"Grandpa Doehring, calm down."
Linley's words brought Doehring's reason back to him.
"That's right, if it were Hamlin, how could I still be alive?" Doehring gave a self-deprecating smile. "Sorry, Linley, I was too agitated."
"No, Grandpa Doehring." Linley shook his head quickly. "It's my fault; that senior requested that I not reveal his identity for the time being."
"Linley." After a moment of silence, Doehring continued, "So, the changes in you during this time, and your current strength, are all thanks to that senior?"
"That's right, Grandpa Doehring." Speaking of this, Linley became animated. "My senior said that the battle technique I just used is actually a Profound Mystery of Laws."
"Profound Mystery of Laws?"
Doehring looked at Linley, puzzled.
Before he died, he was indeed a peak Saint-level mage.
Throughout the entire Yulan Continent, he was considered somewhat famous.
However, because he was a loner, Doehring did not have many friends.
This also meant that he actually did not know much about the Yulan Continent as a whole.
"Linley." Lin Ke's voice suddenly rang out in Linley's mind. "I have added a manual for the Profound Mystery of Laws to the shop; you can buy a copy."
"Thank you, Brother Lin Ke."
Hearing Lin Ke's words, Linley's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened the shop panel.
Complete Compendium of Laws and Profound Mysteries: 10 Green Energy Points
Linley saw the new item in the shop at a glance.
Energy Points: 90,010 Green, 17 White
"Brother Lin Ke, help me exchange for a copy of the Complete Compendium of Laws and Profound Mysteries."
Linley glanced at his energy point balance.
He had just killed over a hundred Tooth Wolves.
A level-three Tooth Wolf was 40 points, a level-four was 50 points, a level-five was 70 points, and a level-six was 100 points.
The most valuable was the Tooth Wolf King; a level-seven Tooth Wolf King was worth a full 1,000 Green Energy Points.
Of course, this was what Linley received.
In reality, Lin Ke had secretly deducted nine-tenths, leaving Linley with only one-tenth of the energy points.
The moment Linley completed the exchange, a thick, heavy book appeared in his hand.
Doehring had already seen Linley conjure items out of thin air several times without even having a spatial ring.
However, after hearing Linley's previous explanation, if it were an ancestor of the Dragonblood Warrior clan, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.
If what Linley said earlier was true, the Dragonblood Warrior clan could awaken their bloodline by consuming dragon blood.
That proved that a thousand years ago, the Dragonblood Warrior clan consisted entirely of Saint-level powerhouses.
Among them, there might even have been Dragonblood Warriors who had become deities.
Thinking of this, Doehring was able to accept the changes in Linley during this period.
A deity—it wasn't impossible for them to be capable of such things, right?
"Look, Grandpa Doehring." Linley opened the book; the first page was an introduction to the Earth Element mysteries. "These are all Earth Element mysteries; there are six in total."
Linley's words brought Doehring's thoughts back.
However, upon seeing the contents of the book in Linley's hand, Doehring fell completely silent.
"Profound Mystery of Earth Element, Profound Mystery of Earth Walking, Profound Mystery of Strength, Profound Mystery of Life Force, Profound Mystery of Gravity Space, Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse—six in total."
Doehring's lips trembled.
"Profound Mystery of Earth Element, what I comprehended back then must have been the Profound Mystery of Earth Element."
Doehring's expression turned somewhat pleasantly surprised.
"Grandpa Doehring, there's more." Linley turned the page again. "This is the Wind Element law. What I just used should be the Profound Mystery of Slow, but why are there nine Wind Element mysteries?"
"The mysteries of each element vary greatly." Doehring withdrew his gaze and looked at Linley with unusual excitement. "And it says here that mysteries can be fused together. For example, the Profound Mystery of Fast and the Profound Mystery of Slow can be fused to become the Profound Mystery of Speed."
As he spoke, Doehring's eyes were shining with light.
The path ahead.
He saw the path ahead.
Originally, Doehring, who was left with only his soul after death, had already lost the desire to cultivate.
After all, without a physical body, he could not refine magic power, and his spiritual energy would not grow.
No matter how he cultivated, it was impossible for him to make any progress.
But now, Doehring saw a different path.
Although he was left with only his soul.
His insights into the laws from back then had not dissipated.
"Grandpa Doehring." Linley flipped the book to the very end. "It says here that as long as one fully comprehends a single profound mystery, one can become a god."
Linley's words completely cleared the path for Doehring.
"Become a god, fully comprehend a profound mystery." Doehring muttered to himself. "Profound Mystery of Earth Element, as long as I can fully comprehend this elemental mystery, I can become a god."
"Linley." Watching Doehring's excitement from the outside, Lin Ke spoke up again. "Tell Doehring not to rush. He currently has no body; if he becomes a god now, he will only have one divine clone. But if he obtains a body first and then becomes a god later, he will possess both his original body and a divine Earth Element clone—in other words, two lives."
As Lin Ke's voice faded, Linley looked at Doehring, his expression somewhat dazed.
"Linley?" Doehring noticed something was wrong with Linley and asked, "What is it? Did something happen?"
"Grandpa Doehring, resurrection, you can be resurrected." Linley said with an excited face. "My elder told me to inform you that he will prepare a body for you after some time, and you can directly possess it to resurrect."
As Linley's words fell, it was Doehring's turn to be dazed.
"Linley." Although Doehring was only a soul, he felt his throat go dry. "What you just said, was it resurrection?"
"That's right, Grandpa Doehring." Linley nodded repeatedly. "Give me some time, I promise, Grandpa Doehring, you will have the best body."
As he spoke, Linley communicated with Lin Ke again, "Big Brother Lin Ke, the body, what kind of body will it be?"
"I offer custom or standard options here." Lin Ke said, snapping his fingers as new items began to be added to the store. "Whether it is a super divine beast from this world, a divine beast from another world, or a custom build based on Doehring's own ideas, it's all fine."
Hearing Lin Ke say this, Linley hurriedly opened the store.
Super Divine Beast Wu Kun: 100 billion Golden Energy Points
Super Divine Beast Ancient Tree of Life: 100 billion Golden Energy Points
Golden Horned Beast: 100 billion Golden Energy Points
Immortal Phoenix: 100 billion Golden Energy Points
Rows upon rows of various divine beasts left Linley feeling overwhelmed.
But the main thing was that Linley had already flipped through hundreds of pages, and the price for every single one was 100 billion Golden Energy Points.
"Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley felt a bit dejected. "What level are these Golden Energy Points? When will I be able to possess them?"
"Don't even think about it for now." Lin Ke shook his head slightly. "Or you can ask Doehring what his requirements are; I can customize one for him, perhaps the price will be lower."
"Grandpa Doehring." Hearing Lin Ke say this, Linley quickly looked up at Doehring. "Regarding the body, do you have any requirements? My elder says it can be customized."
"Customized?"
Doehring felt his thoughts pause for a moment.
Was this "customization" what he thought it meant?
However, looking at Linley's determined expression and thinking of the changes in Linley over this period.
Doehring quickly made his decision.
"Earth Element, the Earth Element talent must be preserved." Doehring pondered for a moment and then continued, "And human, it must be human."
