The Fuse

"Qingya Legion Commander Buweil, greetings, Lord Qingya!"

"Nathaniel Pegg, greetings, Lord Qingya."

Buweil and Nathaniel knelt in the main hall of the Sovereign's palace. The sheer majesty of the hall made Nathaniel swallow hard, sweat beading and dripping from his forehead.

"Rise."

"Yes, Lord Sovereign."

After the two men stood up, that imposing voice spoke again.

"Buweil, is this young fellow the one who said he had matters concerning the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to report to me?"

"Yes, Lord Sovereign."

After responding to Lord Qingya, Buweil gave Nathaniel a meaningful look.

"My Lord Sovereign."

Following Buweil's cue, Nathaniel quickly stepped forward and knelt.

"My Lord Sovereign, my homeland is called the Olasti Plane."

"More than four hundred years ago, when I returned to my home plane, I unexpectedly discovered that my homeland actually had a cultivation academy related to the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods. They called this new method of cultivation 'Magic'."

After speaking, Nathaniel described his views on magic one by one. Finally, he took out four thick magic books from his spatial ring.

"My Lord Sovereign, these are the magic incantations I copied from the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy. I request that my Lord Sovereign review them."

"Present them."

"Yes."

A soldier clad in blue armor emerged from the palace and took the four magic books from Nathaniel, respectfully presenting them before Lord Qingya.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle…"

For a time, the only sound in the entire Sovereign's hall was Lord Qingya flipping through the books.

After a long while…

"So that's how it is. They've broken down the Profound Mysteries of Laws to their absolute limit. Although this makes the Profound Mysteries of Laws incomplete, it greatly reduces the difficulty of cultivation."

"If one cultivates according to this method, the probability of becoming a god will increase by at least fifty percent!"

"Furthermore, it allows one to spread their faith…"

"Hmm? Faith?"

At this point, Lord Qingya paused for a moment.

If his memory served him correctly, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had broken through to Paragon trillions of years ago.

Could faith also allow one to achieve Paragon?

Faith could help Sovereigns comprehend the fusion of the Profound Mysteries of Laws and accelerate the fusion speed. All Sovereigns knew this.

However, after Sovereigns had fused five Profound Mysteries of Laws, faith could no longer help them comprehend the fusion points of a sixth Profound Mystery of Law, leading everyone to believe that this was the limit of faith.

A thought suddenly flashed through Lord Qingya's mind.

Was it possible that the amount of his faith was insufficient, which was why he hadn't been able to comprehend the fusion points of the sixth Profound Mystery of Law?

If he, like the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, possessed the faith of countless material planes, then…

Thinking of this, Lord Qingya's heart burned with desire.

"Buweil."

"Your subordinate is here."

"I need you to send people to various material planes to gather information about 'Magic.' Then, the Qingya Lord God Legion will expand its recruitment."

"As long as they are of the Wind Element and willing to join the Qingya Legion, whether they are Demigods or in the Saint Realm, we will accept them all without discrimination!"

"What they need to do is learn the 'Magic' from these books in the shortest possible time."

Lord Qingya handed one of the four magic books to Buweil.

"Yes, Lord Qingya."

"Nathaniel, your intelligence is very useful to me."

"Tell me, what reward do you desire?"

"It is entirely up to my Lord Sovereign's discretion."

Nathaniel knelt on the ground, overwhelmed with emotion.

"Hmm, let me think…"

Lord Qingya pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "How about this, I'll give you an opportunity."

"From now on, I permit you to recruit for the Sovereign Legion in my name. This legion will be entirely under your command."

"What you need to do is bring the subordinates you recruit to the material planes to spread my faith."

"Do it in the same manner as the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods."

"However, our magic academy must be named 'Qingya Magic Academy'."

"Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

"Very good, I will reward you based on your progress."

"Of course, whether it's Buweil or Nathaniel, I hope you both remain as discreet as possible and don't attract the attention of other Lord Gods."

"Yes, Lord God."

After Buweil and the other exited the Lord God's palace, the Qingya Lord God rubbed the three magic books in his hands, a faint smile appearing on his face.

This world was favoring him.

For tens of millions of years, he had been an ordinary High-level God, but by sheer luck, he had obtained a Lord Godhead and become a supreme Lord God.

During the Lord God Wars, Lord Gods who possessed multiple divine clones hunted down other Lord Gods, aiming to become Dual Lord Gods, or even Triple Lord Gods.

During that period, the number of fallen Lord Gods was immeasurable.

Yet, he had survived. Afterward, the Four Rule Masters explicitly stipulated that High-level Lord Gods could not attack Low-level Lord Gods without cause, allowing Qingya to live a very comfortable life for tens of millions of years.

Now, this world sensed that his strength was not yet sufficient and had specially placed the path to Paragon before him.

What could be more comfortable than becoming stronger while sitting at home?

...

Nathaniel's situation was not an isolated incident.

In fact, as more and more Gods returned to their home planes and saw the statues and magic academies of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, they chose to do the same as Nathaniel.

For the Lord Gods of the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire elements, it was simplest. They directly claimed the fruits of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' billions of years of labor as their own, using their own names to have the soldiers of their subordinate Lord God Legions secretly recruit Gods and Saint Realm experts of the same element to spread faith in the material planes.

As for the Lord Gods of elements other than Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, they had no choice. They could only have their subordinate Lord God Legions recruit personnel of the same element, then go into seclusion to dissect the Profound Mysteries of Laws and turn them into individual magic spells.

These billions of years had undoubtedly been the most peaceful billions of years in the God Planes.

This was because many powerful Gods had been recruited into Lord God Legions by the Lord Gods.

Moreover, the Saint Realm experts at the bottom of the God Planes had also ushered in their spring.

As long as you were of the same element, you could join the Legion of a Lord God of that element.

Every day, countless people traveled to material planes through Planar Teleportation Arrays.

Saint Realm experts and God-level experts coming from material planes to the God Planes or Supreme Planes were quickly recruited by the Lord God Legions of their respective elements.

Among these, many who came to the God Planes had been students or teachers at the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy.

They were the most welcomed by the Lord God Legions of the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire elements.

Logically, having studied magic at the Four Divine Beast Academy, they should have belonged to the Four Divine Beast Lord God Legions.

However, who among those who reached Saint Realm or even God Realm in the material planes did not have an overly inflated sense of self-importance?

Under the generous rewards, some of these individuals still joined the Lord God Legions, betraying their faith.

Of course, the Four Divine Beast Family did not say anything about this.

After all, the ancestor of their Four Divine Beast Family had already become a Paragon High-level Lord God.

For them, the most important ability of the Power of Faith was merely to enhance the soul's defense.

Of course, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were also beginning to research other uses for the Power of Faith.

For instance, that move by the Destiny Master Off that blocked the Destruction Master's innate divine ability?

...

From ancient times to the present, it has always been "one mouth above, legs running below."

The high and mighty Lord Gods would simply issue an order, and the Gods below would be as busy as dogs.

The teleportation arrays of the Seven God Planes and the Four Supreme Planes were congested every day, with queues to travel to material planes lasting several days.

Countless material planes were brought under the control of the Lord Gods.

The faith and majesty of the Lord Gods spread throughout the endless planes.

However, the Lord Gods high above never imagined that the fuse of war had already appeared.

The number of material planes was nearly infinite.

Generally, one could not teleport to a specific material plane without knowing its name; most likely, one would be randomly sent to a material plane.

Thus, in many planes, a scene like this unfolded:

Four Divine Beast Magic Academy: "Classmates, before we learn magic, we must understand who exactly created magic?"

"That's right, it was the high and mighty Lord Gods who created magic."

"Today, we will get to know the four Lord Gods who created the four elemental magic systems: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire."

"Among them, Water element magic was created by the Azure Dragon Sovereign, one of the Four Divine Beasts."

"Wind element magic was created by the White Tiger Sovereign, one of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods."

"Fire magic was created by the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, one of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods."

"Earth magic was created by the Black Tortoise Sovereign, one of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods..."

Qingya Magic Academy: "Fellow students, the Wind Element magic we are learning today was created by the great Wind Element Lord God, the Qingya Lord God..."

Manlu Magic Academy: "Students, today we will learn Earth Element magic, created by the great Manlu Lord God..."

Boer Tie Magic Academy: "Fellow students, you must remember that the Fire Element magic we are all learning today was created by the great Fire Element Lord God, the Boer Tie Lord God. It was the Boer Tie Lord God who bestowed upon us the power to control flames..."

If a material plane had only one magic academy, or magic academies for different elements, it would be fine. Everyone would get along.

But when a material plane had both the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy and magic academies under other Lord Gods, the students would become confused.

One side would say that the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire elements were all created by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

The other side would claim that the magic taught at their academies was created by their respective Lord Gods.

What was even more baffling was that much of the magic taught by both sides was identical.

Members of the Four Divine Beast Family were enraged, yelling at the other Lord Gods for being shameless and plagiarizing the magic created by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, copying it entirely without changing a single word, and then brazenly claiming to be its creators.

It truly lowered the members of the Four Divine Beast Family's understanding of what a Lord God could be.
