Huo Yuhao temporarily paused his comprehension and focused on the image in his mind.
It was the scene of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction merging to resist the spacetime turbulence.
"Tang Wulin also saw this kind of scene. Was it because the clashing of auras triggered the memories contained in the energy? Or was there divine consciousness power within this energy, allowing such images to manifest?"
Huo Yuhao looked thoughtful.
Regardless of the case, aura and energy had played an important role.
If that was the case, he seemed to have thought of a Shady Trick.
Huo Yuhao took out the Vast Sea Universe Cover and injected spirit power into it.
With the insertion of azure energy, the Life and Destruction energy seemed to reveal more information. Under Huo Yuhao's operation, a Light Screen unfolded in the underground space.
One image after another flashed before him and the old demons. The main characters were two figures, one fleeing, one pursue.
None of the seven old demons recognized the pursuing figure, but his body was covered in dense black purple energy. His identity was obvious. It was the God of Destruction.
But the fleeing figure they did recognize. After all, their academy had statues of this one.
It was.
"The Sea God ancestor?"
"Ancestor Tang San?"
The old demons were bewildered.
What had they seen? The God of Destruction was beating up the Sea God ancestor?
Their Sea God ancestor, in the divine realm, was originally the weak party, the one on the receiving end of a beating?
In the light screen, the scene was horrifying. The God of Destruction used his Destruction Scepter, wrapped in black purple lightning that could annihilate stars. With a single strike, he actually blasted Tang San to one knee. The Asura Sword was inserted diagonally into the void, humming in sorrow. Much of the divine light around Tang San had scattered. Golden divine blood seemed to drip from the corner of his mouth. His aura was clearly chaotic and weak.
The God of Destruction stood above, his Destruction pressure like a prison, as if reading out an unquestionable verdict.
The scene ended there. But the shocking sight of the "Sea God Kneeling" was already Branded into the depths of the seven old demons' souls. They felt as if something inside them had Shattered with a crack.
So, the Sea God ancestor they had believed in for ten thousand years, regarded as the highest glory, was not omnipotent even in the divine realm. He would also face powerful opponents, and would also have such "humiliating" moments.
Huo Yuhao watched Tang San being beaten by Destruction, watched the old demons become depressed yet again, and a pleased smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sigh. It might be the influence of the place's name.
As the "new master" of Devil Island, he had also become a "devil."
After confirming that the aura of divine weapons might resonate with the Life and Destruction energy, triggering some historical images, Huo Yuhao also tried his other divine weapons.
Unfortunately, aside from the Vast Sea Universe Cover, his other divine weapons could not do this. Not even the third class god divine weapon from the divine realm.
"Perhaps it must be an item related to a deity whose power had come into contact with the God of Destruction's power during the Divine Realm War."
Huo Yuhao thought of a guess.
The images triggered by the convergence of Life and Destruction energy were of Life and Destruction merging to resist the spacetime turbulence. The contact between the Sea God divine weapon and Destruction energy produced the scene of the Sea God being beaten by the God of Destruction. Clearly, there had to be contact with divine power for these fallen fragments to reveal this information when touching related items.
Some divine power fragments could only provide images to this extent.
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao shook his head, put away his spectator mentality, and continued his cultivation.
Compared to watching others beat Tang San, it was more satisfying to do it himself. To accomplish that, he needed sufficient strength.
Time passed bit by bit. Huo Yuhao once again immersed himself in comprehending Creative energy.
With his previous experience and a deeper understanding of the laws, his comprehension of Creation was not slow.
Another month later, as his spirit power reached level seventy four, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.
Because of the Creation fragment, the environment here was rich in heavenly and earthly origin energy, no worse than the specially made cultivation rooms of the Spirit Transmission Tower. Even just cultivating in the intervals of absorbing Life energy and comprehending the laws, his spirit power had increased by one level.
Savoring his insights from this period, Huo Yuhao turned his hand over. A piece of Spirit Forged metal appeared in his palm. He mobilized the laws and injected a stream of green energy into it.
As time passed, a faint consciousness arose from
the Spirit Forged metal. It had given birth to the intelligence that only Soul Forging could produce.
"Alternative Soul Forging?"
Desire Old Demon, who had been secretly watching, widened his eyes. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.
Was Soul Forging not supposed to be hammered out one strike at a time? This was possible too?
Beside him, Destruction Old Demon was secretly astonished.
He roughly understood. This one was using the power of laws to forcibly grant intelligence to the Spirit Forged metal.
And having intelligence was clearly an important dividing line for life. By granting the metal intelligence and giving it a soul representing consciousness, Huo Yuhao had already comprehended Creative power to a certain degree.
Huo Yuhao looked at the metal in his hand, then turned his gaze back to the Creation fragment.
From the Creation abilities of the Creator God and the Phoenix God King, Creation was not simply "creating life." It was closer to an ultimate law of "creating all things," "defining existence," and "bringing something from nothing."
Although with his current comprehension, he could not achieve the latter, the fragment before him had not reached that level either.
"I might be able to try accommodating it."
Confirming that he could not advance further in a short time, Huo Yuhao, through the soul contract, gathered the seven old demons who were scattered around, still immersed in various complex emotions, to his side.
Seven aged soul shadows quickly gathered, standing at attention, waiting for instructions.
"Next, I will try to accommodate this origin fragment."
Huo Yuhao looked at the seven. "You are responsible for mobilizing all the Life energy you can here. When I come into contact with this fragment, construct the most stable Life barrier to isolate external interference. And when I need it, provide the purest Life energy replenishment."
"Yes." The seven old demons responded woodenly, their emotions completely flat. One could say they had already gotten used to Huo Yuhao's commands.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, giving himself a final check, and took out the Gold of Life from his Sea of Spirit.
If an accident occurred, he could use the Gold of Life's internal space accident to accommodate this Creative power.
Everything was ready.
Huo Yuhao began to mobilize the laws, gradually absorbing this Creation fragment.
"It has been three months already."
Gu Yuena looked at Snow Empress. "How is Yuhao doing now?"
Through the Reverse Scale, she knew he was not in danger. But as for the specifics, because he was using the Reverse Scale, she could not see.
Yes, she could use spatial laws to see the situation of the Reverse Scale's holder. But she usually did not do that kind of peeking.
"Devil Island is the remnant of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction's power. The core fragments can be considered divine power fragments. Comprehending and absorbing their power takes a considerable amount of time."
Snow Empress looked out the window, as if gazing in the direction of Devil Island. "But you do not need to worry. Whether facing the Goddess of Life's power or the God of Destruction's power, he is prepared. At most, in another three months, he will return."
"Divine power."
Gu Yuena, hearing Snow Empress's reassurance, noticed those two words. "Is Yuhao trying to?"
Snow Empress smiled slightly. "After all, this is a rare physical reference."
On Devil Island, the seven old demons faithfully performed their duties while looking at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross legged.
The Creation fragment had disappeared at some point. Huo Yuhao's spirit power had directly reached level seventy seven.
But this was not what shocked them most. What shocked them most was the wisp of aura lingering around Huo Yuhao.
"Could this be divine power, the kind only deities possess?"
Seeing the wisp of green radiance in Huo Yuhao's palm, Destruction Old Demon's brows twitched. Despair filled his heart.
Oh no. This Fire God reincarnation was recovering better and better. They would never be free from being Soul Servants in this life.
The joys and sorrows of people were not the same.
Compared to the despairing seven old demons, Huo Yuhao, looking at the green radiance in his palm and feeling the oppressive force of this power, was filled with excitement.
Although it was only a thread of divine power condensed with the help of the Creation fragment's power, the breakthrough from zero to one was always the most important.
If before he had only had about sixty percent confidence in sublimating his spirit power into divine power when reclaiming his "past life's Dao Fruit," now he had nine eighty percent confidence.
After all, he had personally experienced how divine power was constituted and how spirit power evolved into divine power.
Once his cultivation and accumulation reached a certain level, he could achieve this through today's insights.
At that time, he could even do what the Blazing Emperor h
ad done, transforming divine power before even becoming a god.
"This trip was worth it."
Huo Yuhao exhaled. After calming down, he looked inward and examined the Creation fragment that had been incorporated into his body.
The absorption had been unexpectedly smooth. He had thought the Creation fragment would emit pressure and show some resistance, since he was not the Goddess of Life.
But once he actually began absorbing it, he realized he had overlooked two things. The Life Force and Star Power within the Eye of Life. These two powers from the God-Imprint Throne had assisted him in absorbing the Creative power.
"Can Creative power replace natural force to a certain extent?"
Huo Yuhao thought of the third symbolic power remaining in the God-Imprint Throne and had a guess.
Because Creative power could replace natural force, Star Power and Life Force wanted to pull it into the Eye of Life to complete it. This had made absorbing the Creative power much simpler for him.
However, after absorbing the Creative power, he did not send it into his Sea of Spirit. He only absorbed it into his body.
After all, he would eventually obtain natural force. There was no need to "waste" it.
"The question now is whether to let one of my martial souls accommodate this Creative power."
Huo Yuhao fell into thought.
This Creative power was extremely high in essence, coming from a God King. Integrating it into a martial soul would undoubtedly improve the martial soul's quality. Moreover, integrating it into one martial soul would make it easier for him to condense a divine persona with that martial soul in the future.
Yes, a divine persona.
He had previously discussed many questions about divine personas with Gu Yuena.
Because of Douluo's martial soul system, when condensing a divine persona and divine seat, one usually used the martial soul as the vessel. This could be seen clearly from Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Sea God divine seat and his Clear Sky Hammer Asura God divine seat twenty thousand years ago.
A deity's divine persona represented the deity's Authority. It was also the prerequisite for achieving a divine seat.
For example, the Sea God divine persona represented the Sea God's Authority over the power of the ocean. The first generation Sea God had used this to achieve the Dao, which was why he was the Sea God.
The reason a divine seat could directly enhance a person's strength, even helping one directly advance to first class god or God King, was that the divine seat recorded the most core Authority of the previous deity's divine persona, as well as the most core understanding and improvement process of the heavenly and earthly laws.
It was similar to an Empowerment, allowing the later inheritor's understanding of the laws to approach the predecessor's. Although it did not directly enhance strength, with such Empowerment and the predecessor's cultivation experience, relying on the divine realm's Immortal Energy, it would be strange if one could not enhance to that level.
And according to Gu Yuena, condensing a divine persona not only helped condensing a divine seat but also significantly helped enhance strength, especially when mobilizing the corresponding laws.
For For example, a Sea God without a divine persona would obviously find it more difficult to mobilize the power of the ocean.
Tang San said, "..."
When mentioning divine personas, Gu Yuena also mentioned the difference between the divine realm's subordinate Authority and the Origin of the Universe's Authority.
Taking the Dragon God as an example, his core Authority was Creation and Destruction, which were Origin of the Universe powers. His other Authorities, such as earth, wind, water, and fire, were subordinate to the Divine Dragon Realm, which was the Douluo Divine Realm. (This was mentioned briefly in Soul Land IV.)
These two types of Authority were different.
The former was the Origin of the Universe. There was no limit to those who comprehended it. Wherever one went, there was the blessing of the laws, because the universe was always there. The latter was the Authority opened after the Dragon God became a God King and created the divine realm. It existed because of the divine realm.
Without the divine realm as a platform, it would be very difficult for divine level experts to unite corresponding divine personas for attributes like earth and wind. Their understanding of the laws would be limited to their own plane. Perhaps due to the universality of the laws, it would not be apparent in battle.
But if one wanted to condense the corresponding divine persona and receive the blessing of the corresponding laws in all planes, that was clearly impossible. It was as absurd as a Plane Lord wanting to use another plane's planar power.
And with the divine realm, even if the Sea God was a deity who had come from the Douluo Continent, he could receive blessing in all planes subordinate to the Douluo Divine Realm. He could even receive the favor of the ocean in those planes that had no divine realm above them.
Tang San said, "Can't you use a different example?"
Gu Yuena's explanation of divine personas made Huo Yuhao think of a question.
Perhaps the reason Tang San said that divine level experts from the divine realm were stronger than those born in a semi divine realm was mainly due to these divine personas? After all, saying it was directly the influence of the divine seat was hard to understand. But if it was because of the blessing of the law involved in those divine personas, it was much easier to understand.
And this also gave rise to the question of divine seats.
Huo Yuhao had thought about divine seats for a long time and did not plan to gather multiple divine seats.
After all, he was different from Tang San. Tang San had inherited two divine seats. He had to do it himself. Scattering the power he had comprehended across multiple divine seats would obviously be a weakening.
The Dragon God only had one divine seat. Was he weaker than Tang San? Just look at how Tang San was beaten by Old Gold.
However, although Huo Yuhao only planned to have one divine seat, he might condense multiple divine personas like the Dragon God.
Now that the divine realm was absent, it was very difficult to condense divine personas not involving the Origin of the Universe's laws. But he was involved in quite a few Origins of the Universe, was he not?
Reincarnation, Creation, Destruction. He might not yet be at the level of condensing a divine persona, but he clearly already had a path forward.
What Huo Yuhao hesitated about was which divine personas to Reincarnation. Should he focus on Reincarnation and choose either Creation or Destruction?
Or.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao finally made up his mind.
Although the Netherworld Domain had transformed into his spiritual domain, the Reincarnation Domain, do not forget that the Netherworld Domain had originally been transformed from his third martial soul. It could also serve as a vessel for a divine persona.
Three martial souls, three Origins of the Universe. Faced with this Coincidence, he planned to be a little greedy. He wanted all three.
Using Reincarnation to unify everything, with Creation and Destruction as supplements, condensing three divine personas. This was the path he had chosen after becoming a god.
