Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 620: Chapter 619, Willpower is Soul Power_1

Jassim Batista had indeed meant that. His body was bound by the powerful strength of the Battlefield of the Gods, rendering him unable to escape. Thus, he could only flee by possessing another’s physical shell. Jiang Chen, being a Destruction Demigod, possessed the Law of Destruction within his body, making it a suitable vessel for Jassim Batista to inherit his Willpower.

Unfortunately... Jiang Chen wasn’t fooled and immediately used Instant Step to depart.

Although Jiang Chen hadn’t killed the Ancient God of Destruction, he had understood the method. It was Willpower. It involved using Willpower to conquer the Law of Destruction and merge with the body as one, thereby becoming a true Destruction Demigod—not an ordinary person crudely attempting to create fire by drilling wood. That was what being a true Destruction Demigod entailed.

「...」

「On the way...」

Li Chanji asked, "Was that Ancient God of Destruction really problematic just now?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes. Didn’t you notice? He hasn’t caught up to us because he cannot leave the Battlefield of the Gods. Perhaps he found a method, using Soul possession, to transfer his Soul into my body and then completely occupy it. My Soul would then either be destroyed by him or become his servant. That’s why he tried everything to make me approach him, to get close, so he could completely control me."

Jiang Chen understood the situation very clearly. Initially, when he fought Jassim Batista, Jassim Batista was determined to kill. However, Jiang Chen was too fast, and Jassim Batista wasn’t confident he could capture him, so he adopted a more roundabout method: using words to trick Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was extremely cautious and trusted no one. That was why Jassim Batista hadn’t been able to seize the opportunity. Even with a hundredfold power increase, Jiang Chen would have likely found it very difficult to escape Jassim Batista’s clutches.

Listening to Jiang Chen’s explanation, Li Chanji thought it made a lot of sense. It was all a trap, a snare designed to lure Jiang Chen in.

Li Chanji said, "Then what he said must be false."

"No, what he said was true."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I felt it. I sensed that his Law of Destruction is different from mine. I can manifest my Law of Destruction at any time, but he cannot; he has completely merged with the Law of Destruction. He is the Seal of Destruction, and the Seal of Destruction is him. So, what he said was true."

"That’s a pity. You don’t know how to cultivate Willpower."

"It’s not that much of a pity. Bai Yun should know."

Jiang Chen thought of Bai Yun. As one of the higher-ups in the Continent of All-Gods, he should know how to cultivate Willpower.

At this moment, Jiang Chen realized something. Why were there many Divine, but few Lords? Was it an issue with refinement? Divine merely refined the God’s Seal. No matter how great their achievements, it was futile because only by completely merging their own Willpower into the God’s Seal could they ascend to become a Lord.

Li Chanji looked at the thoughtful Jiang Chen and asked, "Did you think of something?"

"Yes, it might be related to how Divine ascend to become Lords."

"You mean to say, only by completely infusing one’s Willpower into the God’s Seal can one ascend to become a Lord?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes. Divine use spiritual power to refine Laws, not Willpower. Thus, when they merge with the God’s Seal, it’s with spiritual power. Perhaps that’s the reason."

"Let’s go. We’ll head back to Augustus City first. Wait for me to contact Bai Yun and see if my suspicions are true."

The two quickly left the Battlefield of the Gods. As they were leaving, Jiang Chen looked back at it. What secrets did the Battlefield of the Gods hold? What could ensnare Divine and Lords alike, trapping them so they were unable to extricate themselves? It must be the search for a particular item. What was this item, that it could drive even Lords to such madness?

Jiang Chen believed the Battlefield of the Gods was an ancient battleground. In the very distant past, it used to be a Continent where the All-Gods fought a great war over this land. This was also recorded in the histories of the Continent of All-Gods and the Difiled God Continent.

But what if this was a lie? What if the Battlefield of the Gods wasn’t as described, but rather a place where the All-Gods sought something that drove them to madness, leading to the great war? And what if, in the end, they were trapped by the powerful entities within the Battlefield of the Gods, unable to leave? The weak among them became possessed Puppets. The powerful Divine, while retaining their intellect, still couldn’t escape the Battlefield of the Gods—Jassim Batista was a prime example. Perhaps Jassim Batista was in the deepest part of the Battlefield of the Gods...

Jiang Chen mused that once he became more powerful, he would venture into the depths of the Battlefield of the Gods to discover what could make even Lords go insane.

「Augustus City.」

Jiang Chen contacted Bai Yun.

Jiang Chen: "Bai Yun, do you know how to cultivate Willpower?"

Bai Yun: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Chen: "In the Main City Battlefield, I encountered an Ancient God of Destruction. He had fused his Willpower into the Seal of Destruction. He is a true God of Destruction, extremely powerful..."

Bai Yun: "What? There’s an Ancient God of Destruction in the deepest part of the Battlefield of the Gods?"

Jiang Chen: "Yes. He has never even heard of the Difiled God Continent or the Continent of All-Gods. He must be a very ancient Ancient God."

Bai Yun: "Wait, I’ll go look for some information..."

「...」

「God’s Temple.」

Bai Yun looked around at the books, searching for clues about Willpower and the Battlefield of the Gods.

At this moment, Divine King Laines observed Bai Yun.

"Yun’er, what are you looking for?"

"Books about Willpower."

Divine King Laines asked, "What do you need those for?"

"Someone told me that in the Battlefield of the Gods, he encountered an Ancient God, one with intelligence, who cultivated Willpower and merged it with the God’s Seal."

Divine King Laines’s expression flickered. Willpower?

Divine King Laines said, "Stop looking. There’s nothing here about Willpower. Besides, Willpower cannot be cultivated."

Bai Yun turned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Willpower is simply Willpower; it cannot be enhanced through cultivation."

"Then how did that Ancient God merge Willpower with a Law? Could this be the key to ascending to become a Lord?"

Recalling Jiang Chen’s words, Bai Yun also realized something and directly asked Divine King Laines.

Divine King Laines nodded. "Yes. To ascend to become a Lord, one must merge Willpower with the God’s Seal."

"How can it be merged?"

"One needs to thoroughly refine the Law."

"How is it refined?"

"With Soul Power."

"Is Soul Power the same as Willpower?"

Divine King Laines nodded again. "The Soul is Willpower. The Soul Power must completely merge with the Law."

Bai Yun’s brows furrowed deeply. Merging Soul Power with the Law? How could this be done? He didn’t even understand where the Soul resided. Everyone knew they possessed a Soul, but where was it actually located?
