The Holy Spirit is within Christians, therefore the divine nature is part of the new birth in which God dwells within the recreated human spirit. Furthermore, as partakers of the divine nature, we anticipate to take part in the immortality and incorruption of God. The person who is Holy Spirit indwelt, will, like God, live in the immortal sphere and like Him, and will not be tainted with any corruption. The Christian will live immortally in the incorruptible heavenly realm.
Again, recalling early teaching of KC...everything procreates after it's own kind...species...we are of the God kind....children of God, not figuratively but literally...
