As preparations were made to enter the Divine Hall, a graceful figure swept out, her appearance and stature both exemplary, like a celestial maiden drifting in.
"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
The woman's tone was courteous, mingled with astonishment.
Ye Yu inquired, "Do you know me?"
"Yes, I know of your matters with the Goddess of Creation in the Human Realm."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
At this moment, numerous graceful figures swept in, all ethereal like angels, totaling several hundred figures, not exuding an aggressive aura but rather showing respect.
"We greet the God of Apocalypse."
These gods were subordinates of the God of Creation.
They already knew that the Destruction Divine Hall had been destroyed, and were deeply shocked by the sheer power of the God of Apocalypse, far beyond their imagination. Although the God of Destruction was absent, their God of Creation was also not present. Both were equally matched, each not infringing on the other, yet now the formidable force of the God of Destruction no longer existed.
"Let's talk inside," the Divine Maiden nodded slightly, gesturing invitingly.
Ye Yu entered the Divine Hall of Creation, led by the foremost Divine Maiden.
"Has she already gone to the World Above the Gods?"
"Yes."
"How does one go to the World Above the Gods? Must it be through reincarnation?"
"For a Divine Mansion to reach the World Above the Gods, reincarnation is required to acquire the power of reincarnation, which then allows the breaking of space in the Upper Divine Realm to tunnel to the World Above the Gods. A Second-level God needs nine lives in nine worlds, a First-level God needs three lives in three worlds, while an Ultimate Divine Mansion requires just one life cycle. It has always been this way."
"But perhaps for you, a full cycle of reincarnation might not be necessary."
"Oh?" Ye Yu wondered.
"There are a few powerful Primordial Gods who do not need to undergo reincarnation. They can forcibly break through the Upper Divine Realm space by their own might, creating a passage to the World Above the Gods. Such gods, bearing Power of Origin, are among the topmost of the three thousand origins."
"The Origin of Destruction and Origin of Creation are not considered top of the three thousand origins, hence no matter the cultivation, it's impossible to break the Upper Divine Space at the level of Divine Emperor. Therefore, the God of Creation underwent a cycle of reincarnation on Douluo Continent."
"Reincarnation comprises a Perfect Reincarnation, though the chances are small. A Perfect Reincarnation means starting anew, a new life that can still become a god, achieving a Perfect Reincarnation. Thus, upon reaching the World Above the Gods, the realm will not be the lowest. If it's not a Perfect Reincarnation, the realm would be the lowest in the Holy Realm."
Regarding the World Above the Gods, Ye Yu knew little, and the Divine Maiden before him had surely lived a long, long time, certainly knowing a great deal.
"The World Above the Gods is the Holy Realm, divided into five realms: Saint, Holy King, Saint Emperor, Saint Emperor, and Saint Venerable. Each realm has four levels: basic, intermediate, advanced, peak. A Perfect Reincarnation, upon reaching the Holy Realm, is at least intermediate Saint."
Ye Yu arrived at the Upper Divine Realm, aware of the power levels in the Divine Realm; the Lower Divine Realm levels need no mentioning: the Upper Divine Realm starts at Heavenly King, followed by Divine Emperor, Divine Emperor, Divine Venerable. Likewise, each realm has four levels.
Now, his realm is Heavenly King, but his combat power far exceeds that of a Heavenly King, as if to easily defeat the God of Destruction, a hundred times stronger than the God of Destruction.
Thus, the Realm God King, Ye Yu possesses combat power exceeding to rival a basic Divine Emperor.
The Divine Maiden was astonished: "I can vaguely sense the fluctuations of your power; even I, at the pinnacle of Divine Emperor, can only vaguely sense it, proving your strength akin to a Divine Emperor; it's truly unbelievable. With your terrifying exceeding combat power now, reaching the peak of Divine Venerable, you can break the spatial tunnel on your own without reincarnation."
"Moreover, even if you reach the Holy Realm, it's not ordinary. There's a saying in the Holy Realm: below the Saint, like ants, but I feel that when you reach the peak of Divine Venerable, you might even surpass that frightening realm and kill a Saint. If you become a Saint, how terrifying that would be, unimaginable."
"Though the God of Creation is the embodiment of Origin of Creation, upon reaching the Holy Realm, she isn't top-notch, as there are many origins above creation. She isn't a Perfect Reincarnation either, so I'm very worried and also hope you can go to the Holy Realm. But even if the God of Creation cultivates from Heavenly King to Divine Venerable, it took one hundred thousand years. In Divine Realm time, one day is one year in Human Realm, according to Human Realm time, that's thirty-six million years."
"You are only twenty-one years old, yet your strength is such, your aptitude so terrifying, even with the densest divine power cultivating in the Destruction Divine Hall, it will likely still require ten thousand years in Divine Realm time."
Ye Yu's eyes flashed with determination: "No need for ten thousand years, when I reach Divine Emperor, I'll give it a try."
The Divine Maiden's eyes widened, extremely amazed: "Most Primordial Gods at the peak of Divine Venerable can't break the spatial tunnel, needing reincarnation, yet you plan to try when at the Divine Emperor level? This... this..."
Ye Yu chuckled: "Do you think it's impossible?"
The Divine Maiden thought this, that Ye Yu was very terrifying, his potential far superior to the Goddess of Creation, but it indeed seemed impossible.
Ye Yu stated, "For me, there is no impossibility."
The Divine Maiden said, "By the way, one more thing, every universe's strongest Primordial Gods can aid Divine Manors. When humans accept the heritage of a Divine Mansion, slightly aiding them to become gods without impacting their growth could grant them divine power."
"Oh? Is that so. I see."
Soon after, Ye Yu departed, internally saying: "It appears that when they undergo heritage of Divine Mansion, I should check it out. For now, I should first visit the Destruction Divine Hall to see how dense the divine power is."
After becoming a god, Ye Yu knew it truly is a new beginning, and he mustn't halt his stride but strive towards even stronger realms.
The World Above the Gods must be visited, not solely due to the God of Creation but also to avenge the greatest foe, the slaying of the God of Destruction.
Arriving at the Destruction Divine Hall, Ye Yu sensed the divine power, indeed far denser, like five times more than the other two regions!
With a fivefold increase in cultivation speed, coupled with his embodiment as the Origin of Evil, the cultivation speed would be even swifter.
"Ultimate Divine Mansion reaching the peak of Divine Venerable must undergo a full cycle of reincarnation to break the spatial tunnel to the World Above the Gods? Then I aim to accomplish this, reaching the peak of Divine Emperor, breaking the spatial tunnel without reincarnation!"
After that, Ye Yu began cultivation, initially not planning on long-term seclusion.
Three days passed, Ye Yu's strength grew stronger, his level long surpassed ninety-eight, already at the Hundred Level.
Here, the density of divine power expedited his cultivation pace greatly.
"Coming to the Divine Realm, more than three days have passed; in the Human Realm that's over three years, Mubai and the others should be nearing level ninety-nine, preparing to begin the heritage of Divine Mansion. Then, I shall return to Douluo Continent to have a look."
As a god, one cannot interfere with the Human Realm; even for a Primordial God like the God of Destruction, meddling would demand a heavy price. But Ye Yu interfering with the Human Realm requires no price and can freely go there.
Yet, upon reaching the World Above the Gods, Ye Yu knew he would, however, be unable to meddle with the Human Realm.
His figure vanished from the Destruction Divine Hall, Ye Yu returned again to Douluo Continent.
