NOVPUBChapter 1258: Chapter 998: Three Paths_3 Chapter 1258: Chapter 998: Three Paths_3 He wasn’t favoring any particular path, he was simply stating a fact.
The second path, which seemed to have the least potential, could actually be a good option; it just required the backing of a powerful force.
If it were a time of peace, he probably wouldn’t have promised to grant the Tri-Eyed Emperor a top-grade piece of Godhood in the future, because Divine Realm Practitioners at the Peak were extremely rare among countless cultivators.
Years might pass without the fall of a single one at that level, and even if one did perish, there was no guarantee he would acquire their Godhood. And even if he did, was he obliged to give it to the Tri-Eyed Emperor?
However, in the future, a great battle against the Acquired Divine Race was inevitable, as was his confrontation with some of the cultivators at the Peak Divine Realm. Should he slay a few of them and secure their top-grade Godhood, he had few capable individuals by his side, and the Tri-Eyed Emperor had been a significant help recently; giving him one wouldn’t be out of place.
On the other hand, the cost-effectiveness of the first and third paths was not so great. After much effort on the first path, one might still not achieve the heights of the second. The third path was even riskier, with the danger of falling into reincarnation, a truly irreversible fate.
“The Tri-Eyed Divine Clan, throughout history, has there only been one at the Peak Divine Realm?” Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Tri-Eyed Emperor showed a slight surprise. He had heard Lin Yun say that among the countless Innate Divine Races, the Tri-Eyed Divine Clan was not weak.
He did not think Lin Yun was deceiving him, as it was unnecessary. Once he ascended to the Divine Realm, he would eventually learn the truth by entering that circle.
Therefore, he came to appreciate more profoundly what Lin Yun had mentioned about the extreme scarcity of Peak Divine Realm cultivators.
The number of those at the Peak Divine Realm was genuinely small and difficult to attain, likely even more challenging than for ordinary Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld to cultivate to the Peak Saint King Realm; no, even more challenging than reaching the Divine Realm.
“Hmm?”
Just then, the Tri-Eyed Emperor had a sudden thought.
He considered that if the Peak Divine Realm was so rare, then why did the Blood Emperor say that if one secured a top-grade piece of Godhood… such Godhood could only be obtained by completely vanquishing a Peak Divine Realm cultivator.
If the Blood Emperor was not bragging, then it meant that he was likely to make enemies with cultivators at the Peak Divine Realm in the future.
With this in mind, the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s heart shook fiercely.
He felt that the likelihood of the Blood Emperor being boastful was minimal; the possibility of the latter was far greater.
Yet, could the Blood Emperor handle being an enemy of those at the Peak Divine Realm?
Your Highness… Your Highness…
He had originally thought that in his previous life as a Divine Clan member, the Blood Emperor might have been the prince of a divine group!
Now it seemed that even if the Blood Emperor was a prince in his previous life, that divine group’s king was definitely among the top tiers within the numerous divine realms!
Because… the enemies of the Blood Emperor could potentially be not just one, but many Peak Divine Realm entities!
He knew his place; if there was only a single Peak Divine Realm entity and the Blood Emperor slew him, earning one top-grade piece of Godhood, did he even qualify for it?
Yet, this did little to affect the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s state of mind. The strong often have the determination to face difficulties head-on, rather than think of retreating at the mention of challenges. Even if they were to fall, they might as well enter the cycle of reincarnation, sparing him the trouble of considering the third path.
