196: Divine power and supreme rules! (2/2)

“How do you obtain divine power? Isn’t it simple? The Heavenly Dao planned everything, paving the way for you. Once you reach level 100, you can obtain divine power,” Mu San said slowly.

Li Si shook his head, then said, “I know all that, but I can’t level up. Is there another way to obtain divine power without leveling up?”

“There is, and that is cultivation! Sense the power of heaven and earth, and master it yourself!”

“Is it difficult?”

“Difficult! As difficult as ascending to heaven!” Mu San sighed endlessly, saying, “The path of cultivation goes against the heavens; it requires comprehension, lifespan, and patience.”

Comprehension? Lifespan? Patience?

Li Si had plenty of the first two, especially at this moment. After acquiring 59 skills, his hidden attributes soared. His Luck value was 437, Comprehension value was 215, and Charm value was 228. His stats were gradually becoming abnormal.

He only lacked patience.

“Is that the only way?” Li Si didn’t want to cultivate. This was a game world; he could improve by killing monsters. Who would want to cultivate? Cultivators were laborious, and he certainly didn’t want to be one.

“Of course, there’s also a shortcut: if your comprehension is heaven-defying, you can achieve sudden enlightenment in one morning, grasp the Supreme Rule, and ascend to the Supreme Realm. By then, divine power would be optional,” Mu San said.

“But ascending to the Supreme Realm is even harder. I’ve lived countless years and haven’t even touched the threshold of the Supreme Realm.”

“The Supreme Realm?” Li Si murmured to himself.

Heaven-defying comprehension? He just didn’t know if his 215 Comprehension value was enough to be heaven-defying.

Most likely not enough.

“If only I had the Skill - Great Comprehension Technique.”

Li Si began to dream.

As for cultivation? No one in their right mind would want to cultivate!

“Let’s go catch ghosts first.”

Within the Fallen Plains, the Life Battle Flag in Yaori Camp was still eagerly awaiting true spirits…

“Buzz~~”

The surrounding space vibrated, and Li Si arrived at the Fallen Plains.

His Hundredfold Clones spread out, searching for hidden ghosts.

“Hehe, found you!”

This was a level 99 Delusion Ghost, capable of possessing bodies and creating a realm of delusions to manipulate and toy with human minds.

“Human, sink into this wonderful dream.”

The Delusion Ghost released a skill, pulling Li Si into a dream. Splendid palaces, beautiful women, extravagant living—this was the ultimate dream.

However, these beautiful things could not mislead Li Si.

Because the Great Purification Technique constantly kept his mind clear, unaffected by mental interference.

“A dream? I can do that too.”

Li Si unleashed the Heaven-Deceiving Illusion Array. In an instant, the Delusion Ghost fell into a desperate situation. Sacred Daoist techniques and terrifying sunlight eroded its vitality.

“No! I don’t want to die!!”

Just as it was about to die in the illusion, the Delusion Ghost ascended to godhood.

“Boom!”

Terrifying pressure permeated the heavens and earth.

“Earth Vein Spirit Imprisoning Formation!”

Li Si raised his hand to draw the array, imprisoning the Delusion Ghost and injecting it into the Life Battle Flag.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations! You have successfully injected a true spirit into the Life Battle Flag.】

【Now initiating the final step of rebuilding the camp.】

Time passed, and Li Si roamed the Fallen Plains, searching for camps everywhere, occasionally making mistakes and accidentally killing ghosts.

【Ding!】

【Dawn Blade’s Third Advancement progress increased.】

【Dawn Blade’s Third Advancement progress increased.】

......

One day later, Dawn Blade officially completed its Third Advancement, gaining a professional skill.

【Dawn Strike】: Unleashes a sword strike before dawn, dealing 100 times true damage, no cooldown, consumes 1,000,000 Mana points.

It was just okay.

100 times true damage looked very high.

But in reality, it was not even a hair on the leg of Skill - Life Scourge.

With a 260 billion HP cap, Skill - Life Scourge could deal 26 billion true damage. Provided it could hit, ten strikes could instantly kill a Mythical BOSS.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations! You have received the Fourth Advancement quest — Dawn Blade · True God.】

【Kill a True God-level Abyssal Creature to successfully complete the Third Advancement quest. Dawn Blade will automatically unlock more skills.】

“A True God-level ghost?”

Li Si felt helpless, thinking that Dawn Blade’s Fourth Advancement quest was a bit too difficult.

Moreover, at this point, the benefits from attribute increases were already minimal; tier advancement was more important.

Thinking this, he wanted to go to the Fallen Land to see if he could find anything.

Qingyun Abode, in front of the Ginkgo Tree.

Li Si woke Mu San again: “I want to go to the Fallen Land to see.”

“The Fallen Land?”

Mu San immediately widened his eyes upon hearing this. At this moment, he even shivered slightly.

“You want to go to the Fallen Land?!”

“Yes.”

Li Si nodded slightly. In this game world, with supreme teleportation, the Great Purification Technique, and the ability to revive, he was invincible.

“Are you out of your mind?!”

Mu San was shocked. More than that, he was worried. He wasn't worried about Li Si, but about Li Si’s spirit liquid. If Li Si died, who would provide him with spirit liquid?

“Huh? What do you mean? Are there Supreme-tier beings in the Fallen Land?”

“Yes! And a full hundred Supreme-tier beings!” Mu San exclaimed, his voice dropping, as if afraid of being overheard by the Supreme beings.

“What if they are Supreme beings? Can they leave the Fallen Land?” This was Li Si’s most pressing question. He wasn’t afraid of dying; he could revive. He was afraid that the Supreme beings could leave the Fallen Land and reach Blue Star.

“Of course not! Otherwise, the Canglan World would have long ceased to exist and become a dead zone.”

“Okay, then there’s no problem.” After pondering for a moment, Li Si still decided to go to the Fallen Land to investigate. Knowing oneself and the enemy leads to victory in a hundred battles.

Otherwise, in half a year, when the Sealed Land fully opens and Supreme-tier ghosts descend, the Canglan World would definitely have no chance of winning.

“Mu San, do you know the coordinates of the Fallen Land?”

“I do.”

Mu San recited a long string of coordinate place names, then said, “The Fallen God Disturbance is about to begin. The Constant Kings of the Canglan World have already accumulated their strength. The day they comprehend the Supreme Rule will be the day they achieve supremacy. You don’t need to push yourself so hard. With your strength, you can safely pass through the Fallen God Disturbance.”

Mu San slowly revealed some secrets.

After becoming a god, the body is tainted by divine power, making it difficult to achieve supremacy. Therefore, some powerful individuals forcefully kept their realm in the legendary domain. These powerful individuals are the eternally undefeated Kings.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Si gradually understood the key information: divine power and the Supreme Rule were two different powers. Obtaining divine power made it difficult to comprehend the Supreme Rule. No wonder there was the Constant King tier; it turned out they were all powerhouses aiming for supremacy.

There were 100 Supreme ghosts in the Fallen Land.

Were there 100 Eternal Kings in the Canglan World?

“Knock knock knock!”

Li Si knocked on Zhou Guang’s door.

Zhou Guang’s strength was very high; logically speaking, Zhou Guang was the closest to a Constant King.

“Oh, what do you want! Why are you here again?” Zhou Guang appeared, scratching his messy hair.

“I want to ask you something.”

“Go on, ask quickly.”

“How is your comprehension of the Supreme Rule progressing? What Supreme Rule are you comprehending?” Li Si asked directly.

Zhou Guang’s eyes immediately widened, then he said, “You kid… how do you know about these things?”
