Can't wait for the heavenly nepo baby to suck up to us once we reach godhood
My modded all hundred stats getting a hundred qi infusion, I'm genuinely gonna be moving like one punch man
No blocking, no spells, no dao just hands
Let's see jiangjhu ignore me then
I just put that for dramatic effect, we have author statements about it and Nicky's writing is not that dogwater. I just imagine Wu Heir as an op version of Kratos
Long Chen doing all this just to disappear is crazy, but at the same time he's a xiantian and could solo the arena top 10 by himself
Not to rush dear Niki but he should hurry up and get to Wu xiantian already, though admittedly even an early xiantian Wu Heir would need shangtians to get called and we only have so few of those
Brother, I still need like 2400 Qi strands before I reach perfection. Tang Wei will take a **** inside my soul if I don't get there by the time I build my foundation. Xiantians can wait.
Hundred infusion? I hope your qi reserves keep up otherwise...
Till Immorality? Man she is already falling off. You are right about Ruo being unable to reach Godhood due to the physique and needing to restart cultivation if she forcefully removes the Physique (It's basically confirmed). A Dao Child Physique gets less powerful whereas COP gets stronger and stronger. A Dao Child physique is buns compared to COP but Ruo is not an average Dao Child but then again we are also not the average COP. I think Nicky will retcon that statement of keeping up till Immorality because we already have future rivals like Yue Yan and Yue Fang who are around the same talent. Nicky confirmed that on a talent scale of 10, Ruo is a 10, Yan is a 9.5 and Fang is a 9.9. Whereas Wu Heir is f*cking IMMEASURABLE, Not 10, Not 100, Not even Infinite, beyond the concept of measurement itself. Not Nicky can comprehend talented he is. The only way to compete against wu heir is through nepotism, better teachers, better resources etc.
Three things mainly define a cultivator's strength, Talent, Resources and Time. Wu Heir is Immeasurablly talented but lacks time and resources. Since wu heir mogs everyone in talent, his rivals need to have better resources like Yue Fang and Yue Yan to stand against, Ruo with her luck can also compete but as our cultivation increases, the power of COP will become too much to handle for any rival. The only way to challenge a COP user is by fight a cultivator of a higher realm.
And they still will fail to keep up
I want to make ruo concubine of mc's harem when wu shen becomes god
Propobaly even reaching there won't be needed
Just immortality stages
Thats actually how he went out?
I think everyone would respect it if Tiger Niko died after becoming the strongest man alive for 3 seconds.
Apparently, even that isn't enough. My friend recently told me that there's another reason why Ruo can't attain godhood: Dao Children understand the Dao in the "wrong" way.
The explanation he gave me is confusing, but from what I understood, Dao Children don’t really understand their Dao on their own; they are completely guided by the Heavens. Therefore, when they reach Immortal, their Dao is identical to that of the Heavens, and to become a god, the individual needs to become their own Dao or something like that—and one cannot become the Heavens.
Note: This second part is an interpretation of someone else’s explanation of Nicky’s confusing and vague explanation; only the first part is a straightforward statement.
Strange, the thing about Heavens not being able to access Human Daos was retconned them? Because Sword Dao is a Human Dao.
Yes, as LB said, until Immortality your Dao isn't yours, when you reach Immortality and pass through the Dao Merge you become the vessel for what's, now, your Dao. And Godhood is to embed the very Dao as yourself.
Anyway, can you send the print? Niki basically just confirmed that in Dao Comprehension, to what regards Sword Dao, Ruo is roughly on par with Wu Heir(As COP is said to be "As strong, if not stronger" so ≥).
But as Ruo has the Sword Heart(Or it was Sword Physique?) I'd say that, MAYBE, Ruo can be better than Wu Heir in swinging swords. Just maybe.
This is actually kinda cool narratively.
Godhood from what I understand in the Nikiverse is the ultimate expression of your own Will. The Will to defy the Heavens and their rules, the Will to free yourself from the shackles that were imposed upon you from birth. That's why it makes sense that Gods are all more or less equal to each other power wise - because they all reached the apex of personal Will.
And Ruo is the exact opposite - he has almost no personal Will. He was imbued with power because for the purpose of another (Yichen), he was raised to be a vessel for the Will of the Empire (Yichen) and struggles extremely when he has to form his own opinion on something. It even matches up with his 'weak' soul comparative to the Wu Heir, even without Iron Will. And the Dao Child physique/fate is the ultimate expression of that.
He is strong not because of his own Will but because he is a vessel for the Will of the Heavens and more intrestingly - Yichen, who is the complete opposite. He denies the Heavens and his lifespan with sheer Will and desire to complete his vision, has that Soul effect that he projects even without using his IE, and if he was a cultivator he would also be a prime candidate for Godhood down the line I think.
So while Ruo is a very powerful chess piece that can move in any direction its player needs it to, the Wu Heir is both the player and the chess piece, allbeit less powerful in the beginning.
The way I see it is there's a high chance Ruo might actually starts to develop their own autonomy and opinions either in the end of this book or during the second one which will eventually lead to him losing his physique and pave the path for him to finally be the ruler Yichen wanted him to be while also giving him a great excuse to restart at the beginning but as a proper sword cultivator (before you ask no, I am not a Ruo glazer but even I have to admit it'll be sick character development and a great way for Ruo to still be relevant in the future).
Could be true, though I'd say it's highly player dependent whether that happens or not. Maybe Niki will write a spin-off with Ruo as the MC after he loses his physique and has to cultivate.
On one path it'd be good for this bum to be stuck at shangtian and die a nobody, on the other I also believe Nicky is planning something like this with Yang Gan being the catalyst. Dunno about him resetting though. This loser couldn't reach PH in 3 years, you think he'll ever be relevant after resetting?
Then again, in a few weeks the war arc will genuinely start with outsiders of all sorts coming in. (Unless Tang Wei has prepared a second set of defense or whatever just in case) So things could get very interesting indeed
Wouldn't he get a new physique in that scenario? With the help of outsiders on starting out real cultivation and a possible new op physique to his name (you gotta know if he's ever going to get a new physique it'll be some bs named "the sword dao of creation" or smth) he has a decent chance to get strong fast in the second book
If Ruo starts from scratch AND catches up to us by getting outside support, it'll be really funny ngl but I'll also be seething. Imagine he gets Yue support but they actually invest in him because they believe in him
I'm also conflicted on him becoming a cultivator, because he'll actually be the peak of what Inner Energy is capable of if he stays a martial artist and I kind of want to see that. But I guess Yichen will have to fulfill that role instead.
I cannot ****ing believe I'm seeing Toa Ngghh in the Choice of Mods Forum PoMA thread
It's a small world
