Breakthrough, Midgod! (Seeking Follows)

It must be said that Morti was highly efficient. In just a few short months, he had completely transformed the former Thunder God Court, with everyone now honoring Luo Ya as their new master.

Of course, this was also due to the immense prestige of Luo Ya himself, the "strongest expert of the Western Continent." With his name leading the way, the few other Lowgods who had yet to leave the Valen Plane also contributed significantly to the effort.

Half a year later, the structures atop the Thunder Sacred Mountain had been fully renovated in strict accordance with Luo Ya's requirements. The wedding of Luo Ya and Milia was held there.

Friends from the past, such as Albert and Beiya, came one after another to offer their congratulations. Also in attendance were various Saint Realm friends known to the couple, as well as every other god-level expert on the Western Continent.

Even the Plane Overseer, Laura, arrived in person to offer her blessings and presented a wedding gift.

The last to appear was the ruler of the Eastern Continent—the Midgod Violet. She looked at the pair with a playful smile and sent a telepathic message: "Both of you are god-level experts, and to be able to walk this path together is truly rare."

In the Material Plane, it was quite rare for two gods to become partners, and even Violet felt a twinge of envy toward Milia.

Luo Ya and Milia held hands, quickly accepting the blessings of everyone present.

Soon, the night deepened.

A bright, full moon hung high in the sky, its moonlight spilling through the window onto the bedside.

Inside the bridal chamber, Milia wore a white, elaborate wedding dress, sitting on the bridal bed with a hint of nervousness. Tonight, she was as pure and beautiful as a snow lotus on a mountain peak—sacred, yet filled with a stunning, enchanting allure.

"Milia!" Luo Ya looked at this pure snow lotus with deep affection, two blazing flames burning fiercely within his eyes.

The next second.

"Ah!" With a delicate cry from the blonde girl, Luo Ya embraced Milia and fell back onto the bed, pulling the curtains shut. Immediately after, one could only see pieces of clothing being tossed out from the bed.

"Mm..."

I do not know when it happened, but thick dark clouds had already obscured the full moon, leaving only seven or eight stars flickering with faint light.

Tonight, sleep would not come.

Walking this path with Milia truly gave Luo Ya an unprecedented sense of fulfillment. However, both he and Milia remained equally focused on their cultivation.

Just like that, aside from the occasional intimate moments between husband and wife, years flowed by like water amidst their tranquil cultivation...

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

Nestled among the surrounding mountains lay a quiet, crystalline lake.

On the lakeshore stood a simple, small wooden cabin rich with a natural atmosphere.

Beneath the lake, however, was a hidden world leading to a miniature Plane Secret Room.

A young man in black robes sat on a meditation cushion within the secret room, a smile on his face.

"Luo Ya?" The blonde girl, who was also staying in the Plane Secret Room, looked over with instant delight.

Although ten years had passed, Milia's appearance had not aged in the slightest; instead, she possessed a new, unique aura.

Under Milia's joyful gaze, the area above the miniature secret room began to fill with countless black mists...

Strangely, these black mists shifted and changed constantly, at times condensing into an evil-natured demonic wolf, at other times gathering into a giant python that seemed alive...

In the end, all the black mists contracted into a single mass, forming a peculiar black hole about two or three meters in diameter. An astonishing suction force immediately erupted from within the black hole!

Luo Ya sat quietly in the center of the secret room. The Dark Element acted like an extension of his willpower, spontaneously forming that black hole, and the rhythm of its suction became increasingly synchronized with the pulse of the black hole inside his body...

Suddenly, Luo Ya opened his deep, black eyes. Within them shone a ghostly black light, reflecting the outline of a mysterious black hole. "Finally, I succeeded..."

"Hum!"

A peculiar ripple of the Laws of Heaven and Earth descended from the sky, enveloping Luo Ya.

His body floated upward involuntarily. A godhead flickering with ghostly black light emerged from the top of his head, hovering above the miniature secret room. Countless Dark Elements gathered around it, circling the godhead under the influence of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Luo Ya could clearly sense that under the influence of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, his godhead was undergoing a transformation!

Once the transformation of the godhead was complete, it spun and merged back into his body, and the surrounding Dark Elements dissipated accordingly.

Opening his eyes, Luo Ya let out a soft breath, a smile on his face. "Finally, I have become a Midgod."

This period of seclusion was even shorter than he had imagined. He had originally thought the final bottleneck in his fusion might hold him back for a year or two, but he had quickly found the answer from the mysterious black hole within his body.

Just like that, while becoming a Midgod, the fusion of his two profound mysteries had also reached complete perfection!

Although he had only just become a Midgod, he had already fused two profound mysteries, and one of them was the high-level profound mystery, 'Devour'. This undoubtedly increased his strength significantly.

Now, even without relying on Willpower, he had the strength to put up a fight against an ordinary Highgod.

"And this breakthrough has other benefits as well."

First was the soul. Under the envelopment of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, in that short moment, his soul had grown nearly ten times stronger than it was before!

"Then, there is the most important part—the black hole within my body..." The moment he became a Midgod, it was as if some kind of restriction had been lifted. The 'black hole', which had been in a static state, suddenly erupted once more, and an astonishing devouring force spread toward the Elemental Ocean!

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

A familiar scene played out once again. Endless storms raged within the Elemental Ocean, and vast amounts of Dark Divine Power flowed like a thousand rivers returning to the sea, being devoured by the black hole in Luo Ya's body at an astonishing speed...

In just a short while, the amount of Dark Divine Power consumed was an uncountable figure.

"Sizzle~"

As if withered wood had encountered spring, the mysterious black hole welcomed a new life, with an endless stream of pure divine power pouring into it...

Although a vast amount of Dark Divine Power was absorbed, after being refined by the Black Hole, it only condensed into a small cluster of energy that entered the Paste Space—specifically the two or three-meter radius that belonged solely to Luo Ya.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Ya's soul faintly sensed a form of pressure, as if the energy the Black Hole could "digest" had reached a limit.

The two or three meters of territory within the Paste Space have also undergone some kind of change. Luo Ya's consciousness shifted over, discovering that while his "territory" within the Paste Space had not actually expanded in size, there was indeed an indescribable change...

The reason for this new change must be that the level of the energy being Devoured has increased. Luo Ya pondered internally for a moment and quickly realized this.

During the first mutation of the Black Hole, although the scene looked quite exaggerated, the power from the Elemental Ocean he had absorbed back then, while plentiful, was entirely the most superficial "Lowgod power."

Yet just now, the Black Hole had been greedily absorbing "Midgod power."

Clearly, the difference in the level of energy absorbed could, to a certain extent, promote new changes within the "Black Hole" inside his body.

However, Luo Ya had a faint feeling that this level of evolution alone was still not enough...
