Even After Transmigrating into Coiling Dragon, Who Would Still Eat Soft Rice

"Finally, I have become a god!"

Looking at this godhead that belonged entirely to him, Simon wore a look of satisfaction.

A fluctuation then rippled through his soul.

Are the Laws of Heaven and Earth asking me to choose whether to keep the godhead inside or outside my body?

Since he was a dual-element Soul Mutator, he would naturally choose to become a god externally. If he accidentally left it inside his body, he would be done for...

Without hesitation, Simon controlled the godhead to hover beside him.

"Ah!"

Simon couldn't help but let out a scream of extreme agony; the intense pain caused every muscle in his body to twitch and spasm.

At this moment, deep within Simon's mind, the sword-shaped soul floating in his soul ocean actually split into two with a 'bang' under the embrace of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The pain of a soul splitting was far greater than the pain of physical torture.

At this instant, Simon stopped thinking entirely, his body reacting only with instinctive screams.

Before long, Simon's screaming ceased.

Now, the soul within Simon's mind had become two smaller 'sword-shaped' souls.

One of the sword-shaped souls remained deep in Simon's mind, while the other flew toward the godhead and merged directly into it.

Immediately, Simon felt an unprecedented weakness. Even though he was a Soul Mutator and his soul was naturally ten times stronger than others, he still fell into a weakened state after splitting his soul, though his situation was slightly better than others.

Through the connection of the godhead, Simon's soul probed into the Elemental Ocean.

Feeling this vast and boundless Elemental Ocean, Simon was filled with awe.

"Rumble~~"

Ten meters below the surface of the Elemental Ocean, a significant amount of divine power suddenly vanished into thin air. Following a special channel formed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, it descended directly into the cave where Simon was cultivating, and then, centered around the wind element godhead that had fused with the sword-shaped soul, it began to condense a divine body.

Very clearly, starting from the head and moving downward, a naked divine body, almost identical to Simon's original self, began to form.

Simon's heart stirred, and he immediately controlled the wind divine power within his body to condense into a pale cyan robe on his skin.

Just then, the special force representing the Laws of Heaven and Earth vanished into thin air, and the cave returned to calm.

"It's over."

A happy smile appeared on Simon's face as he controlled the Wind Element Divine Clone to merge into his original body.

He focused his mind to sense it. "As expected, the Wind Element Divine Clone can sense the fluctuations of the Law of Wind much more clearly."

Becoming a Lowgod in the wind element not only meant that his hard work over this period had finally paid off, but it also meant he finally had a foothold in this world.

After all, under normal circumstances, a Lowgod was already capable of self-preservation in a Material Plane. Even if he went to a Supreme Plane, he would count as a person and at least be taken in by a tribe.

He wouldn't be like a Saint Realm expert who couldn't even live as a person, left exposed in the wilderness to become someone else's food or material, completely at the mercy of fate.

Just as Simon became a god, the fluctuations of the Laws of Heaven and Earth caused by his ascension caught the attention of Edward, the founding emperor of the Gale Empire.

Edward, who was cultivating in a secret chamber, opened his eyes.

"Oh? After more than a thousand years, who has become a god again? Andrew, the peak Saint Realm expert of the southern Flower Empire? Or Solo of my Gale Empire? Andreck? Or some other hidden cultivator? Forget it, someone who just became a god can't stir up much trouble. Breaking through the bottleneck before me is what's most important."

Edward then closed his eyes and continued his cultivation, hoping to break through to a Midgod soon and rise above the founding emperors of the other great empires.

Unaware that his ascension had caught the attention of this legendary founding emperor of the Gale Empire, Simon was still immersed in the joy of becoming a god.

Calming his excitement, Simon spread his divine sense, easily covering a radius of tens of thousands of square miles. Aside from discovering a few Saint Realm magical beasts, Simon did not detect any other god-level beings, at least no Lowgods.

After confirming it was generally safe, Simon took out his treasured wine and food from his spatial ring and sat on the ice bed to enjoy them.

"From birth until now, over fifty years have passed, and I, Simon, have finally become a god."

Feeling the surging divine power fluctuations in his body, he expanded his godhead domain.

Simon finally understood why there was an insurmountable gap between the Saint Realm and gods.

It wasn't just the gap in the laws; the divine body, the soul, and the godhead domain all determined that even the strongest Saint Realm expert could not defeat the weakest Lowgod, even a Lowgod who had refined a godhead.

"This is a difference in the essence of life."

Simon probed his mind into his soul ocean.

The sword-shaped souls of his original body and his divine clone floated above the soul ocean. Even after the soul had split, the souls of both the divine clone and the original body were more than ten times stronger than before; after all, this was an evolution in the essence of life.

However, compared to other experts of the same level, Simon was still in a weakened state. He estimated it would take about ten years to restore his soul to its peak state. If he had treasures like soul golden beads, the recovery time could be greatly shortened.

After a brief celebration, for the sake of safety, Simon quickly packed his belongings and left the cave.

As the pale cyan divine power flowed, Simon transformed into a gust of wind and vanished from the spot.

By becoming a god through the fusion of the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness, Simon's speed was now much faster than when he was in the Saint Realm. By driving his wind divine power and executing the Speed Profound Truth, it only took him a few seconds to cross thousands of miles.

After spending some time finding a secluded valley, which was a hundred thousand miles away from the previous cliff, he scanned the surroundings with his divine sense. After ensuring it was safe, Simon excavated another hidden cave and continued his cultivation.

At this time, his cultivation was mainly focused on meditating to recover from the damage caused by the splitting of his soul.

"Without treasures like Soul Golden Beads, recovering soul power is truly an exhausting task." As Simon meditated continuously, his soul power grew stronger day by day.

As his soul power grew more robust, the speed of his recovery also increased. One day, nine years later, Simon opened his eyes; his bright pupils seemed to shimmer with billions of stars. "Finally, I have fully restored my soul to its peak state."

Releasing his Divine Sense with all his might, Simon could now easily cover a radius of several hundred thousand li, an area equivalent to an entire province.

This range of Divine Sense had already reached the threshold of an ordinary Midgod.

After all, being a Soul Mutator could elevate one's foundation tenfold, and an ordinary Midgod was only ten times stronger in base stats than an ordinary Lowgod; the tenfold amplification brought by the dual-element soul mutation perfectly offset this gap.

Now, Simon only needed to cultivate his water element to the Lowgod level. Once the two types of divine power were fused, combined with the coordination of his two Godhead Domains, it would be enough to contend with a Midgod. If he achieved a breakthrough in fusing profound mysteries, he could even defeat a Midgod who had refined a godhead!

The future was very bright!

During these nine years of soul recovery, in his spare time, Simon's original body had not been idle; he was fully deducing and comprehending the Laws of Water. After all, only after becoming a god in both elements could he truly unleash the advantages of being a Soul Mutator.

The baptism of the Laws of Heaven and Earth after becoming a god had incidentally raised the soul of Simon's Saint Realm original body to a level comparable to his wind element original body, and even slightly stronger due to the soul mutation.

This also greatly increased the speed at which Simon comprehended the Laws of Water Element. While fully focusing on the Laws of Water Element, Simon unexpectedly gained an entry-level understanding of the Mist Illusion profound mystery within the water element. This was truly a pleasant surprise; after all, comprehending Mist Illusion meant that Simon finally had a soul-based technique he could rely on.

Thus, Simon spent several more months successfully aligning the Profound Mystery of Water Element with Mist Illusion, and then proceeded to comprehend and fuse them simultaneously.

Chapter 10: Water Element Godhood, Ultimate Move Formed

Twenty years passed in a flash.

As a mid-tier profound mystery of the water element, Mist Illusion was much more laborious to comprehend and fuse. However, bolstered by Simon's powerful soul and a constant stream of inspiration, he had now fused the majority of the Profound Mystery of Water Element and Mist Illusion.

As time flowed on, even though Simon intentionally slowed down his progress in comprehending the Profound Mystery of Water Element to keep it in line with the progress of the Mist Illusion profound mystery, he found he could no longer suppress the progress of the water element.

Therefore, Simon decisively chose to first bring the Profound Mystery of Water Element to completion, and then slowly fuse Mist Illusion after achieving water element godhood.

The benefit of this was that after achieving water element godhood, Simon would possess two divine clones, allowing him to fuse divine powers and fully leverage the advantages of being a Soul Mutator, truly rivaling a Midgod.

Because the Profound Mystery of Water Element and Mist Illusion were already more than half fused, even if the Profound Mystery of Water Element reached completion first, it would not affect the subsequent fusion; it would only take a bit more time to complete the fusion later.

After changing his strategy, Simon focused all his efforts on comprehending the Profound Mystery of Water Element.

Half a year later, the familiar Laws of Heaven and Earth descended once more, and Simon again chose to split his soul in two.

A moment later, the Laws of Heaven and Earth dissipated, and the water element divine clone was formed.

In a secret chamber within the Gale Empire, the founding emperor, Edward, opened his eyes once again.

"Strange, why have so many people been achieving godhood lately? It seems that after I finish my cultivation, I must find time to go out and walk around. I shouldn't be kept in the dark if something major has happened."

He then closed his eyes to continue his seclusion.

Edward was now on the verge of cultivating into a Midgod; unless a major event occurred that could topple the empire, he was unwilling to move a single step.

In the mountain cave, Simon's original body appeared, looking joyfully at the wind element divine clone in light cyan robes and the water element divine clone in deep blue robes before him.

From this point on, possessing two Lowgod clones, Simon had truly established a firm footing in the Material Plane.

Above Simon's Soul Ocean, three cyan-blue sword-shaped souls were distributed in a triangular shape, with three figures corresponding to them directly below.

They were Simon's original body, his wind element divine clone, and his water element divine clone.

"After fusing the divine power, the power in every aspect is indeed ten times stronger than that exerted by a single divine power. Moreover, this fused divine power can also nourish and strengthen my original body. Although the degree of strengthening is not as great as a divine clone formed entirely of fused divine power, it is still several times stronger than before."

Simon's expression was full of joy.

Immediately, Simon diverted his attention and took out the Wind-Annihilation Longsword and several other longswords.

When he left home, Simon had asked his family to prepare several extra longswords for him. The materials were forged with the full strength of the entire clan, and precious Cyan Nightmare Stone was also mixed in, making the hardness of these longswords reach the limit below the god level.

Now, as long as Simon continuously nourished them with divine power and soul energy, he could transform them into true Lowgod Artifacts.

Subsequently, Simon's original body and water element divine clone began to nourish the weapons while recovering their soul power. Simon estimated that in about ten years, he would be able to upgrade these longswords into true Lowgod Artifacts.

While nourishing the weapons, Simon also played a little trick.

For the weapons he used daily, Simon used pure wind divine power or water divine power to nourish them, while for his trump card, the Wind-Annihilation Longsword, Simon used the fused divine power to nourish it.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

After preliminary testing, Simon confirmed that the artifacts nourished with fused divine power were indeed a level stronger in both sharpness and toughness than those nourished with a single divine power, basically reaching the level of a Midgod Artifact.

However, when fully activated, the fused artifacts would emit an aura distinct from ordinary artifacts. Upon discovering this, Simon made a prompt decision to avoid using the fused artifacts in daily life, only using them when his life was at stake, or when he could completely conceal this aura.

The Wind-Annihilation Longsword could be considered a small trump card for Simon, while the other ordinary artifacts were intended to hide his identity as a Soul Mutator as much as possible when he ventured into the Supreme Plane in the future.

After all, he would definitely encounter all kinds of experts in the Supreme Plane. To be safe, it was better not to expose himself until his strength was comparable to an Asura, otherwise, it would be inevitable to encounter experts like Mosi who enjoyed soul-enslaving others.

While nourishing the weapons, Simon's wind element divine clone and water element divine clone were also cultivating.

The wind element divine clone was attempting to fully comprehend and fuse the Profound Mystery of Speed, so that the wind element could break through to a Midgod, but at present, the difficulty was not small.

As the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness continued to fuse, the difficulty of comprehension and fusion increased the further he went. Recently, progress had been slow, and he was still a long way from true completion.

Simon had no better way to deal with this, so he just kept deducing and comprehending as much as he could.

He would occasionally change his train of thought to comprehend the Profound Mystery of Wind Element, while simultaneously trying to find the point of convergence between the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Profound Mystery of Speed and Slowness.

As for the progress of the water element, he was proceeding step-by-step, fusing a little bit of Mist Illusion with the Profound Mystery of Water Element as he comprehended it. Currently, he had not encountered any major obstacles, and the progress of comprehension and fusion was advancing steadily.
