Chapter 641

In Lin Yan's flames, a small blank region appeared.

Within this small blank region, many substances continuously emerged.

Soil, plants, air, iron, copper, even… gold.

If someone saw this scene, they would likely use a proverb to describe it:

Creation from nothing!

Yes, creation from nothing!

Generating these substances out of thin air looks utterly inconsistent with the law of conservation of energy.

But the law of conservation of energy is a law from the world Lin Yan came from before his transmigration.

On the Continent of Gods, the Law of Balance is an extremely powerful law, and also the most fundamental law hidden beneath all others.

The deeper a law is hidden, the more powerful it usually is, capable of influencing nearly all other laws.

Among the branches of the Law of Balance, there is also a rule of conservation.

But this conservation is not simple energy conservation.

It involves conservation across multiple levels: matter and energy, and even soul, spirit, and more.

That is, these substances appear before Lin Yan as if created from nothing, out of thin air.

But in reality, Lin Yan is consuming something.

In this magic-filled world, such consumption is sometimes disproportionate and need not be proportional at all.

I can expend 1 point of energy to generate 100 points of matter, with no reason required.

Laws like these can be directly broken here, as long as you are powerful enough.

Enough with delving into deeper mechanisms.

In short, this is a method of transforming matter and energy.

All of these are directly transformed by Lin Yan's divine power.

But such transformations are sometimes worthwhile, sometimes not.

For instance, transforming divine power into water is quite worthwhile if that water serves a great purpose.

But transforming it into gold, iron, or similar materials is not worthwhile.

Divine power is so precious—why waste it turning into things that are everywhere on the Continent of Gods? Is he that bored?

As a god, he doesn't need to perform magic tricks like some naive boy to impress girls.

"No, it's not absolutely omnipotent."

Lin Yan added.

Because this transformation has one crucial prerequisite.

It cannot be done casually; Lin Yan must master the corresponding rules to accomplish the transformation.

And most transformations cannot be achieved with just one or two rules.

They require many rules intertwined to succeed.

This does not require Lin Yan to master any rule to 100%.

As long as he can access and understand them, it's enough.

Of course, if he reaches 100% mastery, the transformation speed increases dramatically and consumption decreases.

For example, Lin Yan's method of creating an oasis involves over eight rules: Life, Space, Earth, Nature, and others.

Without mastering these rules, or if he lacks some, he cannot accomplish such feats out of nothing.

He could only bring plant seeds from elsewhere, scatter them in the desert, then directly unleash divine power to achieve this miracle.

But in terms of sophistication, that method falls far behind.

Lin Yan kept experimenting with transformations.

He could transform many substances: rock, water, ice, air, iron, copper, gold, silver, even light.

Yet many things still could not be transformed.

For instance, some rare metals and substances.

For instance, a living being.

And most crucially, divine substances.

Or rather, demonic substances.

The more solid and complex a thing is, the greater the divine power required for transformation.

And what gods truly need, perhaps only about 1% can be directly transformed by divine power…

Moreover, once transformed, it is extremely difficult to convert the generated substance back into divine power.

But it can be converted into other forms of energy.

"That makes sense—nothing's that simple."

Lin Yan thought.

If divine power could truly transform anything, then divine power alone would suffice—why would gods bother gathering treasures and forging their divine bodies?

But for Lin Yan, the significance of matter-energy transformation remains immense.

Because it means Lin Yan can now forge his own divine body.

Without knowing this secret, how could Lin Yan's flame form—energy—and his divine body form—matter—possibly transform into each other?

After all, only one form can exist at a time!

"The divine bodies of celestial gods are flesh and blood; the divine bodies of demonic gods are almost always fused with divine substances, becoming complete war machines."

Lin Yan compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two divine body types.

In the end, Lin Yan still decided to choose the celestial god's divine body method.

Of his two forms, the flame form was the strongest, so Lin Yan did not need to turn his divine body into a thoroughbred combat machine.

He was not a true Abyss Demon God, after all.

But the Linyan Society would borrow some of the merits from the Abyss Demon God's divine body, making his divine body even more powerful.

"During my transmigration, my original body merged with a mysterious cosmic energy and turned into a ball of flame. Isn't that a kind of conversion between matter and energy?"

Lin Yan murmured to himself.

"Then let's reverse-engineer it."

Lin Yan began to drive his Divine Spark and carried out the reverse deduction.

Under this reverse deduction, Lin Yan quickly grasped the key.

When he transmigrated, his original body had not actually been destroyed.

Instead, after merging with the mysterious cosmic energy, it converted from matter into energy, becoming a flame form!

And after completing the conversion, this mysterious cosmic energy merged with Lin Yan's consciousness, forming the system he now had, one entirely at Lin Yan's disposal.

This system was merely a mechanical one, with no system sprite, no system consciousness of any kind.

With this reverse deduction, Lin Yan quickly found the key.

"Transform!"

Lin Yan whispered.

Immediately, energy began converting into matter.

Lin Yan's flames rapidly contracted.

Within the flames, a pair of feet quickly appeared.

Then came the calves.

After that, half a torso appeared.

In a very short time, a man entirely bathed in flames appeared.

This man looked exceptionally young, handsome and dashing, yet did not seem immature; his features carried a faint majesty, his gaze restrained, commanding without needing to anger.

Immediately, all the flames on this man's body drew back in.

This was Lin Yan's original body.

But under the remolding of the mysterious cosmic energy, his current body was long since no longer a mortal's.

It was also a few degrees more handsome than the original.

One could say, as handsome as Pan An!

No—completely able to crush Pan An!

Moreover, around him, there was faintly a radiance shining.

It was just like the Light Queen Olivia; if she did not deliberately restrain it, around Olivia there would also constantly be a white glow, making her look just like a luminous star.
