A Circle Of Time

Death is one of the biggest drivers of fear, for almost everyone their greatest fear is death because it is an unknown that no one can answer or at least that is supposed to be the case but in this world people know where they will head after death but are still unwilling to give up their lives so what could be the reason?

Grandpa told me that I have to die 10,000 times to make my soul accustomed to Godhood and thus promoting to become a True God. The criteria are apparently reaching True Nirvana, dying 10,000 times and coming back and then there is a certain purity condition. After training my unofficial ranking has reached 97 but even after training for 2 more years although my abilities have risen and my Divinity is now denser and purer than ever it doesn't increase any further.

Although according to Un-Chan I am probably better in terms of fighting ability but they seem to possess something which would turn the battle to their side rendering me useless and probably that is why I need to be a True God before I have access to some ability that can counteract it.

Divinity is a much more complex energy to master but because of my special abilities my comprehension of it has reached an incredible height which only powerhouses from ancient times have access to but I still can't seem to surpass them which seems like terrible mark on me and my wish for being the strongest. So I don't back down and ask him to do it, he asked me if I am absolutely sure once and then he began the process. The plan is that I will be fighting against him using all of his abilities until I die then I come back and then die again and this would continue till I die 10,000 times and am able to land even a single wound on him.

This is the first time I will be fighting against a God as an opponent and the first one is the calibre of Grandpa which is either the best blessing or the worse curse at the same time. I prepare and then brandish my sword and head after him while protecting my body and trying to attack him at the same time but I couldn't even approach him before I lost consciousness and died of having my body destroyed.I did not even last a second in front of Grandpa, it is honestly frustrating but also reinvigorating that this is the baseline and I can test out my growth against that strong of an opponent without the fear of actually dying and giving my all to it. I raise all of my abilities to their max and use multi-casting to cast multiple different attributes of magic but before I could even cast I died. Looks like I need to find out a way to delay him from killing me instantly and to be able to land a hit.

This location is in my Dimension Home and is affected by 1 minute outside is equivalent to180 days inside it. I was just able to achieve this and decided to check it out, it would help me a lot and even Grandpa was surprised by my rapid growth and the time difference inside my dimension home. Although I can double it to make 1 minute outside as an entire year inside but it is still not stable enough to use with other people. Apparently he has an item which provides a similar time gap but it cost a fortune to acquire it back when he was younger. We both keep doing that and by now I have died more than 300 times but right now I can last till about 10 second's without dying and that is long enough to cast some spells. Like this I keep training against Grandpa and it took 2 days and I have died over a 1000 times by now more than 1/10th is over as we continue.

I turn to my Dragon Emperor form and fight against him trying various strategies to defeat him, although my body and mind were telling me to gain overwhelming power to overwhelm my opponents instead of thinking of easy ways to defeat someone which makes sense but I need to do both to be stronger than anyone.

This really is paying off and the time taken for reconstitution has also reduced by a lot making my come back faster and those attacks are invoking my unique ability which makes me immune to all attacks of that same calibre, while constant thinking of strategies is sharpening my mind and executing those is making my body almost invulnerable.

While doing this my Aura and Divinity have also increased and gotten denser. It really helps facing a much stronger opponent who completely overwhelms you which allows for real growth and experience.
