Is That A Wisp?

Chapter 1341 Mountain Sect’s Unfathomable Foundation

They had been scanning the God Seat using their Divine Sense but still failed to sense anything about it. It was an unnerving feeling, one that made their hearts palpitate, unable to determine just what it was and what it could do to them. 

”Actually, when you become a God, you turn into the very Law that represents you. So, as long as that law exists in the God Realm, you wouldn’t die,” Sterlena explained. “And, there was only one incident where countless Gods either got injured or died.”

”When they tried to leave the God Realm,” Krune continued where she left off, frowning. 

”Yes.” Sterlena nodded in response. “Beyond the Four Realms is a chaotic space with swirling energies that makes it hard even for Primal Gods to stay alive for more than a few hours. So, only the Gods can freely venture through that space. But, that’s not possible.”

”That’s because…” She said solemnly, “When we become a God, we become the Law that turns into the God Realm’s foundation, and in turn, also elevates the foundation of the Four Realms. We become the functional blocks that sustain this place in the chaotic depths of space.”

”Think of the Four Realms as a piece of cloth with each God being the strand that makes it up,” she explained. “So, leaving the Four Realms is not possible unless this entire strand is removed from the piece of cloth.”

”And in this case, it means reducing the foundation of the Four Realms to do so.” She sighed as she said that. “So, when the Gods of the past tried to leave the God Realm, they ripped apart their entire Law from the God Realm but failed in the process.”

”That resulted in this vacant God Seat,” Sterlena concluded. “Once a God extracts themselves from the God Realm, they are no longer an omnipotent being but just an insanely strong cultivator. When they suffered a backlash from trying to exit the place, the God Realm reclaimed the God Seat in order to recover its foundation.”

”It has lost some of its foundations but reclaimed a few thanks to the God Seats,” she said, pointing at the God Seat. “So at present, this God Seat contains the Law of a God. The one that inherits it would automatically become a God.”

”However, that means we would be giving up on everything we’ve cultivated to date and would have to follow what that God cultivated, right?” Faunkill said, clearly not excited about that. After all, he was pretty prideful about his abilities and felt he had a fair shot at the God Realm as long as he made the necessary preparations. 

”That’s is true.” Sterlena nodded in response. “You’ll lose everything you currently have. But in the end, you’ll gain control over a Law.”

She stressed further as she added, “Since this Law has already been extracted from the God Realm, it means there’s no one else in the God Realm that has comprehended this law. So, the moment you obtain it, you’ll become the sole owner and user of this Law.” 

”Plus, you can simply spend more time to work on that Law and grow stronger. You’ll be damn weak in comparison to your fellow Gods, but you’ll still be a God nonetheless,” she spoke. 

”I’ll pass,” Zamura sighed as he said that. “I already have my own Law. I have a straight shot at becoming a God already.” 

”I’m pretty much the forerunner in the Divine Sense Law, and I don’t wish to lose my abilities. So, I’ll pass as well,” Krune said next. 

”I’ll pass.”

”I’ll pass as well.” 

One by one, the immortals rejected it. It wasn’t as if they didn’t feel any greed. Then again, what they didn’t like was losing all the abilities they’ve spent tens of thousands of years developing and refining. Presently, their abilities pretty much summed up their life. 

If they were to give up on that, then it would be despairing indeed. 

There were a few reasons for this. 

First of all, they were immortals, perennials that could live for as long as they wished. So, they weren’t pressed for time. As long as they hadn’t exhausted their potential, they would still be able to reach the peak of the Primal God Realm and prepare for an attempt to become a God. 

But the prime reason was something entirely different. 

Had it been before, they would have been interested. After all, even if they would have to cultivate that God’s law from scratch after turning into a God. It was a lot of effort. But still, they would be a God, the pinnacle existence of the God Realm. 

Anywhere they went, they could lord over the region casually. It was just cultivating from scratch. They could do it again. It wasn’t an issue, especially since they’ll become a God. 

Plus, they could slowly go around the God Realm, planting their Spiritual Incarnation in various places to slowly integrate their respective Law back into the laws of the God Realm. 

That way, they would soon turn into an omnipotent being. 

Then, here was the reason for their refusal—The Mountain Sect!

Body cultivation, Spiritual Marks; just these two held back their greed. After all, these two allowed them to amplify their power by many times, giving them a greater hope to be stronger and eventually, one fine day, attempt the final breakthrough to become a God. 

They didn’t wish to lose their body cultivation and Spiritual Marks, especially the Spiritual Marks that they had painstakingly obtained. Every Primal God had been furiously collecting items to refine and present to Feifei for their respective Spiritual Marks to be created. 

And that excited them the most, rather than becoming a God. These were their true thoughts. It was good and all, but when everyone, including the Semi-God Realm fledglings, had expressed their intentions to not inherit the God Seat, the atmosphere turned awkward. 

’This is a God Seat for heaven’s sake.’ Sterlena sighed before smiling. ‘Nevertheless, the fact that they have refused something of this caliber displays Mountain Sect’s true potential. You’ve established one monstrous sect, Krune.’

As everyone began to converse with one another about their thoughts, a voice resounded. “I’ll inherit the God Seat.”

In surprise, Krune turned to face the source of the voice, asking in shock, “Are you sure about this…”

”Solare?”
