Becoming a God of the Water Element

"What a beautiful place."

With the strength of Luo Ya and his two companions, they naturally stabilized their figures in the air very quickly.

Beneath them, what came into view was a spectacular, breathtakingly beautiful canyon that could only be described as a "cluster of flowers."

Throughout the entire canyon, thick vines covered the rocks everywhere, while patches of flowers swayed in the breeze along the canyon walls. Pink, snow-white, orange, and bright red—all sorts of peculiar flowers adorned the cliffs like a massive mural. As the breeze passed, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, soothing to the soul.

A vast array of strange and colorful plants filled the vision of Luo Ya and his group. Just then, a figure with pointed ears flew up from the canyon at high speed.

This was an elven woman dressed in light, airy clothing. She smiled and said, "The three of you must have just arrived in Hell. Welcome to the Soth Tribe! If you wish to join our Soth Tribe, please hand over one Moshi each. We will be responsible for protecting you. If you are unwilling, you can brave Hell on your own!"

"Soth Tribe?" Luo Ya looked at the elven woman.

"Correct," the elven girl said with a smile. "The surrounding area is under the control of our Soth Tribe. You came down from that Bifu Army Metal Lifeform, so you must have seen it along the way—Hell is filled with endless, cruel slaughter. Slaughter is very common in Hell!"

"I have seen many people like you coming from the Material Plane. Your best choice is to join a tribe like ours." As the elven woman spoke, she glanced at Luo Ya, who was the leader of the three.

"Young man, don't think that just because you are a Midgod, you can survive long in Hell without the protection of a tribe."

Hearing the elven woman's words, Luo Ya did not argue.

In this Hell, there were indeed numerous bandit groups, and although his spatial ring contained some Moshi gifted by Laura, he did not possess a Metal Lifeform.

If he wanted to go to a city in Hell, the best choice was to follow the Soth Tribe's Metal Lifeform into the city.

"I would like to ask, when is your tribe's next trip to the city?" Hearing Luo Ya's question, the elven woman was slightly surprised, but she quickly answered it.

"Do you see the exotic flowers and rare herbs in the canyon? Those are extremely rare and precious plants that can be refined into valuable Life Potion. Some of the seeds for these plants even come from other Divine Planes... Our Soth Tribe can be considered the largest tribe in this vicinity, and our Chief is a powerhouse with the strength of a Five-Star Fiend!"

"Five-Star Fiend?" Luo Ya was slightly surprised.

A Five-Star Fiend was generally a Highgod who had fused two profound mysteries; even in Hell, they could barely be considered a powerhouse of some standing.

"By the way, you might not know what a Fiend is yet. A Fiend..." The elven woman seemed to be a talkative person, and all sorts of information spilled from her lips.

Because they were a large tribe that frequently went to cities to sell the plants they cultivated, the Soth Tribe traveled to the city quite often. The next trip would be in half a year.

"We agree to join the Soth Tribe." Since he could "hitch a ride" on a Metal Lifeform by waiting half a year, Luo Ya naturally agreed readily.

"A wise choice." The elven woman was very pleased and immediately led the three of them to fly into the canyon.

As for the seven or eight Saint Realm individuals scattered in the distance who dared not approach, no one paid them any mind.

In Hell, Saint Realm individuals were merely ants. Unless they reached the God level, tribes in Hell would not accept them; they were left to fend for themselves.

After arriving at the canyon filled with flowers and grass, the elven woman who called herself "Jenny" brought them to a tree fortress and smiled, saying, "This tree fortress was built by a powerhouse of the Laws of Life in our tribe. The environment is quite nice, isn't it?"

Luo Ya and his companions looked around and saw many similar tree fortresses in the distance. It seemed that these "tree fortresses" were a major feature of the Soth Tribe.

"The plants in this Supreme Plane are truly unique. They cannot be directly ripened by a powerhouse of the Laws of Life and must be left to grow naturally." Milia looked at the various exquisite flowers and plants in the canyon, feeling quite curious.

"There is nothing strange about that." Jenny the elven woman said dismissively, "Even in your Material Plane, you occasionally encounter strange plants; perhaps they are just rare. But here in Hell, such plants are everywhere, and only a few possess extraordinary value."

"Alright, I won't disturb you today. If you have any other questions, you can ask your neighbors..." After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the elven woman walked away.

Three days later, Jenny came again to ask if Luo Ya was willing to join the tribe's army and become a tribe warrior.

Midgods were quite sought after in such tribes. Once one became a tribe warrior, the wealth they could earn would be far higher than that of other tribe residents.

However, Luo Ya planned to leave the tribe in half a year, so he naturally had no interest in becoming a tribe warrior.

Although the tree fortress looked simple, it was fully equipped with three bedrooms and a living room.

In the master bedroom, Luo Ya and Milia were discussing their future plans.

"The 'Fiends' of Hell sound like a good challenge, but to participate in the Fiend assessment, one must at least break through to become a Midgod." Milia felt that in another two or three years, she should be able to fully fuse her Wind Movement Technique and Clone Technique to perfection.

By then, she would be able to become a Wind-style Midgod, and her strength would be half a step higher than that of an ordinary Midgod.

The reason it was only half a step was that the Laws of Wind had a relatively large number of profound mysteries—nine in total.

Generally speaking, a powerhouse of the Laws of Wind needed to fuse three profound mysteries to rival the strength of a powerhouse of other laws who had fused two.

"Don't worry, although the Moshi that Miss Laura gave us last time isn't much, it's enough for our registration." Furthermore, those two Midgod Godheads and several Midgod Artifacts counted as a small fortune.

"However, after coming to Hell, I must be careful when using 'Willpower' in the future." If he were a Highgod, it would be fine; he could simply disguise himself as a Highgod Paragon.

The problem was that he was currently only a Midgod. A Midgod possessing Willpower was far too conspicuous. If a Chief Sovereign with nothing better to do happened to notice him, there was no guarantee they wouldn't capture him to slice him up for research.

"From now on, I will handle ordinary battles with my own strength. Unless I encounter a life-or-death crisis, I should try to use Willpower as little as possible." Of course, that was just to say use it sparingly; he wouldn't go so far as to give up eating for fear of choking and shelve it entirely.

In quiet cultivation, time passed like flowing water...

"Hum~~~"

Three months after they arrived at the Soth Tribe to cultivate, the fluctuations of the Laws of Heaven and Earth descended.

Inside the tree fortress, Milia and Morti watched the scene before them with pleasant surprise. Luo Ya himself was suspended in the air, enveloped by the strange energy of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, while intense water elements floated above him, eventually condensing into a water-element Godhead.

"Congratulations, my lord, you have also become a God in the Laws of Water." Morti's face was full of respect.

Milia was also filled with excitement and joy.

Cultivation talent is crucial; without an aptitude for a certain path, even the longest periods of practice will struggle to yield success. Although Luo Ya possessed the highest talent in the aspect of 'Darkness', allowing him to cultivate it with great speed, he was actually quite decent in the 'Water' aspect as well; he simply hadn't devoted much thought to it before.

However, with his current powerful soul, combined with the fact that he was in Hell, he made rapid progress soon after focusing on the Laws of Water.

During those ten years spent cultivating on the Metal Lifeform, he had actually been only a hair's breadth away from a breakthrough.

Now, three months later, the 'Element of Water' profound mystery—the simplest among the Laws of Water Elements—had finally reached great completion.

This time, Luo Ya once again chose to split his soul.

"Sss-sss~~~"

A Luo Ya wearing water-blue robes with short water-blue hair was born out of thin air; it was precisely Luo Ya's Water divine clone.

A moment later, the fluctuations of the Laws of Heaven and Earth dissipated, and that Water divine clone merged into the body of Luo Ya's original form.
