Without saying much, Kong Mingan's mind stirred, and through their held hands, he once again activated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Gu Yue paused slightly, feeling countless core cultivation details regarding the "Spell Cultivator" path flow into her mind like a clear and orderly trickling stream. In particular, the construction principles within the "Stairway to Divinity" regarding the current "Star Ring," "Godhead," and "Divine Kingdom" were revealed without the slightest concealment. Gu Yue's eyes flickered, but she suddenly noticed something was wrong. Although this guy's Energy was still pouring into her body during this Martial Soul Fusion Skill state, it was far gentler than before. It lacked that paralyzing impact that used to make her legs so weak she couldn't even stand. So... this guy was definitely doing it on purpose before!
The Dragon King Young Miss, her mind wandering with such thoughts, turned to look at Kong Mingan. He simply held her hand gently and explained slowly, "The creation of a 'Divine Kingdom' is essentially building a special plane that belongs solely to you. The most basic materials are various spatial fragments or relatively complete small, fragmented planes like this one. After selecting a space, a cultivator needs to use their own spirit power to nurture it bit by bit, allowing the spirit power to gradually integrate into the space and enhance the connection and resonance between the two. The deeper the integration and the higher the compatibility, the easier the Fusion process of the 'Divine Kingdom' becomes. After Fusion, the power the 'Divine Kingdom' can exert is also greater. Of course, the 'Divine Kingdom' is not fixed after Fusion; it can continue to evolve afterward, such as by continuously finding, refining, and integrating more spatial and planar fragments..."
As the research into the System deepened, the divisions of the "Stairway to Divinity" became clearer than the previous vagueness. Now, within the "Stairway to Divinity," the "Star Ring" at the first stage is a tool for climbing, a process of accumulating and purifying power. During this process, once one's spirit power transforms into "Divine Soul Power," their combat strength is considered to have reached the level of a Divinity—but it is only combat strength. It is only after condensing a "Godhead" in the second stage that it marks a leap in the essence of life and a true entry into the Divine RankDomain. A cultivator who reaches this step can roughly be compared to a Third-Class God of the traditional God Realm.
Only after condensing a "Godhead" and undergoing a leap in life level can a cultivator begin the creation and Fusion of a "Divine Kingdom," using their own will and power to shape and merge with an exclusive plane that belongs only to them. The body becomes the plane, and the plane becomes the body.
According to his deductions, with nine "Star Rings" completed, a stable "Godhead," and the successful Fusion of an exclusive "Divine Kingdom," a cultivator will firmly step into the level of a Second-Tier Deity. This level refers to the level of life, not combat power.
Currently, the Snow Empress is undergoing this final step. While condensing her remaining "Star Rings," she is continuously integrating her Divine Soul Power into a plane he prepared for her that has already undergone preliminary refining. Once the Snow Empress has completed all nine "Star Rings" and merges with her "Divine Kingdom," she will be able to steadily ascend to the level of a Second-Tier Deity.
Kong Mingan looked at the Dragon King Young Miss beside him and continued, "I occasionally chat with the God of Destruction. He once told me about his classification of life levels, which I quite agree with. It's divided into four levels: Mortal, Divinity, God King, and above God King. There is a gulf in the essence of life between a Mortal and a Divinity that requires a qualitative Breakthrough. However, moving from a Third-Class God to a Second-Tier Deity, and then to a First-rank Deity, is mostly about the accumulation of divine force. While there are qualitative transformations, they aren't exaggerated. Even two Second-Rank Deities can exert the power of a First-rank Deity by using a divine soul fusion skill, showing that the gap isn't hard to cross. When your injuries hadn't healed, you roughly maintained the power of a Second-Tier Deity. Now that you're healed, although you're still at the state of a Second-Tier Deity, you shouldn't be far from being a First-rank Deity. Once your cultivation transition is complete and you have a 'Divine Kingdom,' it's unlikely you'll become a God King immediately, but it shouldn't be too difficult to recover to the level of a First-rank Deity in one go."
Gu Yue listened intently, her eyes flickering slightly. This guy was saying quite a lot; although she memorized it all, she still didn't quite understand some parts. But... basically, after her cultivation transition, she could return to the strength of a First-rank Deity, right?
"Then I'll start now." The Dragon King Young Miss was a bit impatient.
Kong Mingan paused for a moment, finding her eager expression a bit strange, but he still nodded. "Mm, I'll watch from the side."
The Dragon King Young Miss nodded, and nine golden spirit rings rose from beneath her feet. However, in the next moment, the light of these rings began to fluctuate violently. Under Gu Yue's own will, the power of "Elements" quickly took over the spirit rings. The gold rapidly faded, turning into a pure and brilliant silver. Vast elemental power gathered around her. In the center of the nine silver spirit rings, solid, rotating silver spirit cores formed at an amazing speed. In an instant, nine miniature silver star-vortexes containing endless starlight rotated slowly; the "Star Rings" replaced the original spirit rings, hovering around her and emitting a profound aura. Completely different from traditional Divinities who relied on a God Position, as the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue's power stemmed entirely from her own Bloodline and Law mastery, not relying on any external God Position. If it were those Divinities who inherited God Positions, the transition process could never have been so smooth and rapid.
Following that, Gu Yue's body changed slightly, as if she had transformed into a pure elemental body, becoming somewhat illusory and indistinct. Then, at the location of her upper Dantian between her eyebrows, a point of ultimate silver light erupted. A complex, precise silver crystal containing her Origin will and Laws quickly took shape. Also within moments, a "Godhead" was completely formed. Thus, in just a mere ten minutes or so, the Dragon King Young Miss easily completed the first and second stages of the "Stairway to Divinity."
Gu Yue slowly opened her eyes. The silver flowing light of "Elements" within them withdrew, and her aura became gentle. She raised her hand, feeling the power whose nature hadn't changed but seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation. An unprecedented sense of comfort and control welled up in her heart, making her feel a bit of novelty.
Kong Mingan, watching from the side, understood this clearly. For Gu Yue, embarking on the "Stairway to Divinity" as a "Spell Cultivator" was equivalent to replacing the operating System and Energy management System of her already powerful hardware with a more efficient and advanced one. In short, the "Star Rings" increased the Dragon King Young Miss's mana capacity. Furthermore, because the "Star Rings" themselves possessed growth potential—Gu Yue had only just initially shaped them—the increase in mana capacity would continue to grow with ongoing nurturing and cultivation in the future. As for the "Godhead," it could be understood as an auxiliary operating System; tasks that might have previously required ten parts of her attention could now be easily accomplished with only three or four.
However, completing both the "Star Rings" and the "Godhead" in just over ten minutes... although it was understandable given her operating from a high vantage point, it was still somewhat ridiculous.
