The space was infinitely pulled closer, and the space here had become like nothingness. Even the master of the realm of domination did not dare to set foot here easily.
Because once you set foot there, you will be torn apart instantly by the power of nothingness. Only gods can stand in nothingness.
In the void, the space fluctuates violently!
A huge stream of light flashed out, and it was the ark that was traveling through the sea of the universe. On the deck of the ark, three figures stood on the handrails.
The three of them looked at the endless dark and void space here, because the space here was the sea of universe. Although there were storms in the sea of universe, it would be very dangerous if they encountered them.
However, for Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Mu Chen who have now become gods, even if the cosmic storm really appears, they will not be as embarrassing as last time. Besides, gods can survive in nothingness. This is the power of God.
The route they are going to take now is to first leave the Qianyuan Realm and take the shuttle ark to the second-level world, a special space called "Land of Stars". Only after entering this realm can they ascend from the second-level world to the first-level world.
Since the first level is the highest level world in the universe, it cannot, like the third and second levels, rely on black holes and wormholes to shuttle into each other's level worlds.
Therefore, if one wants to enter the first-level world, one must first reach the land of stars. Only after being purified by the sea of divinity can one open the passage of gods to ascend to the first-level world.
However, this time, due to the convening of a meeting to recruit gods, as long as one is successfully selected, one will be qualified to ascend directly to the first-level world, and the connected space node is the "Tianshen Mountain" where the meeting to recruit gods is held.
"I just put in 500,000 newly refined main energy pills, allowing the Ark to travel at top speed throughout the journey. It should only take a month to reach the Tianxing Land." Xiao Yan said.
“I didn’t expect that Brother Xiao’s alchemy skills are even more sophisticated than before. The speed of his alchemy this time is several times faster than before. According to my calculations, he should have reached the ninth-grade medicine immortal.” Lin Dong’s voice sounded at the side, and he seemed to be somewhat interested. After all, the identity of an alchemist is very popular no matter where they are.
Xiao Yan possesses both the Emperor Flame and the Divine Fire, and even his alchemy skills have reached such a terrifying level. You know, the appeal of a pharmacist is far beyond imagination.
Perhaps this alchemist's identity has huge appeal and influence in the first-level world.
"Haha, Brother Lin, thank you for the compliment. With the slight improvement of my main realm soul in the past two years, my alchemy skills have also improved a little." Xiao Yan laughed.
“Brother Xiao, you are really modest. If the alchemy skills can only reach the ninth-grade medicine immortal, which is only a slight improvement, then where should other alchemists go?” Lin Dong replied with a teasing tone.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan laughed heartily. When he talked about alchemy and soul power, he recalled the woman named Wu Xue who he met in the Epoch Ruins. Her soul had even reached a soul realm above the main realm, the divine realm. Even Xiao Yan could only glimpse at that realm from afar.
The divine soul is the highest level in the soul hierarchy, so if you want to break through to the divine soul, you not only need a large amount of soul origin, but also extremely deep attainments and talent in soul cultivation.
Only by combining these together can the cultivation of the soul become more sophisticated.
"I wonder if I can meet that girl Wu Xue after ascending to the first-level world this time." Xiao Yan murmured secretly in his heart. When he was fighting against the messenger of the Alliance of Gods before, she saved him at the critical moment. If he could meet her, he would definitely repay her for this favor.
However, Xiao Yan remembered that the force that the woman Wu Xue belonged to seemed to be called Martial God Pavilion. It seemed that he would have to inquire about some information about Martial God Pavilion at that time.
"This meeting to recruit gods is held by the God Alliance. I wonder how many powerful gods have participated..." Muchen folded his arms across his chest, gazing at the endless dark sea of the universe. Although he has become a god, he is still only a third-sequence god and has just entered the realm of gods.
Among those who will participate in this God Recruitment Conference, there must be some very powerful gods. Moreover, some god forces in the first-tier world have also sent very powerful gods in order to join the God Alliance.
It seems that if you want to enter the top ten of the God Recruitment Conference, you will probably have to face another fierce clash between gods.
“Haha, no matter how powerful the participating gods are, the three of us must occupy a place in the top ten!” Xiao Yan’s fearless spirit continued to emanate from him. Seeing Xiao Yan’s incomparably determined mentality, Lin Dong and Muchen were also in awe.
"Okay, here we come, Land of Stars!" A huge ark finally turned into a meteor, pierced through the sea of the universe, and flew towards the direction of the Land of Stars.
Chapter 583 Climbing the Ladder
Soon a month passed...
The journey was almost very smooth. Although they encountered several cosmic storms along the way, there was no crisis at all for Xiao Yan and the others.
At the same time, no ark was encountered. It seems that there are not many contestants from the third and second levels participating in this god-recruiting meeting. After all, the minimum threshold must be a god.
A certain area of the universe...
This place is filled with endless darkness, but a huge blue light emanates from the darkness, and within the blue light is a special space that connects the second-level world to the first-level world...the Land of Stars!
The power of Xiao Yan's main realm soul had already begun to be released, exploring all the dynamics of this blue and strange space.
In the perception of the main realm soul power, there was actually an extremely powerful energy magnetic field within the blue light. Even Xiao Yan's main realm soul could not detect the specific situation inside.
Moreover, that powerful energy magnetic field almost swallowed up the soul power directly.
If Xiao Yan hadn't reacted quickly, his soul would have been severely damaged by the powerful energy magnetic field.
"What a strange energy magnetic field..." Xiao Yan retracted his soul power and looked at the blue area in shock.
Not only Xiao Yan was surprised, even Lin Dong and Muchen felt that there seemed to be a very strong and strange energy magnetic field here, which seemed to be able to isolate all powerful external forces.
"We are almost there. I wonder what kind of special space this Tianxing Land is that can resist and even devour all the forces from the outside world."
Xiao Yan said as the three of them stood on the deck, lined up in a row. The huge ark had begun to slow down and was moving forward slowly.
The Land of Stars cannot be seen with the naked eye. The only thing that can be seen is a huge blue light that seems to be still in the sea of the universe.
And in this vast ocean of the universe, everything is only relatively still, but in fact all objects are moving slowly.
As we arrived near the Tianxing Land, we could see two huge arks surrounding us. One ark had Tianyuan written on it, and the other had Tianxin written on it. It seemed that people from the Tianyuan Realm and Tianxin Realm had already arrived here.
Finally, the ark that Xiao Yan was riding found a place and slowly stopped.
"We're finally here. It seems that this Heavenly Star Land is not so simple after all." After the Ark came to a steady stop, Xiao Yan looked out at the endlessly dark sea of universe. The only bright light he could see was probably the blue light emitted from the Heavenly Star Land.
After stabilizing the Ark, Xiao Yan and the other two left the Ark and walked in mid-air towards the Tianxing Land.
Only gods are qualified to step into the space of the universe. As for those at the master level or quasi-god level, as long as they step into the universe, they will be instantly swallowed up and decomposed by the power of nothingness therein, and there will be no possibility of survival.
After a moment, the three of them came to the blue light. They looked at each other, took a step forward, and went straight into it. They didn't expect that the blue light just now resisted the power of the outside world, but they could easily enter it.
After passing through the blue light, the first thing they saw was a long ladder leading directly to the land of stars above. After the three of them stepped onto the ladder and walked for a while, they looked down and saw that the sky was full of stars. There was no continent among them. It was like the stars in the universe turned upside down. It was extremely mysterious and shocking.
After walking on the ladder for a long time, they still couldn't see the end of the ladder. At this time, they saw blue clouds rolling above it. Looking at this scene, some of the three people had a look of surprise on their faces.
"What are those things? They look like blue clouds." Lin Dong and his friends were also shocked by this kind of scene for the first time.
"I think that should be the land of Tianxing." Muchen's voice also came out faintly.
Seeing many blue clouds rolling, from a distance it looks like an endless blue ocean, but when you look at it up close, you will find that this is not a blue ocean, but a huge monster formed by many blue clouds combined together. However, the scenery is indeed unexpected.
It was also the first time for Xiao Yan and the other two to know that there was such a special and alternative space in the universe. It was something they could only encounter in dreams.
"Let's just fly over there. No matter how far we go, we will eventually reach the end of the ladder." Xiao Yan was about to jump down when he was interrupted by a voice.
"Another guest has arrived. Welcome to the land of Tianxing." At this moment, a voice was heard from far above, and no one knew where it came from. After hearing this omnipresent voice, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Muchen immediately became alert.
After all, this is not a big world. In this extremely special space, we still have to be careful. Since this is the connection point between the second-level world and the first-level world, there must be something very powerful guarding this place.
“Hehe, don’t panic, the three of you. I am the patron saint of the Tianxing Land. Before you, two gods from the Tianyuan Realm and Tianxin Realm had entered this place earlier. Now they have been successfully chosen by the spirit of the Tianxing and ascended to the first-level world.” A hazy blue figure gradually appeared in front of Xiao Yan, looked at everyone, and smiled gently.
“I see. It seems that the seniors from the Tianyuan Realm and the Tianxin Realm have ascended to the first-tier world earlier than us.” After all, they are gods from the second-tier world, and the chances of being chosen by the Spirit of the Stars should be higher.
"I am Xiao Yan, from the Qianyuan Realm, a third-level world!"
"Lin Dong!"
"Muchen!"
"This time we came to Tianxing to participate in this year's God Recruitment Conference." Xiao Yan and the other two bowed and explained the reason for their visit.
"So you are a contestant in this year's God Recruitment Meeting. In that case, let's go to the Land of Heavenly Stars first!"
“However, flying is prohibited in the Tianxing Land. You must remember that if you fly at will and break the rules of the Tianxing Land, it will have some impact on your ascension to the first-level world.” The hazy blue figure looked at Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Muchen seriously and said solemnly.
"You have to walk up, but with your strength, it should take about three days to reach the Tianxing Land." Guandong's tone was very serious. Xiao Yan and others were shocked when they heard it. Does this mean it takes three days of walking to reach the end of the ladder?
He frowned slightly, but since it was the rule of the Tianxing Land, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Chapter 584 The Sea of Divinity
The ladder leading to the Star Land was not a straight line, but winding, just like walking on a steep mountain road. There was no other figure on the long and slender ladder, only the three of them, walking at brisk steps, continuing to move towards the end of the ladder.
"It's still some distance from the Land of Heavenly Stars, but you can't fly. This is a test to see if there is still a trace of humanity in your bodies after you become gods. Only when you are completely free from humanity can you have the chance to ascend to the first-level world. I'll be waiting for you in the Land of Heavenly Stars." After the hazy blue figure said the last sentence, it disappeared.
It seems that this rule of the Heavenly Star Land is also for training the gods after they become gods, to see if they have completely separated themselves from human nature. If they still have human nature, then walking up the ladder to heaven for three days will surely make their minds exhausted and unstable.
Because this ladder is not an ordinary ladder. When walking on it, one's weight is a hundred times heavier than usual. Therefore, if one does not rely on flying and instead climbs to the top on foot, no one will succeed if he has a trace of humanity left.
Therefore, since they have become gods, they must shed all their humanity and replace it with divinity.
This is a qualified god, and only qualified gods can successfully ascend to the first-level world.
Xiao Yan and his two companions climbed the ladder on foot. Even if they had a hundred times the weight of the ladder on them, it could not stop them from wanting to ascend to the first-level world. So after one day... two days... three days...
The three figures finally reached the end of the ladder, which was still a hundred meters away. However, even with their strong will, after three days of hiking up the ladder, it was obvious that there was a slight change on Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Muchen's faces, and they could feel that their auras were somewhat disturbed.
"Ten more steps..." Xiao Yan and the other two saw the end of the ladder and were about to reach the top. They were extremely excited.
Eight steps... five steps... three steps... one step...
“Haha, congratulations on successfully passing the first level. It seems that there is still a trace of humanity in you. The next step is the key to making you completely free from humanity.” It was the voice of the guardian angel again, echoing from a certain space.
After the news reached Xiao Yan and the others’ ears, they successfully completed the first test of the Tianxing Land.
"Is this...the Land of Heavenly Stars?" Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Muchen were also shocked by the scene before them.
This is the world made up of countless blue clouds. There is no material around, only endless blue water, like a blue ocean.
Moreover, there is an extremely special energy in this ocean. This energy can make one fall into confusion. At the same time, if one can find a way out of this confusion, one will completely possess complete divinity and be able to ascend to the first-level world.
"What you are seeing now is the Sea of Divinity. You will directly enter this Sea of Divinity later. As long as you can withstand the energy in it for more than a day, you can directly ascend to the first-level world and reach the Tianshen Mountain where the gods are being recruited this time."
"I guess there are already many gods there waiting for the divine meeting to begin. You three should hurry up." As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Mi Cu did not dare to delay and they jumped directly.
Boom!
Three diving sounds caused splashes of water, and ripples spread out in all directions.
After the three of them entered the sea of divinity, a heat entered their bodies. It was clearly an ocean, so why was it so hot? Soon the expressions of the three of them froze slightly, and they immediately mobilized their own divine power and began to resist the heat from entering their bodies.
However, they discovered that using their divine power to resist the surrounding heat actually made them feel even more uncomfortable, as if they were being burned by a raging fire.
“It seems that we can’t use our divine power to resist. Since they want us to completely break away from humanity, we must withstand the impact of this heat entering our bodies for three hours.” Xiao Yan seemed to have discovered the mystery behind it, and immediately withdrew his divine power.
Lin Dong and Muchen felt the same upon seeing this, but it was also very difficult for them to let the heat enter their bodies. If it were someone else, it would probably be difficult for them to endure the feeling of being burned by fire.
However, the three of them had experienced life and death and were walking on the brink of life and death. This little hardship had no effect on them at all.
As time passed, the originally calm sea level began to boil, with bubbles constantly emerging and water vapor rising continuously. Finally, the water vapor actually enveloped the bodies of Xiao Yan, Lin Dong and Muchen.
A hot breath continued to rise again, causing their brows to frown slightly, as if even they could hardly bear it at this moment.
It seems that it is not so easy to completely shed human nature. This is the most important part of the process. Perhaps in this process, one must experience the scene of human nature again, that is, how to get out of human nature. As long as one gets out of human nature within these three hours, one will be able to completely get rid of it and gain divinity.
It is not difficult to see that the three of them are experiencing the human side, because their brows are getting tighter and tighter, and it seems that for a moment, they even want to break away from the sea of divinity.
If you are separated from the sea of divinity, you will not be able to ascend to the first-level world. If you want to ascend to the first world, you must shed your humanity. Only gods with divinity are qualified to ascend.
Although a day is almost a negligible amount of time for them normally, but during this day, the heat from the sea of divinity entering their bodies is extremely torturous, and every day feels like a year.
