Chapter 792: Beyond True Divinity

The Tier-6 defensive artifacts given to Darlene were not much different from what Aria received; they were also blue and white. 

In fact, most of the defensive artifacts obtained from the floating landma.s.s were either blue, white, or gold.

Darlene equipped the defensive artifacts while humming a joyful tune. 

Although they didn"t fit perfectly at first, some strange mechanism activated and startled her before the defensive artifacts fitted nicely onto her body, surprising her shortly after. 

"Wow!" she exclaimed. 

While Darlene was preoccupied with adapting to her new defensive artifacts, Leon found a spot to meditate with Aria guarding nearby before calling for the realm spirit.

"Do you know anything about G.o.d or devil fragments that can talk back to the host, Tak-si?" Leon asked. 

However, he couldn"t get the response he had hoped from the realm spirit.

"No, Master. It"s quite common for Celestials to awaken their G.o.d soul fragments and demons to awaken their devil soul fragments, but even for me, it"s the first time hearing about a soul fragment that can talk," Tak-si answered. 

"I see…" Leon rubbed his chin before continuing to ask, "What about Empyrean Infinite Void? How much do you know about her and the Empyrean G.o.ds?" 

After those words left his mouth, Leon suddenly paused. 

Right, why did he need to ask the seniors about the True Divinity Realm? Even if they truly don"t know about it, wouldn"t the realm spirit know about it at least?

"Do you know how the cultivation level for True Divinity is divided, Tak-si?" Leon added.

"Empyrean Infinite Void… Unfortunately, I don"t know much about Empyrean Infinite Void except that Empyrean Infinite Void is one of the seven only Empyrean G.o.ds—commonly referred to as the Seven Great G.o.ds alongside the Seven Great Devils," Tak-si answered. 

"Even among the Empyrean G.o.ds, Empyrean Infinite Void was the most reclusive and least active, always hidden in her own world and away from worldly affairs; no one ever knew what Empyrean Infinite Void was always up to."

"Seven Great G.o.ds… Doesn"t that mean Empyrean Infinite Void also comprehended the Creation Law in addition to the Spatial Law?" Leon asked. 

"Yes, Master. And because of that, none of the G.o.ds had ever seen the world created by Empyrean Infinite Void as it was always hidden within a vortex of spatial storms and rifts that no G.o.d could enter without getting lost in its infinite void."

Leon furrowed his brows. 

"From what you are saying, this Empyrean Infinite Void was very secretive as if she was hiding something and didn"t want the other G.o.ds to see. I wonder what it could have been…" Leon wondered. 

"I"m not very sure, Master. As I said, no one knew, including the Empyrean G.o.ds themselves."

"I see… Let"s just leave it at that," Leon ended the topic there.

If even the other Empyrean G.o.ds couldn"t figure it out, it was less likely that he would be able to, given his limited information. 

"Anyway, continue with the True Divinity Realm"s division of cultivation levels; surely, you know about it, right?" Leon asked with a confident tone. 

"Yes, Master, but what good would it do you even if you know? Master has yet to reach the Celestial Realm. The True Divinity Realm is too far of a goal for Master to worry about it," Tak-si said.

"Too far of a goal to worry about it, huh? The seniors were probably didn"t mention it because they were worried it would make me hasty and distracted," Leon replied with narrowed eyes.

"I"ve heard these seniors-giving-to-their-junior excuses before, and I think it"s all bulls.h.i.+t," he a.s.serted his opinion before saying, "You don"t need to worry about that, and just tell me."

"I understand, Master." Tak-si complied. 

"True Divinity is divided into three main realms; the realm of True G.o.d, Heavenly G.o.d, and Empyrean G.o.d. These main realms are then further divided into ten stages each."

"True G.o.d, Heavenly G.o.d, and Empyrean G.o.d… I see," Leon uttered before he furrowed his brows and asked, "What about a G.o.d-Emperor? Why wasn"t it mentioned?"

"Only Heavenly G.o.ds who have reached the tenth stage are crowned G.o.d-Emperors, Master. Tenth-stage True G.o.ds are also crowned G.o.d-Kings in their respective worlds," Tak-si answered. 

"Interesting, and tenth-stage Empyrean G.o.ds are called Great G.o.ds?" Leon wondered before quickly adding with a frown, "Hm… Their t.i.tles seem lackl.u.s.ter in comparison to G.o.d-Emperors and G.o.d-Kings…"

"…" Tak-si fell silent for a moment.

"The Empyreans are not called Great G.o.ds because they are tenth-stage Empyrean G.o.ds, Master; they are called Great G.o.ds simply because they are Empyrean G.o.ds."

Tak-si corrected Leon"s misunderstanding.

"During the primordial era of G.o.ds and devils, the Empyreans were the pioneers of the True Divinity Realm; they were not its zenith. Perhaps if the primordial era of G.o.ds and devils flourished instead of ending back then, the Empyreans could be exploring the realm beyond it by now."

"A realm beyond True Divinity? Does it even exist?" Leon wondered.

Reasons told him that it was a possibility. 

Still, it was far beyond his imagination, considering Empyreans already wielded the power of creation to give birth to new worlds and stars.

"I am unable to confirm nor deny, Master. However, the Empyreans believed that it exists, and when they strongly believe in it, it is possible to turn it into a reality. Nevertheless, it doesn"t change the fact that it was an unexplored realm; thus, they simply called it Beyond True Divinity." 

"Beyond True Divinity, huh?" Leon uttered. 

Shortly after, he summoned a wisp of True Grandmist Energy and flicked it up for the realm spirit to catch it. 

"Master?" Tak-si questioned with surprise.

"Your reward for answering my questions," Leon casually said before adding, "Although I sated my curiosity, I still need to visit the seniors. As such, I won"t be replying anymore for a while."

"I understand, Master," Tak-si replied. 

Although it wasn"t sure what Leon intended to do, it felt a bit dispirited that Leon did not have any more questions for it. 

If it could get True Grandmist Energy by answering a few simple questions every time, it would gladly do so without fail.

Leon paid no further attention to the realm spirit and drifted into deep meditation before reaching his consciousness out to the earth below him. 

"I might be inside of the Radiant Heaven Realms.h.i.+p, but I should still be able to reach Gaia"s Core, right?" Leon thought to himself.
