Chapter 102: Bi Ji Ascends to Godhood
A point of platinum radiance at Lei Chen's fingertip, like the gentlest star in the night sky, drifted lightly and imprinted itself upon Bi Ji's smooth forehead.
In that instant, Bi Ji felt as if a tiny pebble had been dropped into the depths of her consciousness, rippling out circles of cool, refreshing waves. An indescribable clarity surged into her mind. It was not complex or obscure scripture or incantations, but an extremely subtle and unique method for minutely adjusting the vibrational frequency of her own spiritual power.
This method itself did not contain great power; its function was singular and pure—like a specially crafted key, designed specifically to unlock the perception of that gateway leading to the Power Of Faith.
Bi Ji understood immediately and did not dare delay. She immediately followed this newfound clarity and began to carefully adjust her own vast, ocean-like spiritual power.
As a top-tier Soul Beast nearing six hundred thousand years of age, her spiritual power had long been tempered to an incredibly refined state. Although it had not yet transformed into divine sense, it had reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm, controlled with the ease of moving one's own arm.
At first, everything around her remained normal. The misty vapors of the Lake of Life, the majestic vitality of the Golden Ancient Tree, and the unfathomable pressure emanating from the Plane Master were all clearly discernible.
But the very moment she adjusted the frequency of her spiritual power to a specific node—
"Hum!"
A faint hum, seeming to originate from the depths of her soul, sounded. Bi Ji's "vision" underwent a dramatic transformation!
It was no longer the material world visible to the naked eye, but a bizarre and kaleidoscopic sea of energy composed of countless minute emotions and thoughts.
She "saw" them—countless, dust-fine specks of energy emitting a soft, pale golden halo. Like iron filings drawn to a magnet, they converged from all directions of the void, swirling around her body, layer upon layer, vast as a sea, making her appear like a divine statue worshipped by multitudes!
This was the Power Of Faith! Truly and undeniably presented within her perception!
However, rushing in alongside this magnificent spectacle was a tsunami-like torrent of vast and chaotic thoughts.
Each of those pale golden specks seemed like a miniature world, carrying a fragment of sincere emotion:
The pure, unadulterated gratitude of a weak Soul Beast she had saved from the brink of death after severe injury;
The heartfelt respect of a powerful Soul Beast she had healed after it was wounded in conflict;
The profound thanks from allied soldiers she had pulled back from the gates of death during the recent brutal planar war;
And even more, the hazy reverence naturally emanating from countless beings within the Star Dou Great Forest, simply because they knew of her existence, knew that this forest had a benevolent guardian, and thus felt a sense of peace...
Respect, gratitude, dependence, blessings... All manner of positive emotions surged like breached riverbanks, wildly assailing Bi Ji's mind and spirit.
It was as if, in this single moment, she could hear the whispers, shouts, cries, and laughter of thousands of beings by her ears... The sheer volume of information nearly overwhelmed her consciousness.
Despite Bi Ji's incredibly resilient spiritual power, under the impact of this sudden deluge acting directly upon the depths of her soul, she couldn't help but sway slightly. Her eyes showed a momentary flicker of daze and distraction, as if lost in this ocean of sentient thoughts.
But she was, after all, an existence with nearly six hundred thousand years of cultivation. The tenacity of her will far surpassed imagination. After a brief period of being lost, her powerful spiritual power instinctively fortified her core consciousness, standing firm like a pillar amidst the torrent, forcefully steadying her mind within the frenzy of thoughts.
She began to try not to resist, but instead, with an attitude of tolerate and gentleness, to understand and accept these reflections born from her countless acts of kindness.
After a few breaths, clarity returned to Bi Ji's eyes, even deeper and more translucent than before.
She had completely adapted to this peculiar state of perception. No longer disturbed by the chaotic thoughts, she could now clearly "see" that swirling around her was a vast, pure sea of pale golden energy, radiating warmth and the breath of life.
She slowly raised a slender hand. With a slight movement of her will, a wisp of pale golden Power Of Faith, like a docile spirit, drifted lightly to settle in her palm, swirling faintly and emitting a soothing halo.
"So... this is the Power Of Faith..."
Cradling this wisp of faith in her hand, Bi Ji's exquisitely beautiful face revealed a complex, inscrutable expression of emotion as she murmured softly.
She finally understood that her well-intentioned acts over the long ages past, following her true heart, were not in vain. Unbeknownst to her, they had already paved a path to a higher realm.
Seeing Bi Ji adapt to and master the perception of the Power Of Faith so swiftly, the approval in Lei Chen's eyes grew stronger. He gave a slight nod and continued speaking:
"Very good. To withstand the impact of the sentient thoughts and coexist peacefully with them so quickly proves your Spiritual fortitude and foundation are indeed solid enough. Since you can now perceive it, the next step is to utilize this power to forge your own God Position."
Hearing the words "forge your own God Position," Bi Ji's spirit lifted. She immediately gathered her focus, gently sending the Power Of Faith in her palm back into the sea of light surrounding her. Then, facing Lei Chen, she bowed with utmost reverence. "Please enlighten me, Plane Master. What must Bi Ji do to forge a God Position with this Power Of Faith?"
Lei Chen's voice was calm and filled with authority as he explained:
"A God Position is the recognition and vessel for authority over a Law, the foundation of a deity's existence. Forging a God Position has no fixed method; it is more a matter of resonance and sublimation when conditions are ripe."
"What you need to do is to completely open your Spiritual Sea and your Dantian soul core. Guide the Power Of Faith gathered around you to resonate with your soul and your Life Origin at the deepest level."
He paused briefly, ensuring Bi Ji fully understood, then continued:
"Do not worry. This process is not a forced infusion, but a natural attraction and fusion. As long as your own foundation meets the standard, and the accumulated Power Of Faith is sufficiently pure and vast, then during this resonance, your life level will naturally undergo an evolution. Your own God Position will also be conceived and take form within this resonance."
Upon hearing this, understanding dawned in Bi Ji's heart.
Regarding foundation, as an Emerald Swan, she possessed the world's top-tier healing Soul Beast bloodline, with an affinity for the Law of Life that could be called supreme. Her accumulation of nearly six hundred thousand years of cultivation was profoundly deep.
She had heard Di Tian mention before that in ancient times, when Soul Beasts could freely ascend to godhood, those with the most supreme bloodlines often only needed two to three hundred thousand years of cultivation to become gods. Her foundation was more than sufficient.
As for the Power Of Faith, the vast, sea-like expanse of pale golden light before her, both in purity and total amount, clearly also met the requirements.
All conditions were in place, lacking only this final step of resonance.
Bi Ji hesitated no longer. A flash of determination and resolve passed through her emerald-like eyes. She bowed deeply to Lei Chen once more. "Bi Ji understands. Thank you, Plane Master, for showing me the way."
With these words, Bi Ji slowly closed her eyes, completely relaxing her body and mind.
First, she fully released control over her Spiritual Sea. That vast, ocean-like spiritual power was no longer guarded, as if she had thrown open the gates. Immediately after, the soul core deep within her Dantian, which condensed her lifelong cultivation, also ceased its usual rotation. It withdrew all radiance, presenting itself in its most original, most open state.
In the next moment, using her own will as a guide, she carefully directed the immense sea of pale golden faith surrounding her to slowly converge towards herself.
As if sensing that kindred life aura and the unreservedly open posture, the Power Of Faith instantly became active. Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, carrying warm, life-filled undulations, it began to gently permeate her Spiritual Sea, envelop her Dantian soul core, and produce a wondrous resonance with every inch of her flesh and blood, every wisp of her soul...
A sacred ceremony concerning the evolution of life quietly commenced at the heart of the Lake of Life.
