“Perhaps besides practicing the Martial Spirit, it would be good for me to also frequently train my divine soul to get used to being used in this universe,” murmured Julius.
Julius felt that his current body was truly at the lowest level of reincarnation he had ever experienced. Although somewhat disappointed, he was grateful because he still had the chance to rise again and become a god. However, with his current physical condition being so weak, becoming a god again would be very difficult. Besides needing to exert great effort, he also needed a miracle to reach that godly level.
Julius waited for Amara Gold, who was practicing elemental control, for quite some time. He knew that the girl was currently on the land of the water element until the land of the water element began to dim its light. Then the girl moved to the land of the thunder element, where her power increased. Julius also knew that Amara Gold had now moved to the land of the thunder element to practice. He then reopened the book left by the Tiberius family, which had been given to him.
After finishing reading the contents of the Tiberius family’s legacy book, Julius concluded that the abilities possessed by the Tiberius family were actually not below the abilities of the people in the Tower of God Academy. He was even very sure that if a Tiberius family member were to master the entire contents of the book, their power would compete with the Headmaster of the Tower of God Academy, who was currently in the realm of semi-gods.
The contents of the Tiberius family’s legacy book had been memorized and understood in essence by Julius. However, he still couldn’t directly practice all the contents of the book. His current weaknesses were truly the biggest obstacles to his progress. Julius’s rough body simply couldn’t compromise. If the young man took even a small step to a higher level, he would feel excruciating pain that would deter him from continuing.
The biggest risk for Julius if he dared to continue cultivating or mastering other strength techniques was the destruction of his rough body. If that happened, Julius would automatically die, which meant the light god’s soul would perish. He certainly didn’t want to waste the opportunity given by the heavens to reincarnate once again as a human. Although achieving his goal of becoming a god again required hard work that wasn’t easy.
While waiting for Amara Gold to finish her training, Julius tried the floating and flying techniques taught by Master Kaelen Frostfire earlier. With ease, the young man practiced what his Master had taught him. He floated up to 10 spear-lengths from the ground. He continued to do so until he was in the middle of the elemental land. Or rather, he was now across the fourth elemental land.
In his place, Julius once again practiced elemental control techniques with the techniques he possessed. Initially, there was no reaction until he continued to do so and concentrated until suddenly all seven elemental lands reacted. Suddenly, from these seven elemental lands, the power of each element burst forth and entered Julius’s body. He tried to harness this energy with the elemental control technique he possessed. However, this time the result was the same; the elemental control he performed didn’t react at all, even though he used the Emperor of Light God’s control technique that he had created in the past.

Julius couldn’t hide his disappointment. He then returned to the front of the elemental control detection mirror. The young man leaned back against the mirror, propping up his legs. Slowly, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes to rest. Before long, he had fallen asleep in front of the mirror of the gods.
A few moments later, suddenly a black light radiated from Julius’s body. This light triggered the reaction of the seven elements. From the glow on Julius’s body, it was evident that the black light was a manifestation of the dark element. Julius woke up because he felt his body burning hot. As he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find the entire place dark except for the seven elemental lands above.
Julius tried to harness the power of the dark element emanating from his body. He didn’t want the intense darkness to destroy him, so he concentrated hard to pull back the power of the dark element, preventing it from emanating further. He used various seals to suppress this power.
Julius’s condition worsened. He was increasingly unable to contain the torrent of the dark element flowing from his body. With the strength of his soul, he tried to overcome his extremely dire situation. Fortunately, at that moment, the seven elemental lands suddenly seemed to send their respective powers to Julius. Utilizing this power, Julius managed to suppress the power of the dark element so that it no longer flowed and radiated from his body.
Having successfully overcome the dire situation he had experienced earlier, Julius finally lost consciousness. He collapsed right in the middle of the jade stone floor. Meanwhile, the condition of the seven elemental lands returned to normal, no longer emitting power that had been sent to Julius’s body. Not long after, Amara Gold finally appeared in front of the mirror of the gods, right in front of Julius who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Amara Gold looked at the young man in front of her. She thought Julius was deeply asleep at that moment. She observed his regular and gentle breathing. Unlike most people who fainted, their breaths were often irregular and weak.
Amara Gold shook her head at Julius’s condition. She thought the young man was lazy and not making use of the place as a training ground. She then moved away from the mirror of the gods and continued to practice her elemental control techniques not far from there. Amara Gold’s progress was truly commendable; in a short time, she was able to control the elements well.
Julius remained unconscious for quite some time. After a while, he began to regain consciousness and sat where he had fainted earlier. His gaze fell upon Amara Gold, who was still practicing elemental control techniques and seal mantras taught by Master Kaelen Frostfire. Julius didn’t immediately greet the girl or approach her. He still felt his head heavy and his vision blurry due to the incident that had befallen him earlier.
