Arrangements

Roy had left the palace some time ago, and the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were still staring blankly at the "Star Bell" Roy had left behind.

Over the years, they had refined quite a few Lord God Artifacts.

But they had never felt so speechless as they did today.

What was a Lord God Artifact, anyway? Wasn't it just a matter of casually taking a Divine Artifact into one's body and nurturing it with a vast amount of Sovereign Power for billions of years?

What Lord God Artifact had a talent divine ability?

But who could blame them? After hearing what Roy had said, they had become full of ambition and promised Roy that they would definitely refine this Lord God Artifact for him successfully.

"Big Brother, how do we do this?"

Lord God Bowen scratched his head. If he were asked to casually forge a Lord God Artifact, that would be no problem.

But when it came to forging a Lord God Artifact with a talent divine ability, he couldn't even find a starting point.

Lord God Leding stroked his chin. As the eldest brother among the Four Divine Beasts, Lord God Leding was not only the strongest but also the most intelligent of the four.

"I have a slight idea."

Lord God Leding stroked his chin. "I have to say, Roy's mind is truly sharp to be a Paragon High-God."

"For so many years, we never thought of forging a Lord God Artifact with a talent divine ability, yet Roy was able to conceive of it. Perhaps this is 'spirituality'."

"Oh."

Hearing that Lord God Leding had an idea, Lord God Bowen immediately stood up and yawned. "Then, Big Brother, you go ahead and do it. Teach me how to do it when you succeed. I'm going to sleep first."

"And Pash, why did you have to disturb my sleep for no reason..."

With that, Lord God Bowen's figure flickered, and he disappeared to find a place to sleep.

"Big Brother, do you really have an idea?"

Lord God Us asked.

Even Lord God Nimo turned his gaze to Lord God Leding.

"Yes, in the past, we nurtured Lord God Artifacts simply by using Sovereign Power. Therefore, the Lord God Artifacts we refined had power comparable to that of Sovereign Power."

"Talent divine abilities are unique abilities that combine the soul and bloodline of a Divine Beast. Since that's the case, nurturing a Divine Artifact with Divine Beast essence blood and soul power has a high probability of nurturing a Lord God Artifact that can use talent divine abilities."

Speaking of which, Leding looked at the bell Roy had left behind and couldn't help but smile. "Coincidentally, the talent divine abilities of our Four Divine Beasts all aim to influence time, space, and the soul through sound. I've seen the way Roy fights using this Star Bell; he also uses sound to cast Profound Mysteries of Laws. Perhaps, we can really create a new type of Lord God Artifact."

"At that time, if each of us four brothers had one, with talent divine abilities that we could use consecutively, hehe, we might even stand a chance against those four."

"I'll try this Divine Artifact first. Once I succeed, I'll teach you how to do it."

"Alright."

...

Leaving the palace of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, Roy returned to his own palace in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.

It was only then that Roy realized that he had been carrying Douglas's head while chatting with the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods earlier.

Did this guy have too low a presence?

No!

Roy shook his head. It wasn't that Douglas had a low presence; it was simply that neither Roy nor the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had treated Douglas as a person.

Ants were the easiest to overlook.

In the eyes of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and Roy, Douglas was just an ant, not worth a second glance.

Douglas was also sensible. During the conversation between Roy and the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, he had played the role of a head ornament.

He casually tossed it aside, and Douglas's head rolled a few times on the ground. The ground, untouched by cleaning for millions of years, was covered in dust. This dust clung to Douglas's wounded head, making it look no different from something picked out of a garbage heap.

Ignoring Douglas's performance, Roy waved his sleeve, and the dust in the palace instantly vanished.

Sitting in the main seat, Roy spoke coldly.

"Recover quickly. I have something to ask you."

Hearing Roy's words, Douglas did not dare to delay. He immediately used a large amount of divine power to restore his divine body.

However, Douglas only recovered his divine body from the neck down. The injuries to his head had not healed.

He knew that he had killed one of the maidservants' Divine Clones. Only by making himself look more pathetic would his chances of survival be greater.

"Lord Roy, please ask."

"Are you a Divine Beast?"

Divine Beasts, in the world of Panlong, were extremely rare and powerful creatures.

They were conceived by heaven and earth. Upon reaching adulthood, they could fully comprehend one Profound Mysteries of Laws to become a god and possess talent divine abilities.

Because of their power, they were rare.

Even though most members of the Four Divine Beast Family had talent divine abilities, in reality, the only true Divine Beasts were the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

Even the children of Lord Gods like Gaisleith only possessed "Divine Beast Bloodline," and their talent divine abilities could only be used after awakening their Divine Beast Bloodline in the "Bloodline Awakening Pool."

Possessing talent divine abilities did not necessarily mean one was a Divine Beast.

However, Divine Beasts will possess innate divine abilities.

"Yes, Lord Roy, this humble one is the Divine Beast Death Scorpion. My innate divine ability is 'Soul Devouring Poison Needle,' which can corrode souls. Even ordinary High-level Gods with soul-defending Divine Artifacts cannot withstand my innate divine ability. Their souls will be completely corroded and they will die."

Douglas had never fawned over anyone, but in front of Roy, he spontaneously learned the attitude his bandit subordinates had towards him, mastering it perfectly.

"So, do you want to die or live?"

"I want to live, Lord Roy, this humble one wants to live."

Upon hearing that he could live, Douglas's head banged on the ground like a drum.

The birth, aging, sickness, and death of mortals seem very ordinary, and everyone can accept it.

But there are always some people who, the longer they live, the more they fear death.

Clearly, Douglas was such a person.

"Very good."

"You killed one of my maid's Divine Clones. Later, you will directly sign a master-servant soul contract with my maid and become her slave!"

...

Because they encountered a Lord God, Roy and Shelley's group parted ways halfway.

Roy was brought back to the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range by Lord God Bowen in a little over ten minutes, while Shelley and the others flew for over a hundred years on the continent before returning to the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.

"Hahahaha, see? This is where Lord Roy and I live."

After returning to Azure Mansion, Shelley wanted to settle the family members who had come a thousand years early for the Bloodline Awakening in Azure Mansion, but Chris waved her hand and directly led the remaining thirty family members through Azure Dragon Valley to Roy's palace.

"Miss."

Douglas stood at the palace entrance, bowing with a smile.

"You're actually still alive?"

Seeing Douglas, Chris's eyebrows shot up. She had told Elder Roy long ago to kill this guy for her, so why was he still alive after more than a hundred years?

"Uh..."

Douglas's mouth twitched, and he suddenly regretted it.

If he became this woman's subordinate, would he have any good days ahead of him?

It would probably be better to just die.

"Alright, Chris, how he's dealt with is Elder Roy's business."

"Let's go in and pay our respects to Elder Roy first."

"Hmph!"

Hearing Shelley say that, Chris snorted, "Fine, for Elder Shelley's sake, I'll let you off this time."

"Let's go, everyone. I'll take you to see Lord Roy and give your thanks. This might be your only chance in this lifetime to meet the invincible Paragon High-level God."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all thanks to Miss Chris. Otherwise, let alone meeting Lord Roy, we probably wouldn't even be worthy of knowing Lord Roy's name."

"Good, you know your place."

Chris held her head high and led them into the palace.

Shelley let out a sigh.

Ever since Elder Roy became a Paragon, Chris had stopped calling her "Sister Shelley" and had been calling her "Elder Shelley."

Shaking her head, Shelley followed behind everyone.

She had already prepared herself. No matter how Roy punished her, she was willing to accept it.

"Lord Roy."

"Lord Roy."

Upon entering the palace, everyone except Chris, including Shelley, kowtowed to Roy.

"You've arrived."

Hearing everyone's greetings, Roy slowly opened his eyes.

"Douglas."

"Lord Roy, this humble one is here."

"I'll be leaving for a bit. Please take care of these youngsters from the family."

"As you command, Lord Roy."

"Young sirs, please come this way."

Looking at Douglas, those who had been robbed by Douglas felt a sense of dread.

But under Elder Roy's authority, they dared not say anything more and all got up to follow Douglas.

"Chris, Shelley, you two, come with me to the Vermillion Bird Clan."

"Yes, Lord Roy."

"As you command, Lord Roy."

Upon hearing they were going to the Vermillion Bird Clan, a smile touched Chris's lips.

She hadn't seen her parents in over a million years and wondered if they missed her.

Shelley, on the other hand, sighed.

It was her greatest misfortune to have implicated her kin, and she hoped her parents could endure it.

Perhaps because they all had matters on their minds, none of them felt time passing slowly. When they came to their senses, they had already arrived at the Vermillion Bird Clan leader's palace.

"Hahaha, Elder Roy, I've been waiting for you here for over a hundred years!"

Tia Nemo walked out of the palace to greet Roy. He knew from his father that Roy had become a Paragon, and in terms of status and strength, he was no match for him.

"Thank you for your trouble, Clan Leader Tia."

Roy and Tia Nemo were old acquaintances, so Roy didn't stand on ceremony with him.

"Lord Roy, may I go see my parents?"

At this moment, Chris suddenly spoke, "My lord, I haven't seen my parents in over a million years..."

Tia Nemo frowned. This maid seemed a bit off?

What kind of maid would clamor before their master had even entered the host's home?
