Chapter 315: The First Lesson

At this moment, Jiu Han looked at Lu Ming with a burning gaze, as if he was gazing at some rare treasure.

His gaze held no malice, but the intense emotions it carried made Lu Ming’s scalp tingle involuntarily!

Unable to contain his curiosity, Lu Ming asked, “Teacher, is the ability to absorb the Divine Source very important to you?”

“No…” Jiu Han shook his head and said, “It’s not that it’s very important to me… but it’s very important for any divine being!”

“If this ability of yours is made public, I believe that every divine being would see you as the most unique existence in the world. Whether they choose to eliminate you or protect you will depend on the stance of those divine beings.”

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

Although he did not fully understand the implications of this, he could tell from Jiu Han’s words that the Divine Spirit Realm experts seemed to need such ability like his, to absorb the Divine Source….

After some thought, Lu Ming said, “Then Teacher, you…”

“The latter,” Jiu Han smiled and gently patted Lu Ming’s head. “You can rest a.s.sured that, regardless of my personal stance or my position as your teacher, I will choose the latter, to protect you.”

Jiu Han’s words seemed to have a faint magic power. Coupled with his sincere gaze and kind demeanor, that inexplicably calmed Lu Ming’s heart.

“Thank you, Master.”

“There’s no need to thank me… On the contrary, I should probably thank you…”

This stunned Lu Ming slightly. Then, Jiu Han pondered and said,

“I didn’t discover anything just now.”

“I couldn’t determine where the Divine Source you absorbed entered your body or how it existed within you. The Divine Source that entered your body seemed to have mysteriously disappeared… Do you have any thoughts about this?”

Lu Ming shook his head, “I don’t know.”

The Divine Source had been completely absorbed by the system—but Lu Ming certainly would not reveal that.

Jiu Han did not press further. He thought for a moment and said, “If you ever experience any discomfort in your body, you must inform me promptly.”

“Divine Source involves a lot of things, and there are aspects of it that I would prefer not to expose you to…”

Perhaps he felt that his words were somewhat ambiguous.

A moment later, Jiu Han sighed deeply.

“Forget it, let’s start from the beginning.”

“Let’s begin our first lesson.”

“And the content of this lesson is related to your own pursuit.”

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up, “Achieving G.o.dhood with a mortal body?”

Perhaps these words touched Jiu Han. He thought for a moment and nodded with a smile, “Yes, our first lesson is about how to achieve G.o.dhood with a mortal body.”

“However, before we start this lesson, I believe it’s necessary to explain to you what a divine being is and what the Divine Source is.”

A desk appeared automatically next to Lu Ming, and he sat behind the desk like a diligent student, while Jiu Han walked to the podium with the teaching stick.

He spoke.

“The Black Mist Zone, a world created by the Supreme G.o.d.”

“The most widely circulated supernatural system in the Black Mist Zone is the Source Power Supernatural System.”

“It goes without saying that the Source Power Supernatural System was also created by the Supreme G.o.d… or rather, it was brought here by Him.”

“Therefore, it can also be understood that the entire Black Mist Zone is the divine kingdom of the supreme G.o.d or the backyard.”

“Below the Divine Spirit beings are the flowers and plants in this garden. The Divine Spirit beings are like the gardeners in the backyard of the Supreme G.o.d.”

Jiu Han’s words stunned Lu Ming.

“Backyard? Gardener?”

Putting aside whether this a.n.a.logy was appropriate or not, it did give Lu Ming a strange feeling.

Jiu Han continued, “You can verify whether it’s right or wrong in the future. My opinion might not be correct. In short, even if it’s Teacher’s words, it’s best if you only use it as a reference and not believe it completely.”

Lu Ming nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, he heard Jiu Han say, “However, we’ll use my point of view for today’s lesson for the time being. What do you think?”

Lu Ming naturally had no objections.

Jiu Han continued, “This is the difference between those below the Divine Spirit Realm and those in the Divine Spirit Realm. Those who are not in the Divine Spirit Realm are the flowers and plants, and those in the Divine Spirit Realm are gardeners. Gardeners tend to the plants and flowers, pruning them, and the plants and flowers are powerless in the face of the gardeners’ care, pruning, and even inadvertent trampling.”

“Can you understand the main difference between a gardener and the plants and flowers?”

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, “One can move? The other can’t move?”

Jiu Han smiled and nodded.

“Exactly, one can move, and the other can’t…”

“But the real difference lies in the Authority.”

“The Supreme G.o.d gave the original flowers and plants authority, transforming them into gardeners. Only then did they have the power and ability to move.”

“And the specific manifestation of this authority is the Divine Source!”

Having said this, Jiu Han held the teaching stick and turned to look at the blackboard.

Using the teaching stick as a pointer, he drew a question mark at the top of the blackboard.

“This represents the Supreme G.o.d.”

Then, he drew a row of evenly s.p.a.ced dots below.

“These are all the intelligent species that entered the Black Mist Zone.”

Then, Jiu Han gently shook his finger, causing one of the dots to move upwards, below the question mark and above the other dots.

“These are the ones who pa.s.sed the Heaven Ascension Stairs Trial, recognized by the Supreme G.o.d. They transformed into divine beings, becoming the gardeners, elevated above the rest.”

With that said, Jiu Han turned to look at Lu Ming and asked, “Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Lu Ming nodded, “I understand.”

This was because the logic behind all of this was very easy to understand.

Staring into Lu Ming’s eyes for a long time, Jiu Han then shook his head, “No, you don’t understand…”

Lu Ming:”???”

“The problem doesn’t lie with these dots; the problem lies with the question mark at the top… but let’s forget about these things for now. You don’t need to know too much about them at the moment. The more you know, the more it could potentially harm you.”

“Let’s go back to the initial question.”

“It’s about how to stand shoulder to shoulder with a mortal and even defeat a G.o.d.”

Jiu Han quickly changed the topic, saying, “Building on the Gardener and Plants theory, there are only two ways for plants to defeat the gardener.”

“First, become a gardener, acquire the authority to act given by the Supreme G.o.d! In this case, it’s like two gardeners fighting, and the outcome depends on the physique of the gardeners.”

“Second, undergo a mutation! Shed the harmless nature of plants and transform into carnivorous plants that can kill and even eat humans!”

“But the issue is that some of the gardeners will eliminate these harmful plants that pose a threat to themselves… This is why I say the second path is fundamentally too difficult.”

Mutations were uncontrollable and required too many coincidences and opportunities.

Moreover, the gardener could intervene at any time and disrupt the process of mutation.

“Ent.i.ties that choose the second path are called mutants in the world… Of course, mutants are not a good term.”

“However, there’s also a small problem now… the Subversives. The Subversives have gathered a large number of mutants, significantly improving the situation for mutants compared to before..”
