Chapter 451:
Electrolux stood to the side, having spent some time analyzing the Love God's corpse and divine artifact, gaining insights into the nature of deities and divine artifacts in this world. As someone whose research capabilities far surpassed Tang San's, this task was not difficult for him. He turned to Huo Yuhao nearby and said, "Yuhao, the divine position contained within the Love God's corpse holds significant reference value. I believe I now understand how to refine the steps for your path to godhood."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with excitement, and he eagerly asked, "Teacher, how should my ascension be refined?" Truthfully, he had no experience in becoming a god, and in the original story, most individuals achieved divinity through inheriting a divine position rather than forming one independently. Even the supposedly noble and pure Tang San had ascended by inheriting the Asura and Sea God positions. So, Huo Yuhao lacked the necessary experience in this area. He knew that faith power could condense a divine position, but the exact process remained unclear, as the original story barely touched upon it.
Electrolux chuckled. "Look at you, so impatient."
Huo Yuhao replied earnestly, "Teacher, please understand my eagerness I want to improve so badly."
Although he had presented himself to Electrolux as a reincarnated god seeking to reclaim his divinity but with some lost memories, this was within the scope of what Electrolux could comprehend.
Electrolux nodded and said, "Yuhao, listen carefully. Based on my research, while faith power can indeed condense a divine position, it is merely an initiator. It helps a potential god condense a core energy, and if this core energy is destroyed, the divine position loses its function. Through my analysis of the Love God's divine position, I've discovered that this core energy is called 'authority.' This is the very essence of a divine position whoever possesses authority is naturally a deity in this world. To compare it to soul tools, authority is like the core formation, crucial and indispensable. The divine position serves as the exterior and interior framework, while divine power is akin to soul power."
"For example, within the Love God's divine position lies an authority called 'Love.' While researching it, I felt its influence I was drawn back into memories of my past love, a time I deeply regret."
His expression turned complex as he gazed into Huo Yuhao's eyes, reminiscing. "Even wisdom must yield before passionate love. I too was once ensnared by love, failing to see my lover's betrayal and the scheme she was plotting. If I had realized it sooner, perhaps my family would not have perished. Though I avenged them in the end, I could never bring them back."
"Yuhao, though your senior brother and sister from another world have shown me that true love still exists among humans, such cases are rare. How many lovers in this world are truly willing to sacrifice everything for each other? That is why, Yuhao, you must be cautious in choosing your life partner. I don't want you to end up like me."
Huo Yuhao understood that Electrolux was genuinely concerned about him being hurt by love. He wanted to tell him that Douluo Continent was also called the "Romance Continent" and that this world was filled with main characters and side characters who were hopeless romantics. Betraying love and harming one's partner were rare occurrences here. Even in the original story, when Juzi betrayed Xu Tianran, it was not because she didn't love him but because she loved Huo Yuhao and sought revenge against Dai Hao. Her method of secretly conceiving Huo Yuhao's child was certainly questionable, but it proved her devotion to him.
Moreover, the girls who had good relationships with him now were not the type to betray their love. If he ever became their lover, he would never suffer the same fate as Electrolux.
Still, he suppressed the urge to say all this, as he appreciated that Electrolux was simply looking out for him. A teacher's concern for his student was perfectly natural.
He nodded and said, "Understood, Teacher. I will be more cautious in choosing a partner. But first, should we focus on condensing authority before forming the divine position?"
Electrolux's authority theory made sense. Huo Yuhao suspected that this so called "authority" functioned like system permissions. It was similar to the law fragments found in some Western fantasy novels like law crystals. This explained why Qian Renxue lost her divine power after her divine position's authority was shattered, making her just another soul master.
On the other hand, Tang San, even after being reborn in the Fairy Continent, could still use his Sea God powers to control the ocean, despite the Fairy Continent being completely separate from the Divine Realm. This suggested that divine positions transcended individual worlds and functioned within a shared universe.
Rong Nianbing, for example, could still use Emotion God's powers even after passing his divine position to Huo Yuhao, as he still retained a portion of the initial authority.
This meant that inheriting a divine position essentially granted a fraction of its initial authority. Over time, as the inheritor cultivated and deepened their mastery, their authority over the divine position expanded.
Of course, this was just his speculation. He still needed to test and verify these ideas.
Electrolux's expression softened with approval. "Since authority is the foundation, we should prioritize condensing it. However, forming an authority is no simple task. Based on my research, the Love God's authority consists of a large number of unique runes that emit a powerful energy, like burning flames. I've named this energy 'Divine Fire.'
Following this principle, we can first ignite the Divine Fire. Once enough Divine Fire has accumulated, it can condense into authority. Then, we can form the divine position and ascend to godhood. We can begin immediately… but tell me, which divine position would you like to form first? We can use that as a guide to ignite the Divine Fire."
Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought before answering, "We can try forming the Ice God's divine position. My Ice Jade Empress Scorpion martial soul is highly compatible with it.
Moreover, the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, in legend, are said to be descendants of the Ice God. Their bloodline carries the Ice God's legacy, so my chances of forming this divine position should be highest."
Of course, in the Douluo world, there was something rather peculiar Tang San, in the Divine Realm, had explicitly denied the existence of an Ice God divine position.
