Chapter 171: The Lesser Divine: Duo Dragons - The Power of Clones
The Lesser Divine: Duo Dragons were not bound by the same limitations as ordinary beings. As Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin grew in power, they soon realized that their original forms, though immense, could not be everywhere at once. To achieve the goals set before them by their ancestors and the Divine Triad, they needed to expand their reach — and this could only be done by creating multiple clones.
However, creating these clones came at a cost. Unlike the clones of their ancestors, whose powers were less than a fraction of their creators, the clones of Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin were different. To truly match the expectations of their divine lineage, they needed a substantial portion of their power, even if it meant sacrificing part of their own might.

1. The Power Distribution
The clones of the Lesser Divine were granted 20% of their original body's power. Though this may seem like a substantial amount, it was still a fraction of their true potential. However, with their divine heritage and the blessings from their forefathers, the clones were more than capable of handling the vast responsibilities bestowed upon them.
For every three clones created, a total of 60% of their original power was siphoned from the Lesser Divine. This left their primary forms with 40% of their original power, a notable decrease in their potential. But this trade-off was necessary for the clones to accomplish their missions, and the Lesser Divine understood the importance of their expansion.
Despite the apparent cost, Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin knew that the increased forces within their inner worlds would compensate for the power lost through the clones. The time dilation inside their inner worlds — where one second outside equaled one year inside — allowed them to train and develop their power at an exponentially faster rate.

2. The Expansion of the Inner Worlds
As the Lesser Divine's clones took on their designated tasks, the inner worlds of both Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin continued to grow and evolve. These seven-layered realms became vast landscapes of diverse ecosystems, powerful creatures, and formidable structures that were constantly in motion.
Each layer of the inner world was more than just a stage for development; it was a unique dimension, governed by its own laws and energies. Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin continuously expanded these inner realms, each one contributing to their growth as creators. The time dilation system allowed them to achieve immense feats of creation in what felt like mere moments outside, further accelerating their growth.
With one year inside equaling one second outside, every clone sent into the realms had the opportunity to grow and refine their abilities on a far greater scale than would have been possible outside their inner worlds. The clones used this opportunity to train, fight, and grow stronger, all while being able to return and contribute to the Lesser Divine's ambitions.

3. The Clones' Journey: Growth in Power
Though the clones had only 20% of the original power, their rapid growth within the inner worlds was undeniable. Every minute spent in the layers of their inner realms allowed them to refine their abilities, grow in strength, and increase their connection to their creators' divine essence. The clones developed new powers, mastered ancient techniques, and became formidable in their own right.
As the clones grew, they were sent on different missions in the Abyss, Palace of The Divine Legacy, and Earth, each contributing in their own way to the divine plan. In the Abyss, the first clones continued to battle and collect knowledge. In the Palace, the second clones refined their mastery over divine creation. And in Earth, the third clones subtly guided the development of humanity, ensuring that the world would eventually be prepared for the divine ascension.
The Lesser Divine's power, though divided among the clones, was not weakened by the distribution. Each clone was a reflection of Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin, and as their inner worlds expanded, so too did their creators' influence and strength.

4. The Cost and Reward
While it was true that the Lesser Divine had sacrificed a portion of their original power to create their clones, the reward was more than worth it. Each layer of the inner worlds represented a new avenue of growth. As their clones expanded the power and influence of the Lesser Divine, their real-world growth skyrocketed. The time dilation system allowed the Lesser Divine to create, build, and evolve at speeds far beyond what even their divine ancestors had experienced.
The ultimate goal was not simply to expand their power or influence — but to master creation itself. With the clones gaining strength and becoming more autonomous, Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin were positioning themselves to one day rival the very beings that had once created them: Sung Jin-Woo, Sung Su-Ho, and Ashborn.
In the coming years, their clones would be more than mere extensions of themselves. They would become powerful in their own right, each capable of shaping realities and manipulating energies with precision. And as Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin continued to grow in their understanding of the divine, they would one day stand alongside their ancestors as gods in their own right, their power undiminished by the siphoning of their essence.

5. The Future Awaits
The road ahead for the Lesser Divine: Duo Dragons was long and filled with challenges. Their clones would face threats, and their inner worlds would continue to evolve. But with each passing moment, their power increased exponentially. The Lesser Divine were not bound by the constraints of time or space — they were creators, and in their hands, the future of the universe would unfold in unimaginable ways.
Though their clones had taken a portion of their power, the Lesser Divine knew that this sacrifice was part of the larger plan. The worlds, the realms, and the very fabric of existence would bend to their will, and soon, they would shape a new era of divinity — one that would echo throughout eternity.
