Chapter 482: Chapter 302: Universe Restriction, Limit of 3000—1

The world has its limitations, and the cosmos has its restraints.

This particular world only allows one to reach the Demigod Realm.

“Though a demigod is an intermediate realm, it has a terrifying chasm. For instance, if the limit of divinity for a demigod is ten thousand, then the amount of divinity this world allows one to achieve is one. That is the first layer of restriction and imprisonment. To break the worldly shackles, to shatter the cosmic restraints, the true limit of this world is for the Demigod Realm to possess three thousand divinity. This is the ultimate limit, imprisonment within imprisonment; even if your comprehension reaches the skies, and your talent is unmatched, this is still the end,” Hong Ling revealed the true secrets of this world.

“This is also the real reason why ascending to the Divine Realm is so difficult.” “To assert the position of a divine spirit with the divinity of a demigod? Simply impossible!”

To aspire for divinity three thousand? Then one must constantly break the restraints, smash through the world’s locks, step by step transforming divinity to the degree of three thousand. At that time, Ascending to the Divine Realm might have a glimmer of hope.”

“From divinity one to divinity three thousand, this belongs to the restraints within the world, the iron laws of the cosmos. To step by step unlock these fetters might hold some hope.”

“To further advance past three thousand divinity is nearly hopeless, because this is not a complete world at all, but rather a trial ground for geniuses.” With every word Hong Ling spoke, the faces of those present darkened further. The divinity of a demigod is one; this is the ordinary limit, belonging to the restrictions of the cosmos. To go further, one can only do so with powerful divine skills to break free of the shackles.

But even these shackles have their utmost limit, which is three thousand.

No wonder there haven’t been any divine spirits for so many years, and it’s no wonder that the one in the Holy City has the supreme power to sweep across the world.” The master suddenly realized, “That time I went to the Holy City, his attack on me, he certainly didn’t give his all.”

“Alas!” The master suddenly sighed, “Using all beings as Chess Pieces, Heaven and Earth as the Chessboard, controlling the fates of countless creatures, truly a good tactic, excellent indeed.”

“Miss Hong Ling, for someone like us who wishes to leap and ascend, to prove the Tao and become a god, is there only one path left?” the master inquired.

Everyone had grim expressions on their faces.

They really looked quite grim.

But they also understood the meaning behind the master’s question.

Even if one reached the cosmic limit of three thousand divinity, one could not fully transcend and prove the Tao to attain the position of a divine spirit. But the one path the master spoke of could only be the path of fusion.

Merging the many with three thousand divinity, rapidly transforming and transcending the limits in order to break free.

“The path of fusion is indeed one path, but this path is still very difficult. First, one must have three thousand divinity, which is balanced; second, during fusion, too many variables can arise, and the slightest mistake can lead to backlash from the Tao, with the lighter consequence being one’s origin damaged and no more chances to advance, and the heavier consequence being death on the spot,” Hong Ling stated solemnly, “Even in a high-dimensional universe, of those I know who chose the path of fusion, out of ten thousand, nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine fail, with only one success. The real Great Way is the power of a single lineage, continuously transforming and transcending.”

In the end, there’s still a sliver of life,” the master was not too disappointed. He understood that if proving the Tao to become a god were easy, then divine spirits would be all over the sky.

Hope is good enough.

It’s just a bit more difficult than expected.

He turned to Jiang Ming with a smile and said, “Find some time, and let’s discuss the Tao again, but for now, I need Divine Artifacts for contemplation.”

Sure! Jiang Ming didn’t hesitate to hand over several Divine Artifacts to the other party.

One from the seizure at the Holy City, four from Bai Yuguang.

He alone now possessed five Divine Artifacts.

“With this thing to comprehend, and the peerless talents of Master and Brother Jiang, the ‘Three Thousand Divinity’?” Shi Lei laughed, “With our power, we definitely have a chance to reach it.”

Then let’s not leave. We’ll cultivate here, and once we all reach the limit of the cosmos, we’ll go to the Holy City and suppress the Divine Spirits,” Ye Bai declared with boundless enthusiasm.

“When the time comes, we’ll sweep across the world first, and at the very least, each of us should secure a position as a Prefecture Lord. Then, with the great momentum of heaven and earth, we’ll sweep across the Holy City!” Wang Qiutong stated, her heroism rivaling that of men.

“And, and plunder resources!” Chen Bei chuckled, “We’ll team up to sweep through the One Hundred and Eight Provinces, gathering cultivation resources to help us advance rapidly.”

With such straightforward words, everyone decided on their future strategy.

The banquet continued.

Everyone shared their experiences and discussed strange events.

In a leisurely and joyous manner.

With the fun ending, the group started discussing the Dao, evolving their understanding of cultivation and expressing their wisdom.

Even Master joined in.

The addition of Hong Ling, who was well-versed and capable of insightful observations, along with the overwhelming wisdom of the others, meant that this discussion carried on for an entire month before it ended.

Everyone made huge gains.

The key was that the path forward was clear; they just needed to grow step by step, no longer fumbling around like before.

They were no longer unaware of the countless restrictions above the limit.

Everyone went their separate ways, either staying at the City Lord Mansion to cultivate, lodging in the luxurious wine shops within the city, pausing by the lake, or heading to the nearby mountains to open a Daoist retreat and begin their solitary cultivation.

Hong Ling came to Jiang Ming’s side again, and she couldn’t help but remark, “Your group of people are truly beyond comprehension.”

“Oh, how so?” Jiang Ming asked, surprised.

Supreme Bone, Holy Body, Innate Path Body, Supreme Ghost Body, Devouring Body, and even one among you who has an entire Reincarnation World hidden within himself, and the Immortal Spirit Body,” Hong Ling sighed, “In a single cosmos, it’s unlikely for even one of such physiques to be born, yet all of you are gathered together.”

“It’s that rare to give birth to one?” Jiang Ming asked, puzzled, “There’s nothing special about them, though!”

“Nothing special?” Hong Ling looked at him oddly, “Because you are too abnormal. In your eyes, they may not be much, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are unparalleled geniuses, capable of overshadowing an era and fighting above their level with ease.”

Jiang Ming smiled, “There should be many in the God Realm, right?”

“Not many!” Hong Ling shook her head, “The beings born in the God Realm have high starting points but also lose certain special physiques. Perhaps this is a balance under the supreme rules. For example, Ye Bai, once he becomes a god, will certainly make rapid progress. Not to mention becoming a Heavenly God, it will definitely not be difficult for him to achieve the status of an Upper God.”

“Of course, the most unbelievable one is still you. You have an ordinary physique, nothing special about you, so why are you so abnormal?” Hong Ling stared at Jiang Ming, her gaze fiery, “Perhaps, it is because your soul has mutated, in tune with the rhythm of the cosmos, allowing your comprehension to reach its peak.”

Jiang Ming smiled again.

The other party could see the extraordinary aspects of Shi Lei and others but could not see his many talents and the hundredfold gene tiers he possessed.

In fact, he was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Ming’s heart suddenly stirred as he looked at her and said, “I need to cultivate a secret skill to continue improving my combat power, but it requires a massive amount of resources. Hong Ling, you should have Origin Liquid and Divine Crystals, right? To you, there must be a lot of them.”

Hong Ling’s brows twitched fiercely.
