Loki thought that he was done speaking when he heard the seer say, "Take note that those are only the minimum requirements. Failure to meet any of these four will lead to failure to advance even if the rank 5 cultivator possesses a Divine Metac as their Life Ability and there is a Divine Position receptive to that Divine Metac."
"But aside from the minimum requirements, there are other things that the rank 5 cultivator has to pay attention to that will affect the extent of success and the quality of their Life Fire."
"The most important miscellaneous requirement is the size of the Power Core during advancement. 50 units is the minimum size that can form a Cave Heaven. But the higher the size of the Power Core, the bigger the Cave Heaven will be and the higher the quality of the Life Fire."
"According to calculations, the quality of a Life Fire is equal to Power Core/(1,000 + Power Core) × 100. So someone with a Power Core of 50 units will only have a Life Fire with a conversion efficiency of 4.76%, while someone with a Power Core of 90 units will have a Life Fire with a conversion efficiency of 8.26%."
"Don’t take the difference between 8.26% and 4.76% lightly. After all, that’s an increase of 73.53% from 4.76% to 8.26%. That 73.53% will show up everywhere from the increase to lifespan to sustainable power output and the ability to heal wounds."
"And if you can get a dragon heart, you can double the size of the Power Core to 180 units. That will create a Life Core with a conversion efficiency of 15.25%. It is still a far cry from the 50% that dragons were capable of, but that’s still something."
When Loki heard that formula, he had already split part of his attention to calculate the quality of the Life Fire that he could create now.
The result of his calculation was that with his Power Core of 900 units, he could create a Life Fire with a conversion efficiency of 47.37%. This brought a smile to his face.
Of course, the seer couldn’t see the smile on his face. After all, he was still in the Blessed Heaven World while the seer was outside the world in a small world.
In fact, the seer couldn’t see his face at all. The seer could only hear Loki’s voice in his mind.
Meanwhile, the seer was still talking. He didn’t stop talking until Loki said, "Dragons can only acquire 50% conversion efficiency? Why is that? I thought the size of their Energy Well was in the tens of thousands."
In reply, the seer shook his head and said, "Dragons didn’t have Energy Wells that were tens of thousands in size. That is only a myth."
"According to the confirmed record, they only had a maximum of 1,000 units. That is the hard limit of any lifeform."
Loki nodded, but he still asked, saying, "Why is 1,000 units the limit?"
The seer shrugged and said, "I don’t know. But I do know that the normal limit of ordinary races is 100 units. So humans are not the odd ones out with a limit of 90 units."
"In fact, it can be said that humans are extraordinary compared to other creatures. Dragons are the odds one, and that’s because they were beloved by the world and had their talents supplemented heavily by the blessing from the world."
"It is not as if anyone could reach the limit of 1,000 units. Only dragons could reach it by cheating."
"So it should be considered a good thing that the limit of the size of the Energy Well of an organism is 1,000 units. If not for this limit, dragons would be stronger than they were, and things might have turned out differently even if they lost the support of the world."
Loki nodded before saying, "Please, continue with what you were saying about the miscellaneous factors that affect the success of transforming into a divine being."
So the seer nodded solemnly and said, "The size of the Energy Well also affects the size of the Cave Heaven when it is first made. Usually, the size of the Cave Heaven is equal to the total internal energy divided by 6."
"Therefore, a rank 5 cultivator with a Power Core of 90 units at the peak of rank 5 with energy density level of 20 and a total internal energy of 47,185,920 units will have a Life Fire conversion efficiency of 8.26% and a Cave Heaven of 7,864,320 square kilometers."
This information brought a smile to Loki’s face, but he didn’t stop to dwell on how large his Cave Heaven would be when he finally creates it.
He listened attentively as the seer said, "The second miscellaneous requirement for increasing the quality of the Life Fire and increasing the chances of success is gaining external assistance."
"In my previous sect, the Nexus of Truth Sect provides external aid by allowing their disciples to achieve Level 6 Dao Status. Here in the Four Directions Sect, they offer something called the title of the most useful soldier in the Heavenly Battlefield."
"Those who get that title will have an increase of 50% in their chances of success. There is also the fact that anyone who gets that title will be protected by the sect during their ascension. So anyone who wants to stop them from becoming divine beings will have to pay a terrible price to do so."
This made Loki roll his eyes and say, "Of course, they won’t stop anyone who wants to harm the ascendant. They will only ask for a higher price for standing by and letting it happen. It is typical Four Directions Sect behavior."
The seer didn’t hear this, so he continued to say, "These two miscellaneous requirements are the most important. But the second one isn’t as important as the first one."
