The emotions in his laughter kept shifting, sometimes excited, sometimes arrogant.
Before the laughter stopped, Rhodes had already vanished.
Now that hope was in his grasp, Rhodes only needed to strengthen his Divine Body as quickly as possible, first bringing it to the level of a Sovereign Artifact, then slowly surpassing that level to reach even greater heights.
Once I've strengthened my Divine Body as much as possible, it'll be time to study Hongmeng spiritual energy. Besides... At this thought, Rhodes clenched his fists. I still have a system, the system that brought me from another world into the Coiling Dragon Universe.

If he could locate the system and use it as a vessel to store Hongmeng spiritual energy, could he slowly study that energy until he discovered how to absorb it, cultivate a Hongmeng body, and follow Linley's example of transcending through sheer power?
