Chapter 1052

As the Goddess of Eternal Night spoke, she bowed gracefully toward Lin Yan.

The motion looked particularly pleasing to the eye as she performed it.

A smile lingered at the corners of her eyes, yet her expression was unusually serious.

The Goddess of Eternal Night's way of speaking was to treat matters of great importance as if they were trivial.

After speaking, she gazed at Lin Yan with anticipation.

Lin Yan paused in thought.

Then he retrieved a Divine Pact from his system and handed it to the Goddess of Eternal Night.

Seeing Lin Yan's decisiveness, the Goddess of Eternal Night accepted the pact without hesitation and swallowed it.

The Divine Pact was successfully signed.

After signing, Lin Yan's Divine Pantheon now included six deities—all goddesses.

Though few in number, their strength was not weak.

The Goddess of Eternal Night was at the fourth tier; Vevila already possessed a 14th-level Divine Core and a 13th-level Divine Body.

Meiweisi had firmly stabilized at the third tier and was advancing toward a 12th-level Divine Core.

The other three elf goddesses, though still at the second tier, could reach the third tier soon.

As for Lin Yan himself, with sufficient Divine Power, he could rapidly ascend to a 17th-level Divine Core.

After successfully signing the pact with the Goddess of Eternal Night, Lin Yan placed her in the first sequence.

Side by side with Vevila.

Given Vevila's current progress, she would reach the peak of the third tier without much time.

However, it would not be easy for Vevila to reach the fourth tier.

The main issue was accumulation.

Vevila's accumulation was still too scarce.

Remember, Vevila was once merely a second-tier deity; her rapid advancement so far had consumed considerable resources.

The further ahead one goes, the more resources are required.

Moreover, breaking into the fourth tier demands an enormous amount of Divine Power.

Fortunately, this problem could be resolved with Divine Stones.

The faith energy within Divine Stones had been stripped of directional bias—any deity could use it upon acquisition.

When Vevila neared the fourth tier, Lin Yan would naturally assist this devoted and adorable goddess.

After this great battle, Lin Yan already possessed a considerable number of Divine Stones.

Moreover, Lin Yan's realm would multiply several times over, and the daily contribution of faith energy would be substantial.

Once the Radiant Tides receded and all deities returned to To the Heavenly Realm, they could once again sell Abyssal items upward to earn Divine Stones.

"Nina bows before the Divine Lord!"

After signing the pact, the Goddess of Eternal Night bowed gracefully once more.

Her title had quietly changed.

She was actually more lively than Tina; spend enough time with her, and you'd discover she had a playful side.

Of course, no other deity would ever see this side of her.

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

The Goddess of Eternal Night added: "Divine Lord, Nina observes that you have founded a great Divine Nation. May I merge my nation into yours?"

Lin Yan nodded and handed her a glowing orb, saying:

"This is the entrance to my Divine Nation. Vevila and Meiweisi will assist you in merging your nation. I intend to absorb this Law Fragment here."

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, the Goddess of Eternal Night was slightly startled: "Divine Lord, are you going to absorb it now?"

In the Goddess of Eternal Night's view, the Law Fragment was far too dangerous.

On the Continent of Deities, the number of rules was immense, and each rule system contained a main rule and numerous sub-rules.

But the number of Laws was far fewer.

Laws far surpassed rules in rank; the reason Primordial Deities were powerful was because they fully controlled a single Law.

With her current strength, touching the Law Fragment would inevitably result in backlash, meeting the same fate as the Dawn Star Divine Lord.

Even the Demon Soul Zunzhu would fare little better.

Hence, the Goddess of Eternal Night was genuinely concerned.

Lin Yan said: "No problem."

Around Lin Yan, flames erupted in roaring fury; the moment they appeared, they rapidly spread, soon completely surrounding the Law Fragment.

Lin Yan transformed into a flame form.

The Goddess of Eternal Night did not overthink it, but her lovely face betrayed concern.

After all, the Law Fragment was far too dangerous.

Though transformed into flame, Lin Yan did not act recklessly.

He carefully probed.

He sent a tendril of flame to pierce the strange energy surrounding the Law Fragment, severed its connection, then touched the Law Fragment.

Instantly, that tendril of flame shrank by many times its original size.

Yet it did not vanish.

The energy within was entirely consumed, but because the flame was Lin Yan's, possessing the property of unextinguishable fire, it was not destroyed by backlash—only reduced to the weakest form of unextinguishable fire.

This meant that even in flame form, Lin Yan would face no mortal danger upon touching it.

Lin Yan tested several more times and quickly understood.

The current situation is essentially the same as when he burned some rule fragments.

His flames can burn all things; rule fragments can be burned, and law fragments can be burned too.

All it consumes is energy points.

In other words, for Lin Yan, from now on, whenever he encounters something unknown, he need only light it on fire without hesitation—he'll know what it is!

By burning this law fragment, Lin Yan would also gain mastery over the law power contained within it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan no longer hesitated; he stirred his flames, pierced through beneath the strange energy layer, then began burning along one face of the law fragment!

Lin Yan was cautious and did not burn around the entire law fragment.

Instead, he started with just one face.

Energy points were consumed rapidly.

Merely burning one face consumed over a hundred million energy points per second!

This consumption was even more terrifying than when he had stretched a fire net with a diameter of a million kilometers across the sun!

Yet during this war, Lin Yan had burned countless Divine Lords, and most crucially, he had burned the Demon Soul Tianlan Zunzhu—his energy points had become extraordinarily vast.

Even with such terrifying consumption, Lin Yan could still bear it!

Lin Yan noticed that after he had stirred his flames and burned for several minutes, his panel had changed.

On the system's panel, a new line appeared:

【Law: Current Progress 0.001%】

This meant Lin Yan's guess was correct.
