Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 269: Godly Seed, Understanding the Rules, and the Role of Faith

"Then we have reached an agreement. I will share with you all the methods of becoming a god after the war," the Pope said.
"Can we do it now?" Shi Yu asked after a moment's hesitation.
It's still unclear how long this war will last. He might have to go back in a few days. If the war isn't over by then, won't he miss the opportunity to become a god?
The Pope shook his head and explained, "It wouldn't make much sense for me to share it with you now, because I'm not sure if my method of becoming a god is useful."

"The reason I have to wait until after the war is because as long as I can defeat the God of Death, I will be able to complete the little that I lack and truly condense the Godhood."

"Only then can I prove that my method of becoming a god is capable of being cultivated into a god."

"If I can't become a god by then, then it means my method is useless. What's the point of sharing it with you?"

"Is there any necessary connection between whether or not you kill the God of Death and whether or not you become a God?" Shi Yu didn't understand the connection.
This isn't really about leveling up by beating monsters. It's impossible to say that defeating the Grim Reaper will actually earn you experience points and level up.
"Forget it, I will tell you about my method of becoming a god now."

"My method of becoming a god can be divided into two stages. The first stage is the condensation of the god seed, which requires a very deep understanding of the ability of the martial soul."

"Reaching level ninety-nine is also a necessary condition."

"To put it simply, this divine seed is an energy crystal formed by the extreme compression and condensation of cultivation."

"A ninety-nine-level soul master would have to compress his cultivation ten times to condense a godhood seed the size of a grain of sand."

"And if you want the God Seed to grow to a size large enough to communicate with the God Realm, it needs to reach a size roughly the size of a fist."

Shi Yu silently compared the size of a grain of sand to that of his fist. It would probably take tens of thousands of grains of sand to form a dragon eye.
In other words, in order to reach the level of communicating with the divine realm, one needs to compress one's own cultivation by at least 100,000 times?
"If compressing all of your soul power is considered one time, how many times can a level 99 soul master compress it in one day?" Shi Yu couldn't help but ask.
He actually didn't have a very clear understanding of the recovery speed of the ultimate strong.
Anyway, in his own case, it would take at least an hour to replenish his soul power after it was depleted.
Because of his spatial martial spirit, he is extremely sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth and absorbs it very quickly, perhaps two or three times faster than a spirit master of the same level.
If it were any other soul master of the same level, it would probably take two to three hours to fully recover.
The total amount of soul power of an extreme strong person is greater, and although the absorption speed may be faster, it should still take more than an hour.
"If you simply consume and restore your energy, a level 99 soul master should be able to restore it six to eight times within fifteen hours."

"Different soul masters have different situations, and their recovery speeds will vary," the Pope said.
A day of fifteen hours deducts the time for eating and sleeping.
Even a level 99 soul master couldn't sleep non-stop; his body couldn't handle it.
On average, it takes about two hours to fully recover... Shi Yu thought to himself, this recovery speed is still relatively fast.
If we calculate the maximum number of times per day to be eight, that would be around two thousand eight or two thousand nine per year, and over twenty thousand times in ten years. By this calculation, within a hundred years, it would surely be possible to condense enough energy to communicate with the divine realm.
"It's definitely not that simple," Shi Yu shook his head. This was an ideal calculation.
The actual difficulty of doing this is definitely very high, not even an extremely strong person can compress their soul power repeatedly.
It's the same as not all soul masters with full innate soul power can cultivate to the limit or even be awarded a title.
Not all extremes are qualified to challenge the God level.
The Pope continued, "What I just said was the recovery speed, not the time required for compression." "When I first tried to compress, it took me ten days to successfully compress my soul power."

"It was only later, as we became more proficient in the compression process, that we were able to increase the speed, reducing the time from ten days to five days, one day, two hours, and one hour."

"One hour is my limit, I can't go any faster."

"If that's the case, it should take more than a hundred years to successfully communicate with the divine realm," Shi Yu calculated.
I still feel that this time is a bit too long. It took more than a hundred years to be able to communicate with the divine realm. This should only be the first step to the divine level. There are obviously still difficulties to follow.
"It took me one hundred and five years from the first time I compressed my soul power to the time I successfully communicated with the divine realm."

"After successfully establishing a connection with the divine realm, one will gain a deeper understanding of one's own power and the power of heaven and earth."

"My martial soul is an angel, its main attribute is light, and it also has the fire of the sun."

"So, what I need to comprehend is light and fire. I must elevate my understanding of light and fire to a divine level. Only then can I truly gain the recognition of the divine realm and achieve my ultimate ascension to godhood," the Pope continued.
Shi Yu briefly summarized it in his mind. To become a god, there are two steps. The first step is to condense the god seed and communicate with the divine world.
After establishing a connection, all you need to do is improve your understanding of the rules.
It seems simple to think about it, but it is very difficult to actually operate it.
Just talking about the first step is a very time-consuming thing. A hundred years? His past and present lives combined only have a life experience of more than twenty years, so it is still a long way from a hundred years.
After completing this first step, the second step would be even more difficult. He now understood why it often took hundreds of years to create a godhood.
The Pope now looks like a young woman in her twenties or thirties, but in fact she was created three hundred years ago.
If we really want to address her according to her age, calling her grandma is making her look younger.
"So, how does this relate to you defeating the God of Death and becoming a god?" Shi Yu brought the question back to the original one.
"Because of faith, it can speed up my understanding of the rules."

"If I really want to comprehend it bit by bit, even if I spend a thousand years, I may not be able to truly understand the divine rules of light and fire."

"The reason why I can now elevate my perception to the point where I am only a hair's breadth away from the divine level is because I have received the power of faith to accelerate my perception."

"After defeating the God of Death, the world's faith in me will reach a peak. At that time, I will surely comprehend the divine rules in one fell swoop and achieve godhood."

When the Pope said this, his eyes, which had always been calm, suddenly became fiery.
Becoming a god, that was her ultimate goal after three hundred years of hard work, and now she was only one step away from achieving it.
The anticipation and excitement of success are enough to make it difficult for anyone to remain calm.
