Chapter 1190

The gloomy Divine Lords were not alone; other Divine Lords were equally gloomy.

"Have you noticed? In the Heavenly Realm, no fourth-tier being has emerged in thousands of years—but this year, three fourth-tier beings have appeared all at once, and all three are connected to the Flame Lord."

One deity said.

"Indeed, that's true…"

Another deity said.

"Do you think the Flame Lord might become a Supreme Deity?"

Another deity said.

"There's some possibility, but it's said the Five-Star Ancient Gods are nearly at the peak of Ancient Godhood, and besides, the Abyss and the Dark Abyss won't sit idly by while the Flame Lord attempts to ascend to Supreme Deity—when the time comes, the ambush against him will be terrifying."

"Hmm, but if the Flame Lord was previously wounded and fell into slumber due to an ambush, wouldn't he have made thorough preparations before attempting this time?"

"…"

In the Elven Divine Realm, many deities were discussing among themselves.

"Master, I've succeeded!"

In Lin Yan's divine realm, Weiweila's body radiated dazzling brilliance!

Now, she looked even more radiant than before.

A brilliant smile spread across her face.

Weiweila's heart was filled with joy.

She gazed at Lin Yan with loving eyes—this adorable goddess, who had always adored Lin Yan, had finally achieved a tremendous leap in power!

Lin Yan reached out and patted Weiweila's small head.

This gesture filled Weiweila with delight.

"Weiweila, congratulations. You're amazing."

Lin Yan said.

Weiweila truly was amazing and hardworking; although her advancement was accomplished with Lin Yan's help, it was inseparable from her own efforts.

Otherwise, she could never have succeeded in such a short time!

Weiweila dared not take credit and hurriedly said: "Master, this is all your achievement."

Lin Yan said: "Enough, Weiweila. Quickly consolidate your new power."

"Mm!"

Weiweila nodded obediently, looking utterly docile.

The Goddess of Eternal Night, Meiweis, and the others were also happy for Weiweila.

After a brief conversation with the Goddess of Eternal Night, Lin Yan returned to his residence atop his divine realm.

There stood a palace complex made entirely of Bai Yun.

Here too was Lin Yan's Wang Zuo.

A Wang Zuo woven from countless rules.

He entered the depths of the palace and pulled out that sliver of temporal power.

Yes, Lin Yan intended to burn this sliver of temporal power and see what he might gain.

Immediately, Lin Yan assumed his flame form.

Flames consumed the sliver of temporal power.

As Lin Yan had expected, just as when he burned the Law Fragments before, his energy points were draining violently.

And the rate of energy point consumption was even greater than when burning the Law Fragments!

Time, indeed, was a forbidden, untouchable force!

But for Lin Yan, no matter how great the energy point cost, as long as it could be burned, he feared no expenditure!

One second, two seconds… ten seconds… thirty seconds!

After a full half-minute, Lin Yan had consumed over ten billion energy points.

His energy point consumption per second exceeded three hundred million!

Finally, that sliver of temporal power was slightly diminished.

"It's working!"

Lin Yan perked up and continued burning.

Time continued to pass, and energy points drained at a terrifying rate.

The stronger one becomes, the higher the level one reaches.

Back when Lin Yan first transmigrated, he burned the Divine Ruins for three whole days and nights just to gain a few hundred thousand energy points!

Now, his consumption per second reached the "billion" level.

He was already more than a billion times stronger than when he first transmigrated!

Time continued to pass.

Soon, ten minutes passed.

Then, an hour.

Then, a full day!

During this day, due to Weiweila's successful ascent to the fourth tier, numerous deities had once again arrived in the Elven Divine Realm.

And even more deities continued to discuss Lin Yan's battle with Duolong Dazun.

The impact of Lin Yan's battle with Duolong Dazun was immense.

This battle made all deities in the Heavenly Realm fully aware of the threat and power of the Ancient Gods.

Many deities placed great hope in Lin Yan, wishing he could slay more Ancient Gods.

But after the fall of the Great Dragon Primordial, the other ancient gods remained utterly still.

They had completely gone into hiding.

But do not think they would give up so easily.

These ancient gods are mostly lurking in the shadows, waiting for Daizheji Society, then striking Lin Yan with a fatal blow at the right moment!

To many heavenly deities, that moment would be when Lin Yan attempts to ascend to Primordial Godhood!

Thus, in the Heavenly Realm today, many deities are watching, wondering when the Flame Lord will attempt to ascend to Primordial Godhood.

Some deities believe it will take at least several hundred or even a thousand years.

In the timescale of deities, several hundred or a thousand years is not long at all.

Especially in the timescale of some powerful deities.

Yet others believe that since the Flame Lord's progress is so terrifying, he must once have been an ancient deity who previously attempted Primordial Godhood—so this time, with his return, he might achieve Primordial Godhood within just a few decades!

Yes, even though these deities have already elevated Lin Yan to unimaginable heights, they still believe he will take at least several decades to attempt Primordial Godhood!

Even this argument was enough to make most deities doubt.

After all, since the Nine Primordial Gods were born, not a single Primordial God has emerged in countless ages.

In ancient times, countless brilliant Law Lords failed to succeed.

Many Law Lords have gone into hiding, waiting countless years for the right moment.

In fact, it is not only ordinary deities who are watching.

Many Law Lords hidden within the Heavenly Realm have also turned their gaze toward this battle.

Originally, some ancient and powerful Law Lords had not noticed Lin Yan.

Even after Lin Yan killed two ancient gods at the celebration, some ancient Law Lords still had no interest in him.

Just two one-star ancient gods!

Though one-star ancient gods are powerful, they are still vastly inferior to Law Lords who command the Laws.

But this time, Lin Yan first killed a two-and-a-half-star ancient god, then later slew a four-star Primordial Lord.

This power is now sufficient to draw serious attention.

Some Law Lords were merely curious; others felt threatened—but none of them took any action.

Undoubtedly, the name "Flame Lord" has now spread across more than half of the Heavenly Realm.

Yet the number of Lin Yan's potential enemies has also risen!

These enemies are not those Lin Yan has provoked, nor those who have provoked him.

They are enemies solely because of the struggle for the path!

The path to Primordial Godhood!

The path is too narrow; everyone wants to walk it—so only the bold shall prevail when paths cross!
