Law Techniques Library.

Gehald's continued to check through the reward list. His eyes landed on the law techniques library. At their level of power, spells have lost their meaning. A person can't become a sovereign without an in-depth understanding of laws. The only things that can increase a sovereign's power are techniques. Techniques are universal methods that use obscure knowledge to improve skills. They are improvements some tricks that were used during the weaker days of extraordinaries. For example double, triple, quadruple, or quintuple methods of casting. Invisibility, cloaking, movement, and fighting techniques are just some of the techniques available. It is just that the use of techniques cannot compare to specializing in that aspect as a sovereign, a sovereign with the movement concept of lightening will always be faster than a sovereign that as a water concept but is using a movement technique, boosts and abilities provided by using laws are supreme, but law techniques can help to shore up a weakness. Gehald is a supreme with a concept from the full mastery of the law of life. He has a supreme advantage in life force, vitality, healing, and recovery, no healing technique can beat him in any of these aspects, but with this advantage comes a disadvantage in his attacking abilities. He can make up for that by using a weapon and learning weapon techniques that improve his proficiency in using his weapon. He also has a cloaking and tracking technique which he uses with his understanding of life but it cannot compare to sovereigns with the concept of concealment and truth, he can simulate these two concepts but he cannot beat them.

Origin Realm Reopening.

The major reason grand gods and fake sovereigns participate in the trial of heaven is the chance to progress. Since fake sovereigns cannot fuse with their seed of power because it isn't theirs, they need to create another origin core. All living things possess an origin core, this represents life. The power to create another origin core can only be achieved by using origin essence, it can also only be done by those below Origin god level. Fake sovereigns need this second origin core to start anew for a chance to become an origin god. Gehald skipped over this option just to determine its value, to him a fake sovereign that managed to acquire 200 points certainly deserved a second chance. It is just that the new origin core will be empty, they would need time to accumulate origin energy, something they can make do without if they had origin essence instead of having mother High Heaven opening another origin realm for them, but beggars can't be choosers.

The extinguishing of a God's Godfire.

Grand gods don't need a new origin core, their origin core is just fine except they cannot fuse with it because of the god fire in their souls. When a new god ascends, his soul is set aflame to refine the power of faith into divinity. This makes their soul largely superior to those on the path of perfection but the soul fire will prevent them from fusing with the origin realm to become origin gods. If they have origin essence, they can extinguish their soul flame and fuse with their origin core, they can then ascend with the power within the Origin essence to become an origin god. If they don't have that and have done well during the trial of heaven enough to have 100 points, they can extinguish their god fire. This will leave them weakened and forever unable to produce divine energy. This won't be a problem if they immediately undergo tribulation to become an origin god. It is just that success during the tribulation isn't sure but records have shown that grand gods do better in the tribulation than sovereigns.

"Everyone to their paths," Gehald said when he was done looking through the list. This list will be available to all the surviving participants of the trial of heaven, it is just that the points needed will be different based on levels of power. The life essence that costs 200 points to sovereigns will cost at least 10 times as much to Titans of law and high gods, it will cost even more to those below. Divinity is nothing to a sovereign but to a low god, it is what they need to proceed in their path to power. An exceptional transcendent may be able to procure Origin essence for his future with this arrangement, as long as he has the points for it. If the transcendents continue to remain exceptional, he could become an origin god without coming back to the trial of heaven for origin essence.

Gehald shook his head and decided to check the library for information that might improve his grand plan for perfection. He hoped to be able to perfect his plan for reincarnation.

While Gehald was reading and catching up on some secret knowledge, some of the sovereigns were becoming origin gods within the tower of heaven. People were waiting across the entire realm, they were waiting for the ending of the trial of heaven, because with the end of the trial will come to the release of their friends, parents, lovers, and enemies that entered more than 100 years ago, and the official start of the new origin cycle... There will be crying and happiness when the results are finally made known but this hasn't tamped down their eagerness. Some people of means have been able to know the well-being of their people in the tower. In major families across the realm, the soul lamps of some people have gone out, while some select few soul lamps have shown brighter. The broken soul lamps will result in sighs and lamentations, the brightened soul lamps will cause smiles and laughter. The rise and fall of some families, some entire races, and some entire organizations will depend on the outcome of the end of the trial. For those that have been unable to glimpse the outcome, the wait and the anticipation is stifling. They can only hold on and hope for good tidings after the wait. As the time for the release draws near, those in the tower are the most eager to get out, their life has changed regardless of their different experiences in the trial.
