Although both were "energy networks," they developed in completely different directions. The Magical Web expanded outward, with the ultimate goal of replacing the very concept of magic power. The Godhood Network condensed inward, eventually becoming a physical godhood capable of bearing greater power.
Isaac now needed to change the Godhood Network's inward development into outward expansion like the Magical Web's, while anchoring it to the concept of the "world." That was the hard part.
Isaac studied the information in his hands, tapping a finger lightly on the table as he worked through the experiment's steps in his mind. The approach was sound; his Golden Finger had confirmed that much. But the current chance of success was less than ten percent...
That meant only the general direction was right. Much of his reasoning still needed revision.
After a moment's thought, Isaac headed to the laboratory. He could think about it all he wanted, but nothing beat trying it himself. Even failure would teach him something. When he arrived, Lapis Lazuli had already prepared the materials for this experiment: Divine Spirit Rats.
Little Mouse's own kind, though Little Mouse would never admit it.
Of course, by now, they could hardly be considered the same species. As a Third Tier Divine Species, Little Mouse had officially set foot on the path to godhood. These Divine Spirit Rats had only just become capable of breeding reliably.
Not every offspring inherited a Godhood Network, either. Only a tiny minority had one, and most of those networks could not grow. That alone was a fascinating research topic. A Godhood Network passing through bloodline inheritance was exceedingly rare, since most Divine Species were unique. They had started as ordinary creatures, then mutated into Divine Species after exposure to special energies during gestation or growth!
Yes, for all
