“The Sovereign level is different from all previous realms. The previous five realms are divided into nine levels, but the Sovereign level is simple, with only three.”

“You should have heard that reaching the Sovereign level means having the potential to become a god, but that’s only for the second stage of the Sovereign level.”

“The first stage is called the Divine Fire Sovereign level. As the name suggests, as long as you successfully ignite the divine fire, you can step into the second stage. Only then can you truly be said to have the potential to become a god.”

“The second stage is the God’s Path Sovereign level. After igniting the divine fire, the God’s Path will also appear. As long as you officially step onto the God’s Path, you will have entered the third stage.”

“After reaching the third stage, the God Ascension Sovereign level, you can walk the entire God’s Path, shape your divine body, and achieve godhood, becoming invincible.”

“Generally speaking, all races have the most first-stage Sovereign levels. Relatively speaking, as long as you step into the second stage, reaching the third stage is not difficult.”

Speaking of this, the Undead Lord, a mass of black shadow, seemed to become melancholy. The appearance of this image meant that he had failed to ascend to godhood.

He didn’t know what level he had reached at that time, but he thought it should be the third stage, the Peak Sovereign level. As long as he didn’t encounter a god, he was basically invincible.

“Next, I’m going to talk about the classification of gods. Listen carefully. This information is very important. It’s something I learned by chance and combined with my own understanding and deduction.”

“First of all, gods are not just one level, or two, as you think. The difference between them is not just the difference between pseudo-gods and true gods.”

“When you reach the Sovereign level, you have to choose your path to godhood. Although it’s easiest to become a pseudo-god, you can’t jump out of this world.”

“Pseudo-gods, as I told you before, can ascend to godhood as long as they are recognized by the will of the world. Relatively, ascending to pseudo-godhood requires the power of faith. The more power of faith, the stronger the divine power, and vice versa.”

“But whether it’s the pseudo-god himself or the people who provide him with the power of faith, they are all recognized by the World’s Heart, so he can’t jump out of this scope. Even if he does, without the power of faith, the pseudo-god’s divine power will gradually disappear, and he will become no different from a peak Sovereign level.”

Alex was stunned. So only gods who rely on the power of faith to ascend are called pseudo-gods. What about those who rely on Godheads?

No wonder the Angel race relied so much on the power of faith. It turned out that this was the only way for them to become gods.

The races that provided the power of faith to pseudo-gods were undoubtedly loyal followers of angels, which was equivalent to standing on the side of the World’s Heart.

“Above pseudo-gods are true gods, only gods who have reached this level can be considered true gods.”

“The biggest difference between the two is that true gods don’t need to rely on the power of faith at all, which means that they can jump out of the control of the World’s Heart and leave this world.”

To be able to become a god without external forces, indeed, this is a true god.

“Speaking of this, I want to give you a piece of advice. It’s best not to use the power of faith in the Undead Empire, otherwise it will become a burden on your path to godhood. I suffered this loss and stayed at the second stage of the Sovereign level for a long time.”

“But the power of faith is a good thing. Although you can’t absorb it yourself, you can’t waste it either. You can give it to the Race Kings to absorb. Their upper limit is Divine, but in fact they can only reach pseudo-godhood at most. The power of faith is what they need. If they can achieve pseudo-godhood, it will be of great help to you in the future.”

Sure enough, the Divine upper limit of the Race Kings was different from Alex’s. Her upper limit was obviously higher!

Just now, Alex was still thinking about how to use the power of faith, and the Undead Lord’s suggestion enlightened her.

Although the previous Undead Lord had no legacy to leave to Alex, the wisdom and information he possessed were already very valuable.

“Finally, I want to talk about the highest level of godhood, which is also the most difficult. Speaking of this, have you noticed that your realm is like a world?”

“As long as you continue to improve and strengthen your realm, you can gradually turn it into the prototype of a small world, and you will be the master of this world. However, this method requires you to constantly strengthen your realm from the King level, and you also need to master multiple rules and integrate them to improve it.”

“And the godhood achieved in this way is called the God of Creation!”

“I only discovered this way of becoming a god when I was at the Sovereign level. It was too late, so I deliberately left this image to tell you.”

“But you are at the Emperor level now. Although you missed the optimal period, it’s still recoverable. The advantage of being human is that you can practice magic, and the forbidden spell level of each type of magic represents a rule. That’s why I learned all kinds of magic.”

The words of the previous Undead Lord could be said to be top secret. Above the two ways of becoming a god, there was actually a stronger path to godhood.

The information provided by the previous Undead Lord was too vast, giving Alex a clear understanding of this world and herself.

The ability mastered at the Emperor level was the power of rules, which was also the highest power that could be accessed in this world.

What she had to do now was to fuse the two realms, advance to the Emperor level, comprehend all the forbidden spell magic, integrate the power of rules she had comprehended into it, and construct the prototype of a small world.

The Undead Lord directly pointed out the way forward for Alex. At least before reaching the Sovereign level, she wouldn’t encounter any bottlenecks in her cultivation.

“By the way, I forgot to mention another way to become a god, which is to absorb the Godheads left behind by fallen gods, skipping the process of becoming a god and directly reaching godhood. We call such gods demigods.”

That’s right, demigods. Speaking of this, the previous Undead Lord even showed a hint of disdain.

Thinking about it carefully, most of the Godheads left behind were left behind by pseudo-gods. Achieving godhood by absorbing the Godhead of a pseudo-god would indeed be looked down upon.

However, this method was not so easy to implement. After all, Godheads were very rare and not very common. Only first-stage Sovereign levels who had no other choice and had Godheads in their hands would reluctantly choose this method.

“You should also have a clear understanding of the Divine and Sovereign levels. You must have decided on your future path. The rest is up to you.”

“Once the path to godhood is determined, it cannot be changed. After stepping onto the path to godhood, there is no turning back. Success means becoming a god, and failure means disappearing completely from this world.”

After saying these words, the Undead Lord also told Alex an important piece of information.

That is, in this world, as long as they are not on opposite sides of the two forces, there is no absolute hatred between the races.

This was to tell Alex that even though she led the undead race, there was no need to worry too much about it.

In other words, the only absolute enemies of the undead at present were some races led by the Angel race.

It was a pity that the previous Undead Lord didn’t know that Alex was an extraterrestrial visitor, nor did he know that she was only at the King level now, otherwise he could have given more detailed advice.

But Alex didn’t care. If she had to rely on others for advice on everything, she would lose the ability to think independently. It was already a great honor for her to get this information.

“Heh, although I, a dead man, can’t give you any useful help, sometimes knowledge is the most priceless thing. All the magic I mastered in my life has reached the forbidden spell level. I think I still have some unique insights into the understanding of magic. Listen carefully later, I will teach you one by one and help you master the power of rules.”

Alex was shocked when she heard this, and then her face lit up with joy and an incredulous expression.

Indeed, the previous Undead Lord could do nothing for her except utter a few more words.

Yet, these few words could provide Alex with unprecedented help.

Never underestimate the power of knowledge.

“This space can exist for a year. During this time, you can practice magic here with peace of mind until you master the power of rules at the forbidden spell level. As for this image, it will dissipate after I finish teaching you the knowledge. The rest is up to you.”

That’s great. He even provided her with a place to practice.

It seemed that Alex wouldn’t be able to return to the Undead Empire for the time being. After all, only by becoming stronger could she gain a foothold in this world.

Alex was filled with gratitude towards the previous Undead Lord. It could be said that he had provided her with great help.

“Thank you.”

Although it was just an image, Alex still thanked him respectfully. His reminders and suggestions would save Alex a lot of detours.

The Undead Lord began his explanation. Alex sat down on the ground, cleared her mind of distractions, and listened attentively to his explanation.

The first thing he taught her was the forbidden spell level of undead magic. The Undead Lord taught Alex everything in great detail. It took a full five days just to teach her the forbidden spell level knowledge of Undead Summoning Magic.

After the teaching was over, the previous Undead Lord didn’t immediately start explaining the next one. Instead, he gave Alex time to comprehend it, letting her concentrate on memorizing it. After another five days, he continued his explanation.

In such a short period of time, Alex naturally couldn’t comprehend the forbidden spell magic. She just kept these key points in mind for the time being. After recording all the knowledge, she would start to comprehend it one by one.

Under the guidance of the previous Undead Lord, Alex began her closed-door cultivation in this space.

Outside, the two necromancers, unaware of the situation, were still waiting quietly for Alex’s return.

Although this space was well hidden, it was actually very fragile. Alex couldn’t leave here, because once she left this space, it would shatter.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Alex entered the cave for closed-door cultivation. The two necromancers guarding outside still hadn’t moved at all. They had turned into two desiccated corpses again, facing the direction of the shattered fake tomb.

The angels outside Cliffside Mountain were still patrolling the vicinity, as if endlessly, tirelessly, determined to find Torin’s whereabouts.

But Cliffside Mountain was too big. The entire southern coastline of the Eldoria continent was cliffs. Strictly speaking, the entire area here belonged to Cliffside Mountain. Therefore, it was obviously not easy to find a few undead who were good at hiding in such a large area.

What’s more, after such a long time, the angel captain began to suspect that the other party had left Cliffside Mountain, so he took the initiative to expand the search area.

At the same time, under the influence of unknown reasons, the relations between other major factions were also gradually entering a tense atmosphere.

Even around Cliffside Mountain, Sea Races began to attempt to land, but unfortunately, they encountered the angels who were looking for Torin here and were all killed.
