Chapter 823: Chapter 574: So-Called God and Demon
Gods differ from bodies, and immortals are unequal among immortals; those in the Hengyu Great World who transform their bodies into stars are undoubtedly the finest. Aside from not cultivating the physical body, they are almost comparable to Chaos Divine Demons and can be said to have embarked on a different path.
This is Divine Liu’s evaluation of the cultivation system within the Hengyu Realm.
Regarding the consumption of resources, the expenditure of time, and the proportion of attainment of Golden Immortal, these are not important to Chaos Divine Demons.
Their lifespan is practically endless, and those able to attain the Tao of Gods and Demons naturally possess innate talent. As for material resources, the Chaotic Qi within the Chaos Sea is the mother of all things. Whatever one desires can be directly transformed from Chaotic Qi.
The only limitation for Chaos Divine Demons is that the Immortal Race does not cultivate the physical body. Even those who ultimately attain Golden Immortal temporarily acquire the strongest material body in the Hengyu Realm, a ’temporary physical shell’, but it is not integrated with the Primordial Spirit and cannot be immortal within the Chaos Sea. Rather than a physical body, it is like the strongest puppet.
The inability to freely transform between Primordial Spirit and physical body is unacceptable to Chaos Divine Demons. Thus, few have fully changed their allegiance to the Immortal Race system. In contrast, many in the Hengyu Realm who have attained Golden Immortal or even Daluo begin to regard dual cultivation with Chaos Divine Demon as the next goal, naming its ultimate achievement ’Holy’.
Following this naming convention, many Chaos Divine Demons who have interacted with the Hengyu Great World seem to have accepted this term.
"A being eternally immortal within the Chaos Sea is a Saint!"
"These requirements are somewhat high; I wonder how many Saints are there now within the Hengyu Realm, how many in the Chaos Sea, and how many Daluo are there in the Hengyu Realm. Are there any who have attained Daluo around the Celestial Profound World?"
"None."
"Hmm?"
"The term Saint was proposed by the Immortal Race in the current epoch after I entered the Hengyu Realm. Whether many top Chaos Divine Demons within the Chaos Sea recognize it is still unknown. But considering that it’s been only tens of thousands of years, it’s unlikely any Saint has emerged based on the efficiency of those Immortal Race Great Powers in the Hengyu Realm."
As Divine Liu spoke, there was a wistful tone, as if yearning for the state of ’Saint’ as defined by the Immortal Race.
In truth, within the Chaos Sea, Chaos Divine Demon is not a cultivation rank but a state of life, as the Chaos Sea is so vast that it lacks boundaries. Each follows different cultivation systems; naturally, there is no unified rank.
Even so-called top-level gods like Hengyu are referred to as ’the strongest known few’ among Chaos Divine Demons rather than classifications like ’Golden Immortal’ or ’Daluo’ from Hengyu Realm.
But if measured by power...
In Divine Liu’s understanding, their past self was only at the Golden Immortal level. On average, one in ten thousand Chaos Divine Demons might match an Immortal Race Daluo. These would be considered strong among Chaos Divine Demons. As for those like Hengyu, perhaps comparable to the ’Saint’ rank of the Immortal Race.
Yet, this division is idle speculation and cannot be taken seriously.
Due to differences in cultivation systems, life form counteraction among Chaos Divine Demons is intense. If a life form is restrained, a Golden Immortal level Chaos Divine Demon defeating a Daluo level is inevitable. Only those of the ’Holy Level’ among Chaos Divine Demons, having existed long enough, have myriad means to counteract restraint and are undefeated.
Thus, among Chaos Divine Demons, except for the highest few gods and demons, all Chaos Divine Demons are equal, with no hierarchical control. The only exceptions are those who have lived long enough to witness several cycles of world birth and destruction, thus called ’Saints’.
Interestingly, despite the vastness of Chaos Sea and an innumerable number of Chaos Divine Demons, Divine Liu perceives their total to be only three thousand, with over a thousand occupied positions.
This perplexed Divine Liu before.
But now, after experiencing hardships in the Hengyu Realm, an understanding of cause and effect has crystallized.
Thus, they candidly told Chen Zhixing:
"If I were you, I wouldn’t pursue cultivation in Hengyu Realm’s Immortal Tao. Instead, seize a position among Chaos Divine Demons while seats remain in the Chaos Sea. These positions are desired by even those Daluo in Hengyu Realm and yet remain unclaimed."
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhixing frowned, looking at Divine Liu, waiting for clarification.
"Literal meaning," Divine Liu calmly replied. "Unexpectedly, the three thousand seats in the Chaos Sea belong to three thousand eternally immortal strong beings. In other words, even as vast as the Chaos Sea is, among ’Holy Level’ gods and demons, there can only ever exist three thousand. At present, over a thousand seats are already occupied."
