Chapter 383 - 200: Fourth Transformation

In summary, in this world with limited heavens and earth, it is difficult to rise in rebellion, whether in Yin or Yang, all are like this.

In fact, as a Seventh Grade Little God, Shen Hex should not even consider such matters of rebellion.

The Ten Directions Dragon Battle is a strategic chessboard set up for those Third Rank Great Gods, and even Second Grade Heavenly Gods to vie for the First Grade position. Not to mention a Seventh Grade Little God, even Fourth and Sixth Grade True Gods have no qualification to sit at the table to play.

As a small god, the most appropriate course of action is to accumulate experience, climb step by step within the Divine Dao system, enabling oneself to rely on a faction when the dragon battles erupt, and thus rise with the opportunity, reaching the heavens.

In this way, step by step, climbing to the Third Grade position, achieving the body of a Great God, only then does one qualify to sit at the table to gamble and participate in these dragon battles, contending against various powers.

For regular little gods, this is the most correct method of development.

But Shen Hex is not conventional, nor willing to develop in such an orderly manner because his time is not plentiful. The time flow between the Middle Thousand World and the present is one hundred compared to one, and a Seventh Grade Little God wanting to become a Third-Rank Great God must go through several dragon battles, spanning nearly thousands of years.

Furthermore, in these several dragon battles, you must ensure that the path is correct, with each invested Hidden Dragon and tightly embraced patron emerging victorious; otherwise...

In the matter of dragon battles, success or death!

Those Second and Third Rank Great Gods are at ease with their power and status, supported by deep foundations. Even if they fail in the dragon battles and their reincarnated bodies perish, they can reincarnate again, even return to the Celestial Realm, continuing as gods. It’s just a great depletion of Primordial Qi, not a complete loss, an irreversible calamity.

Little gods like him are different.

Every dragon battle between Yin and Yang results in rivers of blood.

Countless lives perish, whether divine beings or humans, all suffer this fate.

This is a cycle of reincarnation.

At midday, it declines; when the moon is full, it is eclipsed; it’s unavoidable.

The Human Dao is like this, and the Divine Dao is no exception. Deities can rely on Divine Power for immortality, but without a mechanism to clean and consume, over time, the world would be overwhelmed, exhausted, and collapse.

Dragon battles serve as this mechanism, where various powers clash and gamble until the Emperor True Dragon emerges.

Along the way, whether Human Dao or Divine Dao, they undergo the cleansing of catastrophes.

Don’t mention his Seventh Grade Little God, even Fourth and Sixth Grade True Gods, if they wager incorrectly, or those patrons are not embraced tightly enough, provoking the Hidden Dragon’s discontent and the True Dragon’s displeasure, they will face disastrous extinction.

It’s truly like walking on thin ice, and walking repeatedly for thousands of years, experiencing dozens of dragon battles to have a hope of standing out, achieving the Third Grade Divine Position.

Shen Hex is unwilling to do so.

A true man born between heaven and earth cannot languish indefinitely under others.

Being driven by others, held by the lifeline, controlled over life and death, it’s a feeling he dislikes.

If it’s an ordinary little god, even if they dislike it, they can only endure.

But he’s not an ordinary little god.

You have foundations?

I have cheating!

Shen Hex lowered his gaze, looking at the professional panel, decisively beginning professional advancement.

If promotion is unachievable, rebellion is even less so.

Typical little gods, encountering this bottleneck, can only endure hardships to accumulate qualifications, seeking an opportunity for promotion.

But Shen Hex is not ordinary, he has a third choice, which is "cheating" to break the stalemate.

Professional Power!

Because upon first entering the Divine Dao, the cultivation system is different, coupled with limited heaven and earth, differences in Yin and Yang, Shen Hex in this world except for some eyesight from many lifetimes of cultivation, experience, intelligence, and combat skills, has no great advantage.

He has come so far, developing at a speed far surpassing other deities, becoming the Uncrowned King of Qinghe and Huangshan, relying heavily on Professional Power for support and aid.

From the Land God’s Divine Dao Food Fragrance to the Lord Merit and Virtue’s Blessed Golden Body, and then to Earth God’s Earth Yellow Turban.

These professions and talents amplified his absorption of incense fire, enhanced the effectiveness of his divine arts, granting him a Divine Power far exceeding deities of the same rank, enabling him to use less Divine Power to perform more powerful divine arts, and condensing merit from incense fire, achieving the Blessed Golden Body yearned for by other deities, exemplifying the essence of "expanding sources and reducing expenses".

Without these supports, upon first entering the Divine Dao, he would struggle to have such development.

Now, he must go further, seeking the opportunity to break the stalemate with the help of Professional Power.
