Paragon

After telling his father that he had become a god and leaving him alone to process the unbelievable news, Lynn returned to the small courtyard.

Earlier, in his haste to kill the Beast God, he had not even had time to load the "Complete Lightning Element Law" he had won from the lottery.

Now that everything was over, Lynn naturally turned his attention to the "Complete Lightning Element Law" and commanded in his mind, "Help me load the Complete Lightning Element Law!"

"Ding! Loading for the host. Please wait!"

Boom!

A tremendous clap of thunder seemed to resound within Lynn's soul. From head to toe, from flesh to soul, his entire body tingled pleasantly. At the same time, a chill penetrated his heart, like swallowing an ice cream on a scorching summer day.

It was refreshingly exhilarating!

Within his soul, a small tree made entirely of blue-violet lightning slowly grew. A flash of understanding passed through Lynn's mind. This should be the "Lightning Element," one of the six profound mysteries of the Lightning Element Law.

Then, layer upon layer of mist coiled around the little tree. This was another profound mystery. Lightning scattered between the blue-violet branches, and yet another profound mystery emerged...

There were six great profound mysteries in total, clearly distinct yet forming a perfect whole. They gave rise to numerous Fusion Profundities—two-fusion, three-fusion, four-fusion, five-fusion, and even... the most perfect Six-fusion Profound Mystery. All of them appeared within it.

"Not bad. The lottery prizes really are all top-notch!" Lynn smiled. "As long as I can fully comprehend this 'Complete Lightning Element Law,' it means I can become a Lightning Paragon!"

"In the original story, there seemed to be only one Lightning Paragon! Even the Sovereign of Lightning wasn't a Paragon!"

"Unfortunately, although I know there are six profound mysteries here, I have no idea what those six profound mysteries actually are." Lynn silently sensed the differences between them.

He could only barely distinguish that among the Lightning Law's six great profound mysteries, aside from the Lightning Element, Lightning Body Technique, and space, which all elemental laws possessed, the other three were Material Attack, Soul Attack, and speed.

"If I were at a Main God's Castle on a Supreme Plane, I could buy books with detailed introductions to the profound mysteries of each element!" Thinking of this, Lynn became even more impatient to set off for a Supreme Plane.

However, before going to a Supreme Plane, he needed to settle the matters of the Material Plane.

"Once I go to a Supreme Plane, I have no idea how long it will take before I can return! To eliminate all future trouble and ensure Scott and the others' safety, every Alien God-level being in the Orlando Plane must be dealt with!" A trace of killing intent flashed through Lynn's eyes. "As for their Divine Sparks, I should select people from among the Saints close to me to refine them!"

With Lynn's current strength, even if he used his Innate Divine Ability, he still could not kill the Sea God of the Sea Tribe. The other party was the only Mid-level God on the Orlando Continent besides the Plane Guardian.

However, as long as Lynn became a god through the Soul Attack profound mystery of the Lightning Law—

Then, with two Divine Clones and the Divine Domains of two Demigods, he would already be barely capable of contending against a Mid-level God. And if he used his incomparably terrifying Soul Power to unleash Soul Attack, a Mid-level God would absolutely be unable to withstand it!

"Right!" With a flip of his hand, the Flame Element Demigod Divine Spark he had obtained after killing the Beast God appeared in Lynn's palm. "I can first choose someone to refine this Divine Spark!"

Teacher Desman's figure immediately flashed through Lynn's mind. "Teacher Desman cultivates the Earth Element. I wonder whether he would be willing to refine a Divine Spark—and a Flame Element Demigod Divine Spark at that! I'll ask him first!"

As Lynn thought this, his immense Soul Power spread out directly. In an instant, he found Desman, who was flying at high speed several hundred miles away. He did not waste words and said directly, "Teacher! There is something I would like to ask your opinion about!"

"After I killed the Beast God, his Divine Spark also fell into my hands. It is a Flame Element Divine Spark!" Lynn asked with a smile, "Teacher, would you be willing to refine this Divine Spark and become a god?"

"Become a god?" Desman, who had been speeding through the air, stopped abruptly. His heart pounded wildly. "I can become a god?"

Then, Lynn explained all the drawbacks of becoming a god by refining a Divine Spark. Because the Divine Spark would not match one's own soul, it meant one's potential would be severed, and one would never again be able to break through through one's own efforts.

One could only continue refining Mid-level Divine Sparks or High-level Divine Sparks.

Moreover, gods who became gods by refining Divine Sparks were generally much weaker than gods of the same rank!

"...Since this is a Flame Element Divine Spark, refining it would mean that from now on, Teacher Desman, you could only cultivate the Flame Law and would no longer be able to cultivate the Earth Law!" Lynn stopped there and quietly waited for Teacher Desman's response.

Desman said impatiently, "Lynn, I am willing to refine this Flame Divine Spark!"

Refining a Divine Spark to become a god meant that in merely several decades, he would become one of the few strongest beings in the Orlando Plane!

It was like ascending to the heavens in a single step!

If he cultivated on his own, he might not become a god even in a thousand years, ten thousand years, or perhaps his entire life!

After all, there were so many Saints in the Orlando Plane. Yet how many gods were there?

Compared to that, what did the drawbacks of refining a Divine Spark amount to?

Only a fool would refuse to refine a Divine Spark!

"Good! Teacher Desman, since you are willing to refine the Divine Spark, I will send it to you now!" Lynn said with a smile. Just as he had expected, no Saint could refuse the temptation of becoming a god.

After Desman received the Divine Spark and absorbed it into his body with a drop of blood, he no longer concerned himself with worldly matters. He came to the Royal Capital, moved in next to Lynn, and focused wholeheartedly on refining the Divine Spark!

Lynn, meanwhile, immersed himself in cultivation, comprehending the Soul Attack profundity of the Lightning Law within his soul.

During the time he cultivated, all the major human kingdoms were restored. Then, under the coordination of the Supreme Council, humanity's first empire—the Harrington Empire—was established based on the territory once occupied by the Beastmen.

The empire's first emperor was none other than Lynn's father, Duke Pelakos Harrington!

However, from then on, he would be called Emperor Harrington.

The Beastmen who had committed war crimes were either killed or reduced to slaves. Under the Harrington Empire's immigration policies, large numbers of humans also moved into its territory to live and develop.

Whether in the Harrington Empire or the many human kingdoms, the only god they worshipped was Lynn!

Countless golden threads of Faith Power flowed into Lynn's Soul Space, providing some assistance in his comprehension of the Lightning Element Law. Before long, he finally entered the threshold of the Soul Attack profundity of the Lightning Element Law.

Although he had no affinity for the Lightning Law, directly comprehending the law's profound mysteries within his soul was much like refining a Divine Spark. It did not require him to possess the corresponding elemental affinity.
