CHAPTER 1686: CHAPTER 720 BECOMING A GOD

"The God of Decapitation paired with the Seam God forms the most basic condition for achieving Heavenly Dao." Lilith nodded thoughtfully, "However, there must also be a divine power to act as a balance."

"Time, or Order?" Mu You asked.

Both of these are top-tier divine powers he possessed, and it’s not impossible to pass them down to his daughter.

"The demand for the grade of the balancing divine power isn’t so high; it doesn’t have to be a top-tier divine power, but it must have a high degree of compatibility with oneself, far surpassing the remaining two opposing divine powers, to effectively balance it." Blood God said.

"Compatibility, huh..." Mu You frowned.

In this case, determining what the third divine power is becomes difficult. Mu You has six divine powers, and Lin Xue has four; aside from Decapitation and Seam, they have eight divine powers that could potentially be inherited, so anything is possible.

Next, Blood God took a drop of their daughter’s blood and headed to the laboratory, preparing to analyze the divine powers contained within it through blood analysis.

This analysis took an entire day, and it wasn’t until the next morning that Blood God emerged from the room.

"The results are out. There are a total of four divine powers in your daughter’s blood."

"Aside from the God of Decapitation and the Seam God, the remaining two are Order and the Grim Reaper." Lilith said.

Mu You and Lin Xue exchanged a glance; these were exactly their primary divine powers.

"So, the other divine power forming the Heavenly Dao is Order?" Mu You asked.

"No, it’s the Grim Reaper."

Lilith looked at the two: "In your daughter’s blood, the content of the Power of Order is extremely minimal, almost undetectable. Such a low content only indicates that her compatibility with Order is very poor, and if not for Order being your primary faith as her father, she might not have inherited it at all."

"On the other hand, the power of the Grim Reaper occupies over 80% of her total divine power content, with extremely high compatibility, almost perfectly aligning with her talent."

As Lilith spoke, she glanced at the data recorded on the paper and murmured softly, "Judging from your case, the primary divine powers of parents might be surely inherited, no matter how poor the compatibility is, there will definitely be at least a portion. The inheritance of Divine Bone powers seems to be a matter of chance; among eight Divine Bone powers, only two were inherited, coincidentally the opposing divine powers of Decapitation and Seam... does this mean opposing divine powers are prioritized for inheritance?"

Blood God could not draw a firm conclusion yet. After all, the Heavenly Dao is a newly emerged concept; although many had relentlessly studied it before, their understanding remained theoretical. Making something practical out of it involves too many intricacies—the examples of Mu You and his wife alone are not enough, requiring more instances to explore.

Only when the number of Divine Authority Holders among humans grows over time and the offspring of these holders appear in large numbers, might the rules be discerned.

"I see..."

Mu You nodded. He didn’t particularly care whose talents his daughter inherited more, but it was a bit of a shame that of the total ten divine powers between them, only four were inherited...

"Wait... what about Time Divine Power?" Mu You suddenly remembered this aspect.

He had previously seen a future vision through his daughter, thinking she must have a portion of Future God’s Authority, but the result was only those four types?

"Time Divine Power... no, or at least I didn’t observe it." Blood God shook his head.

"How could that be..."

Mu You was bewildered. How should he explain the previous future vision?

"The vision you saw, I suspect, might be due to her Heavenly Dao."

Blood God said, "In her blood, I did sense a very nascent Power of Heaven. But this Heavenly Dao differs from ordinary ones; it is a gentle kind of Heavenly Dao."

"A gentle Heavenly Dao..."

"Yes, for instance, your Heavenly Dao with the God of Chaos falls under the category of overbearing and kingly types, primarily aggressive, highly invasive, capable of easily suppressing other divine powers. But your daughter’s Heavenly Dao is extremely gentle, almost non-aggressive; when I touched this Heavenly Dao, I felt no repulsion, and instead, this power temporarily enhanced me, making my control over blood more refined..."

Blood God pondered, "So I speculate that Heavenly Dao is divided into many types, each exhibiting different functionalities. As for how various Heavenly Daos take shape, it’s hard to say—perhaps it’s due to individuals’ differing constitutions, but more likely, it’s because of the three divine powers that compose the Heavenly Dao, particularly the balancing divine power. The type and grade of the balancing divine power are highly likely to determine the final type of Heavenly Dao formed."

"An auxiliary type of Heavenly Dao... your meaning?" Mu You, hearing Blood God say that his daughter’s Heavenly Dao briefly perfected her divine power, already had a hunch.

Blood God nodded: "The future vision you saw was very likely your own ability, merely activated by your daughter’s Power of Heaven."

It was actually his own ability?

Mu You was surprised, but not too astonished, because indeed, within Time Divine Power, there exists a very small part of Future God’s Authority, which the first Dawn City Lord had once developed.

Only, the control over the future part of this divine power is very hard, requiring specific talents, and his own Time talent mostly remained in the past and present; after the training session in the Heart of Time ended, he failed to inherit any future abilities, thus subconsciously dismissing it.

Little did he expect the part of the divine power that he had forgotten to be activated by his daughter’s Heavenly Dao...

Subsequently, the two deities performed further tests on their daughter, obtaining more detailed data.

Ultimately, the outcome was that indeed, his daughter’s Heavenly Dao possesses the ability to complete divine powers and accelerate the digestion of divine powers.
