Chapter 119 - Deity

Skycloud was nodded again and again, "So, if there is a particular distribution, in terms of strength and growth rate between the demon spirit, they should fuse effortlessly?"

Tatsuya was currently explaining the experiment to the Hierarchs. Long Shuyun was standing beside her mother, but her eyes looked unhappy. She felt she had been used.

Martialsky took the paper, "how are we sure this would work?"

Tatsuya shook his head, "we don't, but if it does work, the final outcome might be what one needed to push to a higher realm."

Skycloud was surprised, "You mean they would reach Martial Ancestor Realm in one go?"

Tatsuya shook his head, "this is just intuition, but I feel they might reach Deity Realm."

Suddenly, silence covered the whole room.

Linglong softly patted his back, "Kid, do you even know how can one reach the Deity Realm?"

Tatsuya saw them not believing. If it wasn't for the fact that Tatsuya had produced exceptional theory, they would have laughed at him and shook their head thinking, the boy doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth.

Tatsuya hesitantly nodded, "I have a hypothesis about how to reach it."

This time everyone in the room was surprised they had thought the boy had no idea what he was talking about. But, it seems the situation was different.

Tatsuya hesitated, "I think it is related to the understanding of Heavenly Dao." He got the idea from Law Energy.

Yu Yan was cultivating Heavenly Energy, She was starting to convert her Law Energy. It was synchronizing her with the Heavenly Dao. She just needed time, and she would reach a realm surpassing Martial Ancestor. It made Tatsuya think that the Spiritual Gods realm was a shortcut. Once you become a spiritual god, rather than taking thousands of years to reach a higher rank. It would take a decade at most to arrive at that realm. That was without enough resources.

After he explained his whole theory to the Hierarch's, leaving them speechless.

Long Shuyun was away from the realm; that is why she recovered sooner than the others. She realized Tatsuya might be right about that realm since the other hierarchs were so quiet, "How does this make them reach Deity Realm?"

Tatsuya glanced at her before saying, "Take the example that you chose 9 different beasts with the void element. You learn their combat skills, realize the in-depth meaning of void from them. When they combine into one within your Fate Soul, it would be like seeing different sides of void combining into one pure void, increasing your understanding. I feel that it might be enough to open your path to Deity Realm. Your cultivation speed and combat powers would increase. All you would lack would be Heavenly Energy before you reach the Deity Rank."

Long Shuyun didn't understand the depth of it. Five who had reached the peak of Martial Ancestor widened their eyes, realizing something. If they had seen something like that, felt something like that, maybe they wouldn't be stuck in this realm.

Martialsky's arms were trembling as he closed his eyes, "oh! how I wish I was in Heavenly Fate Rank."

The other looked a bit sad too. Although Hierarchs hadn't tried it, it looked hopeful. It might bring a massive change across the whole Draconic Ruins Realm if it succeeded.

Tatsuya hesitated as if he wanted to speak something.

Linglong, who was beside him, noticed the small fluctuations in his expression, "What is it? You can say freely?"

Encouraged by her, Tatsuya spoke, "There was a chain experiment that I had planned for after this one."

Skycloud was interested; Tatsuya's experiment had been a massive surprise for them. It made him wonder what it was, "what is it?" Not only him, but others were also so.

"It would be better if I showed you," Suddenly, their eyes became vacant, but in the next instance, they broke free.

Martialsky frowned, "what was that." They broke free before they could understand the situation. It was only instinct.

Tatsuya sighed, "You might have to experience it to understand."

Linglong nodded, "We were caught off guard. Try again."

Tatsuya nodded, "I will, please don't resist." After a few seconds, they awakened.

"What was that? It looked...so real." Long Shuyun thought she really was someplace else.

"That was the Tiny World; my demon spirits ability allows me to project what I have seen to someone else. It looks as real as it could be. That is why I had hoped I can observe the first batch of people who had successfully completed experiment one. And during their breakthrough, witness the merge. And for Experiment 2, I could project the same thing to someone else with the same element to see if they can gain something."

After an hour,

Everyone had shifted from the room to the lawn. For the past hour, Hierarchs had been testing how much of the event Tatsuya's ability could reproduce.

With Sharingan, he remembered the images and Elemental sight he remembered the information. Tatsuya produced a dream sequence that even Hierarch couldn't find a flaw in. If they didn't know it was created by Tatsuya's ability, they would believe they were currently in the Glory City. Even when they tried to show their combat abilities, Tatsuya was able to reproduce them effortlessly.

They were sure of it, "this might just work!!"

Martialsky coughed, "Tatsuya, what all do you need for the experiment?"

Tatsuya thought for a bit, "I prefer to start with someone who had reached Stage 9 of Heavenly Axis Realm. Although I have hypothesized that one would need to enter the Heavenly Star Realm before merging with 9th demon spirits. I think it would be good if we start by making those who are about to reach Dao of Dragon, so we see the phenomenon at their time of merge. And see if it could help you achieve the Deity Rank."

Martialsky laughed, "you don't have to be so nervous, even if it doesn't help us. It would make a new generation of Divine Feathers Sect much stronger than the last." He could only imagine how much stronger a demon spirit with all those abilities be and how much more combat power someone with that demon spirit has.

Skycloud and the others nodded; they were fine even if they didn't reach the Deity Rank. The next generation would be much more powerful; they would have greater hope to arrive at that rank.

Tatsuya, on the contrary, shook his head, "I have more interest in Deity Rank. This whole experiment was for the purpose so people can reach that rank."

Martialsky's mouth twitched; the kind who had barely reached Heavenly Fate Rank told him that he wanted to make someone achieve Deity Rank. And the crazy part was that he thought it was possible.

He nodded, "Fine, we can do that first. But, Tatsuya, can you tell me...Why are you doing this? What do you hope to achieve."

Tatsuya glanced towards Long Shuyun, who had an intrigued look in her eyes. She purposefully licked her lips as she gazed in Tatsuya's eyes, "I don't have any big reasons. I am doing this because it interests me. After spending a few days here, I feel Divine Feathers Sect has stagnated. It is slowly starting to get corrupted, and I really don't like the atmosphere. I was expecting so much more from it. In fact, that might have served as motivation, but truly I am doing this because I can. Nothing more, nothing less." Tatsuya explained without hesitating. It really wasn't because of the Sage Emperor or any big goal. It was what Tatsuya felt defined him. Maybe, they would never understand. This was the only thing other than Miyuki that described him. Something only he could do, something he liked to do.

When he looked up, everyone had a peculiar look in their eyes as they looked at him.

Linglong held his face between her hands, "So, you helped my granddaughter Yuyin because you can?"

Tatsuya gazed at her awkwardly, "I have a lot of plans for her. She has the unreal drive about getting stronger. I also thought..." Tatsuya looked away, "someone like her might straighten up this sect."

Linglong laughed out loud. Martialsky and Skyclod had an awkwardness on their face.

This was in some way a criticism to them, but they both knew how right Tatsuya was. They really were helpless about it.

Linglong stopped smiling and looked at Tatsuya, "are you so sure about her? Although she is my granddaughter, I don't think she has what it takes."

Long Shuyun looked displeased, "Mother!!"

Linglong shot a look towards her, "Don't look at me like that. You have spoiled that child."

Tatsuya agreed with her, "The way she is now, she won't even be able to maintain a small force. But, I believe if she can change, she would have much more to offer. If she succeeds, then you might see what I see in her."

Martialsky nodded, "We will; for now, why don't you tell us what all would be needed for the experiment. I will prepare them for you. We can start tomorrow."

"I will write it down. I do have a request. I would like Miyuki and few other people to be there to see the whole process. Is that possible?"

Skycloud narrowed his eyes, "Miyuki? the girl that is currently number 1 on saint soul board?"
