He laughed wildly for a while Du Busi could barely suppress his overwhelming excitement, but the ecstasy on his face and the gleam in his eyes remained tangible.
He patted Toji's back forcefully, his voice as loud as a bell:
"According to the requirements for becoming a god, you will become the strongest on the continent. With your current foundation, and after some further refinement, plus the full support of the Body Sect, this position will be yours sooner or later."
"As for Self-Created Godhood..." Du Busi's eyes gleamed with a mixture of wisdom and fanaticism, "Although the road ahead is fraught with difficulties, unprecedented in its kind, even the God King has acknowledged your path, so what is there to fear?"
"Damn it! The Body Sect is your backer! What resources do you need? What kind of training do you need? Just say the word! I'll risk my Elder Zhang and my life to send you to the Divine Realm!"
He looked at Toji with an unprecedented solemnity, even carrying a hint of awe that he himself was unaware of:
"However, I have not walked the path to Godhood, so I cannot offer you much assistance."
Du Busi rubbed his temples hard with his rough fingers.
"Even those legendary ancestors in the sect's secret manuals, who boasted about their achievements, didn't leave behind a single word of experience. This Self-Created Godhood... hey, it sounds damn weird."
He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Toji, filled with deep trust:
"I can't give you ready-made answers about the road ahead, what pitfalls you'll encounter, or what perilous situations you'll face. Neither can the sect. You'll have to find your own way."
Toji met the teacher's gaze without the slightest hesitation or fear; instead, he grinned, revealing a smile.
"Isn't this exactly what I want? What's the point of chewing on the paths others have walked and the footprints they've left behind? What I want is to carve out my own path, with every punch and kick I get."
"Hahaha, good, that's the spirit we should have!" Du Busi slapped his thigh hard, the last bit of heaviness in his body instantly dispelled by Toji's heroic spirit. "If others can't give you a path, then forge it yourself. That's the true essence of the Body Sect."
He abruptly stood up, his imposing figure casting a huge shadow in the quiet room, his eyes regaining their sharp, hawk-like gaze.
"Although I don't understand how to create that damn divine Godhood, teaching you to hone this body and push you to the strongest position on the continent is my old profession."
Du Busi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he began to plan:
"First of all, a surge in power is a good thing, but if you can't control it, it will be a disaster. Starting tomorrow, I will personally be your sparring partner. We won't use Soul Skill, just the purest physical strength. Only when you can control this surge in power at will, as if it were an extension of your own arm, will you pass the test."
"Secondly," he paused, then said sternly, "It's not enough to just stay behind closed doors in the sect. You need to experience real life-or-death battles. Whether it's the Sun Moon Empire's war... or the Holy Spirit Cult, they are all excellent whetstones! Once your foundation is solid, I will personally take you to visit them, and use their blood and bones to sharpen your divine body."
"As for resources..." Du Busi waved his hand, exuding an air of domineering arrogance, "Anything in the sect's treasury that you fancy, take it! As long as it benefits your physique, we'll sell our pots and pans to get it for you!"
"To cultivate a god, I'd turn the Body Sect upside down, it's worth it!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see Toji's heroic figure, crushing the mainland and trampling powerful enemies.
Finally, he stopped talking, walked up to Toji, and placed his large, fan-like hands heavily on Toji's shoulders.
The force was as heavy as a mountain, carrying a weighty sense of entrustment.
"Boy," Du Busi's voice deepened, staring directly into Toji's eyes, "I don't understand how the nascent form of Godhood is condensed. But I know that it's definitely inextricably linked to the path you've walked, the fights you've fought, the blood you've shed, and that defiant spirit in your bones."
"Forget about divine pronouncements and those illusory Godhood positions. Just remember one thing: use your fists to conquer the entire Douluo Continent, smash everything that stands in your way, and use your will to etch the path you've walked into the laws of heaven and earth."
"When you stand at the pinnacle of this continent, when your every move resonates with the heavens and earth... your unique Godhood will naturally be born beneath your feet."
Du Busi's words contained no profound theories, only the most basic combat philosophy and his trust in his disciples.
He doesn't understand the divine way, but he understands Toji.
He firmly believes that Toji's path is to crush all obstacles with strength and to inscribe his own existence with willpower.
Toji feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders, and the unwavering trust that Du Busi, made the flames ignited in his heart by the Destruction God King burn even more fiercely.
He doesn't need complicated instructions; he only needs to fight.
All you need to do is become stronger, all you need to do is reach that unparalleled peak!
"Understood." Toji said decisively, "Let's let our fists do the talking, let our strength pave the way! A nascent Godhood position? It will come naturally once I've conquered this continent."
"Oh, the girls who have been waiting outside are coming in."
Du Busi seemed to sense something, and then laughed:
"I'll be going now. Today is truly a joyous occasion. You two chat."
Du Busi Si left than Di Qiu'er, along with the Ice and Snow Empresses and Zhang Lexuan, rushed over.
"What... just happened?!"
Di Qiu'er's voice was filled with unprecedented horror and trembling.
As Emperor Auspicious Beast, she was most sensitive to the Life force of higher levels. The Destruction and supreme laws contained in this pressure made her soul tremble.
Meanwhile, the Snow Empress, whose flawless face seemed sculpted from millennia-old ice crystals, showed a dramatic change for the first time.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Lexuan looked Toji up and down anxiously, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was unharmed.
"Please don't get agitated..." Toji quickly raised her hand to stop them, and then hurriedly explained the situation to them.
"What?! Become a god?!"
The four women gasped in shock at the same time.
This news struck the four women like a thunderbolt, creating a massive upheaval in their hearts!
"Becoming... becoming a god... that was a summons from the Divine Realm..." Di Qiu'er murmured to herself. She knew better than anyone what becoming a god meant.
That is a realm that truly transcends the mundane and is eternally immortal.
Toji receiving the personal approval of the God King was beyond expectations.
Ice Empress's voice trembled with excitement. "Hahaha, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! It was worth it! Investing in you was absolutely worth it! Now we're completely in control!"
She was as excited as a child; her previous shock and anger had long been replaced by immense joy.
