Since Jacob changed the topic, Immortika didn't dwell on the matter of how Jacob would find the Longevity Path Glory Gem; after all, no matter how Jacob tackles this problem, Immortika will have its entertainment.
"Since you are already only a step away from reaching the Mythical Rank, and the third phase also demands it, I guess this is about time you learn about the Mythical Rank.
"The Mythical Rank, unlike the Legendary Rank, can't be reached just by having a legendary vestige because, in this rank, a mortal breaks free from its feeble shall and transforms into a cosmic entity that is no longer bound by racial elements or limitations of space.
"That's why the Mythical Rank is the benchmark to become a God, and the beings in the Mythical Rank are titled as Lesser Gods because they are beings of laws and divine!
"The Mythical Rank has three states, and like the legendary rank states, these three states have unique titles. The first state is called the Mythical King State, and to enter this state, one is required to transform their Soul Totem into Celestial Astrolabe!
"The Celestial Astrolabe, also known as the God's Crown, is essential to ascend to the Mythical Rank just like the Legendary Vestige.
"However, unlike the Legendary Vestiges, the Celestial Astrolabe is formed through complex steps. The first one is to completely merge one's law glyph into the Magic Core or, more simply, integrate your comprehend law into your World Core Seed until your stellar energy or mana turns into Law Energy!
"But this is just the easiest part, and every peak tier of the Legendary King has completed it. What is complex is the second step, which is the evolution of the soul totem and forming the vague construct of a Celestial Astrolabe, which also symbolizes the pinnacle of spiritual mastery and gets you closer to the gateway to true godhood.
"Its formation is a monumental event, transforming from a legendary being into Quasi Myth - a stage between the Legendary Rank and Mythical Rank and the stage where you are now.
"Once someone became a Quasi Myth, they are already at the doorstep of becoming a Mythical King or entering the realm of a Lesser God.
"But this is also the most challenging step because to form a complete Celestial Astrolabe, you not only need to be in the Upper Galaxies because the laws of the Middle Galaxies can't support a Celestial Astrolabe birth nor the space here can handle its presence and if someone dares to expose such power, hehehe, they'll be courting death.
"Anyway, you not only need to be in the upper galaxies, but you also need a Celestial Law Chart of your comprehended elemental law to arrange the construct of your Celestial Astrolabe.
"After all, this transformation is a profound process that requires not only the evolution of your soul but also alignment with the cosmic forces that influence the path of laws. Suppose a Celestial Astrolabe is imperfect, or some idiot tries to overestimate itself and mess up hehehehe. In that case, it will turn into cosmic dust, and their soul totem will be annihilated by their own laws for going against them with their meager power.
"Even if someone had the Celestial Law Chart of their law, they still required deep perception of soul force and law mastery, and once someone succeeded, it will result in a Celestial Astrolabe, which is a highly intricate device, appearing as a cosmic mechanism with rings that orbit around a central core, which his none other than a newly born 'Divine Soul!'
"A Divine Soul is protected by the Celestial Astrolabe because it contains the Soul Planetary Formation, the next stage of Soul Cosmic Evolution after the Soul Stellar Formation, and the Mana Nucleus Formation, the next stage of Planetary Magic Evolution.
"That's why killing even a Mythical King is quite troublesome. It is because of the Celestial Astrolabe, and it is called a God's Crown for a reason.
"But this isn't even the beginning of the true purpose of the Celestial Astrolabe. The Celestial Astrolabe serves multiple purposes, primarily centered around the path of godhood and the manipulation of universal laws. It acts as both a symbol of godhood and a tool to harness the power that only a Mythical Rank could use the Divine Power!
"Divine Power can only be used through the Celestial Astrolabe and Divine Soul. However, Divine Power isn't like mana, which you can just recover through the atmosphere; it is limited.
"In fact, divine power is mandatory to progress to a higher state of mythical rank. Every time a Mythical Being reaches a bottleneck, they will have to gather a sufficient amount of it.
"There are two main paths that a Mythical Rank can take to gather Divine Power. The Faith Path and the Law Path!
"The Faith Path revolves around the cultivation and absorption of faith energy. The Celestial Astrolabe acts as a conduit to collect and channel the faith of believers, transforming their devotion into divine power, and the Divine Soul refined it.
"As God gains more followers and believers, the astrolabe absorbs their faith while also empowering the followers and increasing their rank and strength.
"The Faith Path is often chosen by those who wish to amass a large following, converting belief into strength and establishing themselves as deities worshiped by mortals. The Gods who followed this path are also called the Faith Gods!
"As for the Law Path, this path requires the Gods to imbue the Celestial Astrolabe with universal laws. God must comprehend and master specific laws-such as fire, time, space, or darkness and inscribe their essence into the astrolabe itself.
"This path is significantly more challenging than the Faith Path, as it demands deep understanding and mastery of the laws of the universe. But the benefits are just as great.
"The Gods who choose this path are called the Law Gods. Law God can use the astrolabe to manipulate laws, granting them powers that reflect the laws they have integrated. For example, a Law God who has inscribed the law of fire might gain abilities to control and summon flames of divine origin, while one who has mastered the law of time could influence the flow of time itself.
"The rings on the astrolabe of a Law God can be formed once they reach a sufficient mastery of the law and get their acknowledgment. With it, they can also continue to evolve with the Law Path, changing in color, shape, and movement to reflect the nature of the laws mastered.
"Furthermore, the rings of the astrolabe symbolize the stages of this growth and are called the Crown Rings; as a god gains more faith or laws, additional rings appear and orbit the Divine Soul, indicating their expanding influence and power.
"Each Crown Ring signifies the god's rank, with more rings denoting higher levels of godhood. A Mythical King will form One Crown Ring on his Celestial Astrolabe.
"When it reaches the next Mythical Rank State, the Mythical Grand King State will have 2 Crown Rings; at the third state, the Mythical Emperor State, the Celestial Astrolabe will have three Crown Rings.
"Three Crown Rings are also the limit of Lesser God Rank, and someone with Four Crown Rings will be a Higher God, and their rank will be above the Mythical Rank!
"The complexity and arrangement of these rings demonstrate the god's proficiency and rank
in their chosen laws.
"All in all, the Celestial Astrolabe is the foundation upon which a god builds their power and legacy. It serves as a constant reminder of their status and their chosen path, whether it be through the Faith Path or the Law Path.
"In the cosmic order, the astrolabe is recognized as the symbol of a true god, and it is a tool that allows them to interact with, influence, and control the forces of the universe!"
