The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 603 - 571: Godhood, Fate_1

Chapter 603: Chapter 571: Godhood, Fate_1

The two Outer Goddesses had a major disagreement for the first time.

Fury was undisguised in Ying Yue’s eyes.

She felt that Han Yi was being unreasonable, and she could excuse forming a secret alliance with Pang Jian in Dark Prison to plot for the Star Devourer.

After all, no Alien God Spirit could enter Dark Prison, and their actions, unknown to anyone, would not lead to trouble.

But in the Mysterious Fog, where gods abound, if Han Yi truly intended to stand up for Pang Jian and strike at another god spirit,

then without waiting for the High God who was making things difficult for her to make a move, Hemo Tian and Zimo, the two god spirits who controlled the overall situation, would ensure her fall in this world long before.

By association, Ying Yue would also be implicated, and she was naturally enraged.

"I was impulsive, sorry, Ying Yue."

Han Yi steadied her tumultuous heart and, staring at Pang Jian’s exposed chest cavity, used her exceptional Divine Aura to sense it.

At first panicked and concerned, seeing Pang Jian’s seemingly pitiful state appeared to be no serious problem, she slowly calmed down.

But Pang Jian was not grateful, distancing himself, he said, "My problems have nothing to do with you."

He also found it strange; with the Star Devourer gone, why hadn’t the two goddesses from beyond quickly dispatched the Star Devourer’s limbs via the Altar of Praying to God to leave?

What were they lingering in Dark Prison for?

"It’s Yang Luo, I’ve sensed the aura of Yang Luo corroding everything."

Han Yi’s expression turned cold, as though she hadn’t heard Pang Jian’s indifferent words, and said, "Ying Yue, once our business here is concluded, I’ll find some other excuse to confront Yang Luo in battle."

"Yang Luo!" Ying Yue was startled.

She urgently probed with her Divine Sense and also detected the dispersing corrosive Divine Power, confirming that Pang Jian’s previous adversary was indeed Yang Luo.

The Moon Goddess’s face changed slightly: "He actually managed to escape from Yang Luo!"

"Han Yi!"

Her voice rose as she exclaimed, "You don’t understand Yang Luo. As a Middle-level God, she should be more powerful than both of us."

"Moreover, she has recently gained the favor of that Sovereign. Even Hemo Tian and Zimo might not be able to command her now."

"At this time, provoking Yang Luo in Mysterious Fog is simply courting death."

Ying Yue’s eyes, filled with penetrating Divine Power, intensely focused on Pang Jian’s chest, observing the unique structure within his Immortal Primordial Spirit Body after losing some skin.

Suddenly, she said, "The healing of your injuries may require the help of Fate in Purgatory. It won’t be easy for you to recover in Dark Prison, a place that’s not yours."

Pang Jian’s brows moved, and he curiously inquired, "Fate?"

"It’s the so-called clouds and brocade that got entwined with your spiritual soul as you ascended to godhood," Ying Yue provided an answer.

Seeing that Han Yi had become silent, apparently calming down, she continued, "In the Star River beyond Mysterious Fog, such a substance doesn’t exist. Not every world marked with ’prison’ contains it."

"It seems that Dark Prison lacks this special... substance."

Ying Yue, evidently more knowledgeable than Han Yi, even understood Purgatory’s Godhood.

Pang Jian, whose skin could not be reformed, did not intend to engage with the two goddesses who had yet to leave, but when Ying Yue mentioned the clouds and brocade symbolizing Godhood, his curiosity was piqued.

Fate, Godhood, what exactly are they, and how are they formed? He was genuinely unclear.

Because of this, he had specifically asked Shifu, but even Shifu could not explain clearly.

"Is this substance unique to the world within Mysterious Fog?" Pang Jian asked.

"Mhm, it’s a mystical substance that, once merged with the soul, allows the soul to have a substantialized body. Its emergence seems to be related to the total number of living beings in a world and their levels of strength," Ying Yue explained while rubbing her smooth forehead.

Upon His forehead, the crescent and full moon markings suddenly brightened. He seemed to be communicating in this manner with His True Body in the Mysterious Fog, drawing memories related to this aspect from His True Self.

"Take your Purgatory as an example. The larger the population of the Purgatory Human Tribe, the more Cultivators will emerge," He said.

"When Cultivators practice, they need to absorb nature’s spiritual energy into their dantian and store it within their bodies."

"The higher the level of the Cultivator, the more of nature’s spiritual energy they can store within themselves."

"A vast amount of Spiritual Energy, when combined with human qi, which is the breath of life, seems capable of creating this marvelous substance known as Fate."

"As more and more Cultivators appear and more powerhouses are born, the limits of Fate will also break through," He explained.

"Whoosh!"

Ying Yue casually flicked her wrist, and fifteen Star Stones appeared, quietly floating in front of Her.

Each Star Stone contained Star Power within.

"These Star Stones are like positions of Godhood, and the Star Power within them is akin to Fate. Currently, in the Purgatory World, the Human Race altogether has fifteen positions of Godhood. This is the limit of Godhood," She elaborated.

"To create an additional position of Godhood, it takes time for the strength of the Human Race to slowly grow, for more people to practice cultivation, to grow stronger, and to blend the breath of life with Spiritual Energy."

"The Fate stored within the positions of Godhood is channeled into the bodies of powerful Human Race individuals. Once it fuses with the Spiritual Soul, the Divine Enthronement is considered a success."

"At that point, the Spiritual Soul becomes fully materialized and is no longer an ethereal Spiritual Body."

"If a warrior of the Human True God rank dies in Purgatory, or breaks the Heaven Forbidden and leaves Purgatory, only then will new Fate condense in the empty position of Godhood."

"In death, the Fallen’s Fate will return to the position of Godhood and any new challenger for True Godhood can channel it at any time."

"However, if a True God leaves Purgatory, since a thread of Fate is directly taken away, it will take longer for new Fate to condense."

"In any case, the number of Godhood positions rarely changes. It might take thousands of years, or even longer, for the Cultivators of the Human Race to grow stronger before an additional position of Godhood can be added," She said.

"Fate undergoes subtle changes due to the death and departure of True Gods."

"The birth of positions of Godhood for the Demon Gods is slightly different. The Demon Race, whether absorbing nature’s spiritual energy or fusing with Filth Alien Power, can create Demon God positions just like the Human Race can."

"If there are enough Demons, and they are strong enough, then more Demon God positions will be created."

"The races of the Fifth Realm rely on the combination of Filth Alien Power and the life force of living beings to foster a few seats, creating tenth-level Bloodline Fighters."

"Because this body of yours is special, a fusion of Spiritual Soul and Fate, if injured, it might need to be repaired through Fate."

"This world may not be able to heal you."

The Moon Goddess Ying Yue was elaborating the mysteries of Godhood and Fate in detail to Pang Jian, the newly born Human Race God.

Pang Jian listened very carefully.

He felt somewhat moved, yet also covertly vigilant.

Even his Shifu, Pu Zhaotian, had only a vague understanding of these matters, unable to articulate the reasons behind them.

Unexpectedly, these Alien Gods, not born of the "Purgatory" World, spoke with great clarity and authority.

The Alien God Spirits of the Outer Realm obviously held Purgatory in extremely high regard. To eradicate the Human Race, they had done a considerable amount of groundwork in the dark.

"That Sovereign, the Ghost Clan’s Zimo, and the Great Demon God He Motian, all wish to acquire the Fate of Purgatory and merge it into their own Spiritual Souls," She continued.

"They wish to achieve positions of Godhood within the Purgatory World in another way."

"Currently, that Sovereign has already succeeded," Ying Yue added.
