After collecting dragonblood from the Tyrant Dragon and Triceratops, Zhou Tong continued cultivating as turmoil gathered over a vast magic crystal mine in the Baruch Kingdom. Linley brought him to a hidden chamber inside the mine, where Zhou Tong discovered a way to fuse the Fire Element Law with the Destruction Rule.

• Linley defeated the Tyrant Dragon and Triceratops and collected several drops of their dragonblood, while Zhou Tong urged the beasts to focus on comprehending the Mysteries of Law.

• Zhou Tong urged Linley to protect the Destruction Rule cultivation site and warned that the Baruch Kingdom might lose a war against the Churches.

• Faen warned Linley and Zhou Tong not to fall behind, and Zhou Tong silently judged Faen's spiritual power to be weak.
• Beirut showed the group the Graveyard of Gods and identified Ba Serpent, a mature mid-level god, as the leader guarding its first eleven floors.
• Beirut explained that divine sparks and corpses appeared from the eleventh floor onward, warned that the floors beyond the eleventh were far more dangerous, and said Ba Serpent might be asleep or awake.

• Beirut opened separate passages for human Saint-level experts and magical beasts, told them they could leave after ten years, and watched as the experts entered the Graveyard of Gods.

Zhou Tong became an earth-attributed lower god, leaving his divine spark outside his body so he could continue cultivating other laws. After completing his Divine Avatar and testing his divine power, he decided not to spend time nurturing an ordinary battle saber into a divine artifact.

• Zhou Tong’s earth-law comprehension was revealed during his becoming a god, while the Reincarnation Mirror’s mark kept his former-world memories concealed.
• Zhou Tong left his earth divine spark outside his body, and the laws of heaven and earth split his soul to form a Divine Avatar.

• The laws of heaven and earth condensed a divine body for Zhou Tong, completing his ascension as an earth-attributed lower god.
• Zhou Tong tested his Divine Avatar’s rapid draw of earth divine power and briefly used it to strengthen one of the collected battle sabers.
• Zhou Tong stopped nurturing the saber because improving it would take too long and its material could only produce a lower divine artifact.

Zhou Tong investigated why he had not transformed into a Sky Horn Ant after becoming a god, then discovered that four fused types of divine power triggered the change. He completed his transformation into a giant golden Sky Horn Ant, whose aura terrified the Abyssal Blade Demons on the eleventh level of the Graveyard of Gods.

• Zhou Tong transformed into a Sky Horn Ant, and Beirut recognized his body’s immense strength.
• Half a month later, golden energy transformed Zhou Tong’s soul, and a Sky Horn Ant phantom merged into him.
• Zhou Tong activated Berserk, boosting his strength enough to rival a Five-star Demon’s combat power despite being a lower god.
