Apotheosis of Gu Long (1)

Gu Long, since his birth, was inherently walking on the path of the Law Godhood because he was combining the Law Comprenenshon Path with the modified Douluo Godhood Method that was practiced by the ods of the Kadath Universe.

For him, reaching the Law Godhood officially was only a matter of time, a time that came right now when he sensed the power coming from the Tomb of the Demon God. After he left Iggwilv enough time to record the things around the Tomb, he knew that his time in this had come.

They didn't really think that someone as powerful as Demon God would be buried here; even Gu Long was rather dismissive about this, considering this nothing more than just a rumor, but he was proven wrong.

The first thing he did was to erect some Bounded Fields when he would be undergoing his Apotheosis, with Witch Queen Iggwilv guarding the area and controlling the Bounded Fields and Wards around their area.

Gu Long even used the Embers of Silence to reinforce part of the Bounded Fields and Wards that were erected by them because he suspected that his Apotheosis would create rather mess...

Normally, the Godhood Method had a so-called Demigod Stage, but Gu Long was rather skipping it or in other words, he was already born as Demigod, with his Godhood Index reaching 10 when he reached adulthood.

That was something to be expected as both of his parents were at the Annuled Stage of Godhood. The Dragon Prince looked at the Tomb of the Demon God, which was brimming with vast and powerful Demonic and Divine Energies, as he used his Devour Clan Trait and Law of Devouring to start the process.

The Devour was one of his predominant Clan Traits and he also had a very strong affinity and talent for the Law of Devour because it was the Law in which he would be ascending together with the Godhood.

The Law Godhood of Devour.

Or rather, Law Godhood of Heaven Devourer and the Golden Law of Holy Destruction would be his foundations for Tier 9.

That would be more fitting for his draconic nature. The very second he used Devour on the Tomb of the Demon God, he started assimilating an overwhelming amount of energy inside his body.

For a few seconds or even minutes, nothing happened because he was only reaching his limits, slowly but steadily, but after ten minutes of devouring the Demonic and Divine Energies from the Tomb of the Demon God, he suddenly felt a crack in his Godhead within his body.

It was only a small noticeable crack that happened, but with more and more energies he devoured from the Tomb of the Demon God, the bigger the crack was getting. On the other note, not only was this changing within his body, but his soul was also becoming more saturated with the Laws and overwhelming power of Godhood.

His Law of Devour was becoming clearer and clearer with each bit of Demonic and Divine Energy devoured from the Tomb of the Demon God as if he was realizing that some missing pieces were appearing one by one.

After several hours of devouring Demonic and Divine Energies from the Tomb of the Demon God, he suddenly felt something click in his soul, as the Law of Devour was comprehended at the 100%.

When that happened, the Godhead within Gu Long's body, which was already full of cracks, started falling apart and his soul, which was being transformed from its previous translucent color to a pure golden one, was also beginning to change.

With the comprehension of the Law of Devour at the 100% the speed of Devouring of the Demonic and Divine Energies of the Tomb of the Demon God was increased tens of times and now he was overflooded by the tremendous levels of Energies.

But at the same time, as the Godhead cracked, it started instantly reforming itself into the proper Godhead, but contrary to normal Godheads that were created with the Godhood Method, this one was a bit different.

It had patterns of Law inscribed around the surface of the Godhead. He felt that his entire being was changed the moment he achieved the comprehension of the Law of Devour at 100% and it started fusing with the God aspect perfectly.

Suddenly, he felt that his Godhood Index was rising... at lightning speed...

Within ten minutes of Deovuring, his Godhood Index reached 100, officially classifying him as Tier 9 Lesser Law God, but it didn't stop there because the Tomb of the Demon God still contained a tremendous amount of Demonic and Divine Energies.

Gu Long suspected that the Demon God was someone who must have reached at least Tier 11 during his lifetime, but at the same time, he possessed far superior energy to the mishmash of the Demon God.

After almost half an hour, his Godhood Index has crossed over 500, and after another one hour, it reached 750.

Gu Long didn't stop or take pause, but he was still continuing and was constantly devouring the energies from the Tomb of the Demon God with all of his power.

Witch Queen Iggwilv was looking at everything that was transpiring with interest and worry because she could sense that the entire process was taking a toll on her lover, a one heavy toll, but the Dragon Prince was still continuing because it was a one-time opportunity.

He knew that once he stopped, the next subsequent process wouldn't be that potent. When Gu Long's Godhood Index reached over 3,000 the Dragon Prince showed the initial signs of fatigue, but he grit his teeth as he continued.

Soon enough, a Golden Light burst out of his body, as the Golden Light of Holy Destruction finally took shape within his Soul and Godhead. When that happened, his expression was greatly revitalized and the process of devouring was accelerated more than a hundredfold.

With his Godhood Index shooting by tens with each passing minute and soon enough crossing the line of 5,000.

The power around his body was getting so oppressive that it started destroying a part of Mount Barad-Dúm just by exposure to his aura alone.
