Divine Power Fusion

He did not know how much time had passed.

Perhaps a year, perhaps longer.

The Laws of the World descended upon the miniature plane once again.

It was because Kolan's attainments in the Death Law had reached the standard required to become a god.

Soon, the Laws of the World dissipated, and Kolan gained another lowgod clone.

"As expected, the fusion of the lowgod power of life and the lowgod power of death makes the fused divine power ten times stronger!" Kolan marveled at the potency of the fused energy.

It could be said that although he was currently a lowgod, his strength was comparable to that of a midgod.

Kolan channeled the lowgod power of life and the lowgod power of death to reinforce his physical body.

His Saint-level original body was strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The effect of this fused divine power was truly extraordinary; Kolan's body was undergoing a slow transformation, with his muscle strength, meridians, and internal organs all evolving and improving.

He did not know how much time had passed before this transformation concluded.

"Hmm!? After being tempered and reinforced by the fused divine power, this original body is comparable to a lowgod artifact!" Kolan was somewhat surprised.

The effect of this fused divine power on strengthening the body was simply too good.

It was no exaggeration to say that even without using divine power or battle qi, relying solely on this powerful body, he could smash a Saint-level Tyrannosaurus—known for its defense—into a pulp with a single punch.

This was the benefit of a powerful body.

Even if one were not skilled in material attacks, the sheer strength of the body alone would make one's physical strikes terrifying.

"This Tree of Life has already reached the limit of this miniature plane; if it stays here, it will never grow any taller," Kolan thought to himself as he looked at the 10-meter-tall Tree of Life.

Afterward, he opened a Gate of Space and left the miniature plane with the Tree of Life.

Then, he brought it to the surface.

As soon as the Tree of Life touched the ground and Kolan set it down, it immediately began to take root and sprout.

With the giant magic crystal mine beneath the surface, it could support the continued growth of the Tree of Life.

Kolan's life god clone and death god clone began to use the fused divine power to reinforce their divine bodies!

Meanwhile, Kolan's Saint-level original body watched the Tree of Life grow taller.

That day, the area welcomed an uninvited guest.

The visitor wore a mask emitting a green glow, and long silver hair flowed behind them.

"Kolan, you have become a god?" The visitor seemed surprised.

"So it is the High Priest who has graced me with their presence. Please forgive my lack of a proper welcome!" Kolan smiled. "I was lucky enough to achieve godhood!"

The visitor was none other than the High Priest.

"Kolan, this Tree of Life..." The High Priest looked at Kolan with some confusion.

Kolan smiled faintly. "This Tree of Life is a seed I obtained by chance in the Necropolis of the Gods, and I have been cultivating it."

Kolan told a small, white lie.

"So it was a seed from the Necropolis of the Gods. I was wondering how there could be another Tree of Life on the Yulan Continent." The High Priest sighed.

If the High Priest's voice had previously been neutral, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female, it was now crisp and melodious—clearly that of a woman.

"Kolan, how about we make a deal? I want this Tree of Life; name your price." The High Priest looked at Kolan.

"I will absolutely not trade this Tree of Life, so the High Priest should not bring it up again." Kolan waved his hand, refusing directly.

What a joke.

This Tree of Life was of great benefit to his cultivation of the Life Law; how could he possibly trade it away?

Besides, the High Priest was only a lowgod; what could she possibly offer that would be worth trading for?

"Kolan, as long as you are willing to give me the Tree of Life, I can even give you the Yulan Empire and have its citizens worship you. Now that you have become a god, you must know the benefits of faith power. If you want to unify the Yulan Continent, I can even help you," the High Priest said.

Kolan laughed. "I have no interest in the Yulan Empire, nor do I have any interest in unifying the Yulan Continent. The High Priest should stop coveting my Tree of Life."

It was a joke; if he wanted to unify the Yulan Continent, it would be effortless.

The High Priest, a lowgod of the Life Law, and the War God, a lowgod who had refined a godhead, could not stop him.

Unifying the entire Yulan Continent to obtain faith power might be somewhat helpful for a lowgod's cultivation. However, this faith power was of no use for becoming a midgod, and as for the cultivation of a midgod, it was even more insignificant.

Seeing that Kolan was unmoved, the High Priest felt helpless.

Yet, this Tree of Life was truly important to her.

Unfortunately, she had no bargaining chips that could tempt Kolan, and in the end, she could only leave in disappointment.

Kolan chuckled; this Tree of Life was tied to his cultivation of the Life Law, so how could he ever trade it away?

With this Tree of Life, cultivating the Life Law was as simple as drinking water.

He wouldn't trade such a treasure, even for a highgod artifact!

To avoid any disturbances, Kolan built a castle here that spanned a radius of twenty li, then summoned thousands of undead to patrol the area to ensure no one would bother him.

Finally, Kolan's Life divine clone and Death divine clone both completed the fusion of their bodies and the tempering of their divine power, elevating the physical level of his divine clones.

Afterward, Kolan left his Life divine clone in the castle to cultivate beneath the Tree of Life, while his Saint-level original body took the Death divine clone to travel the world.

Upon leaving the castle, Kolan realized that it was already the year 4650 of the Yulan Calendar; a full thirty years had passed since he left the Necropolis of the Gods.

During these thirty years, the Yulan Continent had undergone some changes.

Namely, some clans and factions that had lost the protection of Saint-level experts had been wiped out.

This was the cruelty of reality.

In a world of survival of the fittest, without sufficient strength, one simply could not possess things that exceeded their own capabilities.

If a kingdom lacked the protection of a Saint-level expert, its destruction was only a matter of time.

If a super clan lacked a Saint-level expert to hold the fort, the wealth they possessed would only be coveted, eventually leading to their annihilation and the seizure of their assets.

The Luo'ao Empire and the Rhine Empire, while lacking God-level experts, were guarded by peak Saint-level experts, ensuring the empires were not destroyed.

Although some clans and factions had declined and perished, others had risen to prominence.

For instance, the Four Ultimate Warriors clans—the Baruch Clan, the Bolei Clan, the Haide Clan, and the Amanda Clan—were currently at the height of their power.

Beyond their own members, the Four Ultimate Warriors clans had seen the birth of second-generation Ultimate Warriors, and when combined with the might of the first-generation Ultimate Warriors, they were second only to God-level experts.

The Four Ultimate Warriors were also sought after by countless warriors, regarded as role models and the ultimate combat power for warriors; one step further, and they would be God-level experts.

In addition to the Four Ultimate Warriors clans, the Saber organization founded by Haydson was also at its zenith, daring even to assassinate an archbishop of the Radiant Church.

The Saber organization was even hailed as the number one assassin organization on the Yulan Continent!

Haydson himself was known as the King of Assassins.

It was also at this time that a warrior named Rutherford, who had reached the ninth rank at the mere age of thirty, traveled the world challenging other ninth-rank experts, winning battle after battle and earning the title of "Genius Warrior"!
