Yu Yunting successfully condensed his Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder God Spark and officially stepped into the Spirit-level Domain. Although Yu Yuanchen intentionally controlled the information, limiting it to a very small number of core figures, the magnificent Heavenly Might of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation that day and the unique Law fluctuations of a new god's birth still acted like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples among the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent and the distant God Realm.
Inside Storm Valley, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi remained active even after the Thunder Tribulation had dissipated. Yu Yunting sat cross-legged, stabilizing his newly formed God Spark. Dark golden lightning flowed around his body, radiating a divine might that was righteous, awe-inspiring, and capable of breaking evil and slaying demons.
Although he had only just entered the Spirit-level, his aura still needed time to settle. However, the foundation, which was perfectly aligned with his own path, revealed a potential that far exceeded that of ordinary Second-level Deities.
Yu Yuanchen stood to the side with his hands behind his back, watching his son successfully take this crucial step. His eyes were filled with a mixture of comfort and gravity. The Path of Divine Spark finally had its first successful case.
This did not merely signify Yu Yunting's personal transcendence; it verified the feasibility of the brand-new cultivation system he had deduced—a path to godhood that could, to a certain extent, break free from the reliance on the God Realm's inherent inheritance and focus more on the cultivator's own comprehension and accumulation.
"How do you feel?" Yu Yuanchen asked in a calm voice.
Yu Yunting opened his eyes, the lightning within them receding. Feeling the God Spark crystal inside his body, which was closely connected to his soul and autonomously breathing in heaven and earth energy, he said in a deep voice, "Better than ever, Father. My power is as if an extension of my arm, and my perception of the laws of Thunder and Evil-Breaking has become more than ten times clearer."
"Although my total amount of divine power might not even reach that of those Third-level Deities yet, the growth potential... I feel it is not restricted and can be freely developed by me." His tone carried an irrepressible excitement. This path was pioneered by his father and walked to completion by him; the significance was extraordinary.
Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly. "The God Spark has just condensed, like a young seedling, and needs careful nourishment. From now on, you must nourish it with your own divine essence, irrigate it with the Power of Faith, and further temper it through actual combat and enlightenment to make it grow strong. This path is open, but the road ahead is long, and you must remain cautious."
"This child understands!" Yu Yunting nodded heavily.
Just as the father and son were communicating, Yu Yuanchen's thoughts stirred as he sensed a powerful Divine Sense, containing the origins of destruction and creation, quietly descending across the plane barrier. It was the God of Destruction King.
"Yu Yuanchen, you really dare to think, and you really dare to do it!" The God of Destruction King's voice rang directly in Yu Yuanchen's Sea of Consciousness. It was impossible to tell if he was angry or happy, but that vast will caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly. "Using a tribulation to forge a spark, incorporating the Dao into one's own body... this path is fraught with difficulties!"
Yu Yuanchen's expression remained unchanged as he responded with his Divine Sense: "Your Majesty Destruction, paths are made by people. While the inheritance of divine positions is stable, it is also a form of restraint. The Path of Divine Spark gives all living beings one more choice and gives the world more vitality; why not do it?"
"Vitality?" The God of Destruction King snorted. "Do you know that this act is equivalent to chiseling a crack in the seemingly solid wall of order in the God Realm! How many deities who rely on the majesty of their divine positions to enjoy eternal life will feel threatened by this? The interior of the God Realm Committee is likely already experiencing undercurrents at this moment!"
The seemingly stern reprimand, for some reason, carried a hint of schadenfreude; the good days for those guys who did nothing all day but hold everyone back were finally coming to an end.
Yu Yuanchen had long anticipated that this matter would cause waves, so he said calmly, "If the rotten wood is not broken, new branches will not grow. The God Realm has been silent for too long, like a stagnant pool of water. It needs a catfish to enter the water to stimulate vitality. The Path of Divine Spark is not for subversion, but for supplementation—it is merely opening a window for those whose divine positions do not fit them but who yearn for the Great Dao. Besides..."
He changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of deep meaning: "The success of this path proves that the beings of the mortal world have infinite potential. Wouldn't it be of great benefit to strengthening the foundation of the God Realm and dealing with possible future changes? Your Majesty Destruction pursues the expansion of the God Realm, and you also know that all rivers run into the sea, and tolerance makes greatness."
The God of Destruction King naturally understood the implication of Yu Yuanchen's words. If the Path of Divine Spark were to be promoted, it would mean that more geniuses from the lower realms could ascend, injecting fresh blood into the God Realm and inevitably increasing its overall strength. This did not conflict with his philosophy of expanding the God Realm, and in the long run, it was even beneficial.
He had been persuaded by Yu Yuanchen in the first place precisely because he saw this point, as well as the prospect that the "God Spark" and "divine position" could be mutually transformed and supplement each other in the future.
"...Enough." The God of Destruction King finally said, "Since this King has already nodded, I will naturally handle things with Life. As for Goodness and Evil, this King will deal with them. Asura's attitude is ambiguous, but the trend is unstoppable, and he cannot oppose it. You should focus on perfecting this path, but remember, a tall tree catches the wind; keep a low profile recently and properly handle the loose ends in the lower realm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Yuanchen felt relieved. With the support of the two God Kings, Destruction and Life, this matter was more than half-settled, at least among the high-level God Realm. As for the backlash from other deities, that was a problem to be faced in the future.
After interrupting the contact with the God of Destruction King, Yu Yuanchen said to Yu Yunting, "The God Realm has no objections for now. You should first stabilize your realm, and then follow me back to the Douluo Continent. Your grandfather and great-grandfather must have been waiting for a long time."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Yu Yunting's eyes. Achieving the Spirit-level and returning home to share the good news was a joyous event in life.
A few days later, Douluo Continent, Blue Lightning Dragon City.
Yu Mingfeng and Yu Boxuan had long since sensed that Spirit-level aura, which was connected by blood yet as vast as a sea of stars, approaching from afar, and they waited excitedly in the sect's forbidden area. When they saw Yu Yuanchen descending through the air with Yu Yunting, whose aura was deep and divine light restrained, the two old men's eyes turned slightly red. Yu Boxuan, in particular, was so excited that his beard trembled.
"Good! Good! My Yu Family has produced another True God!" Yu Boxuan held his great-grandson's hand, feeling the surging divinity, his heart filled with comfort. Yu Mingfeng also patted his grandson's shoulder hard; although he didn't say much, the pride and comfort in his eyes were evident.
Yu Yuanchen had achieved the God King level, transcending the world, and was the Dinghai Shenzhen of the sect. And Yu Yunting's achievement of godhood through a new method represented the ultimate glory of the family's bloodline and inheritance, meaning the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a more solid guarantee.
The family was reunited, and there was naturally much joy. Yu Yuanchen also briefly informed his father and grandfather about the concept and prospects of the Path of Divine Spark, which left them both surging with emotion and full of confidence in the future of the sect.
However, in this atmosphere of celebration, Yu Yuanchen keenly sensed a hint of disharmony. During a break in the family gathering, he met his second brother, Yu Luomian.
The current Yu Luomian had a cultivation level that had reached the Level 98 Super Douluo, his aura was condensed, and he was not far from the Level 99 limit. As the Sect Master, his majesty grew day by day. But when he saw Yu Yuanchen, a hint of exhaustion and gloom was hard to completely hide beneath his respectful smile.
What kind of person was Yu Yuanchen? His God King level state of mind was insightful. Although Yu Luomian adjusted his emotions in an instant, that momentary abnormality had been captured by him. He remained calm on the surface, exchanged a few pleasantries with his second brother, and asked about Sect Affairs before finding an excuse to leave.
Afterward, he secretly sent a voice transmission to summon his third brother, Yu Luomian.
In the secret chamber, Yu Luomian saw his eldest brother, and after a respectful salute, he looked puzzled: "Eldest Brother, why did you summon me?"
Yu Yuanchen asked directly: "Luomian, I observe that Luomian seems to have something on his mind lately, his smile is forced. Has anything happened in the sect recently?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of complexity flashed across Yu Luomian's face, and he sighed: "Eldest Brother is discerning... Second Brother is indeed troubled by the matter of that child, Xiaogang."
"Yu Xiaogang?" Yu Yuanchen raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard of the troublesome matters regarding this nephew in his early years, but he hadn't paid much attention to them. After all, there were many disciples in the sect, and as a deity, he couldn't worry about everything.
Yu Luomian immediately recounted in detail how Yu Xiaogang had bullied others in the Clan School, how his Martial Soul Awakening had mutated into the "Three-Pound Cannon" with half a level of Innate Soul Power, how he had subsequently become extreme and resentful, how he had been severely punished by Yu Luomian and sent to a junior Soul Master Academy, and how he had been given a Marrow Cleansing Pill refined by Yu Yunyao to barely raise his Innate Soul Power to level three.
"Second Brother originally pinned a glimmer of bloodline hope on this child. Although he knew his talent was mediocre, he hoped he could be content with his lot and live a stable life. Who would have thought... sigh." Yu Luomian shook his head and sighed. "This child's character is unbearable, stubborn and paranoid, and he refuses to change despite repeated instruction."
"Second Brother has been wise all his life and has managed the Sect Affairs in an orderly manner, yet he gave birth to such a son. How could he feel good in his heart? He even feels that his face has been damaged. A few days ago, it was the day he sent that kid to the academy, so it is inevitable that Second Brother is in low spirits."
After listening, Yu Yuanchen's expression remained calm and waveless. As for Yu Xiaogang, when he read the original work in his previous life, he had been quite dismissive of the so-called "Master" and his theories, believing that his theories were empty and that his own character lacked the heart of a true powerhouse.
Originally, if Yu Xiaogang could have been more competitive, or even just upright in character, he, as his eldest uncle, would not have let his nephew stay with such a low Innate Soul Power. But looking at it now, forget it.
Having transmigrated in this life, although he had changed countless fates, this Yu Xiaogang seemed to still be sliding along some disappointing trajectory.
"Mud cannot be plastered onto a wall," Yu Yuanchen commented lightly in his heart, and then he stopped paying attention. Everyone had their own destiny; the path Yu Xiaogang chose for himself was something others could do nothing about, and it was not worth his time as a God King.
As a father, Yu Luomian had already done his duty; all that remained was to let go. He turned to ask: "How is Yunyao doing lately?"
Mentioning his daughter, a smile appeared on Yu Luomian's face: "Yunyao that girl is doing very well! She is obsessed with her alchemy, soaking in the Medicine Workshop all day. It is said that she is about to complete a new pill recipe. Both the Federation and the sect treasure her dearly."
Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly. Children becoming successful and the family flourishing—that was enough. As for trivial matters like Yu Xiaogang, they were just ripples in the tide that would soon subside.
As for the so-called "original work"? A faint, imperceptible arc appeared at the corner of Yu Yuanchen's mouth. He had descended into this world, pioneered the Martial Way, unified the continent, achieved the God King level, and even now opened up a new path of God Spark for future generations... each and every one of these things had long since turned the so-called "plot" upside down. If everything could still develop according to the "original work," then he would have truly come here for nothing.
After instructing Yu Luomian to assist Yu Luomian more and handle the Sect Affairs well, Yu Yuanchen ended the conversation.
Leaving the secret chamber, Yu Yuanchen looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the plane barrier to see the God Realm in the depths of the endless void. The Path of Divine Spark was open, but the real wind and waves might have just begun.
The attitudes of the two God Kings, Goodness and Evil, would never be as relaxed as the God of Destruction King had said, and the thoughts of the Asura God King were even harder to fathom. In the lower realm, the spread of this method also needed to be guided cautiously to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil.
