Li Yuan heard it, the hope that can grant everlasting life to his close friends and family.
"Of course, the Inner Universe Origin is limited, and the quantity of Life Puppets, especially the ’Cosmic Holy Spirit,’ is always limited." Little Tomb said, "During the time of the Honghe Alliance, the Divine Emperors often transformed some ’God Kings’ who were reaching the end of their lifespan into Life Puppets, making these Life Puppets exceptionally powerful."
"Transform God Kings?" Li Yuan was shocked.
"After transformation, these God Kings cannot progress in strength, and their physical bodies may be far weaker than their original Divine Bodies, but their original Law Comprehension and Path Breaking insights can be maintained, and they are indestructible." Little Tomb said, "Thus, naturally, the number of strong individuals under a Divine Emperor’s command is vast."
"Crucially, if some immensely powerful Path Opening God Kings can step into the Third Step, their Dao Comprehension rivals the Emperor Realm... If they can maintain the physical state of the ’Cosmic Holy Spirit,’ they remain extraordinarily terrifying." Little Tomb explained.
Li Yuan listened, stunned.
Suddenly, he realized this point.
In the Divine Realm, as each Divine Court contends for dominance, why is it that once a God King is born in a Star Domain, it is recognized as a ’Permanent Territory’ by all, and nearly no one attempts to contest it anymore?
Had the God Kings from history never completely perished but instead continued living in another form?
Li Yuan pondered this, unable to be certain.
"Wu Liang, although it is also a Life Puppet, it originates not from a Divine Emperor’s Inner Universe but from ’Beichen Star,’ more precisely, it is a Life Puppet nurtured within the Emperor Weapon of Beichen Star." Little Tomb stated.
"Beichen Star is an Emperor Weapon?" Li Yuan wondered.
"If it were not an Emperor Weapon, how could it withstand the Cosmic Realm’s Reincarnation Catastrophe?" Little Tomb laughed, "More precisely, it contains both ’Life’ and ’World,’ two High Rank Eternal Dao Mysteries, and its Origin has evolved to the Fourth Step—an extremely powerful Emperor Weapon."
"Furthermore, accompanying the rebirth of the Cosmic Realm, its Origin has become part of the Cosmic Realm’s operational order. Thus, even the Abyss Divine Emperor, Chaos God Emperor cannot shake it."
"To shake Beichen Star is akin to shaking the Cosmic Origin... and would face Cosmic Origin’s retribution."
Li Yuan understood, previously he had been puzzled why the Divine Emperors did not interfere with Beichen Star.
It turns out they cannot shake it.
"Beichen Star’s Origin, known as ’Life Sea,’ is even stronger than many Divine Emperors’ Inner Universe." Little Tomb said, "Thus, over countless years, it has nurtured a vast number of God King-level ’Life Puppets’ and a massive number of Heavenly Divine lives... Like those Heavenly God level lives you saw on Beichen Star’s surface, they all originate from the Life Sea."
Li Yuan nodded, everything made sense.
"I intended to let you control Beichen Star, but alas, Beichen Star was left by Brother Beihe, I cannot do it." Little Tomb shook his head, "I’ve communicated with the Life Sea Will, it at most allows me to take Wu Liang... and if one day Beichen Star is controlled by someone, you will lose your control over Wu Liang."
"That’s enough." Li Yuan smiled.
Beichen Star is indeed remarkable... just the endless treasure spawned internally is enough to make one covet.
Sadly, even the Abyss Divine Emperor, the Direct Disciple of Beihai Supreme, cannot do it.
No need to crave for it.
"The second treasure is the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall, you can take it." Little Tomb pointed at the stone wall.
"Good." Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, he was indeed coveting this treasure.
In Li Yuan’s view, the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall is even more precious than an Emperor Weapon... over ten thousand Path Breaking masters appear as if standing alive before him, where else could he find such an opportunity.
"These over ten thousand Quasi-Saint figures have all at least stepped into the Third Step of an Eternal Dao, among them well over a thousand have stepped into the Fourth Step, with it as a guide, your path breaking ahead will be much easier." Little Tomb remarked.
"Third Step? Fourth Step?" Li Yuan hesitated.
Is it a realm of path breaking?
"Opening a path of eternal Dao is immensely difficult, perfecting it step by step until ultimately eternal, is a prolonged process, naturally it must be taken step by step." Little Tomb said earnestly, "Thus, this realm is termed as the First Step, Second Step, Third Step, Fourth Step."
"A Path Opening God King refers to an existence that has taken the first three steps on an Eternal Dao."
"While a Divine Emperor refers to one who has taken the Fourth Step."
"An Eternal Dao, if one can step into the Fourth Step, must enter the Emperor Realm." Little Tomb said solemnly, "So, in a certain sense, Path Opening God Kings and other cultivation systems’ Eighth Rank Path Breaking, in some eternal relics, are classified alongside Emperor Realm as ’Quasi-Saint."

"Directly termed as First Step Quasi-Saint, Second Step Quasi-Saint, Third Step Quasi-Saint, Fourth Step Quasi-Saint."
"Empire Weapons are called Empire Weapons because their Dao origin has reached the ’Fourth Step’ level."
Li Yuan silently savored this.
Quasi-Saint? This is what I’ve previously learned... thus, Path Breaking Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank Emperor Realm essentially have no fundamental difference, they are merely on the path of breaking.
Only, the Divine Emperors have ventured further.
Their paths have become immensely powerful, making their Divine Bodies more solid and powerful, allowing them to evolve Inner Universe, letting them slightly surpass the Time River constraints...
"Does Dao have strengths?" Li Yuan suddenly asked.
Little Tomb mentioned earlier that Beichen Star contains two High Rank Eternal Dao.
"Some weaker Eternal Dao, like the Everlasting Fire Dao, Everlasting Thunder Dao, are easy to open, but often reaching the First Step, Second Step is the limit." Little Tomb said, "Stepping into the Third Step is nearly impossible, Fourth Step is mere wishful thinking... they are classified as ’Ordinary Eternal Dao."
