Chapter 38: The Composition of the Divine Seats
After losing his temporary divine power, Huo Yuhao felt that his physical strength had increased significantly, but he also had some strange sensations.
He immediately entered the sea of consciousness and sought guidance from Electrolux:
"Elder Yi, what's wrong with me? My meridians aren't damaged, but my soul power is somewhat unstable."
After examining Huo Yuhao's soul power and meridians, Electrolux responded with a somewhat serious expression:
"Yuhao, you absolutely cannot use this kind of faith-like power again before you reach the Title Douluo level. Right now, the soul power in your body is showing a tendency to prematurely transform into divine power."
"Your total soul power is not enough to achieve a qualitative change, but this temporary divine power has prematurely triggered a transformation of some of your soul power."
"If you undergo a complete transformation, your future divine power will become extremely low in quality without sufficient compression."
After understanding his own situation, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat regretful that this power could not be used many times. At this moment, he noticed the Life Watch that he had just comprehended and had some ideas to try it out.
Just then, Electrolux interrupted Huo Yuhao's actions once again.
"Yuhao, I must tell you a few things: what you have comprehended this time is not momentum, but the law."
"Laws?" Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned. According to what the Grim Reaper had said before, wasn't this a power that only gods could comprehend? He immediately listened carefully to Electrolux's explanation.
"That's right. Within a god's body are three types of energy: divine power, divine consciousness, and laws, as well as a divine body used to contain these energies."
"In your world, five conditions must be met to become a god."
"Mental power transforms into divine consciousness, soul power transforms into divine power, the body transforms into a divine form, one comprehends any one of the laws, and finally, the power of faith connects them together."
"Simply put, a divine position is actually a god-level soul tool, and its core is the power of laws."
"After your divine consciousness and divine power are injected into the soul guide core, they are released through the soul guide shell formed by your body, and the part connecting the soul guide core and the soul guide shell is the power of faith."
"The reason why your body has not been affected by the divine consciousness before is that, Yuhao, your divine consciousness and body lack the power of faith to connect them."
"Therefore, even if your mental strength far exceeds your soul power and physical strength, it will not cause damage to your body."
After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao reflected on the concept of godhood and briefly explained his understanding to Electrolux to verify its accuracy.
"So, according to Elder Yi, those so-called divine succession are actually the original gods stripping away their own power of law and attaching it to the successor."
"Because the amplification intensity of the laws is different, that is, the level of the soul tool is different, the hierarchy of third-level god, second-level god, first-level god and god king is formed."
Electrolux nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Huo Yuhao understood quickly.
"Yuhao, you're absolutely right. That's why there are two different ways to cultivate after reaching the god level."
"One approach is to continue cultivating the laws, and as the laws become stronger, to use their amplification effect on the cultivation of divine power to increase the speed of divine power cultivation, thereby enhancing divine power while increasing combat strength."
"The other way is to cultivate divine power and improve oneself by relying on the power of divine power itself, because the laws are limited by the upper limit of the laws in the current divine realm, but divine power is not."
Huo Yuhao roughly understood the cultivation system of the God Realm, but he had some different opinions on the cultivation method that Electrolux mentioned.
"But Elder Yi, since raising one's divine position can increase the speed of cultivating divine power, then improving cultivation efficiency should naturally be given higher priority than direct cultivation."
"Another point is, since divine positions have the ability to enhance the effects of cultivation, why do many gods still give up their divine positions?"
After hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Electrolux thought for a moment about how to explain, and then spoke again:
"Yuhao, have you ever thought about this: what would happen if you injected Soul Emperor-level Soul Power into a Level 4 Soul Tool?"
"That's right. Soul tools can be damaged, and the same principle applies to divine positions. When your divine power far exceeds the upper limit that a divine position can bear, the divine position itself becomes a limitation."
"During the battle, you need to avoid the amplification of the divine position as much as possible, otherwise the divine position will be at risk of shattering."
"Similarly, the core of a godhood is still the law. Once your divine power exceeds the upper limit of the law, you will naturally no longer be able to obtain the amplification effect of the law on your divine power."
After listening to Electrolux's explanation, Huo Yuhao understood the reason for the inheritance of divine positions and also understood why most of those gods hoped to get rid of their divine positions as soon as possible.
Just like the previous generation of sea god and asura god, their divine power level probably exceeded the limit of their divine positions long ago, and had long since reached the point of affecting their own combat.
Finding a successor to the divine position is equally difficult; not just anyone can inherit a certain level of power of law.
If the successor's talent is insufficient, not only will it be difficult to inherit the laws, but the body may not even be able to bear the power of the divine position.
Only those like the God of Destruction and the God of Tang, who are wholeheartedly bound to the divine realm, would cling to their divine positions and refuse to let go.
"Elder Yi, my current physical strength is not enough to fully utilize my divine sense, which is why I need to reduce the use of the laws."
"But at the same time, I must increase the strength of the laws as much as possible, preferably to the current upper limit of the God Realm."
Electrolux smiled and nodded. "Yuhao, with your talent, comprehending the laws of a God-King is not a problem. Don't be impatient, and focus on your foundation."
"This time, we have to thank Little Scorpion and Little Snow Maiden. If they hadn't risked their lives to protect your meridians and body, your body would have been unable to withstand the impact."
Huo Yuhao then realized that Bingdi and Xuedi were fast asleep, and he and Ilex had been chatting for so long without being able to wake them up.
Looking at Tianmeng, who was also sleeping in the corner, Huo Yuhao bowed to all the souls in his spiritual sea.
"Thank you all for your help. When I become a god, I will surely help you all attain your divine positions."
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao shifted his consciousness to the outside world, preparing to go back and meet up with Elder Xuan and the others.
At this moment, Electrolux fell into deep thought once again.
"Where did the power that finally helped Yuhao come from? It actually completed the half-formed law instantly."
"However, since Yuhao is not worried, there should be no major problem. With his divine sense, he would have noticed the abnormality."
Having figured it out, Electrolux stopped worrying. After the fierce battle with the phantom of death, he was also exhausted, so he entered his second sea of consciousness and temporarily fell into a deep sleep to recover his depleted spiritual energy.
