Chapter 1148 Special stories (2)
"The God Realm is the peak of cultivation, but it's actually much simpler than that. It's when one becomes the very personification of a law, that's what it means to step into the God Realm." The old man said in a calm voice.
When they heard this, they couldn't help knitting their brows.
It all seemed very simple, but they knew that it wasn't as simple as this.
As for how they became the personification of the law, they knew that it had to do with the world that was being created in their dantian. That world in their dantian seemed like it contained the law that they specialized in itself, which made it seem like they were becoming the law.
Since the God Realm was becoming the personification of a law, then it seemed likely that it was related to that world.
The old man had given them a moment to digest this, but seeing that they didn't say anything, he continued by saying, "As for how you become the personification of the law, that is by forcing the law completely under your command. Once you do that, you are the law and the law is you."
Once again, they knitted their brows even more when they heard this.
The way that the old man was explaining this almost made it seem like a puzzle instead of actually explaining anything to them.
The more that he 'explained', the more confused they became.
So in the end, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Can you put that in more simpler terms?"
The old man revealed a smile when he heard this before saying, "I'm already using the simplest terms possible. I don't think that I can make it any simpler."
Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile before saying, "Please pretend that I'm five years old and explain it to me that way."
The old man couldn't help looking taken aback when he heard this.
He looked at Lin Fan with a strange look after hearing this, but he gave a sigh and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try then."
The others also looked at Lin Fan with a strange look when they heard this since they had never heard this phrase before.
Lin Fan just kept that bitter smile on his face.
This was a popular phrase in his past life, but he was certain that no one would get this meme in this life.
After thinking for a bit, the old man said, "I'll put it as simply as possible. Once one reaches the God Realm, they become the law that they practice. They are the one representation of that law."
Seeing that they didn't say anything and just knitted their brows, the old man said, "I've already put it as simply as possible. I don't know of a way to make it even more simple."
But still no one said a thing in response to this.
So the old man just waited to see how they would react to this.
Finally, Lin Fan said in a slow voice, "So you're saying that once one reaches the God Realm, they are the only one that can reach the God Realm with that law?"
The old man was surprised to hear this kind of conclusion, but it was technically correct, so he just gave a slow nod.
When they saw this, all of them deeply knitted their brows again.
As they looked at each other, they could see the looks of understanding in each other's eyes. Or rather, Momonga, Yuki, and Angela saw the looks of understanding in each other's eyes.
Lin Fan hadn't been in the Ruler Realm for as long, so he didn't feel it as strongly as they did.
However, they knew that whenever they tried to reach the next realm, it was as if there was something that stopped them.
They had all reached the peak of the Ruler Realm for a long time now, so they should have been able to break through to the God Realm if everything was normal. But there was that thing that seemed to be stopping them from doing so.
And now they finally realized what it was.
It wasn't because they were lacking anything, it was because…it wasn't possible for them to reach the God Realm because of the limitations of this world.
Even if they wanted to reach the God Realm, because someone had reached it before them and had become the representation of that law, it was impossible for them to take that place…unless…
All of them had the same thought, but they didn't want to keep this thought in their mind.
Even though this was a cultivation world where fighting and killing was common, they didn't want to accept this truth since it would change the world too much. It would simply throw the world into chaos if this were to get out.
But Lin Fan wasn't as delicate as them and directly asked, "So do you need to kill a God Realm Expert with the same law to reach the God Realm?"
As soon as they heard this, they couldn't help glaring at him.
Lin Fan didn't back down as he looked at the old man, waiting for an answer.
The old man revealed a smile and casually said, "That does seem like the only option, doesn't it?" But then he said in a serious voice, "But if you think that God Realm Experts are that easy to kill."
As he said this, there was a powerful pressure that swept over them.
It was as if he wanted to, he could crush them with his pressure alone.
This was just his way of proving that God Realm Experts weren't that easy to kill.
That was right, they were God Realm Experts for a reason.
Because of the shocking news, Angela and the others had only focused on one thing instead of this fact.
Even if there were a thousand Ruler Realm Experts gathered, it was very unlikely that they would be able to do anything to a God Realm Expert.
So how did God Realm Experts appear in the first place?
Was it just that someone had reached the pinnacle of their law and then stopped the progression of everyone else with the same law?
Once there were enough God Realm Experts, was that it?
After all, God Realm Experts should be able to live forever as long as they didn't put themselves in any form of danger. They were in the God Realm and the personification of their laws, so as long as their laws existed in this world, they would never fade.
There were many questions that they had just because of this one thought.
However, once again, Lin Fan took the lead by asking, "So did this World of Gods close because they were afraid of people killing each other to allow new gods to appear?"
The old man shook his head with a faint smile at how blunt Lin Fan was, but he didn't seem to mind it.
He just calmly said, "That's not the reason…" But then seeing that Lin Fan was about to keep questioning him, he said, "I can't tell you the reason since it's not my job. As long as you keep going, you will get the answer that you want."
Lin Fan knitted his brows, but he didn't keep asking more questions since he knew that it would be pointless.
The look on the old man's face made it clear that he wouldn't tell him anything else.
Since that was the case, the only thing that he could do was continue to let the old man tell his story.
The old man saw that he wasn't going to ask another question, so he continued, "In the beginning, there was one person that reached the God Realm and he slowly taught the rest of us the way to reach it."
Once again, after hearing this, all of them knitted their brows.
But the old man said, "There's no need to ask me who that person is, you'll eventually find out if you keep following this path. For now, just calm down and listen to my story."
All of them knitted their brows even more when they heard this, but they didn't say a thing as they waited for the old man to finish his story.
The old man saw this and gave a simple nod before continuing, "Those of us that make up the pantheon now are those that received his guidance. However, that man has since disappeared from the World of Gods, so you won't be able to meet him even if you want."
It was as if he had already predicted their question and answered it before they could ask it.
So with that, he continued by saying, "Those of us that remained created the current system of living in cities. In the past, gods just lived wherever they wanted and the continent was like prehistoric times. But now that we've gathered people in cities, we've been able to slowly bring our culture up to the same level as the mortals down there."
With a sigh, he said, "That is the history of our World of Gods and what the God Realm is."
After hearing this, all of Lin Fan's group revealed very complicated looks.
They looked at the old man with that complicated look, as if they were trying to figure out just what he was doing by telling them this story.
But the old man had a calm look on his face as if he wasn't bothered by their gazes at all.
