In the snowstorm, Lin Yue looked at the huge, blurry iceberg in the distance. He stepped forward step by step. Every step he took had the power of a volcanic eruption. With one step, he instantly crossed dozens of meters and hundreds of meters. As Lin Yue gradually quickened his pace, the power became stronger and stronger. The distance he crossed with each step became farther and farther. His body moved faster and faster. In the end, it was as if he had teleported. He was still here a second ago. In the next second, he was already miles away.
The outline of the huge iceberg became clearer and clearer. As it approached, the majestic figure and aura of the iceberg gradually appeared in front of Lin Yue. Lin Yue's calm eyes gradually revealed his fighting spirit. This fighting spirit continued to gather and strengthen, and along with it, Lin Yue's aura continued to increase.
A green armor appeared and a drop of blood flew out from Lin Yue's hand. The Divine level armor that had been given by the High Priest and had protected Lin Yue for many years was removed from its owner by Lin Yue. Then, Lin Yue put it away in his storage ring.
Regardless of whether he became a god or not, Lin Yue decided to return the armor to the High Priest. He no longer needed the armor. Furthermore, Lin Yue had also decided to choose a high-intensity battle. That way, he would be able to break through the last 1% faster and faster.
"Rutherford, come out and fight?" Lin Yue's voice suddenly rang out from under the ice mountain tens of thousands of meters high. Driven by the level-7 support-type lightning spell, Thunder, it was instantly transmitted to the top of the iceberg.
"If you want to challenge Lord Rutherford, you have to get past me first.”Almost as soon as Lin Yue finished speaking, a figure rushed down from the iceberg.
It was a cold-looking man with short green hair, a thin body, but very well-developed muscles. He was wearing a pair of black metal boxing gloves.
"You're not my match, get lost.”Lin Yue only glanced at the other party and lost interest.
"Arrogant!" With a sway of his body, the callous man approached Lin Yue. He raised his right leg and slashed at Lin Yue like a saber. On the surface of his thigh, there was a layer of blade-like air blade, which was very clear.
"Boom!" A long sword that was as blue and clear as crystal and had bone marks on it suddenly appeared. It brought with it an aura and power that did not match the quality of the sword itself and slashed at the cold-looking man's right leg.
"Kacha!" The ear-piercing sound of bones cracking could be heard. The cold-looking man flew out at a faster speed than when he came. He plunged into the icy ground and no longer moved.
Lin Yue did not even look at the man after he dealt with the first bird. As for whether he was dead or alive, Lin Yue was not worried. When he appeared just now, Lin Yue had restrained some of his strength, so the cold man was only seriously injured at most.
"Whoosh!" A light shadow flew down from the ice mountain. It was a man with long black and white hair, a handsome face, and a cold gaze. Behind him was a transparent sword.
"You want to challenge Lord Rutherford?”The man asked.
"Are you here to test me too?" Lin Yue was a little impatient.
The man shook his head.”With that, he drew the transparent sword behind him.
"Olivier?" Lin Yue was surprised.
"Bang!" The ice exploded, and a figure charged out from within. It was the callous man who had been heavily injured by Lin Yue. However, when he reappeared, he didn't attack. Instead, he looked at Olivier with a complicated gaze.
Ten years ago, Olivier, who had just arrived in the Arctic Icecap to train bitterly, had only been a Saint at the lowest level of the Arctic Icecap. He hadn't even been able to defeat him, but in just ten short years, he had far surpassed him. The current Olivier, even Lord Bowditch, who was second only to Lord Rutherford, couldn't do anything to him. His strength was on par with Bowditch's. With such talent and growth speed, even he could only marvel at it, but not be jealous.
"Not bad." Olivier said proudly.
"Take my sword and I'll spare your life.”Lin Yue laughed, but his eyes were filled with killing intent that caused Olivier's heart to tremble.
"We'll know after we fight." Olivier suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. Black and white light lit up, and the transparent longsword in his hand stabbed towards Lin Yue with two types of nomological auras. Not only was it extremely fast, but it also had a powerful light effect. Its power could not be underestimated.
"It's useless." Lin Yue shook his head.
"Boom!" The starlight was like a pillar, shining with a red light. It was like a warning that someone was going to take his life. At the same time, a vast, boundless, and blazing aura exploded out. Before Olivier's sword could reach Lin Yue, it had already struck Olivier.
"No!" Olivier let out a furious roar, and his body began to glow with black and white light. His speed instantly doubled, and he quickly retreated, hoping to dodge this sword that he couldn't block.
"Rip!" A thin, translucent membrane crack appeared. Through the membrane, one could see countless spatial cracks and colorful spatial turbulence outside.
Suddenly, Olivier's body was cut into two halves from head to toe. At the same time, a layer of starlight covered in a layer of flame appeared on one of Olivier's body sections, burning and subliming towards the other section. In just a few moments, Olivier, along with his body and soul, completely vanished. His transparent longsword had also broken into two pieces and scattered on the icy ground like trash.
In terms of the Laws, Lin Yue's mastery of the profound mysteries of the Laws was already close to completion, and in terms of strength, with the fifty times boost, he was already on par with Deities. Just now, when Lin Yue had used the Laws together with his attack, he had been able to tear through space. Even though Olivier's soul had mutated and had fused a portion of the profound mysteries of the Laws of Light and Darkness, he was still far inferior to Lin Yue, who had used his battle-qi. From the moment Lin Yue had used his battle-qi, Olivier's fate had been sealed.
The reason why Lin Yue chose to kill Olivier was not to save face for his father, the Heavenly Sword Saint, but because the plot was different from the original.
In the original novel, Olivier, Desri, and Linley were fighting against the Deity-level expert Beaumont on the Great Botha Levee. In the end, while Linley and Olivier were fighting against Beaumont, Olivier accidentally slashed apart the Great Botha Levee with his sword, releasing countless Deities from the Gebados Planar Prison. Among them were quite a few Demigods and Gods, and even a few Highgods. This included Bluefire, who had fused five profound mysteries and had almost reached the Paragon level.
After that battle, the skies of the Yulan continent changed.
Lin Yue was confident that after becoming a Demigod, he would become an invincible existence amongst Demigods, but he would be unable to resist against a God or even a Highgod. If the original novel were to develop as it had been, allowing these Deities, who had been imprisoned in Gebados Prison for countless years, to escape would be a disaster for the Yulan continent, and a disaster for Lin Yue as well.
The Yulan continent still had some of Lin Yue's relatives and friends. After Lin Yue became a Deity, he might be able to escape this calamity by going to the Higher Planes, but what about his relatives and friends? In addition, Lin Yue planned to head to other planes after becoming a God. Otherwise, if he relied on his power as a Demigod to run to the Divine Plane or the Higher Planes, he would only be able to protect himself. It would be impossible for him to grow steadily.
Thus, Olivier had to die. Although this was a little arbitrary, Lin Yue could only do this in the situation where he would rather kill the wrong person than let go. This could reduce the inertia of the plot.
As for killing Olivier, Lin Yue didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. He was a stranger whom he had met for the first time and had only read about in the original novel. He had only heard about it after his rebirth. So what if he had killed him? Not only had he killed him, but his soul had also been torn apart by Lin Yue's powerful Combat Aura. He did not even have to be reincarnated into the Underworld. Even if Lin Yue didn't kill Olivier's soul, Olivier's soul would still be absorbed by Lin Yue's cheat, becoming nourishment for Lin Yue's soul.
"You killed Olivier? Don't you know that you can't kill people under the iceberg where Lord Rutherford is?”The cold man was stunned for a moment before his expression changed and he shouted angrily.
"Do you want to die too?" Lin Yue looked coldly at the cold man.
"No, no." The cold man's body trembled and he suddenly woke up.
"Rutherford, since you won't come down, I'll have to find you myself. However, I can't guarantee your life.”Lin Yue's voice rang out once again. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Rumble! The tens of thousands of meters tall iceberg rumbled, and countless snow and ice fell down from the sky.
Following the commotion, figures flew out from the depths of the ice mountain. Some of them even flew over from afar. These were all Sanctuary-realm experts who were cultivating in the Arctic Icecap.
"Rutherford, you do have some strength.”Lin Yue's voice rang out in the middle of the battle.
In the sky covered in ice and snow, Lin Yue was fighting with a middle-aged man with a crystal blue sword that had bone marks on it. This middle-aged man was the number one Sanctuary Contender of the Arctic Icefield, Rutherford.
Lin Yue had extracted the spine of a Saint-level magical beast from the depths of the South Sea. He had also found a few precious minerals from the depths of the South Sea. He had activated the volcano at the bottom of the sea and made use of the scorching energy of the volcano to forge this blue longsword. Not only was it sturdy, but it was also extremely flexible. It was also relatively light, weighing only about 500 pounds. This sword was also named "Deep Blue" by Lin Yue.
Lin Yue didn't use his battle-qi. Right now, he was only relying on the strength of his body and his comprehension of the profound mysteries of the Laws.
Rutherford wasn't one of the five Prime Saints, after all. Not only had he reached a pinnacle in the use of ice energy, but he had also reached a level where Lin Yue felt powerless in his defense.
First of all, Lin Yue guessed that the ice energy should belong to the Occult of Ice. However, Rutherford's understanding and application of this aspect was much stronger than the Saint-level magical beast Bill Jeevos that Lin Yue had encountered before. He had already reached a realm of the outside to the inside.
The cold energy kept invading Lin Yue's body and destroying his internal organs. If this continued, Lin Yue would be in a very dangerous situation. After all, he no longer had the protection of armor, nor did he use combat qi, and his body was only equivalent to a level-8 or level-9 warrior.
"Puchi!" Lin Yue spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood carried a strong chill and some ice. Lin Yue's face turned green.
"Buzz!" The Deep Blue Sword buzzed, and its speed suddenly increased. It was like a flash flood or a volcanic eruption as it quickly slashed at Rutherford.
This time, Rutherford didn't manage to dodge and took the brunt of the attack. The power of Lin Yue's attack, which contained the profound mysteries of the Laws of Fire, couldn't be underestimated. Furthermore, Lin Yue was using the Laws of Fire that were the opposite of the Ice Statue. It was a high-level profound mystery of the Laws of Fire, the Profound Mystery of Explosion. This caused Rutherford to be sent flying, his blood splattering through the air.
Whether it was Saints or Deities, when using profound mysteries to attack, not only did they expend their own energy, but they also expended the user's mental energy and spiritual energy. This was somewhat similar to how magi used magic.
It was the same for Rutherford. Moreover, he didn't just use a single profound mystery. Other than the ice energy that contained the profound mystery of ice, Rutherford would occasionally merge himself into the ice and snow, and then suddenly appear in another place, as if he was teleporting. He would dodge Lin Yue's attacks and then attack Lin Yue at close range. This should be a type of comprehension and application of the profound mystery of water, the Water Element Technique.
Finally, Rutherford's spiritual power and soul power were a little weak, and he was sent flying by Lin Yue's sword.
"Hahaha." Lin Yue spat out another mouthful of blood and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Rutherford's low and suppressed voice was heard. In the next moment, he appeared behind Lin Yue and pressed a glowing green hand on Lin Yue's brain.
"You're courting death." A strong sense of life and death crisis surged in Lin Yue's heart. Without a word, Lin Yue's warrior power exploded and he swung his sword.
"Impossible!" Rutherford's horrified voice rang out, and then it turned into silence. His body was shattered by Lin Yue's sword, and a translucent crack in the membrane appeared where Rutherford had been.
"Boom!" The sword aura was like a rainbow. This time, Lin Yue did not restrain his strength at all. After the powerful attack killed Rutherford, the powerful fighting energy did not disappear. Instead, it continued to move forward and suddenly bombarded the huge iceberg.
"Rumble!" A massive scene suddenly unfolded.
At the spot where the iceberg was hit, the ice on the side of the mountain began to disintegrate. Large pieces of ice fell off the mountain and fell down the mountain. With so many huge chunks of ice falling down, the scene at the foot of the mountain could be imagined. It was even more violent and spectacular than an avalanche.
After about half an hour, the collapse of the mountain gradually came to an end. As the ice fell off, a huge inner groove appeared on the upper half of the iceberg, which made the entire iceberg look like it had been bitten. Looking at the upper half of the iceberg that was only supported by half of the mountain, Lin Yue was a little worried that it would suddenly break.
Suddenly, a powerful aura approached from afar.
"Divine level expert!" Lin Yue's expression changed. Lin Yue suddenly recalled that the only Divine level expert in the Arctic Icecap was the Planar Overseer Hodan. Such a huge commotion must have attracted his attention.
"Let's take a look." Lin Yue didn't leave hastily. After all, the other party was a Divine level expert, and he was also the Planar Overseer. If he accidentally angered the other party, it would definitely be detrimental to him.
Soon, a blue figure appeared in front of Lin Yue. It was an old man with a white beard and white hair. His eyes were blue, and he looked amiable with a smile.
"My lord." Lin Yue spoke first.
"My name is Hodan, the Planar Overseer of the Yulan continent. I believe that your teacher should have mentioned me to you before.”The old man said with a smile.
"Sir, do you know me?" Lin Yue asked in surprise.
"Michelle, the youngest genius magus in the history of the Yulan continent, the most valued disciple of the High Priest of the Yulan Empire. Who doesn't know her?”Hodan said.
"Milord, you flatter me. So, why did you come to find me, sir? Could it be because I challenged Rutherford?”Lin Yue said cautiously.
"In order to continuously improve themselves, it is very normal for experts to challenge each other. Death is also the fate of many experts. I naturally won't care about your battle with Rutherford. Even if you kill him, it only proves that you're stronger than him. I'm here for something else.”Hodan said. Having watched over the Yulan Plane for several thousand years, he had long since grown accustomed to these battles.
"Then may I know why Sir is looking for me?" Lin Yue already had a guess in his heart, and his expression became solemn.
"Right now, your power can be said to have reached the level of the strongest below the Deity level. I wonder if you've considered going to the Divine Plane or the Higher Planes.”Hodan said with a smile.
"Teacher has also told me about the matters of the other planes. Senior, regarding Milord's suggestion, I've decided to wait until I reach the Deity level before considering it. I'm still young, and there are many things that I haven't done yet, so there's no rush.”Lin Yue declined.
"Alright, if you ever want to leave this material plane, you can come to the Arctic Icecap again. I live in the depths of the Arctic Icecap, on the highest iceberg.”Hodan didn't force Lin Yue and told him the way to find him out of habit. Although he was the Planar Overseer, he couldn't force others to leave his plane.
"My lord, I'm sorry for making you come here for nothing.”Lin Yue tried his best to lower his attitude and said humbly.
"This isn't a wasted trip. This is my job as the Planar Overseer. If that's the case, I'll be leaving first. Remember what I said. If you understand, you can come to the highest mountain in the deepest part of the Arctic Icefield to find me.”With that, Hodan flew away.
"Phew, I've finally sent this god away.”Lin Yue heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Hodan leave.
Truthfully speaking, Lin Yue wasn't afraid of Hodan's strength. What he was most afraid of was the power that Hodan wielded. He had the power to banish prisoners into the Gebados Planar Prison. The Planar Guardians had the power to do so. Perhaps he couldn't do it for those who were stronger than him, but for those who were weaker, like Lin Yue, it was definitely not a problem.
What kind of place was Gebados Prison? The people who escaped from the original novel described it as desolate and barren. Even the elements of heaven and earth seemed to be scarce. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a place where birds did not shit. Although there were many experts there, they had only gradually advanced over countless years under the pressure of life and death. The survival of the fittest could not be described as cruel.
Lin Yue did not want to stay in a place where there was no hope. Even survival might be a problem.
After sending Hodan off, Lin Yue immediately turned and left the Arctic Icecap. He was as fast as he could be. In just a few hours, he had crossed the North Sea from the Arctic Icecap and returned to the Yulan continent. He had entered the Eighteen Northern Duchies, a place controlled by the Snow Goddess Temple.
Lin Yue stopped at the outskirts of a small town on the border of a dukedom. Right now, he wasn't in a hurry to return to the Yulan Empire. There were some things he needed to figure out. Why hadn't he become a Deity yet, and why hadn't the Laws of the world descended?
In order to complete the final hundredth of the Profound Mysteries of Explosion, Lin Yue had truly put his life on the line. Without using his defensive armor or battle-qi, he could only rely on his physical strength and comprehension of the profound mysteries of the Laws to fight against Rutherford, a Prime Saint who was on par with him in the profound mysteries of the Laws. It could be said that he was limited in every aspect, and he was extremely passive. In addition, Rutherford's attacks were impossible to guard against, directly injuring Lin Yue's internal organs. If not for the fact that he had some Level-8 and Level-9 healing spells that could be instantly cast to alleviate his injuries, Lin Yue would have been unable to hold on any longer. After he finally managed to send Rutherford flying with a single slash, he had successfully reached 100% of the Profound Mysteries of Explosion. In the end, Lin Yue unleashed his full power and killed Rutherford, who had ambushed him.
However, the complete comprehension of the Occult of Explosion did not allow Lin Yue to welcome the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, let alone become a god. This made Lin Yue very puzzled.
Thus, after escaping Hodan, Lin Yue, who had returned to the Yulan continent, came to a halt. He felt as if he was missing something. It was precisely because of this that he had failed to become a Deity even though he had completely comprehended the profound mysteries of Explosion. He needed to find this reason, and he felt that this reason lay within him.
It was a small town in the Duchy of Oren. Because it was close to the North Sea, there were many merchants coming and going here. This made the economy here much more prosperous than the towns of other empires. It was even comparable to the remote towns of some empires.
In this small town called Rika, a shop appeared half a year ago. Of course, there was nothing special about this shop. It was just that the young man who opened the shop was very young and handsome, attracting many single girls in the town.
"Auntie Jiya, I will consider what you said. Look, the guest is here, so I won't chat with you anymore. I'll go and do my work.”In the shop, a man in his twenties smiled at a middle-aged woman with long golden-red hair.
The middle-aged woman looked outside the shop. Sure enough, a few more people had come. She couldn't continue speaking and said,"Think about it." He stood up and left.
"Phew, he's finally gone." The man heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the door of the shop."Customer, what do you need?"
The people who came to the shop were a few mysterious people in gray robes and hoods. The person who brought them here was an acquaintance of the man.
"Michelle, I brought you a few customers. They are here to buy magic scrolls.”The person who spoke was dressed in a green robe. There was a green eagle eye embroidered on the chest of the robe, and below the eagle eye were five drops of water. This was the symbol of the 'Eagle Eye' of the Guild of Magic in the Duchy of Oren. The five drops of water proved that he was a grade-5 mage certified by the guild.
This person was called Bogdan Popovich, one of the managers of the Eagle Eye Guild branch in the town of Riga. He was considered a regular customer of this shop.
As for the man in the shop, he was Lin Yue, who had come to the Eighteen Northern Duchies half a year ago. Unable to find the answer, Lin Yue decided to stay for the time being and experience life. Hence, he entered the town and opened the shop.
In the eyes of many ordinary people, this shop was just an ordinary fabric shop. In fact, if a mage with a certain level of magic cultivation passed by, they would discover that this shop was constantly filled with mana fluctuations. There were many beautifully patterned cloth materials on the shop, and they all had a slight mana fluctuation. These were all magic scrolls, from level-1 to level-6. There were all kinds of magic scrolls, but most of them were light and water type, and most of them were mainly used for healing and defense.
Bogdan had only discovered it by chance when he was shopping, and he had become a regular customer ever since. As a mage, and a mage of a guild, it was common for him to go on missions. A powerful magic scroll could often save his life.
However, the Magic Scrolls sold here were more expensive. They were more than half the price of ordinary Magic Scrolls of the same level. However, anyone who had used these Magic Scrolls would know that the spells they could instantly cast were much stronger than those of the same level. As a result, the mages who had never bought anything before turned around and left after seeing the price, while those who had bought it before came again and again.
"Lower the price so that more people will buy it.”Bogdan whispered to Lin Yue.
"The price is clearly marked. Take it or leave it." Lin Yue said directly.
"Gentlemen, what level and type of scrolls do you need? This is the information sheet. I'll give it to you after you fill it out. "Lin Yue took out a piece of paper. On the paper, there were rows of names neatly written, and there was a space behind the names. "Just mark the number on the back of the selected scroll.”
The mysterious leader took the paper.
"Boss, the scrolls here are more expensive than ordinary scrolls of the same level. This doesn't seem to make sense." The leader of the group, a gray-robed man, spoke in a hoarse voice from under his hood.
"Unreasonable?" Lin Yue glanced at the gray-robed man and said indifferently,""If you think it's unreasonable, you can choose not to buy it. I think Bogdan told you this when he brought you here.”
"This is what we need." The gray-robed leader didn't argue. Instead, he handed the completed form to Lin Yue.
"Please wait a moment." Lin Yue took a look at the list, then turned around and walked into the shop. When he came out again, he had a few scrolls in his hands.
"A total of 30 million gold coins. Transfer or cash?”The total price Lin Yue revealed shocked Bogdan.
"Thirty million?" Bogdan asked in disbelief.
"A lot?" The way Lin Yue looked at the villagers made Bogdan's self-esteem suffer another blow.
"Transfer the money." The gray-robed leader took out his magicrystal card. The magicrystal card issued by the Shikoku Gold Bank could be used to transfer money to each other.
"Take care, everyone. I won't send you off." After the transfer, Lin Yue put away the Magic Crystal Card and said to the few gray-robed men who had left.
"30 million just like that? Since when did ordinary magic scrolls become so profitable?”Bogdan was still in disbelief.
"Ordinary? If grade-9 magic scrolls are considered ordinary, you can try buying one.”Lin Yue's disdainful gaze struck Bogdan's heart again.
"Fine, I'll buy it. It's just a grade-9…What, a grade-9 magic scroll!”Bogdan stared at Lin Yue with wide eyes.
"Why haven't I seen it on the shopping list? Not to mention level nine, even level seven is rare.”Bogdan was also a regular customer.
"Firstly, your magus level is too low. Secondly, you can't afford it.”Lin Yue hit the nail on the head.
"I can finally see you clearly now.”Bogdan shook his head and said," Michelle, who is your teacher? To be able to create a grade-9 magic scroll, he must be at least a grade-9 Great Magus.”
In Bogdan's opinion, only mages of the ninth rank or above could produce grade-9 magic scrolls, and such a person must be Lin Yue's teacher.
"Can't it be me?" Lin Yue said.
"You? If you were the one who made the grade-7 magic scroll, I would believe you. But forget about the grade-9 magic scroll.”Bogdan laughed.
"Haha." Lin Yue smiled. He did not refute.
The higher a mage's cultivation was, the harder it was to make magic scrolls. Not only did one need to have a corresponding mage's cultivation, but one also needed to be extremely proficient in magic arrays and magic inscriptions. The process of making magic scrolls could not tolerate any mistakes. Generally speaking, the production of magic scrolls would be done by a higher-level Magician who was of a lower level. This way, the success rate would be much higher and it would be much safer. For example, a grade-9 mage could produce magic scrolls that were grade-9 and below. Of course, there were also some mages who could produce magic scrolls of the same level. For example, a grade-9 mage could produce grade-9 magic scrolls, but the success rate was very low.
When Lin Yue had become a grade-9 Great Mage, he had spent a lot of time and energy, as well as a large number of precious magic materials. After failing more than ten times, he had finally succeeded in creating a grade-9 magic scroll. This showed how difficult it was for a mage to create a magic scroll of the same level.
Now that Lin Yue had reached the Grand Magus Saint level, under the control of his powerful spiritual and soul power, he could easily cast grade-9 spells. It was even easier for him to make grade-9 magic scrolls. However, Lin Yue naturally wouldn't tell anyone about this. It was meaningless.
"Alright, I'll treat you tonight. If you have nothing else to do, you should go back to your guild.”Lin Yue said.
"Tonight at Phoenix Song Restaurant." Bogdan said.
"No problem, I'll pay." Lin Yue nodded.
"Alright, I'll do it. Hehe." Bogdan left with a lewd smile on his face, his footsteps light.
"How vulgar." Lin Yue shook his head, then turned around and walked back into the shop.
"It's been half a year, but I still haven't found the reason why I can't become a god.”Lin Yue felt helpless and anxious.
At night. In the most prosperous commercial center of the town, Medis Square, the brightly lit hotels, shops, and hotels were filled with people.
As the largest restaurant in the town, Phoenix Song Restaurant was extremely popular. Whether it was merchants or some of the nobles in the town, they all frequented it.
In a high-class private room in Phoenix Song Restaurant, Lin Yue and Bai Gedan were drinking. Beside them were a few scantily dressed, pure or seductive women serving them. There were also a few dancers singing and dancing.
"Milord, let's drink." A woman with a delicate figure and a thin veil picked up a wine glass and fed Lin Yue.
"How long have you been working here?”Lin Yue didn't refuse. After drinking, he asked casually.
"Three years." the woman said softly.
"It's quite long. How old are you?" Lin Yue said.
"Seventeen." the woman said.
"Not easy." Lin Yue said after a moment of silence.
"Michelle, why are you asking so many questions? Since they did it here, it means that they have already made up their minds.”Bogdan said casually," Besides, do they have a choice?”
"That's right. Since we're already here, we naturally have to blend in, serve our guests, and please them. Only by getting everyone's recognition can we live a better life.”The woman laughed.
"Is that so?" Lin Yue smiled.
"Sir, humans are like this. You and your environment. If you don't accept the changes in your environment and don't integrate into it, you naturally won't be changed by it. However, if you don't acknowledge the environment, the environment won't acknowledge you. In the end, the environment will even reject you. In our line of work, if we don't blend in, we'll really be at our wits 'end.”An older woman said.
"If you don't acknowledge the environment and don't integrate, you'll be rejected and won't be recognized?”Lin Yue said softly. However, it was this sentence that made Lin Yue's eyes shine brighter and brighter.
"Hahaha, I understand." Lin Yue laughed and disappeared in a flash.
Lin Yue stood on the peak of a mountain about a hundred miles away from the town. He looked at the vast land and relaxed his mind. Countless memories appeared in his mind.
In his previous life, in this life.
It turned out that he had never been able to let go of his previous life, nor was he able to integrate into the world of this life. In this world, Lin Yue had never really looked at the people and things around him. Because in his heart, there was a trace of him who regarded this world as an illusion, an unreal world, a game.
However, the people in this world were made of flesh and blood. The vast land and the boundless ocean existed. They all carried countless real and lively lives. Similarly, what happened on this land was not only the things in stories. There were many big and small things that you did not care about.
"Cultivation, cultivation. Ever since I had a cheat, I seemed to have neglected many things. It was precisely because of this that I was getting further and further away from this world.”Lin Yue thought back to all these years.
He had come to this world in year 9984 of the Yulan calendar, two years younger than the main character, Linley. And now, it was already the tenth month of year 10021 of the Yulan calendar. Lin Yue had already lived through thirty-seven years, and before he knew it, he was already thirty-seven years old.
Thirty-seven years old, in the Holy Region, was undoubtedly extremely young. However, in some ordinary families, in his previous life, he was already middle-aged. Lin Yue did not live this long in his previous life.
"Compared to the length of this life, the ties of the previous life are so insignificant.”The stronger one was, the higher one's realm would be, and the different one's mentality would be. Looking back at his previous life, Lin Yue suddenly felt that he could really cut off those worries in his heart.
"Since you've already come to this world, then you should continue living as one. Lin Yue, Michelle, Lin Yue's name is already a memory, it's already the past. Michelle is my present.”Michelle, who had already confirmed her own identity, became more relaxed and integrated into the world.
Suddenly, he felt lucky.
Weng!
The Laws of Heaven and Earth descended!
Michelle raised her head and felt a powerful, soul-shaking power descend upon her. It completely covered her, and the surrounding space was distorted by this power, separating her from the rest of the space. She was floating uncontrollably.
"Too magical, too terrifying. Is this the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth?”Michelle could feel the vast, boundless, ancient, and strange power. To be more precise, it was the existence of laws. In front of it, Michelle felt like an ant, insignificant, but its existence shook Michelle's soul.
"Someone has become a god?" Outside the imperial capital of the O'Brien Empire, within War God Mountain, O'Brien, who was wrapped in flames, opened his eyes and looked towards the north.
"Whoosh!" A blazing flame turned into a meteor and flew out of the Martial God Mountain.
"Someone actually became a god independently. Who could it be?”In the Yulan Empire, the High Priest, who was in secluded meditation, sensed the ripples of the natural laws. After hesitating for a moment, he transformed into a streak of light and flew out as well.
"Is there another genius like me in this world?”The King of Assassins, Cesar, who had been hugging her, suddenly froze, and then disappeared into the gentle land.
At this moment, Michelle could not do anything. Under the power of nature, Michelle floated in the air. Very quickly, a special power entered Michelle's mind, enveloping his soul. At this moment, all the profound mysteries and insights in Michelle's soul were seen through. As for the rest, it was as if there was a power that protected all of Michelle's privacy. Even the laws of the world could not be seen.
"Sizzle ~~"
Right at this moment, above Michelle's head, a power that contained the aura of the laws began to gather rapidly. At the same time, the fire element power also gathered crazily. A large amount of natural elements swarmed over from the surroundings and gathered at a point.
In just a moment…
The elemental essence of the world dissipated, and a black crystal that was emitting a faint red light floated above Michelle's head. This was the fire attribute Demigod divine spark. The instant this divine spark was formed, it naturally formed a connection with Michelle.
This was a divine spark that was formed from Michelle's soul aura and was completely compatible with Michelle's soul.
Without any hesitation, Michelle chose to leave the body when she was asked whether to leave the body or the body.
"F * ck!" When Michelle placed the divine spark beside her, a sharp pain engulfed Michelle's soul. He could only vaguely feel the laws of the world circulating, as if a small knife had cut through it. Then, the crystal soul was split into two.
As Michelle screamed in pain, a portion of her crystal soul was left in the depths of her mind, turning into a complete scale again. However, it was much smaller. Another portion flew out of her mind and merged into the Godhead.
Suddenly, as her soul merged with the Godhead, Michelle's spirit shook. Her soul on the Godhead felt a vast and boundless place, and that place was…
Elemental Sea!
The red light of the Elemental Ocean illuminated the Elemental Ocean Plane. The outermost layer of the Elemental Tide was condensed into a liquid-like substance of the elements of heaven and earth, and after breaking through the surface of this layer of the elements of heaven and earth, there was endless divine power.
The shen power became purer as he went down.
Michelle naturally knew this, so she continued to explore. In the end, she could only stop at a place 20 meters below the surface of the elemental liquid.
"Rumble!"
Under the effect of the laws of nature, a lot of the divine power twenty meters below the surface of the elemental ocean suddenly disappeared into thin air. It descended to Lin Yue's side through a special channel formed by the laws of nature. Then, with Michelle's Godhead as the center, it quickly condensed into a divine body.
Soon, a naked body that looked exactly like Michelle's was formed. Then, with Michelle's thoughts, the godly power quickly condensed into a fiery red robe on the surface of the body.
As the power of the laws of heaven and earth disappeared, the surroundings became peaceful again.
"How strange." Michelle looked at her divine clone, which looked exactly like herself. She instantly felt as if she was looking at a mirror. Moreover, there were two perspectives. One was from her original body, and the other was from her divine clone.
"Phew." Michelle didn't think too much about it. Her original body and divine clone became one.
He closed his eyes once more and sent his consciousness into the depths of his mind. He saw a red figure sitting cross-legged under a smaller scale above his soul realm. It was Lin Yue's divine clone.
However, Michelle did not care about that. After using his divine clone to sense the elemental ocean and discovering that the rate of absorbing divine power was as slow as he had guessed, he decisively focused on the cheat template.
The template for the profound mysteries of the Laws was the same as before, but the light node above the Destruction-type protection column, which represented the soul, had changed. The light node representing the Deity-level soul had been lit up. This not only meant that his comprehension of the Laws had doubled, but his comprehension and fusion of the profound mysteries had also become faster. He would also be able to increase the strength of his soul without limit. Of course, this was only possible if he had countless souls and soul-enhancing items, such as the amethyst. As his soul continued to grow stronger, it meant that his comprehension and deduction of the profound mysteries of the Laws would also continue to grow faster. The speed at which he fused profound mysteries would also increase. There was also an additional notification for the god-level points.
Divine Level (5. Divine Power and spiritual energy consumed by using profound mysteries and soul attacks are halved. Damage received from soul attacks is halved.)）
As for the special skill, the damage bonus of the single-handed weapon had also changed. Just as Michelle had expected, it jumped from 50% to 100%, which was a 100-fold increase. It was a simultaneous increase in both divine power and divine body power. This meant that he was invincible among the lower gods after entering the lower god level. After all, the majority of Demigods had gained great mastery of a single profound mystery, and were still in the process of comprehending a new profound mystery. A very small number of Demigods were in the process of fusing two profound mysteries, just like Linley in the original novel.
And once one gained insights into two types of profound mysteries within the same Law, or fused two types of profound mysteries, they would become a God. The God stage was the stage where the profound mysteries of the Laws were the most inclusive, and there were strong and weak.
Other than some changes to the stats, the biggest change was that the Summoning, Illusion, and Transformations, which had not been activated from the start, had disappeared from the cheat panel. From Michelle's point of view, it was probably not suitable for his own talent, and there were many things that were in line with the world, so they were useless. After he was recognized by the world, he was automatically removed by the cheat, leaving only useful templates.
From now on, Michelle's Saint-level true body only had a column of cheats in the depths of his consciousness. The column was a combination of the Destruction-type and the Defense-type, the column was for the Destruction-type and the Defense-type, the column was for the Profound Mysteries, and the column was for special skills. These included the damage bonus from single-handed weapons (100%), Stealth (10%), and Lockpicking (Locksmith). Other than that, there was also a light beam node cheat that represented the level of one's soul and spirit, from the Apprentice level to the Divine level, which was the Soul Strength cheat.
This cheat also appeared in Michelle's divine fire clone's soul. However, under the Destruction Protection System, there was only the Law of Fire.
However, this was normal. After all, his divine fire clone could only train in the Elemental Laws of Fire. There was basically no need to think about anything else.
"I didn't expect that I would welcome so many Deities after becoming a Deity.”Michelle, who had reached the Divine level, could naturally sense any movement within a thousand miles. The senses of experts of the same level were much clearer, unless the other party concealed his aura and energy. However, it was obvious that the other party did not have such intentions.
One of them was blazing like fire, very similar to himself, most likely from the War God O'Brien. The other was filled with the rhythms of life, carrying with it a natural life force. Michelle was also very familiar with the aura of this person. This was the High Priest. The aura of the last person was somewhat restrained. He was like an assassin in the darkness, silent and undetectable. He could appear anywhere. Presumably, only Cesar could be a Deity like this.
"O'Brien, Cesar, and Teacher, since you've all come, show yourselves.”Michelle said loudly.
P.S. At the request of some readers, Michelle will be used in the future. Anyway, I'm not used to it.
