Chapter 667 - 599: The Precarious World

A month had passed since Li Wei slayed the invading Ancient Ming God.

The Ancient Ming God’s Divine Format had been completely refined by the Divine Fire.

The Divine Fire sublimated, giving birth to an eleventh color.

A gold that came from the Ancient Ming God.

After the Divine Fire sublimated into the eleven-colored Divine Fire, its speed of burning the Sun increased even further.

Moreover, the Divine Fire now contained the Power that had come from within the Ancient Ming God’s body.

The Divine Fire could inflict Brittleness upon objects, making them easier and faster to burn into Divine Power.

Faced with the eleven-colored Divine Fire, capable of inflicting Brittleness and accelerating combustion, even a massive star would only take a hundred years to burn to cinders.

Unwittingly, Li Wei already possessed one-thousandth of the Sun’s Power.

Li Wei had once imagined that possessing one percent of a star’s Power would be comparable to a Low-Rank Deity.

Now, it seemed he didn’t need nearly that much.

One-thousandth was more than enough.

The change in the Divine Fire made Rose’s situation even more precarious.

For now, she could still rely on the sealing effect of the Spider Web Law to shield herself from the eleven-colored Divine Fire’s flames.

However, the added Brittleness effect of the eleven-colored Divine Fire was causing her Divine Power consumption to accelerate.

Rose worried to herself, ’I wonder what other changes Li Wei’s Divine Fire will undergo. If the Divine Fire evolves more colors and greater Power, will I still be able to remain unscathed?’

Rose had already begun to consider her last resort, a path with no other options.

At the same time, she prayed in her heart. ’Please, you idiot Divine Spirits in the Underworld, stop coming one by one just to get yourselves killed. Unite! Work together to defeat Li Wei.’ A Divine Spirit defeating a Demigod... ’It’s completely backward.’

But in Rose’s eyes, this was perfectly normal.

Li Wei’s strength had long since far surpassed the level of a Demigod.

It was one thing to have mastered several complete Powers of Laws, but he also possessed Divine Power far greater than that of a Divine Spirit.

Why Li Wei hadn’t yet become a god was something Rose simply couldn’t comprehend.

Rose’s avatar, which remained in the Underworld, was fanning the flames, causing the situation there to roil with undercurrents and become even more unpredictable.

Her goal was to lure, or rather, to force the Divine Spirits of the Underworld to make a move against Li Wei.

She was running out of time.

Rose had no choice but to resort to more drastic measures.

If Li Wei were to comment on her actions, he would think Rose deserved the Divine Position of the God of Schemes.

Unfortunately, the Divine Position for a god of schemes had long been occupied by one of the gods.

Otherwise, for Rose to have induced the fall of a Divine Spirit through scheming alone would truly be considered a remarkable achievement.

While Rose was wracking her brain for a way to escape, Li Wei was not idle either.

Besides refining the Divine Format left behind by the Ancient Ming God, he was also seeking an opportunity to comprehend the Elemental Birth and Destruction Law.

After mastering the Basic Level Natural Laws, he could already feel the emergence of that opportunity.

All that was missing was the flash of inspiration that came with it.

He only needed to capture that inspiration once.

Then, he could begin his journey of comprehending the Elemental Birth and Destruction Law.

But Li Wei struggled, unable to find that wisp of inspiration.

"A lack of inspiration... what’s going on?"

"I can clearly feel it—the Trace of the fundamental Laws of Heaven and Earth hidden beneath nature."

"But why can’t I seem to find that flash of inspiration?"

Li Wei slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"Could it be due to the restrictions of the gods?"

"The Elements... or perhaps, this domain is already controlled by someone."

"The Magic Goddess?"

Gu Sewei saw Li Wei standing alone on the rooftop, gazing at the sky.

She could sense the trouble in his heart.

Gu Sewei asked, "If something’s wrong, you can tell me and we can discuss it together. I might not be able to help, but sometimes just talking about a problem solves half of it."

Hearing this, Li Wei felt she had a point.

So he told Gu Sewei what was troubling him.

Gu Sewei had never perceived the Laws of Heaven and Earth, so she didn’t understand the wisp of inspiration Li Wei was pursuing.

However, she had a similar experience.

When she was seeking her breakthrough to become a Legendary Mage, she had also struggled with that one elusive opportunity.

Gu Sewei smiled and said, "If you have a direction, then work towards it. If you don’t, then slow down for a while. What’s meant to be yours will come to you eventually... Sometimes, the more you rush, the harder it is to obtain."

This was an insight she had gained when she broke through to become a Legendary Mage.

When she had just reached the Peak of Tier Six Cultivation and touched the threshold of the Legend rank, she had wanted to break through to the Legendary Level day and night.

But things rarely go as one wishes.

The more she wanted to break through, the harder it was to perceive that fleeting opportunity.

She couldn’t find her own Path of Legend.

It wasn’t until several years later, when she had relaxed her mind and was simply letting nature take its course without any expectations, that she unwittingly captured the opportunity for a breakthrough.

She had found her Path of Legend.

Some might see this as a cruel joke of fate.

Gu Sewei felt it was the exact opposite—it was a gift from fate.

Hearing this, Li Wei thought for a moment, then chuckled.

"Haha, let’s not talk about this anymore. How have you been feeling lately?"

"How have I been feeling about what?"

Li Wei gently touched Gu Sewei’s stomach.

Gu Sewei’s face turned slightly red as she said in a small voice, "It feels... very special. It’s like I have two lives now. I feel like I should do something for this little one... How about we go shopping for some baby clothes?"

Gu Sewei looked up at Li Wei.

Li Wei nodded and smiled. "Sure. But isn’t it a little early to be buying them now?"

Gu Sewei smiled sweetly. "It’s not early. I can’t wait to see him or her wearing the new clothes I buy."

"So, should we buy clothes for a boy, or for a girl?" Li Wei asked.
