Chapter 594 I am ascending to godhood, what are you waiting for?
Deep within the city of Erlen, within a relatively intact tower, the air was filled with two distinct yet strangely harmonious auras. One was a gentle aura of supreme purity, seemingly nourishing all things, while the other was a profoundly sinister aura, restrained to the extreme, yet still capable of shuddering the soul.
Alex's body, condensed with immense soul power and a fragment of the embryonic form of his godhood, hovered in mid-air, emanating a powerful aura of life. But this wasn't the entirety of his power, not even its core. He was meticulously adjusting the fluctuations of his own power, attempting to resonate with the underlying laws of the Douluo plane, seeking the perfect balance that would allow him to ascend smoothly within this realm and condense his complete godhood.
This wasn't a difficult task for him. Back in the Holy Demon Continent, he could have taken that step at any time if he so desired, becoming as old as the universe and completely merging with the light and undead attributes he controlled. But he rejected that path, because it meant losing part of his "self" and becoming part of the rules.
The rules of becoming a god in the Douluo plane were more in line with his expectations. They granted immortality and powerful divine power, yet they could still maintain their independent will and form. This was crucial to his plan to defeat the Silver Dragon King with Ji Dong.
At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, which was lazily licking its paws, suddenly raised its head, glanced at the distant sky outside the tower with its scarlet eyes, and spoke in human language, with a hint of impatience and amusement at being disturbed.
"It's so noisy outside, and someone's secretly spying on us." He flicked his tail, stirring up a wisp of black mist. "It seems like the aura you exude attracted them."
Electrolux slowly opened his eyes, his gray eyes serene, as if he'd already seen everything. The powerful life force around him subsided slightly, making him seem even more unfathomable.
"That's all right." His voice was gentle and indifferent, as if he were discussing the weather. "Perhaps they are just some lost travelers. Their desires and struggles have nothing to do with us. However, this glimpse... just allows me to more clearly perceive the power level and mental state of the spirit masters in this plane."
He tilted his head slightly, as if sensing something, and continued, "It's an interesting difference in the laws. Did you know? In the Holy Demon Continent, becoming a god means incarnating the laws and coexisting with heaven and earth. But here... it seems that the focus is more on the ultimate sublimation of individual power and eternal existence. God is more like a higher form of life, rather than the laws themselves. This saves a lot of trouble."
For him, adapting to the laws of the Douluo plane and becoming a god here is more like a transformation and upgrade of academic practice and power system, rather than a difficult breakthrough.
"Let them watch." Alex closed his eyes again and continued his law resonance. "Just don't disturb us. Our only target is the Silver Dragon King's divine core. These worldly disputes... are not worth mentioning."
"Indeed." Ji Dong stretched and transformed back into human form. "By the way, buddy, do you have a special liking for towers? I finally found a place to stay, and you chose this shabby tower. Why? Do you think it's convenient to stand high and see far, allowing you to look down on everyone at any time, or is it... some mages just like the loneliness of this vertical structure?"
"The tower is quiet, has a wide view, is not easily disturbed by trivial matters, and the energy flow is usually better than other buildings. For magicians who need to focus on sensing the elements, it is the most efficient choice." Ilex was able to spare some time to give an extremely rational explanation that was in line with the thinking of a magician, indicating that becoming a god was indeed not a difficult task for him.
But then he paused, as if feeling his explanation was too official, not quite the tone he'd use to talk to a friend. So, he added a few words, with a barely perceptible hint of self-mockery: "Maybe... I'm actually a bit used to it. After all, I've been in the tower for so long that sometimes I feel... well, the tower really is a place where I can think peacefully."
Admitting this is a rare humane expression for Alex, who has been a male ghost for thousands of years. After all, the long years will always allow some powerful beings to form certain specific habits and preferences.
The atmosphere remained eerie and tranquil. The aura surrounding Alex was no longer a single, majestic life force, but rather a shimmering aura of three distinct yet perfectly integrated laws. Warm and holy light, the profound and silent spirit of the dead, and the life that nourished all things. These three attributes achieved an uncanny balance and harmony within him, the very foundation of his attempt to resonate with the laws of the Douluo plane and create his own godhood.
"Lao Yi, regarding your godhood..." Ji Dong changed the subject, "You should have created your own godhood, right? Unlike us... it's inherited. What do you plan to call it?"
Ilex seemed to have absorbed a deeper layer of legal implications. His voice was calm yet carried an unquestionable authority, as if stating a fait accompli: "The Holy God of the Dead."
These five simple words strangely combine the two seemingly opposing concepts of death and holiness, magic and divine power, and accurately summarize the essence of his unique and powerful power.
Control the undead with sacred power and ascend to the throne of God through magic.
"Wow!" Ji Dong exclaimed exaggeratedly, "That sounds pretty cool!"
The style is so cool! It makes the wizards proud!
Not far from them, Wang Dong was leaning against a broken wall, her aura blending seamlessly with the environment of the ruined tower. She was considered a fellow traveler, but she was marginalized during Ji Dong and Alex's conversation.
Self-created godhood? She was tempted to say that such a scoundrel deserved to be a god, but she quickly realized that the consequence of saying that would be Ji Dong's tirade. If someone like Tang San could become a god, why couldn't Ilex?
But their conversation was frank, as if Wang Dong was just a quiet background.
This wasn't entirely due to neglect; more accurately, it was because Wang Dong's current state was quite unique. Within her was the divine power of the Butterfly God, a second-level deity fused with the power of destruction. However, perhaps due to her recent deification, the Douluo God still felt a certain degree of suppression against her divine power. Or perhaps it was due to the hidden injuries sustained from her recent clash with Di Tian. After all, how could a brat with only a dozen years of life compare to the scheming of a movie star-level dragon?
Di Tian only looked seriously injured, especially with Mu Xing's timely treatment. But Wang Dong was different. Di Tian had left her with hidden injuries when he dismantled her weapons, so her divine power was in a chaotic yet restrained state, unlike the flamboyant and eye-catching power of Ilex when he was striving for the divine position.
Wang Dong really couldn't understand how there could be such a sinister dragon in this world?
Many people guessed it was Brigitte, but it was actually Lao Yilai.
