The Shock of a Godhead Expert!

Flowing Frost City.

The castle's back garden.

"Brat!"

Staring at Lei Wen behind him, Barte Lei suddenly turned around and swung a slap at Lei Wen's cheek.

There was no technique to it.

It was simply a father beating his son.

Lei Wen did not dodge.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

But Barte Lei's palm stopped halfway.

"Hmph!"

"You still know to come back?"

"You've been gone for years."

"I thought you'd died outside."

Barte Lei's gaze trembled slightly.

Yet he still kept his neck stiff, maintaining the dignity a father should have.

Beside them.

Xue had already burst into tears.

She shoved Barte Lei aside and hugged Lei Wen tightly.

"You've gotten thinner."

"You've gotten darker."

"Didn't you eat properly out there?"

Xue's voice carried a trace of sobbing.

Even though she knew her son Lei Wen was stronger than Barte Lei.

As a mother, she still could not help worrying about him.

"Brother."

"You really came back."

Lian Qiu also returned to her senses.

Unlike her mother, she did not lose her composure, but her delight was impossible to hide.

She hurried over, circled Lei Wen several times, then revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Alright."

"Let's go inside first."

"If we keep standing in the garden, outsiders will think something happened to the Patton family."

Inside the castle's main hall.

Barte Lei sat in the seat of honor.

He held a teacup in his hand, but his gaze kept drifting toward Lei Wen.

What had happened in the garden earlier had been far too shocking.

He was a Saint Domain expert!

His son had only broken through a few years ago.

But in Jade Rabbit, the Saint Domain stood at the peak of the pyramid.

Other than those few legendary Godhead experts, a Saint Domain expert could walk sideways.

And yet...

He had been pinned in place by his own son with one hand, unable to move.

Barte Lei's pride had suffered an enormous blow.

Meanwhile.

Lei Wen seemed not to notice Barte Lei's gaze.

Instead, Xiao Bai on his shoulder looked at Barte Lei with interest.

As a dragon that had once been a Saint Domain expert.

Xiao Bai was very perceptive.

It quickly guessed Barte Lei's thoughts.

Heh!

Stunned, aren't you?

Old Barte Lei, even if you're my master's father—

before my master's strength, you only have the right to tremble.

"Lei Wen."

"Tell me honestly."

"What realm are you at now?"

"You just said something about a clone."

"A clone that could pin down a Saint Domain warrior?"

Barte Lei finally could not hold himself back.

He set down his teacup and spoke in a trembling voice.

As Barte Lei's words fell.

Xue and Lian Qiu also pricked up their ears.

This was what they were most concerned about.

Especially Lian Qiu.

She had always taken Lei Wen as her role model.

She had once believed that becoming a seventh-rank mage would allow her to close some of the gap between herself and her brother.

But now...

Not only had that distance failed to shrink, it seemed as though an entire plane separated them.

Seeing the expectant yet nervous looks in his family's eyes.

A faint smile appeared on Lei Wen's face.

He did not answer. Instead, he slowly rose to his feet.

Then.

A Lei Wen dressed in a blue robe walked out from behind Lei Wen.

The two Lei Wens.

Stood shoulder to shoulder.

Yet the aura around the blue-robed Lei Wen...

Was too terrifying.

He seemed to be standing there.

Yet Barte Lei and the others felt as though he was far away.

"This..."

Barte Lei abruptly stood up.

His chair was knocked over, crashing loudly onto the floor.

He pointed at the two Lei Wens, his finger trembling nonstop. For a long while, he could not form a complete sentence.

"A clone technique?"

Xue was also completely dumbfounded.

As someone from Magic City, she knew of water-affinity clone magic.

But water clones had no physical bodies, much less such terrifying pressure!

What exactly was going on before her eyes?

"This isn't a clone technique."

"At least, it isn't the kind of magic clone you understand."

The blue-robed Lei Wen spoke.

His voice was exactly the same as the black-robed Lei Wen's, yet it carried an indescribable emptiness.

He casually waved a hand.

The water elements in the air surged over as if answering the call of their master.

"Father, Mother, Lian Qiu."

"Let me introduce him again."

"Luo Ye is my Water affinity god avatar."

"And I have already..."

The black-robed Lei Wen and blue-robed Lei Wen smiled at the same time.

"Stepped into the Divine Domain."

Boom!

Barte Lei felt as though his head had exploded.

The Divine Domain?

That legendary realm?

His son had gone out for a few years and returned as a god?

Wasn't that leap a little too enormous?

"A god...?"

Lian Qiu was somewhat at a loss.

She carefully reached out, wanting to touch the blue-robed Lei Wen, but did not dare.

Luo Ye was a god.

Her brother, Lei Wen Patton, had become one of the legendary Godhead experts.

Seeing his sister's cautious expression.

The blue-robed Lei Wen took the initiative to reach out and rub Lian Qiu's head.

"The Divine Domain?"

"An expert like the High Priest?"

"My son has become an expert like the High Priest?"

"..."

Xue's face was filled with confusion.

As a native of Jade Orchid City.

In her eyes, a legendary Godhead expert like the High Priest was the strongest existence.

And now.

Her son had become a Godhead expert.

Xue found it somewhat unreal, as though she were dreaming.

"Father! Mother! Lian Qiu!"

"You don't need to be so nervous."

"Gods are cultivated by people too."

Lei Wen sat back down and patiently explained everything to his family.

Since his strength had already been exposed.

There was no need to keep hiding it.

Letting them understand the truth of the world would also benefit their future cultivation.

"The Saint Domain is far from the end of cultivation."

"For Saint Domain experts to become gods, there are two methods in total."

Lei Wen raised two fingers.

"One is refining a Godhead."

"By reaching the Saint Domain realm, one can refine a Godhead."

Upon hearing this.

Barte Lei's eyes widened.

Refining a Godhead?

There was such a shortcut in this world?

"However."

"I don't want you to take this path."

"Gods created by refining Godheads are the weakest among all gods."

"Moreover, that is the end of the road. It is almost impossible to make further progress."

"That is a dead end."

Lei Wen did not say any more.

Gods made by refining Godheads could only stop at lower gods, the most ordinary kind of lower god.

A lower god had no right to speak at all.

Before a true powerhouse.

The most ordinary lower god was no different from an ant.

"Second."

"It means becoming a god by condensing your own divine law."

"If you become a god this way, the heavens and earth will automatically bestow a divine crystal upon you, granting you the qualification to condense a divine spark. That is also a reward."

"If you become a god through a higher reward."

"You will possess two bodies."

"One physical body and one god avatar."

"Just like I am now."

Lei Wen pointed at his Water affinity god avatar.

"Every additional god avatar gives me another life."

"Even if my god avatar is killed."

"As long as my physical body remains, I will not truly fall."

"..."
