Qin Wentian paid close attention and listened to the words spoken by the Futian Battle God. So, there were two methods. The first one was to fuse source origins and gain insights into a heavenheart mandate. After that, they would manifest a world heart from there and smoothly stepped into the realm of world overlords.
From his instinct, the second path seemed to be more difficult. Before comprehending fused source origins, one has to be sure of the heavenheart mandates they want to comprehend. The difficulty of this was truly extremely high due to the degree of creativity involved. The first path was to comprehend passively, doing things in sequence step by step, using heavenheart mandates to temper their daos, succeeding in the forming of a world heart and breaking through to the world overlord realm. The second path was to actively seek comprehension by first manifesting a world heart. After their dao is formed, they reverse the flow and gain insights into heavenheart mandates second.

Senior refers to world hearts as the roots while heavenheart mandates as the branches and leaves. However, shouldn’t cultivation start from the root before the branches and leaves sprout? Why does a majority of world overlords choose the first method instead? This comparison doesn’t seem too apt?
Qin Wentian asked. He believed that the Futian Battle God wouldn’t have made such a mistake. There must be a deeper meaning to his words.

Let’s go back to the second method. The first question you must ask, is where does the tree roots come from?
The Futian Battle God smiled.
You are right, for a tree, the root is naturally the beginning. So, if you manage to establish the root first and manifest a world heart, it’s only a matter of time that the branches and leaves would grow – gaining insights into heavenheart mandates. Let me ask you, if you took the initiative to manifest a world heart according to your idea, would the insights you gain be more powerful compared to the insights you passively gain from choosing the first method?


Mhm.
Qin Wentian nodded. But he soon shook his head. He only understood half, there were still many puzzling questions. The World Overlord Realm is just too wondrous, many people wouldn’t be able to break through to it in their entire lives. How could it be so easy to comprehend? Even if there are heavenly deities giving him lectures, it was still far from sufficient.



It’s normal that you wouldn’t know. Do you know that if you fuse two source origins – let’s take your spatial source origins and sword source origins for example – if they managed to complete their fusion and gave birth to a heavenheart mandate, do you think the heavenheart mandate you gain insight into would be a fixed type?


Different people have different comprehensions, leading to how powerful or how weak their law energies might be. There shouldn’t be a fixed type I guess, but the difference in power shouldn’t be too great.
Qin Wentian spoke.

You are wrong. The difference could be exceedingly great because this brand new energy formed might contain the shadows of the two source origins you used in fusion, in reality, it is completely different. So, even if two people fused the same two exact source origins, the power of the heavenheart mandate they comprehended might be extremely different in terms of form and power.

The Futian Battle God continued,
However, for the fusion of two source origins, there are already a number of heavenheart mandates known. Many people would move step by step according to the experience of the ancients, trodding on paths that have been walked before. Hence, if they chose to do this, their path might be somewhat smoother but they would still fail to grasp the main points. On the other hand, for those who chose to manifest their world hearts first, they are creators that can topple everything the ancients had created. Their heavenheart mandates are unique, comprehended from their imaginations from the time when they were at the empyrean realm. But there’s one point to note, for those who choose this path, the heavenheart mandates they comprehend might be unique but it mustn’t be too weak or they might as well just follow the first path. Do you understand more clearly now if I explain like that?

Qin Wentian contemplated for a moment before he nodded his head. The second path had a degree of creativity but the difficulty was much higher.

And for those who choose to comprehend a single kind of source origins, they can depend on their comprehensions at the empyrean realm to manifest their world hearts and comprehend their heavenheart mandates from the world hearts they formed. However, only source origins of extraordinary laws can be used in this method. If they only choose to comprehend one ordinary law’s source origins, they might not even succeed and might be stuck in the empyrean realm forever.

This isn’t merely the difference between comprehension of heavenheart mandates. Because, at the world overlord realm, the disparity in strength might be exceedingly great. For example, the source origins people comprehended are all different. An example is you, you are clearly stronger compared to countless people and can stand at the peak of your cultivation realm. There are others would choose to comprehend many types of heavenheart mandates and they are all people with extreme talent. Any of these people would far surpass world overlords the moment they broke through to the same realm. This led to the average level of strength for existences in the world overlord realm to be extremely unequal.

Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. He could understand this point. For existences at the world overlord realm, those who comprehended two source origins could already fuse them into a heavenheart mandate. As for himself, he has a total of seven source origins now. After he breaks through to the next level, he would gain an eighth astral soul, thereby gaining comprehension over an eighth source origin. If he fused them two by two, how many types of heavenheart mandates would he be able to gain insights into? This was simply unimaginable.
Hence, within the world overlord realm, it wasn’t strange that there would be some that were much stronger compared to the others. The difference between them can be like the distance between the heavens and earth.

With so many different source origins, I have to gain comprehension into many types of heavenheart mandates. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be extremely difficult to enter the world overlord realm?
Qin Wentian mumbled.



To the vast majority of people, that is indeed the case. Also, don’t bite off more than what you can chew and think that heavenheart mandates are easy to comprehend. Usually, as long as people comprehend a single type of heavenheart mandate, they would already be able to enter the world overlord realm. And individuals like this can already be considered to have talent that is only one in billions. Regardless in Ancient Azure Mystic of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, world overlords are truly considered supreme experts and can be the hegemon of an area. How many stellar martial cultivators would die before one such existence is born?
The Futian Battle God spoke. Qin Wentian nodded his head,
It was indeed so. The Lifelong Realmlord controls an entire realm, governing boundless stretches of territories. He can already be considered a major character.

Is it really that difficult to gain insights into a heavenheart mandate?
Qin Wentian sighed.

It’s truly difficult. After comprehending one and becoming a world overlord, people would need many years to stabilize their foundations before they can comprehend a second, followed by a third.
The Futian Battle God nodded as he spoke.

In that case, for the division of strength in the world overlord realm, does it have something to do with how many heavenheart mandates one comprehended?
Qin Wentian asked. There should be a division in the world overlord realm just like the immortal emperor realm, right?

You are thinking too much.
The Futian Battle God laughed.
How can things be so simple? At the world overlord realm, the difference in strength can be so great that it exceeds your imagination. But it’s true that the vast majority of world overlords are the weakest one. The strength of world overlords has nothing to do with the number of heavenheart mandates you comprehend. For example, you are an expert who has four heavenheart mandates that were comprehended by fusing two of your source origins for each, you might still be weaker than your opponent. As long as your opponent has a single heavenheart mandate that was fused using three kinds of source origins, his control over his single heavenheart mandate would crush you despite you having four different heavenheart mandates, even to the extent of insta-killing you. This is because the the power of his single heavenheart mandate exceeds any of yours.

We are only speaking of a heavenheart mandate fused by three source origins. There are even rare world overlords who have managed to fuse four source origins into a single heavenheart mandate. How can you contend against them?

Qin Wentian listened seriously. Seems like the path ahead was still very long.
One has to comprehend a heavenheart mandate to become a world overlord, it was already extremely difficult to do so. And as for those world overlords who have many types of heavenheart mandates, it can be considered that they can stand stably in this realm but their strength was still far from sufficient…There were even stronger paths, fusing many different source origins into a single heavenehart mandate. He could understand now why the difference is strength would be extremely large despite both being in the world overlord realm.

Are there still cases of fusing five source origins or six source origins into a single heavenheart mandate?
Qin Wentian mumbled. The Futian Battle God smiled, he stared at Qin Wentian and replied,
If you can reach this step, you should almost already be at the point where you are ready to break through to the heavenly deity realm.


Heavenly deity!



Qin Wentian’s heart trembled, he glanced at the Futian Battle God and the other heavenly deities before him, unable to regain the calmness in his heart.
Before this, he still couldn’t ascertain how strong the heavenly deity realm is. Now, after the lectures given by the Futian Battle God, he finally understood that these heavenly deities before him were all monsters. Even for the world overlord realm, it was as tough as ascending to the heavens if one wanted to enter it. However, these people have all done so before and even managed to break through to the next realm, verifying their daos and became heavenly deities.

Almost?
Qin Wentian felt a little weird when he heard the Futian Battle God’s reply.

Yes. For different people, the conditions to verify their daos are different. It’s still too early for us to speak of this. Don’t aim too high, the road ahead is still very long. Try your best and see if you can enter the world overlord level within a hundred years first.
Futian Battle God casually spoke. Qin Wentian bitterly smiled as he spoke in a low voice,
A hundred years? How long is that…


You are really…
The Futian Battle God speechlessly glared at Qin Wentian. Taking a hundred years to break through to the world overlord realm was considered long? Did Qin Wentian understand how terrifying fast this speed is? It was only because there are a group of heavenly deities here guiding him that he dared to say a hundred years. If not, even a thousand years of tens of thousands of years wouldn’t be considered long at all.

Do you know that world overlords are existences that are one in billions? This is such a terrifying number. I would already be very satisfied if you can comprehend a single heavenheart mandate within a hundred years.
The Futian Battle God speechlessly spoke. Qin Wentian could only smile. He wondered if comprehending a heavenheart mandate was truly that difficult.
He naturally understood how rare world overlords are but now, he was in urgent need to increase his strength. Given the current situation in Azure Mystic, he naturally understood that an empyrean wasn’t enough to threaten these outsiders.

Let’s not digress too far. I will continue to share some knowledge about the world overlord realm with you. For example, my knowledge on the different types of heavenheart mandates that I know, and what source origins they are made up of.
The Futian Battle God pulled the topic back and continued his lecture. During his lecture, the other heavenly deities sat by the side and listened, not saying anything. Each heavenly deity had their own unique insights. The Futian Battle God was imparting Qin Wentian his very own insights using his own words.
After the Futian Battle God, the other heavenly deities respectively shared their insights and understanding towards the World Overlord Realm. They also shared their knowledge on the various types of heavenheart mandates. This dao lecture lasted for a very long time and Qin Wentian was completely immersed in the vast knowledge given to him by the heavenly deities. He would occasionally ask questions and he gained many benefits. It felt like a door was opened in his mind, the door leading to the World Overlord Realm.
He was filled with anticipation to the future, and to reaching the World Overlord Realm. This was especially so after the heavenly deities shared the various immensely powerful heavenheart mandates with him. He truly felt the desire to form his own heavenheart mandate, hoping they would be comparable to those people of the past.


All the immortal emperors were also immersed in their own comprehensions. This bout of good fortune held extraordinary meaning to them.
As for this ancient battlefield, more and more experts arrived. These were all troops sent from various powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, including super powers like the Heavenly Deity Race. Some of them found buried treasures in here, and as for the zombies that sought to block their paths, all of the zombies were destroyed mercilessly in their hands.
Today, among the immortal emperors whom Qin Wentian brought here, there was a person who achieved a breakthrough, entering the empyrean realm despite not entering a secret realm to train.
This first person to breakthrough was actually none other than the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, Nanfeng Yaoyue!
