Gradually, he felt a "whoosh" sound in his mind, followed by the emergence of the second Ice God Fire. His sea of consciousness expanded again, followed by the third, the fourth, and finally the sixth Ice God Fire was ignited. The booming sound resounded in his mind, and the area of his sea of consciousness rapidly expanded by several orders of magnitude.
If it was a lake before, it is now a vast ocean!
Within the sea of spirit, Tianmeng stared at this scene in bewilderment. He murmured, "Igniting the divine fire has such a significant effect on the total amount of spiritual power? Yuhao's total spiritual power has already surpassed mine at my peak."
Chapter 480 From God's Plan
Among Huo Yuhao's souls, if we were to discuss the total amount of spiritual power at its peak and the attainments in spiritual power, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would undoubtedly be number one.
However, he still envied Huo Yuhao immensely, after all, Huo Yuhao's total mental strength increased much faster than his own.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's spiritual body emerged in the sea of spirit. He looked at the six divine flames not far away and found that from the first to the sixth divine flame, the size of the flames was getting larger and larger, and the flames were becoming more and more solid.
He muttered to himself, "Each time a new divine fire is lit, more faith power is required. The difficulty of lighting the sixth divine fire is much greater than that of lighting the first one."
He looked at Electrox in mid-air and asked, "Teacher, I remember you said before that, based on your research on the corpse of the God of Love, you discovered that after the divine fire is ignited, once the divine fire accumulates to a certain degree, it can condense the authority in the divine position, and then truly condense the divine position. So, what you call accumulation, on the surface, is just the increase in the number of divine fires?"
“That’s right.” Electrox nodded. “Based on my research on the corpse of the God of Love and the divine position, I discovered that for gods of the first rank and below, every three divine flames represent a threshold. If you want to become a first rank god, you must ignite at least nine divine flames. Now that you have ignited six, in a sense, as long as your cultivation is sufficient, you can attempt to condense a divine position.”
However, based on my speculation, even if your cultivation level is sufficient, relying on the Six Paths Divine Fire, you can at most condense a fragmented Ice God's divine position, which theoretically should be at the level of a second-tier god. I wonder if in this world, it's possible to condense a divine position first and then upgrade its level later.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head vigorously. He said, "Teacher, we absolutely cannot condense a divine position first and then improve its level later. This is undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious process that will not bring any good results."
"Oh? Why?" As a scholar, Electrox had an extremely strong thirst for knowledge, and he became curious about Huo Yuhao's remarks.
The other spirits also turned their attention to Huo Yuhao, hoping he would provide an answer.
Huo Yuhao patiently explained, "Because it's too difficult. As you know, I am a reincarnation of a god. In my few memories of my past life, I know that there are also gods in the God Realm who cultivate diligently, wanting to improve their divine status and achieve a leap in their strength and position."
In all the years since the establishment of the divine realm, there has never been a precedent for a deity to ascend to a higher divine rank. Basically, if you are a level two god, you will remain a level two god for life; if you are a level one god, you will remain a level one god for life. Rather than trying to condense a divine position now and achieve a huge short-term increase in strength, it is better to focus on long-term benefits, continue accumulating divine fire, and prepare for condensing the divine king's position.
To be honest, even Tang San hasn't been able to elevate the Sea God's position to the God King level in the current God Realm. In the original story, Tang San did indeed elevate the Sea God's position to the God King level, but according to the timeline, Tang San's Sea God position is still at the level of a first-level god.
As a God King who also holds the central authority of the God Realm, Tang San could undoubtedly collect an astronomical amount of faith power. After all, besides obtaining faith power through the lives of those who believed in him, Tang San could also steal faith power from the God Realm. Of course, the original work did not explicitly state that Tang San stole faith power; it was merely Huo Yuhao's speculation.
It should be noted that Tang San successfully stole the Tang Sect's secret techniques when he was nine years old in his previous life. This kind of action can be said to be a natural talent for stealing the sacred body. So, how could Tang San not seek personal gain after he gained control of the God Realm's central hub?
As the saying goes, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." Under such circumstances, Tang San would definitely steal a wave of faith power. As for the supervision of the God of Destruction, to be honest, the God of Destruction cannot supervise every change in the faith power in the God Realm at all times. Therefore, if the total amount of faith power changes by an extremely small margin, the God of Destruction will not be able to detect it.
Over time, only Tang San himself knows how much faith power he could steal. Otherwise, with Tang San's talent, how could he possibly cultivate the Sea God's position into the God King's position?
In the mortal realm, Tang San could rely on the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline to accelerate his cultivation. However, once he reached the God Realm, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was essentially useless, and naturally, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which Tang San was so proud of, could no longer be effective.
Even Tang San, who was born with the Holy Body, spent many years raising his Sea God status to the God King level. Huo Yuhao certainly didn't have the confidence to first condense a second-level god status in the lower realm and then absorb the power of faith to slowly raise his level.
To be honest, if he were to condense a second-level godhood right now, that godhood would probably be a broken Ice Godhood, which would be somewhat similar to Ma Hongjun's current situation.
After all, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix God position is currently only a second-level god position. However, in its prime, the Phoenix God was a God King and had the dazzling achievement of severely injuring the Dragon God. Although the Phoenix God paid the price of his life for this, even among God Kings, there are different levels. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could severely injure the Dragon God.
“I see.” Electrox nodded, somewhat moved. “Then you do need to continue accumulating divine fire. Even if your cultivation level is high enough in the future, you must accumulate divine fire to the maximum extent you can.”
He then asked, "Yuhao, now that you have condensed six divine flames, besides the increased area of your spiritual sea and the increase in your total spiritual power, what other changes have you experienced?"
“Of course there are other changes as well.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “I have touched more of the authority of ice and water, and my control over ice and water has improved. Moreover, more importantly, I feel that I should be able to try to establish a divine order now.”
Electrox asked with some curiosity, "Trying to establish a divine order now?"
"Yes, let's try to establish subordinate gods now. After all, subordinate gods are deities that are subordinate to me. These deities share my power, spread my divine pronouncements, and fight for me! More importantly, in the process of spreading faith for me, they can share a portion of the faith power given to me by the believers." Huo Yuhao smiled and explained his concept of subordinate gods once again.
To be honest, he didn't mind sharing some power and faith with the followers. After all, the purpose of establishing the followers was essentially to expand the influence of the Ice God and thus gain more faith.
In other words, the person from the god is a salesperson who takes a commission and is responsible for selling the Ice God faith. The better the sales, the more commission they get. As long as the Ice God faith market grows bigger and bigger, even if Huo Yuhao takes a commission from the god, he will never lose money. On the contrary, he will make more and more money.
Electrolux asked with some doubt, "But how do you plan to establish a subordinate god?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Teacher, according to your research, the most basic thing to become a god is divine fire. For most life forms, igniting divine fire is an extremely difficult process! But for gods, it's not so troublesome."
Chapter 481 Separating the Fire from the Position of God
"My idea is very simple: to regard a certain divine fire as the mother fire, and without affecting the foundation of the mother fire, split off some child fires, and bestow these child fires on some souls. They will then possess divine fire. As long as they nurture and strengthen these child fires, one day they will also be able to condense a divine position unique to the gods!"
Huo Yuhao felt that his plan to cultivate gods using sub-fire was feasible even in the Douluo World, since, in a sense, it was a path that predecessors had taken.
In the original work, the way the nine dragon kings were born had some similarities to his Zi Huo Project.
According to the original text, the Dragon God possessed nine attributes during the evolution of his bloodline: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability. The Dragon God bestowed these nine attributes upon the geniuses of the dragon race, and these dragon geniuses were thus promoted to the nine Dragon Kings.
The Dragon God is the king of gods, possessing immense power.
Huo Yuhao's current strength is no match for the Dragon God, so he naturally cannot do what the Dragon God did, bestowing nine attributes upon nine dragon geniuses and elevating them to the nine Dragon Kings. However, he feels that bestowing some sub-fire upon ice attribute soul spirits should not be a problem.
Electrolux pondered Huo Yuhao's words for a moment and decided it was worth a try. He nodded and said, "Yuhao, when you're ready to give the Soul Spirit Flame, I'll be there to support you."
After all, if Huo Yuhao encounters problems during the process of imbuing the sub-flame, Electrolux, who is standing by, can lend a helping hand in time.
"Alright." Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony. He looked at the ice-attribute soul spirits who were eager to try and said quite sincerely, "Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Little White, Atai, Tianmeng, Bajiao, before I give you sub-flames, I must explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of obtaining sub-flames. I have already told you the benefits of obtaining sub-flames, but I also want to tell you the disadvantages."
According to my speculation, once you obtain the Divine Fire and become gods in the future, you will be forever linked to me. If I perish, you will also die. The root cause is that the way you ignite the Divine Fire is different from that of other gods.
"If you obtain the Sub-Fire, your connection with it will be extremely deep; the Sub-Fire will become a part of you, and you will never be able to separate it again. Once I perish, the Divine Fire, as the Mother Fire, will be extinguished, and the Sub-Fire will naturally cease to exist."
The so-called theory of divine intervention was actually found by Huo Yuhao in some Western fantasy novels from his previous life.
In some Western fantasy novels, the main god establishes his own divine kingdom. Within the divine kingdom, there are naturally a group of subordinate gods who belong to the main god. The subordinate gods are attached to the main god, and their power comes from the main god. They are the main god's most loyal subordinates. Once the divine kingdom is destroyed and the main god is killed, the subordinate gods will also perish.
The ice-attribute spirits present were all somewhat moved, knowing that Huo Yuhao had explained the advantages and disadvantages of the sub-fire in order to help them weigh the pros and cons.
In fact, Huo Yuhao could have simply ignored the disadvantages of the sub-fires and forcibly bestowed them upon them. However, Huo Yuhao chose to give them the right to choose, which was undoubtedly a great show of respect.
Some people, after becoming stronger, change their attitude completely and turn their backs on others.
But Huo Yuhao is not that kind of person.
Even now that Huo Yuhao has ignited the Ice God's Flame, he hasn't taken advantage of it to become arrogant and domineering, forcing others to obtain his offspring flames.
In an instant, the spirits' recognition of Huo Yuhao reached a new level.
Xue Di immediately stated: "Yuhao, to me, the so-called disadvantages of Zi Huo are insignificant compared to its benefits! Since you have enjoyed the benefits brought by Zi Huo, you must naturally bear the potential disadvantages that may come with obtaining it."
If I could become your follower god, I would need not worry about the heavenly tribulation that occurs every 100,000 years, and I could live forever. I have always had the desire to become a god, so grant me the Child Fire.
Wearing a long turquoise dress, Hyotei reached out and naturally took Xuedi's arm. She leaned her head on Xuedi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xue'er and I think the same way. We are already your souls now, so we are naturally willing to accept Zi Huo. After all, this is an extremely important step in the plan to become a god. I can't back down at this time."
Tianmeng glanced at Xue Di with some envy, wanting to take her place.
After all, Bingbing took Xue Di's arm and rested her head on Xue Di's shoulder. He had always liked Bingbing, but she had never done anything like this for him. He wondered when he would receive such treatment.
However, even if he doesn't receive such treatment now, as long as he can keep living, he might have a chance to change Bingbing's attitude towards him and get her to accept Zi Huo. In the future, after he condenses the position of a god, it will mean eternal life, which is undoubtedly a very good choice.
He withdrew his gaze, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Yuhao, as the initiator of the Godhood Plan, I feel that the disadvantages of obtaining the Sub-Fire are negligible compared to its benefits! Moreover, without you, I might not have had the chance to become a god at all! Yuhao, I am willing to accept the Sub-Fire!"
Atai said in a deep voice, "Yuhao, although I haven't known you for long, Xue Di has already chosen to support you, so I am naturally willing to trust Xue Di's judgment and accept Zihuo."
Xiao Bai said at this moment, "Whatever Xue Di says goes. I believe Xue Di and am willing to accept Zi Huo."
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass then said, "Me too."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Alright, then don't resist anymore. I will give you six types of sub-fire."
As soon as he finished speaking, the six Ice God Flames in his spiritual sea began to float. Then, the six tiny sub-flames transformed into floating ice forms, separated from the Ice God Flames, and landed directly on the ice-attribute souls present.
A roar resounded, and almost instantly, a faint light emanated from the ice-attribute spirits, ripples spreading out as the sub-fire and these spirits quickly merged into one.
The next moment, the six ice-attribute soul spirits flew out of Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness and came to the outside world, ready to test the changes in their own strength after obtaining the sub-fire, which was very important to them.
Their appearance immediately drew gasps from the Northern Soul Beasts below. Although the Northern Soul Beasts were not very familiar with Tianmeng and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, they were extremely familiar with the Three Heavenly Kings of the North and the Ice Bear King.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the Snow Empress, the Northern Soul Beasts excitedly shouted her name. This was partly because the Snow Empress held a very high position in the Northern Lands, and partly because she had welcomed the Ice God back to the Northern Lands.
Chapter 482: Would saying this be too hurtful to him?
Seeing the excited Northern Soul Beasts, the Snow Empress immediately spoke to calm them down, and then she began to study the changes that the Sub-Fire had brought to her.
She stretched out her hand, using all her strength, and pointed towards the mountain peak ahead. A powerful blizzard immediately swept across the mountain, howling as it went, and the temperature plummeted.
"This...minus 230 degrees Celsius?" She was shocked. You see, because Huo Yuhao had helped her purify the Ice God bloodline, the temperature at which she made her move could reach a full minus 220 degrees Celsius.
Keep in mind that even at her peak, the extreme temperature when she took action was only minus 205 degrees Celsius.
The power of ultimate ice largely depends on how low the temperature is. Generally speaking, the lower the temperature, the greater the power of ultimate ice. Previously, the pure bloodline of the Ice God had already brought about the first leap in the power of her ultimate ice.
Now that she has obtained the Sub-Fire, the extreme low temperature she can reach minus 230 degrees Celsius when she takes action is undoubtedly a much greater increase in power. Although on the surface, purifying the Ice God's bloodline brings her greater temperature benefits, this is not actually the case.
For those who possess the ultimate ice attribute, lowering the temperature is undoubtedly something that requires a lot of talent and effort. Moreover, lowering the temperature is similar to Soul Master cultivation; the further you go, the more difficult it becomes, but the greater the improvement it brings.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. In this way, as the sub-fire grows stronger, she will definitely get closer and closer to absolute zero. Perhaps one day, she will really be able to reach the level of absolute zero.
Sure enough, following Yuhao, the road ahead was ultimately bright.
"Moreover, I can feel that my control over ice and water attributes has become stronger."
To paraphrase Yuhao, could this be considered a slight intrusion into the authority of ice and water?
Thinking of this, she found a snow lotus on another mountain peak, and the inner fire within her body began to stir.
The next moment, the snow lotus withered, and an icy blue light appeared.
She could sense that the snow lotus had completely lost its ice and water attributes. So, with a slight thought, she sent down an icy blue light, and the snow lotus regained its ice and water attributes.
"It's much weaker than Yuhao's mother fire, but that's normal. It would be strange if the mother fire were weaker than the child fire." Xue Di sighed.
Meanwhile, the other ice-attribute spirits were doing something similar to the Snow Emperor, all in order to test the effects of the sub-fire.
Huo Yuhao could understand the behavior of these spirits. After all, the sub-fire was a novel thing for them, so it was normal for them to be excited.
Soon, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and studied the group of souls again. He discovered that the sub-fire had another very important function: it allowed the ice-attribute souls who had already obtained the sub-fire to maintain a considerable distance from Huo Yuhao, although it required some faith power to maintain this.
After a while, the ice-attribute spirits' excitement subsided, and they all came to Huo Yuhao's back, surrounding him as if he were the leader.
After all, Huo Yuhao is now the "Ice God". Even the Snow Emperor is merely the ruler of the far north, not the master of the far north. If the far north really has a master, the Ice God, whom the far north soul beasts worship, is naturally the most deserving.
At this moment, all the Northern Soul Beasts raised their heads and gazed at Huo Yuhao in the sky, their eyes filled with reverence. After all, he was the Ice God, whom the Northern Soul Beasts collectively worshipped. In fact, all the Northern Soul Beasts were the Ice God's subjects.
Huo Yuhao looked at the spirit beasts of the far north and announced, "My people, I am leaving the far north!"
Upon hearing this, the beasts of the far north were in an uproar, as they did not actually want the Ice God to leave the far north.
After all, according to legend, the Ice God is the source of power for all the Northern Soul Beasts, and the Ice God's actions have raised the overall strength of the Northern Soul Beasts to a new level.
However, they could not disobey the Ice God's command. For a time, the spirit beasts of the far north were somewhat depressed, and the light in their eyes dimmed slightly.
Huo Yuhao noticed this and continued, "My people, I am only leaving temporarily and will return. Moreover, I will leave Atai, the current ruler of the Far North, to you. During my absence, Atai will continue to govern the Far North."
