223: When the time comes, heaven and earth will join forces to make you a god!
According to Lin Mo, he 'saw' the future the instant he finished sorting through the Legacy.
In the future, a tsunami covered the sky and the sun, sweeping across the Min-Tai Sea Area.
A 'Calamity Sun' fell from a dimensional rift, turning into a dark mist that spread across the world with the sea breeze.
Countless people died from the dark mist, cities became silent and empty, and the land was ravaged.
After 'seeing' the future, he instinctively wanted to prevent all of this from happening.
While he was racking his brains to find a solution, the Divine Dao Inheritance appeared in his mind.
Perhaps it was a moment when heaven and earth conspired to help him.
He had just organized the Divine Dao Inheritance, and there were still many aspects of it he didn't fully understand.
Yet, for some unknown reason, he suddenly had a surge of inspiration for the Dao of Godhood.
For example, how can an ordinary person, without a shred of faith, become a God... "Follow the will of heaven amidst the great trends of heaven and earth, and ascend to Godhood."
"And to ascend to Godhood, the great trends of heaven and earth need to be on the verge of eruption, and the world's approval is needed, and even more, one needs to abandon everything from before."
"For example, shedding the mortal body..."
As Yang Dian murmured, Lin Mo, who had just stepped onto the first Divine Step, lifted his foot again and took a step forward.
But this time, it wasn't his body that stood on the second Divine Step.
Instead, it was his water-elemental body, which had emerged from his original body, its eyes gleaming with a radiant light.
"Eliminating Innate abilities..."
As the words fell, the water-elemental body, representing his Eagle Eye and water-elemental Innate abilities, was left by Lin Mo on the second Divine Step.
A colorful, golden-glowing Soul stepped onto the third Divine Step.
"Severing emotions..."
The golden-glowing Soul stepped onto the fourth Divine Step.
But it was only that golden-glowing Soul.
The colorful hues representing emotions were left behind on the third Divine Step.
"Abandoning memories..."
Lin Mo looked back.
Yang Dian didn't know what he, having already abandoned emotions, was looking at.
He only saw him look back, then step forward without hesitation.
A body composed of countless images was abandoned, left behind on the fourth Divine Step.
"Then, ascending the five Divine Steps, the True Spirit separates from the Soul, leaving only the obsession to step onto the sixth Divine Step, and receive a heavenly blessing..."
A speck of True Spirit flew out from the Soul and landed on the sixth Divine Step.
A ray of sunlight tore through the rolling dark clouds, shining upon Lin Mo's True Spirit, which was as faint as a firefly.
Then the True Spirit burst into brilliant light, illuminating the sea area shrouded in darkness.
Countless marine creatures rose from the sea, floating silently on the surface, gazing at that brilliant True Spirit.
Their mouths opened and closed, as if praying to Him.
Wisps of light mist rose from the ocean, transforming into endless silken light that wrapped around that speck of True Spirit.
Finally, the silken light gathered, forming a figure identical to Lin Mo, but full of divinity.
Just as Lin Mo regained his body, the long staircase of Godhood beneath his feet began to widen and expand, and also began to rise rapidly.
In an instant, it carried him high into the sky.
Then, from bottom to top, it shattered... Just before the sixth Divine Step completely shattered, Lin Mo took another step, standing on a Divine Step that faintly glowed with a golden-blue light.
After ascending the seventh Divine Step, he turned his body and sat back.
The golden-blue Divine Step suddenly expanded, transforming into a vast Divine Platform.
Lin Mo's body also grew larger as he sat down.
By the time he sat on the sea-blue Divine Throne that had appeared at some unknown point, his body had grown to seven hundred meters tall.
The remaining Divine Steps, which had carried his body, Innate abilities, emotions, memories, and Soul, fell directly into the sea and disappeared.
"Shedding everything, severing the past, and then..."
"Ascending to Godhood."
As Yang Dian's words fell, Lin Mo, sitting on the Divine Throne, opened his eyes.
His gaze was initially somewhat bewildered, but after surveying the world, it gained a divine quality.
And also became somewhat indifferent.
That indifferent gaze finally fell upon the dimensional rift after the tsunami, which seemed about to descend, yet seemed to lack something, unable to shatter the spatial barrier and merge with Earth's space.
Whatever was inside the dimensional rift seemed to trigger Lin Mo's obsession.
The colossal figure high on the Divine Throne spread his palm.
The silken light that wrapped around him, not yet fully exhausted, gathered in his palm, forming a small bronze cauldron.
"Forever guard the Chinese Sea Area."
A low murmur gently drifted from high in the sky to Yang Dian's ears.
Then the small cauldron fell from the high heavens.
The small cauldron grew bigger and bigger, until it was larger than the distorted space on the sea surface.
Then.
It gently 'pressed' onto it.
The distorted space instantly returned to calm, and the sky-covering tsunami was suppressed at the same time, dissipating into splashes of water that silently merged into the ocean.
The sky full of dark clouds also seemed to sense the disappearance of the disaster and began to slowly fade.
Soon after, sunlight broke through the dark clouds, once again shining upon this area where it seemed nothing had happened, and seagulls flew as usual over the sea.
Once the winds calmed, the waves subsided, and the sun shone brightly, Lin Mo, seated on the Divine Throne, lowered his head again and glanced towards the shore.
Immediately, his figure slowly faded, disappearing between heaven and earth.
If Yang Dian hadn't been mistaken, in Lin Mo's gaze just before he disappeared, he saw a trace of almost imperceptible humanity, nearly completely covered by divinity...
"So, after the Director became a parasite, what sustained his humanity amidst endless suffering was his daughter, Tongtong."
"Captain, you became the Sea God. Besides guarding the Chinese Sea Area, was your obsession before becoming a God also that girl, Ling Ling?"
"Was it also that girl, Ling Ling, who made you retain a trace of humanity?"
"What humanity anchor points, what doting father."
"More importantly, both powder kegs are in my hands..."
After muttering a couple of sentences, Yang Dian scratched his hair, looking a bit troubled.
"So, when I go back, how should I tell that girl Lin Ling?"
"Tell her that her father became the Sea God, and if she misses her father, she should go to the seaside and worship him?"
He kicked a pebble by his foot into the sea, and thinking of the information Lin Mo had left behind, Yang Dian sighed again.
Lin Mo called this Becoming God Method, where one sheds all of their past, leaving only the True Spirit and obsession for heaven and earth to reshape the body, the Innate Becoming God Method.
Compared to the Divine Dao Inheritance, the advantage of the Innate Becoming God Method is that once one becomes a God, one is an Innate God, instantly gaining incredibly powerful strength.
And one is not troubled by faith; even without followers, one can live forever.
The disadvantage is that one will abandon everything from the past, becoming desireless and emotionless, only acting according to 'rules'.
Fortunately, as long as that trace of humanity anchor point is preserved, there is still hope of regaining memories and fully restoring humanity.
"It's a pity he only ascended to the 7th Divine Step."
In Lin Mo's estimation, the long staircase of Godhood should have 9 steps.
The higher the Divine Step one ascends, the stronger one's power after becoming a God.
But his inspiration could only support him in deducing the method to ascend to the 7th Divine Step, missing the last two steps.
"But seven steps are already very strong."
"I feel like he could slap the Lizardman God to death."
"It's just that he lacks self-awareness; now he only instinctively guards the Chinese Sea Area..."
As Yang Dian's thoughts churned, Lei Ming and the others also landed beside him.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, Yang Dian walked to the seaside and stepped into the seawater.
"That's right."
"The person who just ascended to Godhood was my Captain, Lin Mo, a Second-Level Peacekeeper of the Fuzhou Paranormal Management Bureau."
