Chapter 83 Median God
Whether anyone believed this or not, Karl wasn't really worried. After all, those who could become gods were all old monsters; those with simple minds had long since died on the way.
A lower-level god who can produce amethyst can be said to be quite valuable, but Karl is a newcomer to Hell and does not have this status. How could Karl have been brought to the Blood Tiger Tribe by the Purple Thorn Army?
This means that everything on Karl comes from the material plane.
The fact that the material plane can produce amethyst is no simple matter. Amethyst is a specialty of the Purple Thorn Continent. In Hell, it can be bought in Purple Thorn Castle for only 10,000 Ink Stones. However, in other divine planes, it's not that simple.
Because crossing from the divine plane would consume the entire fortune of a five-star demon.
As for going to the material plane, that's even more difficult. After all, a teleportation array can consume the entire fortune of a five-star demon. That's just a figure of speech; no five-star demon would be foolish enough to squander all their wealth just to go to another plane.
Those who can use teleportation arrays are usually at least six-star demons, and some are even seven-star demons.
As for powerful beings like the Seven Star Demon, there aren't many of them in Peak Rock Prefecture.
The city lord of Beihai City, for example, was a seven-star demon.
This is why no one in the tribe doubted Karl's claim that he was following an invincible high god in the material plane.
Newt and Clay dreamed of becoming mid-level gods, but they wouldn't risk offending a talented lower-level god for a spatial ring that might not even be able to be opened.
time flies.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Many people can hear the resonance between heaven and earth.
"Buzz"
A strange fluctuation of the laws of heaven and earth descended, and the location was right inside the stone house where Karl was. Not far away, Newt and Clay immediately turned their attention to it.
"It's the descent of the laws of heaven and earth again. Is it yet another law that has been comprehended and a lower-level god has been attained?" A hint of envy flashed in Newt's eyes.
However, what was happening in the room where Karl was was different from what the outside world thought.
At this moment, Karl was completely enveloped by the laws of heaven and earth, and his whole body involuntarily floated up.
Carl had his eyes tightly closed, which was quite abrupt.
Karl's lower-level godhood, which possessed the attribute of wind, seemed to emerge from the top of Karl's head as if it were nothingness, and finally hovered above Karl's head. A large amount of wind element was seen surrounding this godhood, and under the control of the laws of heaven and earth, Karl's godhood was slowly undergoing a transformation.
This is the transformation from a lower-level deity to a middle-level deity.
a long time.
As the wind element gradually dissipated, the divine spark that emitted a pale blue light was now significantly more powerful than before.
Once the laws of heaven and earth disappeared, the divine spark whooshed and merged into Karl's body.
"Mid-level God Realm, achieved!"
Feeling the almost several times increase in his soul, Karl turned his attention to his system.
[Host: Karl]
[Age: Immortal God]
[Rank: Mid-level God]
[Family: Talos (Tier 3) provides a 10% bonus]
[Territory: Skywind Kingdom (Tier 3) provides a 10% bonus]
[Faith: None at present (potential for developing a pantheon)]
[Cultivation: Wind Element (Mastery), Profound Mystery of Speed (Mastery), Profound Mystery of Dimensions (Mastery), Illusory Mist (Mastery), Water Element (72%)]
[Abilities: Great Perfection Holy Body, Intermediate Divine Body]
[Laws: Law of Wind (5%), Law of Water (1%)]
[Mall Points: Amount]
After advancing to the intermediate god level, Karl discovered that the system panel seemed to have undergone some updates and optimizations. The water quality mystery, which should have been a specific value, was now a percentage. However, the points consumption remained unchanged; it was still a specific value, just more direct now.
Besides the automatic training provided by the system, Karl discovered that his attribute panel truly contained information about the laws.
"Is it because I previously attempted to fuse the laws of wind and water?"
During his two years of seclusion, Karl not only comprehended the mysteries of dimensions, but also made preliminary attempts at fusing the elements of wind and speed, and the elements of water and the mystical mysteries of mist.
However, after becoming a god, Karl rarely opened his attribute panel, because with a stronger soul, he could clearly feel every bit of progress he made.
"Upgrading to a mid-level god, let me see if there are any changes in the system shop."
Thinking about it, Karl opened the system shop and found that there were suddenly many more items inside.
Among them, the three magical artifacts are naturally the most useful.
Knives, axes, clubs, swords, whips, and so on, but Karl still preferred a three-foot-long sword. Without hesitation, a light blue longsword fell into Karl's hands.
The sword has a smooth and even blade, with a triangular tip. The whole sword gleams with a cold, sharp light, making it look like a three-foot-long green dragon.
"Above the mid-level god is the high-level god, but I don't want to be the weakest four-star high-level god. That would mean I would stay in the mid-level god realm for a long time. In that case, I'll change this sword to the Azure Dragon Sword."
As Karl stroked the longsword in his hand, joy flashed across his face.
The Azure Dragon Sword is a mid-tier attack artifact. If it were eight thousand years ago, Karl would definitely not have dared to name it after all, there was a main god in the world who was the Azure Dragon.
But now, all Karl can say is a chuckle.
After binding the Azure Dragon Sword with his blood, Karl enveloped the sword in his divine power, placed it on his lap, and then opened the system shop to find a dazzling array of goodies.
"Now that we have offensive artifacts, defensive artifacts must keep up."
After careful selection, Karl settled on a defensive artifact that resembled a leather-lined armor. As for the price, Karl was never worried; centuries of cultivation in the material plane had yielded his current extravagance.
After acquiring the leather armor, Karl refined it with his blood and then put it on. He then put on an ordinary piece of clothing over it, making him look rather muscular.
"Strangely enough, the strength of a material defense artifact should be determined by the amount of divine power it contains, but in reality, the design also matters."
Karl was somewhat puzzled by this, since he hadn't actually fought much since becoming a god.
However, Karl also knew that defensive artifacts were divided into several grades, with the most expensive being armor, or full-body armor, which had the strongest defense. Next were those that protected most of the body's surface area, while the weakest could only protect some key areas.
After all, the amount of divine power that a material defense artifact can absorb is also somewhat related to the size of the artifact.
The larger a defensive artifact is, the longer it takes to nurture, and the more divine power it contains.
After purchasing the offensive artifact and the physical defense artifact, Karl naturally wouldn't forget the soul defense artifact.
It must be a product of the system; otherwise, which mid-level god could create a soul defense artifact?
It was a simple ring, entirely purple-yellow. Karl wore it on the ring finger of his right hand. After refining it with his blood, he immediately felt a thin film stronger than that of a lower-level soul defense artifact, completely enveloping Karl's sea of souls.
"As expected, the higher the level of the artifact, the stronger its effect."
After feeling his soul ocean completely enveloped, Karl gained some understanding of the outer membrane.
Needless to say, the soul attacks of lower-level gods are like ants trying to shake an elephant in front of this thin membrane, utterly insignificant.
As long as it's not a mid-level god who is extremely skilled in soul attacks, or a soul attack launched by more than twenty mid-level gods, Karl can withstand it.
Even those mid-level gods who have mastered profound mysteries and are skilled in soul attacks, Karl can be completely fearless as long as he is not attacked for a long time.
"It can probably withstand a soul attack at the level of a five-star demon."
After refining this soul defense artifact, Karl made a judgment in his mind.
Of course, this five-star demon level refers to a mid-level god whose overall strength reaches the five-star demon level. Because the soul strength is not comparable to that of a high-level god, the soul attack of a five-star demon will be greatly reduced when using a soul attack.
If they were true high-level gods, even if they were only high-level gods who comprehended a single profound mystery and became gods on their own, their soul strength would far exceed that of mid-level gods. Even without using the profound mysteries that they were good at dealing with the soul, Karl would have a very hard time resisting them.
"After all, it's just a mid-level artifact, so we can't expect too much."
After refining the three divine artifacts, Karl bought two more sets, one for his Saintly Realm self and the other for his Water Element Lower God clone.
Although he probably wouldn't split his clones most of the time, for Karl now, the store points are just a string of numbers. Buying a couple more sets wouldn't hurt, since being prepared in advance would give him a better chance in case of special circumstances.
After purchasing nine mid-level divine artifacts, Karl set his sights on the treasures in the shop that were effective for cultivation.
The Golden Bead of the Soul.
From a ten-year purchase restriction to no usage restrictions now.
"Indeed, the Soul Golden Bead is very important to a mid-level god."
With a simple click, Karl bought two. He naturally needed to use them for his Saintly Realm main body and his Water God clone. After purchasing the Soul Gold Beads, although the shop had a dazzling array of treasures, Karl only spent 100 million points to buy a mid-level god-level metal life form.
Aside from this, Karl had no further desire to buy anything other than cultivation-related items.
"Next, it's time to purchase Xuan'ao."
The profound mystery is something that Karl, with his current mid-level god realm, can naturally comprehend on his own. However, purchasing the profound mystery allows one to directly begin learning it, and once one begins learning it, one can start comprehending it directly on their own, or the system can automatically cultivate it.
Rather than wandering around and suddenly gaining inspiration to comprehend a new mystery, Karl said there was no need for such trouble.
"Windwalking Technique!"
"Clone Technique!"
"The profound meaning of slowness!"
"The Secrets of Sound Waves!"
When Karl wanted to buy the Vocal Arts Secrets, he found that the purchase button for the Vocal Arts Secrets in the shop had suddenly turned gray.
"What's going on?"
Karl suddenly felt a little panicked, especially when he saw that the "Wind Space" technique was also grayed out and unavailable for purchase, a wave of panic washed over him.
"calm!"
"calm!"
"Karl, you're already a mid-level god. Don't panic in the face of adversity. Even if the system malfunctions, you might still become a high-level god."
Karl talked to himself for a long time before calming down his inner turmoil.
"What is the reason why I can't buy it anymore?"
Karl studied it for a moment, but there were no prompts on either the shop or his personal panel.
After I became a god, the newbie guide was already offline, otherwise I could have asked the newbie guide why.
"Don't panic. I have already mastered three of the profound mysteries of the Law of Wind and entered the basics of four others. At worst, I can comprehend the vocal music and wind space on my own in the future. Even if I can't comprehend them, as long as I master the four profound mysteries, I will still be a very strong mid-level god."
"If one can fuse all seven mysteries, one's strength will not be weaker than that of an ordinary six-star demon."
Karl was a little flustered, but he gradually came to his senses.
"It's not that I can't purchase the remaining two profound mysteries, it's that my soul can no longer bear them."
When profound mysteries are perfected, they will be recorded on the divine essence. Even if the person is killed, the divine essence will still contain the former owner's understanding of the profound mysteries of perfection.
"Is it because my current soul strength is only barely at the level of a mid-level god?"
Karl himself conceived of a theory of the accumulation of profound mysteries; without sufficient soul strength, one cannot comprehend more profound mysteries.
If Karl were to comprehend it on his own, he might be able to grasp the profound mysteries of all nine wind laws, but he would definitely not be able to master more than seven of them.
The system's function is quite simple.
Since Karl advanced to the middle god level while his lower god soul was at its peak, his soul strength was naturally stronger than those who had not used soul beads, amethysts or other methods to enhance their souls. According to the system's assessment, Karl's soul strength was now at the level of mastery of the seven mysteries of wind.
As for comprehending the eighth profound mystery, it might mean that Karl could only master six of the profound mysteries, and would be unable to reach the mastery level of the remaining two.
"Now I think I understand why those powerful beings couldn't improve for hundreds of thousands of years."
Even for Linley, it only took a few hundred years to fuse the four profound mysteries, but that was because the amethyst refinement enhanced his soul. Linley's soul strength during his time as an upper god must have reached the limit of an upper god.
Therefore, it is normal to comprehend four profound mysteries in a few hundred years, but if it is the fifth one, it would be very difficult to achieve in normal circumstances without several thousand or even tens of thousands of years.
"It seems that my main focus of cultivation from now on will be refining the Soul Golden Pearl. Fortunately, after becoming a mid-level god, I can buy it without limit. Once my soul improves further, the eighth and ninth profound mysteries will be a natural progression."
Once Karl understood this, he stopped worrying about it.
"By the way, it seems my family has been upgraded to level three?"
Karl opened his personal panel and found that he hadn't misread it; the Talos family was now a level three family.
