Innate Divine Ability

"Is this a divine body?"

Feeling his newly born Destruction divine body, Leian could not help but reveal a happy smile.

However, just as he prepared to control his original body to merge with the divine body, his original body suddenly began to transform into its Magic Beast form once again, completely beyond his control.

In the blink of an eye, a purple-black divine beast, shaped like a Qilin and possessing a majestic aura, replaced his original body and stood suspended in the air.

At the same moment, a message appeared out of thin air in Leian's mind.

However, before Leian could focus on examining it, a large number of uninvited guests began to intrude within the range covered by his divine sense.

These were mostly Saint Realm Magic Beasts, along with several human Saint Realm experts, such as Colin, the Undead Saint Archmage he had met not long ago, and others...

Leian had just become a god and there were still many things he did not understand. He had intended to simply shout and drive them away, but as soon as the thought arose, he abandoned it.

Judging by the commotion caused when the Laws of the World descended just now, not to mention those further away, every Saint Realm expert within a thousand miles must have sensed it. Even if he drove this wave of visitors away, others would continue to arrive one after another. If he wanted to avoid being disturbed, the best choice was to change locations.

Thinking of this, Leian immediately controlled his Saint Realm original body to revert to human form, then merged with his divine clone, preparing to leave.

The moment he stepped out of the cave, a thought struck him, and he dissolved the master-servant contract with the Saint Realm Black Dragon Kals.

He had only subdued Kals to serve as a temporary guard. Now that he had become a god, Kals, with his strength at the lower-middle level of the Saint Realm, was no longer of much use, so it was better to set him free.

As soon as the contract was destroyed, Kals sensed it immediately. In an instant, he understood the reason: he had been abandoned by Leian.

His heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but panic.

One had to know, just a moment ago, he had been secretly excited that he could follow a god-level expert.

In the hearts of Saint Realm Magic Beasts, although freedom was incomparably precious, it was nothing if the person they followed was a god-level expert.

Seeing Leian walk out of the cave entrance, Kals gritted his teeth. Pretending he knew nothing, he shouted in a tone that was fawning yet carried a hint of grievance:

"Master, wait for me!"

As he spoke, his massive body shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of a finger, and with a swift dash, he made a "slap" sound and stuck firmly to Leian's robe.

Leian lowered his gaze, glanced at Kals, who now resembled a black gecko, and smiled. He did not drive him away again, and with a flash of his figure, he disappeared into the canyon.

Some time later, on a cliff overlooking the sea at the southwestern corner of the Youquan Continent, Leian's figure approached at high speed and finally landed on the cliff top.

This place faced the vast ocean and backed onto a jungle; it was rarely visited by humans, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed.

Leian gazed out at the vast sea, then sat cross-legged and began to contemplate his own changes.

Since becoming a god, the soul ocean deep in his mind had expanded once again. Above the boundless ocean, not only was there a smaller spherical soul suspended, but beneath it also floated a figure sitting cross-legged—this was exactly Leian's Destruction divine clone.

"This soul space is truly peculiar, being able to directly accommodate a divine clone. If I remember correctly, the Fate Rule is what cultivates the soul space. I wonder what kind of mysteries lie within this."

Leian pondered silently. A short while later, a thought moved him, and he switched between his original body and his divine clone. The Saint Realm original body, originally dressed in a green robe, was instantly replaced by the Destruction divine clone.

After the Destruction divine clone appeared in the outside world, deep within its mind, there was also a soul ocean. However, what floated above the soul ocean was no longer a spherical soul, but a godhead emitting a hazy, seven-colored luster.

Below the godhead sat Leian's Saint Realm original body, cross-legged.

"This body switching is truly simple and swift!"

While sighing with emotion, Leian sensed the elemental ocean again through his godhead. His consciousness passed over the surging elemental tides, and below that was the seawater composed of Destruction divine power. Continuing downward, he quickly sensed the area ten meters below.

Leian tried to absorb the Destruction divine power, but the speed was indeed incredibly slow.

Next, he tried to sense the Destruction Rule and found it to be a thousand times clearer than before he became a god.

However, sensing it clearly was one thing, but comprehending it was another matter entirely.

After experimenting for a long time and gradually becoming familiar with the characteristics of his divine clone, Leian switched back to his original body and began to view the message that had appeared out of thin air earlier.

This message was very brief. After Leian understood its meaning, his face could not help but show a look of being moved, and his entire person was incredibly excited.

Because this message told Leian that he had awakened a Innate Divine Ability!

"There have been many people in history who have fused with magic cores, but it seems that no one has ever awakened an Innate Divine Ability as a result..."

Leian frowned slightly. Over the years, he had searched for information related to fusion secret techniques, but in no record was there any mention of gaining a Magic Beast's abilities after fusing with a magic core, let alone awakening an Innate Divine Ability.

Even the Elf race could only transform completely into a Magic Beast and could not obtain the Innate Abilities of the Magic Beast.

"Could it be that the magic core I fused with back then really came from a divine beast?"

Leian guessed secretly, but after pondering for a while, he felt it was unlikely. Because, if one could obtain the Innate Divine Ability of a divine beast just by fusing with its magic core, then the divine beasts of the Panlong Universe would never be able to reach adulthood.

"Perhaps, this is just a mutation that cannot be grasped, just like a soul mutation!"

Believing this to be the closest possibility to the truth, Leian stopped splitting hairs and instead began to study the specific capabilities of his Innate Divine Ability.

This Innate Divine Ability could be summarized very simply; if one had to use a single word to sum it up, it would be—Copy!

Copying the Innate Divine Abilities of other divine beasts!

It was a truly miraculous and heaven-defying ability!

Of course, there were limitations: one could not copy Innate Divine Abilities without limit. Instead, each divine clone could only copy one.

In other words, if Leian only had the talent for the Destruction Rule, he could only copy one Innate Divine Ability for his Destruction divine clone.

Furthermore, when copying the Innate Divine Ability of another divine beast, one must obtain a drop of its corresponding essence blood!

Upon learning of his innate divine ability, the first thing Leian thought of was the innate divine ability of the God-Eater Rat.

Throughout the entire Panlong Universe, the number of divine beast species was uncountable, yet very few possessed top-tier innate divine abilities; among those specifically highlighted were the God-Eater Rat, the Four Divine Beasts, and their combined innate divine ability.

Leian did not know if he possessed four divine clones, but even if he did, he had no idea how long he would have to wait to obtain the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts; the essence blood of a God-Eater Rat, however, seemed more attainable.

After all, according to the information he had previously obtained, Beirut had not yet become a Chief God, so if he could befriend him, it was not impossible to obtain a drop of essence blood.

After pondering for a while, Leian gradually set these thoughts aside; regardless of which innate divine ability he wished to replicate, it was impossible at this stage, so overthinking was pointless—it was better to continue cultivating and improve his strength.

Next, Leian first absorbed divine power to strengthen his Saint Realm original body, then took out the few pieces of ore he had obtained from Kals to re-smelt his sword.

Looking at the pitch-black longsword, which remained the same in style, Leian nodded with satisfaction; he would not be going to the Supreme Plane in the short term, so he would inevitably need to nourish this sword with destruction divine power to serve as his weapon in the future.

"The end of destruction is for everything to return to Guixu; you might as well be called 'Guixu'!"

As he spoke, the two small purple characters for "Guixu" slowly emerged on the surface of the blade near the crossguard.
