Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1260: Seeking For An Ascension Path To Divinity, Fierce Confrontation

This path was different for Orion, who had ascended to demigodhood with the help of the White Flame, allowing him to grasp some of its essence and utilize it for himself.

Unlike gods who ascend by mastering the laws of the universe, one way a demigod can ascend to divinity is to grasp at least one law, usually a law-adjacent ability of the laws of the universe, and refine it into a divine authority, forming a divine core.

This core serves as their foundation for ascending into divinity, transforming their body, soul, and mind into divine beings. Even then, they still require many resources and face challenges ahead, making the path to divinity treacherous.

Although Orion, like Gina, possessed great potential, and his gift contained divine power, making it a form of a law-adjacent ability, he was uncertain if he could follow in the footsteps of the demigods.

He was troubled by the challenges he would face and unsure if this was the correct path for his ascent to divinity. As an anomaly, he knew this was a journey he was meant to take alone.

However, with two unfathomable individuals and a mysterious entity before him, only a fool would not seek guidance, acknowledging that he felt lost.

Upon hearing Orion’s questions, a heavy silence filled the air as General Reynold and Oberon wore solemn expressions.

They had been thinking about this issue from the start, especially since both had suffered from the curse when it first emerged. For General Reynold, it had disrupted his ascension to true divinity, causing him to fail and transforming him into the entity known as White Flame.

Oberon, the originator of the curse, had endured its effects for thousands of years, far more than any other being in existence. As such, they didn’t want future generations who had made it this far to suffer the same fate.

"You are right. Your worries are warranted. It is nearly impossible for a divine being to master the laws of the universe with such a chaotic curse raging within them, disrupting their efforts—much less for a demigod who has just ascended to divinity," General Reynold responded.

"But you needn’t worry. We’ve been considering this issue as well. With your physique, which has been cleansed and reforged by the White Flame, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to take the same paths as a demigod. However, Vylkr energy is an unpredictable curse, and even we can’t fathom how it will react when used this way."

"As an anomaly, your path has already diverged from any ordinary being, so even if you take such a path, it won’t necessarily be the same. There will be countless challenges awaiting you. Therefore, we won’t urge you to take this path just yet, but instead, wait until we are certain," General Reynold explained.

"For your partners who have ascended to godhood, the solution is simple: capture a Vylkr spawn alive and bring it to Paradise so we can study it and figure out how Naka managed to do it. This is the fastest and safest way to aid their ascent, rather than trying afresh with many trials and errors."

"Though they may face the same fate as Anomalies. But, since they also ascended with the help of the Will of the Twelve Step Stairs, ’it’ will do its best to guide them forward and ensure that their challenges are lessened. ’It’ is only doing this because ’it’ trusts you have Paradise’s best interests at heart," General Reynold concluded.

Orion initially felt defeated when he heard General Reynold’s words, but as he continued to speak, a look of expectation emerged on his face. He pondered on the plan deeply.

Upon learning of their intention to capture a Vylkr spawn alive and bring it to Paradise, his eyes widened, and his expression shifted to one of shock, surprise, and dumbfoundedness.

Although he had initially thought of such a plan, he had quickly pushed it to the back of his mind. After all, capturing a Vylkr spawn wasn’t a feat that could be easily achieved.

Even capturing two Divine Corps members had been challenging: the first, which they had been unable to keep alive for fear of bringing ruin to Paradise, and the second, which hadn’t been captured by them but was given to them by the Will of the Divine Mysteries, with her abilities sealed and her entire being bound, due to uncertainty about her powers, similar to the first case.

Given all this, Orion wasn’t confident about capturing a Vylkr spawn alive, even with his current strength.

"You don’t need to feel pressured. All you have to do is lure the Vylkr spawn here, and we will handle the rest ourselves," Oberon responded.7

"Alright. Once everything is settled within Paradise, I will lure a Vylkr spawn here so we can capture it," Orion replied with a nod. "They and other formidable figures should be drawn by the change in Paradise’s former territory, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find them."

Upon hearing Orion’s words, Oberon and General Reynold exchanged glances and sighed quietly.

"You are right. The appearance of the horrendously transformed Paradise’s former territory should attract the Vylkr spawns and other formidable entities. However, that is no longer the case, as it has attracted something greater," General Reynold said, revealing this information to Orion.

With a thought, a transparent screen emerged before them, showing what was happening on Paradise’s former territory.

Orion couldn’t help but frown as he focused on the video with rapt attention.

The video showed only a dark void with a humanoid figure radiating an intense white light, pushing against a ripple in the fabric of space.

Every time the figure’s fist struck the ripple, a bright light spread across the void, accompanied by a resonating "BANG!" that twisted the void before it dissipated and reformed with each punch. The radiant humanoid figure reminded Orion of a particular entity.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries!

Without a doubt, Orion was sure it was ’it.’ After all, only one being radiated such an intense light and possessed such terrifying power.

"Where is this? And is that...?" Orion asked, trailing off. He didn’t need to finish the question, confident they understood what he was asking.

Although Orion had his suspicions, he wasn’t about to jump to conclusions until he received confirmation.

"This is outside this Realm, on Paradise’s former territory. And yes, that is the Will of the Divine Mysteries, but not the one we know of. According to what we’ve gathered, it’s attempting to break into our Realm," General Reynold responded.

"Although I hate to admit it, it might have stood a chance if Paradise were still the same Realm it once was. But now that we’ve grown to this level, it will be difficult for ’it’ to achieve that. Regardless, we are safe from intrusion for now. However, our path to the outside Realm is blocked due to this confrontation."

Though stunned that this was what remained of their former territory, Orion sighed in relief that it wasn’t the Will of the Divine Mysteries they were familiar with. Despite lingering suspicions about its intentions, it would have been disappointing if it suddenly turned against them after all the assistance it had provided.

Orion couldn’t help but frown as he heard General Reynold’s last words.

"What do we do then? If our path to the outside Realm is blocked, wouldn’t it be impossible to lure a Vylkr spawn into this Realm?" He asked, his tone and expression solemn.

He hadn’t realized they were facing another crisis so soon after emerging from the last one.

"We have already thought of a solution, which is why we are choosing to inform you about this situation," General Reynold said. "Another way to leave this Realm is by entering the Spirit Realm and using a Spiritual Link Point to venture into the outside Realm. Unlike what you may know, the Spirit Realm overlaps with every Realm or emerging dimension, and ours is no exception."

"All we need to do is find the point where the overlap is strongest and use it to enter the Spirit Realm. However, the Spirit Realm is a place even I am not too familiar with. The last time I journeyed there was to capture a god who had escaped to hide. I managed to capture and eliminate him, including his avatars and any other methods he had left for reincarnation, along with his race, so there was no way for him to return."

"But while there, I encountered a powerful spirit beast and formed a good relationship with it. If not for their strength being halved when brought outside the Spirit Realm and the resources required to train them, I would have brought it into the Material Realm. All you need to do is form a force to accompany you, as there will be many unexpected dangers. The more capable the force, the better."

Orion nodded with a solemn expression. He had just finished discussing the Spirit Realm with HX-09 a few hours ago, and now they were planning a journey into it.
