Chapter 320: Level 2 Life
The gift from the World Origin was extremely precious. Although the Pocket World was merely a small world born within a plane, and its status relative to the Kaya World was that of a pseudo-world, inside the Pocket World, this gift was real and true.
Ace was in no mood to manage the audience of the human heroic spirits. The Divine Clone casually created a Hall of Valor and placed all the heroic spirits inside.
“Based on nearly seventy years of observation and analysis, a deity possessing a Divine Authority within the Pocket World has strength equivalent to a Level 2 Life, and a Divine Authority is equivalent to a Level 2 Rune!
“For me, what I need to do now is advance to the Great Hero level, become a true Level 2 Life, and then nurture the Divine Clone to obtain the Runes I need as much as possible!”
Ace quickly determined what he could gain in this Pocket World. The level of this Pocket World’s origin should be above Level 3. Considering the space Ace observed wrapping the outside of the Pocket World, its level should be lower than a Demi-plane.
“A Demi-plane is the externalization of the Mental Imagery of a Level 4 Life, which is a Demigod. The level of the Pocket World should be roughly at Level 3. It is truly incredible that such an exquisite and real small world is possibly only Level 3.”
Although it was somewhat hard to believe, this situation appeared right before Ace, forcing him to marvel at the wonders of nature.
He placed the gift of the World Origin and the gift of the Human Subconscious before him, observing and comparing them carefully. The gift of the Origin was obviously more attractive.
Ace first absorbed one-tenth of the pure Tribal Qi gifted by the Human Subconscious. This Tribal Qi entered the True-Illusion World within the Soul Sanctuary, causing panic among the dream lives there. The dream humans seemed to receive a powerful boost, rising rapidly within the Dream World.
Ace did not pay much attention to this. His True Spirit descended, calcining the Tribal Qi with Heart Fire in the Dream World. After removing impurities and condensing it, the nectar-like Tribal Qi was drunk by Ace’s True Spirit in one gulp.
“The increase in Mental Strength and Physical Strength is very obvious. Just one-tenth increased my Mental Strength by 1 unit and Physical Strength by 2 unit!”
Ace then absorbed one-tenth of the Pocket World Origin. As soon as this Origin Power entered the True-Illusion Dream World, it directly merged with it, greatly strengthening this fake world, but it did not improve Ace’s own mental and physical strength.
Ace felt that his True-Illusion Dream World seemed to have become much more solid, and the space had expanded by nearly double, visible to the naked eye.
“Can it not directly improve the spirit and flesh? But the Mental Imagery World is a crucial path for the Great Dao, and the Pocket World Origin is obviously much more precious than Human Tribal Qi. This should be more important, right?”
Ace said somewhat hesitantly. He did not absorb any more of the Origin Aura gifted by the World Origin. Instead, he absorbed all the Tribal Qi, calcining it into a thick flow with Heart Fire.
As the True Spirit drank all the Tribal Qi flow, Ace’s Mental Power reached 99.9 unit in one go, and his physical strength also reached 93 unit.
In the following nearly twenty years, Ace’s Divine Clone continued to supply Ace with Human Tribal Qi, and successively condensed four Divine Authorities: War, Invisible, Fear, and Supreme.
After absorbing the Tribal Qi provided by the clone, Ace’s mental and physical strength both reached the optimal state of a Level 1 Life—99.9 unit—and then naturally broke through to 100 unit.
Lightning flashed and thunder rolled; all things worshiped. Ace’s true body broke through the layer of the Human Divine Kingdom and descended into the Pocket World. He was tens of thousands of meters tall, truly propping up heaven and earth.
The World Consciousness also responded, calling out to Ace softly like a mother. Wisps of Origin Aura appeared out of thin air, lingering around Ace.
Ace’s True-Illusion Dream World manifested directly here, absorbing the wisps of Origin. His Mental Imagery World expanded continuously. The Divine Clone residing in the Divine Kingdom in the sky threw the Origin gift obtained last time into Ace’s manifested True-Illusion Dream World, allowing the Dream World to continue expanding.
That day, everyone in the Pocket World saw a terrifying giant descend from the sky. Immediately after, everyone seemed to enter a dream, but upon waking, they forgot everything.
No one noticed that the giant had turned into an ordinary young man, walking among the human nations.
“In the Pocket World, my Mental Imagery World can directly manifest and cover part of the world’s territory, but the foundation of my Mental Imagery World is still Level 1 Runes. I must find a way to upgrade them to Level 2 Runes to accommodate new paths.”
Traveling through the human nations, Ace relaxed his emotions. Through the Divine Clone, he issued a new oracle to the Witches everywhere: From this day forth, the Supreme God Ai shall be addressed as the Supreme Dream God Ai!
The humans were a bit confused, but their faith in God made them choose to obey the oracle, adding content about dreams and manifestation to their prayers.
Ace’s goal was clear. Being a so-called deity here was fake; only strength was real. He wanted to use the faith of these tens of millions of humans to condense a new Divine Authority—a Divine Authority regarding Dreams and Manifestation!
Dreams were the foundation of Ace’s path, and Manifestation was his important means of turning the virtual into the real. The greatest use of this Pocket World for Ace was to serve as a great testing ground, allowing Ace to comprehend the mysteries of dreams and manifestation and discover the Level 2 Runes hidden within!
“Humans, or rather intelligent beings, are the most magical existences. Even if they don’t possess supernatural talent themselves, they can still produce incredible power through the imagination of faith.
“Or perhaps, one person’s fantasy is forever a fantasy, but a group’s fantasy is not just a fantasy. If the base number of this group reaches a significant scale, their fantasy will affect reality, even creating existences that transcend fantasy!”
The Pocket World had fourteen human kingdoms, with a population of nearly forty million, over thirty thousand King-Chosen Warriors, and more than two thousand Heart Fire Warriors who had ignited their Heart Fire.
If these people prayed in unison, it probably wouldn’t take ten years to create the Divine Authority Ace wanted. However, reality did not go as expected.
Without external enemies, disputes gradually arose among the human kingdoms. They fought each other for population, land, resources, wealth, and honor. Chaos began to appear across the entire continent of the Pocket World.
To prove their legitimacy and sanctity, various kingdoms deified their ancestors one after another. These ancestor spirits in the Hall of Valor gradually became sanctified under the influence of faith.
“If there is no interference, according to the development of the Pocket World, humans will gradually downplay their faith in me, holding high their respective divine banners. Creating the Dream and Manifestation Divine Authorities will be indefinitely postponed.”
Ace concluded while walking and observing. If left unchecked, the divine authority of the Supreme God Ai would likely be diluted. Perhaps a “Pure Doctrine Movement” was needed. A look of determination flashed across Ace’s eyes.
