Hope of Paragon

"What? The fifth brother of the Four Divine Beasts?"

Us Lord God's words stunned Roy.

What in the world had happened?

Roy looked at the other three Lord Gods, but he didn't see any doubt on their faces.

No, not just no doubt, it seemed they were thinking the same thing as Us.

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Roy quickly put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile, "My esteemed Lord Gods..."

"Huh?"

Hearing Roy still address the four of them as Lord Gods, Leding and the other three glanced at Roy sideways, their gazes as if they could pierce him.

"Alright..."

Facing the silent threat of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, Roy raised his hands. "I admit defeat."

"Big Brother Leding, Second Brother Us, Third Brother Nimo, Fourth Brother Bowen."

"Good."

Satisfied, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods nodded.

"Alright, continue."

"Brothers, if you want to acknowledge me as your fifth brother, at least tell me what I've done, right?"

"Haha, we were just too excited and forgot!"

"Sit, sit."

Seeing that the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods genuinely wanted to acknowledge him as their fifth brother, Roy didn't refuse.

After all, in another nine hundred million years, no, to be safe, let's add another hundred million years.

After ten billion years, he would possess willpower comparable to a Lower Lord God, and in a sense, could be considered a "Paragon Lower Lord God."

This was the confidence Roy had to negotiate with the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods as equals.

Roy's composure further delighted the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

It meant that Roy had not only verbally accepted becoming their fifth brother but had also accepted it in his heart.

Otherwise, facing Lord Gods who could easily obliterate him, a Paragon would instinctively feel wary.

However, they detected no such wariness from Roy now, indicating that Roy trusted them implicitly.

"It's like this, Roy. Do you remember ten thousand years ago when you asked us to break down the Profound Mysteries of Laws to a degree that ordinary people could learn?"

"Yes, of course, I remember."

Roy nodded. This was his trump card for the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to seize faith, so how could he forget?

"What, have you completed it?"

"Hahaha, not yet, but we're happier than if we had completed it."

Leding Lord God laughed. "The fusion of our four Profound Mysteries of Laws had already reached a bottleneck. For tens of trillions of years, there hadn't been the slightest progress."

Roy nodded, indicating he knew.

If there were truly no other way, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods wouldn't have placed their hopes of increasing their strength on faith.

"During the process of splitting the Profound Mysteries of Laws, all four of us felt new insights into the fusion of the Profound Mysteries of Laws."

"Currently, we've all successfully found the compatibility points for our sixth Profound Mysteries of Laws!"

Saying this, Leding Lord God looked at Roy with immense excitement.

"Roy, do you know what this means?"

"It means we also have the possibility of becoming Paragon Lord Gods!"

"And we have enough confidence that we won't be stuck at the final step!"

This was Paragon!

Among the more than forty surviving Lord Gods, only Life Sovereign Vivian and Destruction Sovereign Utred were Paragon. The rest were just a bunch of lucky trash.

The Four Divine Beasts put on proud faces (this expression can't be typed, so use your imagination).

Hearing this, Roy smiled.

So that's how it was.

From Linley, over a thousand epochs later, Roy knew that faith could indeed help Lord Gods fuse Profound Mysteries of Laws better and faster. However, the limit of faith was to help Lord Gods completely fuse five Profound Mysteries of Laws.

For the sixth Profound Mystery of Laws, without finding the compatibility point, even with an abundance of faith, it would be useless.

The reason the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods could become Paragon was mainly because they gained new "inspiration" or "spirituality" from the decomposition of the Profound Mysteries of Laws, which allowed them to take this crucial step.

In fact, Roy suspected this was a reward secretly given by Hongmeng to the first batch of Lord Gods who decomposed the Profound Mysteries of Laws.

After all, this was the Magic Universe. Without magic, what kind of Magic Universe would it be?

During the later Faith Wars, the Sovereigns became mere tools.

Magic spread and faith power was collected, but they gained no real benefit.

"Then congratulations to my four elder brothers," Roy said.

"Your youngest brother here will drink first!"

"Hahaha, this is all thanks to your help, fifth brother," Leding Lord God replied.

After much toasting and conversation, all of them felt their bond had deepened considerably.

"Oh, right."

At this moment, Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding slapped his forehead. "Fifth brother, your mind is sharp, and you have plans for your own Lord God Artifact. Please give me some advice. How can I integrate my innate divine ability into my Lord God Artifact?" After speaking, Leding Lord God described to Roy the methods he had previously tried, along with the experimental results he and Nimo Lord God had gathered over the past hundred thousand years.

If Roy hadn't become their "fifth brother," Leding Lord God would rather have spent billions of years researching with his own brothers than swallow his pride and ask Roy.

But now that Roy was their "fifth brother," Leding Lord God had no psychological burden and asked directly if he didn't understand.

"Haha, I have some ideas about this as well," Roy said.

Roy didn't hold back. The Star Bell was his greatest reliance for the future, and he couldn't afford any carelessness.

"Elder Brother Leding, innate divine abilities are unique talents of divine beasts."

"Only the true form of a divine beast can unleash its innate divine ability; none of its divine clones can."

"Therefore, I believe the secret to innate divine abilities should be concentrated in the 'essence blood' of the divine beast."

Roy hadn't researched these things himself.

But this didn't stop Roy from claiming the research results of Destruction Sovereign Utred as his own.

In fact, Utred at this point probably hadn't even thought about researching the innate divine abilities of the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns.

Therefore, Roy's information was unique, like a scorpion's backside – one of a kind.

After Augusta, the Light Sovereign, killed the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns, Destruction Sovereign Utred obtained half of the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood from Beirut. He then experimented with thousands of members of the Four Divine Beast Family and, by successfully using their essence blood, managed to unleash the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns – Time-Space Distortion.

This meant that innate divine abilities were truly hidden within the essence blood of divine beasts.

With the conclusion, it wasn't difficult for Roy to work backward and deduce the process.

The difficult part was that he couldn't experiment.

However, with the experimental data provided by Leding Lord God, it was almost enough.

"Elder Brother Leding, here's what I think. Based on the directions the four elder brothers used to unleash their fused innate divine abilities, you should directly use the essence blood of the four elder brothers to forge the Star Bell."

"The bodies of the four elder brothers are comparable to Lord God Artifacts, and the power of your essence blood is no less than Sovereign Power. By using essence blood for tempering as the primary method and Sovereign Power as a supplement, refining this Lord God Artifact should not be a problem."

"However, this method would consume too much divine beast essence blood for the four elder brothers."

Roy frowned.

Divine beast essence blood was different from ordinary blood. It was the most crucial thing for a divine beast, containing most of its power.

Even though the Four Divine Beasts were Sovereigns, the amount of divine beast essence blood in their bodies did not exceed three hundred drops.

It took a long time to recover even one drop.

But to successfully refine the Star Bell into a Lord God Artifact capable of unleashing the Four Divine Beasts' innate divine abilities, the amount of divine beast essence blood required was not small.

"Hahaha, it's alright, fifth brother," Nimo Lord God said, patting Roy's shoulder. "With our current abilities, we can condense about one drop of essence blood every ten years. Since this divine beast essence blood won't increase if we don't use it, it's perfect for you to forge this Lord God Artifact."

"Don't worry, fifth brother. Just look forward to it – the strongest Lord God Artifact forged by the combined efforts of us Four Divine Beast Sovereigns!"

"Yes, I will look forward to it with great anticipation."

...

"I'm actually... becoming the fifth brother of the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns now?"

After leaving the Sovereign's palace, Roy's mind was still a bit hazy.

He felt his ties with the Four Divine Beast Family were becoming increasingly closer.

"Never mind, I won't think about these things."

"There are still over a thousand cycles until the fall of the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns."

"At that time, I'll see if I have the combat power of a Rule Sovereign. If I do, I'll stop Augusta."

"If not, then I'll just lay low and wait for Linley to deal with Augusta and Off."

"Hmm, in that case, I should discuss with those four nephews and the eldest niece, and have them restrain the behavior of the members of the Four Divine Beast Family, so as to prevent the Four Divine Beast Family from becoming the hated family they are in the future."

"Heh heh..."

Thinking of this, Roy suddenly looked forward to his next meeting with Patriarch Nimo.

He wondered what expression Patriarch Nimo would have on his face the next time he chatted with him as "Fifth Uncle."

He was truly looking forward to it...

Returning to his palace, Roy drank another cup of tea brewed by Shelley before entering the cultivation room again.

Let's get to work!

Only by pushing myself to the limit do I find joy!

When Roy's soul power reached an intensity of 1,150 times, Roy received another divine sense transmission from the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had completed the breakdown of the Profound Mysteries of Laws for the four elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire!

This time, Roy didn't drink Shelley's tea and directly used Elementalization to rush to the Lord God Palace.

"Oh? Fifth brother, this technique of yours is quite interesting."

Seeing Roy's Elementalization for the first time, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods wore curious expressions.

This technique of transforming one's divine body between its physical form and elemental form was so profound.

The four of them couldn't understand it at all.

"It's just a small trick, nothing worth mentioning."

Roy shook his head, not pleased by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' praise.

While Elementalization combined with the Earth Travel Technique was fast for travel, it didn't offer much advantage in combat.

Therefore, Roy didn't think much of it.
