A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 189 The Popularization of the Eighth Sense, Grand Master of the Sanctuary

"The Underworld is a world created and ruled by Hades. Living people who enter the Underworld are bound by its laws and become powerless, just like the dead who come to the Underworld after death. Only those whose existence is recognized by Hades, such as the Specters, can retain their own power."

"The Eighth Sense, as the source of power for not only Saints but also for every human being, is not merely a pass to the Underworld; it is a definite boost to one's strength."

In Merkaba's room, Jiang Chen was explaining the Eighth Sense to everyone, and everyone, including Merkaba, listened attentively.

Although he seemed to have touched upon the eighth sense.

But even just touching and listening to Jiang Chen's story allowed him to gain a deeper understanding.

Time passed slowly.

More and more people gathered around.

"The Eighth Sense, Asclepius, do you mean that once we step into the Eighth Sense, we can ignore the laws of the Underworld, and then I will possess the eternal life of the Golden Age?"

As Jiang Chen recounted his story, a figure seemed to realize something and spoke with a hint of hesitation.

"No, the Eighth Sense is merely the ability to travel through the underworld. It still cannot break the boundary between life and death, but it is enough to make human lifespan much longer."

Hearing the question, Jiang Chen looked over, and what he saw startled him.

This figure bears a striking resemblance to Gemini Saga, except that he has pure white hair.

However, after only a moment of surprise, Jiang Chen quickly shook his head and began to explain.

The boundary between life and death.

It's not something that the eighth sense can break.

The eighth sense merely gives humanity the opportunity to rival the gods, but it does not cross the boundary between humans and gods.

To truly reach this point...

Only Omega, or the power of the Ninth Sense, could make it possible.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the figure who looked remarkably like Saga nodded slightly.

"Slauga, the boundary between gods and humans is not so easily broken."

"And don't even think about breaking it; it's a taboo of the gods, and if you try, you'll likely face divine punishment."

Arudy couldn't help but speak up.

"I know."

Slaogah spoke calmly.

His eyes flickered, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Chen didn't care too much.

The voice continued to speak of the Eighth Sense.

He just thought of something.

He truly didn't know how the holy war was won.

But that doesn't mean he has no solution.

The Saints of the mythological era were indeed generally stronger than those of the Saints of the SS era. To put it bluntly, almost everyone here was at the level of a Gold Saint from the SS era.

However, there is one thing that the Saints of the mythological era cannot compare with those of the SS era.

That is the degree to which the microcosm is developed.

In the mythological era, the most crucial aspect of divine warfare was the war between gods. While wars between warriors were important, they weren't quite as crucial.

The level of development of the microcosm naturally cannot compare to that of the SS era.

Just like now, Jiang Chen has confirmed that in this era, humans do not actually possess an eighth sense.

Even Jamil didn't have the Eighth Sense; he only had his Seventh Sense cosmos reach a very high level.

In this situation, if the Holy Domain could produce enough beings with the Eighth Sense, then the Holy Domain's strength would undoubtedly be enhanced to an unprecedented degree.

After all, it's the power of the Eighth Sense's cosmos, plus the blessing of the special Cloth.

Fighting a level two god might not be very promising, but against a level three god, there is a great chance.

And this is only the eighth sense. If it were the ninth sense, or even the power of Omega, to what extent could it reach?

Jiang Chen remembered that in the work authorized by Kurumada, "Saint Seiya Episode G Assassin", Aiolos, the opposing pope of a parallel world, awakened the Ninth Sense.

The Ninth Sense is a cultivation path beyond the Eighth Sense, but it is not the orthodox path; rather, it is the fundamental path of the universe. To comprehend the Ninth Sense is to, after reaching the pinnacle of the Eighth Sense, sever one's own good and evil thoughts, and embrace the senses of nothingness, entering an inconceivable realm, conforming to the path of nothingness. Nothingness is not chaos, but rather the absence of anything. Its essence is the inverse evolution of ultimate power, an incompletely degraded product of ultimate power, which is considered among the strongest even in the multiverse.

Such a being is almost unimaginable.

As long as a Ninth Sense can be born, coupled with the existence of Athena, Jiang Chen cannot imagine the possibility of losing the Holy War.

After all, Athena could win in the original story, so there's no reason why adding a Ninth Sense would make it lose.

Of course, the Ninth Sense is still far from being a part of Jiang Chen's life.

He has only just reached the seventh sense, and perfecting the seventh sense is not easy.

After all, his microcosm is connected to the entire known universe.

Theoretically, to reach the peak of the Seventh Sense, one must completely reveal the known universe in order to truly reach the peak of the Seventh Sense.

Even without considering the theoretical peak of the seventh sense, he would still need to materialize Athena's eighty-eight star systems.

This is also a long process.

As mentioned before, without special assistance, even with the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, it would take hundreds, or even thousands of years.

Almost none of them are possible to complete.

Countless people gathered at Merkaba's room.

At this moment, there are naturally more than eighty-eight Saint Seiya warriors.

Jamil obeyed Athena's command.

Thousands of Saint Cloths were created in total.

Of course, these Saint Cloths are not currently classified into three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

There is only one title: Saint Seiya.

"call!"

"Alright, that's all for the Eighth Sense!"

Whether you can grasp this further depends on yourselves!

Jiang Chen let out a long breath and recounted everything he knew about his Eighth Sense.

Thank you!

"Thank you so much!"

"Asclepius!"

"You, you are so great!"

One voice after another spoke, and the way these people looked at Jiang Chen changed once again.

If Jiang Chen was respected before because of his medical skills, then at this moment he is respected for offering a path to the future.

In the Holy Domain, those who can reach the Seventh Sense are almost universal, and even those at the peak of the Seventh Sense are not uncommon throughout the entire Holy Domain.

However, the peak of the Seventh Sense is almost the limit for ordinary people, and they can no longer find the path to the future.

I don't know where my future lies.

It seems that the enhancement of one's inner universe has reached its limit.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen forcefully carved out a path of light for them under the dark sky.

At least at this moment, each of the peak Seventh Sense practitioners saw that path.

This is more important to them than anything else.

After that day.

Within the Sanctuary, more and more Saint Seiya warriors sought guidance from Jiang Chen.

The name Asclepius grew increasingly prominent throughout the Sanctuary.

Everyone became increasingly respectful towards Jiang Chen.

Of course, for Jiang Chen, his life didn't change much afterward.

He did not directly participate in the war against Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Instead, they remained within the Sanctuary. Although the main quest's objective was to help Athena achieve victory in the final Holy War.

However, no time limit was specified.

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry about this.

Compared to these, his own strength is what he is currently most concerned about.

In his plan, if he could perfect the eighty-eight star systems of Athens and reach the peak of the seventh sense, even without comprehending the eighth sense, his strength would probably be no less than that of an ordinary second-level god. If he could comprehend the eighth sense, his strength would even be comparable to some first-level gods.

Once you have this strength, you will hold a pivotal position even in a holy war.

Unlike now.

Without using Saiyan power, his strength is very limited.

Let alone deciding the outcome of the holy war, even preserving oneself under the holy war would be a huge problem.

As for using the power of the Saiyans, Jiang Chen has not considered it for the time being.

This is ultimately not a power from a single world system. The power system of the Saint Seiya world is no joke. If it is used in a Holy War and observed by some terrifying beings, then the joke will be far too serious.

Jiang Chen certainly doesn't want to lose the chance to log in to Saint Seiya.

And in this kind of spiritual practice.

Twenty years have passed quietly.

If we place these twenty years in the future, it would be almost half a lifetime for an ordinary person.

However, in this Silver Age, even ordinary people can live for hundreds of years, so twenty years is not too long.

Twenty years have passed, and everything in the Holy Land remains the same, without much change.

The Temple of Athena, perched atop the towering sacred mountain, radiates a rich, intense light.

A gentle microcosm enveloped the entire sanctuary.

Meanwhile, the outside world...

The war between Athena's Sanctuary and Poseidon, the sea god, has once again spread for twenty years.

These twenty years.

The Holy Land has gone from being completely suppressed to now being only slightly at a disadvantage.

Poseidon's sea warriors did not gain much advantage in the war.

On the contrary, two of the seven generals were killed by the Holy Domain.

Of the remaining five, some had also been severely injured by the Holy Domain.

In contrast, the Sanctuary did not suffer as heavy a loss as it had initially.

That's why we were able to achieve this result.

Most importantly, in the Holy Land, new Saint Cloths are being born one after another.

It started with those twelve gold armors.

As twenty years have passed, ten of the twelve Gold Cloths have found their owners, meaning the Sanctuary now has ten more Gold Saints.

Secondly, there are the hundreds of other Saint Cloths that Jamil gradually created using the Gold Cloth.

These Saint Cloths and Gold Cloths also possess their own Cosmo and consciousness. When a Saint gains the Cloth's approval, the Saint wearing these Cloths will experience a rapid increase in strength.

It is precisely because of this that the strength of the Holy Land has been unprecedentedly enhanced in the past twenty years.

At this rate, it may not be long before the Sanctuary truly possesses strength comparable to that of Poseidon, the sea god.

The twelve Gold Saints, in particular, once gathered together, will allow the Holy Land's strength to rise even higher from its current level.

This has greatly boosted the confidence of everyone in the Holy Land.

The morning sunlight shines down.

It heralds the arrival of a new day.

Early in the morning, the entire Holy Land became lively.

Because today, the Holy Land's once-every-ten-year grand martial arts tournament is about to begin.

It's even rumored that the last two gold armors will appear.

As long as we can achieve final victory, we will have the opportunity to connect with the Gold Cloth.

Over the past twenty years, everyone has come to clearly understand the power of the Gold Cloths. Now that they have the opportunity, everyone is filled with excitement and anticipation.

In an instant, a large number of Saint Seiya warriors gathered at the arena.

The grand competition began.

The surrounding area was filled with noise.

Countless people began to shout excitedly.

Her face flushed red.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Nikal, teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's it!"

"Hahaha, we won!"

"Awesome, Saka!"

Excitement mingled with cheers, and countless people were shouting and pounding with excitement.

At the very center, where the arena is located, one Saint Seiya after another takes the stage, their powerful cosmos sweeping across the land, their energies colliding constantly. If this land did not possess the will of the gods, even these mere clashes would be enough to leave the earth riddled with holes.

The same grand martial arts competition in the Holy Domain.

This time is different from modern time and space.

At that time, most people hadn't even grasped the concept of a sixth sense.

Those who dared to step into the arena at this moment were almost all at the peak of the Seventh Sense.

Those who have just entered the Seventh Sense cannot see any of them.

In the SS era, each of them would be considered the strongest among the Gold Saints.

They could even earn the title of "closest to the gods," like Saga.

However, it is clear that in this mythical era, such strength is just so-so.

The peak of the Seventh Sense is not uncommon, even in the Holy Realm.

This was even more true throughout the mythological era.

After all, in the mythological era, not only were the supreme first-level gods present, but second-level and third-level gods were also present.

In addition, there are demigods and divine servants.

These people are far stronger than humans at the peak of the Seventh Sense.

None of them are qualified to be called beings closest to gods, so the peak of the seventh sense is even more impossible here.

They're only slightly better than regular soldiers.

True power lies with the servants of the gods and the demigods.

They often possess power that surpasses that of ordinary people.

The reason why Athena's Sanctuary is weak is because it lacks this power.

Fortunately, twenty years have passed.

The Sanctuary has also undergone some changes.

For example, the Eighth Sense.

Since Jiang Chen popularized it twenty years ago, several people with the Eighth Sense have emerged in the Holy Domain.

With the Eighth Sense and the Gold Cloth, although he is not as powerful as a second-level god, he is already comparable to some third-level gods.

They are far more powerful than ordinary demigods and divine servants.
