4339 Duan Ling Tian’s Choice of Supreme Powerhouse Divinity

Before entering the Realm Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian already knew how rare and precious the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was. Even supreme powerhouses might not necessarily possess one, and not every supreme powerhouse could leave behind a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity after their death.

Duan Ling Tian's knowledge about the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was limited until the announcement was made about the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity being a part of the reward for ranking first in the overall ranking in the advanced chaotic region. At that time, he learned a lot from the conversations he overheard.

It was not easy for supreme powerhouses to create a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. They were only able to do so once they reached a certain level of strength. Needless to say, this was something weak supreme powerhouses were not capable of.

The Supreme Powerhouse Divinity would be created when a supreme powerhouse comprehended a law to a certain level. Someone capable of such a feat was considered extraordinary even among supreme powerhouses.

One could only obtain a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity from the supreme powerhouse who created it or kill the supreme powerhouse who created it.

"Senior…"

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down. He did not realize his tone had changed when he spoke. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the time when he overheard the middle-aged supreme powerhouse, who led him here, address someone as 'my lord'. At that time, he had dismissed it as a dream. After all, who could make a supreme powerhouse, who stood at the peak between heaven and earth, be so powerful? However, when he heard that the familiar voice, which had spoken to him since he arrived at this place, possessed so many Supreme Powerhouse Divinities, unlike others who only possessed one or none; he knew that the other party had to be very strong. To possess so many Supreme Powerhouse Divinities, the other party had to be very strong to create so many or to kill many supreme powerhouses to obtain their Supreme Powerhouse Divinities. With this in mind, he felt that it was only natural that the middle-aged supreme powerhouse referred to the other party as 'my lord'.

"I have a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of space. Can you suggest which Supreme Powerhouse Divinity I should choose now?" Duan Ling Tian asked. Then, he detailed the levels of comprehension of the various laws he comprehended in descending order: the law of space, the law of life, the law of time, the law of fire, the law of earth, the law of metal, and so on. He also told the other party how he initially considered choosing a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of space so he could merge it with his original one and upgrade it to hasten his speed of comprehending the law of space.

After that, Duan Ling Tian waited patiently for the supreme powerhouse's response. He was not certain if the supreme powerhouse would be willing to advise him. After all, the other party was very strong even among supreme powerhouses.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian assumed that all supreme powerhouses were about equal in strength. He did not expect that there were differences in strength between supreme powerhouses as well. In some cases, the difference was similar to that between a top advanced Supreme God and an ordinary Supreme God.

'Will he advise me?' Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, feeling anxious. He did not know if a high and mighty supreme powerhouse would bother to advise him, a mere intermediate Supreme God. However, it did not take long before he obtained the answer.

"There's nothing wrong with your initial plan. Another Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of space will certainly hasten the speed of your comprehension…"

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian assumed that the supreme powerhouse would encourage him to follow his initial plan. However, the supreme powerhouse's following words made him realize how ignorant he had been.

"However… Have you considered the possibility that the supreme powerhouses of the two Supreme Powerhouse Divinities might have different styles of comprehending the law of space? There's a possibility that the two styles are conflicting. If that's the case, the new Supreme Powerhouse Divinity you obtain will be rendered useless. Not only that, but it might even harm you."

Duan Ling Tian fell silent after listening to the supreme powerhouse's words. He wondered if the supreme powerhouse could tell if the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of space was compatible with his own Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.

As though the supreme powerhouse could read Duan Ling Tian's mind, he said, "I have two Supreme Powerhouse Divinities that contain the law of space, but I don't know if they're compatible with yours. Since you comprehend the law of space, you should know that everyone may travel the same path in the beginning, but eventually, everyone's paths would diverge. In my opinion, I don't think it's necessary for you to choose a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of space. The one you have is good enough to help you comprehend the law of space to its perfect form. Another one might hasten your speed, but it might also slow you down. Nonetheless, the final decision lies with you."

The supreme powerhouse did not force his opinion on Duan Ling Tian. After all, it was inappropriate.

"Thank you for your advice, senior," Duan Ling Tian said, expressing his gratitude. Then, he added, "I won't choose another Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of space then. Do you have any suggestions on which one I should choose?"

The supreme powerhouse remained silent. The duration of the silence was longer than before.

Just when Duan Ling Tian thought the other party had ignored him, the other party said, "You can choose between the law of time or the law of life."

Duan Ling Tian mulled over the two choices for a long time after hearing the suggestion. His law of life was stronger than his law of time. Based on his comprehension, he should choose the law of life. However, the supreme powerhouse was aware of this, but the supreme powerhouse did not single out the law of life; instead, the supreme powerhouse threw the law of time into the mix. This meant that the law of time must have some advantage over the law of life.

Moreover, the supreme powerhouse was aware of the existence of the Divine Tree of Life in Duan Ling Tian's Little World. The Divine Tree of Life would complement the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of life, and their effect would be similar to two Supreme Powerhouse Divinities with the same law that did not conflict.

And yet, the supreme powerhouse still suggested the law of time.

After making up his mind, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I've made up my mind. I'll choose the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of time."

Duan Ling Tian had always found the law of time mysterious. It was only when his master inherited the legacy of a supreme powerhouse who was an expert in the law of time that he was able to grasp and comprehend the law of time with his master's guidance. Since then, his comprehension of the law of time had improved greatly. Naturally, it was still nowhere near the level of his law of space.

Under normal circumstances, Duan Ling Tian would ask about the reason why the supreme powerhouse suggested the law of time along with the law of life. However, he did not do so because he felt that it was obvious the supreme powerhouse favored the law of time. Moreover, he was also worried about annoying the supreme powerhouse if he asked too many questions. After all, he was just a mere intermediate Supreme God whom supreme powerhouses could kill with just a thought.

"Are you sure? There's no turning back after this," the other party asked.

"I'm sure," Duan Ling Tian said without any hesitation as he nodded.

The law of time, one of the Four Supreme Laws, was known to be the trickiest law. It could manipulate time. It was also the reason Duan Ling Tian was able to stay for such a long time in the divine fountain without wasting much time outside. Apart from that, when faced with an enemy, one could even stop time to kill one's opponent.

"Very well."

Following that, an object that resembled the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity in Duan Ling Tian's possession appeared in midair before it flew toward him.
