“That’s honestly the main reason why I finally decided to show up again. You aren’t a match for Daryl, so charging straight into his lair is pretty much just suicide. While it’s true that I could save you if things go awry at the last moment, I’m a bit worried about having to show up before and potentially fight Daryl and Sanchez!” added Finnley.
“Is this a worry regarding the Soluna Deus Sect…?” asked Gerald who more or less saw where Finnley was coming from.
“Indeed. Though the Soluna Deus Sect has already learned about me, they still haven’t pinpointed where I am. With that in mind, until you get stronger, my best bet would be to remain hidden as long as possible!” replied Finnley with a nod.
“Stronger… Are you suggesting that I can enter the Deitus Realm and potentially become an Angelord? But I don’t think I have an angelic root… ” muttered Gerald.
“You don’t. However, not only do you possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit, but you were born with it! In other words, you bear an incomparable advantage against other cultivators, and it’s also the reason why you’re progressing so rapidly! With that said, if you work hard enough, you’ll surely be able to enter the Deitus Reahn without an angelic root within five hundred years,” explained Finnley.
“Five… Hundred…?! That’s way too long!” exclaimed Gerald. While favonovel.com had initially thought that getting to the Deitus Realm was unachievable for him, the fact that it’d take favonovel.com five hundred years to achieve that now possible goal was still shocking!
“I agree, and I’m worried that both of us would’ve been exterminated by the Soluna Deus Sect by that point. With that in mind, in order to further hasten that process, I’m thinking of planting an angelic root inside you! Mind you, however, that the odds of successfully doing that is abysmal…” replied Finnley.
“Planting… An angelic root?” asked Gerald who hadn’t heard of such a method before.
“Yep. Though you’re knowledgeable regarding the cultivation realm, you still know little about the Deitus Realm. I guess now’s as good a time as any for you to tell you a bit more about this realm. Basically, in order to enter the Deitus Realm and become an Angelord, you need to fulfill three basic requirements.”
“Firstly, you need to be part of a group that possesses innate angelic roots. For the second requirement, once your angelic root is further developed, you’ll have to withstand the calcination of spiritual fire to transform your holy body into an Immortal Body! If you can’t attain an Immortal Body, you won’t be able to withstand the angelic power in your body. With that in mind, if someone who doesn’t have an Immortal Body attempts to forcefully enter the Deitus Realm, they’ll straight up explode! Speaking of which, your second uncle and disciple failed at the second requirement,” explained Finnley.
This left Gerald slightly dumbfounded by how difficult it was to enter the Deitus Realm. No wonder so many people hadn’t heard of it before… After all, very rarely did cultivators like favonovel.com and Darkwind possess angelic roots, and regular people who possessed it never had the chance to cultivate!
Whatever the case was, Gerald then quickly asked, “What’s the third requirement?”
“Well, you’ll need to receive the inheritance from a Zearl as the final requirement. Only after you find a compatible Zearl’s spirit called a deus spirit and you form a mutual connection with that spirit, will you be granted the inheritance to become a true Angelord. Following that, when you’ll be able to become a Zearl yourself will depend on fate…”
“Either way, you should know that not only are Zearls few and far between, but they almost never perish. With that in mind, it’s exceedingly difficult to locate a deus spirit. However, not all is lost. I’m sure you’ve heard about the disaster of the Dietus Realm. The thing is, many Zearls fell during that time, so our odds of finding one have actually increased! But yes, that’s the journey of becoming an Angelord… Just so you know, many Angelords aren’t even aware that there’s a fourth step to all this…” explained Finnley.
“I see… Either way, we need to plant the angelic root within me first, right?” asked Gerald.
