Opportunity in Wuqilou

Inside the silver-gray palace, next to the majestic Wuqilou in God King Valley.

On the four thrones in the grand hall sat the four leaders, all gazing at the suspended light screen, which displayed everything happening inside Wuqilou.

“Haha, he passed the third floor with such ease.”

“From what I see, this warrior Yinhe is so relaxed, his will must have reached the Void True God level. A Law Master... with a will reaching the Void True God level, this warrior Yinhe is truly remarkable,” a voice of praise echoed from within the black mist.

The silver-armored female leader added, “Look at him using the blade technique of the Golden Claw God... its sophistication is at least at the Beginner Tier True God level.”

“This warrior, his movement technique, blade technique, will... everything is absolutely top-tier! He’s the strongest I’ve seen since becoming a leader.” The burly leader watched the light screen with a solemn expression. “I just wonder if he can reach the summit of Wuqilou! If he can, then we won’t have failed His Majesty the God King’s expectations.”

The other three leaders remained silent.

His Majesty the God King’s expectations?

They all looked at the light screen, which showed the scene of Wuqilou’s fourth floor.

“The fourth floor is for rewards. I wonder what reward warrior Yinhe will choose.”

Wuqilou’s fourth floor.

The fifteen surviving warriors were all filled with anticipation, because, as Wuqilou had previously informed them... only the first three floors of Wuqilou posed a death risk. From the fourth floor onwards, there were only rewards.

“Rewards in Wuqilou?”

“What kind of benefits could they be!”

Each warrior’s heart was filled with longing.

Space-time vibrated.

The fifteen warriors were teleported to the fourth floor, and Luo Feng and the others looked around.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked around. Passageways extended in every direction, and on the walls of each passage were numerous trees, corpses, and other objects, as if countless living and dead things were sealed within the walls.

“A maze?” Luo Feng mused. “There’s a passage in front, behind, to my left, and to my right!”

The fifteen warriors hesitated, looking around, none daring to act rashly, all waiting for Wuqilou’s guidance.

Streaks of light appeared around them, enveloping each warrior.

“Surviving warriors, you are fortunate, for... you have reached the fourth floor of Wuqilou. From this floor onwards, you face no more danger. All warriors are forbidden from fighting each other. Any violation... will result in immediate execution!” Just this opening statement made the other warriors breathe a sigh of relief.

They glanced at Luo Feng, no longer as reserved and cautious as before.

“The fourth floor of Wuqilou holds numerous rewards.”

“Around you are four passages, each representing a different reward.”

“The passage faintly glowing with white light is the Treasure Passage. Upon entering, you can obtain various treasures, such as mechanical-type weapons, or items that restore divine bodies, and so on.”

“The passage faintly glowing with golden light is the Inheritance Passage, containing special secret techniques. If you’re lucky, you might obtain some extremely powerful secret techniques.”

“The passage faintly glowing with purple light is the Path to True Godhood. It will guide you on how to break through and become a True God. This is the Law Path to True Godhood.”

“The passage glowing with black light is also the Path to True Godhood, but it’s the Divine Power Path. Starting from divine power, one becomes a True God. It’s far more powerful, but also a hundred or even a thousand times more difficult.”

“You can only choose one of the four passages!”

“Your gains from this passage will determine whether you can enter the fifth floor of Wuqilou.”

“Choose, fortunate warriors.”

The ancient voice faded.

Luo Feng and the others all looked around at the four passages, realizing they represented different rewards.

“The secret techniques contained within Wuqilou must be extraordinary. With special secret techniques, I can exert greater strength among those of the same level.” A black skeletal great serpent beast immediately swam into the golden-glowing passage.

“I’ve been stuck as a Law Master for too long; I must become a True God. The Divine Power Path is too difficult; even if I tried, I’d probably fail.” Another short, stout tribal warrior directly entered the purple-glowing passage.

One by one, the warriors made their choices.

Some believed that guidance to become a True God was already available in the army, so they chose secret techniques or treasures.

Others, wanting to become True Gods sooner, naturally chose the Path to True Godhood.

However...

Among the fifteen warriors, although eight chose the Path to True Godhood, six of them opted for the Law Path. After all, they all knew... the Law Path was the most common, most widespread, and least difficult, while the Divine Power Path was far more challenging. Since they hadn’t even succeeded on the Law Path, they naturally didn’t dare to aim too high.

After all, these passages merely offered guidance; they didn’t guarantee success.

“Divine Power Path? I’d like to see what special guidance His Majesty the God King of Jinzhi World has on the Divine Power Path.” Luo Feng, without hesitation, directly chose the ‘Divine Power Path’ to True Godhood.

“Treasures? My gains this time have already been immense. Luo Feng didn’t believe that merely passing three floors would grant him incredibly powerful treasures.”

“Secret techniques? He already possessed many powerful secret techniques from the Duan Dong River lineage.”

“Law Path? He had long since abandoned it.”

“Only the Path to True Godhood!”

“After all, this was left by His Majesty the God King; perhaps it would offer him some insight.”

The four leaders of God King Valley watched the light screen as Luo Feng and another warrior, one after another, entered the black-glowing Path to True Godhood, all sighing with emotion.

“A good choice.”

“On Wuqilou’s fourth floor, the truly precious one is only this Divine Power Path passage. This is where His Majesty the God King’s true efforts lie.”

“This warrior Yinhe chose well.”

The leaders exclaimed.

Ordinary army powerhouses might not know, but as leaders of God King Valley, entrusted with guarding Wuqilou and other such places, they naturally understood.

In truth...

The peerless individuals His Majesty the God King sought were best if they became True Gods via the Divine Power Path.

After all, besides title missions, there was another way to receive an enfeoffment: by fulfilling two conditions—1) following the Divine Power Path and achieving a life gene level of 90,000 times, and 2) solving all 10,081 basic Rhinoceros Emperor Game setups. This would immediately grant an enfeoffment and the title of Wuqishen! From these requirements, it was clear that the peerless individuals His Majesty the God King desired were best if they advanced via the Divine Power Path.

Therefore...

When Wuqilou was originally built, among the four passages on the fourth floor, only the ‘Divine Power Path’ to True Godhood was where His Majesty the God King had poured his heart and soul into leaving guidance to help future generations.

Luo Feng walked along the corridor. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, numerous corpses or objects were sealed, like specimens.

“Guidance for the Divine Power Path?”

“Where is it?”

Luo Feng searched carefully. Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he stared at a nearby wall. He was shocked to discover... that the seemingly simple specimens of countless corpses and objects, when combined, formed an incredibly complex pattern. Moreover, these corpse specimens, with their protrusions and indentations, created a three-dimensional secret pattern diagram!

This three-dimensional secret pattern diagram...

Upon seeing it, a colossal wave surged in Luo Feng’s heart!

Other powerhouses might not know, but how could he not? He had relied on the boundless Youhai to repeatedly research life structures using the innate secret technique ‘Creation,’ and had even enabled his divine body to break through the perfect limit bottleneck.

“This, this is the most detailed life structure of a perfect life form.” Luo Feng was deeply shaken.

With a single glance, Luo Feng quickly memorized it.

If one didn’t understand, no matter how much they looked, they wouldn’t remember. But Luo Feng already had achievements in this area; his research had already surpassed this ‘three-dimensional life diagram.’

“To the left!”

Luo Feng then turned to look at the other side, where billions of specimens combined to form another three-dimensional diagram of a perfect life form.

“The previous one must have been a flesh-and-blood life form, and this one should be a plant-based life form.” Luo Feng quickly noted it down and continued forward.

He continued onward.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, countless specimens formed various three-dimensional life diagrams, all of them perfect life forms! Even among perfect life forms, there were differences. Even the ‘perfect gene structure’ of flesh-and-blood life forms could be categorized into hundreds or thousands of types.

“Too incredible.”

“So detailed.”

Luo Feng marveled, continuously moving forward.

In just a moment, he reached the end. At the end of the passage was a door, and on the door was an incomplete three-dimensional life diagram.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng smiled upon seeing it. “A flesh-and-blood life form?”

With a pointing finger, divine power poured in, quickly completing the incomplete three-dimensional life diagram, forming a perfect life diagram. For Luo Feng, the perfect life level... he had researched it countless times before. If it were an energy-based life form, it might take him a considerable amount of time, but for a flesh-and-blood life form, he was full of confidence and completed it instantly!

Boom!

The wooden door at the end of the passage instantly emitted a green light, enveloping Luo Feng.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng vanished from before the door.

“He went in.”

“What, he’s already entered the next section of the Divine Power Path to True Godhood in such a short time?”

“Certainly, his divine body must have already broken through the perfect gene level, and he’s indeed on the Divine Power Path. But this warrior Yinhe... is full of ambition. He’s not content with merely becoming a True God. He wants his life gene to reach an even higher level!” The burly leader roared, and the other leaders were also shocked and excited.

“I wonder how much he’ll gain.”

The four leaders grew anxious with anticipation.

Even they couldn’t observe the deeper parts of this ‘Divine Power Path’ to True Godhood. Wuqilou contained significant secrets; although the four leaders could monitor it, they could only monitor certain areas. For instance, in special areas like the eighth and ninth floors... the four leaders couldn’t detect even a trace.

Similarly, they couldn’t probe the depths of the ‘Divine Power Path’ to True Godhood on the fourth floor.

Because...

“That is a great secret!”

Becoming a True God via the Divine Power Path was inherently difficult. The analysis of life... was even more top-secret! For example, Luo Feng, with the innate secret technique ‘Creation’ bestowed by the Original Universe, could only vaguely probe some powerful life forms. As for the drop of divine blood forced out by the God-Slaying Wing, it was completely undetectable.

Even True Gods, Void True Gods, and Eternal True Gods couldn’t truly analyze every life structure.

The preciousness of such a series of endlessly detailed three-dimensional life diagrams was self-evident.

Of course...

Only by comprehending and understanding could one remember.

If one didn’t understand, no matter how much they looked, they wouldn’t remember, and it would be useless. So, this set of life diagrams was merely an aid... but this aid was absolutely something that the major powers of ancient civilizations would never transmit externally; not even the Duan Dong River lineage could produce it.
