Spirit Valley, in the Spirit King Cave.
Vigilante A and the Bodhisattva Spirit King sat face-to-face, steam rising from a piping hot pot of tea.
Having entrusted the Soul Array Calculator technology research to Yellow Dog Xue Ba, knowing the Scientific Academy for Vitality, they should be able to assemble enough personnel on board for this.
Fang Ning himself was only a third-rate programmer after all, although he understood the basic theories, when it comes to actually conduct research, notwithstanding asking questions, it was more than likely that he would fail.
Now, he had come to inquire about the path of ascending to godhood in the Upper Realm, more specifically, the path of becoming a God of Plagues.
“The path to godhood is to integrate the principles of one’s decisions.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King said blatantly.
He, too, did not wish to see the God of Plagues continue to do as he pleased in the Lower Realm.
In the past, he had been powerless, apart from cleaning up his mess, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
After all, the latter had always been a useful tool for the Saints to do their dirty work.
Some nations did not respect the Saints, but how unsightly would it have appeared for them to get their own hands dirty?
The best course of manner was to simply deliver an oracle, and have the God of Plagues and other gods of misfortune to bring forth a plague, a blight or a disaster to destroy said nations.
This kind of thing had been repeated countless times in history.
Because, as a wise Sage had once said, the biggest lesson that humans have learned from history is that humans do not learn from history.
Nevertheless, the majority of the affected were still innocent.
Many had never offended the Saints, but even they have not been spared from the hands of the Saints.
Evil gods like the God of Plagues could care less about the innocent who had no strong backings.
Upon hearing this, Vigilante A nodded, “It seems that the rule chosen by the God of Plagues was to integrate the old path of blight through the cellular level. Right now, he’s developing an all-purpose bacteria, so he should be starting off from this direction.”
“If that’s true, then he has really found the right way, he is an intelligent God after all. At the time, in the Upper Realm, there had been a Saint who tried to becloud the Heavenly Oracle, he had no opportunity to learn the real theory behind the spread of the blight, he only knew how to stimulate it using his Divine Powers. In this world, without the interference of the Saints, he could suddenly advance at a tremendous speed, quickly absorbing the knowledge and achievements of human civilization and finally discovering his true nature, that, coupled with his innate wickedness, he would surely cause great trouble in the future.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King had said, his voice filled with worry and unease.
Vigilante A immediately responded, “This is exactly why I have come to you, Bodhisattva, the path of the God of Evil, brings nothing but harm and endangers others; I will eliminate every single one of them, once and for all.”
“It is most fortunate that the Venerable One has such determination and willpower, I will certainly do all that I can to assist you.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King said, relieved.
The sins that an evil god could create were far greater than those of heterodox doctrines.
Now, even the eyes of the Venerable Dragon God had shifted from ordinary demons to the Upper Realm, which was admittedly quite admirable.
“Then, I would humbly ask that the Bodhisattva teach me the ways of becoming a God.” Vigilante A requested humbly.
“To anyone else, this would be harder than reaching for the skies; but for you, Venerable One, success is assured.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King gave a smiled wryly.
“Huh, what do you mean?”
“Oh, the Venerable One’s powers have already reached the required level, and neither do you lack the attributes, the Venerable One even has help from the Heaven and Earth; if the Venerable One wishes to become a God, that would be simply be pushing the boat along with the current. The true powers of a God may vary, the power of higher leveled Gods may overturn the sky and the earth, causing earthshaking chaos; but lower leveled Gods may only be able to overturn a lake or a pond. In fact, Lake-level Powerhouses already have the opportunity to become a God.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King disclosed.
“So that’s how it is.” Vigilante A exclaimed in realization.
While Sir System was blessed with exceptional advantages, and Fang Ning possessed great imagination skills, when it comes to these high order intel, they were both still lacking.
The Draconic Penitentiary prisoner they had captured knew little about these high order intel.
Neither could they extract the memory of the only avatar of the Golden Deity they had, much less force it to submit, after all, it was still an avatar of a God.
The other party had already taken preventive measures on this aspect, leaving Sir System with no other choice but to use it to create a talisman, though he still lacked some auxiliary materials.
Unlike the words he had spoken earlier, the Bodhisattva Spirit King’s tone took a different turn, “That said, there are advantages to both ascending to godhood sooner, and later alike. If one is able to accumulate enough experience, they’ll be able to reach a higher attribute; otherwise, they’ll be restrained by their God rank instead, unable to rank up. Different principles demand different levels of power. Simpler principles, such as water manipulation and controlling weather can be sufficed with Lake-level powers, and that would be more than enough to become a River God. Likewise, more complex principles such as lighting manipulation can only be achieved with Planet-level powers.”
“I see.” Vigilante A nodded.
“As for where should you begin, you should, in fact, start by mastering the principles, once you’re fully capable of controlling them, you’ll be able to use your own mythical powers to communicate with the Heavenly Axioms and gain its recognition, the recognition of the attribute of a God. Without the Heavenly Axioms’ recognition, even if one is fully able to control the corresponding principles, they would not be able to become a God; in the end, they’ll only be able to use the principles, but can never fully master it. This step may be difficult for all others, but to you, Venerable One, it is as easy as turning over one’s hand, because you have long been recognized by Heavenly Axiom.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King continued to explain.
“I see, I see.” Vigilante A kept on nodding.
Fang Ning could not stand to listen any longer and butted in unhappily, “Couldn’t you have educated yourself more? Repeating the same words over and over, don’t you feel that’s a little lame even for you?”
“You humans care so much about face. Anyway, what I meant to say was, it doesn’t matter what words you use, hurry up and go keep an eye on that sh*tty book and make sure he’s studying biology properly, stop messing around here.” Sir System said convincingly as he tried to get rid of Fang Ning.
“Fine, fine, I’ll go. Sooner or later you’ll encounter something you can’t understand.” Fang Ning mocked the System.
After explaining the key points of the way of ascending to godhood, the Bodhisattva Spirit King handed him a jade scroll.
“In this jade scroll, are the previous records of over dozens of gods and their path of ascension to godhood, complete with video footage that I’ve collected when I was in the Upper Realm. The Venerable One may refer a thing or two from it.”
“I see, you have my gratitude, Bodhisattva.” Vigilante A held out his hands to receive the scroll.
The Bodhisattva Spirit King only smiled lightly as he spoke, “The Venerable One need not be so formal with me, I’m just trying to do my part as well. It’s a pity that my powers are too weak to suppress these evil gods’ malicious deeds, I’m deeply ashamed.”
“Not at all, Bodhisattva is too hard on himself, for us humankind to have a God as kind as Bodhisattva in the Upper Realm, it is truly our blessing; otherwise, it would be even more difficult for us to get through this obstacle.” Vigilante A sincerely said.
For another while, the two continued to exchange banalities, until Vigilante A took his leave.
That’s when Fang Ning suddenly reminded, “Sir System, you came to visit the other party, drank the other’s tea, and even took home the secret of becoming a god from them, but why is it that you came empty-handed? ”
“Why do you care so much? Get out of here…” Sir System replied, shamelessly.
…
Morality City, Scientific Academy for Vitality.
After returning from the Bodhisattva Spirit King’s cave, Vigilante A headed came here right away and headed straight for the biology laboratory.
While Fang Ning had scored full marks for Biology back in earlier years of junior high, he could barely remember a thing now.
What he could remember were things like cells, genes, the theory of evolution, the DNA double helix; anything deeper than that, he had absolutely no recollection of, let alone being able to apply them in real life.
This was also the common phenomenon among the current domestic graduates, many of the knowledge they had learned was just for the sake of passing exams, once they were done with it, it was immediately thrown aside and forgotten, because ultimately the purpose of studying them was not for long-term use.
Now, he had finally realized the importance of that knowledge, which turned out to actually be the fundamentals of becoming a god!
