Chapter 479: The Beginning of the Divine Power Path

“It’s already at the limit!”

Looking at the figure three hundred kilometers tall hovering above the Infinite Sea, Lu Qing silently thought.

Over the past month and more, Lu Qing had tried repeatedly, yet could never create a divine body with a higher life-gene level.

Moreover, before this figure dissipated, he could not create another new one.

“It seems this ‘Creation’ technique still has flaws!”

Lu Qing silently thought: “But this isn’t because I haven’t fully comprehended the Nine You Lord’s innate technique—it’s because the ‘Creation’ technique itself has this limitation!”

After all, in the original novel, the Nine You Lord could only cultivate one divine body with a relatively low life-gene level.

Only after that divine body completely vanished could he cultivate a new one.

But this is perfectly normal!

If the Nine You Lord could create himself without any restrictions—even just low-level life-gene clones—his vast divine power alone would allow him to spawn countless powerful clones with fifth-rank strength in the Original Universe.

If that were true, not just in the Original Universe, but even in the Cosmic Sea, the Nine You Lord would be utterly invincible.

Yet the Original Universe’s primordial will and supreme laws would never permit such a thing.

Since Lu Qing learned the ‘Creation’ technique from the Nine You Lord, he naturally suffers the same restrictions.

In fact, even in the original novel, when Luo Feng raised his life-gene level tens of thousands of times, he still couldn’t cultivate a second Nine You Clone before the first one vanished.

“But with this new clone, things will be much easier from now on!” Lu Qing silently thought.

When he was weaker, his goals were fewer; having his main battle clone and second clone act together was enough.

Now that his strength keeps growing, his goals keep multiplying: refining his will in the Black Rune Pillar space, exploring the Cosmic Sea for opportunities, cultivating in the Original Universe, assisting the expansion of the Infinite Sea clone…

Just having his main battle body and second clone split up can no longer handle all these tasks simultaneously.

Now, with this new clone added—even if its life-gene level is weaker—it’s still quite good.

After all, the clones created by the Nine You Lord also weren’t very high in life-gene level, yet still could unleash fifth-rank power.

“Next, I need to find a way to raise the life-gene level of the Infinite Sea clone!”

Lu Qing silently thought: “But since I create clones using my main battle body as the template, this new clone reached a thousandfold life-gene level. How do I now raise the Infinite Sea clone’s life-gene level?”

Thinking of this, Lu Qing faced a difficult problem.

After all, this is something the Nine You Lord never experienced—he couldn’t possibly accomplish it quickly.

Fortunately, Lu Qing is still under the Enlightenment Boost function, so he quickly devised a plan: keep casting the ‘Creation’ technique repeatedly.

Huh!

Inside the Infinite Sea clone, a vacuum zone quickly formed, now entirely immersed in a peculiar domain—the natural field carried by the ‘Creation’ technique, capable of rapidly analyzing all matter within to grasp their most fundamental life-source.

Create! Analyze!

Create! Analyze!

Lu Qing continuously cast the ‘Creation’ technique, continuously analyzing.

But he wasn’t analyzing other lifeforms or matter—he was analyzing the third clone he had just created, with a thousandfold life-gene level.

Thus…

As time passed, Lu Qing continuously dissected the third clone’s life essence.

After half a year, everything lay bare before Lu Qing.

In truth, Lu Qing had already fully comprehended the life essence of this third clone the moment he created it.

But this third clone’s life essence primarily originated from his main battle body and second clone, still differing somewhat from the Infinite Sea clone, whose life-gene level was only onefold.

Now, Lu Qing’s goal was to identify the structural differences between this third clone and the Infinite Sea clone, then use that as a foundation to alter the Infinite Sea clone’s life structure and elevate its life-gene level!

While casting the ‘Creation’ technique, the Infinite Sea clone also diverted part of its divine power to experiment.

“Divine power, decompose!”

Splash!

A portion of seawater immediately decomposed into purest divine power.

“Life, restructure!”

As Lu Qing willed it, the life structure within these pure divine powers was artificially manipulated—just as life-gene levels had once been altered by treasures like Blood Luo Crystals, yet far more mysterious!

Boom!

As the divine power exploded violently, it coalesced again, reforming into its original seawater form.

Divine power restructuring failed!

But Lu Qing wasn’t discouraged—he immediately began another attempt.

“Failure!”

“Failure!”

“Restructuring failed!”

Lu Qing tried again and again, each time meeting failure.

But this was normal—such a feat was difficult even for the Law Lords of the Origin Continent, let alone the Cosmic Sea’s universe lords without any lineage.

Though Lu Qing had some insight from knowing the original novel, he too lacked any true lineage guidance; walking this path was inevitably excruciatingly hard.

Fortunately, his comprehension had been enhanced by the Chat Group’s Enlightenment Boost, making it unparalleled even among universe lords—no genius on the Origin Continent could match him.

Without lineage guidance, he would forge his own path.

Thus, through countless failures, Lu Qing accumulated more and more experience.

Time flowed on, and another three months passed in the blink of an eye.

“I feel it—I’m getting closer to success!”

Lu Qing silently thought: “This time, I’ll succeed!”

“Life, restructure!”

Under Lu Qing’s control, a portion of the Infinite Sea clone’s divine power underwent a stunning transformation, its most fundamental structure shifting.

Hum!

With a strange vibration, everything finally ceased.

Lu Qing now felt a faint sense of dissonance—as if the Infinite Sea clone had been split into two distinct parts.

“Success?”

Lu Qing quickly turned his gaze to the source of this dissonance—the newly restructured portion of divine power, now completely stabilized.

After all, if life restructuring had failed, these divine powers would have instantly decomposed and reverted; only stable existence could signify success.

“Divine power level…”

Lu Qing sensed briefly, then discovered this portion of divine power now had a life-gene level twenty times that of ordinary life in the Original Universe.

“Twentyfold life-gene level?”

Seeing this modest life-gene level, Lu Qing’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

After all, this wasn’t achieved through precious resources like Blood Luo Crystals, nor through the ‘Creation’ technique’s third clone—it was a life restructuring template he had truly mastered himself.

That meant, if Lu Qing wished, he could instantly restructure the life-gene level of all his clones—including his main battle body, second clone, and Infinite Sea clone—to this twentyfold template.

Of course, since his main battle body and second clone already had ten-thousandfold life-gene levels, he wouldn’t make such a foolish trade.
