What about the Sun God's magic mirror? As a former top-level God Equipment, it didn't really matter to me whether or not it had many wondrous uses.
That was because it was only one piece of the puzzle. What I needed was its material and effects.
The main material for my Dawn Holy Light sword was based on my design. Apart from all the random supplementary materials, the most important material was one main material and two functional components. The quality of their materials would directly affect the final power level of my sword.
Back in the Chaos Abyss, when the Devil Lords were constantly pressuring me, I forcefully created this sword. The main materials I chose were Roland's spear and Estrada's battle hammer, which the God of Holy Light had used when he was still an ordinary person.
Dawn was a Holy Equipment that represented the Day of Holy Light's descent. It represented the origin of Holy Light, and had the highest level of symbolism in a religion. That was why Dawn was the highest-level Holy Light Equipment.
The latter was a Holy Knight's inheritance. It was the symbol of the Holy Light's protection for humanity for thousands of years. As the main material, this Dawn Holy Light sword had an unbreakable tenacity. It had the most important tenacity and hardness of any weapon. Also, it was the best combination for Holy Light.
Not just one main material was good enough. Myth-ranked weapons were usually made from rare treasures or special items. The design didn't have any specific requirements on the material to begin with. There were only requirements on the material's abilities. It would be fine as long as the design's functionality was met.
As for the last two functional components, one was used to scatter light and purify pure Holy Light, just like a lighthouse. The other was used to gather light and use highly focused Holy Light to kill enemies, just like a laser.
Originally, I had intended to use these two components to complete these two functions. However, Sun God Aloyo gave me a great gift.
The Concept of the Sun itself was a light source that scattered light. Meanwhile, a mirror was a magician of light. Depending on the shape, design, and angle, a mirror would either gather or scatter light.
When the two met, my two functional needs were satisfied at the same time.
My Dawn Holy Light sword disintegrated in midair. Aloyo's mirror transformed into liquid mercury and merged with my Dawn Holy Light sword.
While creating the sword, I sat down cross-legged and meditated.
Holy Light shone down from my Dawn Holy Light sword. I bathed in Holy Light.
Stepping into the Demigod Stage wasn't just a matter of crafting an Epic Weapon.
Creating a Myth-ranked weapon was only a method. The powerful characteristics and combat strength were only secondary. His true goal was to use a Myth-ranked weapon as an extension and supplement for his physical body, making up for the natural deficiencies of humans, elves, and other humanoid creatures.
Humans were like a cup. The path of growth would be filled with water. By the time one reached the Myth rank, the cup would already be full. The limitations of one's race would limit one's development. In that case, one would either have to change to a larger vessel, which would be equivalent to changing one's race and physical body. This would be equivalent to starting all over again.
Alternatively, a small opening would be made on the side of the cup, allowing the water to flow out and be stored in a backup container. This was the foundational theory for Myth-ranked weapons to achieve breakthroughs.
The Great Dao was the simplest. It sounded easy, but it was harder than ascending to the heavens.
This is equivalent to making up for your innate defects.
That new Myth-ranked weapon would need to be a part of you. That way, you wouldn't waste the buff. Also, you couldn't take too small of a step. Otherwise, it wouldn't be effective, and it would be meaningless.
This was the equivalent of having an additional functional organ grow out of a human's physical body. Using this as an opportunity, you broke through the limits that the Creator Goddess had set for you.
This was also the origin of the names "SemiGod" and "Level Surpassers". Once you took this step, you would no longer be an ordinary person. You would surpass your limits and become undying.
That's right, SemiGod's lifespan would be greatly increased. Even if you didn't make any preparations to extend your lifespan, your lifespan would still be increased by several times. As long as you weren't in a hurry to die, you wouldn't need to worry about your lifespan.
However, in order to develop a new path, just strengthening your Myth-ranked weapon wouldn't be enough. During this process, your physical body would also need to evolve and change in order to adapt to the "new organ". Only then would you be able to evolve both your physical body and your Myth-ranked weapon.
It could be said that this step was the most important step, as well as the most difficult step. How well you took this step would directly affect your future development limits.
Some people would waste several hundred years at the Myth rank in order to take the final step well. In the end, either you didn't have enough resources, or there was a problem with your design, so you were still barely able to take the final step.
Some people wouldn't even reach the Myth rank for several hundred years before breaking through to the Myth rank and achieving amazing results.
Some people would bitterly struggle for several hundred years before finally breaking through to the Myth rank and achieving limitless potential.
Some people would lose the possibility of reaching the heavens from the very start due to their past flaws and detours. The most pitiful of all would be the tremendous difference between an Undead Emperor and a Myth-ranked Undead Emperor.
However, the great majority of so-called "Level Surpassers" would only barely be able to reach the Myth rank. They would be satisfied if they could reach the Myth rank. It would be far too extravagant to begin with.
Every Myth-ranked weapon would be different. Everyone's path to becoming a Level Surpasser would be different as well. In that case, everyone's future paths would naturally be different as well.
Before becoming a Level Surpasser, one could still rely on the experiences of their predecessors. They could also slowly imitate their predecessors' experiences.
The path after becoming a Level Surpasser would be as wide as the ocean. There would be no guidance from seniors, nor would there be any restrictions from past experiences. There would be no restrictions at all. Being able to reach such a level would depend entirely on one's own abilities.
Holy Light formed a cycle between me and my Holy Light sword. A mysterious change was currently occurring.
I felt an itch on my back. Suddenly, a pair of golden wings appeared on my back without any restrictions. Even though I hadn't transformed into a War Angel yet, these wings had appeared on their own.
"Damn it, am I going to transform into a birdman?"
I was surprised, but my System gave me a timely message that helped me calm down.
It turned out that from the very start, the so-called War Angel transformation/Original Sin Demon transformation had only been a part of my physical body's bloodline, just like how an angel's bloodline would come with wings.
However, the power of my Arbiter bloodline was far too powerful. My physical body, which was far too weak, wasn't able to withstand it. My System had helped me separate my bloodline and turned it into a temporary transformation for me to use.
But now that I had become a Level Surpasser, my bloodline power had stabilized. Naturally, I would need to return it to my physical body.
"I won't transform into a birdman, will I …?"
However, I still had my doubts. I wouldn't be able to accept it if I really became a birdman.
[Do you really hate my Angel creation so much? Relax, it's just like how a tiger won't reveal its claws for no reason. It's possible to hide all of your Angel characteristics. It's just that you'll be able to obtain the additional power from transforming into an Angel, and your physical appearance will change slightly.]
I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard that I wouldn't become a birdman, so I got rid of my resistance and allowed these changes to happen automatically.
As Holy Light continuously flowed down my body, the originally hidden power of my bloodline was completely activated. Warmth flowed through my limbs and body, and I felt like my entire body was filled with endless power, yet I was unable to move.
The power of my Bloodline that came with my transformation ability was being broken down as a tremendous amount of Order power was truly transforming my physical body.
Angels were the most favored creatures of Order by the Goddess of Order. The power of Order that far surpassed that of Seraphim allowed my physical body to become purer and purer.
My arms were visibly becoming thicker, while the rocks under my feet were becoming smaller. There was only one possible explanation for such an abnormal transformation — my physical body was growing.
[Actually, even if you don't eat those fruits, you'll still be able to reach adulthood by now.]
Only now did I discover that this was probably a gift that my System had prepared long ago. However, it would only open up after I reached my current power level.
The result of the foundational power of Order entering my physical body was that my "vessel" was foundationally improving the quality of my physical body, establishing the best foundation for my future development.
However, that wasn't what I was worried about.
"I won't become even bigger than a Seraphim, will I …?"
When I thought about how a high-level Battle Angel's true body would be even more ridiculous than a giant's, I trembled even more. I didn't want to be like Little Red, needing to use transformation magic to walk around in the mortal world.
[Stop wasting my breath. Don't worry about me. At the very least, my sense of beauty is better than Cynthia's.]
A bizarrely shaped demon flashed past my eyes, along with a rotten flesh incarnation. Stronger than Cynthia … this was truly a low standard.
But soon, I didn't have the time to chat. I had reached a critical moment in my power level advancement. Now, I could only wait for the result.
Judging from the Holy Light sword that was currently taking shape in the sky, the next time I woke up would be when I took that final step.
