What is a god? Perhaps different people have different answers.
For atheists, deities are merely spiritual symbols conjured up in an era of human ignorance about the phenomena of the natural world. With the advancement of civilization and scientific progress, these so-called gods have been proven to be nothing more than the ancient ancestors' worship of nature.
However, for religious believers, deities are their spiritual sustenance, the great beings they venerate, and everything in the world is under the arrangement of divine will.
As for the world itself, deities are a manifestation of the world's rules, powerful entities capable of governing these rules.
Yet, for Chen Yu, the so-called deities now refer to himself.
The immense power obtained from burning his soul has already allowed Chen Yu to cross the threshold between a demigod and a deity.
Were it not for the fact that this power is a short-lived eruption from soul burning, Chen Yu could now be called a deity.
