Becoming a God
Chapter 6: Becoming a God
"I can sense it. It seems that as long as I comprehend one more trace of rule content, it will be a qualitative change. Becoming a God is right before my eyes." Rog was also feeling extremely excited at the moment.
He still maintained that 'cold and gloomy' feeling. A bizarre, icy fluctuation existed in the sealed room space, and the Death Rule continued to evolve within his soul.
"It's here!" Suddenly feeling an inspiration, Rog clearly sensed as if he had crossed a certain boundary. This was the boundary between the Saint-level and the God Domain. At this moment, Rog's tightly closed eyes suddenly flew open, and he raised his head!
"Hum~~" A grand, soul-shaking force suddenly descended, completely covering Rog. The space around Rog even distorted, as if isolating Rog from other areas, and Rog's entire body actually directly levitated. He levitated out of his own control.
"What a terrifying might of the heavens and the earth." Rog sensed that grand, boundless, and ancient peculiar force. To be accurate, that should be an existence similar to laws and rules.
Before it, Rog felt that he was nothing more than an ant. "This should be the Laws of the World that judge whether one becomes a God." Although he had been prepared for a long time, truly experiencing this power firsthand still left Rog's heart incomparably shocked, but he quickly calmed down.
The terrifying Natural Laws descended, instantly alarming the peak Saint-level powerhouses and God-level powerhouses throughout the entire Glais Continent.
Within the Eilex Empire, founding emperor Eilex looked in the direction of the Kelen Province. "Is someone becoming a God here? Who is it?" Eilex's divine clone was still adventuring in the Infernal Realm, and the one staying in the imperial capital at this moment was his Saint Domain True Body. However, although the true body could not communicate with the Elemental Sea to draw upon divine power, his own profound comprehension of the laws was stronger than that of other Saint-level limits.
Meanwhile, the Polar Icefield in the north of the Glais Continent, the Starlight Forest in the south, and the Hank Desert in the west-in these three places, many people also sensed this special fluctuation of heaven and earth. "Someone is becoming a God? Who is it?" Numerous ascetics were startled in their hearts, and some immediately flew toward the position of the person becoming a God.
Regardless of what others felt, Rog had reached the most critical moment at this time. At this moment, Rog did not need to do anything at all. A special force directly entered his mind, enveloping his soul. At this moment... all the rule content of Rog's soul was completely seen through, and finally the Natural Laws judged that Rog's Death Rule had reached the standard of a Lowgod.
"Chirp chirp~~" Right above Rog's head, a force containing the aura of the Death Rule began to condense, and at the same time, magic power of the death attribute also crazily converged toward it. A large amount of elemental energy of heaven and earth frantically rushed into the spatial turbulence, poured into the courtyard's sealed room, and finally condensed into a single point.
"This is a Godspark!" Rog was extremely excited in his heart. Just a moment later-the surging elemental energy of heaven and earth dissipated, and a mysterious crystal emitting a gray light was suspended directly above Rog's head. It was precisely a Death Lower God Spark.
The moment this Godspark formed, it naturally established a connection with Rog's soul. Because this Godspark was formed based on Rog's soul aura, it was completely compatible with Rog. Refining someone else's Godspark, even if the refinement succeeded, could never compare to this kind of Godspark condensed by the Natural Laws based on one's own soul aura.
"A Godspark!" Looking up at this suspended Godspark emitting a gray light, a burst of emotion welled up from the bottom of Rog's heart. Ever since he came to Coiling Dragon, a world where strength was supreme, Rog had always harbored much anxiety in his heart, and all this anxiety was caused by insufficient strength. Now, he had finally taken the crucial step, and at this moment he was somewhat unable to suppress the joy in his heart.
"Finally, I've become a God." Joy surged across Rog's face, and right at this moment a message naturally came to his soul.
"These Natural Laws are asking me to choose whether the Godspark stays outside my body or inside my body." Naturally, without almost any hesitation, Rog directly controlled the Godspark to hover directly beside his own body.
This of course meant choosing to split the soul into two. After all, he had cultivation talent in two different attributes, and simply for the sake of having an extra divine clone and an extra life, Rog could not possibly place the Godspark inside his Saint Domain True Body. The Natural Laws had already accepted Rog's choice, and immediately, "Ah!" Rog couldn't help but let out an extremely painful, miserable scream. The violent pain caused all the muscles in Rog's body to twitch and spasm. Soul splitting-this kind of pain was tens of thousands of times more painful than physical torture.
At this moment, even Rog's mutated soul completely stopped thinking; he only instinctively emitted painful, miserable screams. Gradually... the sound of his painful screams diminished. At this moment, the half of the soul that Rog had split off flew toward the Godspark, and then this soul easily and directly merged into the Godspark, the soul and the Godspark fusing into an organic whole.
"Rumble rumble~~" The surrounding space vibrated. The soul within the Godspark actually wondrously sensed a peculiar place. That was a location situated at the very core of boundless space, a vast and boundless plane that could only be sensed upon reaching the realm of a God-the Elemental Sea!
"Roar~~" This was a misty space with no bright light whatsoever in the sky, only the gray light emitted by the Elemental Sea itself barely illuminating this plane. Boundless tidal waves of elements surged, rising and falling.
The surface layer of this Elemental Sea was composed of heaven and earth elements that had condensed into a substance resembling liquid. Through the Godspark, Rog's soul could sense a certain depth beneath the surface of the Elemental Sea. The surface of the Elemental Sea was elemental liquid, and below... was endless divine power!
Abruptly, a considerable amount of divine power vanished out of thin air, following the special channel formed by the Natural Laws to descend directly into the sealed room where Rog was located. Then, with the Death Lower Godspark that had fused with Rog's soul as the center, a divine body began to condense.
"Chirp chirp~~" Very clearly, starting from the head downwards, a naked body almost identical to Rog's true body formed. Rog's heart stirred, and he immediately controlled the divine power within his body to condense into a set of gray robes on his skin. And right at this moment, the special force representing the Natural Laws vanished out of thin air, and the surroundings of the courtyard returned to peace once again.
"It's over." A happy smile appeared on Rog's face, and at the same time he directly controlled the divine clone to merge into his own true body. Even though he had long known about the connection between the two, this divine clone being able to directly and uniquely fuse with Rog's body still looked extremely bizarre. This was the marvelous utility of a divine clone: the divine clone and the Saint Domain True Body could transform into each other at will, and the Saint Domain True Body could even use the divine clone's divine power to a certain extent.
However, "borrowing" required the true body and the divine clone to be fused together. Much like that Eilex, at this moment the Saint Domain True Body had lost the method to extract divine power apart from the partial divine power left behind before his divine clone departed, so that divine power was reduced every time it was used. In order to deter other formidable Saint-level powerhouses, under normal circumstances he would never mobilize divine power.
There were only two methods to replenish divine power. One was "Divine Crystals", but such things basically could not exist in a material plane, and the other was borrowing it after fusing with a divine clone of the same origin as the true body. Unfortunately, the price of returning from a Higher Plane to a material plane was far too high, and Eilex's divine clone estimated that he would never have a chance in this lifetime to return to his hometown plane.
"I hope this new God-level powerhouse has no thoughts of dominating the continent." Eilex's divine clone in the Infernal Realm was already a Midgod, but his true body after all possessed only Saint-level strength. Once his divine power was exhausted, his true body would barely be stronger than other Saint-level limits, and he could not possibly be a match for that newly emerged God. Moreover, barring necessity, he was unwilling to make a move casually; once the divine power stored in his true body was completely depleted, he would no longer possess "God-level" strength. By then, even if his comprehension of the laws was at the God-level, he would no longer hold any overwhelming advantage compared to other Saint-level limits.
"Master, congratulations on becoming a God." The Earth Violent Bear Wald submitted even more heart and soul to this master at this moment. After all, being the magical beast pet of a God-level powerhouse was nothing shameful; on the contrary, it was his glory.
"Dimont, this time it seems I have seized the initiative. Obediently become my 'subordinate'." Gaining godhood through the Death Rule had taken Rog a full thirteen years, and he estimated that Dimont was not far from ' adulthood ' either. To prevent any nocturnal mishaps, after roughly familiarizing himself with the power of a God-level powerhouse, Rog brought Wald and flew directly toward the Lost Forest.
After becoming a God, Rog used his divine clone to fly, and that speed was completely beyond comparison with Saint-level powerhouses. Moreover, his soul underwent another transformation. Although he had just become a Lowgod and had experienced soul splitting, at this moment his soul level could already rival that of a normal Midgod, and he was only somewhat lacking in the sheer quantity of the soul.
Lost Forest.
At this moment, Dimont was in high spirits, because with the blessing of his cultivation comprehension over the past ten years, his strength had once again made no small progress. Just a short while ago, it had successfully defeated the Saint-level Black Dragon Livicost, who had also comprehended the power of laws, becoming the new king of the northern region of the Lost Forest.
"After a while longer, I will go challenge other formidable fellows in the Lost Forest. Soon I can become the new king of the Lost Forest!" Dimont's dark gold pupils burned with its ambition and aspirations, yet it did not know what was waiting for it.
