Whale-Swallow Silkworm-Eat
"Your senses are quite sharp." Hela took another sip of tea.
"Indeed. Going to the Supreme Planes or Divine Planes before reaching the God-level is simply courting death. Fortunately, I am a Super Divine Beast, so I matured and became a God quickly, gaining my innate divine ability, 'Whale-Swallow Silkworm-Eat'. Relying on this talent, I had no rivals among my peers. Later, I established a kingdom on the continent, but those kingdoms never lasted more than a few hundred years before collapsing, so I gradually stopped caring about mortal realms. After that, I became a High-God, and the monotonous, boring life in the material plane finally drove me to set foot in the Life Divine Realm." Lincoln's eyes were filled with memories.
"Whale-Swallow Silkworm-Eat? That's a decent name. I've heard that this technique of yours can simultaneously devour divine power and souls of the same level—whale-swallowing the divine power, silkworm-eating the soul. For a God-level powerhouse, aside from the Saint-level true body, the body is composed entirely of divine power. If the divine power is sucked away, the divine body is destroyed, and the physical defense is broken, unless the Saint-level true body's constitution is stronger than the divine body. And if the soul is sucked away, it isn't a matter of the soul defense being broken; one simply dies." Hela paused. "Of course, that isn't the most important part. The true function of you devouring divine power is that once you have devoured enough divine power of the seven laws at the same level, your Saint-level true body will possess a body of that same level."
"Lady Vivian really did tell you. I won't hide it from you; this is also the reason I chose to become a Chief Sovereign's emissary back then. Cultivating in the Supreme Planes truly yields twice the result with half the effort, and the laws are much clearer than when the material plane was first born. In over a thousand years, I went from a High-God to a High-God, and spent quite some time getting the profound mysteries nearly fully fused. It's just a pity that this final step has remained out of reach for ten million years." Lincoln sighed. "Paragon, it is truly too difficult."
"Indeed, Paragon, it is too difficult!" The Death Chief Sovereign sighed along with him. Among the four Rule Chief Sovereigns, she was the only one who was not a Paragon. Although she could stand on equal footing with the others thanks to the Heart of the Underworld, her Chief Sovereign artifact-level body, and her innate divine ability, it was still frustrating to think about.
"Little one, since you've told me so much, let me tell you a real story." Hela looked up at the sky, then turned her gaze to Lincoln.
"If you are in the mood, My Lady, I will certainly listen carefully." Lincoln returned from his memories and smiled.
"Do you know the origin of the four Supreme Planes and the seven Divine Planes?" Hela suddenly asked.
"I do. Between heaven and earth, there are four Overgods: Life, Fate, Death, and Destruction. The four of them joined hands to build the Life Divine Realm, the Heavenly Realm, the Underworld, and Hell. Later, when the Chief Sovereign Sparks were born and the era of the Chief Sovereigns arrived, the Chief Sovereigns of each law, following the instructions of the Overgods, pooled their strength to open up the seven Divine Planes. The different causes also led to the fact that all laws are easy to cultivate in the four Supreme Planes, while the Divine Planes are only conducive to cultivating the laws of their respective systems," Lincoln replied.
"Correct. Seven Chief Sovereigns of one system must join forces to open a Divine Plane, and all must be present. If that is the case, all 49 law Chief Sovereign Sparks should have been refined. Why, then, were you able to obtain a Darkness Divine Spark?"
Lincoln was silent for a moment. "Naturally, because this Darkness Chief Sovereign was killed by other Chief Sovereigns."
To kill a middle-tier Chief Sovereign, one would have to be either a Chief Sovereign of the various systems or a Paragon middle-tier Chief Sovereign. Lincoln had already learned from the Life Chief Sovereign that this Darkness Divine Spark had been collected by Augusta, and he was quite troubled about how to deal with it. Augusta's other half was Orf, and his personality was overbearing; whether he would listen to his "nonsense explanation" was another matter. The key was Orf. Since Lincoln had obtained the Chief Sovereign Spark by completing the sixth Overgod mission—and it was an Overgod of Fate mission at that—Orf would have already gathered the material and soul-defense Supreme Artifacts by this time. In this subsidiary universe, no one could defeat him.
"Correct. The Chief Sovereign Spark in your head had a previous owner named Aikes, a Paragon of the Darkness law!" Hela dropped a bombshell.
"How is that possible? A Paragon middle-tier Chief Sovereign is almost equal to an ordinary Chief Sovereign. How could Augusta kill him? Could it be that you all took action?" Although he asked this, Lincoln believed it. Augusta had an extra Chief Sovereign clone, giving him more Willpower than an ordinary Chief Sovereign; it was plausible that he could kill Aikes.
"Why would we attack a middle-tier Chief Sovereign for no reason?" Hela explained slowly. "Aikes relied on being a Paragon and considered himself one of the Chief Sovereigns, never respecting the Darkness Chief Sovereign Dark. He also looked down on Augusta's style of doing things and offended Augusta several times. Later, Dark and Augusta conspired together to plot against him, causing him to fall. However, we also found it strange that Augusta could kill Aikes. We can only say that he possesses some techniques and methods to enhance his strength, just like the Destruction Chief Sovereign, myself, and Zijing."
Lincoln finally understood; Aikes died because of his loose tongue. However, Lincoln had to thank him for that loose tongue, as it had given him this opportunity.
Just as Lincoln was about to press for more, he suddenly noticed that the energy clone before him had dissipated, accompanied by a cold voice: "Little one, cultivate well!"
More than two hundred years later, Lincoln opened his eyes during his seclusion. Relying solely on that faith energy, he still hadn't achieved the status of Paragon. Full of vigor, he gently swiped his finger, and a space rift the size of a person appeared. Lincoln stepped inside, and the endless spatial turbulence whipped his black outfit, but it could not harm him in the slightest.
Lincoln looked indifferently at this "forbidden zone" that only Chief Sovereigns could enter, his heart filled with emotion. He pointed his hand, and the Darkness Chief Sovereign power he had collected for three hundred years appeared out of thin air. Like a ten-thousand-meter-long serpent, it coiled around Lincoln, contracted, and then exploded violently. The explosion radiated for a hundred million miles; even this dispersed power was enough to injure a low-tier Chief Sovereign.
Under the authority of the Chief Sovereign Spark, every drop of Chief Sovereign power acted like a general, controlling billions of dark elements to undergo mysterious changes. Covering an area of over a billion miles, a new plane gradually emerged.
Lincoln was completely immersed in his insights. The way the dark elements condensed benefited him greatly. Could "Secrecy" and "Devouring" be combined in this way? Could "Infinite Zone" be used like this? At this moment, the laws of dark elements were like a beauty shedding her clothes, allowing Lincoln to admire her to his heart's content, fully exposed, though some parts remained intertwined with light and shadow, making them impossible to see clearly.
Lincoln's dark elements, Shadow Clone Technique, devouring, and secrecy had already been fully fused with the other five profound mysteries, but the fusion of Infinite Zone and the evil profound mystery had yet to reach completion. Once he broke through, he would be able to achieve the fusion of all six profound mysteries!
