As I left my family down below enjoying the beach, I flew into the skies to deal with some of the things I had yet to get doh. Reminisg about the past won’t get me anywhere anyway; the present is better than I could have ever hoped, but even then, I feel the y to tinue growing stronger, even past my own limits.
Slowly, I’ve realized that the key to breaking my limits is all these powers I’ve acquired since I got back to Earth. Mana, Divinity, and now Broken Divinities and Shattered Divine Realms. With my new Skills, I decided to fully absorb them both.
Although I might have been a bit too prideful and arrogant before, I have e to the realization that these powers are indeed useful and strong, and I won’t shy away from using them if they get me ever so close to reag the Primordial Immemorial Void Realm.
RUMBLE!
The skies trembled as two gigantic spheres emerged out of thin air; they were the Shattered Divine Realms of both of the Gods of Eclipse. I quickly opened a portal to my Inner Realm as I activated a certain Skill with a simple and.
“{Divine Realm Assimition}”
FLASH!
The Skill effects activated, and a power I could not grasp entirely was given to me pletely now. Although I could break and shatter things, forcefully abs these things might only destroy them.
So, a fine and delicate ability was needed, and I couldn’t afford to practice my ability to absorb these things on my own. This Skill helped me skip that whole process entirely.
The two bubbles quickly started melding with my Inner Realm, quite literally melting inside and then slowly merging with it.
For the first time, I felt a ge. My Inner Realm, the representation of all my cultivation and the growth of my soul, trembled.
The Divinity I’ve been harnessing this eime suddenly appeared above the Inner Realm, streams of Divine Essend Mana flowed from it endlessly.
It flowed through the rest of my Inner Realm for the first time, Divine Essend mana—energies it couldn’t produce before! I was only able to “produce” Mana thanks to my System equipment, but this was now ing from my very own soul.
The Divine Realms merged together nicely, their eructures fused, the colorful heavens of my inner realm swirled together as they extended, and the gigantic heavenly domain of the goddess appeared.
Hundreds of floating isnds abaemples, and then her own golden pace emerged, alongside the blue skies and the white clouds. The Divine Realm emanated a bright divine essence, ohat was greatly ented with the elements of Holiness, Light, and Life.
But that wasn’t all; below the ground, caverns opened aended, making my Inner Realm grow several times bigger. These caverns then gained rivers of rees made of Bones, and roaming Undead appearing. The Underworld Divine Realm was made.
My Inner Realm became at least 3er after abs just these two Shattered Divine Realms, but the best part was the Essence! Elemental Divine Essence of Holy Light, Life, Darkness, ah are stantly produced by them, filling my Inner Realm with new essend life.
And my Divinity absorbed it all while letting out more and more Mana as well; it seemed that at any moment, a breakthrough of some kind would be achieved!
“T-This is incredible.”
[You have fully assimited the {Shattered Divine Realm}: {Mother of Light’s Heaven} and {Shattered Divine Realm}: {Lord of Deep Darkness’ Underworld} inside of your own Inner Realm!]
[Both Realms have been pletely assimited; your Inner Realm ow produce Divine Essence of Holy Light, Life, Darkness, ah in low quantities every sed.]
[You gained +500.000 Mana.]
[You gained +200.000 Divinity.]
[Your Divinity Stat will increase naturally over time the more you refihis essence. Your Developing Divinity is shining brightly, slowly about to undergo a special ge.]
“Excellent.”
The new quantities of mana reserves and divinity were already showing; I felt like this energy was finally flowing through me at a much more det amount and pace.
“Now, to the other teritives.”
Two floating masses of divinity surged in front of me. One overflows with light, the other with darkness. I was uo assimite them into my Developing Divinity before, and I am fairly sure I could try, but they would end up shattered even more; they were already brokeo my mishandling.
I activated the [Divinity Steal (SSS): Lv1] and [Divinity Tree Absorption (SSS): Lv1] Skills together at ohe broken divinities flew inside of my soul as I activated these Skills, I felt like I was finally “digesting” them properly.
My Developing Divinity, which resembled a golden fme, absorbed both of the broken divinities, darkness and light, mixing together and swirling against one another.
“T-This is…?!”
It resembled the Yin and Yang Rotation Cycle.
FLASH!
Suddenly, my Developing Divinity was not developing anymore; it was born, anew, bright, a the same time, dark. Darkness and light, life ah, destru and creation, love and war, day and night, sun and moon!
“So this is my Divinity… I should have guessed it would be something like this.”
I had thought it might be reted to light or the nine heavens, but that my Divinity was to be the embodiment of the Harmoween Yin and Yang was both surprising and somehow predictable. After all, I’ve been using abilities reted to them since I got bae.
The rotating darkness and light slowly moved towards the skies of my Inner Realm, spreading tless roots through it all, which also maed inside my soul.
The Divinity swiftly grew to bee like a gigantic tree made of darkness and light, enpassed by purple and blue-colored essence.
It resembled some sort of ic tree rather than a divine one.
The branches moved upwards and the roots downwards, rooting themselves inside my Inner Realm while the branches spread into the endless, rainbow skies.
“Beautiful.”
[You have successfully absorbed the {Broken Divinity}: {Holy Mother Of Light and Life} and the {Broken Divinity}: {Deep Darkness ah Shadows} into your Developing Divinity!]
[Your Developing Divinity has developed pletely, transf into a Developed Divinity!]
[You have awakehe {Divinity Tree}: {Yin and Yang Harmony Tree}: {Tier 1: Rank 1}!]
[You have developed your {Divinity Tree}! The Divinity Tree feeds on the absorbed Broken Divinities, f new Divine Branches and Divine Roots through your Soul.]
[The [Faith Point] System has been unlocked. Collect Faith Points tthen and increase all your stats, while also enhang your own Divinity Tree and unlog Divine Abilities and Divihorities!]
[You have gained +500.000 Faith Points.]
[You gained +100.000 Divinity.]
[You acquired the Title: [Demigoddess of Yin and Yang]!]
[You have gained a Divile, being a Demigoddess.]
[To asd further through the path of a Deity, please grow your Divinity Tree and your Divine World.]
“Divine World? Oh, I see. Does it mean the world I trol? Wait, did the System take my Inner Realm as my Divine World? Oh well, that’s for the better.” I shrugged. “Now let’s see how I exactly develop this thing…”
I flew towards the tree, and as I touched it with my hands, I felt endless streams of my own Divinity and Mana flowing stantly. By merely being close to it, I felt that my produ of Immemorial Venerable Primordial Essence was being produced rapidly.
“This is a blissful sensation; I hadn’t felt a simir thing since I asded.” I sighed in relief. “Now. Let’s administrate some Faith Points into this thing. The branches or the roots? What’s the difference? System, expio me.”
[The Divinity Branches develop Divihorities, while the Divinity Roots develop Divine Abilities.]
[It is reeo first develop your foundation as a Demigoddess, creating a strong Divine Ability. Later, a Divihority to go with it would be ideal.]
“Iing, alright…”
Without much further ado, and with just a sihought, I was able to ihousands of Faith Points into the roots. The roots grew longer and sharper, until one of them geed a small bump, revealing a bright golden and dark light.
[You have exged 250.000 Faith Points.]
[You have unlocked the First Root’s Divinity Ability: [Dual Rings of Radiant and Umbral Harmony (Demi Deity Rank): Tier 0/3]
-----
[Dual Rings of Radiant and Umbral Harmony (Demi Deity Rank): Tier 0/3]
[Growth]: [0/100.000]

More effects be unlocked as the Divine Ability grows on its Tier.

“Oh, it doesn’t sound so bad. I am amused that the Skill descriptions nhe existence of Ki and its refined variants.” I giggled. “It seems it also deal damage to Gods much more easily. Well, not like I required this, but it is nice—a oy to py around with.”
There was something else, though; apparently, I could upgrade the Divine Ability using Faith Points. It could only increase by 3 Tiers, and it art of the first root.
[To further asd your Tier, you must first enhance your Divine Root and your Divine Branch to the maximum Level and then reach Rank 10 of your Divinity Tree, which be aplished by the gathering of Faith and the refi of Divine Essence.]
[Every time your Rank increases, you gain a new Root and a new Branch to unlod grow.]
“Huh, iing.” I nodded. “Okay, got it. I guess I’ll wait and accumute more Faith Points if I want to tinue growing stronger. Wait, ’t I unlock the Divihority right away?”
[It is reeo never have zero Faith Points, as your Divinity Tree feeds off it to sustain itself.]
[If you reach zero Faith Points, your Divinity might grow weaker rapidly.]
“Oh, so that’s why… Very well. If there’s ohing I have the most, it's patience. Well, most of the time.”
I walked out of my Inner Realm, or should I say Divine Realm now? As I desded onto the beach, I saw a truly incredible sight. The seas were all swirling upward into the heavens as hundreds of gigantic Sea Beasts emerged.
I was gone for only a couple of minutes, and now there was this appearing out of nowhere.
“Just what’s happening? ’t a woman enjoy a nice day on the beaow?” I sighed.
RUMBLE!
The seas rumbled as the skies turned bck. Amidst the myriad of S-Rank Sea Monsters between Level 400 and Level 600, something surged. Perhaps the King of the Os of Eclipse, maybe? It was over a kilometer i, a gigantic silhouette that seemed to dwarf the os themselves.
SPLASH!
“You…! You’re the one! I finally found you!”
The gigantitity emerged, resembling a massive sea snake, with glistening azure-colored scales, three draic heads, sharp golden eyes, and tless scars across its enormous body.
[The A Ruler of the Seas [Leviathan: Lv5000 (SSS Rank)] emerges from the depths of the sea!]
[After having slept for eons since his creation and growth stage, it has found itself in a godless world, and it desires to bee the new God!]
“I challenge you, holder of the thrones!” He roared. “I will defeat you and bee the new God of Eclipse!”
“Oh, so is that how it's going to be?” I wondered. “e then; I’m feeling like having some sashimi now.”
