Chapter 860: Chapter 408: A Unique Path to Becoming a God, the Destruction of the Abyss Demon

[You have possessed the body of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

[Seeing you unwilling to leave with it, the ’Starlight Priest’ was about to scold you, but then it saw you suddenly change your appearance. Shocked, it quickly raised its hand and summoned the ’Twilight of the Stars’ to protect itself.]

[You wielded the ’Sword of the Bloody King’, shattering its defensive magic under its horrified gaze, the Crimson Greatsword resting at its neck...]

[The ’Starlight Priest’ had a drastic change of expression, realizing you were an enemy who had infiltrated the Polar Star Association in disguise, and it had transferred its latest research results into the enemy’s body.]

[It immediately said in a deep voice that no matter what you wanted, as long as you could return the ’eyeball heart’ to it... Rest assured, it would return the original heart to you, no, it would transplant another equally powerful heart into you...]

Now that no one else was around, Lin Xun was too lazy to argue with the creature, knocking it out with a single sword strike and throwing it into the ’Time Prison’...

Armed with a powerful interrogation artifact, the ’Starlight Priest’ soon spilled its guts, streaming with tears and snot.

[...]

[The ’Starlight Priest’, faced with your pressing questions, wiped its nose and tears and answered pitifully. Within the Polar Star Association, not only it was engaged in transplantation research. Priests skilled in transplantation were all conducting related research under the orders of the ’Executor’, with many being stronger and more skilled than it...]

[The research of transplants was not limited to the heart, but also included organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The research progress on these other organs was nearing perfection; only the most important and difficult heart transplantation had always been at a standstill.]

[It hadn’t expected to accidentally succeed in ’Heart Strengthening’ transplantation...]

Lin Xun couldn’t help but sneer. If it weren’t for the ’Flesh Authority’ strengthening the body, the frail figure of the ’Star Favored’ mage would have met its end long ago.

[The ’Starlight Priest’ continued to spill the beans, explaining that although the purpose of transplantation research seemed to be strengthening the frail bodies of Star Mages, in reality, it was far from simple.]

[This was a great path to becoming divine!]

[For both the ’Scholar’ of Knowledge and the Star Mage, strength was not manifested in the weak body but in the powerful spirit...] 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

[But the growth of the spirit, like the body, has its limits.]

[This is the barrier to godhood, the divide between gods and mortals. Unless born with exceptional talent, most would be unable to continue advancing after reaching their limit.]

[Inside the organization, great figures like the ’Star Realm Envoys’, who already possess the strength of top-tier demigods, would find it impossible to advance further to become a divine being like the ’Executor’, even to become a false deity.]

[Because they have reached their own limits, they could no longer enhance their strength.]

[It’s like a Refined Copper balance scale, with a beaker on one side and a mass representing godhood on the other.]

[As the ’beaker’ Star Mage has reached its limit, the cup is filled with the liquid called ’spiritual power’, yet it still can’t tip the scale towards godhood.]

[At this point, adding more liquid to the cup would only cause it to overflow, serving no purpose.]

[Before the Chaos of the ’Knowledge Barrier’ emerged, demigods could still become divine by absorbing the ’Power of Faith’.]

[But now, that path has been blocked by the ’Evil God’ of ’Almighty True Knowledge’, and if the demigods, lacking such extreme talent, wish to break through after reaching their limits, they must find another way.]

[For the frail-bodied Star Mages, since the beaker is full and the weight of the liquid cannot be increased, why not find an alternative method, increasing the weight of the beaker itself?]

[Transplanting organs to strengthen their feeble bodies is the quickest way to increase the weight of the beaker!]

[It’s a unique path to divinity!]

[With ample experience in transplanting eyeballs, transplanting other limbs or organs was not a significant technical challenge for them.]

[Initially, they used demonic limbs as experimental material for transplants, but the progression of the trials was not smooth.]

[Because merely transplanting limbs is like donning a strong shell; fundamentally, the bodies of Star Mages are still very fragile, like a coachman driving a carriage, where the strong power comes from the horses, not the coachman.]

[They realized that instead of transplanting outer limbs, it would be better to transplant core organs like the viscera and use a strong visceral circulation to drive the enhancement of the body.]

[This direction was undoubtedly the right path, but after initial success in the trials, they soon hit another bottleneck.]

[The results showed that transplanting demon viscera did indeed enhance physical strength, adding weight to the ’beaker’.]

[But this kind of physical strength did not mesh well with spiritual power; the ’weight increase’ efficiency was so low it was exasperating, and transplanting internal organs from more powerful demons was simply intolerable for the human body.]

[Without breaking through the extremely low ’weight increase’ efficiency, merely using the internal organs of lesser demons would never meet the expected results of the trials.]

[Just when the many priests were at a loss, the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ among the ’Stars’, discovered that combining the Star Spirit eyeball with demon viscera greatly increased the ’weight increase’ efficiency.]

[While combining the two would, to some extent, also increase the load on the transplant recipient, it was far more efficient than simply transplanting demon viscera.]
