"Don't worry, the previous levels didn't do anything to me, let alone this final level." Standing at the entrance of the ninth level, Jiang Chen's face showed a doting expression. Jiang Chen gently placed his hand on Ye Qingcheng's head and rubbed it, then turned and entered the last room. Upon entering the room, Jiang Chen found it empty, which was somewhat unexpected. He directly unlocked the six chains of order and cautiously walked towards the inner direction. "I didn't expect the ninth room to be like this." As Jiang Chen walked deeper, he suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him. When he saw the person clearly, Jiang Chen burst into laughter, as if he had encountered the most interesting thing in the world! But it was not surprising, because the person in front of Jiang Chen was none other than himself! "The most difficult opponent for a person to overcome is himself." Then he rushed towards his impostor!
The chains of order collided continuously! The Mixed Yuan Fist, the Emperor's Seal, and the Mixed Yuan Spear, the two people's moves were exactly the same, even their speed of attack was almost identical. After a series of 12 attacks, Jiang Chen's strength gradually weakened. This kind of battle was like playing rock-paper-scissors in front of a mirror, trying to determine a winner was purely a joke! Jiang Chen, who stood in place, did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he looked at his "corrupted" self in front of him. The other party seemed like an emotionless robot, capable of repeating all of his actions. "Wait... repetition!" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of a way to overcome this level! As if making a decision, Jiang Chen threw everything he had on the ground, even leaving only his underwear! With this appearance, no one would suspect that Jiang Chen had just returned from the beach. If outsiders saw Jiang Chen's current fighting style, they would surely be surprised! The current Jiang Chen no longer looked like a master, but more like a child! Jiang Chen directly hugged the body of the fake Jiang Chen, just like when he wrestled with his childhood friends, trying to throw the other person to the ground! Sure enough, when Jiang Chen made this move, the fake Jiang Chen being held did not respond at all! Because the temple recorded various data of Jiang Chen the moment he entered, and there was no way to respond to the parts of Jiang Chen that were not recorded! "Indeed, I'm amazing!" The fake Jiang Chen was thrown to the ground by Jiang Chen's bear hug. Then Jiang Chen mounted the impostor and continuously kicked him! It wasn't until a black light emanated from the impostor's body that Jiang Chen stopped. Then the figure of the impostor slowly disappeared from the ground, and with a powerful energy, an ancient door appeared in front of Jiang Chen! With a creak, the door slowly opened. In front of Jiang Chen appeared a space similar to chaos, and a person wrapped in a gray robe. "It has been many years, I haven't encountered such a special existence like you in a long time."
The voice of the person in the gray robe seemed to come from against the ancient river of history, and the deep voice couldn't tell if the speaker was male or female. It even made Jiang Chen suspect if the person in front of him was some pre-set intelligent system! "Yes, I guess I can be considered a unique figure throughout history." Jiang Chen smiled faintly and spoke confidently, regardless of the nature of the gray-robed person in front of him. "That's true." The gray-robed person didn't have much of a reaction to Jiang Chen's response, which further confirmed in Jiang Chen's mind that the other person was an "intelligent being." "These are the paths you can choose after becoming a god." As the gray-robed person spoke, their right hand gently moved, and then more than ten boxes of different colors appeared in front of Jiang Chen. "These different colored godhoods represent different paths. Gold represents metal, green represents wood, gray represents earth, blue represents water, red represents fire, white represents life, black represents death..." Under the gray-robed person's introduction, Jiang Chen learned that becoming a god meant integrating these so-called godhoods into one's own body in order to obtain divine power. "Does that mean gods don't rely on their own efforts to cultivate and become gods?" A look of confusion appeared on Jiang Chen's face. Although he knew that integrating godhoods was one way to become a god, it shouldn't be the only way. "You're not wrong." The gray-robed person, who spoke like an artificial intelligence, finally had some fluctuations in their voice. "There is also a way to break through barriers and become a god relying on one's own power." "What kind of existence is the Controller then?" Since the Demon Lord mentioned the secret of the Controller's existence in the palace, there should also be a method to become a Controller. Upon hearing Jiang Chen's question, the gray-robed person's body visibly "paused" for a moment, seemingly surprised that Jiang Chen, who was only an Immortal Lord, knew about the Controller! "The Controller is an existence above the Divine Emperor. Only by breaking through the barriers can one become a Controller!" Next, with the gray-robed person's introduction, Jiang Chen gained some understanding of divine thoughts. The power division in the 900 Divine Realms is as follows: Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, God King, God Lord, Supreme God, Sovereign, Divine Emperor. And each stage is further divided into three sub-stages, so if Jiang Chen absorbs the present godhoods, he will become a Lesser God. "Once I absorb the godhoods and become a Lesser God, I won't have any other paths to choose from in the future." Jiang Chen frowned, expressing his concern about something he cared about. "That's indeed the case." The gray-robed person nodded and said, "And in the future, you can only follow this path." As the gray-robed person spoke, they looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression. Becoming a god is a very difficult thing, and not everyone in the Divine Realms has the opportunity to become a god. And Jiang Chen's cultivation in the Divine Realms is only at the level of a Seventh Heaven Immortal Lord.
In the Divine Realms, cultivators who have not become gods are collectively referred to as "Divine Awaits," meaning they are waiting to become gods. Therefore, even though fusing with the Soul Refining Grid would restrict his future path, many people would still choose to fuse with it. "Then, can I choose to give the godhoods to someone else and only focus on the improvement of my soul?" Jiang Chen looked at the gray-robed person in front of him with a faint smile on his face.
