Chapter 2063: Chapter 2060: Ten Temples

"Clan Leader!" Ling Feng, who was resting, was called over by Mia and met the Clan Leader of the Dark Feather Elf Clan, saying respectfully, "I wonder what the Clan Leader wants from me?"

The Clan Leader smiled and said, "Ling Feng, my young friend, you are our honored guest of the Dark Feather Elf Clan and the lifesaver of my granddaughter Mia. For both emotional and rational reasons, I must meet you to express my gratitude and apologies. Some of our clan members have behaved excessively before!"

Seeing that the Clan Leader of the Dark Feather Elf Clan had expressed both apology and gratitude, Ling Feng was not one to be unyielding, especially as he had matters to discuss with the Clan Leader. Therefore, he graciously stated that the past matters should remain in the past and that there was no point in bringing them up again.

After a brief conversation, Ling Feng said, "Clan Leader, my purpose for coming here is the Holy Mountain, but I heard that the Holy Mountain is very mysterious, and few people can enter it, so..."

The Clan Leader nodded, "Ling Feng, my young friend, I understand what you mean. You are right, the existence of the Holy Mountain is indeed a legend. Not only you outsiders, but even the natives of this world may not necessarily find the Holy Mountain!"

Speaking this, the Clan Leader smiled slightly, "Ling Feng, you’ve come to seek the Holy Mountain, but how much do you know about it? What is your ultimate goal?"

Ling Feng solemnly said, "My purpose here is to go to the Holy Mountain to find the legendary Path of Immortality so that I can save my homeland!"

The Clan Leader nodded, "So that’s it. Yes, the outsiders who come here all seek the Path to Godhood, but is this all you know?"

Ling Feng nodded, "More or less, I don’t know much about this place!"

"Alright, I can tell you that there is indeed a Holy Mountain in our world, but there are not just one Path to Godhood on this Holy Mountain, but ten!"

"What? Ten?" Ling Feng widened his eyes in shock.

"That’s right, ten Paths to Godhood. These ten Paths lead to the Ten Temples, and only by passing the trials of the Ten Temples can one obtain the Divine Status and achieve Godhood!"

The Clan Leader’s words were like waves of shock, leaving Ling Feng utterly astonished. These things were not mentioned by the Demon King.

"Such matters are only known to leaders of the various races!" The Clan Leader explained, "The Ten Temples on the Holy Mountain are your ultimate goal, but unfortunately, we the Dark Feather Elf Clan are under the protection of the Goddess of Nature, and the Spirit Pearl Treasure I possess can only transport people to the Goddess of Nature’s Temple."

A trace of reluctance appeared on Ling Feng’s face, "Is it because I’m male that I cannot pass the Goddess of Nature’s Path?"

The Clan Leader smiled bitterly, "Naturally, among the Ten Temples, the Goddess of Nature, the Goddess of Destiny, and the Goddess of Life—these three temples only accept women, not men. The reason for this is unknown to us."

Ling Feng showed a disappointed expression. What kind of bizarre rule is this?

"Clan Leader, I truly wish to proceed along the Path to Godhood. My time is limited, so I hope you can help me!" Ling Feng sincerely pleaded.

Ling Feng was, after all, the lifesaver of his granddaughter, so the Clan Leader thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, Ling Feng my young friend is our honored guest of the Dark Feather Elf Clan. I will try to find a way to help you with this matter, but all I can do is bring you to the Holy Mountain. Beyond that, which path you wish to take is up to you."

Ling Feng asked in confusion, "Could you tell me what the differences are among these ten Paths to Godhood?"

The Clan Leader explained, "These ten Paths to Godhood represent the ten most powerful forces in this world, which you might have guessed from the names! However, each person can only choose one path to proceed."

"Therefore, before you choose, you must consider which path suits you best. Only by choosing the path that suits you can you have more assurance!"

Ling Feng nodded, gaining some understanding in his heart, "Could you talk to me about these ten Paths to Godhood, Clan Leader?"

"Well, I’ll give you a brief explanation!" The Clan Leader said, "I won’t discuss the three goddess paths. First, I’ll talk about the Death God’s Path and the Creator God’s Path, which are the most difficult to pass among the ten Paths to Godhood!"

"Why are these two paths the most difficult?" Ling Feng was curious, "From my understanding, shouldn’t the most difficult be the Elemental Magic God’s Path or the Space-Time Demon God’s Path?"

The Clan Leader chuckled, "Indeed, those two paths encompass everything and require the comprehension of the most difficult laws. However, while they are challenging, compared to the Death God’s Path and the Creator God’s Path, they are like minor spells facing great ones!"

"Do you know why these two paths are the most difficult? It’s because the Death God’s Path requires those who enter to abandon all emotions, whether love, familial bonds, or friendship, even their joys, angers, sorrows, and joys must be severed, for only by becoming devoid of desires can one truly comprehend the Death God’s Power!"

"The Death God brings death and disaster to the world, and any of his emotions are obstacles on the Path to Godhood! For the Death God, he must maintain absolute reason, even if it means bringing death to relatives, he should treat this as simply as eating and drinking, without any emotional fluctuations. Can you do that?"

Ling Feng was stunned; this is not something a person can do! If one were to sever all emotions, becoming an absolutely calm robot, what meaning would life have then?

He shook his head, "I... I can’t do it, nor will I choose this path!"

"This is the challenge of the Death God’s Path. As long as there are living beings in the world, who can truly be absolutely emotionless? Therefore, over countless years, people have coveted the power of the Death God and embarked on it, but no one has truly comprehended the Death God’s Power."

"And the Creator God’s Power requires one to have a true compassionate heart, great compassion, great love, and great righteousness. This kind of person must forsake their personal sentiments and love, treating all beings equally, without any bias or preference."

"Only by achieving this can one possibly pass through the Creator God’s Path!" The Clan Leader glanced at Ling Feng, "Do you think you can do that? When you have a piece of food and before you are two dying individuals, one a friend and the other an enemy, who would you give the food to?"
