Half a month passed without notice. During that time, Lynn did not so much as step out of the small courtyard.

His cultivation had also yielded remarkable results. He had already cultivated a fourth clone with the Shadow Clone Technique and was close to forming a fifth.

It had to be said that divine beasts truly were creatures favored by heaven and earth. Other Saint Domain experts could exhaust themselves without even touching the threshold of the Laws.

Yet within Lynn's soul was an innate profound mystery. As long as he comprehended it thoroughly, just as one would Refine a Divine Spark, he could become a god!

Of course, just like refining a Divine Spark, divine beasts had to comprehend those profound mysteries themselves. Someone like Beibei, playful and lazy as he was, still needed fifty or sixty years to become a god despite having a Main God like Beirut backing him and preparing abundant resources for him.

Some divine beasts with poorer aptitude needed hundreds or even thousands of years to fully comprehend the profound mysteries and become gods!

"Creak!"

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and Duke Harrington, whose face resembled that of a lion, walked inside.

"Father!" Lynn rose to his feet.

Duke Harrington had already reached the ninth level. A spirited smile hung on his face. Ninth-level Warriors could live for more than five hundred years, and if they happened to break through into the Saint Domain, they would live forever. Who would not want to live longer?

"Lynn, I wanted to ask you about something. What exactly is this 'momentum' you mentioned? Is it some kind of imposing aura?" Duke Harrington explained why he had come to find Lynn.

Lynn shook his head. "Father, momentum is not an aura. It is Heaven and Earth Momentum. In truth, it is a form of control over heaven and earth, where a person becomes one with the world around them—or, as they say, 'the unity of man and heaven'..."

Lynn paused his cultivation and patiently explained Heaven and Earth Momentum to his father.

"Father, it may be difficult for you to understand through words alone." Lynn looked at Duke Harrington. "Next, I will throw a punch at you. You can carefully sense the mysteries within it... Hm?"

As he spoke, Lynn suddenly frowned and fell silent. He sensed a violent fluctuation in the elements of heaven and earth.

At that moment, it was not only Lynn. Every Saint Magus, Saint Domain expert, and even ninth-level Grand Magus across the Orlando Continent sensed the surging elemental fluctuations. All of them looked northward in uncertainty.

"What happened over there?"

The north was precisely where the elemental fluctuations were coming from!

Lynn's terrifying Soul Power instantly spread out, enveloping the entire Orlando Continent. Naturally, the source of the elemental fluctuations was no exception.

When he saw the scene there, he unconsciously held his breath.

It was an uninhabited ice plain spanning several thousand miles. Yet at that moment, its mountains had shattered, its ice and snow were melting, and energy raged in utter chaos.

Two figures were battling fiercely in the sky.

With every collision between them, space was torn open like paper, split by streak after streak of black cracks!

"It's the Beast God and the Elf King of the Western Continent. They're fighting!"

Lynn quickly recognized the two figures in battle. At the same time, he sensed several unfamiliar Spiritual Senses observing the area. Clearly, the other gods of the Orlando Plane were also watching this great battle!

From the original Coiling Dragon, Lynn knew that above the Saint Domain were Demigods, Midgods, Highgods... and even Main Gods!

In the original Yulan Plane, several wars between gods had caused ninety-nine percent of the land to sink beneath the sea, leaving behind only the small patch of land known as the Yulan Continent.

But that had only been a written description. It could not compare to the shock of witnessing it firsthand.

Lynn murmured, "No wonder they say divine might is like a prison! Even without the Divine Domain bestowed by heaven and earth, gods are still existences that Saint Domain experts cannot contend against!"

"Rumble!"

As the battle between the Elf King and the Beast God continued, the Arctic Ice Plains, spanning several thousand miles, cracked apart completely with a series of cracks, then thunderously sank beneath the sea.

Only then did the two separate with a whoosh, facing each other in midair.

On one side stood the Elf King, with pointed ears, golden hair, and a handsome face. On the other stood the Beast God, ugly-faced and wretched in appearance.

The Elf King spoke calmly. "Since you have become a god, the faith of the Eastern Continent belongs to you. From now on, I will no longer spread my faith in the Eastern Continent."

"Hehe! That's for the best!" The Beast God grinned. "As expected of someone cultivating the Life Law. Your Soul Attack is truly troublesome!"

"That will be all." The Elf King had no intention of responding. He turned into an afterimage and departed.

As he watched the Elf King leave, a bloodthirsty glint flashed through the Beast God's eyes. "Hehe! Once I explore that place..."

"Lynn, what is it?" Seeing Lynn pause with a grave expression, Duke Harrington asked curiously.

Lynn shook his head. "Just now, I sensed violent elemental fluctuations in the north. Perhaps powerful experts were fighting there, but it has already calmed down."

Afterward, Lynn continued guiding Duke Harrington in how to comprehend Heaven and Earth Momentum. He even used his own realm of Heaven and Earth Momentum to manipulate the surrounding space and pressure him, allowing him to experience it firsthand.

However, comprehending Heaven and Earth Momentum was inherently an exceptionally difficult matter. Even after Lynn guided him for an entire afternoon, Duke Harrington still left in a daze.

Several more months passed without notice. Goose-feather snow began drifting through the air once more. Winter had arrived.

Rielmons, who had been unconscious for more than half a year, finally began to change. Under Lynn's watchful gaze, the faint soul aura that had been so weak it was nearly imperceptible slowly began to strengthen.

Like an infant growing up, it steadily grew stronger at a pace Lynn could clearly sense.

It continued strengthening for several months.

Only when Rielmons's soul had become far stronger than it had been before he was injured and fell unconscious did it finally stop.

No Destruction Rule or Flame Element gathered around him. Then, suddenly—

Rielmons's closed eyes opened.

"Who are you?" Rielmons looked blankly at Lynn and the ninth-level Great Light Magus before him.

"Lord Rielmons, my name is Caleb. I am the magus sent by the Supreme Council to care for you!" Caleb hurriedly explained. "This is Lord Lynn, a Saint Domain expert of the Magat Kingdom. He often came to visit you while you were unconscious!"

"Unconscious? I didn't die?" Rielmons quickly recalled the course of the previous battle. So he had not died, but merely fallen unconscious. "That terrifying restraint, and that horrifying Soul Attack! I have no idea how Cicero managed it."

The Beast God's intervention had been extremely covert. Rielmons had never witnessed a god take action before, so he did not immediately connect the force binding him to a Divine Domain. He had assumed it was one of Cicero's ultimate techniques, a hidden trump card.

"How long was I unconscious?" Rielmons asked.

Caleb was about to answer when Lynn interrupted him. "Mr. Caleb, please leave us for now. There is something I need to tell Rielmons privately."

Caleb froze for a moment, then immediately smiled. "Of course, Lord Lynn! I'll wait outside. If you need anything, just call for me at once!"
