After receiving the solution approved by Shelley, the members of the Four Divine Beast Family were all overjoyed.
They had long been displeased with those liars.
But since it concerned a Lord God, they did not dare to act privately.
Upon receiving the highest directive from their family, they immediately investigated the strength difference between both sides and launched a lightning war against the magic academies built by other Lord Gods in the same plane. In the shortest amount of time, they killed all the deans, teachers, and other staff of these academies.
Finally, with heavy hearts, they mourned the deans and teachers of these academies and, with great reluctance, accepted the students from these academies, allowing them to join the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy and begin learning magic from the very beginning.
Notably, they also documented the deeds of other Lord Gods who had plundered the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' hard-earned achievements and claimed them as "their own" in the introductory classes of the magic academies.
"Well, these are all important points, and they will be tested upon graduation! (Highlight this!)"
Due to intelligence suppression, the members of the Four Divine Beast Family basically left no loose ends.
Even if Lord Gods noticed a decrease in the Power of Faith they received, they would only attribute it to their subordinates' incompetence, never suspecting that many of them had their Godheads turned into spoils of war by the members of the Four Divine Beast Family.
Under Shelley's coordination, the Four Divine Beast Family suffered no losses and quickly eliminated the subordinates of other Lord Gods encountered in the planes.
After all, any member of the Four Divine Beast Family who was qualified to go to the material plane to teach magic and spread faith was at least a God-level expert with a Divine Clone. In contrast, the subordinates of those other Lord Gods, due to massive recruitment, were mostly at the Saint Realm, with only a small portion being God-level.
In most cases, the deans of the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy could handle matters themselves.
Occasionally, when encountering Gods or High-level Gods, they could annihilate them completely by using Sovereign Power.
Only when they encountered High-level Gods whose strength was uncertain would they return to the family for reinforcements via the Planar Teleportation Array.
As Roy had predicted, many of the planes where the Four Divine Beast Family had previously established magic academies were also attacked by the forces under these other Lord Gods.
Some of them even had their academies directly occupied.
Upon learning from deities who entered the God Plane from these planes that the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy had been attacked by the forces under other Lord Gods, the Sovereign Legions of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were dispatched directly, with teams of five, to eliminate the invaders in these planes.
However, it is said that even those who walk by the river often get their feet wet.
When God-level experts who still possessed Divine Clones or their true Saint Realm bodies in other planes were ambushed and killed by members of the Four Divine Beast Family in the material plane, this news could no longer be concealed.
For a time, wars erupted in countless planes.
The Four Divine Beast Family, on its own, fought against the forces under more than twenty Lord Gods from the elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, igniting a series of wars.
Especially at this time, other Lord Gods had progressively completed the splitting of Profound Mysteries of Laws, compiled them into magic of various elements, and began to enter the fray.
In the vast expanse of billions of material planes, the situation immediately became even more chaotic!
...
Roy shook his head as he looked at the intelligence report submitted by Shelley.
At this moment, the intensity of Roy's soul power had reached over nine thousand times.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to increase his soul power to ten thousand times within a hundred million years, form a Soul Golden Core, and allow his Willpower to fully reach the level of a Lord God.
But now, in billions of material planes, in the struggle for faith, any encounter between the forces under different Lord Gods resulted in a battle to the death.
The Four Divine Beast Family, among these Lord God forces, was considered a behemoth.
Fighting against the forces under more than twenty Lord Gods from the four elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, it held its ground.
Even under Shelley's command, the Four Divine Beast Family had the upper hand in the war.
However, Lord Gods from all eleven elements had now begun to enter the fray.
The Four Divine Beast Family, as the most powerful force below the Lord Gods, was subjected to more ambushes from the forces under other Lord Gods.
In the past ten thousand years, the losses incurred by the Four Divine Beast Family were comparable to those of the previous hundreds of millions of years.
"Shelley, issue a directive that from now on, any family members going to the material plane to spread faith must have their Divine Clones in the God Plane."
"Once they encounter danger, they must immediately request help from the family."
"Yes, Lord Roy."
Returning to the main hall, Shelley relayed Roy's orders. Soon, these deities with Divine Clones passed Shelley's command throughout the entire Four Divine Beast Family via their Divine Clones.
"I never expected that even Six-star Devils would start participating now."
Roy had originally planned to cultivate in seclusion until he broke through, but the speed and intensity of the faith struggle in the material planes made even Roy tremble slightly.
"It seems my breakthrough will have to be postponed for a while longer."
Roy did not know how long this faith war, which affected the entire Coiling Dragon Universe, would last.
The Four Divine Beast Family was a large and powerful entity, lacking no strength in its lower and middle tiers.
The fact that it had been able to hold its own against the Lord God forces under four Lord Gods for hundreds of millions of years by relying on a single family demonstrated this point.
However, in terms of top-tier combatants, the Four Divine Beast Family was still too weak.
Currently, except for the four Rule Overlords who had not yet entered the fray, the forces under seven Law Overlords, six Mid-level Lord Gods, and twenty-three Low-level Lord Gods had all entered the billions of material planes.
Among these, the commanders and vice-commanders of each Sovereign Legion were at least Asura Prefect level experts, with vice-commanders being at least very powerful Seven-star Devils. Some Lord Gods even had vice-commanders of their Sovereign Legions who were Prefect-level cultivators.
With thirty-six Sovereign Legions, there were at least thirty-six Asura Prefect-level experts.
Coupled with the Lord God Emissaries under the Lord Gods, who were at least Seven-star Devils at the very least, those possessing Lord God Artifacts were not much weaker than Asura Prefects without them.
Counting carefully, at least nearly a hundred Asura Prefect-level experts were participating in this faith war.
Considering this, the Four Divine Beast Family's only six Commander-level experts weren't much of a match.
No, it could even be said they were completely outmatched.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Roy didn't dare to break through.
According to the rules Hong Meng established in the magic universe, Lord Gods were not allowed to enter material planes.
Otherwise, it would cause the material plane to collapse, and then, any Lord God entering the material plane would be considered an invader and face annihilation by the supreme rules.
Only Lord Gods native to a material plane would be accepted by it.
Roy was born in the Saint Realm, and he wasn't sure if, after forming his soul golden core, the material plane would consider him a Lord God invasion and cause the entire plane to collapse.
Roy didn't dare to take that gamble.
Without an advantage in top-tier combat power, Roy's "invincible" Paragon had much greater deterrence.
This made the Emissaries under those Lord Gods, and the Commanders of the Sovereign Legions, when encountering the Four Divine Beast Family's six Commander-level experts in material planes, at most repel them, but not dare to kill them.
On one hand, all six of Gaisleith's group were children of Lord Gods, with Lord God backing.
On the other hand, Roy's invincible Paragon deterrence was also strong enough.
After all, Roy had no restrictions from a Lord God and could freely enter material planes.
If Roy were to be provoked, and he wiped them all out, who would they complain to?
In the hundred-meter-sized small plane above the Azure Mansion, the five experts who had gathered three sets of Lord God Artifacts were still being put on display for everyone to see.
Not to mention, whether it was experts who wanted to witness the might of Paragon or simply those who wanted to watch the show, they all made a pilgrimage to Azure Mansion.
Well, in some aspects, Elvis and the other four had also fulfilled their wishes and become people known to all.
...
"Boom!"
Gaisleith struck down with his palm, and the space of the material plane directly developed a spatial rift over a hundred meters long. The yellow-haired elder opposite him was killed with a single palm strike from Gaisleith.
"Sigh..."
After killing the enemy, Gaisleith didn't feel any joy.
On the contrary, his mood was heavy.
Beneath his feet was the ruin of an academy.
In the ruins, the statue of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had been destroyed, replaced by a statue of a young male Lord God.
"Qingya Lord God..."
The Four Divine Beast Magic Academy in this plane was established by clansmen of the Four Divine Beast Family who were Gods.
Before this, these four God clansmen had opened up faith for the family in hundreds of thousands of material planes.
But they never expected that in this plane, they would encounter the Great Captain of the Qingya Sovereign Legion.
A Great Captain of a Sovereign Legion had at least Six-star Wind Hunter level strength.
The moment they encountered the powerful enemy, these four clansmen had already transmitted the message through the Divine Clones they had left in the family.
At that time, Gaisleith happened to be free, so he rushed to this plane.
Under normal circumstances, members of the Four Divine Beast Family who possessed Sovereign Power could at least hold on until Gaisleith arrived.
However, over these countless years, many soldiers of the Sovereign Legions, having completed numerous tasks assigned by their Lord Gods and harvested a lot of faith for them, had received rewards bestowed by their Lord Gods.
For Lord Gods, Sovereign Power, which could significantly enhance the strength of their subordinates and was easily accessible, was the best and most convenient reward.
Unfortunately, this Six-star Devil Great Captain had a few drops of Wind Element Sovereign Power in his hand.
As a result, before his arrival, the Divine Clones of these four juniors of the family were killed, and the academy they established was destroyed...
Although he eventually killed this Six-star Wind Hunter, the strongest Divine Clones of these four clansmen were gone.
Gaisleith didn't know if this exchange was worth it.
However...
He was the Patriarch of the Four Divine Beast Family!
"The Four Divine Beast Family has never feared a challenge!"
"If they want to fight, we'll fight them!"
"However long they want to fight, we'll accompany them!"
"Until no one dares to provoke our Four Divine Beast Family anymore!"
