Liewen Becomes a God

Liewen clearly felt that he had crossed a certain boundary.

It was the boundary between the Saint Realm and the God Realm.

The fusion of the Profundity of Purification and the Mysteries of Light Element would still need another year or two to reach the Lowgod realm. Liewen had reached the God Realm through the Mysteries of Light Element.

Just now, he had gained sudden enlightenment and broken through the bottleneck of the "Light Element" mystery, completely comprehending this mystery to the level of mastery.

And at that very instant—

A vast power that shook the soul suddenly descended, completely enveloping Liewen.

The space around Liewen twisted, separating him from the surrounding area, and his body floated up uncontrollably.

"So this is the Laws of Heaven and Earth?"

Liewen could sense that boundless, ancient, peculiar power. Before it, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

When the Laws of Heaven and Earth descended, Liewen no longer needed to do anything.

A special power entered Liewen's mind, seeing through every Laws' Profound Mystery he had comprehended.

Above Liewen's head, the power of the laws and Light Element wildly gathered.

In just a moment, the surging elemental energy dispersed. A black crystal radiating white light floated above Liewen's head—it was a light-aspect Lowgod Godspark.

This was a Godspark formed according to Liewen's soul aura. The instant it formed, it became linked to his soul.

That was the advantage of becoming a god independently. Refining someone else's Godspark could never allow the Godspark and soul to achieve perfect compatibility.

After the Godspark formed, the Laws of Heaven and Earth gave Liewen a message, asking him to choose whether to place the Godspark outside or inside his body.

If the Godspark remained outside his body, the Laws of Heaven and Earth would condense a Light God Clone for Liewen. His soul would also split in two, with half remaining in his original body and half entering the Light God Clone.

The weakening of the soul would have a tremendous impact, but the benefit was an extra life, and he could continue cultivating other laws and edicts.

If the Godspark remained inside his body, the Laws of Heaven and Earth would transform his body into a divine body. From then on, he could only cultivate the Laws of Light, but his soul would not weaken, and his comprehension of the Laws of Light would become even clearer.

Liewen was already well aware of the difference between the two choices. Without hesitation, he chose to become a god with the Godspark outside his body.

The moment Liewen made his choice, he felt agonizing pain deep in his soul, and every muscle in his body spasmed violently.

Under the effect of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, his spherical soul split apart with a bang, becoming two smaller spheres.

Of the two spherical souls, one remained in Liewen's mind while the other flew out of his body and merged into the Godspark.

Then, endless Divine Power of Light gathered around the light-aspect Godspark and condensed into a divine body.

The divine body wore a white robe and looked exactly like Liewen, except its hair had turned silver-white.

Once the divine body had formed, the special power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth vanished. Liewen had officially become a light-aspect Lowgod.

"This feeling is truly wonderful."

The two "Liewens" looked at each other, but they shared only one consciousness, as though he were looking into a mirror.

With a thought from Liewen, the Light God Clone entered Liewen's body.

At the same time, beside the spherical soul in his mind, a white-robed Liewen appeared, seated cross-legged.

Liewen circulated his Divine Power of Light, merging it into his flesh and blood. His already powerful body rose another level, though it still could not match a Lowgod Artifact.

While the Laws of Heaven and Earth had descended—

The three God Realm experts fighting in the air had also stopped.

"Has someone become a god?"

All three were startled. They all understood what the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth meant.

When they saw that it was Liewen who had become a god, their expressions differed. The High Priest and the War God were fine, merely somewhat surprised.

Lolita's expression, however, turned incomparably grim.

Liewen becoming a god meant that she could no longer possibly kill him today.

The High Priest and the War God working together were already enough to hold her back.

Now that Liewen had become a god and joined the battle, she would be the one at a disadvantage.

Lolita unwillingly glanced at Liewen, who was floating in the air under the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Now, even a sneak attack would be useless.

During the process of becoming a god, one was protected by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. He simply could not be killed.

After all, even splitting the soul in two caused no problem, let alone other injuries.

"Hmph. Once I obtain a Midgod Godspark from the Necropolis of the Gods, all of you will die!"

Lolita swept a hateful glance over Liewen and the other two, then turned into a streak of light and flew toward the horizon.

The Necropolis of the Gods was about to open. Since she had no chance of winning, she did not want to waste time fighting here.

The High Priest and the War God attacked at the same time, trying to stop her.

Since they had already become enemies, they could not let the tiger return to the mountains. Both wanted to kill Lolita here.

"You want to kill me?"

Lolita's gaze turned icy. A massive phantom suddenly appeared behind her, shaped like a giant black spider.

"Innate Divine Ability!"

The High Priest and the War God's expressions changed at once. They had not expected Lolita to be a Divine Beast as well.

Divine Beasts, as well as some people with Divine Beast bloodlines, possessed Innate Divine Abilities.

The High Priest and the War God did not know what effect Lolita's Innate Divine Ability had, so they both retreated warily.

The black spider phantom opened its mouthparts and released a fan-shaped ripple that simultaneously entered the High Priest and the War God's bodies.

It was a Soul Attack!

The High Priest quickly returned to normal, while the War God was slightly slower.

By the time they recovered, Lolita had already escaped into the distant horizon.

The High Priest and the War God exchanged glances, lingering fear in both their eyes.

They had not expected Lolita to have kept another trick in reserve.

If Lolita had found the right opportunity during their earlier battle and used her Innate Divine Ability, they might very well have been severely wounded or even killed.

The two had thought that once Liewen broke through, the three of them could join forces and kill Lolita. But now it seemed that if they forced Lolita into a desperate struggle, one of them might lose his life as well.

The Laws of Heaven and Earth vanished. The High Priest and the War God composed themselves and used divine sense to congratulate Liewen.

"Congratulations, Liewen."

"High Priest, War God, I will remember today's kindness." Liewen replied through divine sense.

If the High Priest and the War God had not acted today, he would already have died at Lolita's hands.

"I was doing it for myself as well."

The War God spoke calmly. He glanced at the High Priest, then continued, "Since everything is settled, I'll leave first."

The War God turned into a streak of fire and disappeared into the northern horizon.

"Liewen, you have only just broken through. Take some time to experience the God Realm first. Lolita is very powerful, so you must be more careful from now on," the High Priest said.

"I understand."

Liewen had watched the battle just now, and he understood that even if he joined forces with the High Priest and the War God, killing Lolita would not be easy.

"There's no rush. Time is on my side." Liewen had confidence in his own potential.

The High Priest returned to the Forest of Life, while Liewen descended from the air.

"Liewen, congratulations." Master Longers congratulated Liewen. Lena and Kuhn had also returned.

After chatting for a while, Master Longers took his leave. Liewen also returned to his room to experience the changes after becoming a god.

The most obvious change was that his soul had become much weaker.

Splitting his soul in two had caused too much damage. His comprehension and deduction of the laws would slow by several times.

I can only wait until later and use Soul Golden Pearls to restore it, Liewen thought.

Experts who cultivated the Laws of Death could refine the souls of ordinary people into Soul Golden Pearls. Those cultivating other laws and edicts could also absorb Soul Golden Pearls to increase their soul strength.

Soul Golden Pearls were very rare on the Yulan Continent, but in higher planes such as Hell, they were quite common. As long as one could pay the price, they could be bought.

That was precisely why Liewen had chosen to split his soul without hesitation.

Although his soul had weakened greatly, Liewen's Light God Clone could sense the profound mysteries of the Laws of Light far more clearly than before he became a god. The price was that the Light God Clone could no longer sense any other laws or edicts.

The Light God Clone could only cultivate the Laws of Light.

"From now on, the Light God Clone will cultivate the Laws of Light, while my original body cultivates the Rules of Fate." Liewen made his decision.

When he had cultivated Fate Law, he discovered that his talent in the Rules of Fate was also quite good, not inferior to his talent in the Laws of Light at all.

He wanted to cultivate another Fate God Clone. By then, he would have two Lowgod Clones and would no longer need to fear Lolita.
