In the vast and boundless universe, there were innumerable material planes. Every star represented a material plane. Many of these material planes were inhabited by highly intelligent races. Profound Continent and the Abyss realm were but a drop in the ocean of material planes.
At some unknown point in time, some high-level beings learned how to utilize the energy that existed since the beginning of time. Through cultivation, they gradually gained incomparably terrifying strength. They transcended life and death, stood above the common people, and were known as' gods'.
A very small portion of these beings could utilize the elemental energies between heaven and earth, or had mastered some bizarre edictal mysteries. As they constantly cultivated and evolved, they walked far ahead of the common people and were admired and admired by all.
When one mastered any energy to the extreme, one could become a god. For example, the energies of fear, hatred, desire, and so on. As long as one studied and cultivated diligently, and mastered how to utilize the energy, one could possess miraculous powers and become a so-called 'god'.
In the vast and boundless universe, there were two kinds of fundamental energies that existed everywhere. They were the most concentrated in this vast material plane, and the gods who could master these two energies were the most powerful. One was the eight elemental energies of light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, water, lightning, and death. The other was the four edictal energies of fate, space, destruction, and life.
Elemental energies and edictal energies were present in every corner of the universe. As these two energies existed on most material planes, they were the most fundamental energies between heaven and earth. Therefore, those who cultivated in these two energies to become gods had limitless potential and were more powerful than those who cultivated in other energies.
Gods were also divided according to their abilities. They were divided into demigods, basegods, lowgods, midgods, highgods, overgods, and Creator Deities. Demigods could form a Body of Element and a Soul of Element, or a Body of Principle and a Soul of Principle. Only then would they be considered to have advanced to the basegod realm. The basegod's body and soul would become one with the elemental energies and laws of the world. They would possess even greater power than a demigod.
Crosius, Little Skull, the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race on Profound Continent, and the Saintess of the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light were all basegods – those who had fused their soul and body with the elemental energies.
Basegods were fundamental gods. In the eyes of ordinary people, these existences could be considered as true gods. However, in the eyes of gods of higher levels, basegods were not yet considered as true gods. Only by going one step further and gaining many believers would one be able to form a God's Domain and possess divine power. Only then would one be considered a true God.
Being worshipped, forming a God's Domain, and possessing God Power. These three conditions were the three elements needed to become a true God.
Among them, possessing divine energy was of the utmost importance. Only when a basegod became one with the elemental laws in his own domain and comprehended a certain abstruse realm of that domain and possessed divine energy could he be considered a true god. This was the most difficult part. No one could help him form divine power. He could only form divine power through his own understanding of the elements and the power of law.
Once he formed divine power, he would become even more adept at using that elemental power. At this time, he could organize a religion or similar organization to make many intelligent creatures worship him. Once the number of creatures worshiped him reached a certain level, those beliefs would form a special type of energy for him to use. Only by fusing the power of faith and divine power could he form a Divine Domain.
The improvement of divine power was the foundation of advancement. Generally speaking, it could be obtained through self-cultivation, direct absorption, or through the power of faith.
Among them, self-cultivation was the most time-consuming and less effective method. Direct absorption referred to killing a god of the same element and obtaining divine power of the same origin. This method was too dangerous. A single misstep could turn one into a prey. Another method was to obtain divine power from some natural and mystical creatures. This required extremely good luck, and the probability of obtaining divine power was even lower than hunting others.
Using faith to increase divine power was a rather laborious matter. However, it was a method favored by many gods. As long as the number of believers was large enough, the god could use the countless strands of power of faith to increase his divine power. Many a little makes a mickle, and one could obtain a significant improvement.
In addition, if the power of faith was strong enough, the Divine Domain would also grow stronger. If a god's Divine Domain was powerful enough, they could gain the upper hand in battle. Therefore, the power of faith was very useful.
The Church of Light, the Calamity Church, the Druidic Order, the Shrine of Ice, and even the dark elves and the forest trolls had their own believers. The gods that they believed in could obtain divine power through their faith. Therefore, the competition between churches for believers was also for the sake of substantial benefits.
Eight elemental energies and four edictal forces. Gods of all levels who cultivated in these twelve energies mostly obtained divine power through self-cultivation and the use of faith.
However, this wasn't absolute. Some gods could also use other methods to increase their divine power and the power of their domain.
For example, gods who cultivated in the elemental energy of death could obtain divine power through the deaths of others. Gods who cultivated in the edict of destruction could obtain divine power through the destruction of life. Gods who cultivated in the edict of life could also obtain divine power from planes full of vitality …
However, these methods would often threaten the interests of other gods. For example, the God of Death and Destruction could obtain divine power through death and destruction. In this way, the God of Life could not obtain power through the exuberant vitality of all living beings.
It was precisely for this reason that conflicts between gods were unavoidable in order to obtain greater power. For the sake of their own interests, they had been constantly fighting each other from the beginning until the end, and they had never stopped fighting for even a moment.
Just as Wolf of the Calamity Church had said, the Cemetery of Death was indeed not something from Profound Continent. The most important thing about the Cemetery of Death was the large-scale magical transportation matrix at its center. This transportation matrix indeed possessed the ability to transport between planes.
A mighty overgod cultivating in the energy of death joined forces with an overgod cultivating in the energy of destruction to spread death and destruction across every material plane and obtain even greater power from them. The Overgod of Life, on the other hand, joined forces with other gods who cultivated in the energy of destruction to stop them from spreading death and destruction across every material plane. Profound Continent was one such plane that was affected.
The Cemetery of Death was a passageway that two mighty overgods used to travel between material planes. Not only on Profound Continent, but on other material planes as well. Therefore, the two overgods would dispatch lesser gods to travel between those material planes and bring death and destruction to those material planes.
For a new material plane, they would establish a church and have the beings of that material plane worship them. As long as the beings worshiped them, they would protect them and obtain a steady stream of power of faith from them. However, if the beings on that material plane already had a god they worshiped, they would create death by destroying those beings so that their masters could obtain power from them.
Profound Continent was just a small material plane. Five thousand years ago, a great war involving all mighty existences took place on Profound Continent. The two overgods of death and destruction only sent a few lesser gods to participate in the war, which ultimately ended in failure. However, they also left behind the seed of evil known as the Calamity Church on Profound Continent. The gods of death and destruction who had evacuated from Profound Continent left behind the Cemetery of Death so that they could return in the future.
The skeletal staff was left behind by a midgod of death. That person was one of the leaders of that great war. He sealed a portion of his information in the skeletal staff and the Cemetery of Death, hoping that it would be of assistance to those who cultivated in the energy of death. In addition, the skeletal staff was also the key to opening the Cemetery of Death. He left the skeletal staff in order to develop the power of those who worshiped him on Profound Continent and obtain more power of faith from them.
However, the master of the skeletal staff also left a divine imprint in the Cemetery of Death and the skeletal staff. Once the new master obtained the skeletal staff or the power of the Cemetery of Death, the imprint would activate and make the new master worship them forever, allowing them to obtain more power of faith.
No wonder my soul had been disrupted twice in the cemetery of death. I'd even seen the shadow of a three thousand meter tall giant appear in my mind once, but I'd used my great willpower and the strength of demonic arts to resist it. That's why my soul hadn't been destroyed and I hadn't lost myself.
The tricolor skull. This skull with three eyes. After Han Shuo broke through the boundary, he obtained so much information. Such a vast future, a world beyond Han Shuo's imagination, slowly unfolded before Han Shuo's eyes. It was also from this moment onward that Han Shuo truly and clearly realized that within this vast universe, there were magnificent sceneries beyond his imagination.
For the first time, Han Shuo recognized the vastness of this vast universe. He understood the never-ending struggles between gods, as well as the immeasurably powerful existences.
After understanding these ins and outs, Han Shuo turned his gaze to the other two skulls. He pondered what kind of information the other two skulls contained. Could it be that they contained the mysteries of setting up the magical transportation matrix in the Cemetery of Death?
With this thought in mind, Han Shuo once again calmed his heart and attempted to use the same method to break through the boundary on the two skulls and the horn. However, Han Shuo felt that his mental strength hadn't reached such a powerful level yet. He was somewhat powerless against the secrets contained within these two skulls.
"Mister Han Shuo, is Mister Han Shuo here?" Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice passed through the matrix Han Shuo had set up and fell into Han Shuo's ears. Han Shuo could tell that it was the voice of Crosius' daughter. After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo decided that he wouldn't be able to learn more about the skeletal staff's secrets for the time being. He stood up and walked outside.
