Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 615: Chapter 614: Does the Divine have a clone?_1

Bai Yun said, "Without understanding, it is fundamentally impossible to merge them."

"Some Divines even have clones; the main body embodies one Law, and the clone another. Only when the two Laws are completely merged do they become most powerful."

"Clones too?"

Jiang Chen found it hard to believe—Divines having clones.

Bai Yun smiled. "Indeed."

"Furthermore, I know that Angelina is a clone, a Divine King’s clone. Her main body embodies the Law of Death, while Angelina is the Divine Law."

Jiang Chen was utterly bewildered.

He was stunned. Angelina is a clone, and her main body is the Lord of Death? Well, that’s something. No wonder I felt Angelina had changed.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "That’s not right. How could Angelina be a clone? Isn’t she a Divine from the Bruce Clan? And if she were a clone, how could she possibly wander a minor world?"

"The clone has no connection with the main body," Bai Yun explained. "If there were a connection, they would be restricted by the cosmos. Each Divine can only possess two Laws. Only when the clone becomes a Divine will a connection form between them. And when the clone becomes a Lord, the main body will seek a way to fully merge, thus becoming capable of using two Laws. The cosmos has rules, but rules always have loopholes."

Jiang Chen asked, "Can you also condense a clone?"

"No, these clones are different. They are reincarnation clones, created by using a specific item to send one’s Soul into the cycle of reincarnation to start cultivation anew."

Jiang Chen asked, "If Angelina is a clone, then who is the main body?"

"Delvina, the Lord of Death from the Defiled God Continent."

"Uh..." Jiang Chen processed this. "How can that be?"

"It’s a secret my mother told me. Angelina is indeed Delvina, the Lord of Death’s clone. There’s no doubt about it."

"Since she’s Delvina, the Lord of Death’s clone, why would she come to the Continent of All-Gods?"

"The Law of Life exists only on the Continent of All-Gods; it’s not present on the Defiled God Continent. This was Delvina, the Lord of Death’s plan from the very beginning—to scheme for the Law of Life. The Divine Law possesses the power to bring the dead back to life."

Jiang Chen nodded. Alright then!

Jiang Chen said, "If your mother knows, why didn’t she take action against Angelina?"

"I’m not clear on that detail either, but Angelina is connected to a secret. In any case, just be careful. Don’t easily trust anyone. It’s possible that someone close to you is someone else’s clone. Some Lords, in their quest for Realization regarding Wanderers, have even turned their clones into Wanderers. It’s not impossible. They are all seeking ways to transcend; a Lord is not the most powerful."

A Lord isn’t the most powerful being? Jiang Chen thought. What in the world... Does that mean one can continue to ascend after becoming a Lord?

Jiang Chen asked, "What lies beyond a Lord?"

"I’m not sure, but I can assure you, there are even more powerful existences beyond a Lord."

Bai Yun continued, "There’s one more thing I need to tell you. The Law of Devouring is with me. Your Sister Jiang Liu has already become a Demigod. Once she merges with the Devouring Seal, even becoming a Divine will be very dangerous. You could talk to her about becoming one of my subordinates; then there won’t be a problem."

Jiang Chen knew what to do. Becoming a Divine didn’t guarantee safety; it only signified an increase in strength. It was still very dangerous. One needed a strong backing. Every Divine on the Continent of All-Gods relied on a Clan, possessing a strong background—unless they were as powerful as Bai Yun, the foremost individual beneath the Lords. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before they fell victim to treachery. Many coveted the God’s Seals!

"I understand."

"Just be careful. I have to go back now. Contact me if anything comes up. And if you feel like it, you can come back too. I’ll speak to the upper echelons of the Alliance of All-Gods on your behalf."

"I still think being a Wanderer is better."

Bai Yun smiled. "Actually, I agree with you. A long time ago, I wanted to make you a Wanderer, but I was afraid you might misunderstand at the time."

Bai Yun left, returning to the Continent of All-Gods.

Jiang Chen contacted Jiang Qiu and relayed his conversation with Bai Yun. Jiang Qiu agreed to the request.

「Three days later...」

Continent of All-Gods.

Promotion Hall.

Countless people watched as Jiang Qiu was Upgraded to a Divine. She became a Divine under the command of the Bai Yun Legion.

"That’s Jiang Qiu of the Insect Master Class! I heard she found the God’s Seal of the Law of Devouring and leaped directly to becoming a Divine."

"I’m so envious! Not only has she become a Divine, but she also joined the Bai Yun Legion. The minimum requirement to enter the Bai Yun Legion is Demigod!"

"Yes, Bai Yun is the Sword God, the strongest existence among the Wanderers."

"What Wanderer? Bai Yun is a Divine of the Continent of All-Gods."

"Here she comes."

Jiang Chen stood amidst the crowd, watching Jiang Qiu become a Divine, only then feeling relieved. Beside Jiang Qiu stood Bai Yun’s mother, Divine King Laines.

Divine King Laines peered through the crowd at Jiang Chen, as if to say, How about that? I’ve shown you plenty of respect, haven’t I?

At that moment, Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat. I’ve been discovered? How did Divine King Laines know I was here? He was hidden among the crowd of Wanderers, thoroughly disguised; it should have been impossible for others to recognize him, yet Divine King Laines had spotted him at a glance.

Divine King Laines looked at Jiang Qiu. "Congratulations, Jiang Qiu, on your ascension to the rank of Divine."

"Thank you, Divine King. Praise be to the Divine King."

"Mm. When you have the chance, persuade your brother to also join the Continent of All-Gods."

"Yes."

Divine King Laines continued, "He’s talented, and we on the Continent of All-Gods won’t let a talent slip away, even if he is a Wanderer. My son is a Wanderer too."

Jiang Qiu nodded. Isn’t it good to join the Continent of All-Gods? It seems I’ll have to find an opportunity to persuade my brother in the future.

Jiang Chen was contemplative. How did Divine King Laines know my identity? Could she truly see through everything?

Just then, a bold thought struck Jiang Chen. Is it possible that Bai Yun is actually Divine King Laines’s clone? Holy crap... No way! Who has ever given birth to themselves? Such a thought is too horrifying! Besides, isn’t Divine King Laines a woman? Even if it’s a clone, it should be a woman, right? Giving birth to oneself? This is absolutely impossible.

The Promotion Hall ceremony itself wasn’t much of a spectacle. It was merely a ritual where a Lord officiated for a new Divine, a kind of ennoblement ceremony to announce to everyone: "She is under my protection; none of you are to touch her."

Besides Jiang Qiu, two others also ascended to the rank of Divine, though they were not affiliated with Divine King Laines. The thirteen Lords of the Continent of All-Gods each had their own forces, and these forces combined to form the powerful Alliance of All-Gods Legion.

Jiang Chen turned and left. Better leave first. I need to continue searching for the Law of Destruction!

Currently, with sixty million strands of the Law of Destruction, he had just barely been Upgraded to Demigod; he needed at least one hundred million strands.

Jiang Chen flew towards the Land of Sin, arriving at Augustus City.

After Daphne was Upgraded to a Divine, she had returned to the Defiled God Continent.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Daphne’s voice came through: "Jiang Chen, I’ve investigated thoroughly. I have their exact whereabouts..."
