Chapter 1624 - 1192: Choice of Trial
Lift up to the Heavenly Kingdom, step into Heaven, and achieve the Six Wings! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Since ancient times, the Six-winged Divine Lord has been the ultimate dream of millions of mages, the pinnacle of magic, the end of the path. Before the fall of the Source Angel, Vishi’s dream was to become the Six-winged Divine Lord, overlooking Heaven, ruling Eternity, so that nothing would be above her, the Lord’s orders would be Fate, the Lord’s will would be Law.
Even though the Seven Layers of Void Realm were born, the suspended Heavenly Throne welcomed the Supreme of Magic, but the Six-winged Rank still remained the unquestionable absolute powerhouse.
To ascend to Divine Lord, two widely known essential conditions are the Magic Temple and the World Secret Domain.
And now they have a total of three World Secret Domains: Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, Sky Garden, Ancient Battlefield. If distributed with one per person, it equals the potential ascension of three Divine Lords!
But here comes the problem, they have both the Magic Temple and the World Secret Domain, but how to lift up to the Heavenly Kingdom?
Concerning the key to ascension to Divine Lord, even the Gospel Divine Beings have no information. Ash and the others thought they would have to slowly research the World Secret Domain, spending decades or centuries to possibly discover its secrets, triggering the mechanism of the Void Realm, and then possibly welcoming an ascension ritual or similar.
They never imagined that ascension to Divine Lord would not be an automated process, but would require manual notification.
"Actually, to be precise, ascension to Divine Lord requires three conditions." The Drama Poet held up three fingers: "First, possessing a Heavenly Position Temple of over 1000 palaces, otherwise the World Secret Domain cannot be accommodated; second, mastering the World Secret Domain; third, establishing an Eternal Wonder in the World Secret Domain."
Vishi was somewhat puzzled: "Must it be an Eternal Wonder?"
"The effect of the Eternal Wonder is not the focus, the focus is the Eternal Wonder itself, representing the mage condensing the ’authority’ of the World Secret Domain into the wonder. The mage only needs to master the key of the Eternal Wonder to mobilize all resources of the World Secret Domain, truly occupying the World Secret Domain." The Drama Poet said, "To put it metaphorically, since all World Secret Domains belong to the Void Realm, a mage seizing a World Secret Domain is like kidnapping a concubine from the emperor’s harem. Although the concubine is taken by you, she’s not devoted to you until you hold the key to her heart, and only then will she faithfully submit to you."
"You actually never had the opportunity before." Ash looked at Vishi, "Before your reincarnation, you only had the Upper Temple, and couldn’t fulfill the Heavenly Position Temple condition."
"Not necessarily," the Drama Poet said, "Actually, there are quite a few ways to expand the Magic Temple, such as expanding a little every year during tribulations in Hell, though it takes a longer time. However, generally speaking, mages capable of stepping into Heaven can basically obtain the Heavenly Position Temple in the demigod promotion ceremony."
"Ghost Prophet, you might attribute your past frustrations to the Fate curse brought by the Second Cycle Divine Being, but from the moment you took a shortcut over the demigod ceremony, relying on the soul to bear Hell, you were destined for failure." The Drama Poet said bluntly, "You’ve been too reliant on your past life’s experience, staying comfortable without facing challenges, making it easy for the curse to destroy all your efforts."
"Reincarnation isn’t impossible, the Glass Time Master managed to reincarnate using time and shine as the Six-winged Divine Lord in ancient times, proving this path works. But you focused only on the ’Second Cycle Divine Being’ after inheriting the Glass Time legacy, without taking the Glass Time Master’s words to heart, which is the reason for your greater failure in the second life."
Vishi was silent for a moment, then softly said, "I prepared with all I had not for mere survival but for reincarnation."
"The curse of the Second Cycle Divine Being hasn’t weakened because you died and came back to life, but now you’re hardly affected," the Drama Poet looked at Ash, "That’s because you encountered the greatest challenge of the third life."
Ash pointed at himself, eyes wide in surprise: "Aren’t I her blessing?"
The Drama Poet clicked his tongue and said, "That’s right, keep it up, her curse will eventually be soothed by you."
Vishi’s mouth twitched, continuing to ask, "Now that we have the Heavenly Position Temple, the World Secret Domain, and the Eternal Wonder, how can we lift up to the Heavenly Kingdom?"
"I can’t directly tell you." The Drama Poet said, "You’ll need to complete a trial, and the Void Realm will naturally give you a hint."
"A trial?"
"Though called a trial, it can also be seen as a reward." The Drama Poet said, "Once you master the World Secret Domain and hold the Eternal Wonder, you will essentially cut a piece of flesh from the Void Realm, which will notice you. You know the Void Realm isn’t friendly to thieves like you, and all your power comes from the Void Realm, even if you can fully control your Void Wings source power, the Void Realm has already infiltrated every part of you, from soul body to soul, heart to knowledge, like symbiotic bacteria — unavoidable and undetectable."
"Once detected with the potential to lift up to the Heavenly Kingdom, the Void Realm will activate symbiotic bacteria within you, trying to destroy you from the inside. If you can’t overcome this trial, there’s no point in talking further, but if you can, you’ll completely rid yourself of the Void Realm’s impact, truly mastering your destiny."
"Only then will the World Secret Domain truly belong to you, and you’ll naturally receive hints to lift up to the Heavenly Kingdom from the World Secret Domain. It’s like you’ve escaped the emperor’s control with the concubine, only then will she settle down with you."
