4355 The Game-Changing Rule

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew that supreme powerhouses also coveted the liquid from the divine fountain. It was likely that no one expected that he had given half of the liquid from the divine fountain he possessed to his senior brothers and Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia clan. Apart from that, the remaining liquid from the divine fountain in his possession had been brought to the lower realms by his doppelganger, who left the Divine Offering Land through a Destruction Divine Shuttle.

Duan Ling Tian decided to send his doppelganger from the law of life to the lower realm instead of his doppelganger from the law of life. It was his strongest law after the law of space and the law of time. Moreover, it was quicker for him to form a doppelganger from the law of life with the help of the Divine Tree of Life if needed.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian wanted to leave the Divine Offering Land using the Destruction Divine Shuttle as well. However, according to Xia Jie, supreme powerhouses were capable of tracking him to the lower realms through the Destruction Divine Shuttle unlike ordinary people. Needless to say, he would not take such a risk.

After Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger arrived, it traveled through various mundane realms and Devata Realms to make sure nobody was following him before he finally went to his family and friends and gave them the liquid from the divine fountain. Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he found out that Huan'er's cultivation had increased tremendously through his doppelganger.

'Lord of Gods?!' Duan Ling Tian was understandably in shock and disbelief. After all, Huan'er had been staying in a mundane realm with his family and friends all this while. He asked, "Huan'er, how did you raise your cultivation so quickly?"

"I'm not sure as well," Huan'er said, shaking her head. In fact, she was not aware of the extent of her current strength because she had yet to have a chance to test her strength out. She only knew her cultivation was rising rapidly. She told Duan Ling Tian when she cultivated, a spatial tear would appear next to her every once in a while. A mysterious energy would sweep out of the spatial tear and enter her body, helping her cultivation. Although the energy was mysterious, she did not feel any discomfort when it entered her body. Even after she became a Lord of Gods, the spatial tear would still appear along with the mysterious energy.

Duan Ling Tian's expression was solemn as he listened to Huan'er recount her strange experience.

'According to Huan'er, the energy comes from beyond the mundane realm… It's an external energy. What's going on?'

Even with Duan Ling Tian's current knowledge, he could not figure out the situation.

"Huan'er, when did this start happening?" Duan Ling Tian asked again.

"After I attained godhood," Huan'er replied.

Huan'er's cultivation speed had always been fast. Combined with the resources Duan Ling Tian provided, it was easy for her to attain godhood.

When Duan Ling Tian heard that this oddity began to appear after Huan'er stabilized her cultivation as a rudimentary god, he concluded that the mysterious energy had something to do with her being a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox, which was an extremely rare divine beast in the Devata Realms that only appeared once in a million year.

According to Huan'er's mother, information regarding the other Thousand Phantom Ice Fox in the history of their clan was limited. No one could confirm his exact cultivation base, but there was rumor that he had attained godhood.

Considering everything, Duan Ling Tian thought that Thousand Phantom Ice Foxes were really not simple. Otherwise, Huan'er would not have such a special encounter after attaining godhood.

'I've encountered many powerful divine beasts in the Realm of Gods. No matter how powerful they were, they had limits. Most, if not all prime supreme-rank forces, are that of humans, but there were some heavyweight supreme prime-rank forces that had divine beasts. It's not easy for divine beasts to become a top advanced Supreme God, let alone a supreme powerhouse. Even among divine beasts that are supreme powerhouses, there aren't any that are significantly strong. It's obvious that the divine beasts have limitations…'

'However, divine beasts without natural limitations aren't unprecedented in the history of the God Defying World, but they're as rare as a phoenix feather. However, they've not appeared for many years now. Rumors had it that this kind of divine beast is terrifying. Once they become an advanced Supreme God, they'll have the strength of a top advanced Supreme God even if their cultivation bases have yet to stabilize. It's as though this kind of divine beast is blessed by the heavens. Alas, such a divine beast hasn't been seen in nearly a million years. I wouldn't even know about this if I didn't come across this information in an ancient scroll in the Inner Palace faction,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his heart began to race in his chest.

The ancient scroll also contained the speculations of the Inner Palace faction's founder regarding divine beasts. His speculations were made based on his friend who was a divine beast. After attaining godhood, that divine beast could feel a small amount of energy slipping away from him when he cultivated. It seemed like this was a common occurrence among divine beasts after attaining godhood. It was like a natural restriction on them.

'Perhaps, the energy, which ordinary divine beasts lose, is being given to extraordinary divine beasts that only appear once in a million years to help them become terrifyingly powerful… This is also why ordinary divine beasts have a difficult time cultivating and almost impossible for them to become a top advanced Supreme God. The only way is if they comprehend one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Ordinary divine beasts capable of comprehending one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth will mostly become supreme powerhouses… It seems like the natural law in the God Defying World is the reason why ordinary divine beasts experience energy loss when cultivating and when the law they comprehend is about to reach the perfect form after they attain godhood… I have a feeling that this energy loss has something to do with the extraordinary and heaven-defying divine beasts as well. It's as though ordinary divine beasts are supplying the heaven-defying divine beast with energy after attaining godhood. Perhaps, the ancestor of the heaven-defying divine beast laid down this rule in the past to make sure the others don't go extinct. Even the strongest supreme powerhouse in the God Defying World now doesn't possess such strength and wisdom. I wonder if there's such a powerful supreme powerhouse in the powerful Worlds? If my speculation is right, the God Defying World had such a supreme powerhouse before. Perhaps, the ancestor of the heaven-defying divine beasts was one of the top supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds…'

Duan Ling Tian was rather doubtful when he read the speculations made by the founder of the Inner Palace faction until he learned of Huan'er's strange experience. If his assumption was right, based on Huan'er's experience, she was likely a rare heaven-defying divine beast.

'The founder of the Inner Palace faction mentioned that only divine beasts would only have such restrictions in the God Defying World. They wouldn't experience the restrictions in the Outer Boundary. However, even if they manage to become an advanced Supreme God in the Outer Boundary, they'll experience energy loss once they return to the God Defying World. The laws they comprehend would decline as well. It was as though divine beasts are cursed in the God Defying World.'

Duan Ling Tian was shocked that the speculations made by the founder of the Inner Palace faction might be true. Perhaps, the God Defying World once had an extremely powerful supreme powerhouse who laid down the law to provide energy for his or her kind, which would only appear once in a million years.
