Fortunately, now that the EXP Halo had been upgraded to intermediate-level, he could receive three times the EXP. Even if his level had been upgraded, the effect would not be too great.

Therefore, he planned to upgrade to level 200.

However, unlike the other kings and heroes, he still had some hurdles to clear before he could upgrade to level 200.

Li Xiang closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness instantly descended upon the Starlight Shrine. Two items instantly appeared in his hands.

The Frost Law fragment and the Frost Law divinity fragment were both incomplete. However, at this moment, they were flickering with a dazzling light, emitting rays of light that were like chains of laws, and they were currently undergoing some sort of strange fusion with the Starlight Shrine.

[Ding! Law fragment and divinity fragment discovered. Fusing them into the Starlight Shrine will trigger the Starlight Shrine’s evolution to its extreme. Do you wish to fuse?]

Upon hearing the system notification, Li Xiang’s face immediately revealed a smile as if he had expected it.

He had long suspected that this Starlight Shrine of his was very likely a low-rank member of the Divine Kingdom. Through the continuous absorption of laws and divinity, it was able to improve and evolve.

As for the Starlight Shrine, it was his one and only talent. If the Starlight Shrine improved, it was equivalent to him improving himself.

Hence, he chose to fuse it without hesitation.

Immediately, the two points of light in his hands spread out in a volatile manner and quickly fused into the Starlight Shrine.

The last time he broke through from level 100 to level 150, it had already caused some minor changes in the Starlight Shrine. It had become more mysterious and exquisite, but if one did not observe carefully, one would easily overlook it.

However, after absorbing the divinity fragment and the law fragment, the changes were extremely obvious.

“Rumble!”

The entire Starlight Shrine began to emit intense light. The space was expanding, the number of buildings was increasing, and the number of human statues that could be recruited was also increasing.

However, these were not the most important things. The most important thing was that Li Xiang was sitting on the divine throne, and his mind was also receiving a huge amount of information.

This information was all related to the frost power. It allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the Frost Law and the priesthood of divinity.

As long as he was willing, with the hundreds of thousands of Divine Powers he had accumulated, he could immediately ignite the divine fire and step onto the path of a demigod fighting for the Frost Authority.

However, Li Xiang did not care about the so-called Frost Authority at all. He knew that his real future was at the Starlight Shrine, and the authority and priesthood related to the stars. A mere Frost Authority was nothing to him.

However, if he were to step onto the level 200 threshold, he would be on the path to becoming a demigod.

The divine grade was the threshold of becoming a demigod. However, even a demigod had a difference in level and strength, and the improvement was even more difficult and slow. Even if it was just a tiny gap, it was a world of difference in terms of strength.

Therefore, Li Xiang currently had to decide what kind of divine path he would take in the future, whether he would take the shortcut to become a Frost Demigod or take the more difficult path to become a Stars Lord. This was the decision he had to make.

Of course, to Li Xiang, this was no longer something he could hesitate about. Naturally, he would choose the path of the Star Law.

Whether it was his potential, power, or even his position after becoming a god in the future, the Star Law was the best.

Suddenly, Li Xiang recalled that he had obtained the Dark Law fragment from the Lord of Dark’s avatar back in the Azure World. Thus, he also found it and let the Starlight Shrine absorb it.

Instantly, the Starlight Shrine became even more majestic and vast. The divine light continued to spread throughout the space, and it was extremely beautiful.

Li Xiang sat on the divine throne and began to rapidly increase his level. Just as he reached level 200, the system notification immediately sounded.

[Ding! The Lord of Dawn, Li Xiang, has reached level 200. He has triggered the divine path selection and condensed the divine fire of the corresponding law. Please choose from the following options!]

[Star Law]

[Frost Law]

[Dark Law]

Without any hesitation, Li Xiang chose the first option, Star Law.

[Ding! The divine path has been determined. 10,000 Divine Power is required to condense the first wisp of star divine fire. Do you wish to consume it?]

“Yes!”

“Boom!”

In the Starlight Shrine, countless Divine Powers shimmering with starlight gathered from all directions and landed on Li Xiang’s consciousness.

As more and more Divine Powers gathered, Li Xiang looked like he was emitting strange starlight.

At a certain moment, when the star divine power was condensed to the extreme, a spark flashed out from it.

Then, Li Xiang’s consciousness, which was completely enveloped by the star divine power, instantly burned with silver-white flames.

Li Xiang felt an extreme pain that was unbearable.

This was burning the soul!

No! This should actually be a purification of the soul, a sublimation of the soul. Otherwise, how could a mortal body turn into a true god?

And to become a god, the first thing that had to be changed was the soul.

Igniting the divine fire and purifying the soul could be considered a blessing and opportunity.

This kind of pain from within was beyond the limits of what an ordinary person could endure. It was the same for Li Xiang. His entire consciousness was almost burned into an illusion, and he was constantly letting out soundless screams.

No one knew how much time had passed. Maybe it was just an instant, or maybe it was 10,000 years. Li Xiang gradually regained consciousness.

At this moment, his entire consciousness was wrapped in a layer of silver-white flames. Not only did it not cause any harm to him, it even gave him a warm and comfortable feeling.

With just a thought, the flames outside his body of consciousness instantly contracted. Finally, it directly formed a strange silver-white star mark on the forehead of his body of consciousness.

The divine fire did not disappear. Instead, it merged with his soul to become one.

Li Xiang took a deep breath. He could feel that his divine fire was actually very weak. According to the information he had received, 10,000 points of Divine Power could condense into a wisp of divine fire, and 10 wisps of divine fire could condense into a low-rank law. 100 wisps of divine fire were the intermediate-level law, and 1,000 wisps of divine fire were the high-rank law, 10,000 wisps would be a top-rank law.

As for the Star Law, as a top-rank law, the law that needed to be formed would require 10,000 wisps of divine fire, which would require 100 million points of Divine Power.

Although Li Xiang currently had hundreds of millions of people, the amount of faith that he received every day would only be converted into more than 1,000 points of Divine Power. Moreover, not everyone would contribute the power of faith to him.

Therefore, it would take 100,000 days, 200 to 300 years, to completely condense the star divine fire.

This speed of condensing the divine fire was considered very fast among the demigods. Some people would spend thousands of years just to condense the divine fire.

However, for Li Xiang, as long as he continued to expand his territory and increase his population, he would be able to continuously obtain more power of faith, and the Divine Power would naturally accumulate at a faster speed.

However, no matter how fast it was, it would still take a hundred years!
