At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Alright, your worries are over. Now it's time for you to truly step into the god-level. You've felt it, haven't you?"

The 'Stairway to Godhood' is now complete. Whenever someone walking on this path touches upon a level related to the realm of the gods, the path ahead will appear, which is the staircase on the 'Stairway to Godhood'.

According to the superhuman classification system jointly developed by the Xia Kingdom and the Roman Catholic Church.

Contact with anything related to the realm of gods is the sixth level.

Sixth stage: Communicate with the World Tree and comprehend the 'Divine Wisdom' that resonates with you from the World Tree. The Divine Wisdom will gradually transform your elemental power into a higher level of energy and gradually help you understand the rules. In the Teyvat continent, this step is equivalent to becoming a Liyue Immortal.

Seventh stage: Understanding the rules and ultimately condensing fragments of the rules. These fragments can gather on their own, or they can be obtained through the worship, faith, and wishes of the people, or they can grow from fragments in the eyes of the gods. This step is called 'demigod' by Luo Sheng.

Eighth stage: Condensing the divine core, successfully preparing a container for the birth of subsequent authority, and truly releasing the power of the fragments of rules. This step is called 'quasi-god' by Luo Sheng. At this stage, one has truly possessed god-level power, lacking only authority.

Ninth stage: Gathering complete power, formally ascending the divine throne, and being conferred a godhood.

The divine stage.

The 'divine core' is constantly upgraded. Each upgrade of the divine core transforms the flesh and blood body into a divine body and gradually unleashes the power of authority.

E-level Divine Core: Ascend to the first tier of godhood, unleash 5% to 10% of your powers, and can accommodate one basic power. The divine body and powers undergo synchronous transformation.

D-level Divine Core: Second stage of godhood, 20% of power is released, and it can accommodate two basic powers.

C-level Divine Core: Ascends to the third stage of godhood, unlocks 40% of its power, and can accommodate four basic powers.

Grade B Divine Core: Fourth Stage of Godhood, 60% of power is released, and it can accommodate eight basic powers.

Grade A Divine Core: Fifth level of Godhood, 80% of powers are released, and it can accommodate sixteen basic powers.

EX-level Divine Core: Sixth level of Godhood, capable of containing the power of a main god, it is no different from a true god or main god, a breakthrough level.

Once an A-level divine core reaches its limit, the divine body has completed its transformation and can officially merge its powers with itself to become the embodiment of the rules, a true god. However, since it only possesses basic powers, it can only become a 'true god'.

If one reaches the EX-level divine core and obtains god-level authority, then one will become a 'god'.

Although a high-level divine core can contain so many powers, it is impossible for an ascended god to actually possess that many. Without special instruction from the Saint of Los Angeles, obtaining two or three powers would be the absolute maximum.

Currently, apart from Los Santos, the strongest being on Earth is Buyer, a top-tier god. Fucarus has just entered the realm of gods, and Quetzal will also advance to a top-tier god after completing the transformation of his divine body.

The second-highest level of true god is Raiden Shin, whose power is only the basic power of lightning element.

Among those who have ascended to godhood, the strongest is undoubtedly Quetzal, followed by Ereshkigal. Ereshkigal has already reached rank A due to obtaining the divine core of the 'Mistress of the Underworld'. Once her divine body completes its transformation, she will officially become a true god. Next is Ishtar, who is at the 'fourth rank of godhood'. Once her divine core is upgraded once more, she will be able to begin her ascension to true godhood.

Below the level of gods, Jeanne d'Arc, Artoria, White Moon Queen, and Mythos have all obtained their ranks and possess fragments of power in advance, making them demigods of the seventh tier. Although Artoria wielding the Sword of Excalibur is beyond her capabilities and is even stronger than the main god in certain situations, she is still a demigod in normal circumstances.

Bai Yuekui looked at Luo Sheng and nodded: "Yes, I felt it a few days ago. I have already been able to begin condensing my divine core and starting the process of becoming a god."

Luo Sheng sighed: "Condensing a divine core requires understanding it. Even a genius scientist like you would need at least a year. I can't wait that long. After all, Tiamat is coming soon, and every high-end combatant we have is a valuable asset."

It takes ordinary holders of the Eye of God at least a dozen years to condense a divine core, and for holders of the Holy Mark, it can take even longer, up to a hundred years, before they can even comprehend a single aspect of the divine core.

After all, this is the true 'realm of the gods,' and taking the most important step on the ladder to godhood is even more difficult than understanding the rules.

However, time is not so valuable to those who have reached the sixth rank or above. Those at the sixth rank have at least several thousand years of lifespan, similar to the Liyue Immortals of Teyvat.

Even fifth-tier superhumans have a lifespan of several hundred years. Fifth tier is a threshold; fourth-tier superhumans have a maximum lifespan of a hundred years or so, and those below fourth tier have a normal human lifespan.

If he were to learn from Teyvat's laws and do something like 'wear and tear', he could shorten the lifespan of a superhuman.

"Artoria, Jeanne, you two come here too, let's help you condense your divine cores."

As soon as Los Saint finished speaking, a golden light appeared beside him, and Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc emerged from it.

They had been beside Los Saint the whole time, but they didn't want the people of Dragonbone Village to see them, so they went into spirit form.

"My lord."

"Master."

Jeanne and Artoria both looked very happy, not because they were about to become god-level heroic spirits, but because they felt that becoming stronger would allow them to help Los Santos more.

"Now everyone is holding hands." Los Saint stretched out his hands.

Joan of Arc and Artoria held his left and right hands, as well as Bai Yuekui's left and right hands, and the four of them held hands and formed a circle.

"It has begun," Luo Sheng said softly, his eyes instantly turning gold.

hum~

A golden ring slowly emerged from behind him, engraved with ever-changing patterns. These patterns were incomprehensible, but even ordinary people could understand them instantly.

This is the 'Ladder to Godhood', which records the Earth's system of becoming a god; all the secrets of the entire path to godhood are contained here.

The 'Stairway to Godhood' detached from behind him and surrounded the four of them, while omnipotent divine power spread from him into the three of them.

Their consciousness was already immersed in the changes in their bodies.

All they saw was golden light converging at a single point in the boundless darkness, and then that point of light exploded like a cosmic singularity.

Multicolored light illuminated the entire dark world, followed by countless shards of glass that moved along mysterious trajectories.

After an unknown period of time, it finally coalesced into an incredibly complex geometric crystal, with fragments of power encased within it.

The moment the geometric crystal formed, the fragments of power burst forth with dazzling light.

Previously, they could only barely use the power of the rules, but now they can control it at will. At the same time, they can feel their will is transforming, and their aura has also acquired attributes similar to divine power.

The condensation of the divine core was very fast, and it was over in just a few minutes.

However, for them, who were immersed in the changes of the condensed divine core, it seemed that a long time had passed.

The 'ladder to godhood' surrounding them slowly rose and shrank back to appear behind Los Saint.

Artoria regained consciousness first, slowly opened her eyes, and savored the changes in her body and the power of rules she could freely control within it, saying, "This is... the Divine Core, how amazing."

Bai Yuekui also came to her senses, her eyes filled with a desire to explore: "An E-level divine core, once it condenses true power, will officially ascend to godhood." For her, exploring the process of becoming a god only required following the steps, so there was no urgency.

For her, gaining greater power meant re-establishing the direction and level of her research; many things required immense strength to qualify her for research.

“My lord, I can help you in many more ways now.” Joan of Arc looked at Los Saint gently and said, her cheeks slightly flushed. She held Los Saint’s hand, and held it for so long. It had been a long time since she last held his hand.

Los Saint released Joan of Arc and Artoria's hands and said with some regret, "If your bodies weren't unable to withstand it, I would have wanted to directly condense the highest level of divine cores for you."

The divine core also puts a burden on the physical body. The divine core must transform a portion of the physical body into a divine body in order to continue upgrading the divine core; otherwise, the body will collapse.

"Next, you need to continue to consolidate your complete power. Your power is not yet complete on Earth, so you can only rely on yourselves."

The faith and desires of those who believe in them will gradually compensate for their powers, but this process is very slow.

“That’s enough, Master. We can’t expect you to prepare everything for us; otherwise, we’ll lose our purpose,” Artoria said earnestly. “We want to help you, not for you to help us.”

"Haha." Luo Sheng laughed at Artoria's serious expression, then flicked his finger and tapped her forehead.

"Ouch!" Artoria quickly covered her forehead.

“It’s about helping each other, you idiot,” Luo Sheng laughed.

“Okay, it’s about helping each other,” Artoria said, touching her forehead as she changed her mind.

drip-drip-drip-

At this moment, a voice came from Bai Yuekui, and the three of them looked over.

"What's wrong?" Luo Sheng asked.

Bai Yuekui quickly took out a device the size of a mobile phone from his clothes, his eyes lighting up.

"Login in progress!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng instantly understood what he meant, his eyes widening slightly: "The spacecraft have already begun landing on the moon?"

Bai Yuekui nodded: "Yes, the launcher has completed its lunar orbit and is currently landing."

"That's great!" Luo Sheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get excited.

Chapter 116: On the Moon, Is Lightning Truly Divine Punishment?

"You've solved a big problem for me, Bai Yuekui, hahaha." Luo Sheng patted Bai Yuekui on the shoulder happily.

Not long ago, he thought that Earth's ability to bear power was still quite good, but he did not expect that with the 'Declaration of the Great God' and the fall of Quetzalcoatl and the other two gods, Earth's bearing capacity was reduced by more than half.

This caused him some anxiety, worrying that if he eventually subdued Tiamat, he wouldn't be able to localize her.

In his plan, once Tiamat's self-awareness is awakened, her powers can be absorbed by the Earth if she so chooses to, erasing her connection to the Type-Moon world. In this way, the inevitable link between her and the evil of humanity in the Type-Moon world will be severed.

Once this relationship is severed, there's no need to worry about Tiamat's self-awareness being replaced by human evil again.

"I'm glad I could help you." Bai Yuekui didn't know why Luo Sheng was so happy about just landing on the moon. Even without her, Luo Sheng could have reached the moon instantly.

Luo Sheng smiled without saying a word. He would not let anyone know about the Earth's carrying capacity or the fact that he, as the source, had a radiation range. This was one of the secrets of his identity as 'Tianli'.

This isn't about distrust, but rather about preventing dangers from outside the world. Who knows if there might be some extraordinary beings who can interpret other people's information and find the weaknesses in this world?

With a thought, the Anywhere Door appeared out of thin air in front of Luo Sheng. A spatial barrier enveloped the Anywhere Door. The environment on the moon is in a vacuum of space. Opening the door rashly would cause Earth's air to be sucked in and destroy the simulated ecosystem. This place was carefully taken care of by Mai Duo. If it were destroyed, she would cry.

Crunch!

The portal opened, and the air inside the spatial wall was instantly sucked into the portal. Bai Yuekui felt suffocated for a moment, her expression changed slightly, and she instantly adjusted her physical state. She was already a quasi-god, and her body had already transcended the dimension of ordinary carbon-based life. Even without oxygen, food, or water, it had no effect on her.

The circulation of energy within her body is enough to keep her body at its most vibrant.

The world on the other side of the Anywhere Door was clearly divided into two parts: the upper part was completely black, while the lower part was a faintly glowing grayish-white.

The black area represents the cosmos, while the area below is the lunar surface directly exposed to sunlight. Due to the intense ultraviolet radiation from the sunlight shining directly on the ground, the starlight from outer space is barely perceptible.

Los Saint stepped onto the lunar surface, his shoes sinking slightly. The lunar soil was not hard, but rather grayish-white sand.

Next to the Anywhere Door was a lunar rover with a robotic arm holding a cute-looking key, which Los Santos then took off.

"It's both cold and hot, what a strange feeling." Los Saint looked up at the direction of the sun. A blue planet and the dazzling sun were side by side. At this moment, the moon was on the dark side of the earth, and the city lights on the dark side could be vaguely seen like fireflies.

The vacuum of space is very cold, at around minus 200 degrees Celsius, but the direct ultraviolet radiation from the sun heats up the matter, resulting in a feeling of both cold and hot.

“The gravity is very low.” Luo Sheng jumped lightly, his whole body flying straight up into the sky, leaping more than thirty meters.

The moon's diameter is only one-quarter that of Earth, its mass is only one-eighty-first that of Earth, and its gravity is one-sixth that of Earth.

The moon's core has long since cooled down and will not experience earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or electromagnetic fields like those on Earth.

Although Earth appears close when viewed from the Moon, it is actually incredibly far away, enough to accommodate the other planets of the solar system side by side.

Bai Yuekui, Jeanne d'Arc, and Artoria also set foot on the moon, looking towards Earth with awe.

Although they had seen it on videos and through telescopes, none of them had ever actually stood on the moon, not even Bai Yuekui, who came from a near-future world.

Joan of Arc's eyes shone as she looked at the Earth in her line of sight: "Is this what it looks like to see Earth from the Moon? It's truly magnificent."
