Chapter 241: Deity Avatar

Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

According to Soul Ink, the strongest of the Fire Nether Divine Beasts was only equivalent to the weakest of Deities. Compared to the vast Human Race, they were indeed incredibly weak.

A human who developed normally, one with the highest Talent comparable to the Dragon Scale Race, could easily become a Lord of the Starry Sky.

Beyond Lords of the Starry Sky were Lords of the World. The Talent of even the most powerful branches of the Human Race couldn’t compare to that of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon or the Thunder Star Beast, let alone the Fire Nether Divine Beast, which was born as a Deity.

In terms of life’s fundamental hierarchy, one could say the Human Race held no particular advantage. In fact, they could even be considered quite ordinary.

But the Human Race as a whole had countless powerful Deities, and numerous experts at the Emperor Level.

The Three Thousand Star Continent—if each Star Continent had one Emperor, that would be three thousand Emperors!

Even within the Divine Realm, the strongest Deities could instantly kill weaker ones. And when an Emperor Level expert killed Deities? They could probably wipe out a huge number with a casual wave of their hand.

The Human Race would only need to dispatch a few Emperors to likely sweep through the entire Fire Nether Divine Beast race, despite their high level of life.

"Not only that, but the reproduction of the Fire Nether Divine Beasts is also incredibly difficult. Their entire population isn’t very large."

Soul Ink sighed. "The Cosmos is fair; there are gains and losses. Fire Nether Divine Beasts are born as Deities with eternal lifespans, but their growth is also fixed. It’s almost impossible for them to take another step forward within the Divine Realm. Coupled with their difficult reproduction and small numbers, who knows how many races in the Cosmos are stronger than they are."

Difficult reproduction meant a small population. Not only were they few in number, but almost all of them were the weakest type of Deities.

A race like that could never truly become powerful.

Li Yang was shocked. He now understood the meaning behind the phrase, ’The Cosmos is fair.’

Born as Deities... a Talent all Cultivators would envy, truly the darlings of the heavens. But to be born at one’s peak potential meant this powerful Talent also came with a huge restriction.

There are always gains and losses.

If given the choice, most races would surely not choose a path like that of the Fire Nether Divine Beasts.

Li Yang watched silently for a moment, then suddenly clicked ’Purchase.’

"Li Yang, what are you buying this for? You aren’t comprehending the Fire Element Law," Soul Ink asked, a little confused by the scene.

The skin fragment of a Fire Nether Divine Beast was beneficial for comprehending the Fire Element Law, just as the blood of a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon was beneficial for comprehending the Space Law.

However, the Fire Nether Divine Beast skin fragment was only useful to those who were comprehending the Fire Element Law.

As far as Soul Ink was concerned, Li Yang buying this was a complete waste, since he wasn’t comprehending the Fire Element Law.

"Just a little interested," Li Yang said with a smile, not elaborating further.

But inside, Li Yang’s mind was racing with thoughts.

’I’m about to break through to the Longevity Realm. I wonder if the World Tree can create another avatar?’

Before, when he broke through to the Spirit Awakening Realm, the World Tree created a Thunder Star Beast avatar. When he broke through to the Law Realm, it created a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar. These were all created after his breakthroughs.

Soul Ink had always believed his World Tree had mutated.

But Li Yang knew this change was because the World Tree had practiced the Cultivation Technique from the mysterious small sword in his mind.

’Following this pattern, will the same thing happen after I break through to the Longevity Realm?’

’And if the World Tree could even create a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, a being that naturally masters three profundities of the Space Law, could it also create... a Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar?’

That’s right. A stunning idea had just formed in Li Yang’s mind.

A Fire Nether Divine Beast, born a Deity. If he had an avatar like that, he wouldn’t even need to cultivate. He could just eat and drink, and he would naturally and easily become a powerful Deity.

The Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon... although its level of life was high, of the four profundities of Space Law, it could only easily master three. It still had to comprehend the final profundity on its own.

Li Yang had asked Soul Ink about this before. Even a creature as strong as the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon had members who got stuck at the final step, unable to break through to the Divine Realm.

But if he created a Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar, none of that would be a problem.

Of course, Li Yang’s idea was a bit fantastical at the moment. He faced two difficulties.

First, after he broke through to the Longevity Realm, would the World Tree be able to create another avatar?

The World Tree had already created the octopus avatar, the Thunder Star Beast avatar, and the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar. If it created another, that would be the fourth one.

Second, could a Fire Nether Divine Beast even be created?

An avatar that was a natural-born Deity... just the thought of it was incredible!

But Li Yang had to try, just as he had experimented with creating the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar.

What if he actually managed to create this Deity avatar?

It only cost a small amount of contribution points, which was nothing to Li Yang.

Even if the creation failed, he wouldn’t have lost much.

He continued searching, but aside from the Fire Nether Divine Beast, there were no other natural-born Deity corpses in the Yangyuan Empire’s resource vault.

Li Yang temporarily lowered his sights and searched for other life forms.

"Flame Bird: Naturally comprehends three profundities of the Fire Element Law. Contribution points required..."

"Ice Python: Naturally comprehends three profundities of the Water Element Law. Contribution points required..."

A list of information appeared.

The Flame Bird and the Ice Python—the level of life for these two creatures was no less than that of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon!

If the World Tree really could create another avatar, even if it failed to create a natural-born Deity like the Fire Nether Divine Beast, Li Yang would definitely create a different one.

In that case, searching for a life form on the same level as the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon was definitely the best option.

The World Tree could most certainly create this type of life form.

Li Yang took a look and exchanged his points for the blood of the Flame Bird.

’If the World Tree can create a fourth avatar, my first choice is the Fire Nether Divine Beast. If that fails, my second choice is the Flame Bird,’ Li Yang decided internally.

He quickly made up his mind.

After making the exchange, Li Yang thought for a moment and began searching the resource vault again, as if looking for something specific.

"Found it!" A few seconds later, an incredibly excited look suddenly appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.

"Law Key: Can help a Cultivator at the Peak of Spiritual Awakening Realm forcibly break through to the Law Realm. Requires 50,000 contribution points to exchange."

In the path of cultivation, one must comprehend laws to continuously break through and advance. With enough resources, one could quickly reach the Peak of Spiritual Awakening Realm, which was equivalent to the Peak of King Level on Earth.

After reaching this step, the next realm was the Law Realm.

Advancing further was extremely difficult. On Earth, only Li Yang and Shen Xuan had broken through to the Law Realm.

This step required comprehending a law. Those without the Talent for it would be trapped at this realm for their entire lives.

However, nothing was absolute.

With enough resources, it was still possible to force a breakthrough! And this Law Key was exactly what could help someone at the Peak of Spiritual Awakening Realm forcibly break through to the Law Realm!
