Chapter 1316

"The Lord of Flames should have returned to Shenguoye Society."

A god saw this scene and affirmed, "Yes."

"Yes, definitely!"

Another god said.

More and more gods descended; within a short time, nearly all the gods had come from the distant dark starry sky into the Elven Divine Realm.

As for the Lords of Law, they had arrived long ago.

Yet, a great many Lords of Law remained hidden.

All these Lords of Law were now watching Lin Yan.

If Lin Yan truly became a Main God, it would mean far too much to these Lords of Law.

It meant their chance had finally come, completely and irrevocably.

"Has the Main God also cast down his gaze?"

The ancient Lord of Law thought.

But at his level, he could not perceive the Main God's gaze with certainty.

Yet he was almost certain that the Nine Main Gods of the Great Heavenly Realm had all cast their gazes down, watching all of this.

After all, three Main Gods of the Great Heavenly Realm had already acted before.

The other six Main Gods—whether from the Zhongli Sect or the opposition—must surely be observing the development of events!

"Let's see if the Lord of Flames can take that final step!"

The ancient Lord of Law thought.

"All obstacles have been cleared; without interference, this final step is relatively easy."

The ancient Lord of Law thought again.

The hardest parts of challenging for Main Godhood are: first, leaving a soul imprint upon the Law; second, balancing the Law's backlash; third, fending off attacks from other Lords of Law, ancient gods, and Abyssal Main Gods.

The third is the hardest of the hard.

In past eras, countless brilliant Lords of Law failed at this step.

But if there is no interference, this final step is not difficult at all.

After leaving a soul imprint, shaping the Main God's Form and Body, and surviving the Law's backlash, only one final step remains: weaving the Throne from Law and ascending to the position of Main God.

Once Lin Yan ascends to Main Godhood, his Shenguoye Society will vanish from the Great Heavenly Realm.

A Main God's Shenguoye Society is neither within the Great Heavenly Realm nor outside it—it resides at the highest pinnacle of the Great Heavenly Realm, overlooking the entire realm.

More accurately, it overlooks the entire world!

A Main God stands above all; this "above all" refers not merely to power or mindset, but to actual position.

All the gods in the Elven Divine Realm waited.

Even the Main God might be waiting.

After brief exchanges, the gods fell silent and waited.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, half a day passed.

Within Lin Yan's Shenguoye Society, aside from the ongoing tremors on the level of Law, there was no other movement.

Soon, another half day passed.

Within Lin Yan's Shenguoye Society, there was still no other movement.

Soon, another full day passed.

Within Lin Yan's Shenguoye Society, there was still… silence as before!

Soon, another full day passed.

Three days had already passed!

"Why hasn't he succeeded yet?"

The ancient Lord of Law finally had his doubt!

Given Lin Yan's demonstrated strength, the final step should not require three days to complete!

It was no wonder the ancient Lord of Law had such a doubt.

"With the Lord of Flames' power, the final step is absurdly simple. All he needs to do now is complete it as fast as possible, become Main God, and let everything be settled! What is he dragging his feet for?"

The ancient Lord of Law was deeply perplexed.

Not only perplexed, he was also anxious for Lin Yan.

In his view, Lin Yan's Most Important Now was four words: let it be settled!

As long as Lin Yan completed the final step and became Main God, everything would be fine.

But dragging it out gave him a sense that the longer it took, the more trouble might arise!

In comparison, other Lords of Law who did not fully understand the final step of challenging Main Godhood were not so anxious.

As for other gods, who didn't even fully understand the steps to challenge Main Godhood, they were even less anxious.

Under these circumstances, all these gods waited in silence.

Soon, another three days passed.

Now, six full days had passed.

"Six days! What is the Lord of Flames doing?"

The ancient Lord of Law grew even more anxious.

This was the classic case of the Emperor not worrying but the eunuch fretting.

Then he saw a brilliant passage open in the sky.

From this brilliant passage, a beam of white light suddenly shone down.

Immediately, an aura far surpassing that of a Law Lord emerged.

"Huh? The aura of a Primordial Deity! The Flame Lord held out for six days—looks like the Primordial Deity supporting him can't hold back any longer!"

The ancient Law Lord thought.

Other deities also sensed it.

"That's the aura of the Goddess of Life!"

One deity suddenly said.

The last time, during Lin Yan's celebration, the Goddess of Life opened a passage and sent him several gifts.

Some deities present remembered the aura of the Goddess of Life's divine realm when she opened the passage.

Instantly, numerous deities perked up and turned their gazes toward it.

They saw the white light strike Lin Yan's divine realm, as if exchanging something with him.

Then, the white light retracted and vanished completely.

The watching deities, unaware of what had happened, stretched their necks toward Lin Yan's divine realm, each heart filled with curiosity.

Unfortunately, they were destined never to know what had occurred.

While the deities outside grew desperate with curiosity, two women had already appeared within Lin Yan's divine realm.

One of them wore a white long dress, appearing serene and gentle.

She was none other than the Goddess of Life whom Lin Yan had met before.

The current Goddess of Life looked no different from the one Lin Yan had seen last time.

Yet the difference was immense.

Lin Yan suddenly realized that this time, the Goddess of Life had descended in her true form!

But she had restrained all her power and all her aura; otherwise, the true form of a Primordial Deity descending would have caused massive tremors within a divine realm.

She might even have overturned a layer of the divine realm.

The other woman wore a dark robe; her expression was icy-cold, and her elemental affinity clearly leaned toward chilling, yin energy.

This woman had not descended in her true form.

She was merely a projection of will.

"She is the Goddess of the Ocean!"

The Goddess of Life gave a simple introduction.

The Goddess of the Ocean!

Lin Yan gave the Goddess of the Ocean a slight nod and did not ask her purpose.

Because Lin Yan had roughly guessed their intent—and he also suspected the Goddess of Life would explain it herself.
