Life Energy, Creating a Divine Plane
"Agnes, from today onwards, you will work for me."
Ren nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with Agnes's attitude. If Agnes were the kind of person who would swear allegiance to Tilly, he would have had to find another way.
"My Overlord, please give your orders!"
Agnes spoke from the heart, completely changing her attitude. As for Tilly, a moment of silent mourning in her mind was enough.
Ultimately, for most gods who have lived for countless years, there are not many people for whom they would risk everything. Moreover, the relationship between the Overgod has always been that of the high and mighty Overgod and the ordinary gods at the bottom, so there is no real affection between them.
Just like in Ren's memories of Blue Star, after the fall of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign, none of the Sovereign Envoy would help the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"Your ability is to elevate the very essence of other people's souls, isn't it?"
With a cold look in his eyes, Ren asked in a calm tone.
"Reporting to the Overlord, my Innate Divine Ability, Soul Nourishment, can indeed enhance the fundamental soul of others, but it requires a large amount of life energy, and I currently have no more Life Source Crystal..."
Agnes didn't hide anything and immediately gave a detailed account of her Innate Divine Ability and what Tilly had done over the years.
"Life energy?"
Ren fell into deep thought for a moment. Life Source Crystal, while not exactly an unattainable treasure, was something Ren had never sought before, so naturally he wouldn't have it.
Tilly's Spatial Ring was also empty. If Ren were to start collecting from scratch now, it would probably take a lot of time, and it might also attract the attention of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign.
If the Four Divine Beasts knew that the Water Overlord they risked their lives to kill had his High-level Sovereign Spark refined by Ren, they would probably fight Ren to the death without hesitation. The current Ren is no match for the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign.
Even though Ren could hide in the Material Plane and not be afraid of any other Overgod, it was not a long-term solution, and no one would want to be trapped in the Material Plane forever unless absolutely necessary.
"Wait a minute, what about life energy?"
A glint flashed in Ren's eyes. Suddenly remembering something, he took out a Crown of Wutie that exuded a life-giving aura from his Spatial Ring.
"Agnes, can we use this energy?"
Ren tossed the Crown of Wutie to Agnes and spoke with a hint of anticipation.
"Hmm? This... this is such pure life energy!"
Agnes's expression changed slightly for a moment, and she instinctively wanted to ask what it was, but fortunately she quickly realized she shouldn't ask, and simply nodded vigorously in response:
"My Overlord, this life energy is good. Although the quantity is small, the quality is very high, equivalent to hundreds of Life Source Crystal."
Upon hearing this, Ren nodded slightly. He had never thought of using the remaining life energy in the Crown of Wutie. On the one hand, once he reached the Paragon level, no one except the Overgod could kill him. If the Overgod killed him, the Crown of Wutie would be no different from scrap metal.
On the other hand, Ren was also afraid of being seen by a certain Overgod. In any case, the Crown of Wutie was Supreme God Token. Even without the Supreme God Appraisal, the Overgod would most likely not recognize it, and Ren was unwilling to gamble.
"Since it's possible, let's begin!"
Ren waved his hand, looked at Agnes, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
Agnes nodded respectfully, absorbing the life energy into her body. Then, a huge Spirit Mist Snowflake slowly appeared behind her, and a strong life force began to spread.
"Buzz~~~"
Innate Divine Ability - Soul Nourishment
The energy of life transformed into a special halo, slowly seeping into Ren's brow. At the same time, Ren felt his sea of souls boiling, and a comfortable feeling spread throughout his body.
"This feeling? It seems like there are signs of a breakthrough?"
Ren quickly sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and a faint blue halo appeared on his body. The Sovereign’s Might within him began to circulate.
At this moment, Ren felt that the fusion of his Water Law Mysteries loosened considerably, and that there was a direction for further progress.
However, none of that is the main point. The most important thing is that he can feel that his true self has changed. His soul seems to have undergone the transformation that occurred the moment he became a god, resulting in a fundamental improvement.
In the Coiling Dragon Universe, the Paragon is the true upper limit of cultivation realm. Even the strongest, Oufu, is at this realm. Given his crazy personality of becoming stronger at all costs, he must have researched realms above the Paragon, but eventually gave up and changed direction to focus on mastering material attack techniques.
Since cultivating the wind element to the Paragon realm, Ren has pondered many times that the Paragon of a single element seems to be the pinnacle that life can reach. While the difficulty of cultivating to the Paragon realm is certainly a factor, the more likely reason is the limitation imposed on the soul.
Simply put, this world itself imposes limitations on the souls of life, preventing them from breaking through to the Dual-Element Paragon. After Paragon of the Wind Element, Ren could sense that his profound fusion of Mysteries Water Law seemed unlikely to break through to the Great Perfection.
However, now, the fundamental improvement of his soul has made Ren feel a new possibility. His current soul may be able to withstand the transformation of his two Paragon avatars.
"Perhaps, I can become the first person in countless planes to achieve the Dual-Element Paragon!"
Ren was filled with excitement, constantly absorbing life energy and thus continuously improving his soul.
After an unknown amount of time, her life energy was finally exhausted. Agnes collapsed to the ground, pale-faced, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Good! Agnes, you did a great job."
Ren slowly opened his eyes, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face.
"This is what I should do, My Overlord!"
Agnes wiped the sweat from her brow, her tone remaining respectful.
"For now, you will stay here and not return to the Divine Plane."
After nodding, Ren spoke up, saying that if Agnes were to appear in the Divine Plane at present, she would risk being discovered by the Four Divine Beasts. It would be best for her to remain in the Material Plane.
"Yes, sir!"
Agnes did not raise any objection, nor was she entitled to do so; she simply replied respectfully.
Without saying a word, Ren moved swiftly, tearing through space and disappearing from the continent, quickly arriving deep within the Spatial Turbulence.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"
A massive amount of Sovereign’s Might began to emerge around Ren through the Elemental Ocean, resembling a galaxy amidst the cool, Spatial Turbulence.
Create Divine Plane is a power granted to Overgod by the Sovereign Spark. Every newly ascended Overgod does this because the process enhances their understanding of the Mysteries of the laws, and like the Power of Faith, it is an opportunity for breakthrough.
