Then he felt a barrier.
It wasn't that his power couldn't continue to grow, but the 'energy' needed for growth was unattainable!
That energy called the essence of the universe, is also why all Dimensional Gods covet the real dimension!
But Eternity will not allow any existence to consume it!
This god placed the Ancient One at the axis of the universe, Earth, to guard this barrier!
On the surface, the Ancient One protects the magical side of Earth, but in reality, it is to prevent Dimensional Gods from invading and consuming the universe's essence!
Li Yang knew he did not have the power to challenge Eternity yet.
However, this body's growth couldn't be stopped!
If he didn't consume the universe's essence to continue growing, he would 'starve'!
Like failing evolution!
Fortunately, there was a way out. In this universe, Asgard's controlled the underworld which wasn't a planet.
It was a dimension on the World Tree, possessing the universe's essence!
As long as he devoured it all, he would become the Dimensional God of the underworld!
Although weaker than dimensions like the Dark Dimension or the Black Magic Dimension!
But at least he could live!
At least he'd be a Dimensional God!
Far beyond what an All-Father or a single being could compare to!
After all, his rank was clearly defined!
Li Yang... or he could be called Balder ⷥLight, darkness (including shadow), storm (including thunder), flame, winter, wisdom, deceit, berserk, earth, sky!
And... divinity!!!
Eleven kinds of divine power!
It almost encompassed all the divine powers that had appeared in the past and future of the Aesir gods!
If Li Yang wished, Thor's, Heimdall's, and even Odin's divine powers could be easily stripped, suppressed, or sealed!
He could be considered the Lord of the Gods of Asgard.
However, there were still limitations to becoming a god using another dimension!
The main body entering the real world is not only difficult but could also be seen as provocation or invasion by Eternity!
As for an avatar...
He guessed it would be fine, and enough to ensure Asgard's rule over the galaxy.
Still, Li Yang felt some discontent.
At this level, he finally understood how vast the 'sky' was!
How powerful strength could be!!
Even among gods, there are vast differences!!
For example, the Crimson Lord Cyttorak, whose domain had long since broken free from the universe of Eternity, making his dimension equivalent to another world!
His power was also quite terrifying!
But now, Li Yang felt he had no chance to keep getting stronger.
For Dimensional Gods to grow stronger, aside from borrowing the power of sorcerers, they either devour other dimensions or consume the universe's essence. There were almost no other paths.
Borrowing sorcerers' power was almost impossible. The ancient gods had long occupied all the 'markets' with little to give back.
Finding an unclaimed dimension was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The easy-to-find ones had been devoured by gods long ago, and the remaining ones might not be found for billions of years.
As for challenging Eternity and consuming the universe's essence...
Forget it, he thought it better to consider how to snatch some market share from the predecessors.
While Li Yang was contemplating how to create magic corresponding to his power, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind!
[Ding!]
[Detected that the host has become a Dimensional God. Detecting host's inner dilemma, the system automatically evolving...]
[Ding!]
[Evolution successful!]
[God of All Worlds System loading.... loading complete!]
ps1:
Many have a misconception, thinking that the Trinity of Vishanti backs the Ancient One, but it's actually the Great God of Eternity.
ps2:
The protagonist did not transmigrate into someone else's body but grew step by step by themselves.
Before Li Yang's transmigration, this body did not exist in any branch of time or any universe within the multiverse.
