Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1033 Faith Body, Potential Development

This discovery piqued Lu Li's curiosity about the power of faith, and he summoned his shadow clone to study it carefully.

To be honest, Lu Li wasn't initially interested in fancy things like the power of faith, but he changed his mind starting from the last world.

Most of the humans on the continent of Compassion are absurd, but the hope born from the simple and pure trust of the villagers, even if there are only a few of them, has tremendous power.

In his final battle with his mother, he abandoned the faith of all living beings in him. This was mainly because he was frustrated by the back-and-forth pulling force, and in the end, he used his own power to kill his mother.

However, he also had to acknowledge that the power of faith was a powerful force.

The problem wasn't how much faith power he could collect, but rather his curiosity about why faith power could make him stronger.

The underlying principles are what truly deserve to be studied.

Lu Li would never entrust his power to the masses, but that didn't stop him from figuring out the principle behind how this power benefited him.

After studying the shadow clones, he discovered that the power of faith seemed to be able to shape a person's soul, add color to the true spirit, and even create a truly complete life.

His shadow clone had only been running around outside for a little over a month, but the power of faith that had gathered in his body had already solidified his soul, and he no longer needed Lu Li's power supply to exist in the world.

This is indeed a magical and great power, but there are also things that make Lu Li worry. For example, this shadow clone really has the tendency to condense a new true spirit. At present, the power of faith is still small. If he is left outside for decades, he may become the new Lu Li.

Moreover, he discovered that the behavior and thought patterns of this shadow clone deviated from those of his original self.

The feeling was subtle; if I had to give an example, it was like Lu Li's shadow clone technique, or more like the 'Martial Saint' that people talked about.

In other words, the power of faith not only empowers the goal of faith, but the immense power of faith also engulfs the goal of faith, transforming it into what all beings desire.

The Dragon God once said that gods are not self-proclaimed, but rather people respected by all living beings. But if a person becomes the kind of person that all living beings worship, is he still the same person?

Lu Li finally dispelled his shadow clone, and then the massive amount of faith power surged towards his main body. However, Lu Li did not feel happy; instead, he felt somewhat apprehensive.

After all, he hadn't figured out how the power of faith worked; he only knew that it was a strange thing, a double-edged sword, and he didn't want to live the life that everyone wanted.

But this was indeed a wondrous power, and it would be a pity if it all dissipated. After thinking about it, Lu Li gathered this power of faith on his sword.

Because the Imprisoned Demon is connected to his own soul, it can also accept this power of faith. After the power of faith was added, Lu Li found that the Imprisoned Demon had become even sharper.

It's worth mentioning that after slaying the High Priest, his Demon Prison advanced in rank.

Now that it's a Chaos-level equipment, the rapid advancement of its growth bar surprised Lu Li, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't unexpected.

After all, the High Priest was a ninth-tier powerhouse, and powerful eighth-tier peak explorers had already begun using Chaos-level equipment. It was only natural that his Demon Priest, who had absorbed the High Priest's life force, could advance to the next level.

In addition, his other growth-oriented equipment, such as the Soul Eater, now also has an upgrade path.

Because Aizen has developed an energy conversion device that can convert Zamasu's bioenergy into various types of energy, and Lu Li's Soul Eater Ring grows by devouring alien energy.

As long as Aizen generates enough types of energy, Zamasu can endlessly feed Lu Li's Soul Eater Ring, eventually leading to his advancement to the Chaos level.

The advancement of the Starry Sky Ring falls to the Supreme Kais of each universe. This is why Aizen doesn't want to advance to Supreme Kai, because that's just an empty title. Right now, he's the one who's free to do research all day long, and Er must obey Lu Li's orders to help find various rare metals.

With a large amount of rare star gold, upgrading the Starry Sky Ring will not be difficult in the future.

As for Masked Evil God, there wasn't much improvement this time. The main reason is that what he did was a bit of a contrast. If he had joined the High Priest in slaughtering all living beings, Masked Evil God might already be at the peak of the Chaos level.

Originally, he said that Mask of Evil could only target humanoid beings, making them feel friendly towards him, but non-humanoid races like Piccolo would still find him terrifying, and could provide him with growth through fear.

However, his battle in front of all living beings in the universe was a fusion with Aizen. Lu Ran has a very high charisma attribute, which is the main reason why all living beings think he is a savior and a great person.

Although being praised by all beings is a pleasant thing, Lu Li's Evil God Mask could not be improved as a result. Even the shadow clones he had released before returned with significantly increased charm attributes.

This is the effect of the power of faith. Because what people saw at the time was Lu Ran, they naturally thought that the Martial Saint was a kind and charming person. Therefore, the power of faith made Lu Li's shadow clone even more charming.

Lu Li doesn't accept the idea of ​​increasing his charm; wouldn't that be an epic weakening of his Evil God Mask?

After fifty years of seclusion, Lu Li took a trip to Earth, enjoying some local delicacies. This was partly to relax and partly to increase the growth rate of his Food Collector Badge.

Lu Li recently discovered a peculiar characteristic of this special growth-oriented equipment: even if you eat something unpalatable, it will be recorded on the equipment and a certain growth rate will be given.

So Lu Li told Beerus that whenever he went out for a stroll and a meal, he should save a portion for Beerus, even if it was bad.

The Gourmet Collector Medal is now at the Immortal level, and the bonuses from choosing ingredients are already quite considerable. Lu Li believes that as the level increases, this medal will allow him to select multiple ingredients to provide bonuses, such as simultaneously increasing percentage-based true damage and absolute damage reduction, which would be very powerful.

[The side quest has reached its maximum reward. Pioneers, would you like to claim it now?]

Just after Lu Li had eaten a quirky local snack on the street, he suddenly received a notification from the End Space.

Upon opening the menu, he discovered that the cosmic-level mission had already been completed.

Ironically, Universe 7 was not originally the strongest in terms of overall strength, but because the strongest group of people in Universe 1 and the original top-ranked universes died in battle, Universe 7, whose high-level combat power was well preserved, suddenly became a leading civilization.

At that time, Snow Fox used the Dragon Balls to wish for the resurrection of those killed in Universe 1, but the wish was not perfect. After the final battle, Universe 1 was indeed revived by the power stored in by Shenron, and those humans who were destroyed by the Grand Priest and the aftershocks of Lu Li in the battle were also resurrected.

When the wish was made, the strongest beings in the first universe were still alive. In the end, most of the people in the first universe were resurrected, but the strongest beings did not return.

It's not fair to blame the Snow Fox for not considering things carefully when making her wish. On one hand, the situation was tense at the time, and the Dragon God was about to die in battle, so the Snow Fox didn't have time to think about too many things. On the other hand, if she made a wish for resurrection that was too comprehensive, it could easily have negative consequences.

Ultimately, the universe became what it is today. Aizen's third universe developed rapidly, while the strength of the seventh universe also included Lu Li. Therefore, in this reassessment of the level of universe civilization at the Twelve Universe Supreme Kai Conference, the seventh universe jumped to the first place, while Aizen's third universe became the third place.

After figuring out the whole story, Lu Li went directly to the side quest log to complete the task and claimed the Inheritance Crystal reward.

However, he is currently still in the mission world and cannot use the inheritance crystal directly. He can use it personally, which is not impossible, but the utilization rate is much lower than that of the space, which is too much of a loss.

After traveling in the mortal world for two days, Lu Li returned to the subspace to continue his seclusion. This time, he was preparing to extract the power of the Super Saiyan.

He tried to combine his primal instincts and talents to transform into a higher-level Super Saiyan form, and he succeeded quickly. In just one year, he learned how to transform into Super Saiyan 2.

Three years later, he learned how to transform into Super Saiyan 3.

Now, Lu Li has directly activated Super Saiyan 3, increasing his base strength by 400 times, and his overall attributes have skyrocketed to 280+.
He tried to activate the Kaioken in this state, and under the high load on his body, he felt that he was infinitely close to the ninth level.

However, the barrier in this field is unusually thick. It took him and Aizen fusing and burning their true spirits to break through it. Now it seems that even 20 times the Kaioken is not enough for him to break through this barrier.

When Tianhuang and Daoyan merged, they were in a burst state after the fusion, which barely allowed them to enter the ninth-order domain. Their basic attributes were already 278 points.

Lu Li wasn't in a hurry when he realized he couldn't directly break through to the ninth rank. His original intention was to develop his own abilities and directly transform these explosive potentials into his normal strength.

Regarding the transformation of potential, Lu Li, lacking inspiration, left seclusion and went to the Realm of the Realm King.

"What!? Lord Lu Li, how could I possibly make you stronger? You even defeated the High Priest."

When the Old King God heard Lu Li's request, he spoke tremblingly, mainly because he felt that Lu Li was terrifying in his presence.

If he hadn't known that Lu Li's actions were indeed protecting all living beings in the universe, he would have been terrified and run away.

"It's alright. I just want you to try and see if you can unleash my potential, just like you did to Gohan back then."

Lu Li said that during his seclusion, he found that it was easy to integrate the divine restriction into his own abilities, but it was difficult to integrate the Saiyan power into his normal state.

In the original Dragon Ball Z era, after Gohan's potential was activated, he could have power close to Super Saiyan 3 without transforming into a Super Saiyan. Even today, Goku and Vegeta cannot possess Super Saiyan power without transforming.

Therefore, he felt that the Old Kaioshin's development of potential was mainly a transformation of his own potential explosive ability.

"Well... Lord Lu Li, I'll give it a try, even though there's a high chance I won't succeed."

The old Kaito God spoke tremblingly. He came behind Lu Li, who was sitting cross-legged, and placed his hand on Lu Li's body.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence; it was mainly that he felt Lu Li was already at the pinnacle of strength. Did he really still have potential to be developed?

"what--"

Old Kaioshin placed his hand on Lu Li's body, and after sensing him for only a few seconds, he exclaimed in surprise, his eyes looking as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

The current Supreme Kai Shin immediately helped up the old Supreme Kai and asked with concern.

"How...how could this be...not just the potential for transformation, but even more...black power, it's terrifying!"

Old Kaiō exclaimed in alarm, as if he had been so frightened that he had lost his mind, and kept talking to himself.

Lu Li frowned upon seeing this, and waited a while for the Old Kaioshin to calm down before asking, "What happened?"

"Lord Lu Li, your potential is terrifying, it is unfathomable, and I'm afraid my power is insufficient to interfere with your body and soul."

Sweat streamed down the head of the old Kaiō deity.

"It's okay, give it a try, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Li said that the Old Realm God had only looked at his potential and had not provided any guidance.

Old Kaio God dared not disobey Lu Li's request, mainly because although Lu Li had already told the angels that he was not interested in the position of Omni-King, the gods in the universe already considered Lu Li to be the new supreme administrator.

His hand trembled as he placed it on Lu Li's head, took a deep breath, and began to use his abilities to help Lu Li unleash his potential.

After a few minutes, the old Kaio God was sweating profusely, but Lu Li's aura remained unchanged, leaving Xin, who was watching from the side, anxiously waiting.

Ten minutes later, the Old Kaioshin's hand suddenly left Lu Li's head, his face filled with terror. "I...I saw it again, that terrifying black power, like an abyss, trying to devour me. I can't shake your potential at all."

Lu Li sat there, pondered for a few seconds, and then stood up. "Thank you for your help, but don't worry about it. I still gained something. This is a token of my gratitude."

As Lu Li spoke, he placed a plate of food in front of Xin and the Old King of the Realm, "I need to go back into seclusion while my inspiration is still fresh."

Although the power of the Old Kaioshin had not brought out his potential, Lu Li did not come away empty-handed, because he had carefully sensed the power of the Old Kaioshin and had come to understand the principles behind the Old Kaioshin's ability to develop potential.

Lu Li felt that the reason why the Old Kaioshin couldn't guide his potential wasn't because he was too strong, nor because the Old Kaioshin's abilities were too weak, but mainly because of the strangeness deep within his soul.
