Chapter 636: The Electromagnetic Divinity and the Kuo Mu Beast Seers

Lynn Maxwell hovered in the void above, gazing down at the entire planet below.

This had long since become his divine realm, allowing him to 'see' every moment on the planet without the aid of detectors spread across various continents. His view encompassed massive tribal wars involving millions of sentient beings, as well as the brutal law of the jungle at the edges of forests...

Despite this being the fourth divine realm Lynn had constructed, it was distinctly different.

Within the Eternal Star, humans were the absolute protagonists. Having once been human himself, Lynn employed more gentle methods, fostering a slow and mutually beneficial progression.

As for the other intelligent races and magical beasts, their numbers were relatively few, making research a frustrating endeavor.

The exotic realms and the moon—one a world on the brink of extinction and the other a barren satellite—were hardly complete life-bearing stars.

The planet beneath his feet, however, was a true testing ground where he could freely exert his influence!

Lynn extended his hand, and countless drifting specks of light immediately appeared in his palm, densely packed and too numerous to count.

Most of these light specks appeared dim, like some type of plankton aimlessly drifting, but a few were exceptionally active, constantly colliding and darting about.

Each speck was a soul.

In total, billions of souls were bound within a palm-sized spherical orb.

Over the course of the year, the number of creatures that had died on this planet was, of course, far greater.

After some experimentation, Lynn discovered that only sentient beings of the fourth tier and above could condense a substantial soul in a high-magic environment.

The lower-tier intelligent creatures would vanish along with their consciousness upon natural death unless a mutation was induced by magical transformation.

After a period of research, Lynn’s thoughts shifted, and a grayish-white necrotic mist surged upward, instantly engulfing the multitude of souls and converting them into nourishment...

The soul was a medium for material and magical transformation, a hypothesis Lynn had previously confirmed. With the necromancy divinity, this transformation became exceedingly convenient, requiring hardly any effort on his part.

Yet, converting such a vast number of souls still took a day’s time.

The massive influx of souls replenished Lynn’s divine power, which had been gradually depleting from resisting the Quantum Sea's onslaught, leaving him with about forty percent surplus. Moreover, he anticipated that as the number of sentient creatures increased over time, this ratio would further improve.

Lynn also planned to seize this opportunity to do something.

He intended to condense a divinity!

A divinity was an extremely important source of power for a deity. For example, before acquiring the necromancy divinity, transforming billions of souls might have taken him half a month, but now it only required about a day.

It was akin to a more advanced spell slot, allowing a deity with that divinity to cast corresponding divine spells as naturally as breathing.

As for the spells involving other divinities, Lynn had initially thought they wouldn’t have much impact, but after officially interacting with deities from the main worlds, he changed his mind.

Those deities he encountered typically wielded the power of their own divinities, leading Lynn to speculate that he might be an exception since no other divinity existed in this world, and the Arcane divinity covered a very broad range.

Aila, too, must have realized this, or perhaps discovered something from the legacy of the previous Moon God. In the beginning, she established her creed and aggressively promoted herself as a creator deity, attempting to force all believers to think she controlled everything.

Of course, Aila’s plan was doomed to fail. With just twenty million people and a million devout followers on the Eternal Star, condensing such a high-level divinity was impossible.

Lynn had no intention of reaching for the stars nor did he plan to spend a great deal of time condensing a relatively useless divinity. After some consideration, he set his sights on thunder.

Thunder and lightning were formidable natural forces, their essence being the attraction of opposite charges that neutralize each other when they meet.

After Anthony developed electrotherapy, even certified wizards could barely harness its power, still severely restrained by Faraday cages.

But the power of thunder was not so simple. It was related to the four fundamental forces of strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and electromagnetic forces, with only gravity, which involves dimensions and spacetime, remaining elusive.

Aside from dimensions, electromagnetic force was fundamentally what governed the universe’s operation, its potential astonishingly vast. This was why Lynn chose this divinity.

Now, seizing this moment, he would break through and condense the electromagnetic divinity!

Lynn closed his eyes to sense the surroundings. Thick clouds gradually gathered in the sky, with intense thunder flashing within.

...

As days turned into years during a brutal expansion period, magical creatures thrived on this planet.

As one of the three top-tier intelligent creatures, the Kuo Mu beasts undoubtedly became the protagonists on one continent.

Those Kuo Mu beasts who had once gazed at the sun and been blinded by it became the seers of their tribes, claiming to have received divine revelations and seen the truth of the world!

With their eyes gone, their hearing and sensing abilities became extraordinarily sharp, and under the influence of magic, they could even control fire and wind—seen as divine gifts without question!

To become seers and learn to harness the power of fire and wind, other tribe members had to stare at the three suns every few years when they appeared in the sky, sacrificing their prized eyesight to receive divine gifts and enlightenment!

Some Kuo Mu beast seers firmly believed that the stars had vanished from the sky because the gods gathered them together to create two additional suns!

That sea became a holy land in the hearts of the Kuo Mu beasts, with increasingly outlandish myths passed down orally, and countless divine scriptures and legends engraved on stone walls for followers to worship.

In their fervent faith, some Kuo Mu beasts would even blind themselves to demonstrate their piety, hoping to gain divine revelation.

However, the gods had no time to pay them any mind...
