“During one of those battles, I was extremely lucky. Although I had hidden far away, I managed to acquire a divine spark, and what’s more, it was the divine spark of a Demigod. If it had been the divine spark of a full God, I wouldn’t have been able to absorb and fuse with it at all.” The War God laughed calmly.
Linley suddenly began to understand.
There were certain preconditions for one to fuse with a divine spark.
Someone who had not yet become a Deity probably would only be able to fuse with a Demigod’s divine spark.
“Why did those experts from other planes descend to the Yulan continent and engage in battle here?” Linley immediately asked.
The War God glanced at Linley. “For now, you don’t need to know about this.” Clearly, the War God didn’t wish to tell Linley.
Linley had no choice but to remain silent.
“The Necropolis of the Gods will be opened once every thousand years. Each time it is opened, those who have received acknowledgment and permission from us Deities are permitted to enter the Necropolis of the Gods and engage in exploration.” The War God glanced at Linley. “But I must tell you, the Necropolis of the Gods is extremely dangerous!”
“Has anyone ever succeeded?” Linley asked.
“Of course.” The War God said with certainty. “But only one person. And the funny thing was, as soon as he acquired a Demigod divine spark and broke through, he immediately headed off to the Higher Planes.”
Linley secretly laughed.
To become a Deity was extremely hard.
But wouldn’t it be so much simpler to just acquire a divine spark from within the Necropolis of the Gods and then fuse it? No wonder so many of the lucky survivors of the past had decided to remain hidden here in the Yulan continent.
After all, it was virtually impossible for a Saint to acquire a divine spark in the Higher Planes.
“Lord War God, are there any differences between becoming a Deity through fusing with a divine spark and becoming a Deity through personal understandings and breakthroughs?” Linley asked.
The War God nodded and sighed. “There are. After absorbing and fusing with a divine spark, one’s future training becomes much more difficult. After all, the divine spark you fused with wasn’t one which had naturally descended upon you and formed within your soul. There are qualitative differences.”
Linley nodded.
In his heart, Linley deeply appreciated the fact that the War God had provided him with this important piece of information.
“But despite that, so what? Linley, if I placed a divine spark in front of you and told you that if you fused with it, you would become a Demigod, with the price being that your future training would be slower and more difficult…would you be willing to fuse with it?” The War God looked at Linley.
Linley was startled.
Indeed. If a Demigod’s divine spark was placed in front of him, which represented the chance to become a Deity, despite knowing that one’s future training would become more difficult…most likely, many people would choose to immediately absorb and fuse with the divine spark.
“Enough. Linley, if there’s nothing else, you can leave now.” The War God said calmly.
Linley hurriedly said. “Lord War God, in a few days, I plan to go to the Anarchic Lands. My little brother Wharton will probably remain in the imperial capital. I am worried that the forces of the Radiant Church will threaten my little brother…”
“Don’t worry. The imperial capital is not a place where the Radiant Church can act as they please.” The War God said calmly.
Hearing these words from the War God, Linley felt calmer.
“Lord War God, the current Emperor, Johann…” Linley didn’t even finish speaking before the War God frowned and said, “I gave you my talisman. Just show it to Johann, and he will know that it represents my authority. Each generation of Emperors knows this.”
Linley was startled.
The talisman with the word ‘War’ on it which the War God had bequeathed unto him previously actually had this function as well?
The War God glanced coldly at Linley. “But you had better not use the talisman too wildly. If you throw the Empire into a state of chaos, then you will be the one to fix it. Oh, right. When you go to the Anarchic Lands, there is a person you must remember not to offend.”
“Who?” Linley was startled.
The Anarchic Lands didn’t have any famous experts, right?
The War God said calmly, “One of the five Prime Saints lives in the Anarchic Lands. His name is Desri [De’si’li]. He trains in the Laws of Light. His power is on par with Fain’s.”
Linley immediately memorized this name.
Someone who was on par with Fain was a person who was only a step away from becoming a Deity.
“Enough. You can leave now.” The War God said calmly.
Linley immediately bowed, then turned and prepared to leave.
“Remember to treat with kindness that magical beast of yours, Bebe.” The War God said with a sudden sigh.
Shocked, Linley turned his head to stare at the War God. Linley wasn’t surprised that the War God knew of Bebe’s existence, but why had the War God just told him to treat Bebe well?
The War God paid no more attention to Linley. With one step, his scarlet hair flowing around him, he entered that hovering ball of fire once more and returned to his training.
“Bebe?”
Linley actually felt that the War God was being a bit too nice to him. Whether it was with regards to Wharton’s wedding, or telling him so many things on this visit…Linley now felt that this had to do with Bebe.
Bebe?
