Start with Island Lord

In the suburbs of Gray City, a well-built secret room underground.

Rosen lay on his back, his body completely relaxed, and his soul, which had reached the peak of the 20th ring, entered a state of no thought.

In the deepest part of his soul, Laifu, composed of source material, was operating step by step according to the method provided by the Joyer.

Indistinctly, Rosen could feel the power surging in the depths of his soul.

But this feeling was very vague, just like the world in the eyes of a patient with a thousand-degree myopia, who could only see some hazy light and shadow shaking, but could not see the details at all.

Naturally, there was no way to interfere.

The only thing he could do at this moment was to wait patiently.

Time passed by minute by minute, and he didn't know how long it had been. Rosen suddenly felt that his whole body, from soul to body, from core to outer layer, trembled violently.

Before he could react, he felt a warmth and joy surging from the deepest part of his soul, flowing through his limbs and bones in an instant, bringing him unparalleled pleasure and comfort.

This feeling was very wonderful, even more wonderful than the feeling of being with the most beloved woman.

After another moment, Rosen felt the light again.

This was a soul light radiating from the core of the soul.

In Rosen's self-perception, it was light gold, similar to the color of the sun.

This light illuminated his entire soul as clear and transparent as the most perfect crystal.

So, Rosen saw his soul clearly.

He saw that in the deepest part of his soul was running an extremely sophisticated complex structure with a strong sense of order inside and a layer of bright light mist wrapped outside.

The light that illuminated the soul came from a fine structure in the center of the structure, and its volume occupied about two-thirds of the entire structure.

Rosen suddenly had an epiphany.

'Oh~ So this is the true appearance of Lai Fu, and this is the embodiment of the divine fire. '

The Joyer said that the divine fire is not actually fire, but the eternal furnace of the source structure.

The fuel in this furnace is time and space itself.

Therefore, as long as time and space are not destroyed and the divine fire is not extinguished, the divine power will be endless.

This is great news, which means that the gods will live as long as the heaven and earth.

However, the structure of this eternal furnace will greatly affect the intensity of the flame.

And the intensity of the flame directly corresponds to the supply speed of the divine power.

"The divine fire has been ignited, so what benefits can this thing bring me?"

Rosen began to carefully perceive the changes in his body.

Soon he discovered the first change.

"I have a clear ability to perceive the source."

The Joyful One said that it is extremely difficult for mortals to perceive the source. Even if they reach the 23rd ring and become the so-called eternal strong, they can only vaguely feel the source.

In this case, lighting the divine fire is like asking a blind person to use only the touch of his hands to mold a master-level sculpture.

The difficulty is imaginable.

But now, Rosen can see whether the source is not, not only can he see, but he can also control the source!

"In other words, the divine fire allows me to obtain the 'source control power' of the true god."

He continued to perceive the changes.

Soon he discovered the second obvious change.

"My time and space talent has broken through the boundaries of mortals and dived deeper into the ocean of time and space."

Before, he could only dive 23 orders of magnitude in the size of the basic element particles, but after igniting the divine fire, he directly dived 10 orders of magnitude, reaching 33 orders of magnitude.

At 23 orders of magnitude, he could only vaguely judge the relative strength of the true artifact when observing the true artifact.

At 33 orders of magnitude, he observed the true artifact, the Light Scepter, and clearly felt its fine structure.

'Oh~~ It turns out that the so-called true artifacts are all condensed by the source. '

He began to study the Light Scepter carefully, and the more he studied, the more he felt the beauty of this thing.

'No wonder this thing can protect the souls of mortals. '

But at the same time, he also had a strong sense of luck in his heart.

'The Light Scepter is a dead object after all, and its protection of mortal souls is limited. Facing the apostles of the true God, or when they are far enough away from the true God, this protection is effective. If he faces the true God at close range, the true God will break through his defense. ’

In other words, the reason why he can negotiate with the true God is because the true God's body is in a distant other world.

Once the true God enters his world, he will immediately become a fish in a net and a bird in a cage. No matter how he tries, he can't escape the palm of the true God.

Fortunately, he has now successfully ignited the divine fire and reached a new height. Facing the true God, he is no longer in a state of being powerless to fight back.

He gathered his mind and continued to study the scepter of light.

The more he studied, the more fascinated he became, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh~ The source is worthy of the title of the source of all things, and its properties are really strange.'

The basic effect of the Light Scepter is to protect the soul from the invasion of the true god.

The reason why it can do this is not to strengthen the mortal soul to face the pressure of the true god, but to hide the mortal soul so that the true god cannot accurately locate the mortal soul.

'The Light Scepter should be a naturally condensed artifact. There are still many flaws in the structure. I will try to improve it.'

Do it as soon as you think of it.

'It's difficult to achieve perfection by myself, so I still have to rely on Lai Fu.'

'I will let Lai Fu train an ability of "Source Craftsman."'

First let Lai Fu create a new ability, then enter the learning mode, and then Rosen himself began to operate the source continuously to accumulate Lai Fu's training data.

During this training, Rosen discovered the changes in Lai Fu.

After the divine fire was ignited, its computing power surged again.

The direct result was that the learning ability reached an incredible level, almost to the point of mastering it in a short time.

Rosen originally expected that it would take at least ten days of training, but in just a few hours, the ability of "Source Craftsman" could be operated independently.

'Tsk tsk ~ This computing power is really against the sky. But I can feel that Lai Fu is also a naturally condensed source creation, and the structure is not perfect, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. '

He guessed that the reason why Lai Fu appeared in his soul was probably that when he traveled through the world, the source of this world entered his soul by chance, combined with the earth knowledge in his mind, and then produced the corresponding ability.

But just like the light scepter, such random condensation certainly has many flaws.

'Lai Fu is a very important tool for me. After I get through the crisis, I will slowly study and improve it. '

As for now, of course, I will continue to improve the light scepter.

With the help of Lai Fu's new ability, about ten hours later, Rosen completed the improvement of the Light Scepter and greatly improved its concealment performance.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "With the protection of this thing, it is enough to perfectly hide the divine fire I ignited."

It is true that he has ignited the divine fire now, but the divine fire is still very weak and has not been able to condense the divine nature of collecting source matter.

And his soul is very strange now. The inner layer already has a trace of divine power, but the outer layer is only 20 rings of strength.

With the current strength of his divine fire, it is very, very slow to completely replace the 20-ring soul with the divine soul.

It may take 100 years, which is why he can still stay in the mortal world even though he has ignited the divine fire.

At the same time, this is also his most vulnerable time, which is no different from a child holding gold in the city.

If the gods of the other world find out that he has the divine fire at this time, who knows what will happen?

After finishing the Light Scepter, he continued to improve the Dawn Crown.

The Dawn Crown is also a true artifact that naturally condenses source matter.

There is only one effect, which is to generate an extremely powerful shield to resist the enemy's attack head-on.

If the input into the artifact is mortal mana, then a 23-ring shield is generated.

If the input is divine power, then a divine shield of corresponding strength is generated.

Rosen's divine fire is very weak, and the speed of generating divine power is very slow.

Divine power should not be used if it can be used, so he mainly uses the Crown of Dawn to generate a 23-ring shield.

The Crown of Dawn also has many flaws. The shield generated is nominally 23 rings, but in fact it is only about 22.7.

Rosen made improvements.

After some improvements, not only the shield strength was increased to the real 23-ring limit, but also the power conversion efficiency was greatly improved.

Finally, Rosen took out the third real artifact he had, the "Time and Space Orb".

After careful study, he was overjoyed.

"This thing is really strong, higher than the Scepter of Light and the Dawn Halo, and the effect is also ridiculously strong!"

Originally, this thing was used to imprint the time talent, but no one knew the specific principle.

Now, Rosen discovered that the talent of imprinting time was just an ordinary application of this treasure in the mortal world.

Its real effect is to focus divine power, and the maximum effect is that the divine power strength +0.2 rings.

Rosen felt that he was only a demigod now, and the divine power strength might not have reached the first divine ring, and it was estimated to be only 0.1 ring.

With the orb of time and space, it can become 0.3 ring.

"Keep improving!"

After some modifications, the focus strength reached +0.3 rings, which was not much improvement, but in battle, a little difference might be the difference between life and death.

After improving the three true artifacts, Rosen had a deeper understanding of the rules of the source quality.

Looking back at the shining divine fire in his soul, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The things I exchanged from others are indeed castrated versions of performance."

"Not only is the speed of divine power generation slow, but the quality of divine power is also low, and the utilization rate of source quality is also low. The performance is as bad as it can be."

"This divine fire also needs to be improved bit by bit."

No one has stipulated that the divine fire can only be lit once. It is completely possible to ignite the divine fire to study the source quality. After obtaining enough source quality laws, you can train Lai Fu's related abilities and then put out the fire.

'Finally, it's how to get more source quality. '

Rosen has no experience in this regard for the time being, but he does not lack believers.

He has countless believers in the Natural Empire, the Glorious Empire, and even the Holy Elf Empire, and the total number of believers has exceeded 2.5 billion.

Before, he only managed these believers through Lai Fu in order to better rule the empire.

But after igniting the divine fire, he carefully sensed and found that the believers not only contributed the power of faith to him, but also continuously contributed strands of source quality.

The source quality contributed by a single believer is very small and almost imperceptible.

But 2.5 billion believers gathered together, it became an extremely considerable number.

Unfortunately, there were so many essences coming towards him, but he couldn't catch them.

As a result, most of the essences escaped again, and only a small part of them, less than one percent of the total, settled in his soul.

'Tsk, what a huge waste! '

Rosen immediately began to study how to better preserve this part of the essence from the believers.

This matter was quite complicated, and Rosen had no idea for a while, so he could only rush around and grope around, hoping to be favored by fate.

While studying, Rosen's mind was slightly shaken, and then he heard Lai Fu's report.

"We found a prayer from the key target Oriande, do you want to check it?"

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he immediately said: "Check it immediately!"

With Oriande's tenacious character, he would not ask him for help unless he was in a truly desperate situation.
