Chapter 496 - 308: Fourth Realm of God

Jiang Ye wasn’t too surprised by Bai Gui’s words.

A First Tier Divine Weapon?

Even if he could forge it now, it would likely be difficult to fully unleash its power.

The weapon Jiang Ye currently uses is only an Earth Tier Star Weapon.

Why not use a Celestial Tier weapon?

The biggest reason is the limitation of Jiang Ye’s strength.

Of course, that was before... once he returns this time, Jiang Ye will be able to exchange for a Celestial Tier weapon to try.

"Phew!" He put away the White Dragon Divine Weapon Map.

"Thank you, Senior Bai," Jiang Ye sincerely thanked him again.

Today, his gains far exceeded his previous expectations.

Originally, Jiang Ye had hoped to obtain at least one Divine-level Opportunity.

But now?

Apart from those extremely precious Heaven and Earth Divine Objects, this ’White Dragon Divine Weapon Map’ is even more invaluable beyond imagination.

One could say.

The gains Jiang Ye received this time would likely even shock the Inspector.

At this moment.

"Senior White Bone," Jiang Ye curiously asked, "Are you going to stay in this Divine Hall after this?"

"Yes," White Bone nodded.

"Why?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help but be puzzled.

The other party was once the mightiest figure of the White Dragon Civilization; in terms of realm, he was likely much higher than that Inspector.

Now, he is actually confined to this area.

"White Bone, what happened back then?" Bai Gui also looked at the majestic figure with confusion in his eyes.

"Back then..."

Upon hearing this, a look of reminiscence appeared in White Bone’s eyes.

"Back then, when the White Dragon Civilization was annihilated by enemies, I fled into the void with the master’s legacy,"

"I drifted in the void, initially seeking refuge in a secondary civilization to lie low," White Bone recalled, "but midway, I got caught in a senseless war."

"I battled against another god, whose strength was incredibly powerful."

"That battle, I don’t remember how long it lasted, only that we shattered countless planets and many galaxies... In the end, I passed out in infinite exhaustion."

"When I awakened," White Bone sighed, "I found myself in this Divine Hall, bound by some invisible rules."

Jiang Ye listened in a daze.

So, he encountered formidable enemies during his escape?

Destroying countless planets—what terrifying might that must be?

Bai Gui’s eyes narrowed, "Was the one you encountered those years ago, the enemies of the master?"

"No," White Bone shook his head, "It was a powerhouse from another civilization, stronger than any of our past enemies."

Jiang Ye became even more startled.

Stronger than the enemies that destroyed the White Dragon Civilization?

This was completely beyond Jiang Ye’s comprehension and imagination.

"In this Divine Hall, I am restricted by some invisible bounds," White Bone sighed, "Even with my strength, I can’t resist at all."

"This might very well be the handiwork of a True God or even beyond,"

"Bound by such a rule, I cannot leave the Star Realm Sea," White Bone shook his head.

"An undeserved calamity," Jiang Ye sighed, feeling sorry for him.

With his strength, he could have had complete freedom if he went to a secondary civilization.

But now, he is eternally trapped here.

"Senior Bai,"

"If I become strong in the future and have the opportunity," Jiang Ye said earnestly, "I will certainly rescue you from this dilemma!"

"Rescue me?" White Bone was slightly taken aback.

Then he shook his head and laughed, "Young Master, my time is almost up; you needn’t worry."

"Time’s up?" Jiang Ye was surprised.

He couldn’t tell at all.

And logically, the other party should be a God, and a very powerful one at that.

How could there still be a limit?

"Do Gods also have a lifespan limit?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask.

"Hmm?"

White Bone looked at him in surprise, seemingly finding the question somewhat ludicrous.

"Gods are just powerful beings; naturally, they have a lifespan limit," White Bone shook his head with a smile, "For example, Basic Level Cosmic God’s Fourth Realm, the first realm lives three thousand years, the second realm lives five thousand years, the third realm ten thousand years, and the fourth realm twenty thousand years."

"Certainly,"

"It’s said that once in the True God Realm, reaching a certain stage grants eternal life," White Bone remarked, "But that level is beyond our grasp."

Jiang Ye listened in.

Basic Level Cosmic God’s Four Realms? He wasn’t hearing these terms for the first time.

According to the White Dragon True Divine Scripture’s realm divisions, above the Ninth Break is the Fourth Realm of God, also known as ’Basic Level Cosmic God.’

Beyond that is the High-level Cosmic God, which is the True God.

"I have lived for more than nine thousand years."

"Now, I only have five hundred years of life left," White Bone shook his head and sighed.

"Over nine thousand years?" Jiang Ye held his breath.

According to White Bone, he should be a powerhouse in the third realm of gods.

Truly terrifyingly powerful.

But...only five hundred years left? That’s not short either.

"Senior Bai, don’t give up," Jiang Ye comforted, "There’s still time."

White Bone shook his head.

"To help me escape, it would take at least a being beyond True God," White Bone sighed, "I no longer have the time."

"I will work hard," said Jiang Ye.

"Hmm?"

"Young Master, you don’t think you could become a True God in just five hundred years, do you?" White Bone couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.

"Five hundred years is long enough," Jiang Ye said seriously.

"Five hundred years is indeed long,"

"But from a god’s perspective, it’s exceedingly brief," White Bone shook his head, "To a True God, it disappears in a blink."

"Young Master, I know your cultivation talent is outstanding."

"But from the First Break to the Ninth Break, the difficulty is quite low," White Bone said as he looked at him, "When you try to break into Godhood, you’ll understand just how difficult ascending to divinity is."

"You might be stuck at that barrier for ten years, a hundred years, or even several hundred years!"

"And that’s just ascending to divinity,"

"Trying to become a True God? That’s an even more terrifying threshold," White Bone sighed in regret, "Like myself, after living nearly ten thousand years, I’ve never been able to cross it."

Jiang Ye was silent.

He knew that in this regard, the other party’s insight was far greater than his.

If he says so, the difficulty in becoming a True God must be exaggeratedly daunting.

"A True God is too distant for you,"

"First, cross the threshold of ascension," White Bone smiled, "The gap between the Peak of Nine Breaks and God is exceedingly difficult."

"Even I, back then, took decades to break through."

"Decades?" Jiang Ye was startled.

Is ascension really that difficult?

Keep in mind, the other party is a third-realm god powerhouse, surely with top-notch talent and comprehension.

And it still took decades to become a god?

"Don’t underestimate the difficulty of ascension," White Bone said seriously, "Even the most top-level Extraordinary Talent doesn’t guarantee breaking through to God."

"In first and second civilization levels, the vast majority of Extraordinary Talents stop at being quasi-gods, failing to cross the last hurdle."

"For you, breaking through to God will be even harder," White Bone said earnestly.

"I understand now," Jiang Ye nodded.

White Bone’s words had made him truly realize how difficult it is to ascend.

Just being a Basic Level Cosmic God is that hard.

Then what about a True God? Unimaginably difficult.

No wonder he felt that five hundred years was too short.

From a god’s perspective, this limited time is indeed insufficient.

However, fortunately,

Jiang Ye’s trump card was never just his talent or other external conditions.

"Five hundred years?"

"It’s still too long; I strive to seize every moment!" Jiang Ye silently glanced at his system panel.
