Chapter 263 - Find a Chance to Become a God
Becoming a World God required exclusive use of the Heart of World.
The sole Heart of World resided on Loong Ming.
Loong Chen's access to the Heart of World hinged on Loong Ming's demise.
Loong Ming's death rendered the pursuit of World God status futile.
Yet failure to attain World God status meant inability to locate and rescue his father.
Consequently, they found themselves at odds.
“Unless there's an alternative path to becoming a World God.”
Loong Chen contemplated aloud.
Loong Ling overheard but remained silent.
She refrained from adding to Loong Chen's distress, knowing she herself couldn't accept such an outcome.
“Another solution must exist.”
Determination etched on Loong Chen's countenance.
Singular doesn't equate to sole; alternatives could still exist.
The undiscovered method remained concealed, not nonexistent.
Star Glory Emperor's century-long efforts yielded no breakthroughs because he solely pursued Heart of World employment, disregarding other avenues.
Though Loong Chen wasn't sure if other methods existed, he was eager to explore and give it a shot.
After all, he was a man with a system.
Even if he ultimately couldn't discover a path to divinity, he could still leverage the system to acquire attributes.
One day, his level might not reach that of a World God.
However, his physical attributes could exceed that level, which would enable him to save his father.
“Aunt, I'm going to venture out and explore. I may uncover the chance to become a god in the process.”
After some thought, Loong Chen made this decision.
“But don't worry. I'll leave my mirror image clone here. With the same strength as me, it will surely protect the Dragon God Temple.”
Loong Chen assured her.
At present, the mirror image could only last for 24 hours, but he believed that by increasing his level, the clone could persist longer.
He wasn't concerned about the experience points required for leveling up.
While exploring the western continent and the Dragon God Temple, he had slain numerous formidable mutated beasts and human experts.
This included Daoist Priest Qingyun, the Void Palace Master, and others, along with thousands of disciples from the five major factions.
At present, he possessed a vast, uncountable amount of experience points, roughly estimating them at around a billion.
“Chen, I know you're determined, so I won't hold you back. But remember to always prioritize your safety. Your life is most important because you're the sole bloodline of the Loong family.”
“Your father undoubtedly wouldn't wish for you to endanger yourself on his behalf.”
Loong Ling spoke with grave sincerity.
While gender equality was recognized, societal emphasis still leaned towards men.
Family lineage traditionally favored male descendants.
“Aunt, fret not. My current prowess enables me to traverse any terrain unscathed. Few exist who can challenge me.”
Loong Chen's confidence rang clear.
His assertion wasn't arrogance; having attained the Half-god Stage, he stood invincible against any threat.
Even against unbeatable foes, escape remained an option.
“You've matured. The choice is yours to make.”
Loong Ling sighed, refraining from further persuasion.
Observing the striking resemblance in personality between Loong Chen and Loong Ming, she conceded.
Both were equally obstinate; once resolved, action followed suit.
