Panlong's Transcendental Fire
Chapter 28 Achieving Godhood Within the Body and Outside the Body
After Lin Tian asked the question, Harry, sensing Lin Tian's strength by releasing his soul power, was quite surprised and asked, "Have you begun to comprehend the profound mysteries?"
Lin Tian was taken aback when he heard this, unsure of how to respond.
Potter continued, "Lin Tian has excellent fire element talent. He had already come into contact with the profound mysteries of the 'fire element' before reaching the Saint Realm. Lin Tian became a Saint Realm expert by comprehending the profound mysteries of the 'fire element'."
Harry was very happy and said "good" several times.
"Since you have such great talent, I will tell you directly what will happen when you become a god, so that you can make the right judgment," Harry said.
Lin Tian listened intently as Harry explained the process of becoming a god. When he heard that there were two options for becoming a god: "becoming a god externally" and "becoming a god internally," he eagerly asked, "Great-Grandpa, you just mentioned becoming a god externally and internally. What are the specific differences between these two methods? Which method is better?"
Harry narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought, and after a moment slowly said, "Lin Tian, there are indeed many differences between becoming a god externally and internally. On our continent, becoming a god externally is relatively more common. Becoming a god externally means that when a cultivator becomes a god, he condenses his understanding of the laws into a physical godhead outside his body, and then forms a new divine avatar."
For cultivators with multi-law talents, achieving godhood outside the body offers unique advantages. Those with multi-law talents can simultaneously comprehend the mysteries of multiple laws, and if their strength is sufficient, they can even gain insights into different laws. Therefore, if they choose to achieve godhood outside the body, they can still cultivate other laws and reach godhood in those laws as well. This allows them to create multiple divine avatars. Even if one divine avatar perishes while the others survive, the individual remains alive. In essence, achieving godhood outside the body grants a second life.
However, achieving godhood outside the body is not a smooth process. It requires the dissection of your soul.
Harry seemed to recall the agony of his soul being split in two, and said in a hoarse voice, "Becoming a god outside the body will, under the protection of the rules of heaven and earth, forcibly split your soul in two. One half will condense with the profound mystery to form a divine spark and then a divine avatar. Because of the protection of the rules of heaven and earth, you will not die during this process, but you will have to endure this pain while fully conscious."
Lin Tian listened intently, then asked, "If splitting the soul of someone who achieves godhood outside the body doesn't affect their life, and achieving godhood outside the body has so many advantages, then why is there also the option of achieving godhood inside the body?"
Harry said with lingering fear, "Although splitting the soul into two parts to achieve godhood outside the body won't endanger your life, this kind of pain, if not tempered over a long period, will affect your ability to choose to achieve godhood outside the body a second time. And Lin Tian, what do you think is necessary to comprehend the profound mysteries?"
Lin Tian pondered the contents of the original work and said without hesitation, "It's comprehension."
Harry said with great surprise, "Yes, it seems that your talent is really good! The most important thing in comprehending the mysteries is comprehension, and the strength of the soul power will affect comprehension. After the soul is split in two, comprehension will be greatly affected. Before the soul power is restored, your speed of comprehending the mysteries is only a fraction of what it was before. Theoretically speaking, the more divine clones you have, the lower your speed of comprehending the mysteries will be."
Harry's expression was solemn as he said, "Becoming a god within the body means nurturing a divine essence within the body. Because of the focused comprehension of a single law, the understanding of that law is often more profound. Moreover, without experiencing the separation of the soul, the power of the soul does not diminish. When nurturing a divine essence within the body, they can deeply integrate their own soul with a single law, achieving a near-perfect state of union between the divine essence, soul, and body. This is like carefully cultivating a seed within one's own body, allowing it to grow together with one's mind and body."
After successfully achieving godhood within the body, the divine spark becomes inextricably linked to the cultivator's soul and body. The cultivator can then utilize the power of the divine spark more freely, resulting in greater strength. Furthermore, because the divine spark resides within the body, strengthening one's divine body becomes much easier, and a stronger physical body significantly impacts overall power.
Harry looked at Lin Tian with anticipation in his eyes and said, "Lin Tian, the choice of which method to become a god cannot be generalized; it must be decided based on your own actual situation. You have just entered the Saint Realm, and you still have a long way to go in understanding the profound mysteries of the laws. But you are exceptionally talented, and perhaps in the future process of cultivation, you will have unique insights into the laws."
If you feel that you have a good grasp of multiple laws and are confident that you can cultivate multiple laws to the point of godhood, then becoming a god outside the body might be a good choice.
Lin Tian was quite helpless, thinking to himself, "I currently only have the talent for the fire element law, and the shape of my soul power is not suitable for cultivating the destruction rule. Moreover, I don't know if I have the talent for the other three elemental rules."
Lin Tian replied, "Great-grandfather, I only have the talent for the fire element; I have no other elemental talents."
Harry said helplessly, "Since you don't have any other talents, the most suitable thing for you is to become a god within your body when you become a god. This way, you won't experience the splitting of your soul, your speed of comprehending profound mysteries won't decrease, and your strength will improve rapidly after becoming a god."
Lin Tian said unwillingly, "But becoming a god outside the body means having an extra life! That would provide a great guarantee for future cultivation, wouldn't it?"
Harry looked at Lin Tian and said seriously, "Lin Tian, cultivation is a process of continuous progress. If you hold this kind of mindset, then even if you have high talent, you won't make much progress in cultivation. Do you want to stay in the same place and not make any progress because your soul is split in two?"
Lin Tian argued, "The splitting of my soul only caused a decrease in soul power during cultivation. Once the soul power is replenished, will my cultivation speed return to normal?"
Harry said, "Do you think no one else has considered these things? How do you find treasures that restore soul power? These things have never appeared on the Mayan continent before."
"If it's not on the Mayan continent, then it must exist in the seven divine planes and the four supreme planes, right? We...we..." Lin Tian slowly fell silent under Harry's gaze.
Harry said earnestly, "Lin Tian, I know you have extremely high talent, but you must understand one thing: only a genius who grows up is a genius. If a person dies before realizing their talent, then even the highest talent is just a mirage."
Seeing Lin Tian remain silent with his head down, Harry said, "There's a question you need to understand. It's obvious that external godhood is offered to those with multiple talents in the laws, so who is internal godhood offered to? The rules of heaven and earth are fair." After saying that, he went to answer Potter's question, leaving Lin Tian to ponder on his own.
