71: The origin of the demigod of Earth!

"A divine spark?" Zhang Fan trembled all over, his face showing disbelief. "Grandpa, are there really gods in this world?"

"Xiao Fan, most people are ignorant and believe that gods exist in this world, which is understandable!"

Zhang Xuanling waved his hand, putting away the earthy yellow crystal, and said indifferently, "But for us Titan Warriors, thinking that way is a big mistake!"

"What difference is there between the so-called gods in legends and people like us?"

"At most, they are just more advanced and powerful than us!"

"Just like you and I now, if we were placed in the ignorant and backward ancient times!"

"We would definitely be worshipped and offered sacrifices to by the ancients as gods!"

"But we ourselves know that we are not gods!"

Zhang Fan nodded silently, thinking that what his grandfather said made a lot of sense.

Before the Great Cataclysm, who could imagine that humans could shatter a building with one punch or stomp a mountain flat with one foot?

Now, if you search online, you'll find videos of this kind everywhere!

It shows that with social development, technological progress, and increased understanding,

things that were unimaginable in the past may not be incomprehensible in the future!

Looking at gods with this mindset, the so-called gods are truly just a group of more advanced, more complex beings!

"Then this divine spark..."

Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Above Demigod Realm, there is a realm called True God Realm!"

Zhang Xuanling said, "The True God here is not a true god either!"

"It's just a realm, the same as the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation realms!"

"Grandpa, I understand!"

Zhang Fan indicated his understanding.

"Upon reaching the True God Realm, one will condense all their power into a core, which is what is called a divine spark!"

Zhang Xuanling said, "divine spark is actually their Western term!"

"In the East, we call it the Primordial Golden Core, and Buddhists call it Sarira!"

"Although the names are different, they all refer to the same thing!"

"So, a divine spark is a fragment of a god's power!"

"Although it is only a fragment of a god's power, for life on our Earth, it is an unparalleled treasure!"

"As long as you fuse a small piece of the fragment, you can obtain that portion of the god's power and instantly become a Demigod!"

Zhang Xuanling looked at Zhang Fan and smiled, "Now you can understand why Tang Long would risk his life to kill you for this small fragment, right?"

Zhang Fan took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "A treasure that can make one a Demigod, I didn't expect my life to be so valuable!"

"Which uncle was so generous to give away something like this? Wouldn't it be better to fuse it themselves?"

"They can't fuse it!"

Zhang Xuanling shook his head, "A divine spark is not something everyone can fuse; at least Nascent Soul Realm cultivation is required!"

"Because only the soul strength of the Nascent Soul Realm can bear the terrifying power contained within the divine spark!"

"Those below Nascent Soul Realm who rashly fuse it will only face death!"

"Death?"

Zhang Fan trembled.

Zhang Xuanling nodded slightly, "So, in the hands of those below Nascent Soul Realm, this thing is useless!"

"It simply cannot be used!"

"But in the hands of someone in the Nascent Soul Realm, it is a priceless treasure!"

"So that's how it is!"

Zhang Fan suddenly understood.

"Tang Long and I are from the same era; he is already at the peak of Core Formation, just one step away from breaking through to Nascent Soul Realm!"

Zhang Xuanling said, "So this thing is extremely important to him!"

"As long as he breaks through to Nascent Soul Realm, he can fuse this item and become a Demigod in a very short time!"

"Nascent Soul... Demigod!"

Zhang Fan felt a chill. Fortunately, Tang Long was only at the peak of Core Formation; if he were in the Nascent Soul Realm, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Zhang Fan felt somewhat fortunate; this time was truly too dangerous!

"Grandpa, I remember there's a Yang God Realm above Nascent Soul Realm!"

Zhang Fan suddenly said, "Can this thing really allow someone to directly cross the Yang God Realm from Nascent Soul Realm and become a Demigod?"

Zhang Xuanling explained, "Ying is Yin, so Nascent Soul is also called Primordial Yin!"

"Therefore, Nascent Soul is also called Yin God, or Primordial Spirit!"

"Nascent Soul Realm is also called Yin God Realm!"

"Essentially, Yin God and Yang God are the same thing, just different stages of growth for the Primordial Spirit!"

"Yin God is like an infant!"

"Yang God is like an adult!"

"They are both Primordial Spirits in essence, with no fundamental difference!"

"Fusing a divine spark and absorbing the power of the god within the fragment can allow the Nascent Soul to grow rapidly!"

"Thus achieving Yang God and surpassing Yang God in an extremely short period of time!"

"I see!"

Zhang Fan suddenly understood.

No wonder those in the Nascent Soul Realm could fuse divine sparks; it turns out there's no fundamental difference between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Yang God Realm!

Having understood this, another doubt arose in Zhang Fan's mind:

"Grandpa, there are very few Nascent Soul Realm and Yang God Realm experts in the world today, but the number of Demigods is quite large!"

"Can I understand this to mean that many Nascent Souls and Yang Gods have fused divine sparks to become Demigods?"

The composition of expert numbers in this world had always puzzled Zhang Fan.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation need not be mentioned; there are many, very many.

Golden Core cultivators are noticeably fewer, but globally, there are still quite a few.

However, at the Nascent Soul Realm, there's almost a complete break, an incredibly small number.

And Yang God Realm, there are absolutely none!

At least, currently, there are no publicly known Yang Gods worldwide!

Nascent Souls are rare!

Yang Gods are nonexistent!

According to the pattern, there should be even fewer Demigods, but the reality is that not only are there not few Demigods, there are many!

At least, there are more than a dozen publicly known Demigods worldwide!

This is too abnormal!

According to the cultivation pattern of Titan Warriors, the further one goes, the harder it should be, and the corresponding number should be fewer.

Yet, at the Demigod Realm, there are an uncharacteristically large number, which completely contradicts the cultivation pattern of Titan Warriors!

Zhang Fan didn't understand this before, but now he suddenly began to understand.

"Good insight!"

Zhang Xuanling smiled slightly, "Let me tell you this!"

"All the Demigods currently on Earth, including myself!"

"Without exception, all became Demigods by fusing divine sparks!"

Zhang Fan was somewhat incredulous, "All of them became Demigods by fusing divine sparks? Not a single one broke through on their own?"

"None!"

Zhang Xuanling shook his head, "At least not yet, because there hasn't been enough time!"

"Not enough time?"

Zhang Fan pondered that phrase.

"The Great Cataclysm has only been a short 50 years, less than a full cycle of sixty years!"

Zhang Xuanling sighed deeply, "50 years might seem long to ordinary people!"

"But for a cultivator, it's far too short!"

"From awakening, to Qi Refining, then to Foundation Establishment, then to Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Yang God, and finally Demigod!"

"Step by step cultivation upwards, how could a mere 50 years be enough?"

"It's simply not enough!"

"Leaving aside other things, just from Nascent Soul to Yang God, one must go through the nine-year hurdle of three years of nurturing and six years of entering the divine realm!"

"This nine-year hurdle alone requires a full nine years!"

"This is still under ideal conditions with abundant resources and no disturbances!"

"If the situation is not optimistic, this single step alone can consume tens, or even dozens, of years of arduous cultivation!"

"Adding in the previous realms, 50 years is simply not enough!"
