Lynn Becomes a God

Watching Caleb leave and close the door, Lynn's vast Soul Power instantly enveloped the entire room. This way, not even a Highgod could know what was happening inside.

Seeing the confusion in Rielmons's eyes, Lynn said calmly, "Rielmons, during your battle with Cicero earlier, you know what happened at the very end, don't you?"

Although Rielmons was puzzled, Caleb had already told him that Lynn had often visited him while he was unconscious, treated him, and provided him with many conveniences. He nodded. "My final move should have killed Cicero outright, but he suddenly used his ultimate trump card. He dodged my attack, and at the same time, his Soul Attack hit me. I lost!"

"It seems you still don't know what truly happened at that moment." Lynn shook his head. "You didn't lose! That Beast God of the Beastmen interfered in the duel. He bound you with his Divine Domain, preventing you from attacking Cicero. At the same time, he used a Soul Attack on you, causing you to undergo Soul Mutation and nearly die!"

"The Beast God interfered?" Rielmons was stunned. "So that was a Divine Domain."

Lynn nodded. "That is why you survived. My advice is that you stop challenging the Beastmen of the Saint Domain. Your best choice is to conceal your identity and study the Path of Destruction until you become a god!"

"You cultivate the Path of Destruction, which excels most at slaughter. After your Soul Mutation, your Soul Power is more than ten times stronger than an ordinary person's. Once you become a god, your combat strength will far surpass that of ordinary gods!" Lynn looked at Rielmons. "That will be the time for your revenge!"

"Revenge..." Rielmons nodded. He was merely arrogant, not foolish. Naturally, he understood that Lynn was right. No matter how conceited he was, he would not think himself capable of challenging a god now. "Right, you said I underwent Soul Mutation. What is that?"

"Soul Mutation is an extremely rare occurrence in this world. Those who survive it are even rarer!" Lynn explained calmly. "As long as one survives Soul Mutation, one's Soul Power will generally become more than ten times that of others at the same level. At the same time, one can use the mutated laws together. You should now be able to use both the Path of Destruction and the Flame Element. Once you become a god, you can even use fused divine power..."

After telling Rielmons all about the benefits of Soul Mutation and the details of their previous battle, Lynn left, leaving him alone to quietly contemplate his life.

As for himself, he returned to the ducal residence. Since Rielmons had already awakened, there was no need for him to keep watch any longer.

That night, Rielmons came to the ducal residence to visit Lynn and revealed where he intended to go. "I've decided to cultivate in seclusion at the South Pole Icefield. Until I become a god, I will never return to the Orlando Continent!"

The South Pole Icefield lay deep within the South Sea, where the planar teleportation array of the Orlando Plane was located. It was covered in ice and snow year-round, and the temperature was so low that ordinary lifeforms could not survive there.

Of course, precisely because of this, it had become a paradise for many ascetics seeking to temper themselves.

Many Saint Domain experts who had vanished from the Orlando Continent were thought to have gone to the Supreme Planes. In truth, they had merely secluded themselves in the South Pole Icefield to cultivate.

"In the Supreme Planes, even gods can easily die, much less Saint Domain experts." Lynn warned Rielmons. "Before becoming a god, don't go to the Supreme Planes!"

"Alright!" Rielmons nodded, indicating that he understood.

Rielmons was a man of swift and decisive action. After bidding Lynn farewell that night, he did not even stay for another evening. Once he left the ducal residence, he rose into the air and flew toward the South Sea.

"Rielmons has left. It's time for me to leave as well!" Lynn watched Rielmons's departing figure and thought to himself.

During this time, he had cultivated the Shadow Clone Technique and produced dozens of clones. He was not far from completely comprehending the profound mysteries of the Shadow Clone Technique. In other words, he was about to become a god!

However, Lynn did not intend to become a god on the Orlando Continent.

To avoid giving that Beastman Beast God a chance to flee or retaliate against humanity, he would become a god at sea. Once he did, he would immediately use his powerful Soul Power to conceal himself and kill the other party!

In Duke Harrington's study, Lynn told his father that he intended to go out and temper himself once more. "This time, I should return within half a year. During that time, if the family encounters any hardship, Father can ask Teacher Desman for help!"

"Go without worry!" Duke Harrington, lionlike in bearing, nodded slightly. "To the Harrington Family, you are the most important one—even more important than I am. The stronger you become, the greater the help you will bring to the family!"

"Alright, Father!"

Early the next morning, Lynn rose into the air and flew eastward. He sped onward, leaving the Orlando Continent, then continued flying east across the sea for tens of millions of li before finally landing on a deserted island.

"I'll cultivate here and take the final step!" Lynn carved out a cave dwelling in the island's cliff face, then entered it directly.

This place was tens of millions of kilometers from the Orlando Continent, far beyond the range of the Spiritual Sense of the gods currently within the plane. Within the range of his own Spiritual Sense, apart from some sea-region magical beasts, there were only several Sea Tribe settlements that did not even have high-level warriors.

The Sea Tribe's main base was actually in the west of the Orlando Continent, and that Sea God's lair was also deep within the West Sea.

"I'll break through and become a god here! Although the descent of the Heaven and Earth Law will still be noticed by every god in the Orlando Plane," Lynn thought to himself, "they are too far away to know who became a god. That achieves my purpose."

Within the cold cave dwelling, Lynn sat cross-legged, continuously comprehending the profound mysteries of the Shadow Clone Technique within his soul.

One clone after another split off.

Forty, fifty, sixty...

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

The number of clones in the cave dwelling continued to rise until, finally—

"It's here."

As though enlightenment had struck, Lynn naturally felt something in his heart... He clearly sensed that he had crossed some sort of boundary. This was the boundary between the Saint Domain and the Divine Domain.

Lynn opened his eyes and looked up!

"Buzzz~~~"

A vast power that shook the soul suddenly descended, completely enveloping Lynn. The space around him twisted, as though separating him from the surrounding area. His entire body directly floated into the air.

The boundless Heaven and Earth Law had descended.
