Most people don't actually have an accurate concept of what gods are, nor can they classify them in detail.
The reason why evil gods such as the Bloody Lord are called gods is because they conform to human culture's understanding of gods.
For the golden strongmen, God can be conceptualized, and anyone who can transcend the limitations of the laws of the material universe is God.
Entering the Galaxy Era, humans surpassed the Hayflick Limit and overcame the limitation that their cells can only divide 56 times, greatly extending human lifespan.
This is an advancement in biotechnology and an overall evolution of human genes.
An ordinary person can live to 200 years old. If you are rich enough, you can adjust your genes and practice with your energy, and you can live to 300 years old.
A silver-level swordsman can live up to 500 years, while a gold-level swordsman can live up to 1,000 years.
A thousand years is also the natural limit of human lifespan. No matter how strong the power is or how the genes evolve.
After a thousand years, the human body will be able to maintain sufficient vitality, but the spirit will surely wither and die.
Even a super-class gold warrior can only prolong his lifespan through various nearly cheating methods.
Even someone as strong as Qin Shiyue must stay in the Jiuzhou Ding area to avoid the invasion of time and maintain vitality.
That's right. Qin Shiyue, who has lived for nearly two thousand years, also doesn't have much time left.
It is precisely because humans are unable to transcend the limits of life that so many people believe in evil gods and this practice continues despite repeated bans.
The strong desire for the continuation of life cannot be stopped by any external force.
Gao Xuan suddenly said that he had become a god, which really surprised Qin Shiyue.
According to what the Twelve Saints left behind, when humans become gods they will ignite the divine fire and attract countless enemies.
If Gao Xuan ignited the divine fire, there was no reason why he would not notice such a loud noise.
Furthermore, although Gao Xuan looked elegant and free, there was an unconcealable weakness in his eyes.
Gao Xuan in this state looked like he was seriously injured. Such a weak god was really unconvincing.
Gao Xuan knew that Qin Shiyue was a little suspicious, so he said: "I told you, I fought with Ksitigarbha for 300 rounds and lost by a small margin."
He stressed: "This has nothing to do with my becoming a god."
Qin Shiyue couldn't help but ask: "How did you become a god?"
"When you reach a certain level of power, you will naturally become a god."
Gao Xuan explained: "I am different from the evil god. I don't need faith."
In fact, Gao Xuan did not ignite the divine fire, and was not a true god. It was just that his power level had reached a certain level. In terms of combat power, he had surpassed most low-level gods.
There is no chance of winning against an evil god like the Lord of Blood in a head-on confrontation.
But on other levels, Gao Xuan is indeed still some distance away from God.
Ignite the divine fire, in fact, is to gather the core of the divine power law. This process must touch the most fundamental law of the world, and stimulate the burning of powerful energy.
Super energy combustion of this scale will inevitably penetrate space and leave strong energy flames in the multiverse.
This is like lighting a fire in a dark forest, which will definitely attract all kinds of ferocious beasts.
Therefore, lighting the sacred fire has become a taboo in the plane.
The Twelve Saints were aware of the danger of the divine fire, which shows that they were only one step away from becoming gods at that time.
To Gao Xuan’s regret, he did not see any traces left by the senior saints in the Underworld.
The things involved here are quite complicated and private. Gao Xuan would not tell Qin Shiyue too much about it.
Gao Xuan said to Qin Shiyue: "Old Qin, the reason why you can't live beyond a thousand years is because your soul can't withstand the cleansing of time."
He tapped his temple with his finger and said, "So, if you want to live long enough, the most important thing is to strengthen your soul."
Qin Shiyue nodded, "I know that."
Three thousand years have passed, and generations of powerful golden men have explored and summed up experience.
The reason why human lifespan is limited is that their spiritual power is not good enough. However, as the super-level gold masters died one by one, the others also understood that it was useless to have strong spiritual power.
Using the process of elimination, it is easy to come to the conclusion that the lifespan of strong human beings is limited because their souls cannot withstand the refinement and polishing of time.
Why can the evil god make people live forever? In fact, it makes people’s souls become stronger.
Of course, only a very small number of top-level experts know this truth.
The problem is that knowing the truth is useless. The strong have tried every possible way, but it is difficult to strengthen their souls. They can only use various means to protect their souls and try to prolong their lifespans.
"It's OK if you understand this."
Gao Xuan said: "However, you have to distinguish the difference between the soul and the spirit."
"What's the difference?"
Although Qin Shiyue is a super gold level, he is very studious and asks questions when he doesn't understand something.
This level of knowledge is really precious. Qin Shiyue is not going to pretend to know something she doesn't.
"Soul is the origin mark of the birth of living things. Just like an ordinary fetus, a little spiritual light is born the moment the sperm and egg combine.
"In our ancient language, the battle between two spirits is called a god. The god here is actually the soul. The soul determines a person's innate character and talent. This is the most difficult to change."
Gao Xuan said: "In the process of cultivation, we are also constantly sharpening and tempering our souls. When the soul is strengthened to a certain level, it can be called a divine soul. Therefore, the upper limit of the life span of a gold-level warrior is the highest. It's just that the source power cultivation method is very low-level, and there is a limit to the strengthening of the divine soul.
"A so-called god is a soul that is so powerful that it can exist independently."
Qin Shiyue thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "It's very clear and makes sense."
At his level, he can already touch the secrets of the soul, but it is still vague, at the stage of a blind man touching an elephant.
Gao Xuan's few words revealed the truth, allowing Qin Shiyue to suddenly see the new world.
Of course, seeing the new world was one thing. Without Gao Xuan's guidance, he could only watch.
The exploration of a whole new world requires countless wisdom and energy.
The reason Gao Xuan could see it so clearly was because he had practiced in the world of cultivators.
Although the Five Elements Secret Technique he practiced could not be called the top secret technique, it was also the result of research and exploration by countless predecessors, and it embodied the wisdom of countless people.
Moreover, the world of cultivators itself is of a very high level. The major sects have a long history, and it is said that they were all inherited from immortals.
The biggest difference between the world of cultivators and the world of the galaxy is that the cultivation in the world of cultivators is mainly based on the soul.
Regardless of whether it is a righteous or evil sect, the secret method is aimed directly at the soul.
In the Galaxy World, people cultivate source power and spiritual strength, which is one level lower in comparison.
This is not because the alliance is incompetent, but because the alliance has existed for too short a time. Including the primitive dark ages, human history is only a few hundred thousand years old. What can truly be called civilization is only about 10,000 to 20,000 years old.
How can such a short period of time be compared with the accumulation of tens of millions of years of cultivator civilization in the cultivator world.
When Gao Xuan returned from the cultivator world civilization, he realized that the alliance’s cultivation system was too low-level.
However, at that time, the major families were rampant, and the various evil gods were hiding in the dark and causing harm, and the actual conditions did not allow him to spread the system of cultivation.
After twenty years of cleansing, the followers of the evil gods in the major families were basically cleared out, and the three most powerful evil gods were destroyed.
Gao Xuan felt that he could now promote the cultivation system and allow the entire social civilization to move forward.
However, he also needs to do some experiments before promoting it piece by piece.
In case of any problems, you can stop the loss in time.
Of course, Gao Xuan was still 99% sure about this. He looked for Qin Shiyue first, but he didn't use him as a test subject.
The main reason is that this old man has a good character and his life is coming to an end, so of course he should be taken care of first.
Gao Xuan did not just talk, he taught Qin Shiyue a set of "Xuanwu Cangshen Jue" on the spot.
This method of cultivating the soul is also the secret method of the Five Elements Sect. In view of the characteristics of Qin Shiyue's soul, Gao Xuan felt that this Xuanwu Cangshen Jue was most suitable for him.
Xuanwu is the entanglement of a tortoise and a snake. The tortoise symbolizes stability and strength, while the snake symbolizes agility and mystery. Xuanwu Cangshen Jue will not improve Qin Shiyue's combat power, but it can strengthen his soul.
The most fundamental of this secret method is to visualize the divine image. Gao Xuan used divine to convey divine information, and deeply imprinted the divine image of Xuanwu into Qin Shiyue's sea of consciousness.
Qin Shiyue was very knowledgeable. When he saw the divine image of the turtle and snake entwined, he immediately sensed that there was an endless mysterious aura hidden within.
In coordination with Gao Xuan's instruction of the magic formula, he immediately entered a state of deep meditation.
When Qin Shiyue woke up from his mysterious meditation state, he let out a long breath, with endless excitement and joy in his old eyes.
After living for two thousand years, he finally knew that there was such a mysterious way of practice.
Qin Shiyue didn't know the specific effect of this practice, but he could clearly feel that his spiritual power was more active. He also rarely felt a kind of vitality that made him excited.
This vitality does not reside in the body, but overflows from the depths of the soul.
According to Gao Xuan, it should be called spirit and soul.
Qin Shiyue glanced at Gao Xuan: "You are really patient, waiting here all the time."
You should know that this time he spent three hundred standard hours in meditation.
"This is the first time I'm teaching the Fa, so I have to keep an eye on it."
Gao Xuan just said this. He had already passed on his skills to Jiang Xuejun once.
But Qin Shiyue is different after all, and he also needs to observe Qin Shiyue's condition.
Now it seems that although the source power is not as good as the vitality of the world of cultivators, it is not much different. Qin Shiyue practiced the Xuanwu Cangshen Jue and made rapid progress. And it has a significant improvement on the soul.
By protecting his soul in this way, Qin Shiyue would have no problem living another thousand or eight hundred years.
Qin Shiyue stood up seriously and bowed deeply to Gao Xuan: "This method has opened up a new world and brought me great benefits. Thank you."
Such a secret method is enough to change fate. It is not enough to just say thank you. Qin Shiyue just wanted to express an attitude.
Gao Xuan waved his hand: "We are so familiar with each other, so don't call me Master. It's too formal."
Qin Shiyue had no intention of becoming a disciple, although this method alone was enough to make him a disciple.
He sighed and said, "At my age, let's just be friends. You wouldn't feel comfortable if I called you Master..."
Qin Shiyue felt that this topic was a bit off topic, so he hurriedly said, "I'll give you the Jiuzhou Ding right now!"
