Surging Strength, Rule Rings

Han Li picked up the necklace and examined it carefully.

It's not quite a necklace; to be precise, it's an inlaid silver diamond-shaped scale.

Han Li's expression was somewhat strange. These should be the scales of Gu Yue's true form, right? They're even reverse scales, and they have a strong Dragon Might on them, which means they represent the identity of the Silver Dragon King? Oh no, I've become Tang Wulin! Han Li jokingly said to himself in his heart, and casually put the necklace away.

This necklace was made long ago, or at least it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Han Li wasn't so narcissistic that he thought the other person had fallen for him after just one accidental God Soul connection.

Adding to Gu Yue's previous words, she had already prepared for death if she failed, so could this be considered a token of entrustment? I just wonder if Di Tian, this older baby, counts?

Putting these thoughts aside, Han Li began to formally examine his gains.

His divine power has been enhanced, and once it stabilizes, it will not be weaker than Gu Yue's. However, it is still in the process of integration and needs some time to digest.

As for his Godly Body, the progress has reached over 90%, nearly doubling, which is much higher than he expected. Moreover, since his divine power was also transformed by absorbing the Gu Yue's divine power, his body seems to be slowly evolving into Elemental Body under the influence of the divine power.

In the Divine Realm of Douluo Continent, the Godly Body doesn't seem to be of much importance, but Han Li still values it highly. He abandons the physical body and focuses on cultivating the divine God Soul, with the Godly Body composed only of divine power. No matter how you look at it, it feels so awkward.

Moreover, the evolutionary path of the Douluo Continent is different from that of the Divine Realm. He is unwilling to give up his own body. Otherwise, wouldn't all his previous efforts to strengthen his body have been wasted? Compared to divine power and Godly Body, Han Li God Soul has undergone the greatest changes.

Han Li has always placed great importance on improving his Spiritual Power. He has been using the Faith Power to enhance his Spiritual Power since a very early age. He also has three External Soul Bone on his head that are constantly evolving as his strength increases.

This accident allowed him to directly transform from a soul to God Soul through the fusion of God Soul, and also significantly improved the quality of his God Soul. Even if he couldn't compare to Gu Yue, he wouldn't be far off. Unlike the Godly Body, which relies on the slow nourishment of divine power, the God Soul directly underwent a metamorphosis.

Looking at the power of rules manifesting on the surface of his God Soul, Han Li couldn't help but lick his lips. Although he was initially resistant, given the current situation, he might be able to turn the tables and take the initiative if given the chance again.

Gu Yue, putting aside the troubles she brings, is really refreshing.

Ice, fire, space, and darkness, contrary to what Gu Yue said, were not something that needed to be gradually comprehended. With his sufficient capacity to withstand them, they had already been completely imprinted on Han Li's God Soul.

The three rules of wind, earth, and light are also beginning to take shape. After Gu Yue demonstrated them one by one, Han Li, who can directly see the power of the rules and has further improved his affinity with them, will only have a matter of time before he develops and controls them.

Of course, the biggest takeaway wasn't that, but rather...

Han Li extended his right hand, a green light emanating from his fingertips— the Creation Power, one of the most fundamental forces in this universe. Compared to other conventional laws, this was the true weapon of mass destruction, one of the two laws of creation, the other being the Destruction Power.

Then, he raised his left hand. Unlike before, this time the golden Luck Power fortune was not untouchable, but instead transformed into threads that kept jumping in his hand.

The new rules—no, that's not quite right. The Fate Rule are the most fundamental logic of the Luck Power. They exist everywhere, but no one has ever controlled them. Even the Divine Realm only focuses on applying the surface -Luck Power.

Han Li cannot fully control it either. At present, he only has the highest authority. Perhaps he will only become the controller after he truly merges with the Godhood Shard Fate Rule.

Time reigns supreme, space is paramount, Destiny is undeniable, and cause and effect reign supreme.

This is one of the most widely circulated sayings on the internet in Han Li's previous life, and it is also the underlying theme of some fantasy novels.

Although Douluo Continent is jokingly referred to as the sewer, it is still a fantasy world, and the weight of the word "Destiny" is never light, no matter where it is.

Moreover, what happened to him was enough to prove it, which is why he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he realized what had happened.

In the subsequent tests, even with their God Soul intertwined, Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King at the peak of the First Level God, was completely unaware. It was as if he had stepped out of the scene and was observing everything from the perspective of an outsider, which was enough to prove the power of the Fate Rule.

If Han Li was originally planning to use the time-stopping power of Ice Fire Two Elements, with the assistance of the Plane Consciousness, to achieve a trinity and ascend to godhood, then now, without a doubt, he has a better option.

All of this was the choice of Steins Gate of Fate!

He wasn't sure if this choice would affect his own combat strength, but he was certain that he would become the most troublesome one.

By discussing defeat before even mentioning victory, he would first establish himself as invincible, which is more in line with Han Li's character.

Moreover, looking at the Creation Power in his hand, Han Li's lips curled up slightly. Perhaps he wasn't lacking in combat power, if his idea was correct.

It's a bit too far for him to do right now, so Han Li quickly gathered his thoughts and the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow appeared in his hand.

As Han Li's Martial Soul, its changes are also very obvious. If the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow could still be seen as Martial Soul before, after its reappearance this time, it is still magnificent. Although it is clearly constructed from divine power, it looks more like a weapon, a real weapon, or it can also be called Divine Artifact.

Surrounding it, in Han Li's eyes, were countless lines of rules Entanglement around it, just like his God Soul, constantly interacting with the outside world, slowly increasing its own strength, and incorporating the rules that Han Li had comprehended into itself.

Meanwhile, the eight Soul Ring were slowly absorbing and releasing energy, engraving their own solidified rules onto them, forming intricate patterns.

"It seems that everything is moving in a positive direction, which is really pleasing."

Han Li rubbed his Martial Soul with his left hand, then withdrew it into his body, sat down in a chair, and unconsciously tapped the table with his fingers.

When their God Soul merged before, he learned about the power structure of the Divine Realm from Gu Yue's memories, but after examining himself, he discovered a problem.

That is, whether it's because he's too ahead of his time or because of the different rules of his region, he seems to be a little different from them.

He is currently still in the title-granting stage and has not yet obtained his ninth Soul Ring, but if he wanted to, he could seemingly form four God Ring directly.

However, unlike the gods of the Divine Realm, his God Ring is not judged by Spiritual Power or divine power. More accurately, his God Ring can be called the Rule Ring.

Ice, fire, space, darkness—he can conjure them all if he so desires, and judging from the feedback, they are not merely aesthetically pleasing.

When Han Li reveals the Rule Ring, within his Spiritual Power range, those who control the same rules must pay a greater price to mobilize the power of those rules. They would need to expend approximately 30% more power to achieve the same effect as before, unless they obtain his permission.

Simply put, every time he masters a rule, he locks it and becomes an administrator. Anyone else who wants to use the computer will have to pay a fee. Although he doesn't get any benefit from it, he has undoubtedly benefited from harming others.

Han Li's lips twitched involuntarily.

To be honest, putting everything else aside, just considering this function alone, even if there had been no prior connection, the gods in the Divine Realm probably wouldn't have a good impression of him, unless he never reveals this ability.

Doesn't this indirectly push him to the opposite side of all gods?

Well, anyway, if we follow his route, it won't make much difference whether there's such a route or not.

Han Li shook his head, taking his own strength into account.

Based on Gu Yue's memories of the battle between gods, if Han Li goes all out and completes all his transformations, he can be certain that he will become Level Two God and be firmly under his control. Even though he has not yet become a god, apart from the so-called God Position, he is not afraid of his opponent at all.

The only weakness is the amount of divine power. He has no shortage of Faith Power, no shortage of Immortal Spiritual Energy, and even Divine Core to sustain him, but this still cannot bridge the gap in accumulated power between the two sides.

Just like the Level Two God he mentioned, in Han Li's view, the power of rules that those gods wielded was nothing special.

If he unleashes his power, and his divine strength, God Soul, and rule power are all stronger than his opponent's, then sweeping them aside is not a problem.

But if it were Sea God, or rather any First-Level God, given that Han Li is currently unable to overwhelm them in every aspect, the other party wouldn't even need to fight him to the death; they could simply wear him down. Not to mention the higher-ranking deities.

We still can't get too arrogant. The Dragon God is the best example. Han Li admits that he is still far behind the other party. The last one who was so arrogant has already been split in two.

The only difference between him and the Dragon God is that he controls the Douluo Plane, and the plane will also be upgraded along with him when he advances.

Although the upgraded Douluo Plane still lacks some foundation, it is definitely no worse than the Divine Realm in other aspects. What the other party values most is also the value of this world.

Once the two are combined, it will also be an opportunity for the members of the God Realm Committee to advance further. No god can resist this temptation, and this is Han Li's greatest asset.

However, this is also the biggest point of contention between the two sides.
