A Midgod in Close Quarters

Leilia soon walked out, and seeing Sean sitting in his courtyard, he laughed and said, "I thought that when a god-level expert appeared, they would surely be looking down on all living beings from the sky?"

"Haha, don't say, that feeling is actually quite nice." Sean smiled and said, "However, that only applies to ordinary people. You are my friend, so naturally, I wouldn't do that."

With a wave of Sean's hand, some food appeared on the table in front of them. It wasn't particularly good, and compared to Sean's status as a god-level expert, it seemed a bit beneath him.

"These are... they look a bit like the food we had when we were fleeing for our lives back then," Leilia said after walking over and sitting down next to Sean.

"Exactly. I prepared a lot back then. After we parted ways and I reached the Saint level, I no longer needed to eat, so it just stayed in my interspatial ring. It wasn't until I came to find you just now that I remembered it, so I specifically came over to find you to reminisce about the past," Sean said with a smile.

Leilia could be considered his closest friend in this world. When they were young, although Sean had high talent and was arranged to study at the most prestigious academy in Shengyue City, his background still had some influence. Among the descendants of noble families, only Leilia had a good relationship with him.

Later, during the crisis with the Radiant Church, the two of them agreed to flee together, making them brothers who had shared life and death.

Of course, encountering a Saint-level expert right after leaving was an accident, and afterward, the two of them hid together.

"That's right. After we separated back then, I also went through a life-and-death ordeal before returning to the Radiant Church's Qingyue City. I was quite worried about your safety; I never imagined you would actually become a god," Leilia said, picking up a chicken leg with a smile.

Things put into an interspatial ring remain exactly as they were when placed inside; food does not spoil. However, the value of an interspatial ring is so high that using it to store food is a waste, and generally, no one would do such a thing.

"You've also become a Saint-level expert; that's very good. At least you don't have to worry about your lifespan," Sean said with a smile.

Unlike Linley in the original Coiling Dragon, many noble families of the Radiant Church knew that there was no lifespan limit for Saint-level experts. Although there weren't many Saint-level experts who could live for millions of years or longer, it was either because they were killed after a long time or, unable to break through, they eventually took the risk to go to the Higher Planes or Divine Planes.

In the Coiling Dragon world, even if a powerhouse is not easily killed, under the accumulation of infinite time, if their strength does not improve, they will eventually encounter someone stronger and fall. No matter how small the probability, in the face of the spatial dimensions of his previous life's universe and the time dimensions of the current Coiling Dragon world, it could potentially become an inevitable event.

"I also succeeded only because of the personal guidance of a god-level expert in the Church," Leilia said, shaking his head. "But when it comes to the profound mysteries of the laws, I am completely clueless. That god-level expert had a good relationship with my father and even personally demonstrated the most basic Mysteries of the Thunder Element in front of me. But no matter what, I just don't understand it. It's been years, and I haven't made any progress at all."

"Don't be anxious; it's not that easy," Sean said with a smile.

Never mind a Lowgod; I suspect that even if a Grand Perfection came, they couldn't teach someone without talent unless that person had great natural aptitude and could have an epiphany after being guided. Becoming a god is defined by the laws of heaven and earth; it seems that only by using the soul-stripping fragments of a Death Law Grand Perfection can one potentially defy the heavens. In the original work, Beirut invited Dunnington to search for soul fragments of the Darkness Laws, though it is also possible that only a god-level expert can have soul-stripping fragments injected into them.

"I don't know when I'll be able to become a god like you," Leilia said with emotion. "The Radiant Church has thousands of Saint-level experts, and countless people have been trapped at the Saint-level limit for countless millions of years, including my father."

"Actually, wanting to become a god is very simple: just refine a Godhead," Sean said, a Godhead appearing in his right hand.

"A Godhead?" Leilia said in surprise. "Are you planning to give it to me?"

"If you want it, I can give it to you, but I still don't recommend that you refine it," Sean said. "After refining a Godhead, you will forever be just an ordinary god."

Unlike Ram, Leilia is his friend, and he still hopes that Leilia can become a god on his own, even if it takes a longer time to cultivate. If he could truly become a god independently up to the Highgod level and then fuse two profound mysteries to reach the level of a 5-star Fiend, he would basically be a person above others in Hell. It's just that for the levels that people like Linley and Bebe in the original work looked down upon, in reality, under normal circumstances, it is a one-in-a-billion probability. Even in the Higher Planes, among the vast number of Lowgods and Midgods, even in an environment suitable for cultivation, they might not make any progress for hundreds of millions of years, let alone become Highgods or fuse profound mysteries.

Subsequently, Sean explained the drawbacks of refining a Godhead.

"I really want to refine it, but since you've said so, I'll wait for now. If I don't have any chance at all after ten thousand years, then I'll consider refining a Godhead," Leilia said.

"Rest assured, there will be a Godhead for you. As long as you've made up your mind, I'll give it to you," Sean said, putting the Godhead away again. "If I can advance further in the future, whether it's a Midgod or Highgod Godhead, I can give them to you. Also, regarding your father, don't think about refining a Godhead; you must have enough confidence in becoming a god yourself, so that you will have a chance to break through."

"Alright, I will pass that on to my father," Leilia nodded.

"Hmm, also, take this; it will be of great use to you," Sean said, taking out another bead. "This is called a Life Source Pearl. It can ensure that you will almost never be killed while below the god level."

Afterward, Sean briefly introduced the situation regarding the Life Source Pearl. This thing was of no use to him, but it was of infinite value to a Saint-level expert.

"Good stuff," Leilia didn't stand on ceremony, smiling as he took it and refined it.

"I can't help you with your cultivation; it can only depend on yourself," Sean said again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely become a god independently," Leilia said.

"That's good. I hope that one day, we can roam the Higher Planes together," Sean said with a smile.

After the two of them tasted the food, Sean left. He didn't come forward to see Leilia's father; there was no need.

When Sean returned to his residence again, suddenly, in the dark, he felt that the surroundings were not quite right. Instantly, divine power covered his entire body, and his divine sense scanned the surroundings. Finally, in one direction, he discovered a trace of abnormality. There was someone over there, at least a Midgod.

He had actually been approached by someone; if it weren't for the Darkness Laws being inherently sensitive to the surrounding environment, he really wouldn't have discovered it. An ordinary Lowgod would probably only know about it right before they died. However, since they hadn't made a move yet, it seemed there was no hostility.

"Who is it? Come out," Sean said, his divine power surging throughout his body as he spoke toward the southeast corner.
