Chapter 875

Creating a rule through the system wasn't difficult; Lin Yan simply clicked once.

Lin Yan guessed this option appeared because of the Source of Rule he had captured and burned.

But for other third-tier apex deities, even if they obtained the Source of Rule, creating a rule would still be extremely difficult.

The Source of Rule merely made it easier for third-tier apex deities to create rules.

More than ten times easier!

Even ten times easier, it was still very difficult.

Other third-tier apex deities all spent countless years accumulating power, pushing their strength to the apex, before attempting to breach the fourth tier.

Their usual order was first to condense advanced divine power of the fourth tier, then upgrade their divine rank to the brink of level 16.

This was the first half-step.

The second half-step was creating a rule, only then could their divine rank stabilize fully at level 16 and truly enter the fourth tier.

The first half-step was already very difficult.

The second half-step was even harder; many third-tier apex deities got stuck at this half-step.

Creating a rule sounded simple.

A deity could perfectly create rules within their own divine realm.

Within a deity's divine realm, the deity could do anything—making water flow uphill posed no problem at all.

But the fourth-tier deity needed to create not a minor rule within a divine realm, but a secondary rule attached to the primary rule, one that would be valid across the entire world.

Random creation wouldn't work.

And it was extremely dangerous.

A single misstep could trigger backlash from the Rule Force—minor damage to power, or severe injury, possibly permanent collapse!

Most deadly of all, success rates were often below ten percent.

By directly creating a rule through the system, Lin Yan had effectively taken the hardest second half-step first.

Then he only needed to take the first half-step.

The order was reversed!

But the difficulty was vastly reduced!

Lin Yan's current resources might already be sufficient to raise his divine rank to the brink of level 16.

The remaining exceptionally rare resources were actually prepared by the system for creating a rule.

But now the Source of Rule had perfectly solved this problem!

In short, that single thread of Source of Rule was Lin Yan's greatest gain from this event!

This thing's value was obvious even just by thinking about it.

If Lin Yan hadn't cast such a massive fire net, he probably never would've caught it.

Remember, before this, Lin Yan had swept through the sun for months without ever finding a Source of Rule!

And in the entire third wave of Solar Energy Tide, there was only this one thread of Source of Rule!

Now, it was in Lin Yan's hands!

"No, still three missing."

Lin Yan quickly scanned the system panel and found only three resources left to gather!

"Half a minute left—once the Solar Energy Tide passes, with so many deities here now, I'll buy them at premium prices!"

Lin Yan settled on his plan.

He intended to use the flame-form upgrade to simultaneously elevate his divine body form to the fourth tier.

The fourth tier was now within reach for Lin Yan.
