Once, twice… Ten times, a hundred times… Su Ping lost count of how many times he had resurrected; he simply felt he was able to survive for longer each time.
At first, he wasn't able to think peacefully during the painful resurrections; he could only force his body to absorb as much deity aura from the rivers as possible.
The deity aura inside his body was being constantly purified, but it was still not nearly as pure as the one found in the rivers.
He gradually got accustomed to the pain during the resurrections, and began to enjoy the absorption of energy.
The integration of the accumulation inside his body and the original deity aura from the rivers sounded like a simple process, but it was intricate and amazing. Infinite energy was parsed and transformed into something more fundamental. Su Ping was able to see how deity aura evolved as the energies were interweaving, and how it could be used.
