The first obstacle for a Mana professional to become an Ancient God was how to reach out to the World's Origin, or the Gate of Truth. Of course, this wasn't something anyone could do. It required an extremely powerful spirit and a deep understanding of the Truth and the Origin.
The second difficulty was using one's physical body to withstand the backlash when the Origin was pried open.
The Origin was the origin of all matter and everything in this world. Its power wasn't offensive, but even if it leaked out naturally, it could still cause devastating damage to a person's body.
Therefore, those who believed in a God would usually give up their physical body and gather the power of faith to open the Gate of Truth. This itself required the Mana professional's spirit to reach a certain level.
Law Gods could reach the Origin with their spirit, but their physical bodies weren't up to the mark. Their method of becoming a God was also to give up their physical body and lock themselves with a certain Law of the world to prevent their souls from being damaged by the power of the Origin.
However, in recent times, Magicians had invented a method to temporarily seal the body and spirit, allowing many Law Gods to retain the possibility of becoming an Ancient God. This was more difficult than the normal path of becoming an Ancient God, but it still left some hope.
That was what Robert had done when she ascended to godhood. Li Mochen had personally sealed her body in the Mage Tower of the Village of Destiny, nourishing it with medicine and purifying it with Mana. He had even implanted a chip in Robert's body that could control the Blood Eyed Maid's body to undergo high-intensity training.
Finally, the Ancient Gods had reached the level where they could reach the Origin in both body and spirit.
At this moment, although Li Mochen had yet to enter the Legendary-realm in his profession, he had already met the requirements for both his spirit and physical fitness.
Under such circumstances, there was no need to continue on the path of Legendary or Demigod.
In fact, both Western Demigods and Eastern Loose Immortals were compromises made when cultivators and Mana professionals couldn't directly reach the Divine Realm. They broke down the realms that the Gods should have and obtained the power that belonged to them step by step.
Therefore, with a single thought from Li Mochen, he directly condensed divinity in his body and spirit, igniting the Divine Fire and attaining Divine Spark.
The so-called divinity was, in fact, the so-called Nascent Soul and Divine Soul in the East. It was a spiritual will that was refined, purified, condensed, and raised to the limits of mortals. It was also the key to opening the Gate of Truth.
'Godfire' was the product of the fusion of the Power of Origin and the soul energy of the Gods. They existed in the depths of the Gods' souls and 'burned' like flames, which was why they were named 'Godfire'.
The God of Faith and the God of Law usually used the 'Divine Fire' to collect the power of faith from their believers. This kind of power originated from the source and could refine and purify the impurities in the will of all living beings so that the gods could make them their own.
A large portion of the so-called 'divine power' was refined from this.
To describe it in more vivid terms, the Will of the Masses could be seen as coal, while the Divine Flame was a generator, with the latter producing electricity, which was also energy.
As for the Divine Spark, it was essentially a spiritual imprint that the Gods had imprinted into the Origin. The deeper the imprint went into the Origin, the higher the level of the Divine Spark. Spiritual imprints were not eternal. They would be eroded by the power of time and origin, gradually fading away. Therefore, every once in a while, the gods would need to provide a large amount of divine power for maintenance. The God of Faith would often degrade their Divine Spark due to a lack of divine power.
Furthermore, after the fall of a God, their spiritual imprint in the Origin would absorb the substance that originated from the Origin, eventually turning into the shape of a gem — — this was the origin of the Divine Spark Shard.
It must be mentioned that the so-called 'Demigods' did not have Divine Spark, and they had only completed the first two steps. However, they had yet to condense their Divine Spark. This also allowed their physical body to not be constantly battered by the power of the Origin.
But correspondingly, their physical body would also suffer a certain amount of damage, making it very difficult for them to advance further in the realm of Demigods. The power and Source Substance that originated from the Origin, and the magical energy that was filled with impurities and turbid air, could not fuse well in the human body, even if the former was the source and foundation of the latter.
As for the Divine Domain, it was something that only the God of Faith and the God of Law had. The Ancient Gods did not have such a thing, and they themselves represented a certain amount of the Origin, wielding the authority of the world.
Li Mochen could already feel that the inside of his body was like a volcano about to erupt. The magma inside was boiling, accumulating tremendous pressure.
However, it was still bearable for the time being. For a cultivator like him who intended to ascend to godhood, this was the reason why he tirelessly tempered his physical body. This body, which far surpassed that of a Demigod, had tremendous endurance, and could withstand the 'Source Force' and 'Source Substance' that gushed out from the Origin.
At the same time, his Qi and blood, his flesh and blood, his bones, his cells, and his genes were also undergoing drastic changes under the stimulation of the power of the Origin. Just like his current spirit, it was being reorganized, optimized, upgraded, and strengthened.
But Li Mochen did not care about that for now. He was focused on pushing his spirit and will deeper into the Origin, attempting to condense a higher level of Divine Spark.
According to the experience of the predecessors, when ascending to the Ancient God or Immortal Realm, the higher one's' Divine Spark 'was, the greater the benefits one's body and spirit would receive.
When people first communicated with the Origin, they would often be able to draw out the most Source Substance within the Origin, which was also the most beneficial to the soul and the body, and was more effective than any miracle medicine.
Therefore, at this time, even a little bit deeper into the Origin would be equivalent to ten years of bitter cultivation.
For this reason, even though many people had already reached the threshold of the Demigod Realm, they still suppressed their cultivation base and did not want to take the next step. They wanted to temper their spirit and body to perfection before they could step into the Demigod Realm. Awaken divinity, ignite the Divine Fire.
But Li Mochen had no choice. After Q-Sword Tao Ran's soul had merged with the original owner, his quantity had already exceeded that of a normal person. Now that he had been refined step by step by the Two Profound Transformation Technique. At this point, he had already exceeded the limits of what this world could accommodate.
If he did not directly ascend to the Ancient God level and entrusted the excess of his spirit and will into the Origin, then the Boundless Astral Realm would be his only destination. This world of light could no longer accommodate him.
Even in the Astral Realm, Li Mochen was also limited. It was like putting a giant bear's body into a cage that could only accommodate cats and dogs. Moreover, the radiance of the laws of light from the ten thousand stars would also contaminate Li Mochen's spirit, which had not yet reached the Origin.
Today's ascension was actually the result of having no other choice.
Without too many surprises, Li Mochen continued to push his spirit and will deeper into the Origin.
The first layer, the second layer, the third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer — — it was only at the fourth layer that Li Mochen finally felt resistance. But he still relied on his strong will and powerful spirit to form the spiritual imprint on the fifth layer and continued deeper.
During this time, his body was also on the verge of collapse under the impact of the Origin. But communicating with the Origin for the first time was indeed the best elixir, even better than the legendary Black Yellow Gas. Not only did it heal the injuries in his body, but it also strengthened his body further.
At the seventh layer, Li Mochen finally stopped. This meant that his Godhood was now at seven!
A few thousand years ago, there was a divine sage in ancient Greece called Prometheus. He roughly divided the Origin into twenty layers, which were the twenty levels of Godhood.
Among them, Level 1-4 were Lesser Gods, Level 5-8 were Intermediate Gods, Level 9-12 were Advanced Gods, Level 13-16 were Powerful Gods, Level 17-18 were Main Gods, and Level 19-20 were Divine Kings. Above Level 20 were the so-called Supreme Gods, or the Gods above Gods. And the God of Creation required even more Godhood and divine power.
Although this Prometheus, whose whereabouts were unknown and whether he was dead or alive, had yet to enter the ranks of Main Gods, his division of Godhood was still very accurate, and was recognized by the Gods and mages.
Li Mochen's Godhood was at seven, which meant that he already had the status of an Intermediate God. And even among the Intermediate Gods, he was one of the stronger ones.
And when this spiritual imprint stabilized, and Li Mochen realized that he could no longer rely on his own power to go deeper, he began to try to form a Divine Domain.
As mentioned before, a Divine Domain was something that only Gods of Laws and Gods of Faith had.
The 'Divine Order' of the God of Laws was the product of the combination of one's own spiritual will and a certain Law. As for the God of Faith, it was a condensation of the faith of all beings. Simply put, it was the belief that one wielded that Law and authority. Therefore, as long as there were enough believers to blow open the Door of Truth and leave a spiritual imprint behind the door, the 'Divine Order' would be established.
And now, Li Mochen was trying to create his first Divine Domain of Laws. Linking his spiritual will with 'fate' and combining it — this was his most fundamental power right now.
Destiny was all-encompassing. There was Anan Ke's destiny and inevitability; there was Hecate's three signs of opportunity; there was the Greek Goddesses of Destiny who spun, distributed, and retrieved Destiny; there was also the Norse Norton Goddesses who controlled the past, present, and future; and of course, there was luck and misfortune, as well as Moros' predestined fate.
Li Mochen's goal was everything about Destiny. Just like Anan Ke, he controlled all Destiny, Destiny, Destiny, Opportunity, and Heavenly Fate.
And just as he had predicted, the stronger one's power was, the better one's ability to control Destiny would be.
His seventh-rank Ancient God godhood, the Two Profound Transformation Art contained the constellations of Yin and Yang, Life and Death, Ice and Fire, Light and Darkness, and the five elements, as well as the strongest 'Positive and Negative'. All of these gave him enough power to influence and control fate.
In just ten minutes, Li Mochen's Divine Domain had been formed. At this time, a huge wave of Mana appeared around him. The dense Origin Power that he had drawn out from the Origin had turned into pure magical energy that surged in all directions, crashing into every corner of this world. At the same time, he was announcing to the world that a new 'God of Fate' had appeared in this world!
At the same time, his will was like a spider's web, extending into every aspect of Destiny in this world. At the same time, it probed into the depths of the Origin and connected with Destiny.
In just one breath's worth of time, Li Mochen received the feedback of Destiny.
Every substance in this world had their own destiny, from atoms and protons to teacups and wine utensils, humans and the dead. Even this world and this universe flowed in the long river known as' destiny 'and' time '.
Thus, in just three minutes and fifty seconds, Li Mochen's body was filled with Divine Power. And it was the purest kind, the kind that didn't need to be purified by Divine Fire.
Within the range that Li Mochen's will could reach, any phenomenon related to the Law of Destiny would be able to provide him with power.
With this, Li Mochen continued to push deeper into the depths of the Origin. Once again, he started from the first level, where he imprinted his mark as the Chief God of Destiny. In other words, his Godhood!
… This directly determined the amount of Divine Power he could extract from Destiny, as well as the upper limit!
And this time, Li Mochen pushed all the way to the ninth level of the Origin before he felt that he couldn't move an inch.
This was related to the level of Divine Power he controlled. In these seven years, even with the help of a divine artifact like the Divine Firmament Violet-Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune, Li Mochen's Divine Power of Destiny was only able to raise his Divine Power of Destiny to a very high level.
This was because he didn't understand enough about the Truth of Destiny and the Origin. It was also because he didn't have enough power.
It was only when he became an Ancient God that Li Mochen truly obtained a high level Divine Power of Destiny. Thus, he broke through the barrier of the ninth level of the Origin and condensed his Godhood here.
But Li Mochen wasn't satisfied. His expression changed slightly, and he took out a fist-sized sapphire. This was the so-called Stone of Miracles!
"Make a wish!"
Li Mochen's eyes glowed with a faint light, and an unusually large magic array appeared behind him: "With the Authority of Fate, I shall establish my position!"
At this moment, the Stone of Miracles immediately shattered into pieces. The Divine Firmament Violet-Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune that had already fused with Li Mochen's soul also lost nearly 150,000 strands of Divine Merit Light!
At this time, Li Mochen continued to go deeper into the Origin like a hot knife through butter. The tenth level, eleventh level, twelfth level, thirteenth level!
At this point, Li Mochen finally stopped and couldn't go any further.
At this time, outside the City of Atlanta, in the void around the Village of Destiny's Magic Tower, countless eyes that were spying on this place were filled with shock and astonishment.
Diana's avatar that was in a magic church in the suburbs of the City of Atlanta looked up in shock and stared at the Magic Tower again. After a long time, she murmured in disbelief, "Godhood 13. This is just the first step, and he's already reached this stage?"
