Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 972 - 124: The Path to Becoming a God

Becoming a God.

What an alluring phrase.

For Yun Sheng, who had been educated under atheism for over twenty years, "God" used to be an extremely unfamiliar term.

Even after coming to the Wuji Continent, Yun Sheng still didn’t immediately accept the concept of "God."

Even if there were gods, they were merely referred to as Magic Gods, Martial Gods, Beast Gods, and the like.

These so-called "gods" are mostly people of tremendous strength who are addressed with reverence.

It’s not to say they really are gods.

Because, no matter how powerful someone is, there’s a limit to human strength, and their lifespan is finite, leading to their eventual demise.

It wasn’t until the appearance of Bo Bo that Yun Sheng realized there truly was a Divine World on the continent.

In the Divine World, there live truly immortal and ageless beings from the Divine Race.

Moreover, the Human World surprisingly has a special method to become a god.

That is to find the Path of Godhood, pass the trials on the Divine Road, and become a member of the Divine World.

But does the so-called Path of Godhood really exist in this world?

Seeing Yun Sheng and Bo Bo both looking skeptical,

the Totem Vermilion Bird explained tirelessly.

"Master, the one beside you should be the Realm Divine Beast of the Human World, right? I believe it has told you too that there are many different planes beyond this continent of the Human Clan," the Totem Vermilion Bird recognized the Realm Divine Beast beside Yun Sheng.

"It’s the Realm Divine Beast of the Human World, so why does it look like such a mess?" The Totem White Tiger looked as if it had seen a ghost.

The Realm Divine Beast is extraordinary; its numbers are even rarer than the average Divine Beast.

The Totem White Tiger, which was merely a Demigod Beast level existence, had seen Divine Beasts before that were tall and powerful, exuding an authoritative pressure vast as the sea.

But the thing in front of them, with its nauseating color and fur all wavy and curly, didn’t look anything like a Demon Beast.

Shouldn’t Demon Beasts be terrifying, bloodthirsty, and ferocious?

Tsk tsk, looking like this, just seeing it feels like a devaluation, yet it is actually the Realm Divine Beast of the Human World?

"Bo Bo, you simple-minded, muscle-brained dumb cat, you’re just jealous, envious, and resentful of this deity whom everyone loves!" Bo Bo was extremely displeased; how dare this blasted White Tiger look down on it.

"White Tiger, show some respect, the Realm Divine Beast is not yet mature," the Totem Vermilion Bird shot a glance at the White Tiger.

Yun Sheng recalled that Bo Bo had indeed mentioned some things about different planes.

The Human Clan and the Beast Clan live together in the Human World.

Besides the Human World, there is also the Netherworld where the spirits, Ghostly Evil, and Chi Mei live, and beyond that, the Divine World.

Each different realm is overseen by a specific Realm Divine Beast.

Under the supervision of the Realm Divine Beasts, the entities from the Human Clan, Divine Race, and Netherworld Clan of different realms cannot freely interact.

Otherwise, the lack of order between realms would inevitably lead to great turmoil.

As everyone knows, among the several great realms, the Divine World is the most prosperous and powerful, for the gods of the Divine World possess eternal life.

Thus, whether it’s the Netherworld Clan or the Human Clan and Beast Clan, they’ve been searching for the Path of Godhood for many years.

Some strong individuals succeeded.

They either pioneered or found the Path of Godhood.

No matter if they found it or created it, those who completed the Path of Godhood could gain eternal life and smoothly reach the Divine World to become a god.

The owner of the Nine Flames Bracelet, Emperor Jiu Yan, was one of them.

Once upon a time, the Four Great Totem Divine Beasts served under Emperor Jiu Yan.

As for why the Four Great Totem Divine Beasts came to the Human World, it was all due to the White Tiger’s extremely sharp tongue.

The Four Great Totem Divine Beasts originally followed Emperor Jiu Yan in becoming gods and ventured into the Divine World as newly promoted Divine Beasts.

But once, the Totem White Tiger unintentionally offended an Upper God of the Divine World and was nearly slaughtered.

Thanks to Emperor Jiu Yan’s plea, the Totem White Tiger was sent back to the Human World to retrain its Divine Essence; the Four Great Totem Divine Beasts shared a deep bond, having once followed Emperor Jiu Yan to become gods.

The other three Totem Divine Beasts thus returned along with the Totem White Tiger to the Human World to remold their Divine Essence.

Before departing, Emperor Jiu Yan said that should the Four Great Totem Sacred Beasts one day meet a new master capable of awakening them simultaneously, it would signify that the Nine Flames Divine Road is about to open, and the Four Great Totem Divine Beasts will return to their place, heading back to the Divine World.

"So the new master should understand that the so-called Path of Godhood is the Divine Road left behind by predecessors who became gods. For instance, the Divine Road left by Emperor Jiu Yan when he became a god is the Nine Flames Divine Road," the Totem Vermilion Bird explained concisely regarding the origins of the Path of Godhood.

"Vermilion Bird, are you saying there’s a Nine Flames Divine Road leading to the Divine World within the Emperor’s Tomb, that those who take this path can become gods?" Yun Sheng, understanding life and death well, asked.

Having lived through two lifetimes and already died once, Yun Sheng didn’t fear death. But since she was alive, she sought to live fully.

The Path of Godhood sounded extremely formidable. If given the chance, she wished to take a chance.

"Hmph, wishful thinking. If everyone could become a god, wouldn’t the Divine World be overcrowded?" White Tiger scoffed.

"White Tiger is right. Even if one enters the Nine Flames Divine Road, it doesn’t guarantee that they can become a god." The Totem Vermilion Bird shook its head.

From the Totem Vermilion Bird’s explanation, Yun Sheng learned that before Emperor Jiu Yan became a god, he left entry points of the Nine Flames Divine Road in various forms across different continents, and even through different realms,

of which the Emperor’s Tomb in Dihong City is just one entry point.

The Divine Road not only has numerous entry points but is also fraught with immense danger along the way.

Due to the various sources of entry, there may be beings from the Netherworld or Human and Beast Clans from other continents.

So over the years, although people have successively ventured into the Nine Flames Divine Road, those who truly pass the Divine Road are very few. Some succeeded and reached the Divine World, but ninety-nine percent perished along the way." The Four Divine Beasts must reopen the entry point and enter the Nine Flames Divine Road to return to the Divine World.

"If there’s no guarantee of becoming a god, why do so many people still attempt it?" Yun Sheng expressed doubt.

"Dummy, even if one can’t become a god, just walking the Divine Road once can yield many treasures!" The Totem White Tiger couldn’t help rolling its eyes.

If not for seeing the Nine Flames Bracelet for real, it couldn’t believe that the Ant-man Clan before it was a descendant of Emperor Jiu Yan.

Yun Sheng didn’t know much about Emperor Jiu Yan; her bracelet was from Emperor Shennong.

Perhaps, Emperor Jiu Yan was the name for the Emperor Yan in this realm, or among the Divine Beasts.

Those who find the Path of Gods are undoubtedly strong individuals, and once they embark on it, they go with the mindset of giving their all.

Various precious magic artifacts, immensely valuable combat skills and magic, these treasures also embark on the Divine Road along with the powerful seekers.

Hearing this, both Yun Sheng and Bo Bo lit up with excitement.

"Bo Bo, dear master, treasures that can elevate cultivation! Bo Bo wants it!" Bo Bo drooled with an eager expression.
