Chapter 346: Divinity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The key to everything lies in divinity.”
“Divinity is the foundation of gods! It’s also the gift bestowed upon the gods by the supreme god, or you can call it authority.”
“And you feel that the divine source within you is very sluggish and unusable; 1 guess it’s probably related to the lack of divinity.”
This was what Jiu Han had said to Lu Ming during a morning class.
Lu Ming would always remember it.
Through Jiu Han’s various descriptions and behaviors, Lu Ming could roughly guess that the path of an Outer Dao God was closely related to divinity.
“So, Teacher Jiu Han’s research is precisely in deciphering divinity. If divinity can be completely deciphered, it can help me shape divinity and properly utilize the divine source, achieving the status of an Outer Dao God.”
In theory, that was the theory.
In simpler terms, this path was about creating one’s own divinity without relying on the Supreme God and ascending the Heavenly Stairs—Jiu Han had mentioned before that gods were constrained by the Supreme God. Lu Ming did not quite understand the cause-and-effect logic, but he could sense from Jiu Han’s words that this path seemed to have significant flaws.
“Then, let me see which segment Teacher is stuck in.”
Muttering to himself, Lu Ming went to the observation array and carefully observed the divinity.
With just one glance, Lu Ming felt dizzy!
These dense array patterns were delicate, complex, tiny yet magnificent, the chaotic contrast making Lu Ming dizzy for a moment.
It was like an elementary school student facing an advanced mathematics question, feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start.
“No wonder Teacher Jiu Han said that this path requires a profound knowledge of array formations…”
“No wonder Teacher had been stuck for a whole three years.”
“This thing is indeed a product of an array formation… However, with my level 2380 array formation knowledge, deciphering this thing is a bit beyond my reach.”
As he muttered, Lu Ming’s eyes flashed with interest.
Was it difficult?
It was very difficult.
However, Lu Ming had a cheat!
If level 2380 array formation knowledge was not enough, then make it level 23800! If that’s still not sufficient, multiply it by 10!
With a thought, the Dao of Array Formation IV2380 became IV2381!
As he absorbed the influx of array formation knowledge into his mind, Lu Ming also glanced to the side.
Soon, he picked up a tablet computer on the experiment table.
As he turned it on, Jiu Han’s figure appeared on the screen.
“This is my complete record of divinity deciphering. I’m handing it over to you, my disciple Lu Ming.”
“I hope that this research of mine can find a new path for both you and me, instead of stagnating on the dead end of the Divine Spirit Realm.”
On the screen, Jiu Han’s expression was solemn and his tone was low. Then he continued, “My disciple Lu Ming, when you see this document, the situation might have already changed to a certain extent. I can’t predict the future, so I can’t give you much advice.”
“I can only remind you of one thing.”
“If unnecessary, do not ascend the Heaven Ascension Stairs.”
“Unless it’s an absolute dead end, don’t become a so-called god.”
“Of course, if the current situation you’re facing now has no other solution other than ascending the heavenly stairs to become a god, you can also walk this path, but it’s just a desperate measure.”
“My words end here, and regarding the path of ascending the heavenly stairs to become a god, all my speculations are limited to guesses.””
“However… I think this divinity has already largely confirmed my speculations and premonitions.”
The scene changed and the formal analysis of the divinity began.
Lu Ming continued to allocate points as he watched.
His expression quickly turned solemn.
Three years ago, when the experiment had just begun, Qing Jue’s divinity was pristine and flawless.
Countless intricate patterns grew on it—these patterns looked like natural textures, complex yet seemed to contain the Dao of Heaven.
However, with IV2381 knowledge of array formations, Lu Ming immediately understood that these patterns were part of a certain large array formation!
It was impossible to tell the function of this array formation from the external appearance because the array formation on the divinity was three-dimensional, and he could only see the outermost layer. Combined with the complexity of the array, both Jiu Han at that time and the current Lu Ming could not get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Lu Ming’s role became apparent.
As Lu Ming continued to grow stronger and absorb the Divine Source, a drop of liquid Divine Source suddenly surged out from the inner layer of the Divine Source.
After this trace of Divine Source was absorbed by Lu Ming, the inner layer of the Divinity became faint, revealing part of the patterns from the next outer layer.
Seeing this, Lu Ming suddenly understood.
“This is the source of my seven-digit divine source points!”
“It’s not the divine source in Qing Jue’s body… his middle and outer layers of divinity had already recovered, providing about 100 points of divine source. The majority of the divine source I absorbed came entirely from the inner layer of divinity.”
And the inner layer of divinity came from the hand of the supreme god.
This was the power of the supreme god!
As he added points, Lu Ming continued to look at the records.
As Lu Ming continuously absorbed the power of the inner layer of the divinity, the divinity became more and more transparent.
The power of the inner layer of divinity seemed to be unable to recover naturally, and the total amount was constant.
As the divinity became more and more transparent, more array patterns appeared.
Soon, when Lu Ming’s array formation level reached level 2956, the time in the document came to one year ago.
Jiu Han stood in place, watching the still round divinity in silence for a long time.
A moment later, he turned around and smiled bitterly at the camera.
“My knowledge of array formations is no longer sufficient to continue deciphering divinity…”
“So from now on, I will only record the subsequent changes in the divinity.”
After that, Jiu Han did not appear in the video file again.
It was only that the divinity became increasingly faded as Lu Ming plundered…
And when the video finished playing, Lu Ming’s array formation level reached level 3265. The video ended, and Lu Ming turned to look at Qing Jue’s divinity.
Pale golden, semi-translucent, somewhat wilted, but still with numerous patterns enveloped in rich liquefied divine source, not yet emerging.
“Half.”
Lu Ming spoke in a low voice, “In three years, more than 3 million divine source points. But, this is only half the strength of the inner layer of divinity…” The terrifying power contained in the inner layer of the divinity was obvious.
Purple lightning covered Huang Ti’s body, making him look like a heavenly thunder, instantly rushing to the opposite side of the Blood Demon Gate.
In the frozen land, the lightning subsided, and Huang Ti floated in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across all directions.
“Heh… I’ve long been prepared.”
He sneered and spoke, only to discover that the territory of the Ancient Demon Clan had long been deserted. The remaining people were either experts or cannon fodder.
The Desolate Demon Lord’s voice sounded from the depths of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.
“Of course. Since it’s a sneak attack, one must naturally plan an escape route first.”
“As for you, my old friend… I think it’s time to settle the grievances and grudges between us.”
Countless years ago, it was Huang Ti who defeated the Ancient Demon Clan and expelled them to the frozen land.
Coincidentally, at that time, the adversary facing Huang Ti was none other than the current god of the Ancient Demon Clan, the Desolate Demon Lord..
