Becoming a God in a Secret Chamber

"By my calculations, there were only a few years left before the Graveyard of the Gods opened. Ｗｗ ＷＣＯＭ"

Entering the Graveyard of the Gods as a Saint, he could easily clear it as long as he revealed a portion of his strength. He had little interest in Sovereign Sparks or divine artifacts, and he did not even plan to enter.

However, he was somewhat interested in what lay beyond the twelfth floor, so Olivier wanted to break through as soon as possible.

The creatures inside were basically all extraordinarily gifted. Without sufficient strength, he could lose his life at any time. He did not know what conditions were like inside either, so he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Thus, he stopped sightseeing and focused on finding a miniature spatial secret chamber as soon as possible.

Finally, ten days later, Olivier discovered that large magic crystal mine.

He tunneled deeper and deeper, and the quality of the magic crystals steadily improved. The finest were comparable to rank seven or eight magic cores. At last, Olivier saw a door. He knew it was the entrance to the secret chamber.

Under the torchlight, the originally transparent magic crystals reflected hazy glimmers.

These magic crystals had actually formed from the various elements within the Space Turbulence leaking out through the door.

"This door is quite remarkable."

Olivier swept it with his soul force, only to find that he could not sense the door's existence at all. He had no idea how it had been constructed.

He armored himself with Light Element and Profundity of Darkness Element, then walked straight inside.

"Zzt, zzt."

The violent currents within the Space Turbulence were like blades. The moment Olivier stepped through the door, they frantically slashed him thousands upon thousands of times. Countless sparks burst across his energy shield.

The power was not especially great. Even if he had not prepared beforehand, it would not have inflicted fatal injuries on him.

Olivier's ** had undergone constant tempering, and the Taiji Vortex had continuously influenced it as well. Though the effect was slight, small gains added up. Olivier's ** was still inferior to Linley's, but ordinary magical beasts were likely no match for him.

The miniature space was like a transparent bubble, spherical and roughly ten meters in diameter. A membrane outside it protected the miniature space from the Space Turbulence.

Outside the membrane was the Space Turbulence, colorful and exceptionally dazzling.

Inside were a bed, table, and chairs, just like in a cultivation secret chamber.

"The furnishings are all here. Beirut must have stayed here for a long time."

He could clearly sense earth, wind, water, fire, light, darkness, and some mysterious energies that should have been the Four High Laws. Originally, Olivier could only sense light and darkness, but here, he could sense every element with extraordinary clarity. Their density was extremely high.

Cultivating magic here, even an ordinary person could probably reach rank six or seven. Anyone with a little talent could reach rank nine. Someone with talent like Delia's could likely reach the Saint level without any problem.

"This really is a wonderful place. Beirut obtained the bodies of the Four Divine Beasts and four Sovereign Sparks here."

That old fellow Beirut had truly incredible luck. Such a great opportunity had actually fallen into his lap. Still, only he could have snatched food from the Sovereign of Light Augusta.

Given the location and timing, strength was also required, along with that tough God-Eater Rat tail. If it had been a Swallowing Beast or a Ba Serpent, even if they had encountered it, they could only have watched helplessly.

"For now, this belongs to me."

Olivier looked around, sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating.

Inside this secret chamber, Olivier felt especially close to nature.

The brilliance, holiness, and warmth of light.

The blackness, silence, and evil of darkness.

The wind of nature, flowing water, burning flames.

Thriving life, death, and destruction.

He could clearly sense the Light Elemental Profundity and Darkness Elemental Profundity dozens of times more distinctly. He could clearly perceive their trajectories, which left traces in his heart one by one, allowing him to easily comprehend their wondrous power.

"This is practically a cheat."

Olivier focused on the two elements of light and darkness. When cultivating in the past, it had been like seeing a tiny flame several miles away in the dark. Now, a roaring blaze burned right before his eyes.

At this moment, Olivier was like someone who had entered a treasure vault filled with endless gold, silver, jewels, and treasures. Yet he could carry only so much. Everything was within reach, but for a moment, he did not know what to take.

He could faintly sense the profundities he had yet to comprehend, such as the holiness of light and the evil of darkness.

In the end, Olivier decided to first comprehend the Light Elemental Profundity and Darkness Elemental Profundity well enough to become a god. He would not study the others for now.

He could slowly study them after becoming a god.

As for the Profundity of Light Speed, he would leave it alone for now as well.

As he sensed pure light and pure darkness, free of all other impurities, he found that these two profundities had become intertwined ever since his soul mutation and his unconscious practice of Taiji Fist. They were no longer separate profundities. The two complemented and restrained each other, and Olivier knew that if he became a god, he would inevitably comprehend both at once.

Olivier felt as though he were cycling between day and night, darkness and light.

"So this is light and darkness."

If he had not been inside this secret chamber, his perception of darkness and light would not have been so pure. They would have been disturbed by layer upon layer of impurities.

Although Olivier had long cultivated his Light Elemental Profundity and Darkness Elemental Profundity to their limits, merely sensing them was not enough to make further progress. He also had to comprehend their final mysteries.

Those final mysteries required an opportunity.

Deep within the Dark Forest.

"Someone found the secret chamber I left behind?"

The ruler of the Yulan Continent, Beirut, had discovered Olivier within the secret chamber while passing the time in boredom.

This secret chamber held special meaning for Beirut. However, he had never returned after becoming a Sovereign. Occasionally, when he recalled his great feat of snatching food from the Sovereign of Light, he would miss this secret chamber and take a distant look at it.

Time passed, and two years quickly went by.

After two years of wandering through light and darkness and continuously deducing the Light Elemental Profundity and Darkness Elemental Profundity, Olivier realized that light and darkness were opposites. Without light, there would be no such thing as darkness.

At the same time, light was independent, and darkness was independent. Each possessed its own unique characteristics.

"It's here. This feeling is incredible."

In an instant.

A flash of inspiration struck, and Olivier broke through. It was an instantaneous sublimation, a clear crossing of the boundary between the Saint level and the divine level.

At the same time, the Light Elemental Profundity and Darkness Elemental Profundity completely fused into one.

A primordial, ancient power that shook the soul suddenly descended. It completely enveloped Olivier, and even the surrounding space twisted.

His body floated upward of its own accord.

Olivier had seen the same scene twice before, but only by truly experiencing it could he understand the power's might. It was boundless, vast beyond measure, ancient as though it had existed since eternity.

"This power is terrifying."

Only after personally experiencing it did he understand how tiny he was before it, like an ant. Fear naturally rose within him.

A special force invaded Olivier's mind. All his secrets seemed to be laid bare, and the profound mysteries of the laws he had comprehended were naturally exposed as well.

The force swept past, but at that moment, the transparent Taiji Diagram rotated once and absorbed a tiny trace of that force. Then it lay dormant again. Olivier nearly thought he had imagined it.

"Is this scanning me?"

This force resembled some kind of scanning machine, examining which profound mysteries of the laws he had comprehended.

"Zzt, zzt."

After the scan was complete.

Light and darkness elements frantically gathered above Olivier's head. Vast amounts of light and darkness elements flowed from the Space Turbulence into the spatial secret chamber, eventually forming two crystals. One radiated white light, while the other was pitch-black.

"These are my lower god divine sparks—light and darkness. Two of them at once."

The moment the two divine sparks formed, they immediately connected with Olivier's soul. He instantly knew they were his divine sparks and that he could control them freely.

Divine sparks formed through self-cultivation were tailored according to one's soul aura and fit perfectly. Becoming a god by refining a divine spark was like using a secondhand one; there would always be flaws. No two leaves were identical, much less two souls.

"Is this asking me to choose between becoming a god outside my body or within it?" A message suddenly appeared in Olivier's mind. "I heard the pain of soul division is countless times worse than childbirth. If not for gaining another life, I really wouldn't want to try it."

Olivier controlled the two divine sparks outside his body and informed the laws of the world that he chose to become a god externally.

"Ah, ah..."

The Sword-Shaped Soul within his sea of consciousness, wrapped in the laws of the world, split into three with a sharp tearing sound.

Olivier barely had time to cry out twice before the pain became so unbearable that he could no longer care about anything else. He convulsed instinctively.

The Sword-Shaped Soul divided into three, and under the effects of the laws of the world, became three identical Sword-Shaped Souls.

Olivier felt extremely weak.

Two Sword-Shaped Souls floated out of his body and fused with the two divine sparks. The moment they merged with the divine sparks, the souls felt a strange place that only gods could sense—the Elemental Ocean.

The soul within the light divine spark could sense the Light Elemental Ocean, while the one within the darkness divine spark sensed the Darkness Elemental Ocean.

Beneath the Elemental Ocean lay endless divine power.

Olivier could sense nearly a hundred meters beneath the surface of the Elemental Ocean, certainly much farther than Linley. His soul had originally formed from the fusion and mutation of two souls, making it incomparably powerful.

At the same time, centered around the two divine sparks, two divine clones exactly identical to Olivier formed—the Light God Clone and Darkness God Clone, both completely **.

"Seeing my own ** is so strange."

With a thought, the two divine clones respectively conjured white and black long robes.

Looking at himself was very strange. It was different from looking in a mirror. He could even touch the muscles of another self. Olivier directly controlled the two divine clones and merged them into his original body.

After the two divine clones entered his body.

The Light God Clone and Darkness God Clone entered the sea of consciousness and landed on the two eyes of the Taiji Vortex.

The calm sea of consciousness suddenly churned violently. The divine sparks within the two divine clones formed a mysterious connection with the Taiji Vortex.

Then.

"What is this supposed to do?"

The mutated Taiji Diagram vortex began to rotate slowly. The Taiji Vortex generated suction, and under its pull, a pitch-black pillar of light rose above the Darkness God Clone, while a holy white pillar of light rose above the Light God Clone.

Like smoke rising from the desert, and even more like a dragon drawing in water.

"Whoosh!"

The two pillars connected to the mysterious Elemental Ocean, and divine power poured down like flowing water, entering the Taiji Diagram through the two divine clones.

A vast amount of divine power came from the Elemental Ocean, turning the entire sea of consciousness turbulent.

An unending stream of divine power flowed from the two clones into the Taiji Vortex. After absorbing divine power for a while, the Taiji Vortex became increasingly distinct.

In that short time, it absorbed more divine power than had been needed to form the divine clones. Through the divine sparks, it directly drew even more divine power from the depths of the Elemental Ocean, like a bottomless pit.

"Boom!"

Wind and clouds surged through Olivier's sea of consciousness.

Olivier wanted to control it, but found that he could not control it at all. He did not even know how.

However, Olivier discovered that as the divine power was absorbed, his three divided souls were steadily growing. Before long, each individual soul was as large as his soul had been before splitting, while his original body also continuously grew stronger at a speed he could sense.

"At this rate of growth, I'm about to soar skyward on a rocket." He was stunned.

This was an enormously good thing, so Olivier gave up on trying to control it.

After several hours, having absorbed a sea of divine power, the Taiji Diagram finally had its fill and stopped on its own. Forming divine clones took only an instant, yet the Taiji Vortex had absorbed so much divine power. Olivier was extremely curious where all that divine power had gone.
