Divinity might have been the most perfect and efficient form of energy in the world. It could function in any environment and was an utterly universal power source. So when the brain had squeezed the last trace of energy from Solam's body, Solam decisively burned the divinity within himself!
Demons were divine beings. That could be seen from the fact that they could accept the faith of followers on the material plane and grant power in return. In a sense, demons counted as incomplete gods. (Many demon lords had their own churches and priests on the material plane. Although demon priests received relatively few divine spells and could access relatively few domains, those truly were fields only gods could touch. Thus, there was nothing wrong with calling demons divine beings.)
Generally speaking, demons had always been miserly with their divinity. None of them wanted to expend it, because it was one of the foundations of their strength. Once they consumed divinity, they grew weaker. In fact, not only demons—any being possessing divinity, Victory included—placed immense importance on their own divinity.
But Solam was different. As a transmigrator, he regarded gods with greater objectivity and equality. His thinking resembled that of many Arcanists: gods were not such extraordinary beings; they were merely stronger beings. Yet unlike those great Arcanists who sought to study divinity, he did not think becoming a god was anything desirable.
Gods might be immortal, but Solam did not envy them. Solam had always believed that a person's life did not need to be long. As long as it was lived meaningfully, what did it matter even if one only had ten or twenty years to live?
Take Huo Qubing, for example. His life lasted only twenty-four short years, yet his glory shone through the ages. His life
