Willpower Strength-True God Great Perfection

Once, twice, three times...

Gu Ding's Will Projection was crushed to pieces time and time again, but he was re-projected again and again, starting the climb from scratch.

Each time, the Will Projection that he reassembled was stronger than the last. As it turned out, in this space, the shattering of the Will Projection not only did not damage Gu Ding's will, but instead made it more solid and profound.

In reality, this is impossible. In the Real World, anyone whose Will Projection collapses will suffer a degree of trauma; this trauma cannot be recovered from quickly, and it's impossible to become stronger because of such a collapse. If this were the case, countless people would likely use this method to strengthen their willpower.

Gu Ding was able to do this because of the special effects of the Great Will Sky Tablet. It not only increased his willpower recovery speed by hundreds of times, but also had the special effect of breaking down and rebuilding, making Gu Ding's will stronger with each defeat.

Gu Ding didn't quite remember how many times his Will Projection had collapsed; he only knew that each time the Will Projection reassembled, it could climb higher than the last.

Seven thousand steps, eight thousand steps, nine thousand steps...

He even forgot the passage of time, focused solely on climbing to higher levels.

"Eighteen thousand steps, only ten left. But in order to take that next step, my Will Projection has collapsed eleven times, and I still haven't made an inch..." Gu Ding frowned as he looked ahead, shrouded in mist. Only two or three steps were visible; if he hadn't been counting, he probably wouldn't have known he was so close to the finish line. But it was these last ten steps that he simply couldn't bring himself to take.

"My willpower has long since reached the level of Tenth Sequence True God, but I am still one step away from the Great Perfection. According to the information given by the Great Will Sky Tablet, if I cannot climb the 18,000th step, I will not be able to gain the recognition of the Great Will Sky Tablet, obtain its true right to use it, and amplify my willpower. Without the amplification effect, it is nothing short of a pipe dream for me to try to erase the Will Projection on my own."

"We'll risk everything to rescue Hake!" Gu Ding's initial frustration was instantly reignited by the thought of Hake's current predicament. He lifted his foot and continued trying.

Outside the Time Acceleration Cabin, almost a day had passed. Beika, sitting cross-legged, finally couldn't contain herself and struck up a conversation with Sea Emperor, "How many times faster is his time-acceleration device?"

"Time is accelerated a hundredfold inside; Gu Ding should be able to come out in a few days," the Sea Emperor replied.

"A hundred times... that's still not enough. Tempering one's will is not something that can be done easily. It usually takes several years to see initial results. Given Gu Ding's situation, it would be good if he could come out within twenty days."

"You underestimate Gu Ding. Knowing him as I do, he'll be out in three days at most, and he'll definitely be able to meet the conditions for obliterating the projection of the Main God's Will," the Sea Emperor said, offering his opinion.

"Kids, I know that Gu Ding is your captain, so you all think he is omnipotent, but things are not as simple as you think." Beika thought that the Sea Emperor was overestimating Gu Ding.

"A little kid?" Sea Emperor raised an eyebrow. It was no wonder people misunderstood him with that appearance. "How about this? Let's make a bet."

"A bet?" Beika found it somewhat amusing.

"Let's bet on how many days it will take for Gu Ding to come out. I say within three days, how many days do you say?" Sea Emperor asked with a serious expression.

"Tell me what you're betting on first?" Beika wasn't particularly interested in the bet.

"It's simple. If I win, you Gu Ding Pirate Crew. If I lose, I can do one thing for you." The Sea Emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

But in Beika's opinion, the Sea Emperor was exaggerating. "Do me a favor? Is there anything you can do that I can't?"

"There are many things I can do that you can't, such as monitoring your senior sister's every move from a great distance?" the Sea Emperor said, as Diliya's figure was projected in front of him.

In the scene, Diliya is sitting by the window of her hotel room, staring blankly at something.

"You're a hacker?!" Beika's eyes lit up.

"I suppose so," the Sea Emperor did not deny.

"Alright, I'll take the bet. If I win, I need to know my senior sister's whereabouts at any time. Can you do that?" Beika's biggest concern was Diliya.

"Of course, I can monitor her wherever she goes." For the Sea Emperor, this was a piece of cake. "Report the number of days."

"In that case, I'll set it at around fifteen days. I won't take advantage of you; if it's within thirteen days or more than seventeen days, I'll consider it a wrong guess." Beika was quite reasonable. "But what if we're both wrong?"

"Then let's pretend the bet never happened." The Sea Emperor had already thought this through.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Beika originally didn't take this frivolous betting seriously, but the other party had the chips he wanted, which made it impossible for him to refuse.

After the bet was set, the two waited patiently for the result.

Just as the first day was about to end, the door of the Time Acceleration Cabin was suddenly pushed open.

Both Sea Emperor and Beika looked towards the doorway with some surprise.

The moment Beika saw that figure, he knew he had lost. This was not only because the figure belonged to Gu Ding, but also because he sensed a powerful fluctuation of willpower emanating from that figure. That fluctuation had clearly reached the peak level of a true god.

"Did it succeed?" Sea Emperor asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, it worked." Gu Ding nodded and walked towards the two of them.

"Is your current willpower the same as it was after that device was used to enhance it?" Beika, somewhat doubtful.

"It's not the strength after the blessing, it's the strength of my own will." Gu Ding shook his head.

"Judging from the fluctuations, your current willpower is already infinitely close to the level of a god. But that's not enough; it must become even stronger. How strong will it become after being empowered by that treasure?" Beika was somewhat concerned about this question, because the answer to this question would determine whether Hake could be rescued immediately.

"I haven't tried it yet, but I'll give it a shot." Gu Ding said, merging his consciousness into the Great Will Sky Tablet and controlling the stele to amplify the strength of his will.

Inside the spaceship, Gu Ding's willpower surged.

First Sequence Heavenly God level, Second Sequence Heavenly God level...

It only stopped when it barely reached the level of a Celestial in the Fourth Sequence.

"This intensity should be sufficient, and judging from the fluctuations, the strength of your will is beyond my expectations." Beika gave a satisfied gesture after reviewing the data. (To be continued~^~)
