" Yue'er, Ling'er's aptitude is enough to independently reach the Saint-level, not to mention Herbert. However, he currently only has talents in the three elements of lightning, fire, and light. If he wants to awaken the Water Element, he will probably have to go to the Four Divine Beasts Clan for baptism..."
Andrew thought about his family's situation again and finally felt relieved.
Two days later, Herbert packed his bags and excitedly embarked on his journey of training. Looking at him, Andrew seemed to see himself twenty years ago.
" Fukelaisi," Andrew whispered to a soldier beside him.
"My lord!" A lean middle-aged man bowed beside him. This man was the only Saint Warrior that Andrew had recruited. Over the years, with Andrew's help, he had also advanced from the Saint-level Early-Stage to the Saint Realm Mid-Stage.
Saint-level powerhouses rarely rely on others; with Fukelaisi's strength, he could have easily established a ducal family. However, after witnessing the decisive battle between Andrew and Baird, Fukelaisi was completely won over by Andrew and became his admirer, which is why he joined the Lance Duchy.
"This is Herbert's first time away from home, and I'm still a little worried. You go with him. But unless he's in mortal danger, don't show yourself."
Fukelaisi replied respectfully, "Yes." At the same time, he was also wondering just how strong Andrew had become.
"A few years ago, I could still sense the fluctuations of an adult's aura, but now I can't sense it at all..." Over the years, Fukelaisi's strength has increased considerably, but he knows that the gap between him and Andrew has widened.
With Fukelaisi protecting him, Andrew felt much more at ease. In terms of strength, both Dragon were stronger than him, but when it came to protecting people, Fukelaisi, being human, was more trustworthy.
After settling matters at home, Andrew had a villa built on Azure Dragon Mountain. Azure Dragon Mountain was more than forty miles from the Duke of Lance's mansion, and its name was also given by Andrew. The villa was scenic, with a sizable lake nearby, which was exactly the kind of scenery Andrew loved most.
"To grasp the Mysteries, simply engaging in seclusion is no longer very effective; the understanding of one's state of mind is far more important."
When they had nothing to do, Andrew and Han Yue would stay in the villa, enjoying their carefree days as if they had forgotten everything in the world. Sometimes, Janice and Ling'er would come over, but Howard didn't have time for them. Andrew didn't care about the affairs of the Lance Duchy, so Andrew, as their father, had to keep busy.
In the center of the lake, a pavilion stands out abruptly. Andrew sits alone in the pavilion, watching the misty rain drift across the lake, his thoughts wandering far away.
"This rain is just like the rain in my past life, endless and continuous..."
Andrew took a sip of tea, his eyes glazed over. He stretched out his hand, and raindrops fell into his palm, cool to the touch.
"Water is the softest thing, and the highest good is like water, yet it contains immense power."
Since becoming a god of Water Element, Andrew has had an extremely clear perception of the water element in the world.
"There are six Mysteries of the Water Element element, and the one I've comprehended is the Mid-level Profound Mystery Mist Illusion. The Mist Illusion leans towards Soul Attack, which is quite rare."
After a considerable period of meditation, Andrew's comprehension of Fire Element and Lightning Element has progressed rapidly. He has already grasped about 80% of the profound Shattering of Fire Element Mysteries Lightning Element, namely "Explosion" and " Mysteries." At this rate, it won't be long before he can become a god in these two elements.
This speed would be considered remarkable by others, but Andrew was not satisfied.
"Comprehending Mysteries is easy, but Fusion Profound Mysteries is difficult. With my soul, comparable to Midgod, I've only managed to fuse thirty percent of the two Mysteries. This shows just how difficult it is to fuse the Mysteries of different elements."
Andrew is ambitious; he plans to fuse these two Mysteries to become a god in one fell swoop. The fusion of two different elemental Mysteries is as powerful as the fusion of three single-elemental Mysteries. Combined with the Fused Divine Power, Andrew should then possess the strength of Four-Star Fiend, or even stronger...
However, during this time, Andrew discovered a problem that puzzled him greatly.
Before becoming a god, Andrew was able to fuse lightning and fire Battle-qi, combining the two Mysteries. However, after becoming a god of Water Element, Andrew discovered that he could not fuse Water Element Divine Power with the Fusion Battle-qi. This gave him a bad feeling. After all, his Three-element Soul Mutation was man-made, and there was no precedent for it in countless planes. It was very likely that the Water Element that was born later would really be unable to fuse with lightning and fire.
"It's also possible that thunder and fire didn't become gods. After all, there's a qualitative difference between Divine Power and Battle-qi..." Andrew was completely baffled and could only console himself with this thought.
In addition, Andrew discovered some secrets within the soul.
The Innate Divine Ability of Divine Beast are bestowed by the Laws of the World. To unleash them, two conditions must be met: the Light of Innate Divine Ability and the strength of the soul. A true Divine Beast, upon reaching maturity, becomes Deity-level, and its soul also reaches the Deity-level. After becoming a god, it can then unleash its Innate Divine Ability.
To unleash one's innate Innate Divine Ability, one must combine one's soul with the Light of Innate Divine Ability.
The Light of Innate Divine Ability is a halo within the soul. The power of this halo is very peculiar; it is neither the power of the soul nor Divine Power, but rather a manifestation of the Laws of the World. In the original book, Linley's Light of Innate Divine Ability is cyan, as is that of the Azure Dragon Clan. It contains a very small Laws of Time, which is why the Azure Dragon's " Dragon Roar " can affect time.
Andrew's Light of Innate Divine Ability was golden, and he didn't know what else was in it. However, as a mutated Divine Beast, his Light of Innate Divine Ability was very strong. Combined with his soul power, his Innate Divine Ability were naturally also strong.
Moreover, after becoming a god, Andrew's soul power grew rapidly. When he first became a god, his ten-meter-long Golden Dragon soul on the Elemental Sea split into two three-meter-long smaller golden Golden Dragon. After a period of recuperation, the two smaller Golden Dragon grew back to about eight meters.
With powerful soul energy, the speed at which Laws are deduced is also fast.
Under Andrew's full-fledged deduction, the " Shattering " of the Lightning Element and the "explosion" of the Fire Element progressed rapidly. At the same time, he also relied on the principle of Explosive Steps to accelerate the fusion of the two Mysteries. Fusion Profound Mysteries is a very tedious and mentally taxing process, especially the fusion of two Mysteries of different Laws. From time to time, Andrew would hit a bottleneck. At this time, he would go to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, to the volcanic group from back then.
" Fire Element the strongest explosive power, and in this respect, its attack power ranks very high among all the Laws. Lightning Element, on the other hand, has strong destructive power, comparable to the Edicts of Destruction. The combination of these two possesses both explosive power and destructive power, and its power is beyond imagination..."
The more Andrew merged with these two profound mysteries, the more anticipation filled his heart. He felt very fortunate to have touched upon the point of convergence between these two High-level Profound Mystery so early on, and to have begun merging them within the Saint-level.
" The Lightning Element and Fire Element are already renowned for their combat power. I've also fused the most powerful and profound Mysteries of both elements to create my own ultimate technique. Once the fusion is complete and both elements become gods, the attack power of this technique will definitely exceed ten times that of Midgod. Combined with the Fused Divine Power, I might even be able to kill Highgod!"
Andrew was very confident about this, and that didn't even include his own Innate Divine Ability!
Just as Andrew was engrossed in the profound mysteries of Fusion Profound Mysteries, thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Thirty years later, Howard and Janice achieved Sainthood amidst everyone's astonishment. Han Yue and Ling'er also lived up to expectations, both becoming ninth-level Archmages. Han Yue was just a step away from breaking through to Sainthood. Of course, Herbert made the most progress. Inheriting Andrew's Azure Dragon bloodline, he possessed astonishing talent and was already a Sainthood warrior ten years ago. Once transformed, his combat power was comparable to the limit of Sainthood.
With his noble birth and formidable strength, Herbert became another legend on the Yulan Continent after Andrew, even surpassing Andrew in fame. Thirty years of seclusion had caused many to forget Andrew's renown. However, many still remembered Andrew, the young man who, upon reaching the Saint-level, had slain Baird with a single strike...
"Boom..."
Dozens of miles from the Duke of Lance's mansion, on Azure Dragon Azure Dragon Mountain, thick black clouds obscured the mountaintop. Deep within the clouds, streaks of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the surroundings.
Beneath the lightning, a figure dressed in black floated. The person was not tall, but beneath the dark, cloud-covering sky, his imposing presence was in no way diminished. Soon, a bolt of Lightning struck him, but the figure did not react at all, while the Lightning vanished quickly.
"Call out..."
After the Lightning, the figure had vanished, as if he had never been there at all.
" The Lightning Element's Mysteries ' Shattering,' the Fire Element's Mysteries 'exploded,' after thirty years, they have finally merged today!"
This man was Andrew. For thirty years, he had secluded himself here, single-mindedly Fusion Profound Mysteries. Under his powerful soul, today, the fusion of these two Mysteries had finally reached the Spirit Realm point.
Just now, the barrier blocking Andrew's path suddenly Shattering...
"It's done!"
Andrew looked up at the sky, where a familiar fluctuation of Laws emanated—a harbinger of godhood. The vast, ancient fluctuation of Laws easily dispelled the dark clouds, and at the same time, endless Lightning Element and Fire Element elements gathered frantically between heaven and earth.
What happened next was already familiar to Andrew.
The Laws of the World condensed into two Divine Spark, one red and one purple. Andrew controlled these Divine Spark and brought them before himself, painfully dividing his soul into three parts, two of which were then absorbed into the two Divine Spark. Soon, the Laws of the World helped Andrew condense two bodies. This signified that his Lightning Element and Fire Element had officially become gods!
