CHAPTER 738: 176. BREAKING ARRAY MOMENT

"It’s a pity..."

The masked man in the black robe looked at Lin Yue with regret and sighed, "You are only thirty-four years old, yet you have already created such an almost perfect Ultimate Heaven and Earth. Given more time, you might have truly succeeded in Harmonization. It’s just such a pity...now your Divine Soul is nearing collapse, and your days are numbered..."

To think so highly of me, yet not try to find a way to save me? Lin Yue muttered to himself.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Does the Star Temple have Treasures like the Reincarnation Fruit that can reshape a Divine Soul?"

"Reincarnation Fruit?"

The masked man in the black robe gently shook his head and said, "The Reincarnation Fruit is a unique existence in the world, only one can be nurtured in each era. With a total of twelve Star Temples, how could there possibly be a Reincarnation Fruit?"

Lin Yue had already known that these top opportunities were what they called Lifebound Divine Artifacts, but he couldn’t help asking clearly because he was not resigned.

"Besides the Reincarnation Fruit, are there any other methods for a True God to reshape a Divine Soul?" Lin Yue pressed on.

"There are." The masked man in the black robe nodded and said, "The Children of Taichu can do it as well, essentially reshaping a Divine Soul is creating something from nothing, both the Children of Taichu and a True God can achieve this."

"...Might as well have said nothing."

Lin Yue sighed somewhat helplessly.

However, he also understood the meaning behind the Spirit of the Stars.

To repair a Divine Soul is the process of gradually restoring it from imperfection to perfection.

Whereas reshaping a Divine Soul is completely zeroing it out and giving birth to it anew.

The difficulty of the two is completely different.

The collapse of the Divine Soul caused by forcibly attempting Harmonization is due to the lack of compatibility between the Divine Soul and the Inner Heaven and Earth after their union, but the Inner Heaven and Earth has already become a part of the Divine Soul. No matter how much it is repaired, the Inner Heaven and Earth will not change, and the Divine Soul will still collapse.

Just like cancer cells that have spread throughout the body, there’s no other way but to start over.

No matter how much one repairs, it’s only treating the symptoms, not the cause.

One can only start over.

"Entering Reincarnation and being reborn might be an option."

The masked man in the black robe said, "However, it must be one of the Three Great Worlds opened by Taichu, unless you are willing to give up the Ultimate Path. Once you lose the identity of the Ancient Human Clan, you will never be able to reach the Ultimate."

Lin Yue sighed.

Being able to transform various insights into the Ultimate Path was key because of Taichu’s guidance.

It was like the divine stroke that completes a dragon painting, without that stroke, it would always lack a little essence, as if it was Taichu that helped to fill in the missing piece.

If, after Reincarnation, one is no longer of the Ancient Human Clan, then naturally one would lose the Ultimate Path.

"Of course."

The masked man in the black robe continued, "If you really have a chance to enter one of those Three Great Worlds, once you undergo Reincarnation, becoming a part of that world, it will basically be very difficult to leave."

Lin Yue nodded.

This was not beyond his expectation. If the people of those Three Great Worlds could come and go freely, the situation would have changed long ago.

So, he had basically ruled out that choice.

Unless he could find a couple like his parents did back then, to enter together, and be reincarnated as the fetus in the womb, returning before birth.

But such a maneuver was also impossible to achieve.

First, although he had the Yanfu Key, it could only allow him to enter the Yanfu World, and could not take a couple with him.

Second, he could not control the Reincarnation process to be reborn precisely.

"How exactly did Xiahou Shou manage it back then..."

Lin Yue pondered, but it wasn’t the time to receive his memories now; that would have to wait until he returned to Di Hong City.

"Divine Soul collapse, I cannot help you with that."

The masked man in the black robe waved his sleeve and said, "But you have passed the test and are entitled to this great opportunity."

A droplet of turquoise liquid instantly appeared in mid-air. It seemed inconspicuous and barely had any aura, but as soon as it appeared, it started to twist the surrounding Void, as if it was incredibly heavy.

"This is a droplet of ’Heavenly Craft Creation Dew’."

The masked man in the black robe said, "It is an excellent treasure for nurturing Lifebound Divine Artifacts, coveted even by the Children of Divine Masters and the Children of Taichu to nurture their own Lifebound Divine Artifacts."

"Lifebound Divine Artifact?" Lin Yue asked in confusion, "I know about Lifebound Treasures, which can grow as the owner grows, and Semi-Divine Artifacts and Divine Artifacts can also exert increasingly powerful might as Cultivation increases, right?"

The masked man in the black robe shook his head and said, "Do your Divine Artifact and Semi-Divine Artifact truly completely harmonize with your own path?"

Lin Yue was taken aback.

Indeed.

Even if different people comprehend the same Sun Chasing Path, Infinite Path... it is always only over ninety percent similar; there are minute differences.

"A Lifebound Divine Artifact is centered around the path you control, and can even change the Divine Power within it; its might is naturally stronger than a similar Divine Artifact."

The masked man in the black robe said, "Another thing is the upper limit. I wonder if you’ve noticed that the might amplified by Divine Artifacts and Semi-Divine Artifacts has an upper limit. Once you cultivate a Divine Body, the usefulness of Semi-Divine Artifacts is basically reaching its limit. For a Divine Son, Divine Artifacts are also nearing their limit."

Lin Yue nodded slowly.

Indeed.

Today, when he used the pseudo Taichu Divine Power to activate artifacts like Flying Spirit Chasing Sun, he had faintly felt Flying Spirit Chasing Sun reaching its endurance limit.

After all, Semi-Divine Artifacts are only Proving existences crafted with precious materials, meant to better exhibit one’s own path and Power, but they ultimately have a limit to what they can endure.

As for the Divine Artifact Infinite Starry Sky, although it is far from reaching its endurance limit, it is also because he has not completely merged with this Divine Artifact and is unable to unleash its true might.

The true might of a Divine Artifact can only potentially be unleashed after reaching the Proving Realm, fully recognizing the owner, and completely merging with the Divine Artifact.
