The Story Begins

After Zhao Nan finished speaking, Doehring Cowart fell silent for a moment before asking, "So, Mr. Zhao Nan, are you saying that even someone in my situation still has a chance to become a god?"

Hearing Doehring Cowart's question, Zhao Nan smiled. "That's right. As long as someone can still comprehend the Profundities of Laws, they have a chance to become a god!"

Doehring Cowart's usually kindly face showed a look of astonishment.

Before hearing Zhao Nan's words, Doehring Cowart had been prepared to spend the rest of his life as he was. But now, one thought filled his mind: There's hope that I can be reborn!

Then another thought surfaced. Could becoming a god really free him from the Coiling Dragon Ring?

With that in mind, Doehring Cowart asked Zhao Nan, "Mr. Zhao Nan, although I'm only a Saint-level Magus, my years of research have led me to believe that there's only one way for me to leave the Coiling Dragon Ring: to exhaust all my spiritual power.

Do you think that becoming a god would let me escape the Coiling Dragon Ring's hold?"

Zhao Nan was taken aback.

He knew that the Coiling Dragon Ring was a Sovereign Artifact.

Could the power of godhood really free Doehring Cowart from the Coiling Dragon Ring?

After a moment's silence, Zhao Nan said, "Elder Doehring, let's set aside whether you can leave the Coiling Dragon Ring. Could your situation really get any worse?"

Doehring Cowart laughed at that.

"Indeed. How much worse could it get?"

After thinking it over, Doehring Cowart said, "You're right, Mr. Zhao Nan. Given my situation, how much worse could things get?

If I really become a god and can leave the Coiling Dragon Ring, that'll be a wonderful surprise!"

Hearing Doehring Cowart's words, Zhao Nan nodded with a cheerful smile.

"Haha, exactly!" Zhao Nan looked at Doehring Cowart, and the two of them burst into laughter.

Afterward, Zhao Nan explained the six Profundities of the Laws of Earth to Doehring Cowart.

Once he had finished, Zhao Nan went straight back to his room.

Ever since Doehring Cowart joined them, Zhao Nan no longer had to keep an eye on the disciples' cultivation every moment.

That left him more time to comprehend the various Profundities of Laws.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Nan found it strange. In the original story, Linley had been struck soon after obtaining the Coiling Dragon Ring, causing it to acknowledge him as its master.

But so much time had passed, and that battle still hadn't happened.

Zhao Nan couldn't be bothered to dwell on it. He was enjoying this life.

After a long period of cultivation, Zhao Nan's status panel had changed considerably:

Looking at his status panel, Zhao Nan had a clearer grasp of his current strength.

His warrior realm had now reached the Saint level, and his Profundities of Laws had improved greatly. Most importantly, he had comprehended another Profundity of the Laws of Earth.

His fusion of laws had also reached the lowest level: the Profundity level.

Zhao Nan knew that his next step wasn't to comprehend more Profundities of Laws, but to fuse the newly comprehended Gravity Space with the others.

Of course, he also knew that fusing it with the other two Profundities would be extremely difficult.

But Zhao Nan wasn't in a hurry. There was still plenty of time before the story began, so he could take things slowly.

Time passed. Another half month went by, and on that day, a tremendous tremor came from the distance.

Zhao Nan knew it was the sound of a Velociraptor's footsteps. That meant the story had begun.

It also meant that he could finally leave without worry and travel around the Yulan Continent.
