The path to becoming a god.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhen’s heart couldn’t help but pound violently a few times.
He immediately raised an eyebrow and asked doubtfully,
"You’re nothing more than a disembodied soul. How would you know the path to godhood? Why should I believe you? What proof do you have that this path you speak of even exists?"
"Hehehe, it seems you really weren’t guided to this Radiant Space by the people of the Hall of Radiance." Dale laughed.
"Why do you think people like us gather in the Radiant Space? Do you really think it’s just for some fleeting fame in the mortal world?"
"Perhaps for some, but a portion of those who enter the Radiant Space have the ultimate goal of becoming a god—a godlike existence in their own domains and their own worlds. Only then can they escape the limitations of a finite life and attain eternity."
"Therefore, within the Hall of Radiance, several people know the path to godhood, and I happen to be one of them."
After hearing this, Fang Zhen felt that what Dale said actually made some sense. He asked, "Alright then, tell me. What is this path to godhood like?"
"Do you really expect to get the path to godhood from me just like that, with empty words?" Dale’s tone was laced with dissatisfaction as she asked Fang Zhen, "Aren’t you going to make some kind of promise or gesture?"
"Heh, you’re the one who proposed the deal. And from the looks of it, you need this trade to get a new body far more than I do." Fang Zhen smiled faintly.
"It’s the way of the world: whoever has the greater need must make more concessions. You should understand that principle," Fang Zhen said.
"You want me to make a promise without letting me see the goods first? A nice thought," Dale scoffed upon hearing this.
But Dale didn’t press for a promise. She knew she had too few chips at the negotiating table and was clearly at a disadvantage.
Dale said, "It doesn’t matter if I tell you. After all, this is just a description of the path. The specific methods are what you’ll have to trade for."
"I’ll tell you the basic requirements for becoming a god."
"First, you need believers. Among them, you must have at least one hundred true worshipers and two thousand followers."
"These can’t be ordinary believers; they must be true worshipers. The one hundred true worshipers must be willing to sacrifice themselves for you at any moment."
"If you really can’t gather that many, you can substitute them with followers. Roughly twenty followers can substitute for one worshiper. However, there’s a condition: the number of worshipers cannot drop below fifty. That is the absolute minimum requirement."
"Second, you must perform an epic feat. This feat needs to be known by the majority of people, leaving your legend behind in the mortal world." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"As for what constitutes an epic feat, that’s rather vague. It depends on what kind of world you’re in."
"Furthermore, your own power must reach a certain threshold. You must at least surpass the Extraordinary and reach the Hero tier."
"And if you want to become a god, merely having Hero-tier abilities is not enough. You need at least one ability to reach the threshold of the Sacred, while your other abilities cannot be lower than the Hero tier."
"Then, you must have an unshakeable resolve to become a god. You must have faced a mortal enemy whose power was no less than your own. You are also required to be mentally mature, of sound Spirit, and to have already chosen your own Divine Domain."
"The final point is that you must complete a special ritual, during which you must cast at least one level 9 Magic spell."
"And ninety percent of your followers and worshipers must offer up their souls to upgrade your soul into that of a god. Only then will you be qualified to step into your Divine Domain."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhen’s eyes lit up slightly.
Listening to Dale, it didn’t sound like she was just spouting nonsense.
Dale had laid out the requirements clearly, one by one. ’It seems this soul, Dale, actually possesses some useful information.’
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "And what happens after becoming a god?"
Dale’s voice replied, "After becoming a god, you can wield powerful Magic that mortals could never control. At the same time, you will have immense influence within your own Divine Domain."
"Gods are also unaffected by the laws of nature, making them the closest beings to immortality."
"Furthermore, a god can never be truly killed—at most, they will only fall into a deep slumber. There are many other benefits besides these, but those are things for the distant future. It won’t be too late to ask once you’ve reached the threshold."
Upon hearing this, a divine light gleamed in Fang Zhen’s eyes.
His previous goal had been to transcend the ordinary and become a saint, to leave the state of a common person and reach another realm of existence.
And now, Fang Zhen’s basic stats had already reached the level of transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint—and had even surpassed it.
Having come this far, he had now unexpectedly obtained the path to godhood. It was as if a straight road to the heavens had appeared before him. If he chose not to take it, it would feel like something was missing.
Just then, Dale’s voice sounded again.
"I know some methods that can help you become a god. Telling you the path merely clears the fog from the road ahead, but as for the specific ’how,’ there are concrete methods for that."
"If you can promise me you’ll find a new body for me, then I am willing to sign a soul contract with you and share everything I know."
Fang Zhen thought for a moment. He didn’t rush to agree or refuse, but instead asked, "You said you don’t want someone else’s body, but you want one that can practice Martial Arts. Where am I supposed to find something like that?"
