Now that the first volume is finished, let's summarize.
The book is titled "The Rhine Clan of Coiling Dragon," and as I mentioned in the synopsis, the protagonist will become stronger and establish a family. In the first volume, the protagonist has already reached the Deity-level, and then he follows his family to the Netherworld. The theme of the second volume is the protagonist assisting the patriarch in the Netherworld to make the family prosper.
The reason I don't plan to have the protagonist take over as clan leader is twofold: firstly, because in the first volume, I defined the protagonist's personality as someone who is neither obsessed with power nor fond of political intrigue; secondly, in the worldview of Coiling Dragon World, strength is the only true measure of success, so assisting the clan's prosperity is merely a means for the protagonist to strengthen himself, and the protagonist will regard the Rhine Clan as his backing.
Then came some questions raised by the readers:
1. The number of Profound Mysteries seven elements. I've read the feedback on the book and reviewed the relevant plot points. It was something I didn't consider.
The number of elements in the Seven Elements Profound Mysteries should be 6 or 9, not 7 or 8.
The specific location is in the original novel, in the chapter "The Indigo Prefecture," which is the chapter where Bebe breaks through to godhood on the Yulan Continent: In this process of becoming a god, the Wind Element elemental law has nine profound Profound Mysteries, so one must comprehend three to become Midgod. Alternatively, comprehending two and fusing them can also lead to becoming Midgod. However, earth, fire, water, and darkness each have six profound Profound Mysteries. One only needs to comprehend two to become Midgod.
Based on this speculation, the Wind Element should not be an isolated element; there is a certain pattern to it, and it is definitely not an isolated case. Moreover, it specifically mentions earth, fire, water, and darkness as six elements.
Therefore, the number of Profound Mysteries in each of the wind, thunder, and light elements should be nine.
There are six profound Profound Mysteries; mastering two of each system makes one Midgod. There are nine Profound Mysteries; mastering three of one system or fusing two of them makes one Midgod.
As for why it wasn't explicitly stated, I suspect it's because Tomato hadn't yet come up with any other Profound Mysteries names at the time, so he avoided them.
Some readers have mentioned the chapter "Profound Mysteries Levels" in the original work, which is Beirut's account. I checked, and it only mentions that there are nine types of Wind Element, without mentioning the Profound Mysteries numbers of light and lightning.

2. Regarding the issue of Refine Divine Spark, readers have offered many opinions, and I've also included a post about it below.
You all successfully convinced me. Although none of your theories have any basis in the original text, one of the readers' viewpoints makes a lot of sense.
"Only the Laws of Heaven and Earth have the ability to rewrite the contents of Divine Spark. The contents of the laws that Divine Spark possesses at the moment it is formed are already determined, and the laws that are comprehended afterward are only preserved in the soul."
This explanation is much more reasonable than my previous assumptions. It avoids the possibility of combining the Profound Mysteries of Lowgod Spark and Mid Godhead to break through to Highgod, and it also shows that there are different levels of strength among the Deity-level Refine Divine Spark.
I will revise this part later.

3. When the protagonist tested his talents, he discovered Four Edicts talents, which deterred many readers at the time. I brought this up in later chapters: Necromancy, Life Magic, and Fate Law have been passed down for so long on the Yulan Continent, surely there must be a way to test them.
In the original story, Cesar was able to see the two sisters' necromancy, which must have involved some kind of testing method.

4. The plot involving the protagonist's battle with the War God of War.
First of all, I don't think the War God is the weakest of the Lowgod. According to point 2 above, the biggest weakness of Lowgod Refine Divine Spark is their Divine Power and soul strength.
The War God of Lowgod, while the protagonist broke through to Deity-level in less than ten years. Moreover, as I wrote in that chapter, neither of them used Divine Power or opened their domains, and in the end, they both suffered heavy losses, with the God of War God's soul also being severely damaged.
Therefore, I believe there's nothing wrong with this part of the plot, so I won't change it.
Finally, this book was recently released, thank you all for your support.
As this is a fan fiction, I don't expect any rewards. I'd be content with just a few recommendation votes to let me know that someone is reading this book.
