God-Tier Sequence
Having learned about the classification of cosmic deities, Roland gained a clear understanding of the various deities.
Whis calmly continued, "Because the various gods are of varying strengths, in accordance with a resolution passed at a meeting during the ancient Divine Calendar, the gods made a unified classification for all those who reached the god-level."
"Excluding Dimensional God, all god-level powerhouses are currently divided into seven Godly Sequence, ranging from the First-Level Sequence to the highest Seventh-Level Sequence."
"The God of Destruction's combat power ranks in the Level 4 Sequence, so he can be called Level 4 Sequence god. Roland, in terms of combat power alone, you could be ranked in the First-Level Sequence, but because you haven't comprehended the realm of gods, you still belong to the Power God."
As he spoke, Whis looked at Roland with some anticipation.
Currently, he is the most promising person in Universe 7 to become Realm God.
Besides the average strength of the universe as a whole, the number of god-level beings in the universe is also an important indicator of the strength of a universe.
The God of God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai can cooperate to eliminate inferior races in the universe to improve the universe's overall evaluation, but increasing the number of god-level powerhouses is not so easy. In addition, the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai of Universe 7 are not very reliable, which is also a headache for Whis.
Fortunately, the appearance of Roland and his group gave him some hope for improvement.
Dimensional God, Fifth Level.
Realm God, Level Seven.
Power God, Level 7.
"It seems I must comprehend the Spirit God Realm as soon as possible!"
Roland grinned after hearing this. There were so many levels after the Godly Sequence, which immediately ignited his fighting spirit.
He certainly didn't aspire to be Power God; he wanted to achieve the state of a carefree and Autonomous State Realm God.
Whis laughed, "The Spirit God Realm isn't so easy to comprehend. If you work hard on your power and reach the Third-Level Sequence, you can choose to inherit the position of the God of Destruction Candidate. Currently, there's no one in Universe 7 who can compete with you. As long as Lord Beerus agrees, you can be granted the position of God of Destruction Candidate on the spot."
Roland shook his head, deciding against it; he politely declined both the position of the God of Destruction Candidate and the role of the God of Destruction.
In his view, it was utterly ridiculous that the life of a powerful being like the God of God of Destruction had to be linked with that of a weakling like the Supreme Kai. While it might put a shackle on the unruly God of Destruction, it would only lead to a life of utter helplessness.
"Was the ancient high-ranking deity 'Oleg' who fell on the Planet Sadala a Level 4 Sequence deity?"
Roland had a sudden inspiration and asked.
Whis nodded, not hiding anything, "Yes, and he was a very high-ranking deity in the Level 4 Sequence. He was an ancient God of Destruction, and I heard he was very famous among the many God of Destruction. It's just a pity that he fell on the battlefield. At that time, I was still training as Angel, so I didn't participate."
"Due to the influence of 'Oleg's' blood, the Saiyan in our universe possess more Great Ape power than the Saiyan of Universe 6."
"So, the power of the Great Ape doesn't conflict with the power of realm?"
Roland's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered another path based on his current level of cultivation.
"It's a power that belongs to our system, so of course there won't be any conflict. Hmm, if you can tap into this Great Ape power and reach the ancestral stage, you might be able to reach the Level 4 Sequence faster." Whis stroked his chin, not entirely certain.
No conflict!
Super Saiyan 4, feasible!
Hearing Whis's words, Roland felt reassured and immediately had a general outline of her future cultivation.
That is, combining the power of Super Saiyan God with the physical strength of Super Saiyan 4, achieving a comprehensive breakthrough. The level of Super Saiyan God combined with the body of Super Ape Saiyan, how powerful would that be? Oh right, there's also the power of the Red Shenron and Blue Shenron within him, those two Shenron have an enhancing effect on both the body and the spirit.
Now the two Shenron have merged into Silver-Gray Shenron, and the effect is even more pronounced.
"My God, all these good things have come together. It seems even the heavens are pushing him to cultivate both divine body and realm," Roland thought excitedly.
"By the way, what about the strength of you Angel?"
"The Fifth-Level Sequence!"
Whis looked smug.
Angel are blessed with extraordinary abilities. Even the weakest Angel possess divine power upon birth and can become Apprentice Angel with a little training. The weakest official Angel, on the other hand, are all at the Fifth-Level Sequence.
Seeing Whis's smug look, Roland's lips twitched. Indeed, he couldn't compare!
"Whis, what realm comes after the Ultra Instinct Sign?"
"After the Ultra Instinct Sign comes the Ultimate State, also known as the 'Autonomous Ultra Instinct,' which is a further deepening of the Ultra Instinct Sign. After the Ultimate State, there is another realm, the Concept State of Concept State. Reaching the Realm of Intent means that the 'Ultra Instinct' has been successfully cultivated. However, comprehending these two realms is much more difficult than comprehending the Ultra Instinct Sign. Many Level 4 Sequence God of Destruction have not been able to master them well," Whis said earnestly.
"Have all the Angel mastered Ultra Instinct?"
Roland immediately asked.
"Of course, it's fundamental, and every Angel should master it. Look at my hair; it's a sign of Ultra Instinct."
Pointing to his silver-gray hair, Whis lifted his Staff of the Gods and gently traced a line on the water's surface, creating ripples that spread outwards.
"Now I'll tell you about the cultivation of 'Ultimate State' and 'Concept State.' If you can comprehend one of them before the Level 4 Sequence, that will already be remarkable." The Ultra Instinct is generally only comprehended when one reaches the level of God of Destruction. Whis's expectation for Roland is that he comprehends "Ultimate State" at the Third-Level Sequence.
Upon hearing that Whis was going to instruct him on how to cultivate the Ultra Instinct, Roland immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.
The cultivation of Ultra Instinct is increasingly difficult with each step. Whis explained it very carefully, and Roland listened very attentively, but in the end, it was as if he had only grasped the general idea and had not been able to comprehend its wonders at all.
"... This is a rather profound realm, requiring the power of Realm God as a foundation. It's normal that you don't understand it now. Take your time to consider it, think about it slowly, and gradually improve it in your daily life. One day you will comprehend it, although it will be a very long time... Alright, go and cultivate on your own from now on!"
Carrying his Staff of the Gods, he slowly walked away, leaving Roland alone in the God Realm, lost in thought.
Roland sat quietly for a long time, feeling that he had gained some insight, but he couldn't quite grasp it. He scratched his head and hesitated, feeling extremely restless.
Roland let out a long sigh, stood up, and shook his head. Whis was right; it was somewhat difficult to comprehend the "Ultimate State" now.
That's how spiritual practice works; without a solid foundation, no amount of arduous practice will be of any use.
"Now that I've encountered obstacles in comprehending the Spirit God Realm and am making no progress in cultivating the Ultimate State, why not try a different approach and start from another angle?" With this thought in mind, Roland took a deep breath, his energy surged, and golden light suddenly shone brightly, instantly transforming him into Super Saiyan.
This is one of the rare instances where he transformed into Super Saiyan after achieving Perfect Base Form.
The vast world immediately rumbled, and a powerful energy pressure came down, causing the green lake water next to it to stir up waves.
"How can we unlock the power of the Ape-Form Saiyan and become Super Saiyan 4 like in GT?"
He immediately shook his head. The method to become Super Saiyan 4 in GT was to maintain one's sanity while in Great Ape Transformation form, then transform back into human form and use the Great Ape's power in normal state. However, he had already achieved this transformation method a long time ago—that is, Mimic Ape Transformation —and it didn't have the effect he had imagined.
Mimic Ape Transformation, with Golden Eyes.
Which is better for unlocking the Great Ape power within one's Bloodline: Super Saiyan Super Power or Broly's Full Energy state (green hair)?
After much thought, Roland still didn't know how to proceed.
With a flash, he returned to the Planet God-Killer. He had promised Sephiria he would help her cultivate, and in the meantime, he could improve his understanding of power and perhaps find a way to break through.
