Chapter 65 Beginner's Tutorial Ends
The new body was still naked. Karl had a sudden thought, and divine power immediately emerged from his body and formed a set of light blue clothing.
Only then did the special power representing the laws of heaven and earth completely disappear, and the miniature plane returned to peace once again.
"It's finally over."
Karl's smile finally broke out, and at the same time, the clone beside him merged into his main body.
"Without the laws of heaven and earth, the pain of having one soul in two parts would be unbearable even for the Holy Domain."
After becoming a god, Karl did not choose to leave seclusion, but instead planned to experience the changes in himself. However, this time, the experience took a long time to complete.
Because Karl discovered that deep within his mind, above the ocean of souls, there was not only his smaller spherical soul, but also a figure sitting cross-legged on the surface of the ocean of souls below it—Karl's wind-elemental divine avatar.
"This ocean of souls is truly wondrous."
After all, there's really no difference between the divine clone and the original, since both bodies contain the same soul, Karl, and both bodies are equally important.
If there is any difference, it is only that one's own Holy Domain True Self still has the opportunity to comprehend other laws, while the Wind God Avatar can only comprehend the laws belonging to wind from now on.
"Try to draw upon divine power."
Under Karl's will, through his divine essence, he once again sensed the plane at the core of the boundless universe, where boundless elemental tides surged and churned. At this moment, Karl's soul sensed a location ten meters below the surface of this elemental liquid.
He was trying to draw upon this wind-elemental divine power.
"Um?"
When Karl was drawing on divine power, he discovered that the process was far too slow.
He was ten meters below this ocean of elements, as if this place were an anchor point through which divine power could be directly transmitted into Karl's body, bit by bit, through a special channel. Although he was also absorbing divine power, the speed was incomparable to the control he had previously developed through his talent. Just now, he could absorb enough divine power to condense a divine body in an instant, but now Karl needed quite a while to absorb even a drop of divine power.
"If that's the case, even if the core of a god-level powerhouse is the soul within the godhead, once the body is injured, it would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to fully recover the divine body."
Karl's wind-elemental god clone is currently at full strength, with a flawless divine body and perfect divine power. However, if he were to engage in a prolonged battle, the divine power he consumed would require time to recover.
This also means that even god-level powerhouses will experience a reduction in their strength after being injured due to their physical condition.
According to Karl's estimation, the attack range of a god-level powerhouse is affected by the divine domain. However, the divine domain of a lower-level god is limited. This means that even after becoming a god, a god-level powerhouse will likely have more opportunities for close combat than ranged combat, given their reaction speed and reaction ability.
After all, with Karl's current speed, even if they are thousands of meters apart, it will only be a matter of a moment.
"Perhaps only soul attacks are unaffected by the physical body."
Soul attacks are based on one's own soul, and the competition is about the strength of one's own soul and the application of profound mysteries. Under the same level of profound mysteries, soul attacks are naturally inferior to material attacks based on divine power, but similarly, the defense of the soul is also weaker than that of material defense.
"I must get a soul defense artifact in the future, otherwise, in my current state, my soul defense is probably pitifully weak."
Karl had once considered whether he should become a god within his body, but when he actually became a god, he chose to give up.
However, since becoming a god outside the body can grant an extra life, there must also be options for becoming a god inside the body.
"Perhaps the difference lies in the battle of wits?"
Karl's soul power is now only about 30% of what it used to be. As a result, Karl's soul attacks are unlikely to threaten gods of the same level who have become gods within him, and his soul defense is only 30% of what it used to be.
This means that a soul attack that would normally only cause injury could now potentially kill the attacker.
Since Karl did not choose to become a god within his body, the benefits of doing so are naturally unclear, but we can make some guesses.
"Those god-level powerhouses who became gods within their bodies in ancient times may have had a certain advantage in their souls, but no one expected that the divine plane would later have something to compensate for the soul."
After all, the method of absorbing other people's souls to refine soul beads and then using them to strengthen one's own soul must not have existed from the beginning. Someone must have found this method later, and it is very likely that it was created by those powerful individuals who are skilled in soul manipulation.
The original intention may have been to enhance one's own soul defense and attack, but unexpectedly others followed suit. As long as the soul strength is high enough, it is difficult for the same level of profound mystery to truly kill a god of the same level.
After becoming a god, Karl naturally wanted to activate his system.
However, when Carl opened the system, he found that it had been updated.
[Beginner's Guide] Great Lord, first of all, congratulations! You have completed your transformation and now possess the ability to step into a higher level.
Karl examined it closely and discovered that the system had divided levels one to six into ordinary life forms, levels seven to nine into extraordinary beings, and the Saint Realm level into divine beings. Karl himself was now an immortal god.
[New Player Tutorial] Now that you have become an immortal god, you have unlocked the power of faith, and your new player period has come to an end.
Upon opening his personal attributes, Carl also noticed changes in his attributes.
[Host: Karl]
[Age: Immortal God]
[Rank: Lower God]
[Family: Talos (Tier 2) provides a 1% bonus]
[Territory: Skywind Kingdom (Tier 3) provides a 10% bonus]
[Religion: No clergy at present]
[Cultivation: Wind Element (Mastery), Second Profound Mystery Unlocked, Third Profound Mystery Unlocked, Second Divine System Unlocked]
[Abilities: Great Perfection Holy Body, Initial Stage Divine Body]
Karl immediately noticed the change in the system. His original age had directly reached the Immortal level. Even though he had an almost eternal lifespan during his Saint Realm days, Karl still had an age number at that time, but now it was completely gone.
In addition, the family and territory have also changed. Originally, level two was a 10% cultivation bonus and level three was a 100% cultivation bonus, but now it has been reduced by one-tenth.
Although Karl's soul underwent a transformation after becoming a god, and his comprehension ability became hundreds or thousands of times stronger than before, he lost nine-tenths of it, leaving Karl heartbroken and speechless.
