234: Chapter 234 Professional Levels and God Levels (Combined Chapter)

Speaking of which, after the Ancient God Continent transformed into the Star Realm and the Myriad Gods Realm.

You original deities cannot descend into the Star Realm with your true bodies.

You guess that this must be a restriction imposed by the will of the Primordial World.

Although the current Star Realm is even larger than the Ancient God Continent, the destructive power of you deities cannot be underestimated.

Doing this is likely to prevent you from causing irreversible damage to the newly formed Star Realm.

However, you Innate deities are equivalent to Incarnations of Law or even Rule.

These Laws and even Rules permeate the entire Primordial World; if you wanted to, you could break through this restriction.

Even without descending with your true bodies, your power can still be transmitted into the Star Realm.

For example, if you wanted to right now, you could directly cause the stars in the Star Realm to dim, lose their light, and plunge the brilliant Star Realm into eternal darkness.

Of course, you dare not do so.

Because you feel that if you really did that, even if you are the so-called "favored son" of the world, you would definitely end up with a miserable fate.

And no matter how strong you are, you were birthed by the world, and under normal circumstances, you absolutely cannot be stronger than a complete world.

If a world wants to target a living being, that being will definitely end up quite miserable.

The gods did not have much of a reaction to the restrictions imposed by the Primordial World.

After all, for the gods, the current Myriad Gods Realm is a quite comfortable environment, even better than the previous Ancient God Continent.

Moreover, just as mentioned before, although you are all very powerful, you do not want to experience the iron fist of the world.

Actually, the power you could normally exert in the Star Realm was originally very weak, roughly at the level of the Golden Human Race when they are just born.

Under this standard, the more power you exert, the stronger the suppression you will receive, and even reaching a certain range will result in some world backlash.

But now, with the birth of Acquired deities, you have discovered that the level of power you can exert in the Star Realm has also been raised to the same level as a newly ascended True God.

After being able to exert more power, you used the Rule of Light as a guide to enlighten a star of light in every Material Plane of the Star Realm.

These stars of light are equivalent to your Incarnations, and also equivalent to your eyes and ears.

In the future, no matter how many worlds are born in the Star Realm, there will inevitably be a star of light in these worlds.

Later, researchers in the Star Realm discovered that every Material Plane in the Star Realm has a special star.

Living beings near this kind of star have naturally higher potential than others and are extremely compatible with the light element.

There are even some legends circulating in some worlds—when the world falls into crisis, one only needs to pray to the star of light, and a giant of light will appear to save the world.

At 1.1 billion years old, more and more deities were born in the Star Realm.

The vast majority of them were ancient beings who had survived from the Ancient God Continent era to this day.

Therefore, after these beings became deities, they gradually realized that although they and you, the most ancient existences, were both called deities, there were significant differences.

At a council of gods, these newcomers, with hearts full of awe, respectfully addressed you as "Ancient Gods".

This title was not only recognition of you as the most ancient beings in the world, but also reverence for the primitive divinity you represent.

Gradually, the appellation "Ancient God Continent" also began to spread widely in the Star Realm.

Whenever a living being mentions this name, their tone always carries an unconcealable yearning, as if they are telling of a distant and glorious era.

It can be said that it is precisely because these first-generation beings of the myriad races are still alive and have become new gods that the Ancient God Continent has not been forgotten in history.

These first-generation beings have experienced many wars of the Ancient Gods and have a considerable understanding of the strength of the Ancient Gods.

In their view, even if they successfully ascended to godhood, they were still far from those Law-level Ancient Gods.

This also gave them a strong pursuit for the path after becoming a god.

There is not a single Star Realm deity who does not yearn for the power of the Ancient God level.

At 1.11 billion years old, not only did many deities emerge in the Star Realm, but the classification of the strength of beings before becoming gods also began to gradually unify.

In the Star Realm, below the deities, there are twelve levels in total,

which are Transcendence Ranks 1 to 9, Sanctuary, Legend, and Demigod.

These twelve Realms are linked together, and the Breakthrough of each Rank requires enduring tempering that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

From the initial Rank 1 Transcendence to the final Demigod Realm, there is a chasm-like gap between each Realm.

Each increase in Rank represents a leap in strength and the essence of life.

The initial version of this system was the Mage system created by the God of Mages.

Later, after being organized by the gods of the Star Realm, it became the standard for measuring the strength of all living beings.

This system is called the Professional system.

A Rank 1 Professional initially masters extraordinary energy and truly possesses power that transcends the Mortal.

Beings at this stage are already able to perceive the Spiritual Qi drifting between heaven and earth and can use simple extraordinary skills.

Their lifespan can reach two hundred years, and they can control fire, command flowing water, perceive the breath of the wind...

They can easily defeat dozens or even hundreds of beings below the Transcendence level.

Ranks 1 to 3 are collectively referred to as "Low-Rank Professionals", which is a key stage for every practitioner to lay the foundation and realize the transformation of the essence of life.

Beings at this period need to use day-after-day Cultivation to temper the energy in their bodies, causing it to gradually condense from a thin gaseous state into a liquid state, and finally reach a qualitative change into a solid state.

When a being breaks through the shackles and reaches Rank 4 Transcendence, they will welcome the first major turning point on the path of Cultivation.

At this time, they are no longer apprentices who have just glimpsed the path, but have truly stepped onto the road of the strong.

Rank 4 Professionals can resonate with heaven and earth, draw upon the surrounding natural energy for their own use, and unleash Moves with astonishing power.

A single Sword Qi can split mountains and break cliffs, a fireball can incinerate a radius of a hundred meters; this level of destructive power makes low-Rank beings unable to even catch a glimpse of their dust.

Professionals at this stage begin to focus on the tempering of their mental will and the honing of their skills.

Ranks 4 to 6 are collectively referred to as "Mid-Rank Professionals".

And upon reaching Rank 7, this is where a truly huge gap is opened up from before.

Beings at this level have already integrated everything they have learned in their lives, reaching the Realm of "skills approaching the Dao", and have created their own unique combat system.

The sign of this stage is the ability to perfectly integrate one's own power, being able to use every bit of one's power on the cutting edge.

A Rank 7 Sword Dao Professional expert, with a casual strike, contains their lifelong insights into Sword Dao, and its power is enough to cut off rivers.

And a Rank 7 mage can instantly cast high-level Spells, playing with elemental power with mastery.

Ranks 7 to 9 are collectively referred to as "High-Rank Professionals".

As for the subsequent Sanctuary Realm, it is the only way to reach higher levels.

Experts who reach this Realm have already surpassed the mere application of skills and have begun to touch the surface of Laws.

They can combine what they have learned with the energy of heaven and earth to form a unique Domain; this Domain is both a manifestation of their own power and an extension of their Soul.

Within the Domain, the will of a Sanctuary expert can briefly distort reality.

They can make the energy they control violate basic physical Rules to a certain extent, forming miracles that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

For example, letting fire burn in water without extinguishing, making gravity lose its effect to cause all things to float, and some Sanctuary experts can even cause subtle changes in the flow rate of time in a local area.

Each Sanctuary expert's Domain carries a distinct personal mark, be it a scorching lava world, a tranquil eternal ice field, or a primeval forest full of vitality.

This kind of Domain is not only a Sharp Weapon in battle, but also a dojo for Cultivation, where practicing often yields twice the result with half the effort.

To break through to the Sanctuary Realm, not only does it require deep accumulation, but it also requires an opportunity for Epiphany; many experts are stuck before this threshold for their entire lives.

As for Legend experts, this level has already stepped half a foot into the divine Realm; they can perceive and even initially control the most basic operating Laws of the world.

And they begin to collect "Power of Legend"—this is the embryonic form of the praise and faith of all living beings for their deeds.

The name of a Legend expert often resonates across several planes, and their legends circulate in countless worlds.

It is precisely this widely spread reputation that gives them the qualification to initially come into contact with the Power Of Faith, which is also a key accumulation for igniting the divine fire in the future.

Demigod is a Realm only one step away from a True God, representing the ultimate that Mortal life can achieve.

They fuse the collected Power Of Faith with the Laws they have comprehended throughout their lives, tempering a brilliant divine radiance.

This divinity not only transforms their Physical Body, causing it to gradually break away from the Mortal coil, but also plants the seed of divinity deep in their Soul.

A Demigod body can already withstand a portion of Divine Power, and their every Move carries a faint pressure of Law; ordinary beings cannot even look directly at their true form.

When a Demigod expert has accumulated enough divinity and faith, they can ignite the divine fire, forge a godhead, and then raise their divine kingdom in the Star Realm, completing the ultimate transformation from Mortal to god.

Speaking of which, the Domain of the Sanctuary Realm is the embryonic form of a divine kingdom.

A divine kingdom is a divine plane created by a being using their own Domain combined with the power of space to carry the position of a deity.

At 1.15 billion years old, the Star Realm ushered in another epoch-making moment.

That Acquired deity who ascended to godhood with a Mortal body—the God of Mages, today, tens of millions of years after becoming a god, has broken through the shackles again.

During the Breakthrough process, the radiance of Laws surrounding him was even more dazzling than when he first ascended to godhood, and the light emitted by his divine kingdom illuminated many surrounding worlds.

After the Breakthrough, not only did the divine kingdom of the God of Mages become much larger, but his Divine Power also underwent a qualitative transformation.

Now, with a wave of his hand, he can reshape the order of a galaxy.

This transformation shocked the gods of the Star Realm, because the power displayed by the God of Mages at this time had far surpassed that of ordinary deities who had just ascended to godhood.

As for the method of the God of Mages' Breakthrough, it is actually similar to when you obtained the Forging Godhead and the language godhead.

After becoming a god, the God of Mages has been continuously improving his attainments in Spells; as these attainments continue to improve, the godhead based on this is also constantly strengthening.

When this accumulation reaches a certain critical point, quantitative change triggers qualitative change, the godhead will undergo an essential sublimation, blooming with unprecedented radiance.

Afterwards, one only needs to collect and refine a large amount of Power Of Faith to push oneself to a higher level.

From this, it can be seen that for the deities of the Star Realm, the Power Of Faith is still quite important.

Although after becoming a god, even without the Power Of Faith, one's power will not be lost.

But without the Power Of Faith, even if the godhead sublimates, one cannot reach a higher level.

But if one wants to climb to a higher Realm, this power is the key.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, burning the Power Of Faith can also allow the deity's divine arts to exert greater power.

At 1.2 billion years old, the gods of the Star Realm used the Divine Power of the God of Mages after his Breakthrough as a benchmark, combined with their impressions of those Ancient Gods from the Ancient God Continent era.

established a complete system of Divine Power Ranks.

This system is like a brilliant staircase, from bottom to top, they are: Faint Divine Power, Weak Divine Power, Intermediate Divine Power, Great Divine Power, Great Divine Power.

And what they consider the apex of deities, the Supreme God!

Even the most basic Faint Divine Power possesses might that is unimaginable to Mortals.

They can pluck stars with their bare hands and treat celestial bodies as playthings to be manipulated at will.

And beings who reach Weak Divine Power have power that grows geometrically, even capable of destroying a galaxy.

Currently, the most powerful deities among the Star Realm gods are the God of Mages and some Weak Divine Power-level deities who have also broken through one after another following the God of Mages.

As for why the strongest among the Star Realm deities are only at the Weak Divine Power level, yet there are subsequent divisions of Intermediate, Great, and even Great Divine Power, and Supreme God.

This is naturally a classification based on the strength of you Ancient Gods.

Some first-generation beings of the myriad races who have reached Weak Divine Power are already able to slightly see clearly the terror of the strength displayed by you Ancient Gods during the Ancient God Continent era.

Among them, the Intermediate Divine Power above Weak Divine Power corresponds to those slightly weaker Law-level Ancient Gods.

Great Divine Power corresponds to the top batch of Law-level Ancient Gods.

As for Great Divine Power, it corresponds to Rule-level Ancient Gods.

Finally, it corresponds to you, the Supreme God of Light who easily handled the God of Fire and the God of Water, these two Rule-level Ancient Gods.

You look at the classification of the Star Realm gods and find that this classification is indeed not wrong.

Some slightly weaker Law-level Ancient Gods are just one level stronger than the current God of Mages.

However, to be classified so accurately, if you were to say that there was no push from the Star Realm will or even the world will, you would not believe it.
