Boya Continent.
At the summit of ' Mount Tesla ', where the dimensional teleportation array is located in the Nightmare Forest.
"Buzz~~" A hazy light appeared.
A blurry, enormous figure appeared within the teleportation array, naturally emanating a terrifying aura.
"This is... Lord Liwa?"
Pujiasi, the wine-red-haired youth guarding the teleportation array, felt as if he were being suffocated by the oppressive aura. He stared in horror at the blurry figure within the teleportation array.
After the light from the teleportation array faded, he finally saw the blurry figure clearly. It was a strong giant over three meters tall, with bulging muscles, a cold face, and wearing simple blue armor. His strange purple hair moved without wind.
" Planar Overseer, Highgod?" Liwa was somewhat surprised, but he could sense that the young man's soul aura was very weak, and he guessed that he was just a Highgod who Refine Divine Spark to become a god.
"It must be Lord Liwa. The Sovereign resides in that direction." Pujiasi pointed out the direction to Liwa with a smile. Liwa nodded, then suddenly soared into the sky and disappeared in a flash to the east. His speed was so fast that Pujiasi couldn't even see him clearly.
"We're both Highgod, yet I can't even see Lord Liwa's speed clearly. Is this what a strong Highgod is like?" Pujiasi couldn't help but look on with longing.
After exiting the dimensional teleportation array, Liwa flew towards the depths of the vast East Sea in this plane. Soon after, he discovered a magnificent palace complex standing on a huge island.
"Just come in."
Just as Liwa arrived outside the palace complex, the voice of the Sovereign appeared in his mind.
With great excitement, Liwa quickly entered the dark blue-green hall at the very center and highest point.
Upon seeing the handsome young man in a long black robe on the throne, Liwa immediately prostrated himself, " Liwa greets Your Sovereign."
Get up.
Luo Ao's voice rang out.
Liwa immediately straightened up and looked at the newly Water Element Sovereign, wondering what kind of opportunity this ruler was referring to.
"I know what you're thinking. The process isn't complicated, but you must not tell anyone else about this." As if sensing his thoughts, the calm voice of the Sovereign suddenly rang out again.
"Yes, Liwa swears in the name of the Life Overgod that he will never reveal this to anyone..." Seeing how much the Sovereign cared about this matter, Liwa did not delay and immediately made a vow in the name of the Overgod.
" Liwa, you haven't signed an ' Equal Contract ' before, have you?" Luo Ao stepped down from the throne and approached Liwa.
" Equal Contract? Replying to the Sovereign, Liwa has never made a contract with anyone." As a divine beast, Liwa naturally knew that all magical beasts or divine beasts had one opportunity to make an ' Equal Contract,' but very few beings had actually made an ' Equal Contract.'
"Could this opportunity be connected to the power of the contract?" Liwa wondered to himself.
The power of this contract does not belong to any rule or Laws, but some of its restrictive abilities are comparable to the oath of the Overgod. However, this ' Equal Contract ' does not harm either party.
"That's good. You'll enter into this ' Equal Contract ' with me."
Upon hearing the command from the Sovereign, Liwa did not hesitate and immediately began to forge a contract. During this process, Liwa also demanded a drop of Luo Ao's blood, and then a strange contract magic circle formed in mid-air.
The contract magic circle split in two in the void, with one part flying into Luo Ao's body and the other into Liwa's body.
"Now pay attention to your soul, and I will help you undergo a 'transformation'."
The preparations have been completed; now comes the real 'transformation'.
"Transformation?" Liwa murmured to himself, then calmly focused on his soul.
At the same time, Luo Ao also began to activate the ' Soul Gold Thread ' that had suddenly appeared in his soul.
He had already figured out the true purpose of this ' Soul Gold Thread '.
Go!
With the 'power of the contract' as a bridge, this Soul Gold Thread followed the special energy flowing from the Myriad Worlds Pearl towards the contract partner and directly rushed into Liwa's soul!
Immediately afterwards, Liwa discovered that his own soul had undergone a tremendous transformation!
"My soul..." At this moment, Liwa didn't know how to describe this feeling. He felt that his soul, which had already grown to its limit, was once again experiencing an unprecedented sense of emptiness.
At this moment, he felt that his soul could probably absorb a massive amount of Soul Gold Bead again to expand step by step.
However, the growth of the soul itself is only secondary. More importantly, his soul is no longer the same after this 'mutation'. This is a fundamental baptism and sublimation of his soul, not just a simple strengthening of the soul.
Almost at the instant the soul undergoes a transformation.
Suddenly, Liwa closed his eyes.
The insurmountable barrier that had always stood in his way had finally vanished. Before him lay a bright and open road.
"I see."
In that instant, he finally understood the essence of the Laws of Water Elements and what it truly symbolized for this world.
"Did it succeed?" Luo Ao didn't interrupt Liwa, but silently watched what was happening.
Suddenly, with a loud "boom," a peculiar Natural Laws descended! It landed on Liwa's tall body in the hall.
" The Natural Laws have descended."
Luo Ao's expression became unusually focused as he silently observed what was happening.
For Liwa, however, a peculiar feeling arose from his heart; a powerful energy suddenly appeared above the heavens and earth, completely enveloping him.
Liwa felt a special will descend upon him, once again cleansing and sublimating his soul, but this sublimation seemed even more special.
The Laws of the World come quickly and go quickly.
When Liwa opened his eyes again, his aura was completely suppressed, making him almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
He finally crossed that threshold. It had been hundreds of millions of years since he reached the final bottleneck of the fusion of Water Law, and he had originally thought that he would never find the final opportunity to break through.
Unexpectedly, through the new Water Element Sovereign, he actually seized this opportunity for a breakthrough.
"How does it feel to Paragon?" I heard the Sovereign's teasing voice.
Liwa's expression turned solemn. He was experiencing a peculiar feeling, a special sense of the surrounding space, like that of an emperor.
Is this what control is...?
Liwa raised his palm and clenched his fist slightly. Black spatial rifts appeared around him. He stood still, but felt no panic at being swallowed by the Spatial Turbulence. Moreover, he felt that even a casual strike from him would unleash unparalleled beauty and power!
However, since this was the abode of the Sovereign, Liwa did not attempt anything excessive.
"Is this the Willpower of the Paragon's will? It's truly unreasonable." Liwa once asked the Sovereign about the secret behind the Paragon's immense power, and the Sovereign's answer was just four words— the Willpower!
Today, he finally understands the Willpower.
"Congratulations, Liwa." Hearing the congratulations from the Sovereign, Liwa instantly snapped out of his daze, feeling immense gratitude in his heart.
He understood that without this opportunity bestowed by the Sovereign, he would always have been stuck at the last step.
"Thank you, Sovereign." Liwa remained respectfully prostrate on the ground.
Normally, those at the Paragon do not need to kneel and bow so deeply to the Sovereign; they only bow slightly in front of the Sovereign. However, Liwa's reverence for Luo Ao made him still perform such a ceremony.
"No need for that." Luo Ao smiled faintly after seeing this scene, but he was quite satisfied with Liwa's actions, as it was worth it for him to have specially granted the other party this opportunity.
"You are still Soul Mutation. If other Sovereign ask you about this in the future, use this as your answer." Luo Ao understood that Liwa's sudden breakthrough to the Paragon would definitely arouse the curiosity and even further questions of many Sovereign, and this reason was enough to convince them.
" Soul Mutation." Liwa nodded solemnly. Although he had only focused on breaking through to the Paragon realm, he had indeed noticed the changes in himself after the breakthrough.
However, Soul Mutation is a matter of life and death! Those who survive by chance are merely survivors. As for him, he had not actually experienced any danger.
He understood that his Soul Mutation was ultimately different from those of others.
"To be able to cause a person's Soul Mutation without any risk, this person's methods are truly unfathomable." Recalling the previous process, Liwa could only guess that this method was likely related to the mysterious 'power of contract'.
Despite his not-so-tall figure, Luo Ao's ability to unleash such incredible techniques instantly shrouded Luo Ao in mystery, making him completely unable to see through him.
"According to the agreement between the Sovereign, I cannot bestow upon you a second Sovereign Artifact. However, you can take these Sovereign’s Might and this Sovereign token." Luo Ao valued this Sovereign's Emissary of Paragon High-God quite a bit, even bestowing upon him a Sovereign token that could mobilize the Sovereign army.
"Thank you, Sovereign."
Upon seeing these gifts from the Sovereign, Liwa immediately accepted them with utmost respect.
"Let's go back."
Under Luo Ao's watchful gaze, Liwa returned to the Divine Plane once more.
It's anyone's guess how much trouble this newly ascended Paragon High-God will stir up.
" Paragon! I never thought it could actually be achieved..." Luo Ao himself found it somewhat unbelievable.
What is Paragon?
The Profound Mysteries of the Laws and perfectly integrated, which is the Paragon High-God!
Paragon High-God, the pinnacle among gods!
Each one of them is exceptionally talented, possesses extraordinary comprehension, incredible luck, and an inhuman level of diligence in their training!
People like Liwa and Mosi are geniuses second only to the Paragon High-God.
While Liwa's breakthrough was indeed due to the 'opportunity' granted by Luo Ao, his original accumulation of knowledge was already sufficient. Luo Ao simply gave him a gentle push at this final juncture.
But this one step alone makes all the difference between heaven and earth.
Luo Ao had previously tested the uses of the ' Soul Gold Thread ', which could cause his contracted partner to undergo two-elemental mutations and enhance their soul potential, so he had planned to conduct this experiment beforehand.
However, he never expected that, through his efforts, a new Paragon being would actually be born in this world.
