"Don't worry, Shelley."
"Elder Roy only cares about cultivation. For over a million years, even the Death God Puppet in the Lord's Mansion has been sitting in the Lord's seat with its eyes closed. I kindly went to greet him, but he told me to focus on my cultivation and not disturb him unless it's important."
Hearing Chris say this, Shelley shook her head inwardly.
Chris had become Elder Roy's maid when she was still in her teens.
Unfortunately, perhaps because Elder Roy was kind-hearted, he even forgave her for making the path to Paragon tens of millions of times more difficult for him. Although Chris was nominally Elder Roy's maid, she hadn't done any of the things a maid should do because Elder Roy was solely focused on cultivation.
Even, because of Elder Roy, Chris's status had risen, and even her parents had gained the attention of the Vermillion Bird Clan leader.
Furthermore, as Elder Roy's strength and status changed, more and more people fawned over Chris. Over the past million years, Shelley was the one who felt Chris's change in mindset the most. Shelley had subtly pointed things out to Chris a few times, but to no avail. Whether Chris was genuinely foolish or pretending not to understand, Shelley saw no change in her.
"Oh, right, Shelley, I remember it's almost time to send the clan children to the Infernal Realm for bloodline awakening, isn't it? How many people are going this time? Who's leading the group?"
The Four Divine Beast Families were scattered across the seven God Planes. For the past million years in the four Supreme Planes, due to the distance, every hundred thousand years, clan members from various planes who hadn't awakened their bloodlines would be sent back to the ancestral land for awakening.
"There are thirty-four new clan members this century. Among them, twenty-eight are Demigods, two are Gods, and four have slightly inferior talent, currently still at the peak of the Saint Realm."
"As for leading the group, it's my turn this year."
"Wow, then Shelley, can I go back with you?"
Upon hearing that Elder Shelley was leading the group, Chris's eyes lit up, and she asked.
"No."
Hearing Chris's request, Shelley refused without a second thought.
It was a joke. Chris was Elder Roy's maid. Although the trip back and forth would only take a few thousand years, if she took Elder Roy's maid away, what would happen when Elder Roy woke up?
"Shelley, please."
Chris tugged on Shelley's hand, shaking it gently, and looked at Elder Shelley expectantly. "I haven't seen my parents for over a million years. Just this once, okay?"
"After I return to the ancestral land, I'll leave a Divine Clone to accompany my parents. That way, I can be with my parents and not delay taking care of Elder Roy..."
"No, if I say no, it's no."
"Chris, quickly abandon this idea."
Shelley's expression changed instantly, and she shouted at Chris.
Had this girl become so arrogant?
Shelley remembered when she took Elder Roy to meet Tia Nemo, the leader of the Vermillion Bird Clan. Patriarch Tia had said that if Elder Roy didn't like it, he could directly take his maid to awaken his bloodline and become a god in his true form.
This was a gesture of goodwill towards Elder Roy, indicating that the clan had no intention of monitoring or guarding against him.
But what was Chris trying to do? Elder Roy hadn't ruined her future, and yet she wanted to leave a Divine Clone in the clan?
"Chris, I didn't hear anything you said today. You are Elder Roy's maid, so you should hurry back to the Lord's Mansion, lest Elder Roy can't find you when he comes out of seclusion."
After pointing this out to Chris for the last time, Shelley directly sent her out of the encampment.
Then, Shelley immediately ordered those who needed to go to the Infernal Realm for bloodline awakening within this century to gather at the encampment immediately. Once everyone had gathered, they would depart for the Infernal Realm.
Shelley's actions left Elders Ivan, Timothy, and Brandy confused.
"Shelley, isn't there still over a thousand years before the departure time? Why are you gathering everyone so early?"
"Sigh..."
Shelley sighed and explained Chris's situation to the three of them.
"I'm worried that if we wait any longer, Chris will have more ideas."
"So we're leaving early to crush her hopes."
"Timothy, Brandy, you two should also pay attention and prevent Chris from damaging the friendship between Elder Roy and our Four Divine Beast Family."
"This..."
Timothy and Brandy exchanged glances, both showing their difficulty.
Chris was Elder Roy's only maid. If she wanted to do something, how could they dare to stop her?
"Sigh..."
Shelley let out a sigh. "I know this will offend Chris, but you must think of the family. How about this, if Elder Roy blames us later, just push it all onto me."
"Anyway, I'm already on Elder Roy's radar, so I don't care about accumulating more debt."
After a brief discussion, the few of them returned to their rooms to handle clan affairs.
A year later, after all thirty-four clan members who hadn't returned to the Infernal Realm for bloodline awakening within the century had gathered, Shelley took out the Metal Life and led them towards the Undead Sacred Mountain.
In the Lord's Mansion, Chris, with her ice-blue hair, watched the Metal Life fly away, a triumphant smile on her face.
...
In the cultivation chamber, Roy's cultivation had reached a critical juncture.
After a million years of cultivation, Roy's improvement was undeniable.
By the 200,000th year, Roy's soul strength had reached over a hundred times that of an ordinary High-level God, surpassing even those with soul mutations of three Laws.
The enhancement of his soul's essence had accelerated the fusion speed of Roy's Profound Mysteries of Laws.
By the 300,000th year, Roy's soul strength had reached 200 times that of a High-level God, with the Profound Mysteries of Laws for five of the laws having completely merged.
By the 400,000th year, Roy's soul strength had reached 300 times that of a High-level God, and the Profound Mysteries of Laws for six of the laws had begun to merge with each other.
By the 500,000th year, Roy's soul strength had reached 400 times that of a High-level God. Centered around the Profound Mysteries of Laws for the "Gravity Space" law, he successfully completed the first fusion of six Profound Mysteries of Laws, reaching a stage of "suspected Paragon."
This meant that, aside from lacking Willpower, Roy was no different from a Paragon High-God.
After all, a soul 400 times stronger allowed Roy to perfectly control Sovereign Power.
Roy had even tried extracting Sovereign Power from the Ink Stone, and there were still a few wisps of the extracted Destruction Sovereign Power within him from that experiment.
By the 600,000th year, Roy's soul strength had reached 500 times that of a High-level God. Centered around the Profound Mysteries of Laws for the "Earth Element" law, his second move, which perfectly fused the other five Profound Mysteries of Laws, was born.
