Chapter 1348

The "seed of fire" is the same.

However, encryption methods vary in sophistication.

If a major god obtained a drop of first-tier divine power, they could fully decipher its secrets and prevent its self-destruction before it detonated.

But that would be meaningless.

To a major god, a first-tier god is like a tiny ant—blow once and it's gone; why bother struggling to crack the divine power of a first-tier god?

But the encryption of the "seed of fire"—not even the Goddess of Life, nor all the major gods combined, could crack its core secret before it self-destructed.

Thus, the Goddess of Life could not penetrate the deepest secrets of the "seed of fire."

She had no way of knowing how it could be created so rapidly, or how it evolved so swiftly.

The Goddess of Life never asked Lin Yan for a "seed of fire" to study.

This is Lin Yan's secret.

It does not diminish her astonishment.

Yet, the astonishment brought by the "seed of fire" was only the first aspect.

What truly surprised her was Lin Yan's method of creating the twin stars, and the shattered star between them!

When the Goddess of Life was born, the Heavenly Realm had already taken preliminary shape, and the Continent of Gods had likewise formed.

The starry sky at that time still existed.

But the Goddess of Life rarely ventured deep into the stars.

Because there were too many ancient gods in the stars.

She had witnessed countless stars being devoured by ancient gods and extinguished, with countless civilizations destroyed in an instant.

But after becoming a major god, the Goddess of Life had once entered the stars.

As a major god, the orbital patterns of stars held no great mystery for her.

She could even easily calculate the trajectory of a single star.

Thus, what truly astonished the Goddess of Life was Lin Yan's demonstration of profound understanding of the Life Principle in creating this twin star system!

The Goddess of Life was certain Lin Yan had not previously understood the Life Principle.

Unlike the Goddess of the Ocean, the Goddess of Life had paid attention to Lin Yan far earlier.

Even before other Heavenly Realm gods!

When the Sacred Flame Forest was fully cleared and the Tree of Life planted, the Goddess of Life had bestowed a blessing, causing the Tree of Life of the Sacred Flame Elf Empire to grow to two hundred meters.

Shortly after, Lin Yan and Weiweila, along with two Elf Goddesses, also bestowed blessings.

When bestowing these blessings, it was also a gift to the gods who bestowed them later.

The Goddess of Life generously granted the Life Principle; how much one gained depended on the god's own capacity.

At that time, Lin Yan fully activated his virtual godhood, pushing his understanding of the Life Principle from zero directly to 100%.

This naturally caught the Goddess of Life's attention.

It was precisely Lin Yan's rapid mastery of the Life Principle that made the Goddess of Life view him with new eyes.

The Life Principle differs from other principles.

Not every god can easily master the Life Principle.

Mastering the Life Principle requires profound understanding of life.

A murderous god finds it hard to master the Life Principle.

A god with an extreme temperament also finds it hard to master the Life Principle.

Even if they do master it, they struggle to reach deep mastery.

Generally, gods who control the Life Principle are relatively peaceful.

Of course, peaceful does not mean without temper.

This refers to the god's own philosophy.

Like Venerable Tianlan—the former Venerable Tianlan—cold, aloof, ruthless in action.

After mastering the Life Principle, Venerable Tianlan's personality changed dramatically.

Of course, her personality shift was also tied to her severe injuries.

This also illustrates how rare the Life Principle is.

But Lin Yan had directly pushed his mastery of the Life Principle to 100% back then.

The Goddess of Life thus took notice of Lin Yan.

She naturally did not constantly focus on Lin Yan, but she knew of his aid to the elves and many of his deeds after entering the Heavenly Realm.

Otherwise, why would a major god have presented He Li at Lin Yan's fourth-tier celebration?

And why would she show him such trust?

This trust stemmed from the power she controlled.

After Lin Yan's celebration, through the mark she left behind and their communication, Lin Yan received a trace of Life Principle power she had gifted him.

The Goddess of Life could almost certainly say that at that time, Lin Yan had not yet encountered the Life Principle.

But…

How much time had passed? Lin Yan's current understanding of the Life Principle was already terrifying!

That was at least 50% mastery!

This far exceeded the Goddess of Life's expectations!

Even a major god could not possibly raise their mastery of the Life Principle from zero to over 50% in such a short time!

If the Life Principle were so easy to master, the Goddess of Life would not have spent tens of thousands of years to become a major god.

At this moment, the Goddess of Life's heart was filled with profound astonishment.

Her beautiful eyes scanned Lin Yan, as if trying to see through him.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yan finally spoke, asking.

The Goddess of Life then withdrew her gaze and said, "Nothing, continue!"

Lin Yan nodded and, through the divine system, delivered a divine decree to Vevila and the Goddess of Eternal Night, far away in the Fear Within the Heavenly Realm.

In Lin Yan's divine realm, female divine spirits and little fairies constantly prayed to him.

Not only in his divine realm, but even across the Continent of Gods, within his domain, devout followers of the Qianchengde Sect prayed constantly.

Even in the Abyss, within the Succubus Dynasty, succubi prayed without cease.

This was to allow Lin Yan to open the threads of faith at any moment.

But this time, it was a large-scale operation, requiring the Goddess of Eternal Night and Vevila to first empower their subordinate female divine spirits and little fairies.

Not all divine spirits were strong.

Some divine spirits, even in the Fear Within the Heavenly Realm, were only equivalent in power to legendary-level beings on the Continent of Gods.

Now, the strength of the laws in the Dark Starry Sky was inferior to that of the Continent of Gods.

Legendary-level power could certainly allow survival in the Dark Starry Sky, but it was far from enough to accomplish what Lin Yan required.

In Lin Yan's divine realm, Vevila and the Goddess of Eternal Night received Lin Yan's divine decree and began gathering the divine spirits.

Other fairy goddesses also sent forth their most capable little fairies.

The first batch of divine spirits and little fairies arrived quickly.

There were exactly one hundred.

Led by Timothy, former captain of the Goddess of Eternal Night's divine spirits.

The power of these divine spirits and little fairies was raised to the level of first-tier deities.

"Timothy, if you encounter danger, pray to my Lord immediately."

The Goddess of Eternal Night instructed Timothy.

Timothy said, "Don't worry, Goddess!"

The Goddess of Eternal Night nodded and said, "Begin!"

Timothy began to pray.

As she prayed, Lin Yan sensed a thread of faith within the Dark Starry Sky.

The threads of faith were truly miraculous.

Unless powerfully blocked, they could be sensed no matter how far away.

Of course, at such a great distance, the thread of faith was extremely faint.

If it were an ordinary person's prayer, even Lin Yan would need to expend some energy to perceive the thread of faith from such a distance.
