Chapter 199: The Three Stages of Ascension

He was guiding the spiritual fusion of Hulk and Banner. But who would have thought that not long after the start, an extremely explosive news came.

"You have ascended to godhood? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Gu Yi shook his head and said with a look of disgust: "How long have we been apart? Only half a day! Although you were not weak just now, you are definitely not at the level of being able to ascend to Godhood!"

Looking at Ancient One's face full of an 'I can't accept' expression, Ron didn't get angry, but just released his breath expressionlessly.

Just like Hela and Diana said, Ron's appearance did not change much. When he appeared in front of people, it was difficult for them to notice the changes in Ron. However, his strength and knowledge had reached the level of Ancient One, and any slight changes would be extremely obvious in their perception, not to mention Ron's complete leap in life level.

Feeling the changes in Ron, Gu Yi gritted his teeth:

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable for you! How long have you just been enlightened? You've already ascended to Godhood. This has a very bad impact on your foundation, you know? This will affect your future, you are wasting your foundation. What's the point of being competitive for a while? Is it interesting? You are playing with fire! The right way is to accumulate strength and then make a breakthrough. You are so young and you are trying such a drastic thing. This is not good for you, you know."

As he spoke, Gu Yi took two deep breaths, looked at Ron's nonchalant expression, and his face changed again, and he said:

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not overwhelmed. This kind of thing doesn't matter to me. I won't be easily overwhelmed. But I'm sweating just watching you overdraw your future like this. I know that you're not feeling well. Of course, I'm not making a malicious assumption. Just look at it as a bystander. I won't be overwhelmed. I'm just afraid that you'll regret it in the future. If you're overwhelmed, it will be irreversible. So I suggest that you stop ascending to the Godhood. Of course, it's up to you whether to stop or not. I don't have any feelings. I'm just worried about your future. I won't be overwhelmed that easily..."

"..."

Ron quietly watched Gu Yi's output for a while, without saying anything, but just smiled awkwardly but politely, and then said, "Okay."

Ancient One: "..."

Although it was a bit of a performance, the surprise in Ancient One's eyes when he looked at Ron now was not fake.

Ancient One knew of Ron's ability. In Ancient One's view, Ron's ascension to God was a foregone conclusion. For ordinary life, it was very difficult to complete the ascension to God. The difficulty was not only the improvement of strength, but also the difficulty of cognition, thinking, vision, and many other materials.

These difficulties had little impact on Ron. The reason for this was that, in addition to the World Tree's store system being able to stably and effectively provide a large number of items needed for the Ascension Ceremony, there was also Ron's origin - not the current Marvel world, nor the previous Yharnam, but from the root world of the tree's heart.

Simply put, my grandfather from the capital, whose ancestors were from the Plain Yellow Banner, followed the first gunshot in Lanchang and walked the 25,000-mile Long March. They had a group photo taken on Mount Jinggang, and he grew up within the second ring road of the military compound. He was one of the first batch of people to go into business and earn foreign exchange.

With this identity, as long as there is no problem with one's thoughts, becoming a god is not a problem; not becoming a god is a problem.

In a word, why don't you let me ascend to God? Don't force me to think that there is something wrong with your ideological awareness.

But the problem is, you were promoted too quickly. How long have you officially joined the World Tree? A few months at most, and right at the beginning you were given an independent and powerful department, but now the department is not even full, and you are getting promoted again? How can there be such a little comrade who can show off so much?

Thinking of this, he looked at Ron and said with disgust:
"We in Kamar-Taj are places where we can realize our life value and find the meaning of life through hard study and practice, so as to serve the people of the world and seek the well-being of our families. If you want to get promoted and make money, please go elsewhere. If you are afraid of death, please don't enter this door!"

"Tsk." Hearing this, Ron sneered and said, "Do I need to come here if I want to get promoted and make money?"

"NTMD......"
Pointing at Ron, Gu Yi couldn't help laughing: "NTMD..."

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife. Look, after pointing at Ron for a long time, Ancient One still couldn't say anything in the end, and could only give a thumbs up after a series of NTMD.

"You're good, you're awesome. I admit that you're being so pretentious this time. Tell me, why did you come to me?"

After the opening greetings, Ron asked his own questions. While expressing his doubts, he also repeated the suggestions given by Hela and Diana. In response, Ancient One nodded thoughtfully and then said:
"As for ascending to godhood, I have no actual experience... but even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Among the dimensional demons I have seen, there are indeed many who are similar to you, and there are also many who are similar to you but completely different in status."

Having said this, Ancient One thought for a while, then put his hands together, and along with the appearance of the tiger talisman, the female Ancient One who was teaching Banner to practice on the other side closed her eyes - the female Ancient One was better at teaching, while the old Deng Ancient One mostly acted as an assistant teacher.

And now, the two Ancient Ones merged into one, opened their eyes, looked at Ron, and after a moment of silence, they simply stretched out their hands.

"……what?"

Ron became alert.

In response to this, Lao Dengguyi showed a look of deep disgust on his face.

"Bring out the Sphere of Agamotto and the Warlock's Eye! I can feel them!"

"No! This is given to me by Odin!"

Ron refused to pay such a high price - the knowledge of ascension can be gathered sooner or later, but Agamotto is an ancient supreme wizard who has completed ascension a long time ago. As for the level of this thing, it looks nothing, but in the magic world of American comics, it is definitely second only to the Book of Vishanti and the Dark Book.

And in certain aspects, such as the prediction of future crises and the exploration of the illusion world, the cooperation between the Warlock's Eye and the Sphere of Agamotto is even more powerful than things of the same level as the Book of Vishanti!
"I'm just taking a look!" Seeing that the blackmail failed, Gu Yi showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, and then he also said in a high-sounding self-deception:
"I'm not interested in this thing. I just need it to read the notes of the Supreme Mage from ancient times in order to find the answer you want!"

Do I need this to see Agamotto's Mage's Notebook?
After a moment of silence, Ron clapped his hands and said, "I see. You also want to take this opportunity to learn Agamotto's unique forbidden magic, right?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Gu Yi blinked and smiled awkwardly but politely: "Hehe..."

"make a deal!"

Ron took out the Warlock's Eye and the Orb of Agamotto and handed them to Ancient One. "It's a pleasure to work with you! But you have to pay next time!"

"Humph! You don't even know how to repay a favor!"

There was a look of deep disgust on his face. He stared at Ron for a while, and when he found that Ron was not shaken at all, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction, then held up the Orb of Agamotto and the Warlock's Eye in both hands and began to check.

After a moment, Gu Yi opened his eyes thoughtfully and said, "I found relevant records, but the answer you want may be different."

"Let's keep talking."

Nodding, Ancient One said: "The ascension ceremony represents the elevation of the life level. The ascension is divided into three stages. The first stage is like you, officially starting the ascension ceremony and mastering the divine power. But the god in this state can only be a demigod to be precise. Compared with mortals and superpowers, it just masters more down-to-earth power."

"In this state, you are still affected by the inherent time and space, and even the existing rules. What Diana Hela and the others said about seeing through the laws behind everything is about breaking free from the rules of the World Tree itself and becoming a free individual who is completely independent in terms of physical entity, spiritual energy, and even way of thinking."

"To truly become a god, one must master the laws behind everything and condense one's own godhood. In each of these three stages, there will be corresponding gains from the ascension. But I don't know what these gains are, how to master the laws, and then use these laws to condense the godhood. "

“Or rather, no one knows.”

Ancient One said:

"Agamot, the supreme wizard ancestor of the Kamar-Taj lineage, has completed his ascension to the gods, but has not yet condensed his own godhood. He has only seen through the laws of all things. But I don't know what the real laws he has seen are, and what kind of godhood he has condensed. Because according to the records in the notebook, no one's ascension ceremony is replicable and unique. We can only learn from it, and completely study it... and can only become the servants of the pioneers on this road to ascension to the gods."

"I see……"

After hearing what Ancient One said, Ron nodded thoughtfully.

Although Ancient One did not give an accurate answer, but with the leap in thinking and the vast perception brought about by the official start of the ascension ceremony, Ron has more or less realized how he should master the laws of all things... No, not the laws of all things, but the melody of all things.

In a trance, Ron seemed to see a shortcut.

The ascension to the gods is divided into three stages.

The successful opening of the ascension ceremony represents the completion of the first stage. The second stage is to master the laws of all things, the full saint. The third stage is to use your knowledge and understanding of the laws to condense your own godhood, the full poem.

The shortcut was none other than the piercing noise that was heard when the ascension ceremony began. The strange order maintained the chaos of the noise, which made people feel creepy and disturbed. Ron's subconscious told him that as long as he understood the world in the way of this sound, he would soon be able to complete the second stage of ascension to the god - the All Saint.

But now it seems... there is no doubt about it.

If I really follow the music of that harsh noise to understand it, then when I enter the second stage, that is when I become the other party's follower - just like Ibitas, the daughter of the universe, as an ancient god, she is both a superior and a follower.

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but laugh.

In the past, I, and even most hunters in Yharnam, viewed the superiors and their followers as two different levels of existence. But now it seems... obvious that the two are not actually in conflict and can exist at the same time.

Thinking of this, Ron nodded, and then said to Ancient One in front of him: "I almost understand. Next, we need to consolidate the foundation of the Ascension Ceremony, so we won't dawdle here."

Ron turned around and opened the portal to Helheim, saying, "The Sphere of Agamotto and the Warlock's Eye are temporarily with you. You can check them anytime you want."

"There is such a good thing?" Gu Yi was not happy. Instead, he touched his chin hesitantly and said, "What is your purpose?"

Seeing that Ancient One was so familiar with his own habits, Ron's lips curled up into a bright smile.

"We agreed that this is a transaction, so I have set a free time. When the free time is over, based on your reading comprehension speed, it's not too much to charge you one system coin per minute, right?"

"That's too much!" Gu Yi blew his beard and glared:

"Do you think that Archmage Agamotto's codex can be memorized and understood slowly like a primary school student's homework? A fingernail-sized arcane energy track on it can be converted into data that can directly fill up a 200TB hard drive! It's one dollar a minute, why don't you charge ten dollars a minute? I can't understand it anyway!"

"Then it's one dollar for five minutes, no less!"

"You're smart!" Gu Yi muttered and put away his bargaining expression.

"But the free time has already started. Thirty seconds have passed while you were bargaining."

"Fuck! You're such a black-hearted person!"

Hearing this, Gu Yi curled his lips in dissatisfaction, then turned to Banner and said, "You should meditate as I taught you first. If you don't know how to do it, go ask the king in the next room. I have some things to deal with now, and I don't have time to divide half of my soul to teach you!"

As he spoke, the Ancient One rolled up the Ball of Agamotto and the Eye of the Warlock, and took out the Eye of Agamotto from the Supreme Treasury with his hands. With a wave of his hands, dense golden spells appeared around him, and then he disappeared from this space and entered the mirror realm to comprehend and read.

Seeing that Ancient One had left to attend to his own business, Ron also added 30 seconds to the free time, then turned back to Helheim and summoned the system panel:

"Search, keywords, the mission world that can stabilize the ascension ceremony!"
