Chapter 1210

This time, the Goddess of Life looked no different from last time.

Her face still bore a remarkably peaceful expression.

As a powerful primary deity who created the elf race, the Goddess of Life's appearance was naturally flawless.

Yet, what drew attention to her was not her appearance.

It was the unique aura she carried.

And her status.

She was a powerful primary deity.

Of course, Lin Yan would not stare at her for long.

After the Goddess of Life's will descended, she apparently hadn't expected Lin Yan to contact her so quickly; yet she did not ask why, but spoke in a calm tone:

"You killed the Great Dulong. Aside from me, other primary deities have already turned their gaze upon you."

Lin Yan had anticipated this.

The existence of the Ancient Gods was tacitly permitted by the primary deities.

They were the primary deities' knives.

After all, as primary deities of the Heavenly Realm, openly stepping forward to prevent the birth of a new Heavenly Realm primary deity… would seem unjustifiable.

If a Heavenly Realm primary deity personally intervened, that deity's authority among the gods of the Heavenly Realm would plummet, and this situation could even affect the Divine Continent, causing that deity's laws to weaken.

That deity's power would gradually decline.

After all, the other primary deities would not miss this chance to weaken him.

There was competition among the primary deities of the Heavenly Realm, though not as utterly opposed as between the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss.

And when Lin Yan killed the Great Dulong last time, the threat he displayed, though far from that of a primary deity, likely had already drawn the attention of some primary deities.

In truth, Lin Yan was somewhat curious about the dwelling places of the primary deities.

Yet Lin Yan would not waste questions on such trivial matters.

Because he still had one question left.

Although, last time, the Goddess of Life had actually answered him more than two questions.

This time, the Goddess of Life might still answer him more than one question.

But such trivial matters were still unnecessary to ask the Goddess of Life.

Lin Yan looked at the Goddess of Life and followed her words:

"Above the Great Dulong, there should be even stronger Five-Star Ancient Gods, right?"

This was a way of conversation, not a petty trick.

The Goddess of Life had intentionally revealed more information, so Lin Yan followed her words, naturally slipping into the rhythm of conversation.

This way, his final question would be delayed.

The Goddess of Life said: "Correct. Currently, hidden within the Heavenly Realm, there is one Five-Star Ancient God openly known, but there may well be another. Yet before you attempt to become a primary deity, they will not emerge."

In other words, there may now be two Five-Star Ancient Gods hidden within the Heavenly Realm!

Lin Yan said: "If I attempt to become a primary deity now, will any Heavenly Realm primary deity come to ambush me?"

Although Lin Yan's speculation suggested that no Heavenly Realm primary deity would personally come to ambush him, what if they did?

The Goddess of Life looked at Lin Yan, a faint hint of surprise in her gaze: "You plan to attempt becoming a primary deity now?"

As a primary deity who had lived countless years, the Goddess of Life rarely showed surprise—even emotional fluctuations were difficult for her.

This faint hint of surprise in her gaze, to any ordinary deity, would already equate to deep astonishment.

Lin Yan said: "I'm just asking. My mastery of the laws is still insufficient. If I reach full mastery, I might try."

Might try…

Lin Yan's words caused the Goddess of Life to glance at him again.

Then the Goddess of Life said: "Though attempting to become a primary deity is not a one-time chance, reckless attempts bring dire consequences."

Her tone was light.

There was no emotion in it.

Yet for a primary deity to say this to Lin Yan already implied a hint of concern.

After speaking, the Goddess of Life continued in a calm tone:

"If you attempt to become a primary deity soon, the Heavenly Realm primary deities likely won't act directly against you—but the primary deities of the Abyss and the Dark Abyss are another matter. Of course, becoming a primary deity occurs in stages; if the primary deities move, it will be only in the later stages."

"The first to strike against you will be some Law Lords, then the Ancient Gods, and some evil deities will also act. Before that, your Guodu Society will come under attack—some hidden entities within the Heavenly Realm, seeking to eliminate the threat entirely, will pull out all your teeth, leaving you with no chance whatsoever."

Lin Yan paused, then said: "Then, I'd like to ask about the steps to becoming a primary deity."
