After losing his temporary divine power, Huo Yuhao felt his physical strength had increased significantly, yet he experienced a strange sensation.
He immediately entered his Spirit Sea and consulted Electrolux:
"Elder Electrolux, what has happened to me? My meridians are undamaged, but my soul power circulation feels unstable."
After probing Huo Yuhao's soul power and meridians, Electrolux responded with a solemn expression:
"Yuhao, before you reach the Title Douluo rank, you must never again use this power that resembles faith. Your soul power currently shows a tendency to convert into divine power prematurely."
"Your total soul power is not yet sufficient to achieve a qualitative change, but this temporary divine power has prematurely catalyzed a partial transformation."
"If it converts completely, your future divine power will be of extremely low quality unless it is compressed sufficiently."
Once Huo Yuhao understood his situation, he felt regret that such power could not be used repeatedly. At that moment, he noticed the Life Watch he had just comprehended and felt an urge to experiment with it.
However, Electrolux interrupted Huo Yuhao's actions once more.
"Yuhao, I must warn you: what you comprehended this time was not a momentum, but a Law."
"A Law?" Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned. According to the Death Phantom from before, wasn't this a power only gods could comprehend? He immediately listened carefully to Electrolux's explanation.
"That is correct. A god's body contains three types of energy—divine power, divine consciousness, and Laws—along with a divine body to carry these energies."
"In your world, to become a god, one must fulfill five conditions."
"The transformation of mental power into divine consciousness, soul power into divine power, the body into a divine body, the comprehension of any one Law, and finally, the connection of these elements through the power of faith."
"Simply put, a God Position is actually a god-level Soul Guidance Device, and its core is the power of the Law."
"After your divine consciousness and divine power are injected into the soul guidance core, they are released through the soul guidance shell formed by your body, and the part that connects the core to the shell is the power of faith."
"The reason your body was never affected by your divine consciousness before was that your consciousness and body lacked the power of faith to link them."
"Therefore, even though your mental power has long since far surpassed your soul power and physical strength, it did not cause damage to your body."
After pondering for a while, Huo Yuhao developed some thoughts on God Positions and summarized his understanding to Electrolux to verify its accuracy.
"So, according to your meaning, Elder, those so-called God Position inheritances are actually the original gods stripping away their own Laws and attaching them to the inheritor."
"And because the amplification strength of the Laws differs—that is, the grade of the Soul Guidance Device differs—it creates the hierarchy of Third-Class Gods, Second-Class Gods, First-Class Gods, and God Kings."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao understood quickly, Electrolux nodded with satisfaction.
"Yuhao, you are quite right. Because of this, there are two different cultivation methods after reaching the god level."
"One is to continue cultivating the Law. While strengthening the Law, you use its amplifying effect on divine power cultivation to increase your speed, enhancing your combat power while strengthening your divine power."
"The other is to cultivate divine power, relying on the power of the divine power itself to improve. Laws are limited by the upper limit of the current God Realm, but divine power is not."
Huo Yuhao roughly understood the cultivation system of the God Realm, but he had a different perspective on the methods Electrolux mentioned.
"But Elder, since improving a God Position increases the speed of divine power cultivation, the priority of improving cultivation efficiency should naturally be higher than direct cultivation."
"Another point is, since God Positions have the ability to improve cultivation results, why do so many gods choose to abandon their own positions?"
After hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Electrolux thought about how to explain it before speaking again:
"Yuhao, have you ever thought about what would happen if you injected Soul Emperor-level soul power into a fourth-class Soul Guidance Device?"
"Exactly, the device would break. A God Position and a Soul Guidance Device follow the same principle. When your divine power far exceeds the upper limit the God Position can carry, the position becomes a limitation instead."
"During battle, you have to try to avoid the amplification of the God Position, otherwise, there is a risk that it will shatter."
"Likewise, the core of a God Position remains the Law. Once your divine power exceeds the limit of the Law, you naturally can no longer receive the Law's amplification effect on your divine power."
After listening to Electrolux's explanation, Huo Yuhao understood the reason for God Position inheritances and why most gods hoped to shed their positions as soon as possible.
Just like the previous generation of the Sea God and the Asura God, their divine power levels had likely long exceeded the carrying capacity of their God Positions, reaching a point where it affected their own combat.
Finding someone to inherit a God Position was also no easy task; not everyone could inherit a Law of a certain intensity.
If the inheritor's talent was insufficient, not only would it be difficult to inherit the Law, but their body might not even be able to carry the power of the God Position.
Only those like the Destruction God King and the Tang God King, who were determined to remain bound to the God Realm, would hold onto their God Positions so tightly.
"Elder, my current physical strength is not enough to fully utilize my divine consciousness, which is why I must reduce my use of Laws."
"But at the same time, I must increase the strength of my Laws as much as possible, ideally to the current limit of the God Realm."
Electrolux smiled and nodded. "Yuhao, with your talent, comprehending a God King-level Law is not a problem. Do not be impatient; focus on your foundation."
"This time, we owe a lot to the Little Scorpion and the Little Snow Maiden. If they hadn't desperately helped you protect your meridians and body, your body would have long since been unable to withstand the impact."
Only then did Huo Yuhao notice that the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were sleeping soundly nearby; he and Electrolux had been talking for so long without waking them.
Looking at Tian Meng, who was also sleeping in the corner, Huo Yuhao bowed to all his Soul Spirits within his Spirit Sea.
"Thank you all for your help. One day, when I become a god, I will surely help each of you obtain a God Position."
Afterward, Huo Yuhao shifted his consciousness to the outside world, preparing to return to meet up with Elder Xuan and the others.
At this moment, Electrolux fell into deep thought once again.
"Where did that power that finally helped Yuhao come from? It actually perfected the half-formed Law in an instant."
"However, since Yuhao is not worried, there should be no major issue. With his divine consciousness, he would not have failed to notice an abnormality."
Having reasoned this out, Electrolux stopped dwelling on it. After the fierce battle with the Death Phantom, he was also extremely exhausted, so he entered his Second Sea of Consciousness to fall into a temporary slumber and recover his depleted divine consciousness.
