Chapter 368: Chapter 367: The Choice of Path! (New Book Uploaded, Please Add to Favorites, Please Support.)

Du Gang and the others had barely spent half a day in Heaven before successfully ascending to the Celestial God Level.

“So this is what the Celestial God Level is!”

Kou Yingwu wore a look of sudden realization, extremely proud of himself for achieving Celestial God status at such a young age.

Du Gang glanced at him dismissively, not bothering to reply.

Becoming a Celestial God was simpler than he had imagined.

If reaching the Celestial God Level with his physical body merely represented his individual strength,

Then when his Divine Soul and Divine Power reached the Celestial God Level, it represented his understanding of the world and his comprehension of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Comparing the True God Level and the Celestial God Level, it seemed to him like the difference between a student and a social member.

He believed that those below the Celestial God Level could be classified as students.

True God Level could be compared to a university student, close to society, yearning for society, yet not truly part of it.

And the God Spirit Level, compared to a high school student, striving and training hard, hoping to enter a good university.

The reason for this understanding was because when he watched Celestials, he clearly perceived that Celestial Gods were the main force to combat them.

The power of a Celestial God entails adhering to the Heavenly Dao, in a better position to slay Celestials.

Just like a university student graduating and stepping into society to start working.

Before entering society, all knowledge about society comes from hearsay, speculation, and rumors.

But when he actually steps into it, he realizes that all those years of study were for this very moment.

To do better in his work, to earn more money.

“So, whether it’s secret techniques, cultivation methods, or divine powers, they are just to help me better adapt to the struggle of being a Celestial God, and to better learn how to combat Celestials!”

Du Gang sighed, but felt everything was as it should be.

After all, the power of Celestial God originates from the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao mainly combats Celestials and the Demon Clan of the Abyss.

Therefore, their abilities lean more towards slaying Celestials.

The biggest difference between Celestial God Level and True God Level is that Celestial God Level allows large-scale invocation of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

“This is pretty much it!”

Standing by, the Guide stepped forward and laughingly said, “For Celestial Gods, what people value most is resonance.”

“The divines, secrets, cultivation methods and so forth that you’ve studied previously are all resonances perceived by predecessors in the Heavenly Dao.”

“If you want to dominate at the Celestial God Level, to be honest, other people’s things can’t help you achieve this. You can only rely on yourself…”

He looked up at the sky and said calmly, “You can only rely on what you have personally realized to truly support you in continuing your journey.”

Hearing this, Du Gang frowned slightly, “If that’s the case, why do we have distinctions such as Heavenly Level and Earth Rank Cultivation Methods?”

“And, I’ve heard that Heavenly Level Cultivation Methods are useful even when one reaches the sage, even the Supreme…”

“Hehe!”

The Guide let out a hearty laugh, as if he’d heard something hilarious.

Kou Yingwu and the others also came over, eager to hear the God King’s explanation.

The Guide laughed for a while before gradually stopping.

He sighed with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, “Heaven Earth Xuan Huang, these four levels of cultivation methods, in the end, are nothing more than a formula!”

“A formula left behind by the Supreme, saints, God Kings and all sorts of random people.”

“A standard method. Do you understand? This cultivation method was created for the creator himself.”

“Each person is different, each person has their unique aspects, and no one can be completely the same as anyone else.

The Guide looked at Du Gang meaningfully, “Why are these things so coveted in large clans and considered so important in the secular world?”

“It’s simply because, the more compatible people are with these high-level cultivation methods, the more likely they are to get closer to their ancestors!”

“For instance, for a Heavenly Level Cultivation Method created by a Supreme, among his two descendants, one has a 10% comprehension level and the other just 1%, how do you think the other descendants would view these two?”

Without hesitation, Du Gang replied, “Naturally, they would think the person with the 10% comprehension level has more talent, and more resources would be tilted towards him.”

“Exactly!”

The Guide nodded his head, smiling faintly, “The ancient families, for the sake of their lineage, often pay more attention to this.”

“High comprehension means there’s a greater chance of producing someone stronger, but also more similar to one’s own ancestor…”

“However!”

He quickly interjected, “However, once these people choose this path, they often lose their chance to be certified as Supreme!”

He looked around, glancing at Du Gang and then at Kou Yingwu, finally returning his gaze to Du Gang before speaking solemnly, “A Heavenly Level Cultivation Method created by a Supreme can make one achieve Celestial Godhood, make one become a God King, or even help some geniuses achieve sainthood. However, this Heavenly Level Cultivation Method will absolutely not allow a person to ascend to Supreme!”

“Even…even if the person originally had the potential to achieve Supremacy, once he chooses this path, it is no longer possible!”

Du Gang furrowed his eyebrows, feeling as if he had come to a fork in the road of his life.

The Guide smiled without hurrying to speak.

After allowing them some time to digest this information, he continued, “Each Supreme is unique and has their own personal mark!””

“Will a genius with the mark of another person be able to achieve Supremacy?!”

In this moment, Du Gang had a sudden moment of clear understanding.

This principle, in terms of his former life on Earth, resembled the difference between the first generation of wealth and the second generation.

Not only that, a more apt analogy would be the difference between a great man and his son.

The situation can be roughly analogous to that of Liu Bei and Liu Chan, Qin Shi Huang and Hu Hai.

In order for one to achieve the accomplishments of Qin Shi Huang or Liu Bei, they must rely on themselves, going step by step to create their own world.

Otherwise, no matter how capable a descendant may be, he is only completing the details of a building that has already been erected.

This is just like the many emperors throughout history, with people often remembering the founding emperor the most.

Fearing they didn’t understand, the Guide added, “It’s as if there are some roads that you will never understand unless you walk them yourself, even if you master a Heavenly Level Cultivation Method with 100% comprehension, you still cannot attain the rank of Supreme!”

Kou Yingwu, Tao Xuanzhu and the others were confused, not understanding why it was this way.

As for Du Gang, he had a moment of enlightenment.

Living on Earth, he had seen some peculiar phenomena.

Some self-made first-generation rich people are very frugal in their lifestyle. They wouldn’t even enter a luxurious storefront to consume, even though their passive income earned in a second could easily buy the whole store—it still wouldn’t appeal to them.

In contrast, those second-generation individuals who grow up in very affluent conditions have everything available to them—luxurious cars, houses, and all kinds of indulgences—and they enjoy themselves comfortably without any guilt.

Two different mentalities!

Du Gang murmured to himself, “What’s important is not the achievement itself, but the process. The process of striving is what truly shapes a person.”

At these words, a light shone in the Guide’s eyes.

He stared at Du Gang with sparking eyes, unable to suppress his admiration.

“Your understanding is truly amazing!”

“Yes, to achieve the Supreme, one must carve their own path. Only then can they truly ascend to the Supreme. Otherwise, even with the best talent, those who persist in practicing the Heavenly Level Cultivation Method will eventually falter and halt their progress.”

Du Gang slowly nodded, “This, in fact, has formed two paths a long time ago.”

For instance, someone born in hardship during chaotic times can lay the foundation for a lasting legacy. freēnovelkiss.com

In contrast, someone born in prosperity during peaceful times can only earn themselves the title of benevolent monarch, no matter how hard they work.

“I’m glad I still have the chance to choose!”

Du Gang showed a subtle smile.

Indeed, being born in prosperous times means enjoying the fruits of their predecessor’s labor, living in comfort and peace.

However, it also means missing out on the opportunity to advocate for the masses, correct the world’s wrongs, and seek justice.

Now, he was standing at a crossroads where he had the chance to choose.

As if prosperous and chaotic times coexisted, letting him choose.

Choosing to be a rich man in the prosperous times, or choosing to be a hero in turbulent times.

“It would be too boring to simply leave the human world after such a rare visit, wouldn’t it?!”

Du Gang laughed, even if he was not the body of the Ancient God, even without the blessing of fate, he would still choose this path.

The Supreme, no matter how difficult the path is, he will choose to move forward!

“Hahaha!”

Watching this scene, the Guide broke into a hearty laugh once again.

He stroked his imaginary long beard, a satisfied expression on his face.

“If you can achieve the Supreme, my guiding effort would not be wasted!”

After he finished speaking, his figure slowly faded away.

Seeing this, Du Gang hastily asked, “Senior, what is your name?!”

For a person coming to enlighten his path, he held some gratitude.

“The name is just a code, you can call me Nameless!”

In the void, a disembodied voice echoed.

“Nameless…”

Du Gang and the others murmured this word, unable to calm their emotions for a long time.

On the side, Kou Yingwu and the others were lost in confusion.

They roughly understood the Guide’s saying, realizing that being a Celestial God is a choice between two paths. One leads to the Supreme, purely relying on themselves.

The other path is to methodically cultivate the Heavenly Level Cultivation Method, with a certain possibility of becoming a God King, a very small chance of becoming a virtuous and wise person, but absolutely no chance to achieve the Supreme.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two paths are very clear. One symbolizes higher potential, and the other represents a secure career.

This is much like a recent graduate contemplating their future, whether to strive for their dreams or for a house.

Striving for a house offers stability, which is what most people choose, and it’s the easiest choice.

Because in choosing this path, many people can help them, their tribal chiefs, uncles, and even ancestors, all chose this path.

It can guide them better, giving them plenty of assistance.

On the other hand, those who choose the Supreme, or those who strive for their dreams, face great uncertainty, the biggest risk.

One might remain at the Celestial God Level for their entire life, or struggle entire life barely advancing to God King.

But, there’s a trace of hope of ascending to the Supreme!

Being the offspring of traditional large families or inheritors of major sects, the three of them, excluding Du Gang, know very well how difficult it is to walk the path to the Supreme.

“That senior we just met was clearly once a peerless genius, but he fell here…”

Kou Yingwu struggled, “In history, many who sought the path to Supreme ultimately fell.”

Before they got here, his father had advised him to choose the secure path.

After all, in his father’s eyes, even if his son, Kou Yingwu, could become a God King in the future, it would be an incredible honor. And the path to the Supreme is even more difficult?!

“What about your thoughts?!”

Du Gang looked at the tormented Kou Yingwu and asked calmly.

Kou Yingwu was speechless, the words lingered on his lips but failed to come out.

He had his answer early on. His education from a young age and his character built through experiences had instilled in him that choosing a secure path is the highway.

He lacked the desperate determination of those who climbed from the bottom and hadn’t experienced the grueling hardships from terror, he was content with life.

Du Gang smiled, “I see, the Heavenly Level Cultivation is also quite good. If you become a virtuous and wise man, you might just become an immortal elder in your clan!”

Hearing these words, Kou Yingwu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He felt as though he had betrayed Du Gang, just like a young man who should have opted for struggle but instead chose comfort – it made him feel guilty. Fortunately, Du Gang understood him.

Du Gang turned his gaze to Tao Xuanzhu and Zhang Xinyi, who seemed no different.

Their expressions and demeanor were indistinguishable from Kou Yingwu. They too lacked the core drive to battle desperately.

One, a saint of a major sect, the other, a daughter of a God King. These backed positions were reasons they lacked the motivation to risk their lives.

This is not about whether they could take the risk, but whether they wanted to. This concept has been destined since birth.

“In that case, let’s part ways after this time!”

Du Gang said indifferently, he knew what he would face next, instead of being forced to separate, it’s better to part on good terms!

Upon hearing this, the other three all hung their heads in silence, avoiding his gaze.

Just then, their sight began to change again. Even though their bodies have not moved, they were no longer in the Heavenly Realm.

The surroundings transformed back into the space of the Heavenly Court.

The only difference was that the space originally symbolizing the True God Level now represented the Celestial God Level.

[Congratulations on advancing to Celestial God, the task interval is adjusted to: one year to one hundred years.]

[The teleportation portal’s communication space is automatically upgraded to the highest level.]

After receiving the instructions from the Heavenly Court, Du Gang looked at the other three and said, “Let’s part ways then, see you in the Jianghu”

The instant he finished speaking, he chose to dissolve the team.

At the same time, the other three disappeared instantly. The moment the team was disbanded, they returned to their individual spaces.
