God Stage is the 10th Stage of Genesis Qi Cultivation.
Information
- The God Stage is separated into the highest First Order, Second Order and to the lowest Third Order. At this cultivation level, one has the ability to see the future and have the ability of Creation. The higher the Order, the greater things one can create. Also, fellow Gods no longer fight by strength, but by one's Divine Nature, Comprehension and Order.
- The God Stage was originally left as an incomplete path for mortals due to the obstructions of the Sacred God when the Ancestral Dragon first tried to create the World. This final step was completed by Almighty Sovereign Yuan after the Sacred God's death, allowing the God Stage to arise among mortals.
The Quasi God Stage exists between the Three Lotus Saint Stage and the God of the Third Order.
The God Stage has two species of Gods:
- Innate Divine Spirits (True Gods born from the universe or by other Gods, limited in Order and possess an Innate Divine Object)
- Cultivated Gods (Mortals who cultivated to the God Stage, need to cultivate their own Innate Divine Object)
Ascension Conditions
- Grade-9 Genesis Qi - Genesis Qi strong enough to ascend to the Divine Qi.
- A Life Source Material (本命物质) - the source of the God's life core and the God's main weapon, refined from the growing God's divine power/qi, the material needs to later evolve into an Innate Divine Object.
- A Divine Bone (神骨) - can help one withstand divine nature (later born from the refined non-will Chaotic Yin Yang Sea).
With these 3 conditions, a Three Lotus Saint can help breakthrough to divinity and become a God of the Third Order to cultivate Divine Nature. If only the Divine Bone and one other condition are fulfilled, the Saint would only become a Quasi God. However, if the Divine Bone is removed, one will immediately be expelled from the God Stage and will have to recultivate from the Three Lotus Saint Stage to become a God again, but the path will be more difficult (When Almighty Sovereign Yuan removed the Divine Bone from his body, he was still able to retain his cultivation base to be at Quasi God Stage). Ascending the Order from Third to First requires the God to improve one's Divine Nature (神性).
- The Sacred God's Divine Nature and Second Order limitations compelled it the need to devour the Ancestral Dragon's remnants' Divine Nature to ascend to the First Order, therefore, it created the Sacred Race to spread the end of all life created by the Ancestral Dragon.
Most of the initial Gods ascended after Almighty Sovereign Yuan are limited to the Quasi God Stage at first, because of the limited new experience to become Gods.
Zhou Yuan's Special
The 4th level of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture (Ultra Grade-9), Yao Yao's Divine Bone and his Life Source Material. Zhou Yuan's ascension is unique due to the Ancestral Dragon Scripture establishing his First Order divinity equal to the Ancestral Dragon of old. His ascension enabled to true completion of the God Stage cultivation path by him planting in all present and future life a Divine Bone to allow ascension for others to the God Stage.
His later re-cultivation required him to create his own Divine Bone by comprehending and assimilating the True Ancestral Dragon Qi, thereby, condensing a Divine Bone to help him re-enter the God Stage.
Powers and Abilities
The gods, in general, are the most powerful race that exists in the Dragon Prince Yuan franchise. They are strong enough to be feared throughout the universe, not just by mortals, but even among them. While it may appear that each god possesses the same authority and similar powers, their individual power and combat capability varies depending on how the deity's Order is, being separated into the higher First Order, Middle Second Order, and lower Third Order. The First Order Gods (Only Ancestral Dragon) possess Non-Dimensionality which makes it the most invulnerable Gods' Order Stage. Despite this, they all share certain powers, such as Infinite Lifespan (Immortality) and even the specific abilities of their individual domains can sometimes overlap with those of other deities.
Capabilities
- Divine power: The power of the stage far surpasses the Three Lotus Saint. If a Three Lotus Saint fights a God or a Quasi God, the God's single attack is enough to kill the Saint and give a natal heavy injury to the Quasi God. A collision between two Gods or more can permanently destroy the space around them, becoming part of the void no matter what. Their power is also able to destroy or decay Saint Lotuses. The First Order God can kill those below him by just a thought in its prime state. The Ancestral Dragon was an Omnipotent being with absolute infinite energy as they get their powers directly from the its Origin the Void and Primal Chaos itself. One of the God's ability is that they can manipulate Laws but it also varies depending on Order. First Order Gods can manipulate Laws of each and Everything, Second Order Gods are capable of manipulating laws of Fate (a little bit), Time (a bit), space, worlds, elements, etc. While Third Order Gods have less capabilities compared to Second Order Gods that's why unless they have similar level of divinity or have something of First Order God, they can't become equal to Second Order Gods. First Order Gods do not have any limitations on their physical capabilities, means they have infinite strength, agility, endurance, etc. As they are Non-Dimensional Beings.
- Creation: Perhaps God's greatest strength is the power to create an entire race, surprising most races were created by the Ancestral Dragon in his works. However, the power of a God's creation depends on the power of the deity in question, as exhibited by the Ancestral Dragon, Sacred God, and the Yaoyao. The First Order God can create Greater Worlds (A Greater World is a Universe itself. HGW is an exception as it will indefinitely expand) with Heavens, Beings (with infinite possibilities). All the cultivation processes, laws, etc., the Ancestral Dragon was also capable of creating Gods (even his will was able to give birth to a Third Order God and two supreme blessings like the Sacred Saint Dragon Blessing and the Majestic Dragon Blessing). The Second Order God can create Saint Stage beings and A Quasi God in its Prime state (he was able to create a Third Order Potential Being (Heavenly Cthulhu or Evil God in Divine Egg Form) with its Quasi First Order God Stage Powers which would eventually at his peak rival or even surpass by a bit his Order God self). The Third Order can create Divine Items equal to Three Lotus Saints. However, there is a limit of creation each Order possesses.
- Immense Divine Power: The deities were the first race to have total control of the divine qi and completely dominate all its occult paths, to the point where the energy itself serves as a receptacle for all memory, knowledge and aspect that the gods have of themselves. By inciting their powers, the deities manifest themselves in the form of an aura whose color and shape vary. The power of the gods is so immeasurable that some see humans no more powerful or important than humans see bacteria. Now, compared to each other, the degree of scale varies from God to God. Originally, the Ancestral Dragon was the most powerful deity, It was capable of mending Laws like the world laws of any world or the laws of the Tian Can Tu Dou Multiverse according to their will, and they can control each and every law which exists (Reincarnation, Life and Death, Darkness, Light, Realities, Fate, Energy, etc.) and their powers does not depend on their world or the Universe or the Multiverse they are in but on the 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻 means its Absolute infinite Energy. First Order Gods are also capable of Erasing Greater Worlds. Second Order Gods, such as the Sacred God, also have immense levels of divine power as they do not completely get their Divine Energy from Their Worlds but a little portion from The Multiverse too but is insignificantly inferior than the Ancestral Dragon even in his Quasi First Order God state, Afterall the Saint God was born from the World Ancestral Dragon was creating. The Third Sequence Gods such as Yao Yao despite being considered inferior in terms of creation, their battle strength was comparable to the Saint God when he was a Second Sequence God instead of Quasi First Sequence.The Powers of a Second Sequence God not entirely but somewhat depends on the World he is in while a Third Sequence God's Powers depends entirely on the World they are in.So if they get out of their Greater Worlds,their powers would get suppressed in another Greater World unless before entering they make some amendments in the World Laws of the Worlds they are entering or that Greater World is weaker than the world they are God of to retaliate their existence.(does not apply on Ancestral Dragon because it was born from the void and primal chaos itself and possess the power to not only both mend and erase those laws but erase that world too.)
Upon ascending to the Quasi-God Stage, a Saint's Saint Body ascends to become a Divine Body and only other Gods and Similar Dimensional or Higher Dimensional Beings can harm them.
Gods can create a Divine Territory (神域) which is like a God's Law Domain. The Divine Territory originates from the God's divine Life Source Material similar to a Law Domain Origin, but different. Within the Divine Territory, Gods can create life that have the power of a Saint, have the same spiritual intelligence as humans and be absolutely loyal to their creator God.
A Life Source Material (本命物质) is a physical representation of the God's life source and tool that anchors their Godhood. The destruction of the Life Source Material means the God's true death (Unless Life Source material is a matter or something similar which cannot be broken like Void (Ancestral Dragon's)). For Innate Gods, their Life Source Material is an Innate Divine Object (先天神物), an item higher ranked than a Divine Yuan Weapon. An Innate Divine Object is the true manifestation of their Godhood and their influence on the World. Almighty Sovereign Yuan has two Life Source Material, one is Heavenly Yuan Brush with which he reached God Stage, and the other is Void which he inherited from Ancestral Dragon when he ascended to First Order God Stage.
Gods also have Divine Nature (神性) which influences them to be indifferent to all mortal life except for other Gods, however, this only applies to most innate Gods such as the Sacred God and the Third God, except the First Order Ancestral Dragon. Mortals who cultivate to the God Stage after Almighty Sovereign Yuan's ascension possess a Divine Bone that helps prevent this indifference. Divine Nature also determines the Order of the God and hierarchy.
The Second Order and Third Order also have Divine Eyes (神眸) which looks like the starry sky and indifferent to all life. However this does not apply to the First Order Ancestral Dragon because it is shown that it has the Primordial Chaos Eyes instead of Divine Eyes (Almighty Sovereign Yuan also inherited his Primordial Chaos Eyes and Affinity with the Void) and it cares about all life (except the Sacred Race) as exhibited during the first World Extinguishing War, becoming angry to wipe out only the Sacred God and its Sacred Race.
𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 is the ability that each Order Gods possess but it also varies on of which Order they are God of. This ability grants them control over the World Laws of the Worlds they are God of or the World they are entering. The First Order Gods can not only completely Mend the World Laws of his/her own World but of other worlds too. While the Second can almost completely control the world he is God of and a little portion of other Worlds. The Third Order can't completely control the World Laws of his/her own World but is still capable of destroying or mending some by his/her will as their powers depends completely on the world, they became God in.
