A Million Years of Secluded Cultivation

"Lord Star, you have become the new Lotus Rock Lord. Within one day, we will inform all eighty-one prefectures of the Nine Nether Region of your information and obtain your battle projection with Lord Ningshuang."

"Are there any messages you need me to relay to the lords of the other eighty islands?"

The eighty-one lords of the Nine Nether Region are the ones chosen by the Netherworld's Death Master to command the planar battlefields.

Only by becoming a Nine Nether Lord does one gain the qualification to lead people into the planar battlefields.

Therefore, every time a Nine Nether Lord is replaced, the manager of the Blood Battle Stage will transmit the new lord's Hundred Battle Projection and their projection of challenging a prefect to the other lords within a day, letting everyone know that the Nine Nether Region has gained another powerful lord.

This way, when everyone is on the planar battlefield, they can also make arrangements to venture together.

Each lord, upon taking office, has a one-time opportunity to communicate unilaterally with the other lords of the Nine Nether Region. The manager of the Blood Battle Stage will deliver the new lord's message, along with their battle projection, to the other Nine Nether Lords.

However, many lords are unaware of this.

All they know is that as soon as they successfully challenge and become the new Nine Nether Lord, their information and battle projection will be circulated on the other ninety islands the next day.

"There's such a thing?"

"Hahaha, this..."

Being stared at by the former lord Ningshuang Garfield, Nelson felt a prickle on his scalp and let out a dry laugh.

"Lord Ningshuang, after you became the lord, you rushed to take over the prefectural city, so I didn't have a chance to tell you..."

"Alright, Garfield, Nelson meant no harm."

Roy slightly raised his left hand, stopping Garfield's intention to make a move on Nelson.

"Yes, Lord Roy."

According to the Master-Servant Contract, Garfield should have addressed Roy as "Master." However, since Garfield was an Asura-level expert, and Roy had no intention of crushing him underfoot, he used soul transmission to allow Garfield to call him by name.

"This, Lord, you see..."

"I'll trouble you, Nelson. Please convey this to everyone: Lotus Rock Island belongs to the Four Divine Beast Family. I hope everyone will give me some face and help look after any disciples of the Four Divine Beast Family they encounter while traveling."

"Understood, understood. I'll get right on it."

After Nelson left, Roy and his entourage, along with people from the Four Divine Beast Family and the former lord's mansion, returned to the lord's mansion on Lotus Rock Island.

With the help of the former lord Garfield, Roy and his group took control of Lotus Rock Island without any resistance.

Afterward, Roy summoned the three leading figures from Garfield's side and the four elders from the Four Divine Beast Family to the main hall of the lord's mansion.

At this moment, Roy sat in the main seat, the four elders of the Four Divine Beast Family sat on the left, and Garfield, Edgar, and Marshall sat on the right.

"Elder Roy."

"Lord Roy."

The ones who addressed Roy as "Elder" were the four elders of the Four Divine Beast Family.

Garfield and the other two addressed Roy as "Lord."

"Alright, now that Lotus Rock Island is under our control, Shirley, I am entrusting the Four Divine Beast Family's affairs entirely to you. You can make your own decisions on anything that is beneficial to the development of the Four Divine Beast Family."

"If you encounter difficulties, you can come to the lord's mansion to find me."

"Yes, Elder Roy."

Shirley respectfully responded to Roy.

Today's battle had convinced them that Elder Roy's strength was not inferior to that of the clan leader.

Having successfully boarded Elder Roy's ship, if they couldn't ensure their branch of the family developed to its fullest, they would be letting down Elder Roy for his trust in them.

"Garfield."

"Lord Roy, please instruct me."

"I will begin secluded cultivation from now on. I will entrust the management of the lord's mansion to you."

"Do not disturb me unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Also, as before, when a Hundred Battle Expert with ninety consecutive wins appears, Edgar and Marshall will go to intercept. For those with ninety-nine consecutive wins, Garfield, you will go."

"If even Garfield is defeated, and a new Hundred Battle Expert challenges the lord, then you can call me."

"Yes, Lord Roy."

"Oh, right, Garfield. Chris is my maid and possesses a Water Element Divine Clone. If she asks you for advice on cultivation, please guide her if you have the time."

"Understood, Lord Roy."

After assigning all tasks, Roy waved his hand, and Shirley, the four elders, and the three from Garfield's side withdrew consciously.

"The matters concerning the Four Divine Beast Family are finally concluded."

"Next, it's time for closed-door cultivation!"

Taking out a Death God Puppet from his spatial ring, Roy dripped a drop of blood onto it. Instantly, the Death God Puppet transformed into Roy's likeness and curiously began to move.

Having killed so many attackers of the Four Divine Beast Family, Roy's current wealth was comparable to that of families that had existed for hundreds of millions of years.

This Death God Puppet was naturally a top-quality item, capable of perfectly carrying Roy's divine power and unleashing strength comparable to a Four-star Devil.

After a brief period of movement, Roy controlled the Death God Puppet to sit in the City Lord's position and withdrew his consciousness.

Following that, Roy opened the Lotus Rock Island Lord's cultivation chamber and began his own training.

These past few years, he hadn't cultivated properly due to matters concerning the Four Divine Beast Family.

From now on, he had to work even harder to make up for this wasted time!

...

Lotus Rock Island had undergone a change!

Well, in reality, it hadn't changed much compared to before.

Lotus Rock Island was still controlled by the Lotus Rock Lord, or rather, by Ningshuang and their group.

What had changed was that a new family had appeared on Lotus Rock Island – the Four Divine Beast Family.

Everyone on Lotus Rock Island was very polite to the Four Divine Beast Family.

After all, it was Star's family. If they offended Star's family, even without Star's intervention, the Prefect's army would teach them a sufficient lesson.

The immortal gods lived at a very slow pace.

Basically, not much would change over hundreds of millions of years.

In the blink of an eye, a million years had passed.

...

"Shelley."

At the Four Divine Beast Family's mansion on Lotus Rock Island, Chris found Shelley.

"Chris, why are you here again?"

"Haha, Shelley, you know as well as I do that I don't really know anyone from the Lord's Mansion, so I come here when I can't find anyone to hang out with."

A million years later, Chris had become a High-level God.

"You..."

Shelley shook her head and said to Chris, "Chris, you are Elder Roy's maid. You must be available whenever Elder Roy needs you. What's it like, running over to our side every day?"

Shelley was reminding Chris.

She was Elder Roy's maid and should prioritize Elder Roy.

Unfortunately, Chris didn't understand the implication behind Shelley's words.
