The Sun was born from the Aurora, something Baiyu vaguely heard about before.
The original Sun here definitely does not refer to the solar body.
It is more of a substitute term.
But he was hearing the explanation about the Tidal World for the first time.
If the Dream Realm is the largest Tidal World, composed of countless Tidal Worlds.
Then those places where the Divine Spirits reside in the Dream Realm.
For example, the Giant King's Court, for example, the Forest.
Do these places where the Divine Spirits exist become individual small Tidal Worlds?
Thinking about it, it's quite possible.
Because these places, although in the Dream Realm, have no connections, even the Rules are different.
It's as if they belong to two worlds.
The Butcher saw Baiyu remain silent and continued, "That's how the Tidal Worlds are.
Divine Spirits can create Tidal Worlds.
When this Tidal World is continuously strengthened and grows large enough, it becomes the Divine Country of the Divine Spirit."
After Baiyu digests this knowledge.
The Butcher continued, "There are many ways to harm a Divine Spirit and restrain its power.
Since the Ancient Era.
Since the era of Shell, Divine Spirits have been falling.
Every epoch, a notable number of gods fall.
These Divine Spirits rarely fall due to battles.
More often it's like Black Moon, where the Divine Country collapses and belief systems crumble, causing their own consciousness to become blurry and unclear.
Over a long time.
Such maddened Divine Spirits find it hard to maintain their Divinity and eventually disappear within the river of time."
The Butcher carefully explained the relationship between the Spirit Realm, the Tidal Worlds, and the Divine Spirits.
Baiyu listened patiently.
Clearly.
He wants to clarify the relationship between the Spirit Realm, the Tidal Worlds, Divine Spirits, Dream Realm, and Canglan Star.
Regarding the other's knowledge of Black Moon, Baiyu wasn't surprised.
After all, with his status, knowing Black Moon is not really something astonishing.
Discussing Black Moon.
Should have connections with what he would say next.
After Baiyu carefully noted it down.
The Butcher spoke again, "The Mirage King is the deity specializing in the Spirit Realm Tides.
The Tidal Worlds he possesses are the most among all deities.
Incidentally.
The Mirage King and we are in opposing camps.
My constant task is dealing with these small Tidal Worlds.
Like the one here now.
It belongs to a Tidal World formed in the Era of Darkness 327 years ago, which has developed for over a thousand years.
Although the Mirage King hasn't focused main development here.
The existence here allows the Mirage King to continuously receive the power of belief, therefore, I appear here.
However.
Didn't expect to encounter an allyโฆ"
Baiyu is puzzled by what "ally" means.
Suddenly the Butcher's pig head showed a bright red mark, extremely striking.
This is an inverted, blood-red Red Cup mark.
The other is an Immortal under the Red Cup!
"Surprised?"
The Butcher retracted the mark on his forehead: "Throughout the Era of Bright, the Red Cup rarely took on followers, I never thought of meeting new faces.
The soup serves as my meeting gift for you.
Judging by your situation, you are still far from becoming an Immortal, be cautious."
At this moment.
After the Butcher's Red Cup mark was exposed, Baiyu's Red Cup mark on his arm also automatically appeared, emitting a crimson light.
Followers under the Red Cup can sense each other within a certain range.
Baiyu only realizes this now.
As to why he didn't notice the Butcher, clearly, it was because of the great difference in power between the two.
At this moment.
Having encountered the Butcher by coincidence.
Baiyu naturally won't let the opportunity slip by.
Immortal.
He had heard this term many times.
Whether among the Female Giant in the Giant King's Court or the tree spirit serving the Velvet King in the Forest, they are all Immortals.
As well as when the Red Cup Immortal came initially to recruit him.
These people.
Are followers chosen by Divine Spirits.
The allure of immortality is truly great.
Many would do numerous things for immortality, even willingly become a lackey without hesitation.
Besides.
Their kind of Immortality isn't true immortality.
After all, even Divine Spirits cannot exist eternally, let alone their followers.
After the Butcher finished speaking, Baiyu asked, "How can one become an Immortal?"
The Butcher said, "Becoming an Immortal isn't difficult, you have to establish your own cult and gather followers.
Additionally.
Perform specific rituals.
Of course.
There's a requirement for strength too, you have to become a Demigod."
Demigod.
This refers to the Sequence One of the Extraordinary Sequence.
Reaching Sequence One already holds a certain level of Godly strength, hence being called a Demigod.
This is still called not difficult?
Looking at Baiyu's expression.
The Butcher explained:
"This is the path for you to become an Immortal on your own, naturally, it's more challenging.
There's another way.
Most Immortals use this method, seeking help from Divine Spirits, leveraging their Divine Power for a leap to heaven.
This has a very low strength requirement.
As long as you can be in Sequence Three.
It can even be lower, if the Divine Spirit is willing to invest more Divine Power."
Baiyu nodded, the latter method sounds more reliable.
Apparently.
Most of those Immortals achieved it by borrowing Divine Power.
"You've understood almost everything, more details can't be clearly explained now.
Next, it's time for the real task."
The Butcher stopped speaking.
He lifted the suppression over Xu Qiu and others.
But the few remained unconscious, falling to the ground once suppression was removed.
Then.
The Butcher personally scooped out a large pot of soup.
He altered his appearance to that of the long-dead chef lying in the corner.
"The Mirage King is one of the Blood Origin Gods.
Although, he doesn't get along well with other Blood Origin Gods.
This guy was born in a fog that enveloped the Dream Realm for thousands of years.
Unlike those orthodox Blood Origin Gods' birth methods."
The Butcher sorted his cuisine and explained the origin of the Mirage King to Baiyu:
"After this guy was born, he began expanding his power, constantly rolling up Tidal Worlds around, frantically developing his followers and organizations.
Until now.
It's somewhat uncontrollable.
Several deities are dissatisfied with his actions.
Especially recently it seems he wants to stand with the Stone Shell species, so we have to act."
Baiyu detected the helplessness in the Butcher's tone.
The Dream Realm gods are clearly divided into three groups.
One group stands with humans, belonging to the human camp.
Among these gods, some were humans who ascended as gods, others rely on human beliefs and are close to mankind.
The other group.
Stands with demons and other races.
Baiyu already knew, the other races are descendants of ancient Stone Shell species crossbred.
And demons are descendants from the lineage of ancient Stone Shell species and Shell species.
Another group is entirely neutral, not closely tied with both sides.
It's thought that the Mirage King was a neutral Divine Spirit before.
But now.
This Blood Origin God has sided with the demons.
