But if you’re already this surprised... then what do you think will happen when you learn what comes next?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion burst out laughing. \"Of course I’m surprised. I mean, you literally injected that knowledge into my head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah, I know. But even though you already know it, you still don’t truly understand it yet, right?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Yeah. That’s why I told you to keep explaining. I know you’re basically mocking me right now, so just get on with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas let out a low laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Haha, sure, sure. But there’s one more thing that’ll surprise you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projection shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This Inner World? It’s only the beginning because it’s still unstable.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded again. \"Yeah, I can tell it’s incomplete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly. The natural laws inside it are still flawed, so the world can collapse if the cultivator loses control.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his chin, thinking deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Atlas finally revealed the last projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it appeared, even Garion unconsciously straightened his posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive world floated inside the figure’s body. Unlike the incomplete one from before, this was a true, fully formed world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And inside it... civilizations already existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cities, buildings, and structures filled the land, so advanced and organized that Garion instantly recognized the signs of intelligent life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In many ways, they even resembled the societies from his old lower world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at it in silence for a moment before speaking. \"So this is the real God Realm, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Indeed. At this stage, the Inner World stabilizes completely and evolves into a true world.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And the grade of a god depends entirely on the grade of the world within them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projection split into three separate images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Low Grade World.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Intermediate Grade World.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[High Grade World.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If the Inner World is Low Grade, then the cultivator becomes a Low Grade God.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If the world reaches the Intermediate Grade, then the cultivator becomes an Intermediate Grade God.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And naturally, High Grade Worlds create High Grade Gods.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slowly nodded as he absorbed everything. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression gradually turned serious. \"So in the greater universe... the gap between realms is way bigger than anything we knew before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Far bigger.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion lowered his gaze to his own hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the lower world, becoming strong enough to shatter mountains or dominate entire continents had already seemed unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now... That world had only been the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly laughed softly and shook his head. \"Damn...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grin slowly spread across his face. \"So this is the real civilization you were talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Indeed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pushed himself fully to his feet this time, and instead of fear, excitement surged through his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then something suddenly clicked as he looked back up at Atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... the god who gave you to me.\" His eyes narrowed slightly. \"What level is she exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in a while, Atlas didn’t answer immediately. A few moments passed before he finally responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[For now... you don’t need to know.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned right away. \"The hell kind of answer is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because the moment you know, it will only pressure you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, then froze as the realization hit him. \"Wait... you mean she’s above a High Grade God?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Far above.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion had already thought High Grade Gods sounded completely absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entire worlds existing inside their bodies already felt impossible to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Atlas was casually telling him there were beings even beyond that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue. \"So High Grade God isn’t even the top, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course not.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The universe is far larger than you currently understand. You’ll see it for yourself eventually.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a long breath and shook his head with a tired laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn... every time I learn something new, I realize I actually know nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That’s normal.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked down at his hand again, flexing his fingers slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another thought suddenly hit him. \"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned aside. \"What about my God Physique? You said even gods are interested in me. Why? I’m not even in the Star Realm yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned serious. \"And how the hell am I even supposed to become a god? I don’t even have an Inner World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas fell silent for a moment before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because you and the others born with God Physiques are different from normal cultivators.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a brow. \"Different how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Most gods require faith.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"Faith?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas casually waved his hand, and countless projections appeared around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside them were billions of worshippers kneeling before gigantic divine beings that towered over entire worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Most gods gather faith from their followers.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That faith is then transformed into divine power, divine mana, divine energy... call it whatever you want.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned as he listened, trying to process it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But hold on.\" He pointed upward slightly. \"Didn’t the divine knowledge say cosmic mana itself is already divine energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It is.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately looked confused. \"Then why do they need worshippers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because the divine energy naturally spread throughout the universe is impure.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new projection appeared beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side showed muddy water. The other showed perfectly clear water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Think of it like this.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The cosmic energy drifting through the universe is muddy water.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[True divine energy is clear water.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes slowly widened as understanding began to dawn on him. \"So normal cultivators can’t absorb the pure version...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Most cultivators cannot directly process true divine energy. Their bodies, souls, and very existence are not advanced enough.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That is why they must first evolve into gods.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms again, deep in thought. \"And becoming a god lets them filter that energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas gestured toward the endless worshippers in the projections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Or they use faith as a filtering medium.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at the kneeling figures carefully. \"So the worshippers refine the energy for them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Faith purifies the impure cosmic energy into divine energy compatible with the god receiving it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion finally nodded slowly. \"So that’s why gods care so much about believers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Garion’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Slowly, he looked down at himself. \"My God Physique...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You finally realized.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s mouth twitched faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the God Physique...\" He slowly clenched his fist. \"...can directly absorb true divine energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your physique already possesses godlike characteristics.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In simple terms, your body naturally filters divine energy on its own.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared blankly ahead for several seconds.
