Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

The [Pseudo-God] usually possesses the authority that an ordinary Demigod can reach through cultivation, which is Sequence Four.

Although there are three levels ahead, Sequence Four already possesses incredible powers, with boundless Rule Power. Even the simplest Rules contain infinite Origin Power mysteries.

A typical Demigod, even if lucky enough to acquire a [Seed of Rules], might not be able to elevate their sequence from nine to eight throughout their life. Even peak Demigods mostly stop at Sequence Eight, and those who enter Sequence Seven are top geniuses qualified to become Divine Envoys.

However, as long as a God is willing to expend Origin Power to upgrade the [Seed of Rules] to a [Fruit of Rules], even an ordinary Heroic Spirit can instantly possess the authority of Sequence Three! And they may hope to eventually elevate their authority to Sequence One through continual comprehension and cultivation!

A Pseudo-God with a [Fruit of Rules] is called a Servant God.

”Origin Power... it’s precious to a God, isn’t it?” Chu Xiu shared this information and inquired of others.

”Of course,” Zhu Jiu nodded, ”Typically, only Pseudo-Gods who make significant contributions or possess exceptional talent receive this divine favor to be upgraded to Servant Gods. Their number usually doesn’t exceed one-fifth of the total number of Pseudo-Gods, and their power doesn’t match up to the Star Gods on planets.”

”But there are exceptions. Some Main Gods are willing to share some of their authority with their most favored Servant Gods. These Servant Gods are called Subordinate Gods, possessing no less Power than Star Gods and free from the various constraints of Star Gods, almost half a True God.”

”These Gods are extremely rare. Some Main Gods might not even have a single Subordinate God under them, as the strength of a God comes from the authority they hold, and each God is particularly stingy about this.”

These words brought a bitter smile to Chu Xiu’s face.

When he initially rejected Ashtar’s offer, he didn’t realize that the difficulty of becoming a God was so high!

In this light, the Blood Pool indeed treated him very well, offering him conditions above those of the three sub-gods, infinitely close to a Subordinate God of a True God!

”No wonder Ashtar said I completely failed to grasp the value of this proposal, that the Path to Divinity is so arduous.”

This made Chu Xiu somewhat regret if choosing that stable path back then would have been a better choice. Though he had top-tier legacies, was it a bit fanciful to think he could single-handedly oppose the Abyss?

While Chu Xiu was pondering this secretly, Zhu Jiu shook his head and chuckled, ”Of course, the lack of constraints is relative. Though their physical form is unbound, a God’s authority isn’t so easily borne? Hmph, those Gods willing to share authority aren’t being kind. Instead, they have dirty and burdensome tasks they don’t wish to risk.”

These words instantly doused Chu Xiu’s lingering regret.

Indeed, when the Blood Pool promised him the position of a Subordinate God, it surely wasn’t out of some ”mentorship goodwill,” but rather valuing his potential and fighting ability as an ”investment.” A God’s investment expects unimaginable ”returns.”

Becoming a subordinate means your life and death are under their control.

Without dwelling further, Chu Xiu continued reading.

The most crucial and most valuable step on how to become a God lay ahead.

Even the energy level of a [Pseudo-God] is more than ten thousand times that of a Demigod. What might cause such a disparity? Chu Xiu was very curious.

He only skimmed it briefly, not taking the time to delve deeply.

After all, these materials had been provided, and there was plenty of time to study them later. Presently, the most important thing was to pass the Trial.

”The most crucial information I’ve received now is the specifics of divine power and the knowledge of rules.”

Quickly, he analyzed the combat power of both sides in his mind.

The seven Civilization Envoys had clearly stated they wouldn’t assist him, so he was on his own, with the Rule Power of six Tribulation Transformation Divine Artifacts.

The adversary consisted of an unknown power of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, five Heavenly Tribulations, a Divine Domain, and a Divine Body.

”Earlier, Mao Qi said that the power of that Divine Body is less than a hundredth of its strength, but even at one percent, that’s the power of a hundred Peak Demigods! Even considering the opponent only releases simple energy, I have no chance in close combat.”

”The power of the Heavenly Tribulations is extremely abnormal. One Tribulation wiped out half of my Ghostly Legion and consumed a large amount of my mana and advanced Power.”

”Additionally, there’s the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation and the outrageous Divine Domain...”

This thought made Chu Xiu feel a bit desperate. The power gap between the sides was immense! He even wondered if Xie Xuanzhao’s claim of a slight chance of victory was just to prevent him from going berserk and resorting to desperate tactics.

However, after calm reflection, he thought it might not be entirely hopeless.

The most crucial point was that the enemy must have certain limitations unknown to him.

If not, with the absolute hit characteristic of the Divine Domain, that Divine Body could instantly eliminate everyone.

”Is it a movement range limitation?” Chu Xiu kept this possibility in mind.

”The Heavenly Tribulation should also have constraints, otherwise, when Mu Tuo and the others were harmed by the cancerous rules, they should have quickly initiated the subsequent tribulations to annihilate us.”
