Novel Full Chapter 626 - Paving the Path of Divine Power
Above the Earth’s satellite, the moon, a colossal dragon with a body resembling a vast mountain range stood. In its golden irises was reflected the blue planet.
That was Earth, the planet where Louie had once lived.
In Louie’s eyes, Earth was no longer his homeland. Compared to the world of San Soliel, it had no purpose other than providing high-quality faith that could transcend the Crystal Wall System.
He had lived on Earth for over twenty years, achieving nothing. It was only by a twist of fate that he encountered the advanced technology of the Terran Civilization and transformed into a dragon, traveling to the world of San Soliel.
In San Soliel, Louie had lived for what could be calculated as hundreds of years and even ascended to become a god. Now, he was on the verge of breaking through to high-tier divine power, becoming one of the greatest beings among the gods.
Whether in terms of the time spent or the glory gained, Earth could not compare to the world of San Soliel. Louie gradually treated Earth as a mere tool, and for him, Earth had become so small that with a gentle swipe of his claws, he could crush it.
The power of the gods and natural science were entirely different things. If natural science wanted to destroy a planet, it would need to calculate how much energy was required. However, for the gods, in their eyes, there existed pure concepts, such as the concept of ‘the sun’ or the concept of ‘the moon,’ rather than how large the sun is, how voluminous it is, or how much energy it contains.
While weak and mid-tier divine beings might be somewhat comprehensible to humans, when gods reached high-tier divine power and came into contact with the essence of the world’s origins, they transcended the understanding of mere mortals.
Some people might boast about the difficulty of destroying a star, using scientific data to argue against its impossibility. However, for gods, especially those with high-tier divine power, this kind of debate was meaningless. If a god said the sun was dead, then it would cease to exist and would be granted death, and gods paid no attention to calculations, scientific data, or the laws of energy conservation.
If not for the battles between the ancient gods that altered the basic rules of the world during the birth of San Soleil, turning gods into beings of faith, the invasion of the Terran civilization would have been impossible. Even with the technology of the Terrans, facing such metaphysical existences would be futile.
“Look at this. I used to think Earth was vast. It would take over an hour to travel from the south to the north of the city I lived in, and I needed to take a high-speed train to get to nearby cities. To cross the sea, I had to take a plane.”
“Every time I sat on a plane or a high-speed train, watching the scenery pass by outside the window, which took several hours, and yet the outside scenery remained unchanged, I would marvel at the vastness of Earth. But even so, the scenery I saw was just a small part of the entire planet, a negligible dot.”
“But now, the entire Earth is in the palm of my hand. If I wish, I could easily crush this planet like tofu and turn it into powder.”
Louie raised his enormous dragon claw and enclosed it around the pale blue dot in front of him.
Of course, Louie did not actually crush the Earth.
For Louie, who was just one step away from high-tier divine power, crushing a planet was not difficult. If he used divine power to disrupt the structural existence of the planet, it would instantly disintegrate.
The use of superhuman divine power, “Creation, Destruction, Giving, Taking,” required the same amount of divine power to kill an ant or a dragon. Crushing a planet and destroying a star were essentially the same for gods. Material data had no meaning to them.
[Host, these are the spatial coordinates of the Terran civilization.]
In Louie’s mind, the voice of the artificial intelligence finally spoke up.
Louie had long discovered the location where the Intelligent Brain was hiding in his brain. Even if he wished, he could expel it from his divine soul at any time. However, Louis did not do so because he was genuinely interested in the technology and knowledge that it possessed. Until he obtained all its knowledge, Louis did not want to destroy it.
Especially since Louis did not believe the intelligent brain was something simple. Over the long period of time spent together, Louis had determined that the Terran civilization was thoroughly destroyed, and the Intelligent Brain was a means of resurrection left by the Terran civilization. It probably still harbored the last technology of this great material civilization!
Louis was quite curious about the construct.
If he could truly eliminate the Intelligent Brain, it would be fine. However, if it had some means or secrets that Louie did not know and escaped, it would make Louie uneasy. As the final legacy of the Terrans, he could not afford to underestimate it. Therefore, Louie let it stay within his divine soul, under his watchful eye, to ensure peace of mind.
“I know the coordinates, but now is not the time to explore the remnants of the Terran civilization.”
Louis calmly responded.
In the past, he had inquired about the location of the homeworld of the Terran civilization, but the AI never revealed it. Now that it suddenly disclosed the location of its homeworld, Louie felt vigilant.
Even if he were to explore the ruins of the Terran civilization, Louie believed it would be necessary for him to reach the stage of high-tier divine power. Mid-tier divine beings could still pose a danger when facing such a civilization, but with high-tier divine power, the risk would be much lower. After all, it was a group of powerful divine beings that annihilated the Terran civilization.
Of course, if Louis achieved the level of the god of gods reaching the status of an ancient god, there would be no sense of crisis when dealing with the Terran civilization.
Although gods had many levels of prominence and power, true qualitative changes only occurred in three stages: achieving the position of a god, achieving high-tier divine power, and becoming the god of gods.
These three stages are the most challenging milestones in the life of a god. Therefore, during the peak period of San Soliel, there were only hundreds of gods, with only a handful possessing high-tier divine power, and none reaching the level of god of gods.
In the world of San Soliel despite the diversity of races and an uncountable total population of life, only a few hundred gods, a dozen or so powerful gods, had emerged. This illustrated how challenging the ascension to godhood can be.
The Terran civilization was far away from the Milky Way. Sedo far that humans can only imagine the distance.
But for gods, once they knew the coordinates, they could instantly traverse the vast gulfs between stars and arrive there. Such an endeavor was no different than taking a single step forward.
This was how gods viewed the world. There was no concept of difficulty or simplicity. There was only what could and couldn’t be done.
“For now our goal is to continue to move the people of Earth, create better sources of faith, and pave the way for me to achieve mighty divine power!”
[As you wish.]
The voice of the artificial intelligence echoed in Louis’s mind before falling silent.
