Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1050 Conditions for Ascension to Godhood

The Earl's mansion, by candlelight.

Bai Pu opened the book, "The Immortal Legend".

On the table was also a large, dark gold shield, which was now covered by a layer of dark gold cocoon.

[The Spider Queen's Warning] After devouring the corpse of the demon lord Saramark, she finally showed signs of transforming again.

This time, this tower shield should be able to transform from a "Tier 1 High-level" equipment into a "Tier 2 Low-level" evolutionary equipment.

However, the spirit of the Spider Queen informed Bai Pu of the difficulties involved through telepathy.

The leap from first-order to second-order is a qualitative one.

The corpse of a level 14 demon lord alone is not enough to bring about a qualitative change; it merely provides an opportunity for such a change.

Bai Pu still needs to continue feeding the Spider Queen—that is, feeding her the remains of the "Demon Seed".

The Spider Queen's Tower Shield, through the instincts granted by its evolved purebloods, continuously absorbs and fuses these remnants, transforming them into energy for its own advancement.

The higher the level of the demonic remains fed to the tower shield, the faster it will transform, and it may even transform into a "second-tier intermediate base material" or even a "second-tier advanced base material" dark gold equipment!

Bai Pu continued feeding the remains of the demons while reading "The Immortal Legend".

"Among the primitive tribes of the entire Ember Wasteland, there is a tribe that reveres battle and honor called the 'Bodag.' Outsiders call them barbarians, berserkers. The Bodag are resilient and powerful, and for generations they have guarded the sacred mountain where their ancestors rest..."

“Uvogag was the bravest Bodag man. At the age of 17, he passed the test of the Ancestral Trial Peak and became the new leader of the Bodag people…”

"Under the protection of his ancestors and the watchful eye of some unspeakable being, Uvgag accomplished seven immortal feats. Under his powerful rule, the Bodag tribe reached its zenith, and their totems and wonders stood tall in the Ashesstone Wasteland, Howling Wind Canyon, and Everfrost Pass..."

"The brave and strong Uvugag was revered by all the tribes of the Ashstone Wasteland and was known as the Immortal King. People believed that he would eventually be deified and lead the entire tribe into an eternal divine kingdom..."

The details about the "Seven Immortal Deeds" are also very detailed, such as slaying the "Earthshaker"—the king of the Frost Mammoths—on the frozen plains, fighting off avalanches at Everfrost Pass, and subduing the "Frostfire Giants"...

However, it remains unknown how many of these seven immortal achievements were artistic embellishments by bards and unofficial historians.

After reading the Seven Great Achievements, Bai Pu turned to the last page.

"Uvoggag failed, and this is the punishment he deserves for betraying his ancestors. His past achievements have become seven mountains that crushed his spine. An inexplicable force in the darkness has cursed Uvoggag and his entire tribe, twisting and corrupting them..."

"Uvugg remained steadfast, his divine power returning to the ancestral sacred mountain, unfolding an immortal barrier. The ancestors warmly embraced the return of this rebellious son, quietly awaiting the arrival of his successor..."

Bai Pu read "The Immortal Legend" several times before finally closing the book.

Suddenly, Bai Pu received a notification message.

[King-level side quest: The Immortal Legend, now available.]

[Mission Objective: Uncover the secrets of the Immortal King.]

[Task Difficulty: C~? ? ?]

[Mission Reward: Unknown]

"Holy crap, a high-level match!" Bai Pu was startled when this "King-level side quest" popped up!

Side quests are categorized into different levels based on their importance to the world's plot, such as Normal (not marked), Silver, and Gold.

To date, the most important mission Bai Pu has encountered is the Gold Side Quest.

Above the Gold Quest is the Dark Gold Quest, and above that is the King Quest!
Bai Pu accepted this side mission with mixed feelings.

"How is it, any harvest?"

At this time, both the Great and Small Witches had already woken up. Wu Qingyun went to meditate and cultivate by connecting with the true image of the illusory world, while Wu Mingyue inquired about the information that Bai Pu had collected.

"This book contains more information than I imagined." Bai Pu handed the book to the Great Witch and then shared the King's side quest, "The Legend of Immortality," with her.

The great shaman was initially shocked, his bulging chest heaving violently, and it took him a long time to calm down.

She immediately flipped through the book "The Immortal Legend," but her reading speed was far slower than Bai Pu's, and she could only get a general idea of ​​much of the content.

After browsing through it, Wu Mingyue said with doubt, "Isn't it just a very ordinary legend...? It doesn't record the method to enter the Immortal Throne Secret Realm, nor does it explain what kind of inheritance or legacy is within the Immortal Throne Secret Realm..."

Bai Pu said, "I already have a guess as to how to enter the Immortal Throne Secret Realm. The legacy within the realm might not be as simple as just equipment. However, what I truly value is the secret information about the gods provided in this book..."

Wu Mingyue turned to a page in the book: "Are you talking about this 'indescribable being in the dark'? This kind of cryptic narrative style must refer to a deity."

"Yes."

Bai Pu let out a long sigh: "Mingyue, I guess the gods probably don't want to see humans ignite the divine fire."

Wu Mingyue thought for a moment: "If I were a god, seeing the ants I once looked down upon grow into gods like me, I would definitely be unhappy. I just don't know what real gods would think."

“I can tell you that the gods think the same way.”

Bai Pu pointed to the contents of the book and said, "Before the Immortal King Uvgag accomplished the Seven Great Deeds, he received the attention of the gods... What does that mean?"

"Does that mean he had already received the blessing of the gods and obtained the 'seed of blessing'?" Wu Mingyue understood immediately.

Bai Pu nodded and said, "Later, when he completed the seven great deeds, Uvogag grew to the point where he could be made a god... but he should also have become a chosen one of the gods, so the book says that 'he betrayed his ancestors.' This identity as a chosen one of the gods restrained Uvogag, causing him to fail in his ascension to godhood."

After a pause, Bai Pu said in a heavy tone, "Therefore I suspect that the top of the electorate may be the 'messengers of God'... unable to become true gods."

"Then it was a wise decision of yours to refuse to become a voter!"

Wu Mingyue perked up, "Xiao Bai, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... The reward for the King-level side quest should be some kind of inheritance from the Immortal King, right? It might even be the valuable experience from the Immortal King's failure to ascend to godhood!"

"I can only say that it is possible. Whether my choice not to become a voter is wise or not, I will only be able to witness when I have the opportunity to ascend to God in the future."

Bai Pu smiled.

It seems that the upper limit to becoming a voter is being a divine messenger, but the path is smoother if one receives guidance, resources, and protection from the divine faction during their growth.

Many core members of the Gaia Group, who are not voters, retain the possibility of becoming gods, but they have to put in more effort than voters on their path to godhood.
