Chapter 690

This kind of time made her feel especially happy.

It also made her feel especially fulfilled.

Lin Yan's understanding of the divine realm grew increasingly deeper.

Vivela's observation was correct—his current divine body was still quite weak.

His divine body was his original body, merely transformed into a flame form by the universe's mysterious energy during his transmigration.

Additionally, his body had been enhanced by the universe's mysterious energy, allowing it to meet the threshold of a divine body.

While Lin Yan performed matter-to-energy conversions, he also reinforced his divine body with divine power.

But his divine body was ultimately very weak!

Strengthening a flesh-and-blood divine body was no easy task.

For all gods, the divine body meant combat power, and they spent vast amounts of time crafting and reinforcing their own divine bodies.

Lin Yan's system was bound to the flame form, so he could not directly reinforce his divine body through the system as he could with the flame form.

Thus, rapidly strengthening his divine body could only rely on special treasures from the Heavenly Realm or the Abyss.

However, Lin Yan was not particularly anxious.

After completing the analysis of the divine realm, Lin Yan would begin crafting his own divine body!

And now, every day Lin Yan was in fact reinforcing his divine body with divine power, making its manipulation of divine power more convenient, faster, and steadily increasing its strength.

Although his strongest form was the flame form, whose combat power was truly terrifying, since he now had a divine body state, Lin Yan had no objection to developing both paths.

Hmm, the evolution of the flame form no longer required Lin Yan to handle everything personally.

Succubus Natasha's wars in the Abyss burned down vast numbers of powerful demons and countless servant demons each day, earning Lin Yan massive evolution points.

Only when Succubus Natasha forced out the Abyssal Demon Gods behind certain demon races would Lin Yan personally intervene to hunt them down!

Divine power greatly enhanced beings below the godly realm, but its effect on the divine body was not particularly significant—it would slowly strengthen the divine body over time, yet without immediate results.

To rapidly strengthen the divine body, special treasures were still required.

Before long, another week had passed.

"The Tianluo fruit has ripened."

On this day, Vivela plucked a fruit from a tree at the edge of the divine realm and eagerly brought it to Lin Yan to taste.

"This is the Tianluo fruit, the fruit of the Tianluo tree, which bears fruit only once every five hundred years—it's very sweet."

As Vivela spoke, she had two small elves pour water from a flask to wash the Tianluo fruit, then handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan took the Tianluo fruit and took a bite.

The flesh of the Tianluo fruit instantly dissolved upon entering his mouth.

Immediately, Lin Yan felt significant changes occurring in his divine body.

At once, Lin Yan realized—this Tianluo fruit was far more than just sweet to eat.

It was a rare fruit with excellent effects on the divine body.

Even in the Heavenly Realm, such fruit was extremely precious.

Bearing fruit only once every five hundred years—just think about it, this was certainly not common fare!

Vivela was truly generous!

Lin Yan quickly finished eating the Tianluo fruit.

After consuming one Tianluo fruit, Lin Yan's divine body underwent a dramatic transformation.

If Lin Yan's previous divine body had been in its initial state, equivalent to a Level 1 divine body corresponding to a Level 1 divine grade,

then now, after eating this Tianluo fruit, his divine body directly advanced from Level 1 to Level 2!

"Excellent!"

Lin Yan thought.

Indeed, the Heavenly Realm contained an abundance of wonderful things.

"Was it delicious?"

Seeing Lin Yan's transformation, Vivela was overjoyed and immediately handed him another Tianluo fruit.

Lin Yan looked at her: "Vivela, there are only two Tianluo fruits, right?"

Vivela nodded: "Yes, but the Tianluo fruit has little effect on me now—I can only eat it as a snack. If it helps you, I'm very happy."

Lin Yan's gaze toward Vivela revealed a hint of curiosity.

Vivela instantly understood the meaning behind his look and said:

"I am currently at the Second Tier, possessing a Level 9 divine grade and divine body, just one level away from the peak of the Second Tier. Tianluo fruits, which mature every five hundred years, have strong effects on divine bodies below Level 5, but no effect beyond that—so feel free to eat them."

"However, the Tianluo tree bears another kind of fruit every thousand years, and yet another kind every three thousand years—this is why, despite having few followers and a small population, the goddesses of the elf lineage are not particularly weak."

Vivela possessed Second Tier power, and was at Gao Jie within that tier—stronger than the god of the former Hilin Kingdom, and likely comparable to the god of the former Houdun Kingdom, which surprised Lin Yan.

The goddesses of the elf lineage did have unique traits.

They could cultivate special plants within their divine realms, improve these plants, and use them to gather rare and unique energies from the Heavenly Realm, condensing them into fruits to enhance their strength.

This was something human gods could hardly learn.

Vivela's words just now had already revealed that she knew Lin Yan's divine body was below Level 5.

Lin Yan offered no explanation for why his divine body was so weak—he took the Tianluo fruit and ate it again.

After consuming this one, Lin Yan's divine body rapidly advanced to Level 3 under the fruit's effect.

The energy from these two Tianluo fruits had not been fully digested.

Once fully digested, Lin Yan's divine body would likely reach Level 4.

Like divine grade, the higher the divine body level, the greater the resources required.

These two Tianluo fruits were sufficient to elevate Lin Yan's divine body to Level 4—something even gods would consider divine artifacts.

Vivera was indeed generous to Lin Yan; though she spoke casually, if she took these Heavenly Fruit to the Heavenly Realm and sold them, she could exchange them for many things she needed.

In the Heavenly Realm, these precious fruits, grown in the divine realms of the Elf lineage, were always in high demand—each one sparked fierce competition among countless deities!

But for Lin Yan, Vivera unhesitatingly gave him all of these priceless Heavenly Fruit.

After eating the Heavenly Fruit, Vivera did not disturb Lin Yan, for he needed to fully absorb the energy within it.

Vivera sat on the swing, leaning forward, propping her chin on her hands as she gazed absentmindedly at Lin Yan.

"Just as I thought."

Vivera thought.

Yes, these past days, she had made a bold hypothesis.

This bold hypothesis was that the Lord of Flame was likely a deity severely wounded in the Divine War.

This grave injury had destroyed his divine body, leaving only his Divine Core, which then fled to the Continent of Gods, risking everything to hide and recover his strength there.

Only recently had the Lord of Flame regained enough power to begin rebuilding his realm on the Continent of Gods once more.

"Hmm, it must be so."

Vivera thought.

She thought of many more things.

Given the Lord of Flame's power, why would he have to laboriously build his realm from scratch if he hadn't been severely wounded?

She had also learned some of the Lord of Flame's history from Anna.

The Lord of Flame had originally started from a tiny Orc tribe.

A deity at the peak of the Third Tier, or even likely the Fourth Tier, would never do such a thing.

Yet the Lord of Flame did exactly that—and within an extremely short time, he rebuilt an empire—this perfectly confirmed Vivera's hypothesis.

"The Lord of Flame trusts me deeply."

Vivera thought again.

The reason was simple.

If Lin Yan had no flame form, and was truly, as Vivera suspected, a severely wounded deity, then even with a Level 15 Divine Core, his divine body—reduced to a pitiful Level 3—could never defeat her.

And a Level 15 Divine Core held immense allure for a Second-Tier deity.

If Vivera had malicious intent, Lin Yan would be in grave danger.

Of course, this was only from Vivera's perspective.

Therefore, in Vivera's view, the Lord of Flame trusted her greatly—he had essentially placed his life and death in her hands.

Thinking of this, Vivera's gaze softened.

"His divine realm must have been destroyed, and his divine body only just remade—he must have been incredibly powerful once…"

Vivera thought silently.
