Chapter 100: The Path to Godhood! Following One's Own Choice! (Please follow and read!)

Xuanyuan Wuji looked at Xue Feihua.

"Do you have any ideas? I have no clue how to condense a divine core."

Xue Feihua nodded and said:

"I've already tried before. With a divine core fragment as a guide, you can attempt to condense a divine core, but it requires a massive amount of experience points."

"Requires a massive amount of experience points? You mean, you can only accumulate experience points while at max level without having class-changed, and use that to condense a divine core?"

Lu Zheng grasped the crux of the problem.

Xue Feihua gave Lu Zheng an approving glance — this was indeed the most unusual part.

"Becoming a god is actually a class change. Reaching the level four hundred milestone, you can perform a class change; reaching the level five hundred milestone, you can also perform a class change.

At level four hundred, if you want to perform a class change, the Class Change Temple can no longer issue you quests.

You must accumulate a massive amount of experience points, then use it to master divine power, only then can you break the shackles and become a demigod.

At that point, if you can condense a divine core, you can become a god."

"If you can become a god just by condensing your own divine core, then what's the point of inheriting a divine throne?"

Lu Zheng asked in confusion.

Xue Feihua continued to explain:

"The difficulty is different. Inheriting a divine throne, you only need to complete the trial — condensing a divine core is just a matter of time, getting enough experience points is all it takes.

But without inheriting a divine throne, condensing a divine core yourself requires an astronomical amount of experience points. Even killing demigod-level monsters, you'd probably need several hundred or more to accumulate enough.

Moreover, you need to level up step by step — you can't class-change into a god at max Saint level, and it's even more impossible to directly become a High God in one step. You can only advance one level at a time.

And there's the risk of condensation failure!"

Lu Zheng understood.

He could entirely take the path of condensing his own divine core.

Because his summoned beasts' levels would definitely be ahead of his own. Every class change, he would accumulate a massive amount of experience points — so much that even after directly reaching the max level required for the next class change, there would still be a surplus.

For him, self-advancement and obtaining a divine core uniquely his own was the most suitable path.

After all, even inheriting the God King Throne could not match the position of Master of All Divine Beasts in his heart.

He needed a higher position!

"I happen to need to help my summoned beasts level up too. How about this — I'll help you gain experience points along the way, so I can also get a rough sense of how much experience is needed for divine throne inheritance. What do you think, Senior?"

Lu Zheng looked at Xue Feihua and asked.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Wuji nodded and said:

"Lu Zheng helping you is a good fit. He has many summoned beasts and comprehensive combat power — not just in this dungeon, going to the nearby Throne of Bones dungeon, he can also help you level up faster."

"I'll listen to Brother Wuji!"

Xue Feihua looked at Xuanyuan Wuji and said gently.

Lu Zheng now strongly suspected that what Xuanyuan Wuji had told him back then was probably also true.

He just wanted to go have fun with young, pretty girls — and Xue Feihua was one of them!

"I'll leave this place to you. I'm off!"

Xuanyuan Wuji left Xue Feihua with his retreating back, leaving her staring for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"Then I'll trouble you to help me level up."

Xue Feihua turned her head and smiled.

Lu Zheng suddenly thought of a question and asked:

"Senior, aren't you afraid that after inheriting a divine throne and ascending to the Divine Realm, you'll never be able to see Senior Xuanyuan again?"

The smile on Xue Feihua's face vanished as she looked in the direction Xuanyuan Wuji had left.

"I'm afraid! But whatever Brother Wuji needs me to do, I'll do!"

Lu Zheng nodded, then turned to look at the monsters nearby.

"Let's begin! I'm really looking forward to seeing exactly how many experience points it takes to complete a Lower God's class change." The Ice Nation dungeon and the Throne of Bones dungeon had a large number of monsters, especially the Throne of Bones dungeon — that True God Hellfire was still persistently sending demigod-level undead over here, and all of these undead were slain by Lu Zheng and Xue Feihua.

Xue Feihua was only level four hundred, so killing demigods yielded a lot of experience points.

Time quickly passed — over nine days. On this day, Xue Feihua's accumulated experience points reached ten thousand percent! "I think it's enough. I'm going to start condensing my divine core!"

Xue Feihua said to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng asked:

"Do you need me to notify Senior Xuanyuan for you?"

Xue Feihua shook her head and said:

"No need! We'll definitely meet again. Don't disturb him — he has his own things to do."

Lu Zheng fell silent.

Xue Feihua's feelings for Xuanyuan Wuji were obvious to see, yet she never clung to him — she only expressed, only supported, only used what help she could offer to make things a little easier for Xuanyuan Wuji.

This kind of feeling was truly too pure — Lu Zheng was even a little envious.

Having lived two lives, and possessing an adult's mind since childhood in this one, it was very hard for him to fall in love. He had always had a mild, even-tempered nature.

Ice froze Xue Feihua. In this moment, she seemed to merge with the entire snow mountain, with the environment here, into one.

Lu Zheng kept watching her with the True Eye.

Her experience points rapidly depleted. The divine power within the divine core fragment was absorbed into her body, and immediately after, a crystal was born within her.

That was a divine core! The process of inheriting a divine throne was indeed very smooth — just a conversion of experience points, and the divine core gradually took shape.

When the divine core fully solidified, the ice and snow on Xue Feihua's body melted away, and her aura underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

【Character: Xue Feihua】

【Level: ***】

Because she had gone directly from a level 400 Saint-rank Maxed professional to a Lower True God above level 500, exceeding Lu Zheng—who was only level 150—by over 300 levels, her level and information were no longer visible.

Lu Zheng looked at her and asked, "Congratulations, Senior, on becoming a god! May I ask whether Senior can still remain in the lower realm now?"

Xue Feihua nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! However, a god's level in the lower realm will be suppressed to 500, and all attributes will also be substantially reduced overall."

Lu Zheng said in pleasant surprise, "So you mean, once a god comes to the lower realm, they will only have the strength of a Maxed Demigod?"

"For now, that is the case."

Xue Feihua paused, then said with a solemn expression, "But it may not necessarily be so in the future."

Right at this moment, a figure flew over from not far away.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xue Feihua immediately cried out in pleasant surprise, "Brother Wuji!"

After Xuanyuan Wuji saw Xue Feihua's current state, he laughed out loud.

"Good! Finally, success! We have a Lower God too!"

Xue Feihua stepped forward and said, "Brother Wuji! I don't need to go to the upper realm. I can stay in the lower realm, but my cultivation and strength will be restricted to the Maxed Demigod level."

"Good! Very good! Now we have a guarantee of combat power!"

Xuanyuan Wuji exclaimed once more.

But he immediately thought of another question.

"If you stay in the lower realm, can you still continue to increase your strength?"

The smile on Xue Feihua's face stiffened for a moment.

"I can increase it, but it will be very slow. After becoming a god, killing monsters below god-rank no longer grants experience points. To continue raising my level, I must either kill monsters at True God rank or above, or slowly cultivate on my own to increase my divine power.

Divine power can also be increased in the lower realm; it will just be a bit slower than in the upper realm."

Judging by her expression, it was clearly not as simple as just being a bit slower—it was definitely much slower.
