Chapter 446 Divine Power Level 2
Chapter 446 The Second Level of Divine Power
"The origin is revealed, encompassing three thousand lifetimes."
Chen Yuan pondered the name, then nodded. "It's a good name. Your naming skills are indeed much better than mine."
If he follows his usual practice, he will most likely name it "Origin Universe Architecture Method," which is concise and clear.
"Irelia," Chen Yuan asked, "have you experienced any changes in strength since breaking through to True God?"
"Yes, Master."
Ireil replied, "In terms of divine power, compared to my time as the Lord of the Universe, I have improved by about a thousand times. This is mainly due to the hundredfold increase in my major realm and the nearly one hundred thousandfold increase brought about by my genes."
"Of course, in the Cosmic Sea region, no matter how strong my divine power is, I can only exert a basic power of ten thousand times that of a Cosmic Lord."
Chen Yuan nodded; of course he knew that.
Because after he researched the path of divine power, although his genetic level had reached 42000 times, without considering external amplification, he could only actually exert the power of his genes by 10,000 times.
The improvement in genetic level at most increases the body's defensive capabilities and reserves of divine power; it has little impact on Chen Yuan's upper limit of strength.
"Besides divine power, are there any other changes?"
"Yes," Irele said. "After breaking through to True God, my True God Heart has completely merged with the secret techniques of the Virtual Universe."
"Although once the heart of the true god is shattered, the virtual universe will also become completely ineffective."
"But correspondingly, after fully merging with the arcane arts, my true god's heart has been placed in the core of the origin of the virtual universe, and this place is located in the deepest part of the illusory world."
"In theory, only those who have a deep grasp of the power of illusion can find the place of origin, and only after breaking through the defenses of the place of origin can they have a chance to break through the heart of the true god and thus destroy the virtual universe."
"Break through the defenses of the Origin Land?" Chen Yuan's expression was strange, because he knew that the Origin Land was the core of the virtual universe, and also the place where the virtual universe could unleash its strongest power.
Given the current quality of the virtual universe, no eternal true god could break through the defenses of the Origin Land; only a Chaos Overlord specializing in illusory power would have a chance.
Such a powerful individual cannot be found even once in the entire Origin Continent!
Because there is no Great Dao of Soul in the entire Origin World, even if we only study one branch, we cannot find any reference.
Even a powerful being who has mastered the Great Dao of Cause and Effect must first undergo layers of weakening by illusory power before they have any chance of touching the heart of a true god if they want to kill someone by following the power of cause and effect.
To forcibly erase someone using the power of cause and effect, Chen Yuan felt that at least one would need to be a powerful expert who had mastered a complete branch of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. To put it bluntly, only a first-level God King would be able to do it.
In other words, although Irelia now has the weakness of "the heart of a true god", under the protection of the virtual universe, even the Chaos Ruler cannot completely erase her.
This ability to save one's life is even more powerful than immortality for a true god.
And this is still the power of the eternal virtual universe. If he optimizes it to the chaos level in the future, the protective ability of the Origin Land will soar by several levels.
At that time, perhaps only a God-King at the ultimate level who cultivates the Dao of Cause and Effect would have a chance to break through the defense.
"Not bad, a very powerful ability."
Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "The Origin Continent is fraught with danger. With your ability to protect yourself, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"Master, you flatter me." Irene smiled slightly: "Actually, besides saving my life, I also gained a new ability after the fusion, which is to create clones."
"A clone?!" Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Is it one of those illusory clones?"
"Yes and no."
Irele shook her head and explained, "Although my clone ability is also an application of illusory power, what I create is not an illusory clone, but a body similar to the hundred terminal cores from before."
"As long as I have enough divine power, I can create an infinite number of clones, but these clones share the same upper limit of my divine power."
"In other words, when all the power of my clones is added together, it is exactly the same as the power of my original self at its peak."
"So—" Chen Yuan said thoughtfully, "It sounds similar to an illusory clone, but it seems even worse than an illusory clone because it takes away the power of your main body."
"Master's insight is indeed keen; that is certainly true."
Ireil smiled and said, "But correspondingly, each of these clones is equivalent to my original body, making it difficult to be locked by the power of causality."
"Just like your River of Immortality, as long as one of my clones survives, I can quickly recover to my peak condition."
"I see." Chen Yuan nodded. This ability to create clones, combined with the hidden Heart of a True God, can be said to have maximized his ability to protect himself.
"Aside from these, the final change was my computing power."
Ireil added, "Before the breakthrough, I had already fully absorbed the computing power of those one hundred cores. On this basis, when I broke through to the True God realm, my computing power also increased a hundredfold."
"Master, I only need one ten-thousandth of the computing power to maintain the current operation of the virtual universe. Even when supplying your cultivation space, it will not exceed five ten-thousandths at most."
"As for the remaining computing power, you can borrow it at any time through the virtual universe."
At this point, Irene paused, then added, "Of course, considering your capacity, I suggest you borrow no more than 10% of the computing power for now."
"If you take any more, I'm worried your body won't be able to handle it."
"I understand." Chen Yuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't hurt myself."
For him, even 10% of the computing power was already very strong, at least ten times more than what he could borrow before.
Such a powerful speed of thought processing is basically the limit for Chen Yuan's current level of life, even after he has increased his genes by 42000 times.
If it were back when the genes were 10,000 times stronger, he could only handle 5% of the computing power. After all, the brain structures of flesh-and-blood life forms and intelligent life forms are completely different, and the speed of thought they can handle is also different.
"These are all the changes I've undergone since breaking through to the True God realm, Master."
With that, Irene's report was complete.
"I understand," Chen Yuan said gently. "You've just broken through, so you need time to familiarize yourself with the new methods and update your secret techniques. Go into seclusion as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master."
After ascending to the True God realm, Irelia indeed had many secret techniques to cultivate. The two quickly parted ways, with Chen Yuan returning to the interior of the Tomb Ship, while Irelia herself remained in the miniature universe.
Several days later, the virtual universe successfully entered its final stage, and its illusory power was greatly enhanced.
The illusory clones that Chen Yuan and his servant have now formed have reached a power ceiling of 50% of their peak strength, and that was when they first entered the Great Perfection stage of the virtual universe.
If the secret technique is perfected, they will master one-tenth of the power of the complete illusory branch, and can easily condense an illusory clone with 100% power.
In addition, the other major ability of the Illusionary Branch, Illusionization, has been greatly enhanced. It can now be immune to all attacks from late-stage Void Gods and reduce attacks from Eternal Gods to one ten-thousandth!
Inside the tomb-like vessel, Chen Yuan only scratched the surface before stopping, his main focus remaining on his research into divine power.
Since Ireil ascended to the True God realm with her Infinite Divine Body, Chen Yuan felt a sense of urgency, as being overtaken by his subordinates was not a pleasant experience.
So after returning to the Tomb Ship, he immediately borrowed 10% of the computing power to accelerate his research.
It must be said that with the support of computing power, Chen Yuan's research efficiency improved dramatically, at least several dozen times that of before.
With the cooperation of the main body and the Soul Devouring Beast clone, the remaining materials are being analyzed at an astonishing speed.
Under these circumstances, Chen Yuan naturally devoted himself entirely to it, which is why he didn't have time to carefully experience the new illusory power.
However, Irene is different.
Since breaking through to the True God realm, the affairs of the virtual universe no longer occupy her energy, so she now has plenty of time to figure out how to improve herself.
As one of the branches of the Soul Path, the power of illusion is arguably the only highest-level power she can currently access, so Irene has been researching how to apply these powers during this time.
Thanks to Chen Yuan's experience, she has already mastered the essentials of abilities such as illusory clones and etherealization. Currently, she is trying to apply this power to offense, preparing to create a powerful offensive secret technique.
But just a few days later, the noise from the outside world forced Irene to suspend her research, because she sensed that some people had come from outside her miniature universe.
It must be that this newly emerged miniature universe has been discovered. After all, after the evolution of her divine kingdom ended, the newly born miniature universe was squeezed out by the original universe and is currently wandering around the universe.
Normally, a small universe wouldn't attract much attention, but a newly emerged one is different, especially since it's located so close to the original universe.
This means that another supreme being was born in the primordial universe—now called the True God.
This situation naturally attracted the attention of nearby life forms. After all, true gods were already top-tier beings in the primordial universe, and each additional one would reshape the entire universe's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or pattern of the universe).
These people dared not break in; they merely touched the outer edge of the cosmic crystal wall. This action could attract the attention of the universe's master without being seen as a provocation—it was simply knocking on someone's door.
Therefore, Irene couldn't simply expel these people. To avoid future trouble, she had no choice but to step forward and let the outside world know her identity.
Irene quickly came outside and immediately saw the guys knocking on her door in the distance. Surprisingly, she recognized both of them.
"Dream Demon Ancestor, Tremor Demon Ancestor."
Ireil looked up at the two progenitors of the demon race: "What do you want with me?"
The two demon ancestors exchanged a glance. It was the first time they had seen Ireil's appearance, and they did not recognize her identity, but she clearly recognized them.
Then the Dream Demon Ancestor stepped forward and said, "Friend, we have just discovered a new small universe here and realized that a new strongest being has been born in the original universe, so we thought we would come and say hello."
"Oh," Irene replied casually. "Now that I've said goodbye, I'll head back if there's nothing else."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back.
"etc."
The Dream Demon Ancestor hurriedly said, "My friend, you are unaware that the current structure of the primordial universe is completely different from the past. Everyone, especially true god powerhouses, must be incorporated into the management system of the virtual universe."
"We are here on patrol to inform all the newly promoted powerhouses of this matter. This friend looks unfamiliar; he probably hasn't had a chance to join yet."
"Actually, it's not complicated. Friend, you just need to register your name and information in the virtual universe. Under normal circumstances, all members are completely free, and all tasks are entirely voluntary."
As he spoke, the Dream Demon Ancestor took out a virtual universe connector and handed it to Irelia.
"————" Irene glanced at the two of them with a strange expression: "You want me to join the virtual universe? Don't you know who I am?"
"?"
The two demon ancestors exchanged another glance and whispered to each other, "Do you know her?" "No."
After the exchange, the Dream Demon Ancestor lowered his head and asked in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, you look somewhat unfamiliar. May I ask which lone traveler you are?"
"I'm not a lone wolf." Irene shook her head, thought it over carefully, and realized that it seemed that not many people knew her.
Then she said, "You don't need to guess anymore. I am Ireil, a servant of the Primordial Lord, an intelligent life form, and the administrator of the virtual universe."
"Although you have never met me, I remember all your information very clearly."
Upon hearing these words, the two demon ancestors were startled and exchanged a glance.
Administrator of the virtual universe? Servants of the Primordial Lord?
After regaining his senses, the Dream Demon Ancestor gave a wry smile: "So it was the envoy in person. I'm sorry, my eyesight is poor, I didn't recognize you."
"It's alright," Irele said calmly. "I only appeared in the world in my true form after my breakthrough. Before that, I was inside the virtual universe doing management work, so it's normal that you didn't recognize me."
"But since you're here, perfect, pass on a message for me."
"I have just broken through to the True God realm and need to go into seclusion to cultivate for a while. I don't want to be disturbed, so please don't bother me unless necessary. If you need anything, just talk to me in the virtual universe."
"Understood." The Dream Demon Ancestor nodded. "Envoy, please focus on your cultivation. We will convey your message."
"Um."
Irene nodded slightly, and with a thought, transferred 500 points of the Great Dao Source to each of them through the virtual universe.
"Consider this money as a fee I entrusted to you; please keep it."
The two demon ancestors received the payment notification instantly, and were both surprised and delighted.
Currently, only the administrators of the Primordial Tower can directly distribute the Source of the Great Dao, which means that the white-haired girl in front of them was indeed not lying to them!
Moreover, 500 per person is equivalent to two top-tier treasures. It's just a matter of delivering a message, so this task is incredibly easy.
"Yes, thank you for the gift, envoy!"
The Dream Demon Ancestor said excitedly, "I will definitely do as you say and spread the message."
"Okay, go ahead." After saying that, Irene turned around and walked into the miniature universe.
After she disappeared, the two demon ancestors outside breathed a sigh of relief. Demon Ancestor Zhen said, "I didn't expect to run into this ancestor. Fortunately, we were quite well-behaved just now."
"Indeed," the Dream Demon Ancestor exclaimed, "The Primordial Lord's intelligent servant has actually broken through to the True God realm. This is truly big news."
"But that makes sense. Since she can manage a vast virtual universe, she must at least be the ruler of the universe to do so. She just hasn't shown herself before."
Zhen Yaozu nodded and then asked, "Now even the servants of the Primordial Lord have broken through to True God. I wonder when the Primordial Lord himself is preparing to break through?"
"I don't know." The Dream Demon Ancestor shook his head. "With his talent and the inheritance of an ancient civilization, the threshold of True God will probably not stop him. His breakthrough is probably just around the corner."
"The fact that there has been no breakthrough now suggests that this Primordial Lord may have other considerations."
Having exhausted their wealth due to the resurrection of the Dream Demon Ancestor, the demon race is now penniless and cannot afford the inheritance of ancient civilizations, so they are naturally unaware of the information on the "path of divine power".
However, as Chen Yuan's old rival, the Dream Demon Ancestor knew this Primordial Lord quite well and could guess that the reason why the other party did not break through must be that he had other plans.
As for what exactly it is, they have no idea and can only hope to find the answer in the future through inheritance.
"Let's go, let's finish this primordial envoy's task first, after all, he paid us."
The Dream Demon Ancestor smiled slightly: "If we accumulate 100,000 Sources of the Great Dao as soon as possible and advance to the first-level ally, we can exchange for the inheritance a day earlier."
"you're right."
Zhen Yaozu said, "Mengcha, let's split into two groups. You will announce it to the interior of the primordial universe, and I will deliver the message to the various races of the cosmic sea, so that no one will be so foolish as to offend the messenger."
"Alright, you've thought of everything," said the Dream Demon Ancestor. "Then let's set off as soon as possible."
After saying this, the two progenitors of the demon race parted ways, one returning to the primordial universe and the other heading to the depths of the cosmic sea.
As time went by, more and more people received this news: the Primordial Lord's intelligent servant had been promoted to a True God and was currently in seclusion within a small universe, and no outsiders were allowed to disturb him.
In an instant, the entire universe was in an uproar. It was not surprising that the Primordial Lord had advanced to a True God, but the fact that a mere soul servant could also advance was truly astonishing to many.
But when they thought about the fact that this soul servant was the administrator of the virtual universe, they felt it was somewhat natural.
After all these years, the virtual universe has become widespread among all races in the universe. Such a magical network with such a huge coverage must be very difficult to manage.
To become the administrator of the virtual universe, this intelligent being must have extraordinary abilities. In addition, since the other party is a servant of the Primordial Lord, it makes sense that he was able to break through to the True God realm.
However, the news of Ireil's breakthrough still made the cosmic lords of the Cosmic Sea extremely envious. Of course, they also wanted to break through, but they could not find an opportunity. If only they could become servants of the Primordial Lord.
Unfortunately, ever since the Divine Eye True Lord became the soul servant of the Primordial Lord three thousand years ago, the Lord has had no intention of taking in servants again. Even though many cosmic lords later went to the Primordial Tower to recommend themselves, none of them were able to get the chance.
Otherwise, Chen Yuan would have no fewer than a hundred servants under his command, more than the number of powerful beings in the original universe's human race.
However, with the news of Ireil's breakthrough to True God, many people are curious: why hasn't such a powerful Primordial Lord broken through yet?
Logically speaking, this level shouldn't have been too difficult for him, since even the opponent's servants had successfully broken through it.
Why hasn't he broken through? Is it because he's injured? Or is there a problem with his cultivation? Everyone was discussing it.
As these rumors spread further and further, they finally attracted the attention of some people.
The Eastern Emperor Holy Land sent people out directly to clarify and tell everyone that in addition to the Law route, there is an even more powerful Divine Power route for the Lord of the Universe to advance to True God.
Then, information about the divine power route spread throughout the cosmic sea, and everyone realized that the Lord of the Universe wanted to advance to the level of a true god, and besides studying the laws, there was an even more powerful route.
So these people began to speculate: with the Primordial Lord's talent, how many eras would it take to break through if he followed the path of divine power?
According to the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, even with great talent, the path of divine power is not easy to follow. Even the first level, which is only slightly stronger than the path of laws, requires at least hundreds of thousands of epochs to succeed.
As for the more powerful second level, it wouldn't be surprising if it took billions of epochs to study, while the final level might not yield any results even if studied until the end of reincarnation.
The difficulty of the Divine Power Path frightened many powerful individuals, and also aroused their curiosity. With such a powerful talent as the Primordial Lord, how long would it take for him to succeed?
Inside the tomb ship in the area of black-patterned stone pillars.
Three hundred years.
After Ireil's breakthrough, Chen Yuan only took three hundred years to successfully complete a brand-new life structure diagram, enabling his genes to break through the 60,000-fold limit and enter the second level!
