Chapter 599: Chapter 599: The Perilous Path of the Demigod

Fang Jie’s brain was now working at its fastest speed, and one could say that since arriving in this world, he had never felt danger so close.

Even when he first came to this world, Fang Jie’s luck had allowed him to avoid such immediate danger.

Analyzing various materials, Fang Jie indeed discovered a special pattern. There was indeed a cycle of Demigods massively disappearing and newly emerging Demigods appearing, roughly every thirty years.

And the next time was just around the corner. If he had broken through now, then he might very likely be among the Demigods to be cleansed. It was not a mere possibility, but a certainty.

Fang Jie wasn’t sure whether, after the extensive purge, there would be sporadic divine purges as well.

Therefore, he dared not gamble against the gods. Not to mention he had not achieved Demigod status, even at the peak he would have had no strength to resist.

If he was really targeted, all he could do was wait. What he could do was figure out a way to avoid being targeted. Fortunately, as long as he didn’t breakthrough to Demigod and didn’t show anything special, the gods wouldn’t kill him.

An insignificant little ant would not even be worth scolding.

"This matter, many Demigods probably know, maybe even most know, but no one dares to discuss it."

Fang Jie secretly took note of those Demigods who always emerged to stir troubles and distract attention whenever something happened; it was obvious they were doing just that. Even those who usually kept silent would start diverting topics at these times.

And these Demigods were likely the ones who had benefited.

To the gods, nurturing their own Demigods was obviously better than training newcomers.

With the help of gods, their potential wouldn’t be affected. In a darker light, gods might even prefer their potential to be diminished. After all, such people could never pose a threat to them.

Perhaps it was for this reason some people secretly collaborated to expose such news.

It was unknown whether this was the eruption of a sense of justice from beneficiaries or the lament of victims.

Or maybe some people, after surpassing this level, had secretly discovered something and thus banded together to rebel. Even whether this was a trap set by the gods, Fang Jie thought a lot about it.

However, as he continued his analyses and calculations, Fang Jie discovered it was almost impossible for this to be a trap set by gods.

Because no matter from which angle he analyzed, there was no benefit for the gods.

Even potential ambiguous benefits seemed absent, so it must have had nothing to do with the gods. They didn’t need to tarnish their reputations just for the sake of a trap.

Suppressing his desire to break through quickly, Fang Jie slowed down his absorption of Origin Power and increased his analytical speed.

Extracting information from this vast amount of data was extremely difficult. Many things were even wrapped in many layers, and each layer had to be peeled away to see what lay inside.

And these layers were not entirely useless; on the contrary, they were all substantial.

There were many speculations and imaginations about Demigods, even writings from Demigods themselves. The true from false within was hard to distinguish, and without his high Spiritual Strength, Fang Jie would not have been able to analyze these materials.

Sometimes, to analyze, Fang Jie would directly consume World Origin to assist.

At this point, Fang Jie, for safety’s sake, no longer cared about the consumption of a bit of World Origin. Even if it all got used up, clarifying the situation was very worthwhile.

Gradually, Fang Jie found an article elucidating the path of Demigods.

Similarly hidden among various data, Fang Jie peeled away two layers before discovering it. Ordinary people could hardly see this, and even if they did, they might think this was the final data.

"The path of Demigods, it originally began at the Legendary level."

Fang Jie thought to himself as he looked at the description: the Legendary level was just a seeding stage.

To reach Demigod status, the foundation at the Legendary level must be solid. And whatever the seed is at that time would also define the path of laws later. Troops didn’t need to worry about these, as their foundations are innate and unchangeable.

Here arose another issue, that of innate troops forming Demigods was entirely different from ordinary Demigods.

Troop Demigods were forged through trials and then received blessings directly from their Territory’s communication with the World Laws to become Demigods.

Thus, upon the death of troop Demigods, it was hard to leave behind Divine Fragments, though not impossible. However, these Divine Fragments could only be used as material and had no other use.

Normal natives couldn’t absorb them because there was absolutely no compatibility.

These Divine Fragments would reject anyone, rendering them unusable. Thus, such Demigods weren’t harvested by gods, which meant they were very safe, wait, safe.

Fang Jie suddenly realized that he might have found what he was searching for.

If gods refrained from harvesting, then this compatibility must be very crucial.

Following this, Fang Jie began to check on the issues regarding normal Demigod Divine Fragments. When Demigods died, they left Divine Fragments. The gods likely had a higher chance of creating such fragments when they acted, and these fragments were what other Legends could merge to achieve Demigod status.

It could elevate someone in one step, but not all Divine Fragments were successful.

Here, compatibility was also an issue.

High compatibility meant the Divine Fragment was easier to merge and more likely to function effectively.

After success, one could become a Demigod, but if it failed, injury was likely. The light consequence was a decrease in strength with no progress, and in severe cases, it might lead to immediate death.

If the line of the Divine Fragment diverged too greatly from one’s own, even being diametrically opposite, then the chances of success approached zero. Thus, melding Divine Fragments was not absolutely safe.

Even the probability of successful integration wasn’t absolute.

A Divine Fragment could only merge once; after a failure, it would disappear, not allowing repeated experiments.

That meant, most harvested troop Demigods likely also became troop Demigods. Thus, whoever acted must surely be from one’s own Camp, Fang Jie thought to himself.

It seemed not only was the Undead Camp itself highly dangerous and combative, but other Camps were probably the same.

Only, other Camps were more secretive and harder to detect. Unfortunately, such news couldn’t be made public; whether others would believe it or not was unknown, but he was certain to be killed, perhaps a fate worse than death, given the many methods at the gods’ disposal.
