Humm—
The Laws of Heaven and Earth descended.
Under their influence, Locke's figure slowly rose into the air.
A vast, majestic will descended, and in that instant, Locke clearly felt that the Fog Profound Mystery—Illusion, which he had already completely comprehended, was condensed by that overwhelming will into a blue, diamond-shaped crystal that floated above his head.
At that mont, a realization dawned in Locke's heart.
Beco a god internally?
Or externally?
That imnse will seed to instantly understand his choice.
In the next instant, Locke felt as though his soul had been violently torn apart.
The pain was intense—but to his surprise, even after his soul was forcefully split into two halves, it suffered no damage whatsoever.
Moreover, the separated half was identical to his original soul in every way.
Guided by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, that separated portion of Locke's soul entered the divine spark floating above his head.
Boom!
At the mont Locke's soul fused with the divine spark, he felt as if he himself had beco Heaven.
The water elents throughout the world seed to fall entirely under his control.
With but a single thought, the surrounding water elents responded instantly, moving according to his will.
To gather water elents within a certain range and hold them perfectly still was effortless.
This was the so-called Divine Domain.
Locke did not indulge in this feeling of near-omniscience.
He knew very well that this state would not last long.
During the descent of the Heavenly Laws, the most important thing for a newly ascended god was to absorb as much divine power as possible.
Imdiately, Locke's soul—through his divine spark—connected to the origin plane of the Panlong Universe, also known as the Elental Plane.
This plane was filled with every elent that existed within the Panlong Universe.
So dense were these elents that they had condensed into vast elental oceans.
The so-called divine power used by gods was nothing more than the "seawater" of these elental oceans.
And the deeper one descended into the elental sea, the stronger the divine power beca.
Every ten ters, the strength of divine power increased by a factor of two.
Ordinary Demigods could usually only draw divine power from around one ter beneath the surface.
Knowing this, Locke naturally wished to extract the strongest divine power he possibly could.
Without the slightest hesitation, the mont his soul entered the elental ocean, it imdiately began to descend.
Fifty centiters.
Sixty centiters…
When Locke's soul reached a depth of two ters, he could clearly feel that this was close to his limit.
However, at the sa ti, he sensed that his soul was being tempered by the Laws of Heaven and Earth—its quality was rapidly improving.
Translated into the elental ocean, this ant that Locke's soul was still steadily sinking deeper.
But Locke also knew that the duration of the Heavenly Laws' descent was limited. He had to absorb as much divine power as possible in the shortest amount of ti.
With that thought, Locke's soul within the elental ocean suddenly transford into a rapidly spinning drill.
The divine power in the surrounding elental sea was dragged along by the rotation of his soul.
Under these conditions, his descent speed increased dramatically.
For other people, even after becoming Demigods, they could only rely on brute force to descend, just as Locke had earlier.
But Locke's attainnts in the soul far surpassed theirs.
His control over soul power was at least a hundred tis stronger than those gods who rely relied on crude spiritual sense diffusion.
With such control, altering the form of his soul power within the divine power sea was hardly difficult.
And just as Locke had anticipated—
The "seawater" of the divine power ocean was not rely resistance; it could also beco assistance.
Thus, aided by both the tempering of the Heavenly Laws and the divine power ocean itself, Locke's soul-drill plunged ever deeper.
Three ters.
Four ters.
Five ters…
Seven ters.
Eight ters.
Nine ters…
Boom!
When Locke's soul reached ten ters beneath the surface of the divine power ocean, he clearly sensed that the divine power here was twice as strong as that above.
At this depth, the vortex ford by the divine power above ten ters could no longer exert much influence.
And for Locke's soul power, stirring up a vortex in this deeper region was no easy task either.
Even so, being able to reach ten ters beneath the divine power ocean was more than enough to satisfy him.
Imdiately, Locke opened the channel of his soul power.
Crash—crash—crash—
With the assistance of the Heavenly Laws, divine power was continuously drawn from the elental ocean by Locke's soul.
That divine power rapidly condensed outside the divine spark, forming Locke's body.
In just a few breaths, Locke's divine body was fully ford.
Water-elent divine power further condensed into a blue robe draped over his form.
Unlike Locke's original body, this water-elent divine clone had blue hair and blue eyebrows as well.
Although Locke's main soul never entered the elental plane, it too was tempered by the Heavenly Laws.
While the total quantity of his soul did not increase, the quality of his soul rose by a full tenfold.
Only after Locke's soul had been completely refined did the Laws of Heaven and Earth slowly withdraw, vanishing without a trace.
The mont the Heavenly Laws retreated, Locke's water-elent divine clone suddenly felt the channel through which he absorbed divine power shrink—
From a broad river into a re trickling stream.
The contrast was so stark that Locke nearly cursed out loud.
After a quick calculation, Locke realized that the divine power he had absorbed during those few breaths under the Heavenly Laws' assistance would take several hundred years to accumulate at his current absorption speed.
Sigh…
With that realization, Locke shook his head inwardly and withdrew his soul power from the divine power ocean.
Opening his eyes, the first thing Locke saw was—himself.
That sensation of "oneself looking at oneself" felt incredibly novel.
Then, with a single thought, the blue-robed Locke instantly rged back into Locke's main body.
Hng…
Only after the divine clone's spark returned to his soul space did Locke's emotions gradually settle, calming down from the exhilaration of having achieved divinity.
