Cosmic God Realm

"Hmm, with your current strength, you've already reached the level of an ordinary god. Based on combat power calculations, you've also entered the First-Level Sequence realm. Very good. When you truly enter the Spirit God Realm, your combat power might reach the Second-Level Sequence. At that time, even among the many powerful beings in the Spirit God Realm, you'll be considered among the top."

Whis carefully examined the changes within Roland's body and nodded in satisfaction.

Upon hearing Whis mention the Spirit God Realm and combat strength, Roland was puzzled and asked, "Whis, speaking of the Spirit God Realm of the Spirit God Realm, what exactly is it? I still only have a vague understanding. Could you explain it to me in more detail?"

"And what about the combat strength you mentioned?"

Roland knew that cosmic-level gods like the Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction were at the Spirit God Realm, but it was hard to say whether Galaxy gods like the King Kai and the Grand King Kai were at the Spirit God Realm. However, based on information revealed in later plot developments, the Super Saiyan God, who was promoted from a mortal, was definitely also at the Spirit God Realm.

However, to be honest, Roland wasn't quite sure what the differences were between these two types, or whether there was any hierarchy among them.

Furthermore, the so-called combat strength, judging from the First-Level Sequence and Second-Level Sequence, seems to be another system of measurement. Is it specifically used to classify the strength of those at the Spirit God Realm?

Because it concerned his next step in cultivation, Roland urgently needed to figure this out.

"Hehe, even if you hadn't asked, I would have explained this to you properly so that you would have a clear understanding of the divisions within the entire Zeno Multiverse."

Whis smiled faintly and spoke in a gentle and refined manner, his calm voice bringing a sense of peace to those who heard it.

I know this. The main rulers of the Zeno World are Zeno and the Grand Priest, followed by the God of Destruction and Supreme Kai of each universe.

Roland silently agreed and humbly listened to Whis's teachings.

Whis cleared his throat and said, "Let me first explain the structure of the Zeno Multiverse to give you a basic understanding of how the universe works. You may have already heard about this, but I'll repeat it again: The Zeno Multiverse doesn't distinguish between parallel universes. Each parallel universe has twelve universes, and each universe has two God Realm — the Realm of the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai World, managed by the God of God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai, respectively."

Below the two God Realm lie the Otherworld and the Living World.

The Otherworld is divided into three parts: the Yellow Springs, Hell, and Other World. The Living World is divided into four major Galaxy: the East, South, West, and North. Of course, the Galaxy here refers to a regional range, not the Galaxy where Earth is located. The Galaxy is just a small galaxy within the North Galaxy.

The rulers of the Otherworld and the Living World are the four King Kai of the East, West, South, and North, and the Grand King Kai above them. Further subdivided are the Kami, whose influence extends to various planets. However, since not every planet has Kami, their authority is limited, and their Kami power only extends to their respective planetary system...

Roland listened to Whis's description of the Zeno Multiverse and nodded slightly.

Immortal, Kami, King Yemma, King Kai, and Grand King Kai —these are deities he already knew, possessing powers bestowed by the universe to maintain the operation of localized parts of the universe.

In addition, outside of the Otherworld and the Living World, spaces such as the Demon Realm and Purgatory, which are subordinate to the Universe 7, were originally under the jurisdiction of the gods. However, due to the sacrifice of the Grand Supreme Kai five million years ago, the succeeding East Supreme Kai failed to fulfill the duties of the Supreme Kai, causing these spaces to gradually become independent and break away from the jurisdiction of the gods.

After introducing the basic framework of the universe, Whis nodded and then focused on the Spirit God Realm.

"... The hierarchy among gods is strict and cannot be crossed. Apart from the Grand King Kai who rules over the four great Galaxy and can barely be called a cosmic god, Immortal, Kami, King Yemma, and King Kai are all just minor gods within their respective regions and are not worth mentioning."

"Cosmic deities possess the status and dimension bestowed upon them by the universe, and are able to exercise the authority granted to them by the universe. Therefore, cosmic deities are divided into five levels from bottom to top: ordinary deities (Grand King Kai), God of Destruction Candidate (Apprentice Supreme Kai), God of Destruction (Supreme Kai), Grand Priest, Zeno."

"The positions of the Grand Priest and the Zeno are unique; only one can exist in each world. Those two positions have already been filled: the High Grand Priest and the Zeno."

"Why aren't there Angel?" Roland asked in surprise.

After listening for so long, Angel like Whis and Marcarita, who are even more powerful than the God of Destruction, have not appeared.

Whis glanced at Roland and said calmly, "Angel are not within the scope of cosmic deities. As I just said, cosmic deities are the dimensions and status bestowed upon each universe and each deity by the Zeno Multiverse. We Angel have a different origin and are not subject to the rule of the universe."

"Within the universe, Angel serve as attendants and guides to the God of Destruction, aiming to maintain the universe's operation. Regardless of other matters, unless there's a crisis threatening the destruction of the universe, we can remain completely neutral without the God of Destruction's instructions."

At this point, Whis smiled smugly, his effeminate features becoming even more feminine.

Angel are positioned similarly to Mr. Popo on Earth, serving as both attendants and guides.

Even if the universe is destroyed and all living beings are wiped out, I can remain indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Roland understood. In fact, whether it's the Grand King Kai, the God of Destruction Candidate (Apprentice Supreme Kai), the God of Destruction (Supreme Kai), the Grand Priest, or the Zeno, these classifications have nothing to do with strength. They are merely symbols of realm and status, and can all be collectively referred to as "Dimensional God".

This mainly refers to the dimensions and positions within a deity's body.

For example, the Supreme Kai in the original work, although they have a high level of power and a lofty status, are actually quite weak in combat. The strongest Grand Supreme Kai South Supreme Kai are only at the level of Majin Buu, and they are not even as good as many mortals.

Since there are "Dimensional God" who are granted divine positions by the universe, there are naturally also powerful deities who cultivate themselves through their own efforts. These powerful beings are very rare and are collectively called "Realm God," possessing Dimensional God and extraordinary combat power.

In its complete form, the Super Saiyan God is a "Realm God" equivalent to God of Destruction Candidate.

"Godhood within the cosmic system requires the comprehension of a corresponding realm. Roland, the Autonomous Ultra Instinct Sign you have comprehended can be considered a realm, and one of the few realms that helps to enhance combat power."

"Generally speaking, those who reach the god- Spirit God Realm through self-cultivation are usually quite powerful. The Planet God-Killer is God Star specifically used to cultivate God of Destruction Candidate and God of Destruction, so most of the cultivators you encountered on the Planet God-Killer are on the path of 'Realm God'."

"Besides 'Dimensional God' and 'Realm God,' there are also some exceptionally talented individuals who possess combat power comparable to Realm God even in their mortal stage. If these individuals are properly trained, they also have a great chance of becoming gods. In the universe, these people are called 'Power God.'"

"In terms of combat strength, there is also a clear distinction between Realm God and Power God."

Whis paused briefly at this point, giving Roland enough time to process what he had said.

Roland was initially confused by the classification of various deities, but after a moment's thought, she understood.

Leaving aside the Dimensional God, those gods are basically pre-determined by the cosmic system, limited in number and fixed in position, mainly used to maintain the operation of the universe. Apart from those who serve as God of Destruction and Grand Priest, who possess superhuman combat power, gods such as Grand King Kai, Apprentice Supreme Kai, and Supreme Kai are more show than substance, and are even less powerful than mortals.

The Power God, as the name suggests, values strength above all else. Although he is called a god, he is actually a mortal who has just acquired a status equivalent to that of a god.

Characters like Goku, Vegeta, Broly from the original work possessed power at their peak comparable to God of Destruction, and could be considered equals to Supreme Kai and God of Destruction. However, they were still essentially mortals. The weakness of the Power God was also obvious: he had not escaped the basic attributes of life, and his lifespan and physiology remained at the mortal level.

Unless such a "god" is exceptionally lucky and receives the blessing of a "Dimensional God" position, they are merely a fleeting phenomenon in the vast universe, turning into dust and disappearing into the cosmos after a few hundred years.

In contrast, the Realm God possesses the advantages of both the Dimensional God and the Power God. Moreover, because it cultivates itself, it does not even need to abide by the rules of the universe, making it truly carefree and unrestrained.

Using the concept of mythology from a previous life as an analogy, Dimensional God are like gods who have been listed on the Investiture of the Gods and are subject to the constraints of the Heavenly Court, while Realm God are like Autonomous State and unrestrained immortals.
