"Heaven and earth possess spirits, and all things possess divinity, the fact that gods have descended is undeniable. Over the long years, they have merged with the Wanggu and become one of the power systems. We should take advantage of this opportunity. We should view all things invaded by the gods as divine materials."
"Just like with alchemy, by incorporating these divine materials into our bodies, actively replacing various parts of our bodies, we can form divine bodies. These bodies adapt to the times and environment. Henceforth, anomalous substances are no longer a deadly poison but rather a nutrient for cultivation. Like spiritual energy, we of the Divine Fusion School call this divine power."
"By practicing in this way, our human race will surely become incredibly powerful. The Immortal Path is broken, so why force it to continue? We have already embarked on our own great Dao! The philosophy and goal of the Divine Fusion School is for humanity, where everyone becomes a god!"
The voice of the Divine Fusion School's school head wasn't impassioned, but the meaning in his words transformed into a storm that rumbled in the hearts of the Imperial Academy students.
Especially the last sentence, "everyone becomes a god," stirred the Divine Fusion School disciples, eliciting strong agreement and excitement.
This was indeed the core of the Divine Fusion School and the reason why the Divine Fusion School was so popular.
Now that it was said by the Divine Fusion School's school head, it felt extremely convincing.
"Ridiculous!"
The Variant Immortal School Head sneered and his voice spread in all directions.
"From ancient times to the present, our human race has experienced glory as well as lows, splendid civilizations as well as looming catastrophes. But no matter what, we have persisted. We are still the human race, retaining our red blood."
"And you, who claim to act for the sake of the human race, have abandoned the body of the human race, abandoned the dignity of the human race. In the end, you will become a grotesque aberration. Rather than saying everyone becomes a god, it is more accurate to say you are becoming vassals of the gods."
"Your method is a method of extermination. Everyone becomes a god, and no one is a human anymore."
The Variant Immortal School's school head was unfazed. This was his belief, and at this moment, his words reached new heights of conviction, causing even the neutral students of the Imperial Academy to waver.
Even Xu Qing took a few more glances at the school head. He didn't expect the other party's words to be so sharp.
Even some of the Divine Fusion School students fell silent and looked at the school head.
The Divine Fusion School's school head didn't speak but looked at the Seventh Prince beside him.
The Seventh Prince raised his brows and calmly spoke.
"Your Variant Immortal School's method is too traditional, stubborn, and conservative. You cling to past glory and refuse to let go. You harbor hostility towards all emerging ideas, especially towards my Divine Fusion School. However, the truth is that the students of the academy are clear-minded; they have their own judgment."
"This is the reason why I chose the Divine Fusion School and also the reason why all the students chose the Divine Fusion School."
As the voice rang out, the Divine Fusion School students agreed. They were the new generation. Although they were respectful of ancient traditions, they agreed more with changes.
Due to the Seventh Prince's identity, his words carried a lot of weight, so some neutral students felt their minds stirring. In an instant, the rainbow light from the Divine Fusion Dao platform shone brightly again.
The Divine Fusion School's school head looked at the Variant Immortal School's school head and calmly spoke.
"Do you see that? This is the reason why your Variant Immortal School declined. The era have changed."
The Variant Immortal school head sighed softly and remained silent.
Regarding the first topic about falsehood, the Variant Immortal School didn't gain any advantage.
After a while, the Principal asked the second topic.
"What is the race's Dao?"
This time, the first to speak was the side from the Divine Fusion School. The one who spoke was the chief disciple.
"In the Wanggu Continent, numerous races exist, with countless beings surpassing a trillion. Our vision must span the entirety of the Wanggu Continent. We should integrate the Dao of myriad races into the Dao of our human race, drawing from their strengths, refining ourselves, and complementing our weaknesses to achieve unprecedented accomplishments."
"The times have changed. We cannot dwell in the past. If we want change, we must change thoroughly. Only then can we truly continue our past achievements while forging new paths forward."
"And what's wrong with everyone becoming a god? We will be the foremost race in Wanggu. We will embrace everything and integrate everything. By that time, we might even call ourselves the divine race, reclaiming the unity of the Wanggu will not be an impossibility. And the fragmented-face in the sky won't bring us disasters anymore; It will bring us blessings!"
"Have you ever considered that the arrival of the fragmented-
face has changed everything, yet life still persists on the Wanggu Continent? Isn't it possible that this is actually an opportunity? Once we seize it, the fragmented-face will transform into our weapon."
When these words rang out, it was as though thunder had streaked across the world, shocking all the students.
However, it had to be said that although it deviated from the traditional doctrines, the statements seemed to hold logical reasoning. In an instant, everyone fell into deep thought.
Among the various forces, some were disdainful, while others pondered.
The Human Emperor stared at the Divine Fusion School with a deep gaze.
The Divine Fusion School's school leader lifted his head, meeting the gaze of the Human Emperor. It was as though the statements spoken by the chief disciple were not truly directed towards the pupils or the Variant Immortal School, but towards the person whose gaze he met at this moment – the Emperor.
When Xu Qing saw this, he fell into deep thought.
As for the school leader of the Variant Immortal School, he laughed angrily.
"Ignorant brat, do you think the race's Dao is just one ideal?"
"That's not it at all!"
"The so-called race's Dao is the soul of the race, its heritage, its ideals, its civilization, and its will, all merged together."
