Chapter 1489 The Essence Of The Path Of Divinity.
----In the inner world of a world beast.
The tree father, in his elf form, is here. Legion-1 is not here anymore, but the whole inner space is his body, so he is always present. Legion-unity is also present. They are not here for anything major. In fact, they hope that there won't be anything that needs their help. They hope to just watch.
Soverick said to everyone present and absent, "We have everything we need. I think it is time."
They would have liked to delay and plan better. The Tree Father in particular wanted to get as many domains as possible, but they can't anymore because Legion-8 encountered a world god in the egg. That encounter has made it urgent that they get ready to have him hatch as soon as possible. So the Tree Father has to start his breakthrough now.
Fortunately, they have everything they need for the breakthrough. They have an Authority of the Celestial Supreme, a spark of consciousness, and several divine domains. These are all present within the white halo around the Tree father's head. The next thing they need is to fuse the domains that he has accumulated all this time.
Legion-unity couldn't wait. He said with some anticipation, "It has been a long time coming."
The Tree father said, "It wasn't that long ago when we reincarnated. It is just almost one Origin cycle."
Legion-unity insisted, "It is still a long time coming."
So the gods should be the ones mocking those on the path of perfection. Unfortunately, gods are shackled with many rules. They can't even leave the planes they became gods on, so they can't be taken seriously by those on the path of perfection who can leave the realm entirely.
The essence of the two paths of power is different. They have their advantages and disadvantages. Those on the path of perfection have to rely on themselves and their comprehension of laws to strengthen themselves. They have to risk their lives to become titans of law, and they could die as titans of law. They still have to risk their lives to become Origin gods.
Their struggle makes the path of perfection dangerous, and it also fills those who have succeeded on it with pride. They are proud of their achievement, and they are rewarded with immortality.
Gods also risk their lives when they ascend or try to become Celestials, but they always have the support of others. As long as they have faith, they can't die on the line for their power. That undermines the danger they go through.
A god can grow from the level of a low god and become a great god without any issues as long as they have an ample supply of faith. But a transcendent without opposition or enemies can fail to become a titan of law despite his or her best efforts.
So gods are looked down upon. This disdain culminates in the fact that Celestials rarely reach the level of a Supreme Origin god. It is so rare that many people don't know that it is possible for gods to attain that kind of power.
It is understandable since no Celestial has ever achieved it in the history of high heaven realm. But if a Celestial manages to become a divine spark, then the reward would be worth the struggle. They will finally be able to enjoy the essence of the path of divinity without restrictions.
The essence of the path of perfection is the reliance on one's efforts to achieve perfection. The opposite is the case for gods. They rely on others to acquire power. They use the beliefs of people as a source of faith, which they convert to divinity and divine energy through their godfire. This ability to produce divinity is the essence of the path of divinity.
