In 3007, several human supreme beings and overlords infiltrated the Demon Realm, causing utter chaos. You know, this was retaliation for the incident at the Flowing Sky Pool seven years prior.
You received an invitation, but ultimately declined.
[You've earned enough battle merits. If you really don't want to encounter a false king again, your top priority now is to break through to the Supreme Realm.]
[By the way, Beichenguang has left.]
Just like seven years ago, the atmosphere in the various human-demon war zones was intense, and it remained fervent for a while.
But the holy war... has not yet broken out.
In 3010, there was no war among humans.
[You're not lacking in achievements, so choose to live off your past glory. Once you've exhausted your reserves, then we'll consider other things.]
[Four hundred million battle merits, plus other achievements... more than enough!]
[There's also the Vast Ocean's Rippling Waves, the Flowing Heavenly Pool, the Supreme Palace... With three layers of fortune bestowed upon you, you feel like you're advancing by leaps and bounds.]
To break through to the Supreme level, two elements are required.
The first point is the accumulation of spiritual, vital energy, and physical strength.
[During the accumulation process, your own strength cannot be improved, but it can increase the success rate of breakthroughs, and even the extent of the Holy Body's evolution after a breakthrough, and the strength of the supernatural powers you obtain!]
[This accumulation is not unlimited; due to differences in one's sacred body, martial will, and other factors, the upper limit of accumulation varies from person to person...]
[A normal Supreme Being reaches the peak of the Third Realm at 1500 years old. By accumulating battle merits and cultivating, they will have reached their maximum potential by around 2000 years old.]
Besides accumulated experience and knowledge, there's another, rather mysterious, element that can be described as a "flash of inspiration."
The so-called "flash of inspiration" could be more sophisticatedly described as "a single thought leading to enlightenment" or something else, but you just like to use this corny term.
To put it simply, it's about suddenly feeling that your time has come, and then you can immediately break through to the Supreme Realm.
[A flash of inspiration! It's the "breakthrough" activation button.]
"Accumulated knowledge and experience" and "a flash of inspiration" complement each other.
[With insufficient foundational knowledge, even if one suddenly senses an opportunity for breakthrough, it's best not to choose to break through immediately, otherwise there's a high probability of failure, turning one into a "half-step supreme being."]
Even if one accumulates a wealth of knowledge and experience, they may never encounter that "flash of inspiration" for a breakthrough, leading to an untimely death from old age, a truly frustrating experience.
Breaking through to the Supreme Realm requires only the two elements mentioned above, especially the second one, which seems simple but is actually extremely difficult. Countless potential Supreme Realm experts have been stuck at this step.
[This "flash of inspiration" was so incredibly misleading... let's put it this way: according to human statistics, a peak-level overlord without a holy body only happens once every 37,000 years on average!]
The probability of this happening each year is 1 in 37,000!
This has led to many peak-level powerhouses, despite not having sufficient foundational knowledge, being forced to break through due to a sudden flash of inspiration.
Even if you fail, you'll still be a semi-supreme being, with an increase in both strength and lifespan. But if you miss this opportunity, you might never encounter it again, and you'll be stuck at the peak of the overlord realm.
But what's reassuring is that the probability of a "flash of inspiration" can be increased.
[Luck, divine body, martial will, foundation, atmosphere, state of mind, experience... all can increase the odds!]
The probability of your sudden flash of inspiration occurring now far exceeds that of those with "supreme talent."
In terms of fortune, many "supreme talents" at the peak of their power are merely the second-in-command of a region, and a few are even the lords of a region, but those are all from weaker regions.
Their blessings are comparable to yours in terms of "vast ocean waves + flowing sky pool".
[But your name is etched in the Hall of Supreme Beings. A peak Overlord of less than two hundred, you slew the Barbarian King… the combined fortune from both is even greater than that of a newly ascended Supreme Being!]
For example, Qin Zhenhai.
[Your battle achievements now surpass his; this counts as one victory.]
[You killed more barbarian kings than he did, that's a second victory.]
[Your human race's fortune surpasses his; this is the third victory.]
He's inferior to you in every way!
[You applied the formula summarized by the human race and did a simple calculation.]
In your current mundane daily life, a "flash of inspiration" occurs approximately once every 4,900 years.
[If it's a life-or-death moment, and the emotions are intense, or it happens to align with the will of martial arts, the chance of triggering this event will increase to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of times!]
For example, Qin Zhenhai, who broke through back then.
However, the formula does not include "Instantaneous Return to True Form" or "Forty-Five Times the Essence," because these are both outside the known scope of the Azure Domain Human Race and are additional variables.
No one knows how high the level of the Instant Return to Truth Body is, nor does anyone know how powerful it is to have over forty times the essence.
[In 3013, you were bathing in Taiyi True Lake when you suddenly realized that you could break through to the Supreme Realm right now.]
【"No hurry, no rush."】
[You think to yourself that your foundation isn't fully developed yet. If you break through too quickly, your Holy Body won't strengthen much, and your supernatural abilities will be a mess, which wouldn't be good.]
[As for failing to break through due to insufficient foundation? You haven't even considered that!]
[With forty times the essence, even if one breaks through immediately upon reaching the peak of the third realm, without any foundation, success is inevitable!]
[However, the Holy Body and Supernatural Powers might not be as strong.]
[In 3017, you returned to the Yunyang Realm, preparing to use the unique "rich primordial energy" of the Hundred Races Battlefield to infuse Chu Heshang with a sacred body.]
[Yes, this abundant vital energy is what you brought back last year after you swept through the monsters in the third realm of the Hundred Races Battlefield.]
[Since you didn't find Chu Heshang in the lower realm, have Jinling Ore use it to kill him.]
"Huh, this kid's back in the war zone again? Has the dormant flame in his heart been rekindled?"
You found him in the Fourth Transvestite War Zone—the Endless Abyss—and immediately bestowed upon him the Holy Body.
But his Holy Sacrament was not the "Mountain of Fire" as before, but rather a "Spark."
"Okay, they're all fire-type."
[The Sacred Body of a Spark is slightly less valuable than the Sacred Body of the Mountain of Flames, but like Xu Ling'er's Sacred Heart of Love, it is Chu Heshang's exclusive sacred body!]
[Only at its peak can the Sacred Heart of Love possess nine times the mental strength, and it's difficult for a normal person to maintain around three times, so it's only equivalent to the Dual-Body Combat Body...]
[The same applies to the spark; one must possess the right mindset to rise from humble beginnings. It doesn't provide a combat power boost, only a chance to break through realms. The more compatible the mindset, the easier it is to break through realm barriers.]
[In 3019, you traveled extensively, returning periodically to gather resources, and while traveling, you transformed those martial arts resources into your foundation.]
Then you had another "bright idea."
Yun Shou: "..."
