God King

Etymology[]

神王 shén wáng

神 shén = God
王 wáng = King

Description[]

Once a Saint is able to transform their internal Chaos Space into a Miniature Universe, they will be a God King. All of the God Kings on the Continent of Origin achieved their breakthroughs by law comprehension, rather than through the Bloodline Cultivation Method^[1].

Every God King has mastered at least one Major Branch of a Great Dao. With a single thought they can form a complete universe operation rule and create a universe^[2]! God Kings are no longer bound by their external Miniature Universe; even if it is destroyed, a God King can reach the Ultimate God King level if they have sufficient comprehension^[3]. The Divine Body of a God King with an Infinite Divine Body generally has a height of 36 trillion kilometers, while one with a Perfect Divine Body is 180 trillion kilometers tall^[4]. The diameter of their external Miniature Universe ranges between 1 and 10 trillion light-years^[3]. Due to their ability to use the Reincarnation Secret Method, almost all of the ancient God Kings have an Infinite Divine Body^[2].

To reach this realm, one needs to fuse all branches of a 'Way' together.
They will somehow end up at the various Universe Oceans in the next era. To be 'free' from the pre-established time (based on their strength), a Primal Chaos Sovereign needs to emerge from the Universe Ocean in which said God King reside.

First Level God King[]

First Level God Kings (神王一重(Shén wáng yīzhòng)) are beginner (初入神王(Chū rù shén wáng)) or ordinary (普通神王(Pǔtōng shén wáng)) God Kings. The vast majority of God Kings on the Continent of Origin are at this level. First Level God Kings have completely mastered at least one Major Branch of a Great Dao. The strength of a First Level God King can vary greatly. Differences between the Great Dao mastered, how many Major Branches the God King has comprehended to a God King level, how many Great Daos they have comprehended, what inheritances they have practiced, what treasures they possess, or if they cultivated in the Chaotic Origin Bloodline all play a factor. A God King who has only mastered one Major Branch of the Great Dao of the Life Origin would likely be far weaker than one who mastered all branches of the Great Dao of the Time Origin and the Great Dao of the Causality Origin, for example. The most powerful First Level God Kings are even comparable to Second Level God Kings!

Invincible First Level God King[]

Invincible First Level God Kings (神王一重境无敌(Shén wáng yīzhòng jìng wúdí)) are First Level God Kings comparable to normal Second Level God Kings. It is implied that they have mastered all Major Branches of a Great Dao, but have not merged them, and either use exceptional techniques, inheritances, or resources to reach this level. According to Emperor Chu, there are fewer than 20 on the Continent of Origin, and only about 5 of them reached this level without using the Chaotic Origin Bloodline^[5]. They have a higher status than ordinary First Level God Kings and are also called overlords of the Continent of Origin^[6].

Second Level God King[]

Second Level God Kings (神王二重(Shén wáng èr chóng)) are considered powerful, having practiced some extraordinary inheritance. The weakest members of the Two Worlds Palace have reached this level^[7]. These God Kings have completely merged multiple Major Branches of a Great Dao, but have not merged all of its Major Branches into one^[8]. God Kings who have merely mastered all Major Branches of their Great Dao have not reached this level unless they have merged at least two Major Branches^[9]. Second Level God Kings are able to glimpse the Complete Great Dao^[10]. Like First Level God Kings, the strength of Second Level God Kings can vary greatly. The weakest Second Level God Kings would likely have only merged two Major Branches of one Great Dao (other than the Great Dao of the Time Origin), while others have merged all Major Branches but one of one Great Dao, some have merged at least two Major Branches in two Great Daos, some have stronger Chaotic Origin Bloodlines, some have mastered Ultimate God King Techniques, some have Ultimate God King-level treasures, etc. The most powerful Second Level God Kings can even rival Emperors and Monarchs!

Invincible Second Level God King[]

Invincible Second Level God King is a non-canon realm currently assigned to those Second Level God Kings who can rival Emperors and Monarchs. At the start of Swallowed Star 2, there are 5 free God Kings who qualify for this title: Empress of Wind City, Earth God King, Owner of Shadow Heaven, Owner of Mother River, and Fire Ancestor^[11].

Third Level God King[]

Third Level God Kings (神王三重(Shén wáng sān chóng), also referred to as 神王究极(Shén wáng jiū jí), lit. God King Ultimate Level) are the pinnacle of the God King realm. The Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom and the Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom have reached this level, however, only Emperor Qing has actually fully comprehended a Complete Great Dao^[12]. Third Level God King lifeforms have the ability to partially resist Willpower attacks simply through their perfection as a lifeform^[13].

There are three ways to reach this level in terms of life level: 1. Successfully merging all Major Branches of a Great Dao, creating a Complete Great Dao; this is the most difficult way, 2. With the help of a powerful inheritance, while at the peak of Second Level God King, one can comprehend the Ultimate Realm Life Body Secret Method, using precious Chaotic Origin Materials to reach the Third Level, and 3. Using the Chaotic Origin Bloodline and tapping its potential, transforming their body to Third Level God King; this is relatively easy and has a high upper limit, but also great troubles, due to contamination from the bloodline^[12].

Strength[]

A strike from a First Level God King is equivalent to over 80,000 Intermediate Primal Chaos Sovereigns burning their Divine Power to their limits^[14]!
