Andrew briefly explained the matter of the Sovereign’s Might, as well as how to use it. Han Yue understood Andrew's intentions and did not refuse, storing the Sovereign’s Might into her spatial ring.
"With the protection of the Sovereign’s Might, even if Yue'er is Lowgod, ordinary Highgod shouldn't be able to harm her."
With this assurance, Andrew felt somewhat relieved. However, he then remembered that he now only had a single drop of Sovereign’s Might left.
Originally, the Azure Dragon Ring contained only three Water Sovereign Power. He used one drop during the battle against Kepulang, and now he has given one drop to Han Yue, leaving him with only one drop.
" The Sovereign’s Might, that's a wonderful thing, but unfortunately, I only have three drops..."
Andrew gazed out the window, his mind racing with thoughts of how to obtain the Sovereign’s Might.
The primary way to obtain the Sovereign’s Might is to receive a reward from Sovereign. The Sovereign’s Might is a unique Sovereign Divine Power, fundamentally different from the Divine Power of other gods. It is not only Divine Power but also contains the Willpower.
That's right, it's the Willpower. Otherwise, the Sovereign’s Might wouldn't be able to amplify such strength.
Of course, a single drop of Sovereign’s Might contains very little of its Willpower... even so, it is still very precious.
"It's a pity that the Sovereign Zijing left too soon..." Andrew still feels some regret when he thinks about this.
Besides the Sovereign, some top-tier powerhouses can also refine the Sovereign’s Might, a method that Andrew is also considering.
"The material for refining the Sovereign’s Might is this Inkstone. Inkstone is created by the Sovereign using the Sovereign’s Might, and each stone contains a very small amount of the Sovereign’s Might. However, if there are enough Inkstone, these trace amounts of residue can accumulate into a drop of the Sovereign’s Might."
The original book states that there is a powerful being in the Infernal Realm who appears to be at the Paragon and can extract the Sovereign’s Might from the Inkstone. This powerful being is named Aiken, and he lives in seclusion on the Zijing Continent. On the Zijing Continent, Aiken's reputation is no less than that of Beirut on the Blood Peak Continent.
Beirut of the Blood Peak Continent, Aiken of the Purple Thorn Continent, and Dennington of the Chaotic Sea—these three are the most renowned and invincible powerhouses in Hell. Many even suspect that they have cultivated the laws to perfection, becoming invincible, high-level gods.
However, Andrew knew that among the three, Beirut was not at the Paragon, but his strength was no less than that of Paragon master, and perhaps even surpassed it. Dunnington was indeed at the Paragon Paragon stage, and was one of the best among them. As for Aiken, he was only mentioned briefly in the original book, and Andrew could not determine his strength. However, just from the fact that Aiken could refine the Sovereign’s Might from the Inkstone, Andrew knew that he was very likely at the Paragon.
The Sovereign’s Might is extremely difficult to grasp. Unless one has reached the Paragon and possesses the Willpower, it is impossible to perfectly control the Sovereign’s Might. Without perfect control over the Sovereign’s Might, how can Sovereign’s Might refine it from the Inkstone?
"Is it only those who have reached the Paragon who can refine the Sovereign’s Might?" Andrew looked at the Azurnite slab in his hand and infused it with his Divine Power.
A single piece of Azurnite slab is equivalent to 100,000 Inkstone, and correspondingly, it contains far more Sovereign’s Might than Inkstone.
As soon as Andrew's Divine Power entered the Azurnite slab, he felt a wave of dizziness, as if he had been hit by something. However, he recovered after a moment. At this moment, above his Elemental Sea, the Golden Dragon Golden Dragon soul lay listlessly, and above its head, a Soul Stone Soul Stone the size of a finger floated, with a misty aura emanating from it like smoke and rain, enveloping the Golden Dragon soul.
"What just happened?" A huge question arose in Andrew's mind, along with a lingering fear.
When Andrew came to his senses, he found himself deep inside the Azurnite slab.
"This must be the core of the Azurnite Slab, right?"
Inside the Azurnite slab, Andrew's Divine Power conjured a human figure. This figure looked around and found that it seemed to have entered the starry sky, with countless stars all around.
Andrew couldn't help but marvel at how wondrous the interior of this small slab of Azurnite was!
"These specks of light give me a strange feeling." The illusory figure flew to a speck of light and reached out to touch it...
"So heavy! Even with my Divine Power, it's so difficult to move it. However, I think I know what this is... These specks of light must be the Sovereign’s Might!"
When Andrew's Divine Power touched the point of light, a familiar aura emanated from his soul. This aura was no different from the Destruction Sovereign Power he had seen before, except that it was extremely faint.
In an instant, Andrew realized that these points of light were the Destruction Sovereign Power contained within the Azurnite Slab!
"What would happen if I gathered these points of light together?" Andrew wondered expectantly, while the figure conjured by his Divine Power began the arduous journey of moving them. After an unknown amount of time, the star-like points of light were pushed together, eventually coalescing into a huge sphere of light.
"One hundred thousand points of light... One piece of Azurnite stone is equivalent to one hundred thousand Inkstone. Doesn't that mean that one point of light represents one Inkstone?"
Having completed this task, Andrew keenly perceived the relationship between the light spots and the Inkstone. However, looking at the enormous sphere of light, Andrew was troubled again.
"I've already gathered the light spots together, but how can I extract them? I'm already struggling to move even a single light spot; I'm afraid I can't move 100,000 of them together with my Divine Power."
Andrew could sense that the power contained within these points of light was not strong, but there was a peculiar aura surrounding them. This aura was vast and heavy, just like the heavens and earth themselves.
"Could this be the Willpower?"
The figure conjured by his Divine Power touched a point of light, but the aura outside the point of light repelled Andrew's Divine Power.
Completely immersed in the Azurnite slab, Andrew forgot everything. Beside him, Han Yue, seeing him like this, did not disturb him.
"My Divine Power can enter this stone slab and move the Sovereign’s Might, but I have no way to refine the Sovereign’s Might from the stone slab."
Andrew secretly tried several times to capture those points of light from the Azurnite slab, but without success.
However, he did not give up, but continued to try.
Six months later, Andrew finally figured out the secret behind the Azurnite Slab.
"My guess was correct. These points of light are the Sovereign’s Might. To refine the Sovereign’s Might, we must first resolve the Willpower contained within them."
Above the Elemental Sea, in front of the Golden Dragon's soul, floated a firefly-like point of light. This point of light was what he had extracted from the Azurnite Slab.
It took Andrew half a year to extract a single point of light, demonstrating just how difficult it was to refine the Sovereign’s Might from the Inkstone!
It's important to understand that a single drop of Sovereign’s Might is equivalent to the accumulation of trillions of light points. This means that refining a single drop of Sovereign’s Might requires trillions of Inkstone. Since Andrew only refines one Inkstone every six months, how long would it take him to obtain a single drop of Sovereign’s Might?
However, besides the spot of light, Andrew had another gain.
Just as his Divine Power entered the Azurnite Slab, Andrew's soul was struck by an impact far stronger than he had imagined. However, he quickly recovered and successfully explored the core of the Azurnite Slab. This was not due to the strength of his soul power, but rather the Soul Stone!
The Inkstone and Azurnite Slabs were created by the Sovereign and are beyond the comprehension of ordinary gods. Only those at the Paragon with the Willpower can barely refine them. Andrew believed that his soul power was comparable to that of a Paragon master, but he still lacked the Willpower.
What is the Willpower?
The Willpower is the will of heaven and earth. To possess the Willpower is equivalent to gaining the approval of this universe. With the Willpower, whether in attack or defense, whether in the physical body or the soul, one's strength can be increased a hundredfold or a thousandfold!
Why is the Sovereign so high above? With a single thought, He can annihilate any powerhouse below the Paragon.
Why is the Paragon realm considered the pinnacle of gods? Because when they fight, they can imprison other Commander -level powerhouses.
All of this is because they possess the Willpower!
With the Willpower, one will have the assistance of heaven and earth in battle. The more Willpower, the more assistance heaven and earth will provide... Fighting against a strong person with the Willpower is, in a sense, a struggle against heaven and earth. Unless you have absolute power or the same Willpower offset the opponent's advantage, you will surely be defeated!
As a time traveler, Andrew understood the power of Willpower better than others, which is why he was so shocked at this moment.
"I lack the Willpower, so theoretically I shouldn't be able to extract this point of light from the Azurnite slab. Yet, I still succeeded! Doesn't this mean that, given enough time, I too can refine the Sovereign’s Might from the Inkstone?"
The Golden Dragon's soul stared at the point of light, its enormous dragon eyes unusually cold. However, it quickly raised its head and turned its gaze to the Soul Stone floating above.
