Five Years, Becoming a God

Time flies, and five years have passed since Inori.

Noah Continent, Oga Kingdom.

The most elite nobles of the Oga Kingdom reside on Oga Avenue in Oga City, where various magnificent mansions are gathered.

However, there are two mansions that are even more magnificent than these aristocratic mansions, but they are not located on Oga Avenue.

These two mansions are located Oga City. One is the Oga Kingdom branch of the Goblin Merchant Guild, and the other is the Mitchell Duke Mansion.

Today, the Mitchell Duke Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Various luxurious carriages drove out of the Oga City and stopped in front of the Duke's mansion.

Even though the ducal servants did their best to guide the carriages to park in the right places, there were just too many carriages, which still caused a slight congestion.

All the prominent nobles of the entire Oga City have come today.

Today is the wedding day of Alex, the younger brother of the Duke of Mitchell, and Aniya, the only daughter of the Marquis Daniel.

Marquis Daniel is now a member of the cabinet of the Oga Kingdom, holding a high position and wielding great power. He is one of the most prestigious nobles in the Oga Kingdom.

Duke Mitchell, on the other hand, was Saint Realm expert, far surpassing the level of the mortal world.

Today's marriage between the two families is highly valued by all the nobles of Oga City, who have come to offer their congratulations.

At the gates of the Duke's mansion, nobles entered one after another, and each time one entered, a servant at the gate would announce it loudly.

"The Left Prime Minister has arrived!"

"Your Excellency the Right Prime Minister Chancellor has arrived!"

"The Minister of Internal Affairs has arrived!"

In the Duke's mansion's large garden, on the lush, flat lawn, many long dining tables were set up, covered with white tablecloths, and all kinds of precious fruits and delicacies were available.

An orchestra was playing live, and the melodious music flowed through the garden.

The nobles, holding wine glasses, gathered in twos and threes to chat.

Raul and Helen, as the hosts, were busy greeting each and every guest who arrived.

They wore the finest clothing, made from the best materials, each stitch hand-sewn by the best tailors in Oga City and specially customized to their body shape.

They are adapting to the aristocratic lifestyle, but long-standing habits are not so easy to change.

"Welcome! Welcome, esteemed guests!"

At this moment, the two were somewhat flustered in dealing with the most powerful princes and ministers in Oga City.

Fortunately, Marquis Daniel arrived early as well. Marquis Daniel was well-versed in the social dynamics among nobles.

He skillfully received each noble guest, ensuring that no one felt neglected while also behaving in accordance with the guest's rank and status.

"Father, Mother, you must be tired. Go and rest. I'll take care of things here."

Alex was also greeting the guests. He noticed that Raul and Helen looked tired, so he came over and asked them what was wrong.

"No need, what's there to be tired about? Today is your big day, how can we rest?" Raul said, glaring at him.

"Exactly, we're having a great time. I don't want to go and rest!" Helen chimed in.

Seeing this, Alex could only feel helpless. He knew that the old couple had been waiting for their two sons to get married for a long time.

"Alex, where is your older brother? Isn't he coming out today?" Marquis Daniel asked.

Andres did not appear in the garden.

"My brother is still cultivating, but I went to see him last night. He said he would show up before the ceremony begins, but he won't participate in greeting the guests, as he's not good at it," Alex said with a smile.

"Hmph, if he doesn't come out on such an important occasion as your wedding, I'll go and drag him out!" Raul snorted.

Marquis Daniel couldn't help but laugh, "Raul, right now, in the entire Oga Kingdom, only you two dare to do this to him."

Just then, a loud announcement came from the gate, louder than ever before.

"Your Her Majesty the Queen, we have arrived!"

The nobles who were talking in the garden fell silent instantly, all looking towards the gate.

Alex and his companions hurried towards the main gate.

Inori, dressed in palace attire, entered the garden.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The many nobles in the garden bowed in unison.

"Everyone, please stand up. Don't be shy. Today's main characters are Alex and Aniya. Don't let me spoil everyone's fun. Please continue."

Inori wore a gentle smile and possessed an elegant and noble demeanor.

She has been on the throne for five years and has completely taken control of the Oga Kingdom, reaching the pinnacle of her prestige.

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for both our families to attend the wedding," Marquis Daniel said respectfully.

"Both of your families are pillars of the kingdom, so of course I have to come for such an important event," Inori said with a smile.

She glanced around the garden but couldn't find him. She couldn't help but ask, "Where's Andres? Is he not attending his brother's wedding?"

Alex said, "My brother is cultivating. He will come when the ceremony begins."

"Cultivation?" Inori exclaimed. "Your older brother's strength has improved again in the past five years, hasn't it?"

Everyone knew that Andres lived in the Mitchell Duke Mansion. Over the past five years, countless people had come to visit him, some wanting to pay Andres a visit, some wanting to become his apprentices, and others wanting to ask him for help, but they were all turned away.

Andres rarely received visitors, spending his days in seclusion in his small courtyard.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand my elder brother's cultivation either." Alex scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

He is currently only Level Six Warrior, and he knows absolutely nothing about cultivating in the Saint Domain.

Inori smiled and shook her head, not asking any further questions.

Over the past five years, although she has been busy with national affairs, she has not given up her cultivation. Her Battle Qi has continued to accumulate, and she has even mastered the profound mysteries Profound Mystery the "fire element".

Alex and the others were keeping Inori, while the other nobles chatted with people they knew well, tactfully refraining from disturbing her.

Several young noble ladies huddled together around a long table laden with desserts and fruits, whispering amongst themselves.

"Inori Majesty Inori is truly remarkable. She's not even forty years old yet, and she's already Level Nine Expert. I wish I could be like her."

"You should stop dreaming and just find a good man to marry, that's more reliable."

"Hmph, aren't you the same?"

"Sigh, I wonder what kind of man Her Majesty Inori will marry?"

"Why should she get married? Her Majesty Inori is so remarkable, who is worthy of her?"

"I heard that Duke Mitchell is also unmarried and not even fifty years old yet, but he is already Saint Realm expert. He is a perfect match for Her Majesty Inori."

"I think it's impossible. Duke Mitchell used to be Her Majesty Inori's bodyguard. If it were possible, he would have become her long ago. I think, maybe I can become Duchess Mitchell!"

"You?" Several noble ladies stared wide-eyed at their companion who had spoken, their faces full of suspicion.

The noblewoman blushed, but immediately raised her head and said, "What's impossible? Humph, I'll strike up a conversation with Duke Mitchell when I see him! Don't be jealous if I succeed!"

The garden was filled with laughter and chatter as the nobles enjoyed fine wine and food while waiting for the wedding to begin.

Sudden--

"Buzz"

Everyone felt as if something had appeared in the air and looked up.

"What happened?"

Everyone looked in the same direction at the sky, and they all felt a vast and boundless aura descending from the sky, but there was clearly nothing there.

Everyone looked at each other with puzzled expressions, not knowing what was going on. Even Inori was completely confused.

The Mitchell Duke Mansion was very large, with many towering towers and castles. In the garden, everyone's view was obstructed, so no one saw the figure slowly floating up.

It wasn't until a while later that they noticed a Cyan Figure soaring into the air, overcoming the obstruction of the towers and castle, and appearing in everyone's sight.

"Ah, it's Big Brother!" Alex exclaimed first.

"What is Andres doing?" Raul asked, puzzled.

The people present were also whispering among themselves.

Marquis Daniel said, "Shall we go take a look?"

Inori said seriously, "It's better not to. Andres doesn't seem to be in any trouble. If we go and disturb him, it might make things worse. Let's wait and see."

Once Inori spoke, the others fell silent, focusing their attention solely on Andres in mid-air.

Andres was completely unaware of Alex and the others' surprise; he was currently immersed in the joy of his breakthrough.

"I've been stuck at the Profound Mystery of 'speed' for over three years, and I've finally broken through it," Andres thought to himself.

Five years ago, he had already grasped more than 80% of the Profound Mystery of "speed". Later, in less than two years, he reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.

This bottleneck has been holding him back until now.

He has almost reached the tenth level of the fusion of the two Profound Mystery of "fast" and "slow". He originally thought that he would become a god by relying on the Profound Mystery "speed".

Unexpectedly, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration today and broke through the bottleneck of the Profound Mystery of "speed".

The grand Heavenly Law descended, enveloping Andres. The space around him was distorted, isolating him from other areas, and he was uncontrollably suspended in mid-air.

"Is this the Heavenly Law?"

Although he had the memory of the original work, reading the text and experiencing it firsthand were different. This was the first time Andres had personally experienced the Heavenly Law in the Coiling Dragon World.

Andres felt an immense shock as he experienced that boundless, ancient, and strange power.

Faced with this power, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

A special power entered Andres's mind, and all the Law Profundity that Andres had comprehended were seen through.

Above Andres's head, the power of laws Wind Elemental Law converged wildly.

In just a moment, the surging elements of heaven and earth dissipated, and a Black Crystal emitting a pale blue halo floated above Andres's head. It was the Lower Godhead with the wind attribute.

This is Godhead formed based on the soul aura of Andres; the moment it was formed, it became connected with Andres' soul.

In the Coiling Dragon World, there are two ways to become a god. One way is to comprehend the laws and rules yourself. Once you reach a certain level, the Heavenly Law will descend and, based on your soul aura and the laws and rules you have comprehended, condense a Lesser Godhead that is completely in harmony with your soul.

Another method is to refine the Lesser Godhead of others.

Those Becoming a god by refining a divine spark will find it extremely difficult, almost impossible, to break through to the Middle God or Highgod level on their own. They can only continue Refine Divine Spark.

Only those who Independent godhood can attain further advancement.

Moreover, Becoming a god by refining a divine spark means that, since the Godhead belongs to someone else and cannot perfectly match one's own soul, one's strength will be somewhat weaker than Independent godhood.

After the wind-attribute Lower Godhead was formed, the Heavenly Law gave Andres a message, allowing him to choose whether to place the Godhead outside his body or inside his body.

If he chooses to Godhead within his body, the Heavenly Law will transform his body into God Body. From then on, he can only cultivate the Wind Elemental Law, but his soul will not weaken, and his understanding of the Wind Elemental Law will become clearer, making cultivation easier.

If he chooses to Godhead outside his body, the Heavenly Law will condense a Wind Element God Clone for Andres, and his soul will also be divided in two, with one half remaining in his original body and the other half in the Wind Element God Clone.

The weakening of the soul has a significant impact, but the advantage is that it grants an extra life and allows one to continue cultivating other laws and rules.

Andres was well aware of the difference between the two options, and he chose to External Godhood without hesitation.

His goal was to gather the God Clone of the four elements Earth Fire Water Wind, so naturally he couldn't choose to Internal Godhood.

After making his choice, Andres felt a deep, agonizing pain in his soul, and his entire body convulsed and spasmed.

In his mind, above the Spiritual Sea, floated a Seven-Colored Diamond Crystal; this was his soul.

In the Coiling Dragon World, everyone's soul initially has no specific shape. Only when the soul's strength reaches the level of Saint-level Magus will the soul take on a specific form.

Each person has a different path of cultivation, and their soul will take on different forms.

In the original story, Linley's Time Sword Shape, while Andres's is Seven-Colored Diamond Crystal.

Over the years, as Andres comprehended the Law Profundity, his spiritual power also continuously improved, reaching the level of Saint Magus. However, he did not understand magic and could not cast those forbidden spells.

Under the influence of the Heavenly Law, his soul split into two with a "bang," turning into two smaller rhomboid crystals.

Two rhomboid crystals, one of which remained in Andres's mind, and the other flew out of his body and merged into his Godhead.

Then, endless Wind Divine Power condensed into God Body centered on the Godhead.

The God Body wore a blue robe and looked exactly like Andres, except that his hair was blue.

After the God Body was condensed, the special power of the Heavenly Law disappeared, Andres officially became Demigod of the wind element.

"This feels pretty good."

The two "Andres" looked at each other; although they had two bodies, they only had one consciousness.

With a thought, Andres's Wind Element God Clone merged into Andres's main body.

At the same time, in his mind, next to the rhomboid crystal soul, there was a figure in Green-Robed Andres.

"Um?"

At this moment, Andres also noticed the nobles in the distant garden, who were curiously watching them.

He calculated that it was almost time for the wedding ceremony to begin, so he didn't go back to cultivate, but instead flew towards the garden.

In the garden, everyone stared in disbelief as Andres landed.

"Big brother, what just happened? I think I saw another version of you with blue hair, and then you merged back into one." Alex asked, his eyes wide with confusion.

"That is my Wind Element God Clone," Andres said with a faint smile.

"Wind Element God Clone?" Alex didn't quite understand.

Many people present felt the same way.

Only Inori was struck dumb, exclaiming in shock, "Lord Andres, you've become a god?"
