Chapter 429
The Elder President looked even older than before, his entire presence steeped in helplessness and dejection.
None of the high spirits he had shown after advancing to Sequence Two remained.
Lin Yi paused at those words, then frowned. "Elder President, do you mean that someone at Sequence One has to meet that so-called condition to attain godhood?"
"Yes."
The Elder President nodded. "Unfortunately... none of us meet that condition."
"What condition?"
Lin Yi knew about this as well, but he had never understood what that supposed condition actually was.
Now that he had a chance to find out from the Elder President, he was determined to get a clear answer.
The Elder President sighed softly and shook his head. "That condition is simple in a sense, but also incredibly difficult to fulfill. You need a mystery-type sequence!"
"To advance from Sequence One to Sequence Zero and finally ascend to divinity, you must possess a mystery-type sequence."
"But mystery-type sequences are far too rare. You could even say they exist only among a handful of people-perhaps fewer than a hundred, or even less."
"So the road to godhood has already been sealed off for us. No one can become a god in this era."
"Those deities high above us never gave us a chance to become gods. All of this is futile. At most, we can only become demigods."
As he finished speaking, the despair in his eyes grew even more apparent.
He even seemed to feel that the deity he worshipped had abandoned him.
The Elder President had sacrificed far too much in pursuit of godhood. He had even hoped to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Omniscient Truth he worshipped once he became a god.
But now?
He had discovered that attaining godhood was simply impossible.
