Chapter 316: The First Lesson (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiu Han briefly mentioned the mutants and the subversives.

He continued, Youre a Tribulation Transcendent yourself and have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in this generations Heaven Ascension Stairs. However

At this point, Jiu Han hesitated for a moment but did not say the rest.

Anyway, the day the Heaven Ascension Stairs open may take a few years, so dont dwell on it for now, Jiu Han told Lu Ming.

Lu Ming nodded, saying, 1 understand, Teacher.

This time, he truly understood something.

If there had not been the previous discussion about the gardener, flowers, and plants, Lu Ming might not have fully grasped the meaning in Jiu Hans words.

However, after Jiu Hans description, Lu Ming vaguely realized something.

As a G.o.d, there might be drawbacks

Just like Jiu Han, who was already at the Divine Spirit Realm, his use of metaphors like the backyard, gardener, flowers and plants was intriguing.

Seeing Lu Mings solemn expression, Jiu Han nodded in satisfaction and said, Its good that you understand.

So the best path for you is actually the second path.

Become a mutant! Become a malevolent plant that can kill the gardener and consume the gardener!

With me here, you dont need to worry about anyone prematurely suppressing you. I will protect you thoroughly.

Then the problem is: how to become a mutant and how to transform into a malevolent plant!

Mutation was uncontrollable.

Becoming a mutant requires a series of fortunate coincidences!

However, theres actually one path that is stable and reliable.

That is the path of Blood Patterns.

The legend of the Beast King was widely circulated in the Black Mist Zone.

Like Zero, Jiu Han had carefully studied the legend of the Beast King.

It can be confirmed that the Beast King does possess power equal to or even surpa.s.sing that of G.o.ds, but its not a G.o.d.

Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the source of the Beast Kings power lies in blood patterns!

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, Are the blood patterns that powerful?

Jiu Han nodded and said, Very powerful, the strength of the blood pattern far exceeds the gold patterns and silver patterns.

But, compared to the Divine Source, its still far inferior However, the Beast King has many blood patterns, and based on my calculations, when 9999 blood patterns are combined, they can probably possess the power to rival G.o.ds. The Beast King should have even more blood patterns than that.

Lu Ming,???

Does it really require that many?

Of course it has to be so much, Jiu Han said affirmatively. Actually, you can simplify it by understanding the divine source as a form of energy. The only issue is that the intensity and density of this energy is incredibly high!

If you cant achieve G.o.dhood, theres no way you can match G.o.ds in terms of energy density. The only way to resist them is to win with quant.i.ty.

The path the Beast King takes is the path of winning with quant.i.ty!

And this is the only controllable way to achieve the status of a mutant, comparable to G.o.ds, with a mortal body!

Lu Ming fell into silence.

9,999 blood patterns

At this moment, Lu Ming did not have a single blood pattern.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming asked, According to Teachers calculations, how long will it take me to obtain 9,999 blood patterns?

Jiu Han shook his head, 1 dont know but its probably not a short time. Perhaps when you reach the limit of your lifespan, you wont be able to reach the level of the Beast King.

Lu Ming immediately felt his breath hitch.

He had thought that comparing himself, a mortal, to the G.o.ds would be very difficult.

But he had not expected it to be this challenging.

Jiu Han continued, After seeing your talent and level of effort, 1 did want to guide you in this direction.Even if you cant reach the heights of the Beast King, its always good to cultivate more blood patterns.

But today I suddenly changed my mind.

Jiu Han paused slightly and continued, It seems like we have a better option.

Lu Ming asked, What option?

Divine Source!

Seeing Lu Mings somewhat astonished face, Jiu Han directly stated, To be honest, whether achieving G.o.dhood is a blessing or a curse is still up for debate, but it has nothing to do with the Divine Source!

As I mentioned earlier, the essence of the Divine Source is just a form of high-level energy, and energy doesnt have a good or bad side.

Your unique ability is that you can absorb the Divine Source.

Although 1 dont know where the Divine Source you absorbed goes, if you can find out where it goes, and harness and utilize it then you will become an extraordinary G.o.d with divine power, even if you havent officially ascended to the Heaven Ascension Stairs!

With that said, Jiu Han chuckled self-deprecatingly, Dont think that the Divine Realm is all that awesome.

The difference between the Ancient Realm and the Divine Spirit lies solely in the Divine Source!

Even more so, when we achieve G.o.dhood, our physical state is completely fixed, and there is no further room for growth.

If we can fulfill my vision, not only will you have divine power, but you will also have the potential for unlimited growth!

If you can walk this path successfully, it will be an unprecedented path to heaven that only belongs to you!

Jiu Hans words left Lu Ming stunned once again.

Wait a moment, Teacher, you mentioned that achieving G.o.dhood fixes the physical state

Jiu Han nodded directly, You heard correctly!

At the moment of ascending to the Heaven Ascension Stairs, and undergoing the transformation to the Divine Source, this transformation will completely solidify the power of the G.o.ds and eliminate any possibility of further advancement!

In other words, G.o.ds dont have the potential for growth!

How strong you are at the moment of ascending to Heaven Ascension Stairs will be how strong youll remain after achieving G.o.dhood, with the only difference being the strength of the Divine Source.

Of course, this was not a problem for most G.o.ds.

Divine Source could crush everything. Why would I need physical strength? Why would I need gold, silver, and blood patterns?

There was no need for these

However, this was hard for Lu Ming to accept.

He loved cultivation, the feeling of continuous growth and becoming stronger

Therefore, upon hearing this news, Lu Mings emotions were in turmoil, and he did not know what to think.

Jiu Han continued,

This is why you have three choices now.

First, the path to achieving G.o.dhood. With your talent, I believe that on the day you ascend to the Heaven Ascension Stairs, no one will be your match.

With Lu Mings talent, it was not guaranteed, but it was highly likely that he would achieve G.o.dhood.

However, as Jiu Han mentioned earlier, there were drawbacks to this path the inability to continue growing and the possibility of constraints.

The benefits were that it was simple, fast, and efficient, with a one-step ascension to the heavens!

Second, the Blood Patterns Path.

The advantage was stability, but the disadvantage was slow progress.

Third, the unknown path we research together.

This path was entirely unknown, and it was difficult to predict its pros and cons.

Whether it would succeed was still uncertain.

The potential effects of absorbing large amounts of the Divine Source on Lu Ming were also unknown.

But 1 can actually pursue all three paths simultaneously, Lu Ming thought for a moment and replied, On the day when the Heaven Ascension Stairs open, 1 will consider whether to partic.i.p.ate. But I certainly cant interrupt my cultivation.

During my cultivation, Teacher and 1 can research this unknown third path. Once we have some results, we can discuss it.

The three paths were not necessarily conflicting. At the very least, they could be carried out at the same time in the early stages.

Jiu Han was also surprised by Lu Mings unique character and did not expect this for a moment. At this moment, after Lu Ming finished speaking, Jiu Han thought for a moment and nodded immediately, That sounds good..
