Chapter 874

Before the Yaoneng tide reaches its peak, even these gods cannot be certain that Lin Yan won't be swept away.

Within the heavenly sun, Lin Yan naturally knew nothing of what was happening outside; in the final minute, some matter and energy deep within the sun would surge forth.

This minute was crucial, so Lin Yan devoted all his attention to it.

And Lin Yan's divine essence continued to filter divine substances for him.

"Special flame!"

At this moment, Lin Yan made a new discovery.

Within the sun, there was actually a special flame!

This special flame was caught up by the Yaoneng tide, and then…

…was swallowed by Lin Yan.

After swallowing it, Lin Yan gained another special flame.

He also gained a large amount of evolution points.

"Not bad gains!"

Lin Yan thought.

This special flame contributed a full one hundred thousand evolution points.

After the system analyzed its properties, it naturally completed the transformation of the outermost flame layer.

Lin Yan named this special flame Flame Layer!

He had no time yet to examine its properties.

"Huh, what's this?"

Just after swallowing the special flame, Lin Yan felt something strange.

Because his divine essence had retrieved a trace of special energy.

Soon, these special energies became more and more numerous.

"Is this the energy Weiweila and the others need to absorb?"

Lin Yan thought.

As the final minute continued to shorten, these special energies increased further, and they even split into different types!

The divine essence rapidly collected these special energies.

Soon, these special energies coalesced into a massive cluster!

Lin Yan had no time to study what these special energies did.

He guessed they could be added to divine power, granting it superior properties.

Divine power was a highly advanced energy, but each god's divine power had different compositions; adding special energies would endow it with peculiar traits, improving its effectiveness whether used for attack or other purposes.

Lin Yan estimated that the special energies his divine essence had gathered would take Weiweila and the others dozens of Yaoneng tide cycles to fully collect.

As Lin Yan was thinking, suddenly his heart stirred.

Because he sensed a trace of special aura!

This aura was faint.

Extremely faint.

But in Lin Yan's heart, an intense longing instantly surged!

"What is that?"

This aura was interwoven within the Yaoneng tide—it was neither energy nor matter.

This aura quickly surged through Lin Yan's flame net.

The divine essence tried to capture it, but failed!

"Burn it!"

Lin Yan violently poured in vast amounts of divine power.

"Boom!"

Within the heavenly sun, the massive flame net erupted outward!

Simultaneously, Lin Yan activated a great number of rules.

Immediately, that trace of special aura was captured by Lin Yan's flames—and burned!

"You burned the Source of Rules, gained 500,000 evolution points."

The system's notification sounded.

Source of Rules!

What was this?

Lin Yan had no time to investigate what the Source of Rules was.

Because after burning the Source of Rules, his evolution points seemed sufficient!

He could level up!

By now, the evolution points required to level up were enormous.

After all, he was already at Level 10 Infinite Flame!

Even if Lin Yan didn't level up, in his Level 10 Infinite Flame form, if he spared no cost, he could likely fight a fourth-tier god.

But if he could level up, he wouldn't delay—he immediately chose to level up.

"Level up successful. Congratulations, you have reached the second stage of Infinite Flame."

Lin Yan glanced at his panel and instantly noticed something different!

"Can Create Rule—what does that mean?"

Lin Yan thought.

Lin Yan opened the description.

Immediately, Lin Yan understood the meaning of those words!

Lin Yan could create his own rule!

Creating a rule was the method of fourth-tier gods!

Gods were powerful because they could wield divine power and rule-force.

Fourth-tier gods held such high status in the Heavenly Realm not only because of their immense power, but because they could already create a rule!

However, this rule had to be chosen carefully, for fourth-tier gods must use their created rule to touch the corresponding law.

Of course, the rule created by a fourth-tier god was not the primary rule.

For example, in the Ice Rule, the Cold Ice Rule was the primary rule—equivalent to the main channel of a river.

Along this main channel flowed countless tributaries, numerous unnamed secondary rules—the other secondary rules within the Ice Rule.

Primary rules were innate.

Secondary rules were partly innate, partly created by fourth-tier gods.

"So if I create a rule, I'll become a fourth-tier god in divine body form?"

Lin Yan thought.

"No, wrong—it's more like I've stepped half a foot into the fourth tier."

Lin Yan quickly corrected his thought.
