Overall, the hierarchy of gods can be understood like this:
A Divine Servant is someone who has received divine power, surpassing mortal limits.
A Divine Envoy is someone who, after bearing the burden of divine rules and maintaining sanity, becomes a Demigod.
A Demigod who gathers rules and condenses an Authority ascends to become a True God.
However, during this process, if one fails to control the newly acquired power, they may fall—reduced to a Divine Servant with nothing but brute strength!
In the end, when a True God strengthens their Authority to a level considered a "main trunk," they can finally be called a Celestial God.
The Authority of a Celestial God is unique!
For example, once a Celestial God who commands the Authority of Life is born, all True Gods wielding related Authorities—like healing, growth, or blood—will forever lose the chance to become the God of Life.
However, if other related Celestial seats remain vacant, a True God of Blood, for instance, might instead evolve along the paths of curses or evil, preserving their growth potential.
Additionally, the more rules condensed within an Authority, the greater the potential for advancement, and the stronger one's power at the same rank!
But quantity isn't everything. The degree of correlation between the rules also affects the stability of an Authority. This, in turn, impacts one's combat performance and promotion success rate.
For instance, if a Demigod's Authority only contains the conflicting elements of Water and Fire, their chances of becoming a Water or Fire True God are actually lower than a Demigod who holds just a single Water rule. In fact, they might end up as a mere Divine Servant—or even explode from within!
Clearly, having more rules may grant more strength, but it's not simply "the more, the better." Each additional rule requires time and effort to resolve internal conflicts.
Which means: the time required to control them well enough to condense an Authority will double with each one!
If too many rules are absorbed at once, one could remain stuck at the Demigod level for a lifetime!
...
As for the trace of divinity within you—
Jashin explained: it originates from a fragment of the Void God's rule power, a Celestial God who perished during the Primordial War of the Gods.
If used properly—especially when paired with your exceptional talents in space and stealth—this sliver of power could potentially become your own.
And if you discover an appropriate technique, and engrave it into your body or soul in some form, you could become a Divine Envoy who bears that rule's power.
From there, you might even discover a slim chance to use the Void Rule to ascend to Demigod status…
You happen to possess Transparent Escape and Dustless Bewildering Cover, along with the Flying Thunder God—techniques closely tied to space. That explains why, whenever you used these abilities, that mysterious power kept leaking out on its own.
Perhaps… by fusing it with the Kamui Sharingan, you can gain early access to the power of a Divine Envoy!
Maybe even seize the chance to become a True God!
After all, Uchiha power and Kaguya's divine fruit share the same origin. You could even be considered a natural-born Divine Envoy of the fallen gods—just too weak, to the point where this power could only manifest through conventional techniques…
So in a way, the Primordial War of the Gods wasn't without its benefits.
The gods who fell—be they from the shinobi world or the Ōtsutsuki Clan—left behind countless paths for new gods to ascend!
...
Besides learning about divine hierarchies and the Void Rule from Jashin, you also obtained Cursed Techniques.
According to him, he created Cursed Techniques when he felt his own Authority had reached its limit.
The inspiration came from the sage techniques passed down to the Three Great Sanctuaries when Tsuchimikado Ōgami fell.
But unlike sage techniques, which use natural energy, Cursed Techniques are fueled by the power of causality. Jashin hoped to use them to capture causality-related rules and replace the ones in his Authority.
It's a long process, requiring him to overcome the rejection of his existing rules…
However, since your power is still far from that level, knowing the finer details is more a burden than a benefit.
Just know this: rules have strength rankings too. Given the same number, the stronger the rules, the more powerful the god!
Also, Jashin's development of Cursed Techniques is far from complete. Currently, it can only combine with his Authority to create a single ability: bypassing defenses and reflecting damage!
That's where Hidan's ability came from.
The version you received is a very rudimentary form—limited to tracking causal links between events, identifying truths and falsehoods…
Purely support-based, with no real combat application.
As for the classic "voodoo doll" method, it can only be used after receiving a portion of Jashin's power like Hidan did.
But neither you nor Jashin is willing to go that far…
...
After leaving Jashin's divine domain, although you didn't obtain many tangible items, you gained a treasure trove of secret knowledge—no less valuable than Tailed Beast chakra or the Mangekyō Sharingan!
First, you used Flying Thunder God to teleport Hidan to Gato Company's research facility.
From now on, he'll be in charge of handling and sacrificing the discarded test subjects—fulfilling Jashin's rituals without damaging the physical and bloodline materials you need. Truly a win-win!
Next, you rushed to the Land of Rain and obtained one-third of the Four-Tails' chakra from Nagato.
Though it seemed like you'd spent ages in the divine domain, time flows differently there. By the time you reached Amegakure, only three days had passed since the Five-Tails hunt.
Nagato informed you that while this operation went smoothly, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara were growing increasingly suspicious.
That so-called Madara was even starting to show signs of split personality through Nagato's Rinnegan…
You just chuckled at that. At this point, the only Tailed Beast whose location still needs confirming by Black Zetsu is the Six-Tails.
The Seven-Tails is in Takigakure, the Eight-Tails is with Killer Bee, and you already possess a backup bull horn and Four-Tails chakra. As for the Nine-Tails—you only need to summon the Shinigami to retrieve it.
To fulfill your promise to Jashin—and to eliminate the massive obstacles on your path to godhood—you'll definitely need the Shinigami's help.
So let Black Zetsu dance a little longer…
...
〖Year Eight〗
Both Orochimaru and Amado reported success in improving the Fission Technique!
At the same time, Shinnō under your command had meticulously revised the original version of the technique, seamlessly integrating it with his Body Activation Jutsu.
By comparing the versions sent by all three, along with your recent crash-course in shinobi tech theory, you finally grasped the essence of how the Fission Technique manipulates cells.
None of the versions showed signs of sabotage. The minor differences were simply the result of differing research paths:
Orochimaru's version focused on quantity—creating multiple clones and enabling recursive splitting. Even if a clone is nearly destroyed, the remaining cells can reform into a new one!
Amado's version emphasized differentiation—allowing unequal divisions. Instead of evenly splitting cells, one can create clones with as little as a tenth of the original. He also introduced the option to transfer select bloodline traits into specific clones.
Then there was Shinnō's version, fused with his Body Activation Jutsu.
This allowed clones to regenerate their cells, boosting their strength back to the original's level!
However, once these clones reintegrate, the body becomes vastly more powerful—but at the cost of risking complete cellular collapse.
...
Regardless,
You began studying all three improved versions at once, extracting their strengths to develop your own version of the Fission Technique.
Once you fully master it, the plan you've long envisioned will finally be within reach—and your power will surge to an entirely new level!
