Chapter 1226

The sprite Gashia went down.

With this Seacore Herb obtained, Lin Yan's Level 20 Divine Body can now officially upgrade.

Upgrading the Level 20 Divine Body won't take long; with time to stabilize, it'll be at most a few days.

"Clairece, how prepared are you?"

Lin Yan asked the Goddess of Light, Clairece.

The Goddess of Light said: "My Venerable, Clairece is ready."

Lin Yan nodded and said to Clairece: "Good, three days from now, begin your assault on the Fourth Tier!"

Clairece said: "Yes, Venerable!"

The Goddess of Light, Clairece, departed to make her final preparations.

It was also time for her to assault the Fourth Tier.

This time, Lin Yan would let Clairece assault the Fourth Tier first, then he himself would immediately pretend to assault the Primordial Deity level, triggering a disturbance at the Law level.

When that happened, both the Rule level and the Law level would shake together—Heaven would become incredibly lively!

I'm afraid that any Lord of Laws who is hostile toward Lin Yan and believes their strength is enough to exchange a blow or two with him will likely be unable to resist the temptation.

And this time, among the Ocean Deities, that Seven Seas Master's inexplicable hostility—rather than fearing it, Lin Yan saw it as an unexpected gain.

Lin Yan even looked forward to it.

That Seven Seas Master would come out to ambush him.

Lin Yan soon learned the Seven Seas Master's identity through Venerable Tianlan.

The Seven Seas Master's name was simple: Kao. But in Heaven's oceans, one must never speak his name directly.

Whoever spoke his name aloud would immediately be known to him, and then he could cast his gaze downward, learning everything that deity spoke with others.

Of course, within Heaven itself, it made no difference.

"The Seven Seas Master's power is extremely strong. He has mastered both Water Law and Lightning Law to over 90%, and Water Law may even be at 99% or higher. He has existed for an immensely long time and is the sovereign of all Heaven's oceans, with countless deities obeying his commands."

In the Divine Power space, Venerable Tianlan looked at Lin Yan and said.

"Water Law and Lightning Law—the two Laws the Seven Seas Master controls—are already under masters. Does he control any other Laws?"

Lin Yan asked.

Venerable Tianlan said: "I don't know. But most Ocean Deities master these two Laws. Shortly after I became a Law Lord, I once overheard a rumor."

Lin Yan said: "What rumor?"

Venerable Tianlan's bright eyes turned to Lin Yan and said:

"There is a rumor that the Seven Seas Master deliberately focuses on Water and Lightning Laws to take charge of the entire ocean on behalf of the Ocean Goddess—both Heaven's oceans and the Divine Continent's oceans. And the reason he chose to do this is very simple."

She paused, then said: "He is the Ocean Goddess's suitor!"

"Suitor? To a Primordial Deity?"

Lin Yan asked.

Venerable Tianlan said: "Yes. In this world, there are always those who overestimate themselves without realizing it. The Ocean Goddess has never responded at all—she likely has never even seen him. But she also never showed any dislike or affection. In my view, she probably didn't even give it a second thought."

"A swan flies across the sky; thousands of toads want to eat its flesh, yet the swan never lowers its head to look at a single toad. Still, I'm curious—why has the Seven Seas Master suddenly created obstacles for you, when you two have no conflict?"
