Becoming a God of the Earth Element

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and thirty years went by in an instant.

"Hum!"

A peculiar and familiar ripple emanated from the center of Qingyue City; it was the fluctuation of the Laws of the World.

In that instant, the other fourteen god-level experts residing in Qingyue City all released their divine sense. With something major happening, no one cared about etiquette anymore.

Is it Sean? Could it be? Everyone was deeply shocked. Perhaps the day they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

At this moment, some felt envy, some felt jealousy, and some were genuinely happy.

Sean was currently bathed in the descent of the Laws of the World. However, this descent was not because his Darkness god clone had achieved a breakthrough to become a Midgod, but because his Saint-level original body had finally comprehended the Earth Pulse, gaining the recognition of the Laws of the World and becoming a Lowgod.

It was strange to say, but for outsiders, the simplest way to become a god was through the most basic elemental profound mysteries—light, darkness, earth, water, fire, wind, and lightning. Every law had such profound mysteries, and they were the easiest to understand.

Even many of the magic spells passed down by the Overgods were based on these elemental profound mysteries.

Yet, Sean's darkness and earth attributes had both led him to comprehend higher-level profound mysteries to achieve godhood.

He had even begun to comprehend the Wind Space profound mystery for his wind attribute, though he was also working on the Wind Element profound mystery. It was unclear which one would eventually lead him to godhood.

Becoming a god with his Saint-level original body meant facing another choice: should he form the godhead inside his body or outside?

There was no need to think twice; naturally, it had to be outside. Splitting his soul in half was just a moment of pain, which was nothing compared to the importance of having an extra clone in the future—not just for the wind laws, but also for the Destruction Law.

Over these past few decades, Sean's Saint-level original body had primarily focused on cultivating the earth laws, only turning to the wind attribute as a change of pace when the earth cultivation became dull.

As time passed, and with the experience gained from sparring with other experts, he increasingly felt that he was slowly grasping the path of destruction.

To this end, he had specifically consulted Mipiaozhen and received a positive confirmation. Simply put, Sean had already entered the threshold of the path of destruction.

Of course, it was only the threshold. Sean clearly felt that his talent for the Destruction Law was far inferior to his talent for earth, darkness, and wind; his future achievements in it likely wouldn't be very high.

Still, having an extra life was value enough.

"Ah!" Despite having experienced it once before, Sean still cried out from the pain of his soul being torn apart. Fortunately, when the Laws of the World descend, no one else's divine sense can penetrate the area.

Even any attack would be unable to harm someone surrounded by the Laws of the World; this was the power belonging to the operating rules of the world.

The pain of the soul splitting came and went quickly. Just like last time, the Laws of the World rapidly absorbed a vast amount of earth-attribute Lowgod power from the Elemental Ocean to shape a new body for his god clone, and then it vanished.

With a thought from Sean, the earth god clone merged into his body, joining his Darkness god clone and his Saint-level original body.

"Lord Sean." A familiar voice echoed in his mind, and Sean replied, "Come over."

Soon, a black figure flashed over at high speed. A young man bowed and said, "Lord Sean, are you? Have you become a Midgod?"

"No, I've just gained an additional earth-attribute Lowgod clone," Sean said with a smile.

There was no need to hide such things, whether it was becoming a Midgod or gaining an extra god clone.

In a material plane, especially the Zhongyuan Continent which was only a few million miles wide, there weren't many secrets for god-level experts.

At this moment, the divine sense of the other Lowgods was also focused here. Upon learning the specific situation, they all said, "Congratulations, Sean."

"Thank you, everyone," Sean replied politely.

Afterward, everyone's divine sense retreated. Sean gaining an extra Lowgod clone was indeed a good thing, and his strength had increased slightly, but perhaps not enough to meet their expectations.

"When did you become a god?" Sean asked, looking at Ram before him.

The person in front of him was the Saint-level Black Tiger magical beast he had met in the Dark Forest. After Sean gave him a godhead, he had begun his own path to godhood.

Before his last seclusion, Sean knew he hadn't become a god. He hadn't expected that after his own breakthrough, Ram would have achieved it as well.

Refining a godhead to become a god involved no descent of the Laws of the World; whenever one broke through, they simply broke through.

"Three years ago," Ram said awkwardly. "Although I was the first in Qingyue City to start refining a godhead, I was the last to actually become a god."

"That's normal. You comprehended the Evil Profound Mystery, which is a brand-new profound mystery for you, so naturally, it refined slowly. The others were all working on the most basic elemental law profound mysteries, and they were already at the Saint-level limit and had been comprehending the same profound mysteries beforehand, so their refining speed was naturally faster," Sean said with a faint smile. "Actually, in the long run, your Evil Profound Mystery is much more powerful than theirs."

"Compared to Lord Sean, I am still far behind," Ram said with reverence.

In Qingyue City, Sean was the strongest, but since everyone was a Lowgod, the others just called Sean by his name, at most with a hint of respect. Only Ram and those who had refined godheads continued to address Sean as "Lord."

"Hmm, has there been any movement from the Darkness Church during this time? Has that Patrick still not appeared?" Sean asked again.

Everyone was trapped here because of that man. Even Sean, though he didn't fear him, knew he would be at a disadvantage if they met alone outside.

"No. Our church's armies have almost wiped out the Darkness Church, yet Patrick still hasn't shown himself," Ram replied. "Perhaps it's because he doesn't dare to come here. With so many of us Lowgods, even if we all unleashed our divine domains at once, he wouldn't be able to escape even as a Midgod."

"He wouldn't be foolish enough to stand there and let us surround him," Sean shook his head. "I need to continue my seclusion. Contact me if anything happens."

Although he had relied on the bloodline of the God-Eater Rat to become a god in darkness first—taking a shortcut—he actually felt that his talent for darkness was inferior to his talent for earth.

Previously, relying on the Power of Faith, his darkness laws had been unable to break through to the Midgod level. Now, he wanted to try using the Power of Faith to focus on cultivating the earth attribute.

For him, it was equally powerful regardless of which god clone reached the Midgod level first.

"Understood, Lord Sean," Ram agreed.

Fifty years later, in the South Sea, Patrick, who had been flying for tens of thousands of days and nights, suddenly paused, a flash of pleasant surprise appearing in his eyes.
