CHAPTER 788: CHAPTER 788 THE ROAD AHEAD IS COMPLETELY PAVED

"This is my stationing location now, directly overlapping with the position of those opposite, which is somewhat dangerous," Fang Jie stated as he arrived at the frontline. This was the stationing spot assigned to him by Emperor Skeleton. Of course, it was only for now as he could initiate attacks later, and the enemy could attack as well.

As for how much benefit he could reap in the end, it still depended on them.

This battle was no longer aimed at occupying territory and slaughtering the natives. It would be very easy to occupy this world; the real trouble was the beastmen on the other side, especially the demigods among them.

However, the lower ranks were not completely useless; even if it was just for experience to improve them, that was fine.

Moreover, if the lower ranks managed to occupy a region, then the gods of the opposing side could influence that area. And this area would then become the home ground for the opponents, giving them a certain boost.

This kind of boost was effective even for demigods, although the effect was small.

But on such a life-and-death battlefield, even a small effect was something everyone would vie for.

Luckily, Fang Jie found a spot and deployed his Mountain and River Spirits and then began mass-producing Undead soldiers. They were all of Gold level, which counted as the highest level of the Cannon Fodder Army on this battlefield.

Others did not have Fang Jie’s convenient methods and could only use what they brought or manufacture on site.

Fang Jie, on the other hand, began to read the common knowledge that Emperor Skeleton had provided him with.

The first was about becoming a god. As Fang Jie read, he realized, "So that’s how it is, Divine Domains are so important, no wonder those demigods without Divine Domains find it so hard to become gods."

To become a god, it is crucial to grasp the Laws to a certain degree, to be able to completely refine one’s own Laws into the foundation of one’s Divine Status, representing the authority of the deity and the direction of future development.

Once the Divine Status is formed, the path is almost defined.

If the chosen path is incorrect, then growth will naturally stop after reaching a certain height.

However, if it overlaps with the paths of other powerful gods, upon reaching certain heights, they would begin to compete for Divine Authority and generate conflicts.

Of course, if one entirely avoids relying on the World Laws and conceives one’s own Laws, then there would be no conflict with any gods. However, this scenario is practically impossible.

After all, everyone uses the World Laws as a reference.

And once referenced frequently, it naturally converges, and some integration occurs.

Once integrated, to exert one’s strength, one must vie for more control. This is why many gods, after reaching a certain level, get slaughtered by more powerful gods because they pose a threat.

Indeed, this path is not that easy. For now, Fang Jie hasn’t integrated any Laws.

Though he has also studied, Fang Jie referenced only the fragments of other gods’ Divine Statuses. Then, using the World Origin Power, this enhancement completely blocks the influence of the World Laws, and he hasn’t faced such hidden dangers yet.

If he continues down this path, it will undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties. Because this method requires a vast amount of Origin Power.

"Forget it, I’ll think about it when I can’t continue anymore, but at least for now, I must persevere."

Fang Jie discovered that he had four Innate Laws. Unless he gave some up, integrating these four Laws would increase the likelihood of conflict with other powerful gods.

Before reaching that level, should he affect them, the consequences would be very dangerous for him.

He would either have to become a Subordinate God, becoming part of another Divine Race, or face a dead end.

Then Fang Jie began to look at other aspects. Besides this, a demigod needs to transform their Strength into Divine Power, and with Divine Power, temper their body and Soul into a Divine Body and Divine Soul.

Only if the foundation is reached, can one become a deity.

However, to become a god, external conditions are also required, not just internal ones.

External conditions include Believers and Faith, and gods also need their own Divine Domain. This Divine Domain can be directly established on a Territory, and then refined with a vast amount of Faith to transform it into one’s Divine Domain.

Having a Divine Domain provides a foundation, which is key for future development and becoming a god.

But if the Divine Domain is not large enough, the likelihood of failing to become a god is not small; however, the larger the Divine Domain, the more Faith it consumes.

Without one’s own Territory, collecting Faith is indeed very difficult. They need to spread their Faith and gradually gather Faith Power, which will later be used to temper the Divine Domain.

This process takes a lot of time, and anything might happen during it.

A slight misstep could result in one’s utter annihilation. After all, a demigod ready to become a god is a treasure trove, highly valuable. Conversely, if his own power is insufficient, he simply cannot resist those dangers.

After all, being demigods, they still pose a threat to each other.

And for those who already possess a Divine Domain, the most difficult and worrisome step has been directly overcome.

It can be said that as long as they meet their own conditions, they can become gods, which is why they are different.

Of course, those within the Divine Domain, if they receive a god’s support, can also become gods. But generally, gods are unlikely to sponsor others; instead, they are more likely to directly annihilate them.

After becoming a deity, they still have to continue developing their Divine Domain, requiring more Believers and various Resources.

Even when facing other gods, conflicts might arise from time to time. Thus, they also need various types of knowledge, Divine Arts, and even to craft Divine Artifacts for battle; troubles and dangers are very plentiful.

The records emphasize that one should expand one’s Divine Domain as much as possible, ideally reaching the limit of the Divine Domain.

Because once one becomes a god, the Divine Domain cannot be changed. Even if the Territory of the Divine Domain can continue to expand, the original piece of the Divine Domain that forms the foundation of the deity remains unchanged and cannot be enhanced.

This is the foundation of the god, which is also needed later to form the Divine Country.

Even if the Territory is upgraded, what can genuinely be enhanced thereafter is only that one piece. The rest is akin to accessories, though attached, they do not aid the foundation.

The stronger the foundation of the Divine Country, the easier it is to advance after becoming a god, and the higher one can reach in the future. Otherwise, even if the path of the Laws is stable, progress is difficult.

Since I have chosen the more challenging path, I must ensure that the foundation is flawless.
