With each passing moment, he observed the grass and trees regressing their growth, continuously reversing in time,

Lin Xiao, in this very moment, witnessed countless plants and creatures aging backwards from decrepit old age to their nascent birth, playing the transformative magic force at his disposal to induce this process.

This sudden revelation was the merger of countless seagrasses, countless Immortal Child Flowers, thousands of tiny grasses forming into hundreds of large trees,

Ultimately transmuting into a single quintessence, a single beautiful and magnificent flower from the essence of heavenly earth regressing again after uniting, expanding from small to large, perhaps reverting into a single tiny Immortal Child Flower.

Or perhaps transforming into an ancient heavenly tree, as time flowed in reverse, becoming a small tree, and then once again to the very beginning, a seed.

That seed became a sprout, retracting back into the soil almost instantaneously, rapidly returning to its tender form as it grew, aging backwards swiftly from vigorous youth to decrepit old age, all contained within the consciousness of a single blade of grass.

He felt his consciousness splitting into innumerable parts, an endless number of selves transforming, an occurrence he could never have anticipated, happening within the sea of thought in his mind.

But he could clearly sense each fragment of consciousness, although each tiny part of consciousness was far too minute for a normal person to discern, this division into countless parts was truly mystical.

Lin Xiao could clearly feel himself being divided into countless pieces of consciousness, and each piece in the sea of thought within his brain was vividly clear, which was indeed very mystical.

In this very moment, Lin Xiao felt his consciousness being split into numerous fragments within the mind’s divine essence realm, as if countless channels were broadcasting different programs on a wall full of TVs, emitting strong signals that captured every detail. It was as though his consciousness was split into infinite pieces at that moment.

With a ‘whoosh,¹ one layer of consciousness was suddenly sucked into the chaotic and continuously changing mass, which seemed extremely unstable, ready to explode at any moment, as Lin Xiao intently stared, filled with determination.

This chaotic mass was in the midst of purifying; various colored gases kept spewing out from it non-stop, as if it was a violently boiling steam bubble. Different colors of chaos, speckled with various pigments, began to stir violently, as a constant inpouring of restructuring energy flowed in.

After all, this step was as if fusing together those many cards; there was no other choice now.

Even the seven broken fragments of precious lost treasures, which contained a certain amount of restructuring energy, had fused completely inside it, leaving nothing behind in his hands.

The ceaseless inpouring of restructuring energy was converging towards this chaotic bubble under his control, merging within it.

Before preparing for the fusion, he suddenly thought that leaving the huge turtle shell and a large pile of various golden belongings obtained from the Half-snake demi-god treasury in the storeroom, including those from a giant stack there, was akin to throwing in a pile of random colored paint like garbage, only then did he truly fuse them into a single entity. After completing these tasks,

his mind, in an instant, performed ten different types of cheater operations. Heh, heh.

….But if he could succeed, turning a mere statement card into a nutrient card would be an utter waste. However, he wanted to try and test this transformational energy to the utmost, even though it was the most difficult to lose ten Immortal Child Flowers, which might not be very suitable compared to other cards.

After considering again, Lin Xiao decided to merge even the Immortal Child Flowers—specifically, those three-star statement cards he was going to pass on to his mother.

Each was merging one by one, including an ancient tree of several hundred years and even a lush, abundant field of grass, right down to two ordinary whiteboard resource cards.

Another card of rare quality, a different one, he will incorporate it into the mix.

Both items should blend perfectly, creating a beautiful fusion with the fertile black soil of the card realm-Skye Clebosa’s Divine Realm card, he thought. He would immediately absorb the essence of the Divine Realm card directly, extract the essence, and then disassemble that rare quality card.

A single strand of transformative energy slowly seeped into it, a gray clot floating slowly within the chaotic magic space turned into a gold card of essence, as he first cast the Divine Realm card into the conjuring space.

After the highest value of the Divine Realm card dropped in the market, he prepared this card as the main, with that other card as a supplement, to see what sort of hybrid could come forth.

He only had a chance of trying a new combination from this selection because it was here that he found himself, four blank boards, one rare card, two rare quality cards, one history card, one Immortal Child Flower anecdote card, one five-star city building card, and the Divine Realm quality card was notably a Half-snake demi-god, all different cards appearing in his hand, layered in a colorful stack, as he reached out with one move.

This batch of transformative energy was clearly more than what he initially activated with a gold finger, but not much more, only about one and a half times, enough to make good use of good combinations.

Hmm, upon reflection, he had only realized this dense transformative energy when he first initiated his gold finger, this one was already showing dense transformative energy, an abbreviation of its transformative power, named “Skye Clebosa’s Concoction.” Going forward from this region, cards analyzed would yield no transformative effects if no such dense energy was employed. Would there be another transformation, or were these sharp spikes a sign of something as dangerous as a salty fish?

With that intention, he tried to combine a new one that was something like a salty fish’s transformational ability—it would be true indeed if he guessed his own thoughts correctly.

But in reality, it was just a fragment of a treasure relic, although it was actually seven fragments, he was not completely certain if he could fully repair it to its original perfect use, and he still wasn’t clear how much he could repair it.

He made a decision—after only three seconds of consideration, he would test his own guess.

He really needed to consider carefully what to do next, whether to continue mending the relic or to simply use this transformative energy to test his own guess.

Even such superhuman abilities wouldn’t attract attention; no one would question them.

Xiao Lin knew that if it wasn’t for this powerful divine strength, he would definitely not be able to reveal even a snippet of its true name, unless he intended to ascend to great divine power, which again required absolute secrecy down to the core of his belly; but he knew that, this gold finger of divine transformation was actually quite frightening, and again an active surge appeared on the closed surface panel.

He was fortunate that he had just reacted quickly enough to not have spoken it out loud; otherwise, it could have been a hidden trouble.

Certain super-strong real gods, tracing along the timeline threads, could potentially reconstruct their entire lives and find out whatever he’d done if he said only one clear word, so he’d only whisper it softly to himself, to avoid being found by others.

If he knew that revealing this would definitely have some repercussions, he definitely would not go out and speak of it.

But he knew that if he revealed it, there would certainly be some change or consequences.

. There is no answer to that question.

? Could it be some sort of transformation, or perhaps, did Xiao Lin already possess the name “Ao Ai” this whole time? What’s with these questions that have come up?

. It’s simply a change in status; a mere human can be stripped of their divine duties with a word, or granted the position of a god with another. Those that possess such immeasurable divine power, that it eclipses the mightiest, are called the ‘God Above Gods’. They are not just the deities of the masses but even the Nine-Faced Dragon God is incomparable to them.

. To understand just how much of a legend one is, you just need to look at the name. The details are irrelevant, and there’s no need to introduce them in detail.

. Another one, who is of extremely exceptional strength, a master of the Crystalline Wall System, also has the title of ‘God Above Gods’ – Ao Ai, Nine- Faced Dragon God, the creator of the giant dragons of the Crystalline Wall System that span across various realms. This true name Ao Ai belongs to two entities that have emerged among our kind to this day; and there has been no introduction, to be precise, of this true name – hmmm, Xiao Lin tried to recall if he had ever seen this true name in a comprehensive encyclopedia of divine beings.

” AoAi”

. There’s been an increase in this ‘Ao Ai’ segment lately; now there are three, whereas before it was just one – Skye Clebosa, two Agave sections, and before that as a mere child this true name was only mine, Xiao Lin was certain of that.

. He didn’t dare to say what thoughts came to mind but just nodded his head when he recalled the last two characters.

“Ao Ai… Skye Clebosa. Agave?”

. His eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, his mouth agape as if he had seen something inconceivable; his gaze fixated on a certain name that appeared on the divine board. He quickly reopened the divine board for another look, but after just a split second of a fierce stare, he shook his head and closed the divine board he had prepared to investigate the magical universe.

. His demeanor had certainly undergone a big change lately, but for now, he decided to see how this playful curiosity would turn out; tears of liberation started streaming down Xiao Lin’s face.

! Ah… I definitely don’t have a giant dragon now…

. But with this, one could rapidly propagate a large batch of mighty dragons; even though the ability to propagate was woefully weak, the dragon was extremely mighty.

. Compared to the mighty dragons of the previous generation, it’s just that those that are extremely mighty had their reproductive power reduced immensely, leaving it to specialized gates. The very first time Xiao Lin thought about this superhuman ability, it seems to have gone through an unidentified stage that definitely could not be done.

. Of course, after that realization, he could wield incredible power, but that was beyond the point.

. He couldn’t allow himself to go on empty dreams; this condition is exactly what he needed to strive for first.

. And this blessing is also a power bestowed upon subsequent generations, enriching the conditions that could potentially lead to some or even many aspirations, as long as they met his requirements.

. Through this superhuman power, you could set one or many specific targets for the next generation, blessing them and even bestowing the ability to consume faith power—his intent became clear immediately as he understood its implications on his own divine board.

. Propagation—the godly superhuman power was but a new addition, and though his divine nature hadn’t changed, Xiao Lin immediately felt different, scrutinizing his own divine landscape with great care.

. He could cultivate a change of his divine landscape, but he would not realize such a transformation was happening to his own body, as he silently embodied it.

? What sort of transformation would he undergo if he were to reach the deepest layer of the universe and touch upon the creation of all things too soon? What’s with these questions that have appeared now?

. No need to worry about any mighty divine powers here; in this situation, he would only attempt to grasp a basic fundamental technique if he had already achieved an ultimate divine strength that reached the pinnacle of divinity, you should know that.

. That itself is rather unusual.

. Sitting in solemn silence within the Inner Divine Realm, Xiao Lin merged himself into one, silently consolidating all Iris fragmented consciousness.

. He continued to observe, though his meager remaining creative energy was nearly exhausted in an instant; although this feeling was only a flash that disappeared immediately and couldn’t be seen again, he was certain that he came into contact with something during that flash.
