Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 851 The Path of God!
The instant he passed through the Gate of God, Li You felt as if his consciousness had been swept into the torrent of time!
In an instant, countless images seemed to be pressed down by an overwhelming external force, imprinted into his soul, as if to etch the invisible laws into the deepest part of his consciousness!

Moreover, that invisible force seemed to want to crush his soul directly!
However, at the same time, the divine power within Li You's body circulated on its own, responding and blocking the invisible power of rules from entering Li You's body, consciousness, and soul.

Li You himself regained his senses after a moment of confusion. The power of the rules he had just encountered must have been the first test for any life attempting to cross the Gate of Gods.

However, Li You had already obtained the legacy of the Sakura Dragon a long time ago and was already very familiar with divine power.

To be honest, some born demigods probably don't understand divine power as well as he does.

So he passed this test very easily.

He opened his eyes and looked ahead, finding himself in a deep and illusory universe. Distant stars cast their light, and at the edge of the space, there was an exceptionally bright and enormous star, floating silently, as if calling out to Li You.

The moment Li You saw this star, he knew it was his destination.

After he passed the first test, the starry sky in front of him began to gradually change its shape.

The distant, shimmering stars arrayed themselves, their scattered rays coalescing into a twinkling path before Li You, pointing directly to the stars at the end.

In this wondrous space, all physical laws seemed to cease to exist. The entrance to the starlight-condensed passage was clearly far away, but with a mere thought, Li You traversed countless spaces and arrived at its starting point in the next instant.

As Li You stepped onto the starlight tunnel, he once again felt immense pressure descend upon him, pressing down on his entire body and even his soul from all directions.

The feeling was similar to before, but it didn't involve any coercion; it was just an attempt to push him away from the passage.

In this space, all powers except divine power were unusable. So Li You activated his divine power, circulated it throughout his body, and then stepped forward.

With each step he took, the omnipresent pressure immediately increased slightly, and as Li You continued to advance, this repulsive force grew stronger and stronger.

However, in terms of the increase, Li You can completely withstand this consumption and pressure.

This is not surprising. With Li You's current strength, he could have already defeated a powerful god like Thor. And this path to godhood has only just begun. It would be unreasonable if he couldn't keep up.

But this pressure was merely the foundation. As he continued forward, all sorts of images began to appear before him.

Those were powerful enemies he had faced in the past, many of whom had put him in danger. Now they were resurrected, and their terrifying aura was even stronger than before.

At the same time, Li You's own strength and even his understanding seem to be gradually eroding and becoming blurred.

He seemed to have lost everything he had accumulated along the way, and returned to a novice period where he had nothing and had to do everything he could to fight against those dangerous and deadly enemies.

At that time, he didn't have many trump cards up his sleeve and was truly desperate to survive.

Now, he has to face those enemies again, and the difficulty is even greater than before.

One after another, phantom images crashed into Li You and merged into his body.

Each illusory figure that merged into his path slowed Li You down a little, and some even made him stand still for a moment, unable to go any further.

At the same time, some of the phantoms, shortly after merging into Li You's body, transformed into a small black shadow that flew out from behind him and then dissipated behind the passage.

These are the remnants of the enemies he defeated once again. As the phantoms left his body, a portion of their memories were permanently left on Li You.

Wounds of varying sizes and shapes appeared all over Li You's body. His divine power could resist the pressure of the passage, but it was unable to react to the integration of these phantoms.

Moreover, because Li You's own consciousness has been affected, he is now almost instinctively resisting the pressure and moving forward.

As these phantoms merged into the passage, Li You felt increasing pressure, and the repulsive force of the passage itself continued to strengthen even when he didn't move forward.

This makes it extremely difficult for Li You to continue forward.

As his steps gradually slowed and came to a standstill, suddenly large patches of golden-red flames burst forth from his body!
The flames helped him burn away many of the overlapping phantoms on his body, allowing the accumulated burdens to disappear quickly, and Li You's injuries gradually recovered.

The primordial fire from within the spiral sword has now become one of the most important components of his power system, so this power has been summoned along this path.

With the aid of the power of the Primordial Flame, Li You's consciousness became clearer, and he continued to walk forward.

More afterimages rushed towards him, but this time the pressure on Li You was greatly reduced, and he stepped forward much faster, with wisps of black smoke drifting behind him.

Breaking through the obstacles of the illusory figures and advancing against the gradually increasing repulsive force, Li You quickly passed the halfway point of the starlight passage.

After crossing halfway, the repulsion from the passage itself suddenly intensified, and the phantoms of the enemies who had passed by before no longer appeared. In their place were various illusions of Li You's companions, friends, comrades-in-arms, and old acquaintances.

One after another, false scenarios appeared before Li You. Some were the beautiful illusion that he had perfectly resolved all past difficulties and achieved a perfect ending without any regrets. Others were the despair faced by his friends and that world after he lost everything due to one careless move.

These hallucinations, some beautiful and unforgettable, others so tragic that even a stranger would find them unbearable to witness. One after another, these hallucinations assaulted Li You's mind and consciousness.

However, perhaps due to the trials he had undergone in Valhalla, those tragic illusions could not shake Li You's consciousness.

He believed in himself and trusted his former comrades and comrades. He simply remembered the tragic scenes of the world after seeing them, as a warning, and then was no longer affected by them.

As for those beautiful, illusory perfections, Li You also hoped that things would develop that way, but he had a clearer understanding of his own abilities.

Some things are simply impossible. He couldn't possibly start with a fully-equipped account and complete the game from the beginning. It's perfectly normal to have regrets and losses; he couldn't save everyone anyway.

Similarly, Li You would hope to reach that perfect ending, but he would only work hard silently and would not indulge in the false beauty.

Therefore, in terms of difficulty, this level was actually easier for Li You than the previous ones.

Finally, all the phantoms of the enemy and the layered illusions disappeared. Li You arrived at the end of the starlight passage, where a star radiated eternal brilliance.

His consciousness had fully returned, and looking at the star that was almost within reach, Li You subconsciously reached out his hand. The instant he touched that star, an unparalleled and unprecedented violent shock swept through his body and soul!
Compared to this shock, all the previous pressures and obstacles were utterly insignificant, not even a drizzle. This force seemed to be tearing Li You apart, dismantling his flesh and soul!

Intense pain struck, and even with the dual protection of divine power and the Primordial Flame, Li You lost consciousness immediately!
In a hazy state, he vaguely felt that the star contained the laws of life and death, the origin and end of the world, and the core of life's existence.

For mortal beings to ascend to divine status, they must undergo its baptism and transform themselves into a completely new life form.

In fact, all descriptions seem powerless when it comes to that star. Li You cannot explain what it is, and can only try to understand it in his own way.

Although He truly exists at this moment, He seems illusory, merely a symbolic manifestation of Li You's inner understanding of the path to godhood.

After all, none of the knowledge Li You had acquired before mentioned the existence of this object.

However, none of that mattered anymore, because Li You's consciousness and physical form had almost dissolved under the starlight, and he could hardly resist the erosion of this extremely pure power.

But at this moment.

A buzzing sound rang out, and the Cherry Dragon God Crystal within Li You's body was completely awakened by this power.

It emerged from Li You's body, hovering between his form and the star. Under its light, the Cherry Dragon Divine Crystal froze for a moment, then shattered with a deafening roar!
The divine crystal shattered into countless tiny, shimmering fragments, each reflecting the light of the stars.

Immediately following, a dragon's roar suddenly emanated from Li You's body!

A small black dragon emerged from Li You's chest.

Its body was tiny, but every scale and every whisker was exquisitely detailed. It was an Eastern dragon with a flawless appearance. However, its jet-black body and the black and red flames burning around it made it seem unapproachable.

The Mortal Blade, which had been sealed away since arriving in Northern Europe and the Nine Realms, has finally been revived.

The small dragon that the Mortal Blade had transformed into flew out and then circled around Li You, protecting him.

With the help of the black dragon to share the pressure, the primordial fire on Li You's body rose again, burning and enveloping his entire body.

The combination of the Mortal Blade and the Spiral Sword finally brought Li You's consciousness back.

He opened his eyes again.

The outline of these eyes is exactly the same as before, but the feeling they evoke has completely changed.

Those eyes reflected the majesty of a deity.

But at this moment, apart from his eyes, Li You's rest of his body had become blurred, as if it had been decomposed into pure energy, and the baptism of that star was not yet over.

But Li You no longer felt pain. With the help of the Primordial Flame and the power of Fated Death, Li You not only withstood the initial impact but also regained his consciousness. His "ritual" could be considered to be more than half completed.

Next, as long as he survives the final baptism under the protection of these two forces, he will be able to complete his ascension ceremony and become a life form completely different from that of mortals.

That's how it should be.

However, at this moment, Li You's eyes were fixed on the enormous star in front of him.

"...If this star represents my subconscious understanding of the concepts of 'god' and 'divinity,' then is my ritual of becoming a god really just about receiving its baptism?"

This question arose in Li You's mind, and the moment it appeared, Li You knew that he already had the answer.

So at this moment, a glint flashed in his eyes, and his transformed consciousness and soul began to issue commands!
The forces of the Primordial Flame and the Predestined Death were summoned and immediately merged into his body. Golden-red flames outlined his physique and skin, while the Predestined Death seeped into his body, supporting this shell constructed of pure divine power!
At the same time, blood vessels began to appear in this body, with bright red blood flowing through them, faintly carrying a special power.

Li You's transformation into a dragon-human was initially achieved by fusing the Bloodstone, created from the Nameless King, into his body, thus gaining power. That power has evolved continuously, and now it not only resides in his body and blood but is also imprinted in his soul.

At this moment, Li You activated this power, merging it with the Primordial Flame and the Fated Death, thus reconstructing a complete body for himself!

With black hair and black eyes, and stern features, his appearance remained unchanged, but the aura he exuded was completely different.

Naturally, he was not wearing any clothes at this moment, only black and gold flames wrapped around his body, as if they were one with him.

Li You looked at the stars ahead again, and with a thought, his entire body instantly expanded, breaking through the starlight passage!

Even then, his body continued to grow larger until the star that once seemed to be the center of the universe appeared as small as a glass bead in his presence.

"...This place was originally my ritual site, a space that should be under my control."

At this moment, Li You's perspective is on a completely different level than before. Many rules governing the operation of the world that he couldn't understand in the past can now be seen through at a glance.

So at this moment, Li You reached out and gently pinched the star that was still shining brightly.

"My ceremony is only missing you all."

He held the star in one hand, and with the other hand, he reached out and gently scooped up the distant stars in the universe, bringing them all into his palm.

Stars the size of glass beads, along with a large number of tiny stars, were casually pinched together by Li You, as if coating transparent spherical candies with a layer of white sugar.

Then, he raised his hand and put the "candy" into his mouth.

In an instant, an indescribable light radiated from Li You's body. As the light shone, the entire "universe" in which he was located emitted a crisp shattering sound!

"Snap—!!"
