But besides the Profound Mysteries of Laws, what else is there to the cultivation of a God-level expert?
Roy's mind was filled with surging thoughts.
Perhaps due to the boost from his soul's advancement, Roy's thinking speed far surpassed his usual pace.
In Coiling Dragon, what left the deepest impression on him, starting out powerful and later blending into the crowd, was what?
It wasn't protagonist Linley's transformations, nor the innate divine abilities of various divine beasts.
It was—the Divine Domain!
The first appearance of the Divine Domain had an awe-inspiring presence—
It was in the moment protagonist Linley was almost killed by Steller, an expert from the Church of Light, when everything turned eternal.
Under the shroud of the Divine Domain, it was as if space itself had frozen, and everything within the domain became completely still.
Late at night, silent, oppressive, terrifying...
Divine grace as vast as the sea, divine might as imposing as a prison...
At that moment, Hissay, the King of Assassins, lightly stepped through the air, and with a casual gesture, displayed what it meant to be a "God."
Alas...
"Buzz..."
The Divine Domain is an ability that the soul naturally possesses after becoming a God-level expert.
This ability allows one to control the elemental energies within a certain range, and by suppressing these elements, achieve a degree of "imprisonment."
Unfortunately, the effect of this "imprisonment" isn't very strong, only affecting those in the Saint Realm.
Once the opponent is also a God-level expert, the effects of the Divine Domain are canceled out.
Currently, Roy was comprehending his own "Divine Domain."
No, Roy wasn't comprehending the "Divine Domain," but the "instinct" within his soul.
After becoming a God, the soul is baptized by the laws of heaven and earth, gaining the ability to control corresponding elements.
The Divine Domain of a God is stronger than that of a Demigod, and the Divine Domain of a High-level God is stronger than that of a God.
The most fundamental reason for this is that during the advancement, the soul is baptized by the laws of heaven and earth.
What Roy was comprehending was this "instinct" of control.
Amidst the surging soul power, Roy practiced his Divine Domain again and again, attempting to uncover the secret of the soul's control over elements.
As Roy's soul grew stronger, his control over it also became more powerful.
One year, two years, three years, five years...
At some point, the Soul Gold Beads in Roy's spatial ring were completely absorbed by him. The more than three hundred fist-sized Soul Gold Beads caused Roy's soul to become more than ten times stronger.
Of course, Roy didn't realize this at the moment.
His entire focus was immersed in the research of the "Divine Domain."
One hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years...
In the eyes of the outside world, Roy's palace was continuously shrouded by his "Divine Domain."
However, in reality, this wasn't Roy constantly releasing his Divine Domain, but rather releasing it time and time again.
Over the course of a thousand years, Roy released his Divine Domain every single moment.
It could be said that in the entire Coiling Dragon world, from its creation to the present, spanning nearly two epochs, no God had ever deployed their Divine Domain as many times as Roy.
At a certain moment, the laws of heaven and earth descended...
"Buzz..."
In the depths of his soul, Roy's consciousness felt as if it had merged with all things in heaven and earth, silently experiencing the baptism and enhancement of the laws of heaven and earth upon his soul.
When the laws of heaven and earth dispersed, although Roy withdrew from the state of merging with heaven and earth into one, he was still immersed in his previous comprehension.
...
"This, how is this possible?"
Inside the City Lord's mansion, Laurent, Fred, Queller, and Shelley were gathered together.
At this moment, their expressions were not good.
"What happened to Roy? He's only been here for over ten thousand years and he's already advanced to High-level God?"
Roy was an elder they had recommended to the family. The stronger Roy's strength became, the more support they would receive from the family.
Of course, the stronger Roy's strength, the better treatment he would receive as well.
This win-win opportunity was a great thing for both them and Roy.
And when Roy accepted Shelley's spatial ring, he had also stated that the time for him to break through to High-level God might be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years later. In other words, Roy himself also favored focusing on merging Profound Mysteries of Laws.
They simply couldn't understand why Roy had broken through to High-level God so quickly.
The merging of Profound Mysteries of Laws becomes more difficult the further one progresses.
They wouldn't believe that Roy had made any progress over the past ten thousand years.
"What exactly is this Roy up to?"
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"Alright, Queller."
Finally, Fred shook his head. "Before Roy broke through, he already had the strength of a Five-star Devil. Now that he's become a High-level God, he possesses the strength of a Six-star Devil, which is enough to serve as an elder in the family."
"No matter what, he's our family's elder now. We should just wait."
"Besides, meeting such a pleasant surprise when we were establishing the city is enough."
"Let's not be too greedy."
"That's true."
"So, what do we do now?"
"We wait. After Elder Roy comes out of seclusion, Sister Shelley will also return to the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range with Elder Roy. We can ask Elder Roy then why he did this."
"Mhm."
However, the four of them never imagined that their wait would last for over a hundred years.
...
"Fortuitous encounter, a great fortuitous encounter!"
Roy opened his eyes, his mouth splitting open almost to his ears.
This time, to comprehend his soul using the "instinct" of the Divine Domain, Roy had used the Divine Domain countless times without interruption. He had gained some insight into how his soul used the "Divine Domain."
Perhaps it was because the intensity of his soul's improvement was too high, but as Roy was comprehending his soul's "instinct," the mysteries of the "Power" Profound Mysteries of Laws and the "Earth Pulse" Profound Mysteries of Laws also naturally seeped into his soul. Over ten thousand years, Roy's mastery of these two Profound Mysteries of Laws went directly from introductory to great completion.
This clearly went against Roy's original plan. After achieving great completion in his laws, the difficulty of fusing laws had also increased significantly.
However, there was nothing he could do. Roy's mind was entirely focused on comprehending his own soul, and he hadn't noticed the rapid progress of his other two Profound Mysteries of Laws.
Of course, as the saying goes, a blessing in disguise.
At the very least, Roy felt that even if he could do it all over again, he would still choose to obtain this opportunity.
Upon advancing to High-level God, the laws of heaven and earth descended.
Then, due to his condition at that time, Roy's soul briefly reached a state of "unity of man and nature," leaving the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth enhancing his soul within his soul.
The Divine Domain is an ability possessed by all God-level experts, bestowed by the laws of heaven and earth.
In a way, it could be considered the "innate divine ability" of all God-level experts.
Every time a God-level expert advances, this "innate divine ability" becomes stronger.
Once all the Profound Mysteries of Laws in a certain aspect are perfectly fused, becoming an invincible "Paragon High-God," they will receive a gift from the laws of heaven and earth, gaining "Willpower."
