The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Wu You stared intently.

There were only a few lines of gold writing on the paper, about three or four, each line lying quietly on the pale gold surface.

Strangely, the font on the paper has a peculiar structure, and the strokes also have a slightly distorted feel.

Those distortions were not the writer's mistake, but rather something that the writing itself did not belong to any known writing system on Earth.

Some strokes are written from right to left, some from bottom to top, and some have three different directions appearing in the same character at the same time, but when they are combined, they do form a complete symbol with a certain meaning.

Wu You had never seen this style of writing before.

However, although Wu You had never seen this kind of writing before, he still strangely understood the meaning of these characters.

He didn't even need to identify or analyze the grammar and sentence structure; the meanings just appeared naturally in his mind.

This situation unconsciously reminded Wu You of the last time the perspective was elevated.

At that moment, his gaze followed the pale golden thread to a strange place, which was neither the Dark Realm nor the real world, nor any place he knew, and there he heard some strange language.

The intonation and the combination of syllables are still vivid in his memory.

He had never heard of that language before, yet he miraculously understood its meaning.

How similar this is to the current situation.

A bold guess came to Wu You's mind.

The unfamiliar language and script seemed to belong to another world, a product of another civilization, rather than something that originally existed on Earth.

"Another world..."

"The Corpse Realm..."

Wu You murmured to himself, the starlight in his silver eyes momentarily freezing.

Moreover, the God of Beasts comes from the Corpse Realm.

Wu You vaguely sensed that the strange scene he had witnessed earlier, even if it wasn't in the Corpse Origin Realm, was definitely closely connected to it.

He then shook his head: "Perhaps this ability is a characteristic that everyone possesses after reaching a certain level of divinity."

The essence of language and writing is that they are carriers of information. Perhaps when the perception of living beings transcends the level of "hearing" and "seeing", they will be able to extract the information itself directly from the carrier of information. In that case, the form of language and writing will no longer be important.

That experience of gaining a higher perspective, and the pale gold writing given by the God of Beasts this time, may both be ways of using divinity, giving him the ability to bypass superficial forms and directly reach the essence of information.

Pulling his thoughts back, Wu You focused on the meaning of the pale gold lettering.

There were only three lines of text on the paper, each followed by a gold dot.

First line: Prerequisite 1 for ascending to godhood - Energy level reaches level 11/tier.

Second line: Prerequisite 2 for ascending to godhood - master at least one rule and reach the level where you can expand into the corresponding domain.

The third line: Prerequisite 3 for ascending to the God's ladder - have at least 100 self-aware believers and establish connections with them.

The pale gold lettering contained only three pieces of information, which Wu You quickly read.

Then, his silvery-white eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He originally thought that what the God of Beasts meant by "things that need to be prepared" were certain items, but now it seems that it would be more appropriate to describe them as "conditions that need to be met".

"The prerequisites for becoming a god..."

"The most basic requirement to begin climbing the Ascension Stairs is to reach the eleventh level, right?"

Wu You pondered.

"There are also rules and territories."

"Judging from the information He provided, it seems that mastering the rules to a certain extent can unlock the corresponding domain."

"Open the domain..."

"Finally, we need one hundred more believers..."

Wu You sat on the sofa, her eyes sparkling.

His brain was working at high speed, analyzing and integrating these three pieces of information with all the information he had previously gathered.

Wu You was not worried about the first condition.

As Elder Wei once said, the number of corpses in this deep dark domain usually recovers within a few days.

Once he recovers, he will be able to reap a large amount of experience points.

Even if the upgrades are slow, Wu You believes that it won't take him long to reach the eleventh level.

Of course, this is on the premise that the density of corpses in the various dangerous zones of the deep dark domain does not decrease so quickly.

At the same time, the special eleventh rank also caught Wu You's attention again.

The Fifth Lord Li also mentioned that one can only come into contact with the existence of rules when reaching the eleventh level.

The ability user and this so-called ascension to godhood are most likely not from the same system.

Coincidentally, in the ability user system, one can only access the rules after reaching the eleventh level of the Enlightenment Realm.

In the ascending to godhood system, only those who reach the eleventh rank and have mastered the rules to a certain extent are qualified to embark on the path to godhood.

The two different systems intersected at the two nodes of "eleventh order" and "rules".

"Eleventh tier, and there are rules..."

Wu You seemed to be deep in thought, and a sentence inexplicably came to mind: "All paths lead to the same destination!"

No matter which path you take, no matter what method you use to cultivate yourself, no matter what destination you are pursuing, perhaps after reaching a certain level, everyone will face the same problems and need to overcome the same thresholds.

At the same time, this also gave Wu You some new ideas for creating a new sword style.

"The so-called cultivation methods, or cultivation systems."

"Either enhance the physical and mental well-being, or elevate the level of energy mastery."

"It's just that the paths we take are different."

"But the destination should be roughly the same."

"Therefore, there is no need to be so fixated on the methods of improvement."

"As long as we can figure out the key points on the path to improvement that lead to qualitative changes, and find a way to meet their requirements, that will suffice."

Thinking about this, Wu You had many new ideas.

Those thoughts welled up from the depths of his consciousness like a spring, and he immediately picked up a pen and paper and wrote down those newly emerging thoughts one by one.

As for the so-called "ascending the divine steps," Wu You never actually intended to take this path.

His understanding of the information about ascending the divine steps was simply to see if he could find a solution to the problem of divinity eroding humanity.

After all, he possesses the Sword Manual, so why should he seek his own path elsewhere?

Of course, it's okay to take some inspiration from it.

Just as Wu You was writing down his inspiration for creating a new sword style, the little cat-eared girl in the training room, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, opened her eyes.

Those fiery golden vertical pupils flashed briefly in the energy mist within the cultivation room.

His gaze pierced through the door of the cultivation room and landed on the figure who was bowing his head, the tip of his pen moving rapidly across the paper.

Several seconds later, those calm, golden eyes slowly closed again.
