The greatest advantage of a transmigrator is not a cheat code, but foresight and knowledge. As a transmigrator, Hodan is familiar with the entire plot of Coiling Dragon, and this is his greatest advantage.

Hodan plans slowly. First, he must confirm what stage the plot has reached. Since Hodan is going to take up the post of Plane Overseer of the Yulan Continent, the protagonist of Coiling Dragon, Linley, must not have been born yet, because the minimum term for a Plane Overseer is one thousand years. Exactly when it is will have to wait until he reaches the Yulan Continent; Hell does not have data on the years of a Material Plane.

Hodan thinks, and then it is about improving his own strength, because only the weak encounter misfortune; all the pain in the world stems from anger at one's own incompetence.

If Hodan had the strength of a Seven-Star Fiend, then the parents in the world of Coiling Dragon would not have died. If he had the strength of a Sovereign, then the current Four Divine Beasts Clan could be wiped out with a flip of his hand; there would be no need to take action personally, as providing infinite Sovereign Power would be enough to exhaust the Four Divine Beasts Clan to death. If he had the strength of Hongmeng, he could reopen the heavens and earth and recreate the universe at any time.

The Renars Clan is also one of the few major clans in the Hell Plane besides the Four Divine Beasts Clan; otherwise, it would be impossible to pursue the Four Divine Beasts Clan across planes.

One must know that for plane teleportation, the most expensive price is teleporting from the Higher Planes and Divine Planes to a Material Plane. It costs one trillion Inkstone or equivalent Godstone. Even an ordinary Seven-Star Fiend would likely be reluctant to teleport once.

Teleportation between Divine Planes also costs 100 billion Inkstone, which is already equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary Six-Star Fiend. One can imagine how much wealth the Eight Great Clans spent to be able to pursue the Four Divine Beasts Clan across planes, although this wealth was accumulated over countless years.

As a member of the Renars Clan, Hodan, who can take up the post of Plane Overseer, also has a divine clone, but unfortunately, he only has a Thunder Element Mid-God clone and a Saint-level original body. Hodan's own talent is not very good, otherwise he would not just be a Mid-God.

Being able to take this cushy job as a Plane Overseer was also due to the efforts of Elder Muli in the clan. Elder Muli was friends with Hodan's parents; otherwise, he would not have escorted him to the Yulan Continent. It was out of hope that he could perform meritorious service, and it was also a form of protection, keeping him away from the struggle with the Four Divine Beasts.

As a result, it was unexpected that Hodan still died at the hands of Elder Jiawei. Although he has now been replaced by a Hodan of the same name, fortunately, no one knows that the previous Hodan has already been replaced by the Hodan from the Little Broken Ball.

Hodan sighed at the impermanence of fate for a moment. Elder Muli tried to protect him by letting him be an Overseer, but it ended up causing him to die at the hands of Jiawei. Through a twist of fate, he was able to possess the body. For a moment, he also thought of his parents on Earth and Xiaoyan, who was about to become his wife, and felt deeply emotional.

Just as Hodan was sighing and immersed in the torrent of fate, a unique fluctuation surrounded him. The laws of the Coiling Dragon World are manifested externally; relatively speaking, it is easier to get started and gain insights than in other worlds. Moreover, with the many years of development in the Coiling Dragon World, there are corresponding insights and cultivation methods for various laws and rules.

Although this knowledge is regarded as a treasure in the Material Plane, in the Divine Planes and Higher Planes, this knowledge is commonplace; you can buy this knowledge in any shop. But to what extent one can cultivate depends on the individual; as the saying goes, the master leads you to the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual.

As a transmigrator, the fusion of two lifetimes brought vast memories while also enhancing the strength of Hodan's soul. It is not without reason that those who can survive as transmigrators are children of destiny. Even without anything else, the knowledge from another world is a huge fortune; it just depends on how you dig it out.

The improvement in the strength of Hodan's soul allowed him to gain closer insights into the laws and rules. When Hodan came back to his senses from his insights, he was startled. "I actually had an epiphany." As an old bookworm, Hodan had seen this scene many times.

Hodan calmed down to carefully reflect on the gains from this epiphany and found that after this epiphany, the Fate Rule had not only been mastered, but he had also reached the limit of his insights, just one step away from becoming a god.

Although he does not know when he will be able to cross this step, Hodan is still very happy, because Hodan has now proven that although he does not know about other paths, as a transmigrator, there is no problem in cultivating the Fate Rule in the Coiling Dragon World. Moreover, as a transmigrator, there is a unique advantage in cultivating the Fate Rule.

The Fate Rule is one of the Four Rules. Unlike the seven elemental laws that can be divided into various profound mysteries, when cultivating, one is completely contemplating the Fate Rule between heaven and earth. When breaking through, there is naturally a feeling of spiritual enlightenment, and the soul becomes stronger instantly.

Cultivating the Four Rules is not like the laws, where you can know to what extent you have cultivated. The extent to which the Four Rules are cultivated is entirely determined by the laws of heaven and earth.

It is even possible to ascend to the heavens in one step and directly become a High-God. As long as your insights are deep enough, it is not impossible to directly become a Paragon High-God. Moreover, the Fate Rule is not like the elemental laws, which have specific requirements for the fusion of several profound mysteries to judge.

The Four Rules only have Low-God, Mid-God, High-God, and Paragon. Although there is a big gap between a High-God and a Paragon, there is no requirement for fusion. It depends on your level of insight into the rules. The deeper the insight, the stronger the strength naturally becomes. When you fully comprehend the rules, then you are a Paragon.

Therefore, High-Gods who cultivate the Four Rules are often the most unwilling to be provoked, because they cannot be seen from the outside. Who knows if they are ordinary High-Gods? Six-Star Fiends? Seven-Star Fiends? Asuras, or Paragon High-Gods!

Unless they take the initiative to emit their aura, and then you can distinguish them through the strength of the aura.

When a god of the Four Rules cultivates to the level of a High-God, they basically have the capital to save their lives in Hell. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke other gods, basically no one will come to provoke you.

Hodan summarized his current cultivation progress. Currently, Hodan only has a Thunder Element Mid-God clone and a Saint-level original body. It seems that it is still good. The Saint-level original body is the key to continuing to become stronger in the future.

Becoming a god in the body can have at most one divine body and one life. Having a Saint-level original body at least gives him a chance to become stronger. He can gain insights into other laws and rules, and at worst, he can refine a Godhead to become a High-God.

Thinking about it, since the clan can send Hodan to be a Plane Overseer, he must have a divine clone. Otherwise, how could he notify the people of the clan to come to the Yulan Continent in the original work?

After digesting the gains from the epiphany, Hodan re-examined his own strength.

The Thunder Element profound mysteries are: Thunder Element, Swiftness, Violent, Scorching, Annihilation, and Judgment. Hodan only comprehended the Thunder Element and Swiftness profound mysteries and became a Mid-God. There was no fusion of profound mysteries; he was just the most ordinary Mid-God.

Then, his insight into the Fate Rule reached the Saint-level limit, and he could become a god at any time, but this step has blocked countless Saint-levels. Although Hodan is a transmigrator, he cannot guarantee when he will be able to become a god. It may be the next second, or he may be stuck for decades.

But being able to spontaneously have an epiphany to the verge of becoming a god as soon as he transmigrated gave Hodan hope. Hodan knows that in this cruel world, there is nothing that can be trusted; the only thing that can be trusted is his own strength.

Whether it is for self-preservation or seeking a way home.
