Chapter 887 - Hyperion Galaxy

'Hold on. The situation might not be as hopeless as it seems,' Leon suddenly thought.

Although he felt tremendous pressure, it also let him think with greater clarity.

According to what he knew—or rather what he had been told, there hasn't been a single True Divinity since the primordial era.

Despite all the primordial heritage in the world, Half-step True Divinity appears to be the limit for everyone.

'What's stopping beings like the Eternal Night Demon Empress from taking the last half-step to become a True Divinity? Or is it simply too big of a dream that mortals could become gods themselves?'

Leon pondered.

'Just as the True Divinities could not transcend beyond godhood and become something greater, mortals also cannot transcend beyond mortality? Is this the natural order of things? That we cannot ascend beyond the bracket of existence we are born into?'

Leon found it strange.

Despite the high-level laws that awakeners can obtain from awakening their True Divinity's soul fragment, not a single person had yet actually achieved True Divinity.

Evidently, the issue of achieving True Divinity didn't lie in the laws but something else—something the True Divinities have from the primordial era that the current world doesn't have.

'True Grandmist Energy?' Leon guessed.

It seemed like True Grandmist Energy was the only plausible explanation. But how does True Grandmist Energy determine one's ascension to True Divinity?

Even if Leon wanted to know, it wasn't something he could find an answer to at his level.

'True Grandmist Energy might be related, but I don't think it's the exact answer either,' Leon thought with furrowed brows.

If True Grandmist Energy truly is the answer to True Divinity, the first wielder of the Nihility Law shouldn't have been stuck at the Half-step True Divinity level like the others.

Nevertheless, that was just his assumption.

No one knows if the first wield of Nihility Law could have achieved True Divinity or not if he was given time.

It could just be one big disappointment in the end.

But that was just a hypothetical situation; it doesn't change the reality that the person is already dead.

'You don't need to feel too pressured by the Empyrean Infinite Void's existence,' Maya suddenly assured him.

'If we think about it, there weren't any powerful cultivators back in the Divine Realm that specialized in the Spatial Law. Thus, we can assume that Empyrean Infinite Void doesn't have any incarnation in the Hyperion Galaxy.'

'The Hyperion Galaxy?' Leon asked.

'Oh?' Maya uttered surprise and asked, 'You didn't know?'

'Basically, the Four Divine Regions of the Divine Realm and the collection of Desolate Regions outside of it are part of the Hyperion Galaxy. Every star that hasn't been separated by the boundless void beyond is all included.'

'I see…' Leon uttered.

Having lived a short 30 years in the Divine Realm and spending most of his time learning alchemy and medicine at that, it was clear that he didn't know much about anything else.

'So no incarnations in the Hyperion Galaxy, huh? We don't know that for sure,' Leon suddenly shook his head.

'The Desolate Regions are much larger than the Divine Realm; it would be exceedingly difficult to cultivate if any of Empyrean Infinite Void's incarnations landed in those regions. Her incarnations can't become powerful even if she wants them to in that place.'

The Desolate Regions weren't so harsh that they were uninhabitable. In fact, mortals are more than capable of living fulfilling lives there—but only for mortals.

For cultivators, the Desolate Regions were a nightmare. The absence of spirit energy, let alone divine energy makes it impossible to cultivate.

'I don't know if you are aware, but the Desolate Regions are called the Desolate Regions for a reason; they're nothing like anywhere else in the Divine Realm. You can find plants growing in that place, but they won't produce a speck of spirit energy,' Leon stated.

It was an enigma that baffled everyone.

Not even the greatest minds in the Divine Realm could figure out why the plants cannot produce spirit energy in the Desolate Regions.

'Nevertheless, last I checked, we aren't in the Divine Realm anymore… I mean, we are kind of, but not really. This field of stars is completely cut off from the rest of the Divine Realm,' Leon continued.

'Here, everyone seems to have a dormant soul fragment of True Divinity sleeping inside them. And last I checked again; we don't know all the experts in this starfield. So we can't say for certain that Empyrean Infinite Void doesn't have any other incarnations here.'

Leon recalled the six other maids with Void Soul Constitutions in the Darkmoon Tribe. He suspected that they also had soul fragments of Empyrean Infinite Void sleeping inside them.

'I was just trying to cheer up, not start a debate with you,' Maya nonchalantly said.

'But since we are on this topic, I will just go ahead and say this; even if you are aware of the possibility, there's nothing you can do. You can only cultivate hard and hope that Empyrean Infinite Void has no ill intentions towards your woman.'

'Right,' Leon nodded.

He was aware of that.

After Leon ended his discussion with Maya, he immediately perused the Empyrean Void Body Law to understand its nature.

Even if it was Empyrean Infinite Void's technique, it might not be the most suitable body forging method for Darlene.

Alas, after Leon read through content recorded in the Empyrean Void Body Law, he immediately changed his mind.

It was indeed the most suitable method for Darlene.

Even if he had yet to search through all of the body forging methods on the bookshelf, he didn't have the slightest doubt that the Empyrean Void Body Law was the best choice.

"If Darlene trains in this technique, she will acquire the Empyrean Void Physique… But, honestly, I'm still in disbelief that such a technique exists," Leon muttered with lingering shock after reading through the Empyrean Void Body Law. 

Practicing the Empyrean Void Body Law and acquiring the Empyrean Void Physique allows the person to manipulate space with just their body movements.

Nevertheless, that was just one of the several advantages listed, but it was also the most shocking.
