High-God

Aier's Equipment Slot, aside from its inability to instantly kill gods of the same level, was in no way inferior to the innate divine ability of Beirut, God-Slaying.

In fact, it far exceeded it.

The two were simply not on the same level.

Beirut's innate divine ability could only devour and refine divine sparks.

But Aier's Equipment Slot could refine everything!

If Aier possessed Overgod Power right now, he would have wanted to test whether, after refining it, he could gain the ability to extract Overgod Power from the currencies used in the various Divine Planes and Supreme Planes, or even autonomously fuse elemental energy into Overgod Power.

...Eighteen years later...

"Hum—"

The laws of heaven and earth descended. In a house not far from Aier's courtyard, Olga's face turned ashen.

He had been played!

Those who become gods by refining divine sparks do not trigger the descent of the laws of heaven and earth when they refine higher-level divine sparks, even though their strength increases.

As far as Olga knew, the descent of the laws of heaven and earth only occurred when a living being became a god, or advanced to a Mid-God or High-God.

After receiving news from his son West, Olga had immediately rushed to Caeles City and rented a house not far from Aier to monitor him.

Olga was confident that even if Aier had become a High-God by refining a divine spark, he could kill Aier the moment he left Caeles City and seize his spatial ring.

But now, the descent of the laws of heaven and earth made Olga realize that he had underestimated Aier!

This guy was not a Demigod who had achieved godhood by refining a divine spark, but one who had become a god independently!

"To be able to deceive my senses, so that I couldn't perceive the aura of laws from you..."

Narrowing his eyes, Olga sneered, "Aier, it seems the secrets you hold are even greater than I imagined."

"In that case, the harvest after killing you will be even greater!"

He was no ordinary High-God!

Anything capable of deceiving his divine sense must be some kind of heaven and earth treasure with concealment abilities.

Looking at it this way, the ability Aier possessed to merge into the ground, which West had mentioned, was likely also an effect of this heaven and earth treasure.

Furthermore, Olga speculated that the abilities of this heaven and earth treasure might not stop there.

Aier had only become a Demigod a little over a hundred years ago.

Yet now, he was already a Mid-God.

From this, Olga guessed that if it wasn't because Aier's talent was exceptional, then this heaven and earth treasure must possess the ability to accelerate the comprehension of the mysteries of the laws.

As for Aier's cultivation talent...

Taking over a million years to become a god—what kind of talent was that?

He likely only began to rise after obtaining this heaven and earth treasure!

Whether it was the Blood-Red Source Crystal or the heaven and earth treasure, they should all belong to him!

Killing Aier was merely a means to reclaim what was his.

"As expected, after becoming a Mid-God, the refining speed of the Equipment Slot has increased again!"

After placing an Amethyst into the Equipment Slot and selecting refine, Aier could barely contain the grin on his face.

Seven days!

Aier now only needed seven days to refine one Amethyst!

And after Aier refined seventeen Amethysts, raising his soul power to his current limit, the time required to refine a Demigod Divine Spark had already been shortened to eleven years!

Compared to the previous eighteen years, that was a full seven years less!

"Continue!"

Without hesitation, Aier selected four more Demigod Divine Sparks from his spatial ring.

For others, they would not know what mysteries of the laws were contained within the divine sparks they refined.

But for Aier, that was not a problem at all.

He only needed to place a divine spark into the Equipment Slot to know exactly what mysteries of the laws it contained.

To Aier's surprise, after equipping a divine spark containing the same mysteries of the laws he had already comprehended, he could feel the intensity of his own mysteries of the laws double!

It was as if a single attack of his now had a dual effect.

Temporarily setting aside the urge to test whether refining divine sparks of the same mysteries would provide an even greater boost, Aier continued to refine the divine sparks.

He would become a High-God first to increase the refining speed of the Equipment Slot!

In any case, he wasn't leaving the city right now, so he might as well keep the snowball rolling!

Forty-five years later, Olga watched the Laws of the World descend once again upon Aier's small courtyard, a sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Admittedly, Olga had to concede that Aier was quite lucky to have stolen the treasure that should have been his right under his very nose.

But Aier, who had never left the Crimson Blood Tribe, knew nothing of the mysteries of the Profound Laws.

He probably assumed that by becoming a High-God, he could stand as his equal, right?

To go from a Mid-God to a High-God in forty-five years—Olga did not believe for a second that Aier had managed to fuse any Profound Laws!

He, on the other hand, was a powerhouse who had fully fused two Profound Laws!

Within a radius of ten million kilometers, only the City Lord of Caeles City was worthy of Olga's respect.

Everyone else was just trash!

However, what made Olga's expression darken further was that even after becoming a High-God, Aier was still hiding in his small courtyard, showing no intention of leaving Caeles City.

Taking a deep breath, Olga calmed the rage in his heart.

Although Olga was certain that if he made a move, not even Caeles could save Aier.

But this was a city, and the Overgods forbade fighting within city limits.

He dared not provoke the majesty of an Overgod.

"Three days!"

After becoming a High-God, it only took Aier three days to refine a single Amethyst.

Only after refining over a hundred Amethysts did Aier manage to bring his soul power back to its limit.

Then, the time required to refine an Amethyst dropped to two days.

The time to refine a Demigod Divine Spark was even shortened to within three years!

It could be said that the gap between a High-God and a Mid-God was even greater than Aier had imagined.

It was an all-encompassing superiority.

Aier had previously known that the difference in strength between a Demigod, a Mid-God, and a High-God, aside from the difference in their Divine Domains, lay in the intensity of their divine power.

But a person possessed more than just divine power; they also had a physical body and a soul!

The divine power of a High-God was ten times stronger than that of a Mid-God.

In terms of physique, there wasn't much difference between them.

The strength of the soul was also ten times that of a Mid-God.

Therefore, unless it was a High-God who had refined a Divine Spark, a High-God who had attained godhood through their own efforts was dozens of times stronger than an average Mid-God!

It was precisely for this reason that in the strength rankings of the Fiend Castle, a High-God who attained godhood by refining a Divine Spark was a Three-Star Fiend.

Meanwhile, a High-God who attained godhood independently was a Four-Star Fiend.

"Next, I shall attempt to refine a Mid-God Divine Spark!"

A Demigod Divine Spark only contained one type of Profound Law.

Only a Mid-God could potentially be a genius who had completed the fusion of two Profound Laws.
