"A rank nurtured by the rules—once refined, it might allow me to grasp a true rule..."
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Baichuan's mind as he muttered, "Unfortunately, I have already reached a certain limit.

Unless I rely on a vast amount of merit, or break through this limit and advance to the Eternal God Realm.
