Fate Law Becomes God

For a god-level expert, a hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

During this century, Barn firmly grasped that sliver of enlightenment regarding the Fate Law, his mind focused, completely settling, digesting, and mastering it, finally truly comprehending his own Fate Law.

He also accepted Timothy's suggestion from back then, not stepping out of his post for a full hundred years, merely cultivating dryly but resolutely every day. It was as if this wasn't the bloody, precarious Gobada Plane Prison, but the peaceful and serene Yulan Continent.

Until this day—

A vast will of heaven and earth suddenly descended.

Inside the room, Barn's eyes snapped open, gazing at the new Godhead suspended above him, emitting a faint golden Fate Divine Power.

"I truly am a genius!" he declared, laughing heartily without reservation.

Yet, after the ecstatic joy came a heart-wrenching agony—

The pain of a soul splitting in two was something no one could easily endure.

Subsequently, under the baptism and empowerment of the will of heaven and earth, Barn's Fate Clone rapidly took shape.

At this moment, three figures stood in the room: his main body clad in Divine Artifact chainmail, his Water Clone wearing Ice Dragon Armor, and his Fate Clone draped in a golden robe.

As the three figures merged into one, Barn raised his hand, gathering the azure Water Divine Power and the brilliant golden Fate Divine Power in his palm. Under the control of his Soul Mutation talent, the two divine powers merged perfectly without any obstruction.

Barn carefully felt the surging power within him, frowning slightly, "The power isn't as exaggerated as I imagined, only about an eightfold increase. Is the purity of Fate Divine Power far inferior to Water Divine Power?"

One must know that Sovereign Powers are equal, but below Sovereign Power, the divine powers of Lowgod, Midgod, and Highgod levels have differences in purity.

Now, Barn's Water Law is constantly evolving, and his strength is rising accordingly. He can already reach sixty meters deep into the Lowgod Divine Power ocean. By his estimation, the limit of the Lowgod Divine Power ocean is one hundred meters, and below that is the realm of Midgod Divine Power.

As for the newly born Fate Divine Clone, it can currently only draw Fate Divine Power from ten meters deep within the divine power ocean.

Although the two divine powers have no level difference, their purity is worlds apart.

"However, an eightfold increase is already extremely rare," Barn quickly came to terms with it. "This power should have touched the threshold of Midgod Divine Power, at least equivalent to the strength of ten meters deep in the Midgod Divine Power ocean."

The gap between Lowgod Divine Power and Midgod Divine Power is not a gradual transition but a cliff-like chasm.

With his original Water Divine Power as the foundation, after an eightfold surge, it barely reached the most basic Midgod Divine Power level.

Then, Barn shifted his attention to his soul.

"The greatest advantage of Soul Mutation is the soul."

"When I broke through to the god-level, my soul was baptized by the will of heaven and earth. After the enhancement, the total amount of my soul is double that of an ordinary god-level expert, which I had already calculated when sparring with Gideon."

"Now, the soul strength of my Fate Clone is equivalent to that of my Water Clone when it first became a god."

"Besides this, there is another huge advantage: my soul's upper limit is also far higher than that of ordinary Lowgods of the same level—at least ten times higher! And this improvement is not exclusive to the Water Clone; after becoming a god through the Fate Law, the total soul amount will also far exceed that of ordinary god-level experts."

This is Barn's speculation based on his own situation.

(The original work did not explicitly state the soul limit for each realm, only mentioning that when Linley broke through to Highgod, his soul surged tenfold after being baptized by the laws of heaven and earth. This is a new setting, and readers are welcome to voice their opinions if they have any.)

During this past century, Barn's Water Clone's deduction of the Water Element and Water Body Technique had been lukewarm. The harsh environment of Gobada severely suppressed his speed of comprehending the Water element.

To accelerate his law comprehension, Barn's Water Clone consumed Soul Gold Beads one after another—of course, using the batch gifted by Annabelle back then.

Fukaloss had once told Barn that the soul limit of an ordinary Lowgod could absorb the essence of about a thousand Soul Gold Beads. Clearly, she could only give such a confident answer after personal experience.

Barn was currently short on funds, unlike the rich Fukaloss. After continuously absorbing eighty beads, his Water Clone's soul showed no signs of saturation, not even filling one percent of its capacity.

This was why he made the deduction: as a dual-element Soul Mutation expert, his soul's total upper limit was ten times that of an ordinary god-level expert of the same rank!

In other words, he would need to absorb ten thousand Soul Gold Beads to fill his soul, and now, both of his clones possessed such a terrifying soul upper limit!

After fully adapting to his new clone and familiarizing himself with the power of fused dual divine powers, Barn pushed open the door.

Outside, Declan and Adele's family had already been waiting.

During this past century, they had relied on the divine power emanating from Barn's Water Clone to nourish their cultivation. Of course, the divine power scattered by a single clone was not enough to sustain five peak Sanctuary-level magical beasts. Fortunately, the magical cores Barn distributed were sufficient, and the group did not suffer.

"Did you break through to Midgod?" Declan's eyes were full of anticipation.

Barn glanced at the Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragon, who had accompanied him the longest, and smiled, "It's not that easy. I became a god through the Fate Law."

Adele flattered him, "To become a dual-element god in less than two thousand years of cultivation, your talent is truly awe-inspiring."

Barn accepted the flattery calmly.

In Gobada, it was normal for the strong to be admired by the weak; if he were to be humble, it would make outsiders think he was weak and easily bullied.

Of course, Adele's family was also genuinely happy.

With Barn having one more divine clone, the scattered divine power would be more abundant, enough for the five of them to cultivate, with even some to spare.

During this past century, their family had been constantly worried, fearing that one day Barn might find it too burdensome to support five magical beasts with one clone and find an excuse to drive some of them away.

Barn asked, "Declan, Adele, how has your cultivation been progressing?"

Among the five magical beasts before him, only Declan and Adele had the greatest hope of becoming gods independently.

Declan had already reached the threshold of fusing the Darkness Element and Shadow Clone profound mysteries;

Adele's main body's comprehension of the Life Law had long been stuck at the threshold of god-level for over a thousand years.

Declan excitedly replied, "Just a little bit more! Just that tiny bit, and I'll be able to completely fuse the Darkness Element and Shadow Clone profound mysteries!"

Adele sighed softly, "I've also been stuck at the god-level threshold for a long time, but this situation has persisted for over a thousand years, always missing that final step."

She had once been a Light Element Lowgod, her lifespan exceeding ten thousand years. Her main body had continuously studied the Life Law but had always struggled to break through that final step.

Barn smiled slightly, "I've just broken through and want to test out some new moves in the wilderness. I won't go far. You all come with me."

Having become a dual-element god, he could finally unleash the true power of his Soul Mutation. Barn felt it was time to put in serious effort on techniques and fusion combat styles.
