According to the knowledge Ye Lan possessed regarding the entire Douluo Dalu series, there were no more than a dozen known Divine Tools across all God Realms—and he had never even heard of a Creation-level Artifact!
Surveying his own current configuration, Ye Lan couldn't help but marvel, silently celebrating the terrifying synergy between his "Foresight" and "Equivalent Exchange" systems. Regardless of the cost, the "Dream Come True" system had thoroughly satisfied both his collector's itch and his perfectionist tendencies.
With his unique trait where every spirit bone and spirit ring scaled alongside his personal strength, he could finally, with a clear conscience, undergo the baptism of the eighth trials for both the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.
Eighth Trial of Life: Reach Level 99, slay a Rank 100 Abyssal Monster, and collect a full set of spirit bones. COMPLETED!!
Evaluation: SSSSS
Reward: Life God Harmony increased by 60%; Evolution of all spirit bones into Divine Raiment!!
Eighth Trial of Destruction: Reach Level 99, slay a Rank 100 Abyssal Monster, and collect a full set of spirit bones. COMPLETED!!
Evaluation: SSSSS
Reward: Destruction God Harmony increased by 60%; Evolution of all spirit bones into Divine Raiment!!
In the next instant, a surge of dark purple and emerald light erupted from Ye Lan's body. Every single one of his spirit bones was being infused with the intermingling powers of Life and Destruction.
Ordinarily, such a fusion would be impossible! A Level 99 Peerless Douluo's body simply couldn't withstand divine power of such a high caliber, and standard spirit bones were inherently limited in the level of universal laws they could contain.
However, Ye Lan's current physical constitution was more than capable of acting as a vessel for these higher laws. Furthermore, because his spirit bones all possessed the "External Spirit Bone" trait, they evolved dynamically with his physical attributes.
Originally, his bones were destined to become the Life Divine Raiment. But now, with all evolutionary conditions met, the divine powers of Life and Destruction merged perfectly. The "Power of Creation"—a fusion divine skill once wielded by the original God-Kings of Life and Destruction—was being recreated within Ye Lan's very bones!
All fifteen of Ye Lan's spirit bones transformed into Creation-level Immortal Artifacts!!!
This "Creation" designation didn't necessarily mean they surpassed Super Divine Tools in raw power yet, but rather that their fundamental attribute was now Creation. Effectively, Ye Lan was now draped in fifteen individual Super Divine Tools. Should he fully inherit the positions of Life and Destruction and ascend to God-King, these would instantly evolve into true Creation-grade artifacts.
Ninth Trial of Life Initiated: Accept the Seat of Life.
Reward: Spirit ring lifespans increased by 500,000 years.
Ninth Trial of Destruction Initiated: Accept the Seat of Destruction.
Reward: Spirit ring lifespans increased by 500,000 years.
Two voices echoed in Ye Lan's mind. If he accepted now, he would immediately become a Dual God-King, possessing the power to merge both into the Power of Creation. His equipment would transcend instantly.
But Ye Lan had a better path. Relying on his spirit skills "Limit Break," "Foresight," and "Equivalent Exchange," he could forge a Godhood that housed every law in existence—a seat far more terrifying than the standard Creation Godhood.
The Path to Supreme Godhood
To create his own Godhood, Ye Lan needed to comprehend every law: the Life Laws of the Goddess of Life, the Destruction Laws of the God of Destruction, the Light, Fire, and Holy Laws of the Seraphim, and so on. While mastering any single high-level law grants the potential for godhood, they vary in strength and ceiling.
Generally, mastering a single high-level law with enough faith and immortal essence allows one to create a Godhood. Complex seats like the Asura or Angel gods are combinations of multiple laws, some strong and some weak. In terms of Martial Souls, Life and Destruction are like "Ultimate Attribute" souls, while Asura and Angel are "Super" souls.
What Ye Lan sought was the Ultimate Super Martial Soul—where "Ultimate" represented the highest tier of law, and "Super" represented the exhaustive collection of all laws.
His Blue Silver Grass currently possessed only four limit-tier attributes. But as his mastery over laws grew, those attributes would multiply. There is a saying that there are "Three Thousand Great Daos," implying infinite paths to godhood. Ye Lan intended to be the God who controlled them all.
He activated "Foresight" paired with "Equivalent Exchange" to calculate the vitality required to convert the laws he had perceived into Ultimate Attributes for his Blue Silver Grass.
Through "Foresight," he learned a grim reality: for every new attribute added to the Blue Silver Grass, he would need to consume vitality equivalent to a God-King. Laws from "impure" or combined Godhoods—like the water and light of the Sea God or the slaughter and devouring of the Asura God—would require ten times that amount to be refined to the "Ultimate" level.
With his current strength—merely 89 times that of a First-Class God—he didn't have enough.
So, Ye Lan began to stack "Heartsteel."
After undergoing "Polarization," Heartsteel's bonus increased from 10% of damage dealt to 50%. Through "Life Sharing," a single trigger granted him 1.5% of his maximum health. With "Ultimate Blue Silver Sublimation" restoring 4% health per second, and the "Blessing of the Goddess of Life" doubling that, he was regenerating 8% of his max health every second.
That meant he could trigger Heartsteel 160 times per minute, increasing his health limit by 10.82 times every sixty seconds.
"Still too slow," Ye Lan muttered.
He used "Foresight" and "Equivalent Exchange" to find a way to boost his recovery. After countless simulations, he realized spirit ring skills couldn't be altered regardless of the cost. Instead, he pivoted: he used "Equivalent Exchange" to buff the "Blessing of the Goddess of Life" itself.
By sacrificing vitality equivalent to a Super God-King, he forced the blessing to transform from a "100% boost" to a "10x Multiplier."
He then activated "Ultimate Void Thought," "Ultimate Heartsteel," and "Ultimate Life Sharing," locking onto nearby believers. After two minutes of frantic stacking, his vitality reached twice that of a Super God-King.
Then, he triggered the 10x multiplier.
Now, he could trigger Heartsteel 1,600 times per minute. His health limit exploded, increasing by ten billion times every minute. Within sixty seconds, his base vitality reached one hundred million times the level of a Creation God.
Had it not been for "Perfect Control" and his "Kunpeng Avatar," the mere pressure of his existence would have obliterated the Douluo Planet instantly.
The Birth of the Universe Grass
Armed with this near-infinite reservoir of vitality, Ye Lan began a frenzy of evolution.
He began merging attributes: Fire, Sanctity, Evil, Darkness, Poison, Mental, Slaughter, Blood, Devour, Water, Light, and Dominion. As the attributes accumulated, the cost of "Equivalent Exchange" grew exponentially—ten times more expensive for each subsequent addition. Adding just these twelve Ultimate Attributes cost him his entire "one hundred million Creation God" vitality hoard.
Ye Lan simply smiled. He lacked many things, but vitality was no longer one of them.
His soul power was still at the God-King level, but his Martial Soul had become something nameless. It now possessed sixteen Ultimate Attributes. If his previous form, the Blue Silver Grass—Radiant Life, allowed him to fight thirty levels above his rank, this new form would allow a mere Spirit Scholar to defeat a Titled Douluo at the moment of awakening.
And he wasn't done. "Limit Break" allowed his Blue Silver Grass to grow without end. It could house everything.
He had fully mastered the laws of the gods he had encountered (Life, Destruction, Angel, Rakshasa, Sea God, Asura), but others were still a mystery. However, the Douluo Planet itself was composed of laws; they were just hidden.
Ye Lan discovered that every being has different "attunements." He was naturally attuned to Life and Destruction. To perceive other laws without a divine seat was nearly impossible.
So, he spent another "hundred million Creation God" lives to purchase the Talent for Universal Perception.
Next, using "Perfect Control," he converted all his attributes into "Comprehension." His ability to understand laws exploded to 100,000 times that of a normal genius. Combined with "Thousand-Fold Consciousness Acceleration" (from the evolved Golden Dragon Eyes) and "Hundred-Mind Control" (from the evolved Ancient Beast Touch), he achieved a 700,000-fold acceleration.
In a single second of real time, he experienced 700,000 seconds of deep meditation—the equivalent of two thousand years of Tang San's cultivation.
To prevent himself from losing his mind to the sheer volume of data, he used "Equivalent Exchange" to ensure that within one minute of real time, his perceived time and external time remained synchronized for his physical body.
One minute later, his mind was a library of the cosmos. In sixty seconds, he had accomplished what would have taken Tang San 130,000 years of nonstop meditation.
He had mastered:
The Seven Elemental Laws: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space.
The Seven Emotion Laws: Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Lust, Gluttony.
Higher Laws: Metal, Ice, Lightning, Evil, Kindness, Moon, Sun, Creation, Yin-Yang, Fate, World, Karma, Reincarnation...
He had mastered every law present in the Douluo God Realm. Through his "One Law Leads to All" realization, he even deduced unknown laws. By his count, he held exactly Three Thousand Laws.
The calculation for the final evolution began. To turn all three thousand laws into Ultimate Attributes, and considering the 10x cost increase per attribute, he needed to trigger "Ultimate Heartsteel" 462,520 times.
At 1,600 times per minute, it would take him 289 minutes—nearly four hours.
Without "Perfect Control," the sheer mass of his Blue Silver Grass would have shattered the "Blue Silver Space" created by "Void Spirit," collapsed the Douluo Universe, and left him floating in a void of nothingness.
And so, while Tang San's anguished wails provided the background music, Ye Lan began the tedious journey of stacking.
Four hours later, Ye Lan felt a click in his soul. His Blue Silver Grass now possessed three thousand Ultimate Attributes. It was no longer Radiant Life.
It was the Blue Silver Grass—Universe.
Its emerald-gold body had shifted to the color of a star-studded galaxy. Its surface was covered by a flowing, dark cosmic veil. Simultaneously, the internal "Blue Silver Space" underwent a cataclysmic shift, evolving into a true, physical universe.
Aside from galaxies and the void, life had not yet bloomed within it, but the foundation was there.
Ye Lan let out a long breath, finally relaxing. He had truly feared that "Perfect Control" might fail and lead to the accidental destruction of the world. Now, his base vitality had settled back down to "only" one times the level of a Creation God—a level the current Douluo God Realm could actually support without exploding.
