Draco was shocked speechless. He shook his head and quickly checked the leaderboards for the Impossible Mode to confirm something.
｢Divine Trial Leaderboards
Level 1 Impossible Mode Rankings:
1. True God Draco
2. True God Overlord
3. True God World Destroyer
4. True God Divine Might
Rewards will be privately sent to each True God accordingly upon refresh.｣
Draco cursed and began to sweat. His body trembled as he was filled with endless regret. He had believed that given how many fucking years it has been since the start of the Divine Trial, there would be at least a few blokes who could clear this Impossible Mode.
However, he had clearly overestimated the quality of True Gods and underestimated the difficulty of the Impossible Mode with all its restrictions. Now, he had upset the balance of things!
He wasn't sure whether there was an announcement about his achievement that would make himself into a celebrity in the Divine Realm. Usually announcements were done by the AI for the sake of informing the players rather than the NPCs.
Nevertheless, if anyone just happened to check the leaderboard, they would find his name in first place. Once that happened, it wouldn't take long until everyone would be on the lookout for him.
This made Draco pale greatly. He exchanged thoughts with Shuangtian and Eva rapidly, and the trio came to the conclusion that he should quit his climb of the Divine Trial and rush into the Divine Realm.
As long as Draco could successfully sneak in and establish a foothold, everything after would be negotiable. But before he left, he better clear his account and power himself up as much as he could in case he encountered anything.
As such, Draco first decided to consume the so-called spins he had just gained. Once he chose to redeem them, a new screen appeared before him, with a gacha wheel in the center as if he was playing some anime mobage.
There were drawings of cute anime boys and sexy anime girls in sparse clothing who were posed very questionably, their expression vivid and their eyes seeming to call out to the viewer to spin more. Their extremely endowed forms added that air of reckless microtransaction purchases while sweating heavily, screaming to the RNG Gods for favor.
There were ten slots, five Divine, three Semi-Origin and two Origin. Draco checked out each of the rewards he could get.

Draco's lips twitched. He had thought the AI would cheapen out as usual, but got dang!!! It had really slapped Draco in the face this time, and in a good way. After all, these were rewards for the Impossible Mode, if they were shoddy, why would anyone work hard?
Draco had only 10 chances to draw so he did not waste time and drew immediately. He saw the wheel spin and then slowly stop on the Pantheon Establishment Token. After that, it continued spinning each time and then stopped at different areas.
｢Congratulations on receiving the follow items from the draw:
1x Pantheon Establishment Token
6x Divine Essence Cluster
2x Origin Crystal Bundle
1x Angelic Dao Source.｣
Draco was speechless. He didn't even know whether to be angry or toe be furious. Ultimately, he settled for both. Alas, his endless rage did nothing to sway the AI this time. Darling he might be, but it still had to maintain some balance forcefully, even if it meant thoroughly offending him.
As such, he could only sigh and effect his plans first. First things first, all his Trial Score was converted to Divine Essence, resulting in a total of 1,156,000 Divine Essence. Split between the three of them, each one gained 395,333 Divine Essence.
Added to their previous balance of 33,030, that was now 415,363 Divine Essence. Enough to raise 41 Basic Laws to the Intermediate grade or 4 Intermediate Laws to the Advanced grade!
However, that was not enough, as Draco opened all 6 of his Divine Essence clusters. Luckily for him, the RNG on them was based on the Luck stat, and with his Luck at such nonsensically high amounts, he practically gained 6,000,000 Divine Essence on the spot.
Divided by three and blah blah, the final balance was 2,415,363. This was enough to take 241 Basic Laws to the Intermediate grade or 24 Intermediate Laws to the Advanced grade or 2 Advanced Laws to the Master grade!
As for why Draco would still share with Eva and Shuangtian at this stage, it was the obvious choice to make. Firstly, the trio had different skills, so when those skills were used, they would grant different and unique Laws, allowing them to patch up the holes in each other's lineups.
Secondly, if they gave a gap between each other, the carefully kept power balance between them would start to wobble and shake. That would lead to Draco and Eva getting funny ideas and then another 3-week battle in stopped time would happen and…
Sigh, none of them wanted to go through that again.
Thirdly, and the most important reason, just because they weren't with Draco now, did not mean that they could not appear by his side. In the case of a critical situation, they would naturally appear by his side. In the case that he had kept all the Divine Essence and all the Laws to himself, the help his two Soulmates would be able to render would be limited.
Draco was to handle the Divine Realm stuff on his own, but he had two hidden trump cards he could call on at any time in the form of his wives. If his wives were not at least as powerful as him, would they really be trump cards?
Draco looked through his Laws and decided to make upgrades immediately. Since he was going to be doing a bit of investment, it was time to add more Laws to his plate. As such, he activated a select few skills he had kept on standby because he wanted to acquire their Laws later.

Looking through them, along with those he already had, Draco naturally made the best choice for him. He first took the Law of True Destruction straight from Basic right up to the Master stage. This cost a total of 1,110,000 Divine Essence, leaving him with 1,305, 363.
With this Law at the Master stage, Draco could now fight any Master Law and below True God NPC or monster since the Law of True Destruction was from the Omega skill. It embodied the power of Destruction and its energy, so it was naturally the number 1 offensive ability.
No defensive ability or Law could stand up to it. Even those at the True Law rank and above would have to treat Draco with caution. This was a Law exclusive to Black Dragons or True Gods of Destruction like Caelo, so Draco was certain that less than 3 people in the entire Divine Realm could possess it.
There was a 99.99% chance that he was the only one even.
As for his second choice, he decided to take the Law of Attack Velocity, the Law of Movement Velocity and the Law of Damage Avoidance to the Advanced grade. Since they were all Basic Rank Laws at the moment, it cost a total of 330,000 Divine Essence.
As for why he chose these three, it should be obvious enough. With his remaining Divine Essence, he decided to raise the Law of Vitality Appropriation, the Law of Spirit Suppression, the Law of Soul Defense, the Law of Vitality Restoration, the Law of Item Replication and the Law of Energy Restoration to the Intermediate grade from Basic.
This only cost 60,000 Divine Essence and left Draco with 915,363. He kept it in hand in case he wanted to take another law to the Master Rank or managed to gather enough to take his Law of True Destruction to the True Law.
After doing all of this, he checked his character sheet one more time.
