Episode 21: The Peak Chapter 6: The Fostering

On the eighteenth level of the Graveyard of Gods, silence returned and Linley opened his eyes.

Seeing that Linley had finished refining the main Godhead, Beirut, Greenfire, and Bebe couldn’t help the smiles that filled their faces.

“Linley, how does it feel?” Beirut asked evenly with some apprehension.

For so many years, Beirut had never been this nervous! However at this moment …… he was truly nervous! Was the Linley who had refined the two main divine compartments as powerful as he had imagined? This would be related to whether he, Beirut, would be able to walk out of the Yulan Plane Plane with honor and go to the Supreme Plane, the God Plane, to make his way!

“It feels ……” a smile appeared on Linley’s face, “very good!”

“Very good?” Beirut, Greenfire, and Bebe all stared at Linley with puzzled faces. Just what level of strength did Linley’s so-called very good represent?

“Boss, are you as strong as a Juggernaut right now?” Bebe inquired abruptly.

“This?” Linley hesitated slightly.

“Grandpa Beirut, do you know the difference between the strengths of this lower Lord God, middle Lord God, and upper Lord God?” Linley inquired, without clarifying the difference between the three, Linley wouldn’t be able to accurately position himself today.

Beirut even explained, “Linley, there’s a huge gap between these different levels of Lord God! To give you an example, a lower Lord God of great perfection is slightly weaker than a middle Lord God who has fused five arcane mysteries. But it was also close! For the same example, a middle Lord God of Great Perfection was close to the strength of a Lord God who had fused five arcane mysteries, but of course, it was still slightly less than a hair’s breadth. Weapons and innate divine abilities are not taken into account.”

“I see!” Linley nodded slightly.

Great Perfection Inferior Lord God. Compared to a Mediate Lord God who had fused five arcane auras.

In terms of law arcana. This Inferior Lord God. It was more than ten times stronger than a Median Lord God. But even so. He is still no match for a Medium Lord God. That means. There is a difference of more than ten times in terms of will power!

In terms of will power. The Great Perfection Lord God. Not only does it possess the power of a Lord God. It also contains the power of will given by heaven and earth. The earth and sky gave the will power. But even so,…… will power. Still more than ten times different than the middle main god!

Then ……

Normal inferior Lord God. Compared to a Median Lord God. The difference in the amplitude of the will power in the main god’s lattice is nearly a hundred times.

“Speculation based on common sense.” Beirut smiled faintly, “Linley, you originally possessed the Will Might of the Quatermass Soul Mutation, and now you’ve refined two Lord God Frames. The will prowess of the Soul Grounds has been raised by another level. You should, by now, be about the same as a Median Lord God’s Will Might.”

Qing Huo, on the other hand, looked at Linley in confusion, “Linley, after your soul mutated and fused. Has there been a superimposed fusion of will prowess between the two Lord God Frames?”

“No.” Linley shook his head, “A Lord God’s will prowess is almost always in the Lord God Grasp. How could it possibly fuse?”

“Grandpa Beirut’s guess is correct.” Linley nodded, “After refining this water main godgem, my five soul will prowess has once again increased! According to speculation, purely in terms of will prowess, I should be comparable to a Mediate Lord God.”

“You still have the Fusion Lord God power.” Beirut smiled.

“Yes, two systems of Lord God power can indeed be fused.”

Linley felt the majestic gray-green Lord God power within his body. Nodding, he said. “This fused Lord God power, the power, should be ten times that of an ordinary Lord God power land! Right now, in terms of pure will power and strength, I should be at the front of the median Lord God!”

If it was anyone else, even if there were two Lord God splits. At most, the two Lord God doppelgangers would be allowed to incorporate an extra portion of will power into their respective souls.

But Linley, not only did he integrate one more portion of Will Might. Most importantly, the power of the Sovereign God could still be fused!

“You also have a supreme divine artifact!” Qing Huo smiled, “With a supreme divine artifact, you should be able to compare to an ordinary six sovereigns!”

Linley understood which six lords Qing Huo was talking about; of these eleven lords, there were only five who possessed supreme divine artifacts.

The eighteenth level of the Graveyard of Gods.

“Whew.

Breeze blowing, mood extremely good Beirut a flick of the sleeve. At that moment, a large amount of green stones moved. The altar that enshrined the body of the green dragon sank once again, while a table and four stone benches sprang up on the empty space of the lapis lazuli slab.

“Everyone sit down. Take your time to talk.” Beirut smiled as he led the way and sat down, while taking out food and good wine from his spatial ring, “It’s been more than 10,000 years, but I’ve never been this happy today. Haha, how could I have never imagined …… that the one who made me get out of my predicament was that Finlay Kingdom’s teenager back then, and in the blink of an eye, that magic academy’s teenager became an existence comparable to that of a juggernaut.”

“I’m awesome, right.” Bebe proudly said, “At first, I recognized the boss at a glance and went with him.”

“Recognized with a single glance?” Linley teased and laughed, “Back then, who was the one who had the craving for roasted hare meat and roasted chicken ah ……”

Bebe was stunned.

“Haha ……” Qing Huo, who was drinking beside him, couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Bebe’s expression.

“Come on, Linley, let’s drink a toast. In the future, whether or not Qing Huo and I can leave the Yulan Plane without fear will depend on you.” Beirut laughed.

Linley raised his glass as well, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Beirut, but all of this is what I should do, these two Master God Frames were given to me by you. The one who got you out of your predicament is still yourself. I’m grateful to you instead.” Linley said sincerely.

Beirut laughed and shook his head, “Haha, you’re too modest, I was going to pick the main god candidate!”

“And a strong person whose quadruple soul mutation succeeded, where can I find such a candidate? This has nothing to do with me, it’s up to you. At first, Qing Huo and I, we have been paying attention to you, after the soul stone that was hanging on to a sliver of your life was depleted, we originally thought that you couldn’t resist it, who would have thought that, the peaks turned around, and you survived from the border of life and death.” Beirut marveled.

Linley stopped defending himself and just happily talked and laughed with the crowd.

“However, my comprehension of the Law Arcana is too low.” Linley frowned.

In terms of Law Arcana alone, Linley had only fused four arcana. Whereas the other Lord Gods all fused a minimum of five.

“Don’t be anxious.” Beside him, Earthly Greenfire smiled faintly, “Linley, with your qualifications of fusing four arcane axioms in just a few thousand years. Combined with that endless power of faith, I see that you’ll reach an extremely high level in a short period of time. But Linley, I have to warn you. It would be best for you, to develop towards material attacks.”

“What do you mean?” Linley was somewhat surprised.

“Your body, it’s very strong.” Qing Huo sighed, “I’ve also heard Beirut say that your body is comparable to a main divine artifact nowadays! To know. There are only a handful of Lord Gods that have reached this level.”

“Oh?” Linley was somewhat surprised, “Lord Gods, making their bodies stronger. Is it difficult? As far as I know, the old ancestor of my Green Dragon clan, Green Dragon, had a body as strong as a Lord God artifact.”

Qing Huo snorted, “Qing Long? Do you think that an average Lord God can be compared to a freak like the Four Divine Beasts?”

Linley cried and laughed.

Four divine beasts, freaks?

But that was a correct statement, not only were the Four Divine Beasts too strong for a single individual talent, but they were even capable of combining four natural aptitudes, which would be too heaven-defying. “Linley, look at me. Became a Lord God as well. Yet. I can only use the power of the Lord God to condense into a body as well. It can’t be strengthened anymore.” Qing Huo shook his head, “A true body itself that is as powerful as a Lord God artifact. Those were born exceptional. Such as the Four Divine Beasts, such as Beirut, such as that Destruction Lord, such as that Death Lord. All of them are like that.”

The ground beside Bebe exclaimed, “The Destruction Lord and Death Lord, they aren’t human either?”

“Not humans.” Beirut nodded, “The Death Juggernaut, I heard that it was the first life at the birth of the Underworld. At the beginning of the birth of the underworld, the underworld continent has no life, in the depths of the vast and boundless underworld sea the first life was born —- a plant! It is this this Death Sovereign Honored One.”

“Plant, what plant?” Linley was somewhat curious.

“Not quite sure.” Beirut shook his head, “No one could force the Deathmaster to reveal his true self, right? It’s said that the Underworld Fruit Tree that lives in the Underworld Mountain. In the beginning, it was the Death Sovereign’s companion fruit tree.”

“Oh?” Linley drifted off.

Suddenly, Linley remembered the pattern of the robe worn by the Death Sovereign. Tree branches and vines as well as silver snakes prancing around. “The Underworld Fruit Tree and the Death Sovereign, both Lord Gods. The principal gods are also both plants! And those two large gold and silver snakes. Should be living on top of those two plants respectively.”

“The power of a Main God has a limited role in strengthening the body.” Qing Huo smiled faintly. “This Fusion Master God power of mine can’t strengthen the body either.” Linley’s brows furrowed.

The fusion divine power that was formed when the four superior divine powers were fused. It was able to strengthen the body drastically, and it was also able to strengthen divine artifacts and divine weapons! But now, this Fusion Lord God Power was instead less effective than, say, that Fusion Four System divine Power.

It must be known that fusing the four systems of divine power was over ten times more powerful than an ordinary Lord God’s power.

And Linley’s current Fused Lord God Power was only ten times as powerful as an ordinary Lord God Power. But the previous fusion of four divine systems ratio hadn’t increased! Although the difference in attack power was comparable, in terms of strange effects, it wasn’t as good as fused divine power.

“It seems that balance is most important. I’m currently, unbalanced in terms of energy in the four divisions of the earth.” Linley somewhat guessed where the reason was.

“Linley, you’re physically strong and comparable to Beirut and the Four Divine Beasts, then you need to utilize it.” Qing Huo solemnly said, “You develop towards material attacks, even now, you’ll be able to compare yourself to an average lord.”

“But …… I’m not a match for a Light Lord yet.” Linley shook his head.

The Light Sovereign, too, had a supreme divine artifact!

“None of us are in a hurry, take your time.” Beirut smiled faintly, “You’re a Soul Mutation, and if you succeed in fusing different four Laws Arcana, that power, it exceeds the tenfold power of fusing the same Laws six Arcana. At that time, you will absolutely surpass Light Lord Augusta.”

In terms of Law Arcana, Linley’s potential, compared to the average Lord God, was much higher. Up.

Inside the Dragonblood Castle.

Linley and Delia lay snuggled in bed, this was already the third day since Linley had become a Lord God, and yesterday, after Linley returned to the Dragonblood Castle and told Delia all the news, Delia was also stunned. How could she not have expected …… Linley to reach such a level.

Right now alone, by relying on a supreme divine artifact, Linley was comparable to a master.

If the arcane aspect improved up, surpassing a Light Lord was a certainty.

“Linley, you’ve become a Lord God, I feel like I’m dreaming.” Delia said softly as she lay on Linley’s chest, her gaze looking out through the window.

“Lord God …… It’s just a pity that this time, I wasn’t able to resurrect Grandpa Delin.” Linley sighed darkly.

Delia turned her head, looking up at Linley with an encouraging smile, “Grandpa Delin would be happy for you if he were alive. And …… if you live and die, Grandpa Delin has also lived a long time, you don’t have to be too sad.”

“Forget it, don’t mention this.” Linley shook his head.

“It’s fine now.” Delia smiled, “There’s no bloodshed, and you won’t even be leaving the Yulan Plane. Let’s just live our lives quietly, watching the sun rise and set for …… a thousand years, ten thousand years!”

Hearing this, Linley couldn’t help but gently embrace Delia in his arms.

Linley knew that life in the future would indeed be very peaceful.

Of course, in the calmness Linley would need to cultivate, in the passage of time, so that his strength would continue to increase until, he could catch up with the Light Lord!

“The Light Lord, he must be defeated, or even killed!” Linley said silently in his heart.

After all, his own mother’s freedom was still controlled by the Light Lord.
