Zhutian Panlong: They've all become gods, and they're only just joining the chat group.

After the two left, Richard finally had time to observe the changes in himself after becoming a god.

First, there was the weakness of his soul; the pain of his soul being torn apart still haunts Richard. But in the foreseeable future, he would have to go through it at least once more, and possibly more.

Secondly, there is divine power. Now that he has just become a god, he can extract lower-level divine power from the ocean of wind divine power.

In the ocean of divine power, the deeper one goes, the purer the divine power extracted. With his current strength, he can only extract divine power from a depth of about ten meters in the ocean of divine power.

You should know that even though he has just become a god, his strength is far beyond that of ordinary lower-level gods who have just become gods.

Of the nine profound mysteries of the Wind Laws, he has already comprehended six: Wind Element, Wind Movement Technique, Sound Waves, Vocal Music, Speed, and Slowness. Only Wind Space, Dimensional Blade, and Clone Technique remain to be comprehended.

Of course, there are different levels of understanding among the six types that have been comprehended. For example, he has only reached the beginner level in understanding the profound mysteries of sound waves and vocal music.

He had fully grasped the element of wind, and was only one step away from mastering the Wind Walk technique. He had also mastered more than half of the mysteries of speed and slowness.

Most importantly, he has already begun to integrate the profound mysteries; the wind element and the Wind Walk technique have long since begun to merge. In addition, the wind element has already resonated with the two profound mysteries of speed and slowness, and the two profound mysteries of speed and slowness have also begun to merge.

Therefore, his current strength far surpasses that of an ordinary newly promoted lower-level god.

With his current strength, he can only extract divine power about ten meters below the sea surface. It is estimated that below that is the mid-level divine power region.

Richard flipped his hand and took out his only divine weapon, the Azure Rain Sword. This was a divine weapon nurtured with wind-elemental divine power, and Richard had previously only used its inherent sturdiness and sharpness to fight enemies.

Now it can unleash its full power. Richard gently waved his hand towards the sky. A pale blue sword aura sliced ​​through the sky, shattering the clouds, and disappeared into the distance.

Richard chuckled. He had only used a tiny bit of divine power. As expected, divine artifacts are best used by gods.

Even though he was only a lower-level god, and even though the Qinglin Sword in his hand was only a lower-level divine artifact, the combined power of the two was still incomparable.

Now that I have become a god, I can choose a batch of top-quality weapons and equipment from my family and nurture them into divine artifacts.

This world is that simple and straightforward. There are no elixirs, no formations, and no weapon refiners. Divine artifacts are created by gods using their divine power, and main divine artifacts are created by the main god using his divine power.

The time required for nurturing can range from a few thousand years to tens of thousands of years; after all, the time of gods is not worth much.

As for the classification of divine artifacts, it's a simple and straightforward division into three types: physical attack artifacts, physical defense artifacts, and soul defense artifacts. That's all there is to it. There are no other functional artifacts or the like.

It has a simple and unadorned beauty.

Now Richard is also preparing to adapt to local customs and cultivate a batch of magical artifacts.

Putting everything else aside, he at least needs to replenish his physical defense artifacts, and with an additional clone, he also needs to equip his clone with a set of artifacts.

As for soul defense artifacts, these are very precious. Ordinary gods simply cannot make them. You need to find an expert in the field of souls to make them. Basically, only high-ranking gods of the life, death, and fate systems can make them.

Forget about the Tara plane; it doesn't have a single high-level god, and its strongest beings are only a few mid-level gods.

Richard had no intention of going to the four supreme god planes to roam around right now. His strength was still rapidly improving. He certainly wasn't in a hurry to become cannon fodder in the supreme god planes. At the very least, he should wait until one of his avatars became a high-level god before considering it, right?

Finally, he focused his gaze on the divine essence within his body.

This is a unique feature of the Panlong world. The entire Panlong world has seven elements of law: earth, wind, water, fire, thunder, light, and darkness, as well as four elements of rules: life, death, fate, and destruction, totaling eleven types of deities.

Godhood is further divided into lower-level gods, middle-level gods, higher-level gods, and chief gods.

The chief deities were created by the creator god Hongmeng, and there are a total of seventy-seven of them, a fixed number. Once the number of chief deities is full, no other deity can become a chief deity.

Becoming a supreme god has little to do with strength; it's mainly about luck.

The earliest batch of main gods were basically lucky ones, the kind of people who were walking on the side of the road and their main godhood fell into their arms from the sky.

Therefore, a considerable number of high-ranking gods secretly look down on the main god, belonging to the type of sour grapes, typical of "I'm stronger if I can't have it."

After all, they all cultivated to the peak of godhood through their strength and talent, comprehending all the mysteries of a system of laws and integrating them into one, reaching a point where they could not advance any further.

If they obtained the same divine status, they would indeed be stronger than a divine being who had not cultivated to the Great Perfection.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world. No matter how unwilling a high-ranking god of perfect perfection may be, he must submit to the chief god.

Richard could observe the cyan lower-level divine bead within his body; this was a truly materialized bead. It was the kind that could drop upon death, much like getting equipment after defeating a monster.

It contains all his insights into the laws of wind. If a Saint-level being were to find this divine spark, he could use these insights to guide him to become a lower-level god—the weakest god possible, one who would be unable to pursue the path of understanding the laws, forced to follow a single, ultimately futile path: refining a mid-level and then a high-level divine spark, eventually becoming the weakest high-level god. But it is still a shortcut to godhood, a path many Saint-level beings aspire to but cannot attain.

Finally, there's the issue of divine clones. A divine clone is still him; it's not simply a separate consciousness growing within a clone, nor is it multitasking. Rather, it's a higher level of unity, like the Three Pure Ones arising from one breath. They are all himself, yet each possesses an independent consciousness.

Richard couldn't quite explain the feeling either.

This divine avatar is not only his current source of combat power, but it can also share his current understanding of the laws. In the future, the divine avatar can comprehend the profound mysteries of the wind law, while his main body can focus on comprehending the profound mysteries of the water law.

He could even try to comprehend the laws of destiny. He had previously grasped a little bit of the laws of destiny, but because the laws of destiny were so obscure, it was really difficult to comprehend them.

In order to become a god as soon as possible, he put aside his understanding of the laws of fate and focused on comprehending the laws of wind and water.

Now that he has become a god, time is no longer so pressing, and he can allocate some time to try it out. That is the most mysterious of the four rules, the rule of fate, and it's impossible for Richard not to be curious.

Richard had always felt a sense of urgency, after all, this was the Tara plane, not the Yulan continent described in the Panlong story.

This place has a thousand times more powerful Saint-level beings than the Yulan Continent, and also dozens of gods. Unlike the early stages of the Yulan Continent story, which only had three gods on the surface.

In the Tara plane, there are dozens of lower-level gods and several middle-level gods.

Richard always felt insecure about not becoming a god. He was too afraid to roam the continent back then, and only traveled twice after becoming a Saint before returning to seclusion. After all, although the Saint Realm had a decent status, once you got involved in matters related to gods, you would die in vain.

Only now that he has become a god, and even has a certain confidence that he can survive under the hands of a mid-level god, has that sense of urgency eased a little.

Because he knew that as long as he followed the steps, his strength would gradually increase, and he would become the strongest in the entire Tara plane, at which point he would be completely safe.

Just as Richard was planning his future cultivation path.

"Ding! You have been invited to join the Interdimensional Chat Group. Please select whether to accept?"

Richard was almost stunned, but quickly recovered. First of all, it wasn't a god from the Tara plane joking with him. Then was it the chief god?

Has a supreme god ever emerged from the Tara plane? I don't know. It's possible, but the probability is low.

If this really was some great being playing a joke on him, he was more inclined to believe it was the Controller of Hongmeng, perhaps someone who saw through his transmigrator nature and played a little joke on him.

If this isn't a joke, then it means he's lived for hundreds of years, cultivated diligently for hundreds of years, and has now become a god. Is he now telling him he's about to die?

Who cares? Whether the great being is joking with him or it's a cheat code, he's determined to click in and see what's inside. He'll die knowing the truth.

Richard clicked "Accept" without hesitation.
