The title gods also ranked in the pantheon of gods, but they belonged to the top of the category of gods, and the presence or absence of a title constituted an insurmountable class divide.
Slymod drew an analogy.
If the group of Gods was viewed as animals living on a certain piece of land, then the vast majority of Gods were trees, bugs, and herbivores, while the Title Gods were the top predators at the top of the food chain.
“Lord God, Title Gods are the result of the growth of the Gods after they have reached a qualitative change, and there are three main differences.”
“They are speed, strength and body.”
This green Slime said, “Speed, refers to the fact that Title Gods are able to navigate the Divine Kingdom into the Leap Zone, thus breaking through the rule restrictions of the Crawling Zone.”
“In the Creeping Zone, the power of rules spreads in all directions like a continuous dense jungle, and both the divine Kingdom and the gods are shackled with rules, causing them to only be able to move extremely slowly under the power of the rules. The rank energy level of all beings is locked at LV99, unable to go any further.”
“The Leap Zone is different, it is a very active spatial layer where the locks of the rank energy levels are opened and can break through LV100. the rule power is highly contracted and condensed, the external constraints are extremely small, and the Divine Kingdom is able to travel and shuttle at amazing speeds.”
“In the Leap Zone, the Title Deity will be able to transform the Divine Kingdom from the rule level, a realm that is unimaginable and untouchable by the Gods.”
“Even if they return to the Creeping Zone, the divine Kingdom of the Title Deity will still be able to travel at speeds close to the limit of this zone, and this terrifying speed alone is an inescapable catastrophe for other divine Kingdoms.”
“For the Gods to break through into the Leap Zone, they again need sufficient strength and bodies. So this is a deadly cycle that is difficult to break through for most of the Gods.”
He further elaborated, “Power, referring to the fire of faith and the population of believers.”
“There must be a strong divine body, as well as a sufficiently large amount of the power of faith, in order for the divine Kingdom to continue accelerating, breaking through the limits of the Creeping Zone and entering the Leaping Zone.”
“During this process, both the divine Kingdom and the divine body will be torn apart by the power of the rules, requiring the consumption of a large amount of power of faith to sustain them. Many gods have had their god kingdoms crumble or their god bodies torn apart at this stage, resulting in failure.”
“Power is the foundation for entering the Leap Zone.”
Lu Yao heard and understood.
The huge change in the rule environment distinguished between the Crawling Zone and the Leap Zone.
It was like if a deep sea fish wanted to enter the surface of the water, it had to change its physiology to be able to adapt to the low-pressure environment on the surface of the sea, or else just surfacing would be tantamount to suicide.
“And finally, the torso.”
Words floated line by line in the dialogue box above Slemod’s head, “The divine bodies of the title gods are different from the gods.”
“He will modify the divine body to cope with the Leap Zone tearing, and use the divine body to stabilise the entire divine Kingdom. To do so, it is necessary to make the divine body far beyond the stage of the Gods.”
“The conventional way to do this is to make use of singularities.”
“Singularities originate from various masterless worlds, they are between life and death, they can be said to be a kind of life, and they can also be seen as a kind of rule carrier.”
“There are two ways to utilise them.”
“One is to make the singular objects into props or wonders, holding or fixing them on the divine Kingdom, echoing the divine body. During the process of accelerating the departure, the singularity, which is a product of the complete rules, can then serve to stabilise the rules of the world.”
“The second is to amplify the activity of the singularity – but more often than not, it is still integrated into the divine body, turning it into some kind of organ or limb of the body, which can also further strengthen the divine body. This approach has a higher ceiling and is much more difficult than the former.”
……
Slymod spoke in great detail, Lu Yao was carefully watching the whole thing and had organised and generated a document of what he had told.
The Titled Gods held singularities that could stabilise the power of rules, carried their divine kingdoms into the Leap Zone for transformation, and also held a large amount of faith power and population that far exceeded that of the Gods.
Back in the Creeping Zone, His high-speed divine Kingdom was a descending blow to the Gods.
Lu Yao combed through his thoughts.
In other words, in order for the Gods to become Title Gods, the prerequisites were to have the faith and population reserves to accelerate the breakthrough into the Flying Leap Zone with the Divine Kingdom, and to hold a singularity to stabilise the rules of the world.
Even if these two conditions were met, they could still fail, requiring repeated attempts.
Once it succeeded, it would be able to move from quantitative change to qualitative change, obtaining a higher ceiling in the Flying Leap Zone with more speed and spatial freedom.
Lu Yao had a question.
What exactly was the title of the Title Divine?
The initial [Whistler], [Flayer], and the later [Toastmaster], [Fearless], as well as Slymod’s former boss, [Golden Poverty Star], each possessed a unique title.
The mechanism of which Lu Yao was still unknown.
“Lord God, a title is a rule.”
Slemod said, “Only that is a unique rule created by the Title Gods in the Leap Zone, and the rule gives the title, and the title represents achievement and power.”
“Of course, it’s a lot more complicated than my humble self makes it out to be. Some titles are based on exotic objects, some titles originate from divine kingdoms, and some are inherited from the title rules of fallen gods ……”
Lu Yao drifted off.
A title was a unique rule power, similar to an apostle’s exclusive ability.
According to Slemod, the power of a title would radiate all the subordinate gods in the title deity’s divine palace, which was equivalent to a group special power gain.
Lu Yao questioned Slemod while watching the condition of the Temple in the Clouds.
……
On a flat desert within the Temple in the Clouds, eight martial practitioners from the Yao Clan had already gathered by now.
Among them were six humans, one deep sea fishman – actually a fish goo from Team Pinkman – and one caveman monster.
The highest level of the participants reached LV24, and the lowest was LV20.
Slemod’s humanoid lattice limb spoke to them about the rules.
“Gentlemen, please draw lots for the groupings below.”
He raised his hand and allowed the martial cultivators to draw eight blades through which they would be paired up.
“Allow me to state once again that this duel will end with one side either conceding defeat or being incapacitated.”
“This one next to me – please don’t be alarmed, that’s Mister Knowing Monk, it’s Lord Yao Shen’s apostle and the supervisor and referee of this martial arts convention.”
“Junior Monk Knowing Monk, I wish all of you good results.”
The Knowing Monk’s huge fish head looked at the pixelated little people, causing exclamation marks to appear on the tops of the heads of the martial cultivators one by one, followed by the emergence of sweaty, nervous expressions.
Lu Yao watched the matches between the martial cultivators with interest.
The first battle was the Fish Goo versus the Cave Monster Stone Small, both happened to be LV22, and theoretically, they were considered evenly matched.
But after the real fight, Fish Goo was no match for the Cave Monster at all, and in less than a minute before and after, Fish Goo was knocked to the ground, unconscious.
The Knowing Monk declared Shi Xiao the winner.
The Cave Monster had the [Strong] trait, and was itself balanced in attack and defence, with its weakness being its slower speed.
The Deep Sea Fishman’s combat home is in the water, its attacks can carry water elemental damage and its dive speed is doubled, but in the desert it’s all disadvantage.
Let’s just say that liking land fish goo is kind of heavy on the engagement.
After a few rounds of elimination, the final showdown was the Cave Monster versus the Farmer’s Bastion.
Previously, both sides had demonstrated practical combat abilities that far exceeded those of the same group, and the highest ranked LV24 Martial Cultivator instead swam in one round.
Nong Bastion and Shi Xiao fought fiercely, and both sides’ blood quantities were constantly decreasing, and soon both had only about 50 life points left.
These two were extremely competitive and were fighting desperately against each other regardless.
If they let it continue, one of them would probably die here.
Lu Yao had let them share the championship of the First Martial Arts Conference for safety’s sake.
Nong Bui and Shi Xiaoshi were both boosted a level by Lu Yao’s addition.
Both sat down on their knees in excitement to give their thanks.
Next, the Knowledgeable Monk took them through the transfer process, and both Nong Shu and Shi Xiaoshi chose to transfer to Sandwalker. However, the two diverged on their subsequent choices.
Shi Xiaoshi chose to return to the Yao Clan.
Nongbase, however, wanted to go to a new world to experience.
He said, “In my home world, it was hard for me to knock down an ordinary Armour Bearer. I want to go and find out the path to follow, just like Mr Saltjou once did.”
Lu Yao satisfied him.
This time, however, Lu Yao opened a direct channel to avoid another ascension accident, and dropped Nong Base next to Saltcue in the Phantom Ghost World.
Coming to the new world, an exclamation mark lit up above Nongbase’s head.
He took a look at the old man next to him, and the top of his head even revealed a stunned expression of disbelief, “You are …… Master Salt Long?”
“I am Salt Long, you know Yao language? You are?”
The old Salt Long who was feeding the Calamity Beasts with bamboo shoots was also a bit caught off guard.
“You are the person I’ve admired the most since I was a child, my cultivation has always been aimed at you!”
“Can you fight with me?”
Salt Long satisfied him.
……
Nongbase slumped to the ground, a snotty thumbs-up emoji emerging from the top of his head, “Worthy of being Master Saltcue, it’s too strong! This suppression power is the real deal, Mr Shiohisa! Ascending over is really the right thing to do!”
