160: Divine liquid, prolong life for a thousand years

Inside the first quiet room.

"Why is it so small?" Li Feng frowned slightly, looking at the cramped room, which was less than ten square meters.

With such a narrow space, it was naturally impossible to have an Awakening God Pool.

He had previously thought of absorbing more from the Awakening God Pool to raise Speite to the eighth rank.

Although breaking through from the seventh to eighth rank wouldn't result in a qualitative transformation,

at the very least, all his attributes would double, and his overall strength would increase by an unknown multiple.

But looking at the empty quiet room with only an Eight Immortals Table, Li Feng knew his idea was shattered.

"Let's see what the reward for the second round of assessment is; it should be more valuable than the first."

Even without an Awakening God Pool, Li Feng wasn't disheartened.

The reward for the second round of assessment would definitely be better than the first; there was no doubt about that.

No Awakening God Pool meant it had been replaced by other rewards.

With this thought, Li Feng approached the Eight Immortals Table.

"A drop of golden liquid?"

Li Feng looked at the bottle in front of him in surprise.

The Eight Immortals Table was empty, with only a transparent bottle containing a drop of golden liquid.

"What is this thing?" Li Feng was full of questions.

"Good stuff!" Just then, the two small Water and Fire figures appeared beside Li Feng simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the transparent bottle.

Li Feng wasn't surprised by their sudden appearance; he simply turned his gaze to them.

"Do you know why Gods can exist eternally, but mortals cannot?" Fireman Laka asked, not answering directly.

"I don't know." Li Feng shook his head honestly.

Perhaps some geniuses from major powers might know this question.

But people like Li Feng, who came from humble beginnings, didn't have elders to educate them on such high-level knowledge.

"Mortals can reach a maximum of the twelfth rank. After that, if they wish to become Gods, they must ignite the divine fire in the universe and burn their bodies and souls with it. This is a tribulation, a test, and a great opportunity. Those who endure it will gain eternal life."

"And all of this is due to the Divine Body and Divine Soul. The Divine Body allows Gods' physical bodies to exist eternally without decay, and the Divine Soul grants Gods eternal life. Combined, they are the reason for Gods' eternal existence."

Fireman Laka was silent for a moment before saying, "And this drop of liquid is refined from Gods. This is a Divine Liquid that my master, during his God stage, spent endless years and slew nine Mythical-grade opponents to refine from their Divine Bodies and Divine Souls."

Crazy!

Li Feng was deeply shocked, his body trembling uncontrollably from excitement.

Refined from nine Gods!

What kind of outrageous statement was this? It was simply too insane.

What was the concept of nine Gods? It was still unknown whether there were even nine Gods currently existing in Dragon Country.

After all, the starry sky was infinitely vast, with too many places to conquer, and Gods could also grow stronger.

Some Gods, after leaving behind some means for their descendants, embarked on the endless starry sky without looking back, their life and death unknown ever since.

And this single drop of golden Divine Liquid represented the demise of nine Gods who could have lived forever.

"Oh, don't overthink it. There are a total of 999 drops of Divine Liquid, and yours is just one of them. But it's still good stuff. After you use it, breaking through to the ninth rank in one go shouldn't be too much of a problem. Most importantly, it's enough to extend your lifespan by a thousand years," Waterman Bengka added.

Extend lifespan by a thousand years!

Hearing that it was only one-thousandth of the Divine Liquid and could only help him break through to the ninth rank, Li Feng was a little disappointed.

Even without this Divine Liquid, it wouldn't take him too long to break through to the ninth rank.

For many Lords, the difficulty in raising their rank was their Troops.

But for Li Feng, that was the easiest part.

As for gems, with a little effort, Li Feng believed he could gather them in a short time.

So, breaking through to the ninth rank held no appeal for him.

But Waterman Bengka's last sentence startled him.

He immediately realized how heaven-defying this drop of Divine Liquid truly was.

With a human's lifespan, even breaking through to the twelfth rank only granted about two thousand years of life.

Among a group of top-tier twelfth-rank Lords, over their long lives, they had already gathered the Mythical-grade gems needed for breakthrough, as well as some other conditions.

Only the Troops remained, and this was the most difficult.

Breaking through to Godhood required a staggering one trillion Troops!

One trillion, that was a million million!

In two thousand years, many top Lords could only gather more than half, and some lucky ones could gather over ninety percent of the Troops, but ultimately, they ran out of time and couldn't fully gather them.

Although Lords could trade Troops with each other,

not to mention whether such a massive number of Troops could be purchased,

even if they could, it would be useless.

The Troops counted for rank breakthroughs had to be those summoned by one's own Troop Altar.

Otherwise, some Gods who had lived for a long time could easily give a trillion Troops to others.

Of course, this was only the first hurdle.

The divine fire burning the body was even more difficult; ninety-nine percent of those who bathed in the divine fire perished there.

But for those Lords who couldn't gather enough Troops due to lack of time and died because their lifespan ran out before even getting a chance to bathe in the divine fire, how regretful and despairing must that be!

For Li Feng, gathering enough Troops was no pressure, so increasing lifespan didn't hold much appeal for him.

But he could imagine that once this drop of Divine Liquid was announced by him, it would cause a frenzy across the entire Earth, and countless top Lords would use every means possible to get this drop of Divine Liquid from Li Feng's hands.

"It's truly heavy," Li Feng sighed, holding the bottle in his hand.

"Hehe, it seems you've also realized how precious this thing is. If it weren't for your dazzling performance, we wouldn't have given you such a precious item."

Waterman Bengka chuckled.

Li Feng didn't reply, just stared at the bottle in his hand.

Just as the two small Water and Fire figures were about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Seniors, you said there are a total of 999 drops of this Divine Liquid, right?"

Hearing this, Fireman Laka nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then if I obtain your master's inheritance, will I be able to obtain all 999 drops?" Li Feng's eyes grew fervent.

Just one drop? Not enough!

He didn't need the Divine Liquid, but many others did.

He could completely trade it with others.

Some precious resources required bartering; even with endless gold coins, they couldn't be bought.

But he could use the Divine Liquid in his hand to exchange for any treasure.

After all, no matter how precious a treasure, it couldn't compare to the possibility of eternal existence.

As for whether one could ultimately endure the divine fire hurdle?

Almost everyone held a glimmer of hope.

If you can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't either.

Just give me a chance, and I'll show you!

"Hahaha!" The two small Water and Fire figures exchanged glances and burst out laughing simultaneously.

"You're very good; I like ambitious young people like you. You guessed correctly. As long as you can obtain my master's inheritance, you will naturally get all the Divine Liquid. I hope your capabilities are as great as your ambition, otherwise it will become a joke."

Waterman Bengka said with a hearty laugh, then disappeared.

"I'm also looking forward to it."

Fireman Laka said, then also disappeared immediately after...
