"But they gradually lost their sense of the ’World Origin.’

Qiu Tu blinked upon hearing this, looking as if waiting for Zhao Ji to explain.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji patiently elaborated on the full details of the ’God King Trap’ to Qiu Tu.

According to Zhao Ji, the ’God King Trap’ wasn’t originally discovered by her, but rather by the Divine Kings within the ’Heavenly Battlefield.’

Back in the day, the batch of Heavenly Gods entering the ’Heavenly Battlefield’ during the ’Heavenly Cataclysm’ were relatively late, so by then a batch of Divine Kings had already emerged in the ’Heavenly Battlefield.’ Moreover, all Six Great Paths were present.

However, at that time, these Divine Kings began to notice anomalies.

The Divine Kings of the Order, Chaos, and Destruction Paths found that as their power grew stronger, their sense of the ’World Origin’ also intensified.

In contrast, the Divine Kings of the Life, Mystery, and Immortality Paths found their sense of the ’World Origin’ weakening as their power grew.

Even more frightening... Normally, Divine Kings of the Six Great Paths could only devour and subdue Heavenly Gods of their own path to increase their power.

But... the Divine Kings of the Order, Chaos, and Destruction Paths could devour and subdue Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings of the Life, Mystery, and Immortality Paths.

This state naturally divided the Divine Kings into different ranks, creating hunters and prey.

In such circumstances, Heavenly Gods of the Life, Mystery, and Immortality Paths practically became the prey eyed by Divine Kings of the other three paths.

Divine Kings of the other three paths not only devoured Heavenly Gods of their own path but also those of the Life, Mystery, and Immortality Paths.

This directly led to the probability of becoming a Divine King in the Life, Mystery, and Immortality Paths plummeting.

Even if a Divine King did emerge, reaching the pinnacle was exceedingly difficult.

— Divine Kings of the Life, Mystery, and Immortality Paths could only devour Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings of their own path, but those of these paths were already targeted by others, making it scarce resources.

This was also the reason Zhao Ji decisively abandoned the ’Life’ Path back then.

As for why these Six Great Paths have such significant disparity, ’Divine Kings’ have made various speculations.

For instance, the ’World Direction Hypothesis.’

But without concrete evidence, there wasn’t a unified explanation....

After listening to Zhao Ji’s explanation, Qiu Tu had a general grasp of the ’God King Trap.’ Afterwards, he couldn’t help but feel a little frightened.

Luckily, he was a Deity of the ’Order’ Path. If he were like Larilo, a Deity of the ’Life’ Path, then like Zhao Ji, he would have no choice but to reincarnate and rebuild.

Understanding all this, Qiu Tu felt reassured in his heart.

Since his path was correct, he could confidently advance to ’Heavenly God.’

At that moment, Qing Lan, who had been listening to the conversation the whole time, stared with her big eyes and interjected,

"Wait a moment. What did you say earlier? ’Mystery’ is the ’Heavenly God Trap’?"

She pointed to herself, then said, "But... I am ’Mystery.’

Her lips pouted, and her finely carved jade-like face showed a look of wanting to cry but having no tears, "So, I took the wrong path?"

Hearing Qing Lan’s words, Zhao Ji glanced at her lightly and then said, "Most likely."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lan’s small face immediately showed a pitiful expression.

Her big watery eyes looked at Zhao Ji and, with a pout, she pitifully inquired, "Sister Zhao Ji, is there any chance for me?"

"Perhaps... I should reincarnate and rebuild too."

Upon hearing Qing Lan’s words, Qiu Tu’s heart thumped. He had worked hard to nurture Qing Lan into a Heavenly God.

It hadn’t been of use yet, and already she wanted to reincarnate and rebuild?

That’s too much of a loss!

However, before he could speak, Zhao Ji had already dismissed Qing Lan’s idea.

Zhao Ji looked deeply at Qing Lan before saying, "Reincarnating and rebuilding is not as simple as it seems."

"Everyone has a calamity path suited to them. This is determined by innate factors, not even influenced by experience."

"One’s experiences and personality can only affect ’branch paths.’

She gave an example, "Like Qiu Tu. His talent and path are ’Order.’ Even if he reincarnates several times, it probably won’t change."

"Only his branch path can change, determined by his experiences, mindset, and even his state at that time."

"So... changing one’s calamity path requires paying a huge price."

Since everyone was family here, Zhao Ji didn’t hide anything.

She said naturally, "To change my calamity path, I spent a massive amount of resources to split my soul."

"I separated the traits carrying my ’Life’ talent, only then allowing myself another chance to choose a path."

"Even then, I had to recuperate for many years, and even my talent was significantly affected."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji’s words, Qing Lan gave up.

She waved her little hand, then said, "That’s too troublesome."

"Forget it, forget it. Can’t reach the pinnacle, then it’s fine."

"Effort might not guarantee success, but not trying is certainly relaxing."

"So, I’ll just give up."

Seeing Qing Lan’s carefree attitude, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji exchanged glances, feeling a bit amused.

This girl, over the decades, might truly have indulged in letting go, and now it’s become a habit. Encountering any difficulty or troublesome matter, she thinks of retreating.
