his descent. His high spirit granted him extraordinary wisdom and sensitivity. Perceiving the doubts in Lin Xiao’s mind, he slowly rose. Right under his eyes, Slarda’s body rapidly expanded and soon transformed into a massive creature over a hundred meters long, its body covered with dark golden Dragon Scales. An indescribable shockwave exploded, and the divine glow within the cathedral surged to block the sudden distortion waves.
“Good!”
Lin Xiao exclaimed with joy, quite satisfied with this power and form, and he spared no words of praise.
An hour later, with a joyful heart, Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, his face still wearing a smile. Sitting on his divine throne, he thought for a while and then refocused on the Earth attached divine domain, looking at the original Dwarf Tribe of the Earth.
“He needs to forge an even more powerful weapon!”
In the center of the Earth attached divine domain, where the Earth Dwarves once were, now tens of thousands of crimson-skinned members of the Red Furnace Clan toiled busily to remodel the City of the Earth.
The lifestyle of the Red Furnace Clan was somewhat different from that of the Dwarves; after all, they were naturally immune to flames, had high body temperatures, and all possessed one or two Fire-based Spells. Their previous dwellings were definitely unsuitable.
Lin Xiao scanned the Red Furnace Clan, his gaze finally settling on two Rank 7 leaders, one of whom would receive the remaining hero promotion right he possessed.
The two members of the Red Furnace Clan happened to be a male and a female, but their appearances were quite similar, and at a casual glance, it was difficult to distinguish the sexes. Their strengths were also close, with the earlier-promoted leader being marginally stronger.
But his criteria for selecting heroes were not solely based on who was stronger or who was promoted earlier; rather, it was about potential.
However, that said, the first male leader of the Crimson Furnace Race who broke through to Rank 7 surely had the highest potential. Thus, without much hesitation, Lin Xiao swiftly decided to grant this opportunity for promotion to Rank 7 and bestowed the name Divine Furnace.
Preparations and Departure
The promotion would take some time, so Lin Xiao withdrew his focus, looking over his entire Divine Realm with a very good mood.
With a flip of his hand, he took out several Breeding Cards and threw them into the Magic Cube.
