CHAPTER 3431: CHAPTER 3451: DISLIKED?

The advantages of the Heavenly God Clan, Lin Chen acknowledges.

The advantages of the race, one must acknowledge.

Speaking up to this point, Lin Chen followed up with a question: "The Heavenly God Clan’s racial advantages are immense, which is inevitable, otherwise, how could they become the cosmic dominators?"

Lin Chen first praised his counterpart before asking the true question he wanted to ask: "The Heavenly God Clan possesses the Tao Spirit, absorbs it to break the realm and become Saints. I want to ask, what about other races outside the Heavenly God Clan? If they have the chance to obtain the Tao Spirit, could they smoothly become Saints like the Heavenly God Clan?"

"I heard that after you become Saints, you are akin to followers of the Heaven Deity. Then, are there any differences in the matter of followers between other races becoming Saints and the Saints of the Heavenly God Clan?"

Although Lin Chen could privately ask Ning Hesheng, since the topic had already been brought up, Lin Chen used their sense of superiority to ask a few more questions, making him seem highly authentic, perfectly fitting the identity of an ignorant Lower Realm commoner.

Man A glanced at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with unmistakable mockery.

You are inquiring about becoming a Saint?

If you have a single attribute spiritual root, maybe one day you’d get lucky, perhaps even become one, but you have the Five Elements Spirit Root, requiring five portions of Tao Spirit to advance to Saint.

Five portions!

You’re dreaming!

You are a slave; no matter how valuable you are, you can’t be more valuable than five Saints, so you can’t obtain five portions of Tao Spirit in your lifetime!

Despite the inner mockery of Lin Chen’s unrealistic dreams, he still answered Lin Chen’s questions.

"In the matter of becoming Saints, there’s no difference between the Heavenly God Clan and other races; as long as they can absorb the Tao Spirit, it indicates that they can become Saints, and the result after becoming Saints is the same."

"As for the matter of followers you mentioned, the Heaven Deity doesn’t really care, even the Divine Descent Technique. If not used by Saints of the Heavenly God Clan, the result is the same, though there may be special circumstances, like doing something that displeases the Heaven Deity, then the outcome of utilizing the Divine Descent Technique might differ."

Displeasing the Heaven Deity?

Is there really a chance to displease?

If someone displeased the Heaven Deity, wouldn’t that swiftly lead to extermination?

Lin Chen slightly relaxed; his biggest worry was becoming a Saint only to end up lesser due to racial issues, constrained everywhere, which would be troublesome.

"There’s another question: the Five Elements Spirit Root requires five portions of Tao Spirit to become a Saint. After becoming a Saint, which Heaven Deity would they be a follower of?"

Disciple B answered, "They would count for all five."

After a pause, before Lin Chen could continue asking, he volunteered further explanation: "Normally, for the Five Elements Spirit Root, all five Heaven Deities of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth are considered divine masters, and Saints with the Five Elements Spirit Root are seen as followers jointly of the Five Elements Heaven Deity, but this often leads the Heaven Deities to shun them."

"For instance, a descendant of a Heaven Deity with the Five Elements Spirit Root, under the care of the Heaven Deity, naturally cultivates the top-level cultivation techniques, consumes top-tier resources, and ultimately becomes a Saint, but when fighting with others, only uses the Divine Descent Technique to summon their family elder Heaven Deity, instead of other Heaven Deities."

Lin Chen roughly understood and asked, frowning: "Is it because other Heaven Deities would resent them?"

"Yes."

Disciple B snorted coldly: "You’re a descendant of other Heaven Deities, whatever relationship you have with them, if you’re in trouble, go to your family’s Great One; what’s the point of seeking other Heaven Deities, how should they exert effort, after all, you still belong to someone else’s family..."

Lin Chen comprehensively understood: "This Five Elements Spirit Root Saint because of having a Heaven Deity elder in the family, thus only seeks their family elder and not others. While ordinary Five Elements Spirit Root Saints might end up being disliked by all Heaven Deities, resulting in nobody paying attention to them, is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

Disciple B looked at Lin Chen with sympathy: "From a spiritual root standpoint, the Five Elements Spirit Root is a very powerful spiritual root, but in reality, it is extremely challenging to cultivate successfully. You should think less about it and stay peacefully in our clan."

Lin Chen remained silent, a grave expression on his face, seemingly affected by the words.

Lin Chen truly did not expect there to be such issues.

The principle is actually easy to comprehend: an individual planting a tree versus five individuals planting a tree, isn’t the same?

An individual’s livelihood is tied to the tree, they invest more energy, and it thrives better.

It belongs solely to them.

However, when five individuals plant a tree, to whom does it ultimately belong?

All five can water and fertilize it, but upon considering that the grown tree may not belong to them, they likely belong to others, why properly tend to it?

Whoever wishes to care for it can care for it.

I have other trees to plant, why invest energy into one that may not end up being theirs?

The principle lies therein.

The people observed Lin Chen’s somber demeanor, the mockery in their eyes growing increasingly evident.

Just be a slave obediently.

Thinking aimlessly, dreaming?

The giant ship flew on, passing through one teleportation gate after another.

Lin Chen naturally had seen teleportation gates before, but such magnificently grand gates he was witnessing for the first time.

Every teleportation gate is several kilometers high, unimaginably wide, and the mountain-like giant ship can easily pass through it.

"These teleportation gates look enormous; if they were to break, repairing them would not require tremendous effort?"

Ning Hesheng responded, "No one dares to destroy the teleportation gates, unless they’re weary of living."

Lin Chen looked at Ning Hesheng surprised, "Why?"

Ning Hesheng answered, "On every teleportation gate, there’s a Heaven Deity mark. If damaged, the mark activates, instantly alerting the Heaven Deity, even instantly manifesting."

"The Heavenly God Realm is vast; without these teleportation gates, it would fragment into scattered sands, unable to normally interact, hence the Heaven Deities established this rule: whoever destroys the teleportation gates faces death."

Lin Chen was astonished, never imagining such regulations in the Heavenly God Realm.

However, upon considering it, it bears a certain logic; these teleportation gates unite the vast Heavenly God Realm, enhancing circulation and communication across regions, bolstering its prosperity and development.

To get rich, build roads first—isn’t it the same concept?

Lin Chen’s thoughts shifted unexpectedly: "But if a conflict erupts between Saints, wouldn’t it bring about destruction?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "The Heaven Deities also have regulations; if a conflict between Saints affects the world and harms the innocent, they will incur penalties. So, if a fight is inevitable, it takes place either in desolate regions or in the Outer Heaven..."

Lin Chen thought sharp-wittedly: "If I’m losing, but unwilling to concede, what if I just run towards crowded areas?"
