Michelle, who had become a God, had undoubtedly become much more relaxed, and her training had become much more relaxed. This was especially true after she had obtained her divine clone, which gave her many more opportunities to do other things.
For so many years, Michelle had always felt guilty towards her mother, Milia. He had been busy with his cultivation and had not spent enough time with his mother. He had not fulfilled his filial piety.
Now, Michelle could finally let go of her worries and spend time with her family.
However, Michelle did not expect that the first thing he faced after relaxing was the worry of marriage.
A Deity, and the new pillar of support for the Yulan Empire after the High Priest had retired, actually had problems with marriage. No one would believe this.
However, that was the truth.
Although Milia knew Michelle's personality, as a mother, they all shared the same mentality. Naturally, she hoped that her son could start a family as soon as possible and have a child.
After learning that Michelle would be staying behind to accompany her for a period of time, Milia began to spread the news of marriage search throughout the entire Yulan Empire, and even the Yulan continent, in order to find a spouse for Michelle.
As soon as the news spread, the entire Yulan continent was in an uproar. No matter how powerful they were, all the young women who were of good looks and good looks either voluntarily or passively went to the Yulan Empire.
"Mother, aren't you going overboard by doing this?”Michelle's expression was a little ugly.
During this month, the Yulan Empire's human traffic had increased dramatically. Countless young and beautiful women could be seen everywhere on the streets. Even so, with Michelle's current status, the number of people who could actually see him could be counted on one hand.
However, there were still a small number of women who were arranged by Milia to go on blind dates with Michelle.
All of these women had extremely high status, looks, and figures. Some of them had even reached an amazing level of strength. They were magisters of the eighth rank, warriors of the ninth rank, and even a Saint-level magus. However, they were all old enough to be Michelle's great-great-grandmother. Only, after reaching a certain level of strength, age was no longer a problem.
"With your personality, if I didn't do this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to have a grandson in my lifetime.”Milia said sadly.
"Why are you saying this? Don't worry, I will definitely have a way to help you reach the Saint Domain. At that time, we will have plenty of time.”Michelle's face darkened as she spoke.
"But I also hope that you can get married as soon as possible. Not only for me, but also for this family.”Milia said.
Family. Indeed, whether it was the Heavenly Sword Saint or the current Michelle, they could already establish a huge family. However, the prerequisite for developing a family was the number of people. However, because of Milia, the Heavenly Sword Saint only had one son, Michelle. Michelle was not even married yet. There were only a few people in the entire family. It seemed like a joke, even though this family was more terrifying than any other family.
"Mother, won't you consider letting Father give birth to a younger brother or sister for me?”Michelle shifted the battlefield.
"I know what you think, but I don't agree.”Milia shook her head.
"You should know that I gave Father a divine spark. Once Father refines the divine spark and becomes a Deity, all your methods on him will be ineffective.”Michelle said seriously.
"…You are you, and he is him." Milia said.
"Alright, I'll try my best to find it. As for the news you sent out, forget it. I won't consider anyone below the Saint-level." Michelle made her request.
"Yes." Seeing that Michelle was willing to compromise, Milia did not want to force her.
Seeing her mother nod, Michelle also let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced. How could Saints be so easy to find? Furthermore, a female Saint was extremely rare in the entire Yulan continent.
Finally, after Michelle's request was added to the list of requirements for marriage, the countless young women of the Yulan continent immediately began to wail. This allowed Michelle to relax for a long time.
In addition, Michelle, who hadn't had a gathering with her roommates from room 1988 at the Ernst Institute for many years, found a time to gather them.
Kirson Rhine was a member of the royal family of the Rhine Empire. After the destruction of the Holy Union, he transferred to the Imperial Magic Academy in his own country. After becoming a grade-6 mage, he married a noble woman and lived a leisurely life. Coupled with his talent, he had already reached the standard of a grade-7 mage and was not far from the grade-8.
The second son, Bardal Longs, had joined the O'Brien Empire after the Holy Union was destroyed. He could now be considered a successful merchant, but his magus level had fallen far behind due to his business. He was currently only a magus of the sixth rank.
The third brother, Qiao En Ming Da, was not much older than Michelle, and was the most accomplished of the four. He was from an ordinary noble family. After the destruction of the Holy Union and the disappearance of the Ernst Institute, he had decisively left the Holy Union to roam the world. Over the years, he had experienced many life-threatening crises and even offended a major power. In the end, he had survived all of them and even became a magus of the eighth rank. The current him didn't have the slightest bit of weakness and childishness from back then. All he had was calmness and sharpness.
The four of them gathered once again. They were all sighing with emotion. They were in awe of Michelle's terrifying strength and identity.
Michelle could also feel that the friendship between the four of them was not that strong anymore. After all, it had been many years since they last met. In addition, back at the Ernst Institute, he had been completely focused on training, spending most of his time with Linley in the back mountain. His current strength and status had alienated this thin layer of relationship.
All in all, this gathering after so many years was not as wonderful as Michelle had imagined. Other than understanding their current situation, it was more of a sense of strangeness. In the end, the party ended with a stiff farewell.
"In the end, we're still inferior to Linley and the others." Michelle sighed.
The four people in room 1987, where Linley was, could truly be considered brothers. As for their boss, Yale, the help he provided Linley continued to deepen their relationship. In the end, Linley's assistance to Yale caused their relationship to rise to another level.
In fact, it could be seen that the friendship between strangers depended more on each other's help than their daily interactions. Only by going through thick and thin together could true feelings be revealed.
There was no doubt that when Linley was weak, the help Yale and the others had given him was obvious. Similarly, when Yale was in trouble, Linley had stood up for him. This sort of comrade-in-arms relationship had already surpassed the level of friendship, reaching the level of brotherhood.
As for Michelle, whether it was her own strength or her identity as the son of the Heavenly Sword Saint, both of them allowed him to stand at a high level. The help he needed was too little, and the things that Michelle had experienced with them could be counted on one hand. From getting along to friendship, Michelle and them were more like classmates. At most, they were just ordinary friends.
In the end, Michelle was lonely. It was just that he had a cheat and was obsessed with training and improving his strength. He did not feel anything.
Year 1030 of the Yulan calendar. September. An intense ripple of the Laws of Heaven and Earth appeared from the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, shocking all the Deities of the Yulan continent. Soon, the law fluctuations dissipated.
Within an ancient castle within the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, Michelle stared at her divine water clone, which looked exactly like herself, with a rueful expression on her face.
Finally, after his original body had gone all out in his deductions, as well as hunting down a large number of Saint-level magical beasts in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and the Sunset Mountains, increasing the strength of his soul and accumulating experience in battle, Michelle had finally mastered the Profound Mysteries of the Water Element. She had become a Water Deity and possessed a second divine clone.
"You've become a Water God?" The High Priest appeared at once, looking at Michelle in shock.
After fusing her divine water clone into her body, Michelle nodded with a smile on her face.
"Michelle, your talent is truly shocking.”After a while, High Priest Catherine said bitterly.
"It was just luck." As Michelle's strength increased, her attitude changed. Although she still had some respect for the High Priest, she was not humble anymore. She only had the power and arrogance of a strong warrior.
"In four years, it will be our turn to enter the Necropolis of the Gods.”The High Priest suddenly said.
"Teacher, if you are willing, you can stay on the 12th floor for 10 years. As for the divine spark of a God, I'll help you retrieve it.”Michelle said.
"Is this really okay?" The High Priest said.
"Teacher, don't forget that I'm also a God. To me, killing Gods is as easy as lifting a finger, as long as I don't encounter abnormally powerful existences.”Michelle said confidently.
"Let's try it first. If it really doesn't work, we'll do as you say.”The High Priest's tone softened.
After becoming a Deity, she was already an existence at the very peak of the Yulan continent. The ten thousand years of peace and quiet had caused her to lose a lot of desire to fight. If it weren't for the fact that comprehending the Laws was too difficult, she wouldn't have chosen to fuse with divine sparks to become a God. After all, her talent wasn't too high. It was already considered lucky for her to become a demigod.
"Alright." Michelle nodded and did not continue.
"There are still four years left. Aren't you going to take in a disciple?”The High Priest suddenly said.
"I don't have such plans for the time being." Michelle shook her head. Ever since he had become the new pillar of the Yulan Empire, countless geniuses had wanted to become his disciples, but they had all been rejected by him.
Yulan calendar, year 1034, fourth month, sixth day. Within the castle of the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, the four Deities of the Yulan continent were gathered together. These four Deities were all humans.
In addition, there were also a few Saints. These were all Prime Saints who were currently the closest to the Deity level in the Yulan continent. They were Linley, Fain, Desri, and Tulily.
After Linley's group had left the Necropolis of the Gods, Michelle had led the four Deities to gather together. She had also summoned the Saints, in preparation for a major reshuffling of the Yulan continent, eliminating the superfluous kingdoms.
And this suggestion had been made by the War God O'Brien.
The War God, Cesar, and the High Priest were all standing behind Michelle. Michelle's gaze swept past Linley's group. Just as they were still wondering about today's gathering, he spoke,"I called you here today for only one purpose, and that is to reduce the Yulan continent to three empires. They are the O'Brien Empire, the Yulan Empire, and the Baruch Empire. We will leave this purge to you. It's not appropriate for us to appear.”
These few simple words caused the hearts of Linley's group to tremble.
The skies of the Yulan continent were about to change.
"Do you have any objections?" Finally, Michelle asked.
"This is a good thing, so I naturally won't reject it.”Linley said after a moment of silence.
"No objections." Fain spoke as well. As the War God's disciple, he naturally wouldn't have any objections.
"Tulily, could it be that you can't bear to part with the great plains of the far east?”Caesar's teasing voice rang out.
" I naturally have no objections to this. It's also a good thing that we can take this opportunity to let the people of the grasslands integrate into the culture of the Empire.”Tulily was drenched in cold sweat.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave the rest to you. We'll be heading to the Necropolis of the Gods in three days.”War God O'Brien finally said.
Next, it was time to decide the division and ownership of the territory.
To the west of the Yulan Empire, including the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, as well as the Holy Union and the Dark Alliance, all belonged to the Yulan Empire. As for the O'Brien Empire, it would take over all of the territories south of the empire, with the exception of the Yulan Empire. This meant that the Rohault Empire and the Rhine Empire would be removed from the empire and merged into the O'Brien Empire. As for the Baruch Empire, it had taken over the eastern part of the Yulan continent. The entire Yulan continent, outside of the Forest of Darkness, was divided up by the Deities and Saints.
The gathering ended. The Deities left, and Desri and the others left as well. Only Michelle and Linley remained.
"Want a drink?" Michelle waved her hand, and a jug of wine and two cups appeared on the table.
"Sit." Michelle gestured.
"Tell me about your experience in the Necropolis of the Gods. I heard that you've gained quite a lot from this trip, even obtaining a few divine sparks.”Michelle laughed.
"Don't tell me you also want to ask me for a divine spark?”Linley laughed bitterly.
"No need. There are plenty of them in the graveyard anyway.”Michelle said casually. But when Linley heard this, his heart trembled.
"Hehe, I can't see through your strength anymore.”Linley had a bitter look on his face.
"You can't see through it in the first place." Michelle raised her glass.
"That's true." Linley was rather disappointed. He picked up his wine cup.
"Ding!" After a simple clinking of glasses, the two of them downed the wine in one go.
"What wine is this!" Just as he finished drinking the wine, Linley's face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise.
"It's nothing much. I just extracted the blood essence of a dozen Saint-level magical beasts and added some ingredients to make it.”Michelle laughed.
"Not bad." Linley could feel the blood in his entire body churning, and at the same time, his battle-qi was constantly circulating. After absorbing the energy within the wine, his battle-qi became even purer.
"Phew." Linley only needed a few moments to digest the wine. At his current level of power, although the wine was very nourishing, it was no longer of much use. What he needed now was to gain insights into the profound mysteries of the Laws.
"The Necropolis of the Gods is indeed filled with danger.”Linley sighed. Then, he started talking about his experience in the Lifetime Graveyard.
The overall course of events was quite similar to the original novel. The only difference was that on the eleventh floor, when facing the million Abyssal Blade Demons, Linley didn't break through to the Laws of the Wind, but rather the Laws of Destruction that he had been training in.
"In that case, you're about to become a Deity in the Laws of Destruction?”Michelle was surprised.
"Within twenty years, I should be able to step into the Deity level.”Linley said confidently.
"Congratulations." Michelle smiled, but still shook her head slightly.
"However, I still suggest that you don't give up on the wind and earth elements after you become a Deity of the Destruction Laws. You are very talented in these areas.”Michelle said.
"I will. Let's not talk about the wind element, I definitely won't give up on the Laws of the Earth. After all, Grandpa Doehring Cowart has been watching me all this while.”Linley laughed.
"Where is that old man? Why don't I see him?”Michelle said.
"I gave the earth-style divine spark to Grandpa Doehring Cowart.”Linley began to laugh, and the way he looked at Michelle became rather strange.
"It seems like you already know." Michelle laughed as well.
"That's right. Refining a divine spark to become a god would allow Doehring Cowart to break free from the shackles of the Coiling Dragon Ring and live in the world once more.”Linley said.
"However, a divine spark is indeed very valuable. If not for the opportunity to enter the Necropolis of the Gods, it would be very difficult for me to obtain a divine spark in the Yulan continent with my own power.”Linley said seriously.
Let alone Linley, who hadn't become a Deity yet, even if he had become a Deity, it would still be extremely difficult for him to kill another Demigod with just the power of a Demigod. And how many Deities did the Yulan continent have? And which of these Deities had not been Deities for many years?
"As for the Radiant Church, you should be preparing to make your move, right?”Michelle said. After the powerful figures of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows had died at Michelle's hands, and with the destruction of the Holy Bible, the power of the two Churches had plummeted. Linley had also taken advantage of this opportunity to suppress them. Over the years, the power of the two Churches, which had once stood tall in the Yulan continent, had been reduced by more than ten times, becoming existences that were like minor Churches. However, it was because of its deep foundation and the support of a portion of the Saint Domain that it did not perish all of a sudden.
"It's time to make a move." Linley's eyes turned cold. Both his mother and father had died because of the Radiant Church. The hatred between his parents was irreconcilable.
"However, speaking of which, I still have to thank you.”Linley said.
"Although it's a piece of cake, I don't like to be used by others. Tell me, how do you want to compensate me?”Michelle laughed, her gaze turning towards the Coiling Dragon ring on Linley's hand.
"With your current strength and status, it's very difficult for me to compensate you. We can only leave it for the future." Linley pretended not to see Michelle's gaze as he spoke.
"After I return from the Necropolis of the Gods, I'll be heading to the Higher Planes.”Michelle said.
Linley was silent for a moment, then shook his head."Let's wait and see. When you return, whether or not I can become a Deity is still a question. Even if I do become a Deity, I've only just become a Deity. The Higher Planes are still far too dangerous for me.”
"Forget it. Right, after we enter the Necropolis of the Gods, if any other Deities appear, you'd better hide and not fight them head-on. Even if the other party really does do something that would infuriate the heavens and infuriate the people, don't act recklessly.”Michelle said solemnly. Right now, what he was most worried about was that Linley would act as described in the original novel, destroying the Great Botha Levee in his battle against the Deities who had escaped from the Gebados Planar Prison, releasing countless Deities. At that time, the skies of the Yulan continent would truly change, and he would no longer be able to control them.
Over the years, Michelle had attempted to intercept some Deities who had escaped from the spatial seal in the Foggy Valley, and she had indeed been caught and killed by him. However, as long as this spatial hole continued to exist, there would be an endless stream of Divine level experts escaping. Only the heavens knew what kind of Divine level experts would appear after Michelle and the other Divine level experts entered the Necropolis of the Gods. In order to prevent things from developing like the original novel, Michelle had no choice but to specially instruct them.
It wasn't that Michelle hadn't thought of leaving a divine clone behind in the Yulan continent, but the Necropolis of the Gods was a rare opportunity. He wanted to use the challenges in the Necropolis of the Gods to allow his water clone to reach great success in the profound mysteries of Roundness and Softness, allowing him to enter the God level. This way, with his two divine clones, he would be able to protect himself even more after entering the Infernal Realm.
"Why?" Linley asked, puzzled.
"Don't ask me why. Even if you really want to fight, don't fight on the Great Botha Levee.”Michelle said sternly.
"I will remember that." Linley nodded.
"If there's nothing else, you can go back. I'll leave the task of shuffling the cards in the Yulan continent to you.”Michelle said.
"Yes, I am. Then I'll take my leave." Linley rose to his feet, and then, under Michelle's gaze, flew away from the castle.
"I really hope that Linley won't cause too much trouble.”Michelle sighed.
