The Growth of a God

Chapter 10: Divine Reserves

With the additional description from the Dragon Head, Li Hao finally figured out the meaning of the identity of "Original Spirit".

The primordial spirit is a demigod, but not a simple demigod.

Different from Li Hao’s traditional cognition.

The "gods" and "demigods" described by the dragon head are just differences in identity and status, but not substantial differences in power.

Above the world and beyond the three realms.

It transcends the dimension of "life" and becomes something that is almost eternal.

Individuals or groups like this, regardless of their strength, are qualified to be called "gods."

The so-called "demigod" can, in a sense, be regarded as "the young form of god."

They often possess powers that are unimaginable to mortal beings, but unlike true gods, they do not transcend the dimension of life and still retain their own forms in the world.

That physical body is the only "weakness" of the demigod.

They have not transcended the dimension of life, so as long as their bodies in this world are killed, they can only accept their fate of extinction.

Among them, the "primitive spirit" is the most special kind of "demigod".

They were born from the original will at the beginning of the world and are special beings between "gods" and "demigods".

In terms of the dimension of life, they are not as good as real gods and have "weaknesses" that can be killed.

But in terms of power and authority, even a supreme god like Zhulong who controls a world alone is not necessarily more powerful than the "Original Spirit".

Because the original "primitive spirit" is the will of the world.

Unless the entire world is destroyed, it is basically impossible for the "primitive spirit" to die naturally.

However, Li Hao's current situation is somewhat different from that of a normal primitive spirit.

Because his current "dream" is the world of Zhulong, the kingdom of a true God.

According to the Dragon Head, among all the heavens and worlds, only those worlds nurtured by nature can give birth to primordial spirits.

In the kingdom of God created by the true God, the true God is the only ruler of this world.

The only difference is that the original spirit relies on the world to exist.

The Kingdom of God, on the contrary, exists in the world relying on the true God.

Therefore, when the true God falls, the world called "Kingdom of God" will be buried with the true God.

This gives rise to a new question: Can the true God, who has transcended the dimension of life and is said to be immortal, die?
The answer is of course yes.

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man, Twilight of the Gods, War of the Gods...

There are many situations that can lead to the death of a true God, and most of them come from other true gods of higher status.

When a true God is on the verge of death, the "Kingdom of God" he created will also be dragged to the [Sinking Zone].

That is the end point of the heavens and myriad worlds, and also the tomb of all gods.

Different from the [Ascension Zone] that gave birth to civilization and gods.

[The Sinking Zone] is a macroscopic universe with strict rules and an almost infinite scope.

Whenever a world is destroyed, its remains will be dragged into the [Sinking Zone] and become part of the [Sinking Zone].

Even a true god with supreme power cannot violate this order and rule.

......................................................................................................

"To put it simply, you are the original spirit that was bred by the Kingdom of God after the death of the Ancestral Dragon."

When saying this, the dragon head's eyes looked very strange.

Because in the Dragon Head's cognition, such a situation only exists in theory and has never appeared in reality.

First of all, it is very rare that the true God is dead but the kingdom of God is not destroyed.

Secondly, the rules of the [Sinking Zone] are different from those of the heavens and all worlds.

The kingdom of God that arrives there will only be decomposed bit by bit into the most basic matter and energy, and it will be impossible to give birth to a new original spirit.

Last but not least, the gestation of the primordial spirit requires a long time and opportunity.

Especially primitive spirits like Li Hao who show obvious wisdom tendencies. They can only be bred in prosperous worlds with civilizations.

The kingdom of the Candle-Bearing Dragon can only meet the first condition at best.

Even thinking further, it is very strange that the Kingdom of God did not immediately follow the death of the Ancestral Dragon.

Although the dragon head has been sealed for a million years, it has not become a fool because of this one million years of sealing.

Previously, I was just eager to survive, and I was ecstatic about having encountered the legendary "primitive spirit", so I didn't go into the details.

But now that I think about it, is Zulong really dead?
Is the original spirit in front of him really the "original spirit" in his mind?

It is possible that gods could commit any crazy acts before their death.

Abandoning all memories and abilities and "reincarnating" to live again is just a trivial option.

"..."

He did not directly answer the dragon head's question.

Li Hao just stared at the other person silently through Scarface's perspective, motioning him to continue speaking.

Seeing this, the dragon head had no choice but to continue telling the story of the candle-holding dragon and his own origins.

"Zu Long's real name is Zhu Jiuyin, he is a true god of the dragon clan..."

"And he is a supreme god who independently created a world..."

The "Dragon Holding a Candle" during its heyday.

Even among the many gods in the heavens and all worlds, he is one of the most prominent ones.

The world he created was therefore called the "Dragon Realm" or the "Mountain and Sea Realm" by the gods.

This is a world with only mountains, only seas, and only dragons can fly freely.

When the Candle-Bearing Dragon was alive, he was the only ruler of this world and the ancestor of all dragons.

Legend has it that before the candle-holding dragon ascended to become a god, it once sat at the center of this world.

When He opens His eyes, the sun appears.

When He closes His eyes, night falls.

His breath stretched over the years, winter when He inhaled and summer when He exhaled.

I have to admit that this description with a strong sense of déjà vu instantly made Li Hao have some meaningless associations.

——"Classic of Mountains and Seas" Volume 8: Overseas North Classic.

The god of Zhongshan is named Zhuyin. He sees as day, closes his eyes as night, blows as winter, and breathes as summer.

He does not drink, eat, or rest. His breath becomes wind, and his body is a thousand miles long. He is in the east of the infinite.

It is a creature with a human face and a snake body, red in color, and lives at the foot of Mount Zhong.

——"Classic of Mountains and Seas" Volume 17, Great Wilderness North Classic.

Beyond the Northwest Sea and to the north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain.

There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body. His eyes are straight, his gaze is dark, and his sight is bright.

It is Zhu Jiuyin, which is called Zhulong.

From Li Hao's perspective, it is hard to say that this is just a coincidence.

Why is there a record of the "Dragon Holding a Candle" in the real world I live in?

What is the relationship between the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which records the "Dragon Holding a Candle", and the current mountain and sea world?

With all these questions in mind, Li Hao chose to continue listening.

　The primordial spirit is equivalent to the will of the world and the way of heaven.

　　The only difference is that the God in the setting of this book is supreme.

　　Therefore, even the world will is inferior to God in terms of setting.
