Heaven-Defying Cheat

Olivier and Catherine's relationship had progressed considerably. Catherine understood Olivier's feelings very well, and it was not as though she disliked him. But Olivier already had Sophie and Jessica, and she found that difficult to accept.

Thus, she had never been able to take that final step and accept Olivier.

"Catherine, what did you come to the Graveyard of the Gods for?"

Olivier suddenly realized that the Graveyard of the Gods Beirut had created was utterly useless to geniuses like them, who had become gods through their own efforts. For example, killing someone to seize a divine spark might be a treasure to someone like the War God, but it was of no use to him at all.

"Probably to obtain divine sparks and divine artifacts. But that was before I met you. I had always wanted to obtain a midgod spark of the Life Element. Now, though, I want to become a highgod through my own cultivation instead of relying on a divine spark, so coming to the Graveyard of the Gods has become more of a trial."

Catherine said.

Olivier understood this very clearly: Saints entered the Graveyard of the Gods to obtain divine sparks and become gods; deities entered to obtain Sovereign Sparks and become Sovereigns; or to obtain Sovereign Artifacts and become Sovereign emissaries.

That was what made the Graveyard of the Gods so appealing.

But Olivier also knew that none of them could possibly obtain a Sovereign Spark, and that obtaining a Sovereign Artifact was almost equally impossible.

Therefore, Olivier only wanted to go down to the next level to take a look. He was not seeking any treasure.

Outside the Graveyard of the Gods, Beirut had been watching all along.

When he discovered that Olivier, despite being only a lower god, could rival a midgod, he instantly understood that Olivier had fused the profound mysteries of two different laws: Light and Darkness.

"A genius, a true genius! What a pity, what a pity!"

As Beirut praised him, he also sighed when he thought of the attribute of his own Sovereign Spark.

"With his talent, he should be able to become a highgod comparable to a Paragon."

Beirut evaluated him again.

"In that case, what gift should I give him?"

Beirut muttered to himself.

"Then that is what I'll do."

Taros and Dylin were also on the thirteenth level of the Graveyard of the Gods.

After leaving the Moon Elf Race, their goal had been to find divine-level experts to challenge, kill, and plunder.

Dylin, meanwhile, needed to find lower god sparks for his children.

They had walked for a long time without encountering any divine-level experts.

"I heard the Beast God was killed by someone named Olivier in the Moon Elf Race," said a long-faced lower god.

"I heard about it too. The Beast God and the Wolf God, two highgods, went to the Moon Elf Race together. They had planned to besiege Isabelle and then wipe out the Moon Elf Race. In the end, the Beast God was killed. They say that Olivier was only a lower god. He actually managed to kill a highgod. Who knows how he cultivated?" said the round-faced lower god opposite him. Clearly, he had also heard the news and knew more of the details.

"If we could obtain his cultivation method, perhaps we could become that powerful too," the long-faced lower god said eagerly.

"Why would he tell you? Even the Beast God was killed by him. In his eyes, we are beneath notice," the round-faced lower god said.

Taros and Dylin had encountered divine-level experts for the first time: two lower gods.

"Is what you just said true?" Taros and Dylin stepped out and came before the two lower gods.

"My lords, everything we said is true. News of the Beast God's death has already spread," the long-faced lower god hurriedly replied when two midgods suddenly appeared.

"Olivier has that kind of strength?" Taros asked Dylin.

Taros found it unbelievable at first and could not bring himself to believe it. Even Beirut's most outstanding lower gods could only possibly kill a midgod through a sneak attack, yet now they were being told that a lower god could kill a highgod.

"You don't know, so naturally I don't either. Why don't we go back and see for ourselves?"

Dylin said. He did not quite believe it either.

Then, with perfect unspoken understanding, the two killed the lower gods, collected their belongings, and hurried toward the Moon Elf Race.

"Olivier, you actually killed a highgod—and not an ordinary highgod at that. How did you do it?" Taros and Dylin raced day and night back to the Moon Elf Race, and this was the first thing they asked Olivier.

On the way back, they had encountered members of the Moon Elf Race and questioned them thoroughly, confirming the story. The entire Moon Elf Race was deeply grateful to Olivier and worshipped him immensely.

"That is a secret. I haven't even told Catherine. Besides, only I can use this method. Telling you would be useless anyway." In truth, many people had already come to ask how Olivier had done it.

Olivier had refused them all.

"I never expected that, after becoming a god for so short a time, you would already be able to kill a highgod. Although we are divine beasts blessed with extraordinary talent, even as lower gods, we would not have dared challenge midgods, much less highgods. Compared to you, Olivier, you are the true genius. I am deeply impressed," Dylin said.

"I am very impressed as well," Taros said.

Both were divine beasts, proud and arrogant by nature, and had always stood at the top among those of the same level on the Yulan Continent. Now Olivier had left them so far behind that comparison was impossible. Instead, they sincerely hoped Olivier would grow even stronger, so they might have a chance to cling to his coattails.

Taros and Dylin stayed for a while after returning, then left again.

The Wind God also paid a visit to the Moon Elf Race, but Olivier was in no hurry to descend to the next level.

He felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, so he planned to wait until after breaking through before going down.

There were already highgods on this level. The next level would certainly contain even stronger experts, so he had to be cautious.

In addition, his true body on the Yulan Continent had made an extremely important discovery.

Olivier had always known that practicing Taiji Fist could help him comprehend and fuse profound mysteries of laws. But after studying it for some time, he discovered that within his Taiji Diagram, Light and Darkness intertwined, collided, and fused. From the Taiji Diagram, he could see the process by which profound mysteries of laws fused together.

Yes. As long as Olivier had already comprehended a profound mystery of a law, the Taiji Diagram actually contained a tutorial for fusing it.

For example, Olivier had comprehended the Profundity of Light Element and the Profundity of Darkness Element. Where Light and Darkness intersected, the two profound mysteries were fusing together, allowing him to sense exactly how they fused. Likewise, he could sense how the Profundity of Light Speed fused with the Profundity of Shadow Clone Technique.

Furthermore, on the side of the Taiji Diagram representing the Profundity of Light Element, the Light Elemental Profundity he had comprehended was also fusing with the Profundity of Light Speed, and he could likewise sense how they fused.

This meant that he could learn to fuse profound mysteries of laws through perception.

It was like learning to solve a Rubik's Cube for the first time. Both the starting state and the finished state were shown to you, but how could you turn the starting state into the finished one? One way was for someone to tell you the steps for turning the cube; the other was to figure it out yourself.

If you knew the steps, you only needed to follow them one by one. If you had to figure them out yourself, you might need countless attempts.

In the past, Olivier had needed to figure it out himself. Now, he knew the steps, allowing him to fuse profound mysteries of laws countless times faster.

This was a heaven-defying cheat.

The moment his true body made the discovery, it immediately entered seclusion to comprehend it.

He aimed to quickly fuse the Light Elemental Profundity with the Profundity of Light Speed, and the Darkness Elemental Profundity with the Profundity of Shadow Clone Technique, becoming a midgod.
