NOVEL NEXT Chapter 179: Zen
After getting the earth from Grogon's hand, I observed the earth for a while and realized it was just ordinary earth.
Confused, I turned my head toward Gorgon's enchanting beautiful face questionably.
[What do you want me to do with this… ehrnn…soil?] *Me
Amused, Gorgon gave me a teasing smile and jokingly replied,
[Good question, how about you eat it? who knows something interesting will come out from your stomach hahah- hey!!|
What are you doing! Don't eat it for real, will ya?!! I just joking!] *Gorgon
When she told me to eat it, I seriously nodded and about to eat the soil for real, only to found that she started panicking upon seeing my reaction.
Since the atmosphere surrounding us during our talk was serious all this time, I thought she was seriously giving me a real instruction to found out the type of my Zen… but it turned out she dare to playing some joke on me, disregarding the serious talk we have at this moment…
[Gorgon, you still have some nerve to make a joke in this situation?!
Forget it, just give me the real instruction] *Me
[What a boring man~
Anyway, I'll give you the real instruction now.
Just hold that soil in your hand, and start focusing your Zen energy and transferred it to that soil…
.....
Right, I think you're still new on controlling Zen, hmm…
Let's do this, concentrate on your soul crystal and trying to imagine it as a water tank…] *Gorgon
As Gorgon began to give real instruction, I gradually changed back my mindset into serious mode and started seriously taking her instruction into action with high focus.
[Now, try to imagine yourself to create a path for the water in the tank flowing through your hand before making its destination into the soil in your hand.
after you have this thing done, imagine the energy in your soul crystal as water, and made it flow to the path you already created] *Gorgon
Following her instruction carefully, I try to imagine controlling the energy inside my soul crystal( Or could also be called a Godseed, as I already ascended into godhood), and trying to control it to move into the soil in my hand.
But, when I control this Zen, I didn't imagine it the same as what gorgon tried to tell me.
Understanding the gist of the concept she tried to elaborate on, I slightly changed it to the thing that easier for me to imagine.
I try to think, the soul crystal as an energy source, and using my blood vessel as the medium for my energy to flow, before imagining a hole in my hand to make this energy traveled into the soil on top of it.
At this moment, I use a reference from the Ninja Anime I used to watch and trying to imagine the concept of Zen the same as cakra rather than following what Gorgon told me blindly.
Just as I expected, after imagining it like that, I can control the energy easier and more smoothly than I expected!
[Ohh! It seems you're quite talented in the way of controlling Zen!
hmm~
Your future is surely bright!
maybe become your subordinate while you're still a newbie like this is not a bad thing after all~
Anyway, keep concentrate your Zen on it, and keep pouring it into the soil in your hand like that.
......
Now,
As I already explain it to you before, There's 5 types of Zen in this Universe, and have they own respective advantage and disadvantage…
The thing that I instruct you at this moment is a rough way to identify which one is the most suitable for you.
Even though it can't identify it in detail, but finding out your talent on one of the types is not a problem.
now, with your Zen poured into the soil,
If by chance the soil in your hand started to disintegrate into dust, it's mean your talent is more tend on the enhancer type.
If that's not happening, and something different happens and made the soil in your hand became rock-solid, it's mean your talent tends to go on Manipulator type.
If both of the phenomena I just mentioned not happening, and your soil suddenly became mud, it's mean the way of Imaginator is suited for you.
The last, if all the three phenomena I just tell you not happening, and a small plant started growing from the soil, the Essenciel type the most suitable to cultivate!
As for specialists, just like I already explained to you before, it's not a natural Zen power and could only be used with the help of the artifact…
Now, let's see what kind of Zen is the most suitable for you to train~
…
…..
..
.
Hmm… This is…] *Gorgon
Gasp!
While I was closing my eyes and concentrating on controlling my Zen, Gorgon's surprised voice suddenly took my attention and made me became intrigued.
Upon opening my eyes, a scene where the small plant gradually growing on the soil in my hand greeted me.
'Did she perceive something extraordinary within me?! Did I have a heaven-defying talent like the protagonist inside of a wuxia novel?!!'
With great expectation, I moved my gaze toward Gorgon's face…
Only to find that she had a teasing smile and amused expression for her successful mischief acted,
[What are you expecting for? Hahahah~
looked at that face full of expectation! hahahaha~] *Gorgon
Disappointed that she just mischievously mislead me, I shrugged my shoulder weakly.
'This Bitch, why she's so playful! Did she still not realize that she is now already my subordinate?!'
…
….
'However, considering she's a way stronger than me, I think there's nothing I can do about it… after all, respect is given and is not something that I can forcibly ask for'
[Anyway, it seems you're an Essenciel type.
this is quite a rare type, so you don't have to be that disappointed!
still… as expected, it seems your Zen rank is in the lowest rank…
Considering you're forcing yourself to skip through the process to form your Godseed, I'm not surprised that this situation happens.
Just don't forget to train in your free time, and you're ready to go.
Maybe at 100 years you can rank up your Zen rank into a God rank] *Gorgon
Shrugging off the unnecessary thought inside my head, I suddenly get my attention hooked on the thing called Zen rank mentioned by Gorgon just now.
'Zen rank, right, there's such a thing on my status page before!'
[Gorgon, could you elaborate the Zen rank stuff to me? Ah, also, tell me about the God rank and Divinity rank while at it too] *Me
[Hooh, where did you hear about that stuff? It seems you're quite knowledgeable considering you just ascended into a godhood a while ago.
…
About Zen rank, as far as my knowledge goes, there's a 3 level of Zen rank.
Demigod Rank, God Rank, and Super God Rank.
I once heard there are 2 more ranks above Super God rank, but I myself never meet them in person… so I didn't know for sure about them.
Maybe if you already reached a certain level, you can find more about the world of Superior God] *Gorgon
[Anyway, let's move on to the Divinity Rank and God Rank.
these two and Zen rank are linked to each other, so it's good you asked about this thing to me when you're not quite well informed with this stuff.
As you continue to grow as a God, you will level up higher and higher, getting more authority and power as you climb.
From what I know, there's 3 God rank known in this Universe, called : Star Rank, Moon Rank, and Sun Rank.
This also applies to the Divinity rank.
However, you have to pass through 3 small levels first before you level up into a higher rank.
...….
In divinity rank, it's common for a person to pass 3 stages called Small, Medium, and Big before they can advance into a higher rank.
In short, if you want to advance into the next rank, you must fulfill certain criteria.
To make it easier, I will give you an example.
if you want to advance your God rank into a Moon rank from the Star Rank, you must have your Divinity rank at the Big Star level first before you can advance.
You can force to level up without considering this thing, but please bear in mind, there's a high probability that your Godseed will be broken through the process.
It's not like this possibility will be nulled if you already met the condition to advance, but at least, you can slim the chance for that tragedy to happen] *Gorgon
When I heard Gorgon's explanation, all of a sudden, my eyes lit up as I began to realize something,
'Did the number after the God Rank name in my status is a sign? (*the Star I, Star II, etc)
From Gorgon's explanation, she seems didn't know about the number thing on the God Rank… is that mean the private system that I have already considering this and showed me the number for me to advance smoothly?
…. It seems I already receiving a quite cheat before I know it…'
[As I already said before, the 3, God rank, Divinity Rank, and Zen Rank are linked together.
So by advancing your God rank, you can break through your limited Zen capacity for it to be further strengthened.
in order, Divinity rank is affecting the process on ranked up your God Rank, and God ranks affecting your Zen power and capacity.
For you to increase your Divinity rank, you have to gather spiritual energy through meditation or doing something that made your name as a God to be known by more mortal, which is also a process for you to level up and strengthen your Zen.
Just like this, the three are linked into each other] *Gorgon
...…
Coming back to my sense, I found Gorgon already finished her explanation.
When I compared her explanation with the information I got after ascended into godhood provided by the strange Zen special ability, The Olympus Codex, I confirmed the information turned out to be the same as what Gorgon has in her knowledge.
But still, there's something that still bothering my mind…
The existence of the System, or The Olympus Codex Special Zen ability to be exact!
After beginning to understand all these things, I began to realize that Olympus Codex was more ridiculous than I thought…
'Maybe, the cheat skills that I thought to be lost, it's evolved into a more terrifying thing….
As expected, Absolute Copy, Online Shopping Skill, it seems you guys are still here to accompany my journey on the world of God!'
