Roy's heart grew tense with the change in his Godhead.
He hoped the most crucial function of his Godhead would still be usable.
Otherwise, he might become the first Lord God unable to extensively use Sovereign Power.
At present, Roy mobilized the soul power from his Soul Golden Core and, through the connection of his Godhead, entered the Elemental Sea.
Within the Elemental Sea, the world's elements were so dense they were almost liquid.
Beneath the liquid world elements lay the endless Sea of Divine Power.
The deeper one went into the Sea of Divine Power, the purer and more potent the divine power became.
Basically, for every ten meters deeper, the divine power's might doubled.
The depth to which Roy's soul power could penetrate the Elemental Sea determined the level of divine power he could absorb.
Roy's soul power, like a searing brand, rapidly sank into the Elemental Sea.
Ten meters, twenty meters, a hundred meters…
In less than a breath, Roy's soul power pierced through the Sea of Divine Power of a Demigod and reached the region of a God.
The Sea of Divine Power in this region could not stop Roy's soul power from descending further.
Two hundred meters, three hundred meters…
Roy's soul power reached the deepest part of the Sea of Divine Power of a High-level God.
Beyond this lay the very bottom of the Elemental Sea.
Flowing there was Sovereign Power, exclusive to Lord Gods!
However, below three hundred meters, Roy's soul power encountered immense resistance.
Every millimeter deeper caused tremendous pressure on his soul power.
Still, Roy's soul power had already formed a Soul Golden Core, making him arguably the first person in the magical universe.
This pressure was still within Roy's tolerance.
Finally, Roy's soul power broke through this barrier and came into contact with the boundless Power of the Earth High God…
A thousand years later, Roy opened his eyes.
"Fortunately, the absorption speed of Sovereign Power is similar to that of divine power. It took a thousand years to fill my divine body."
"However, my Godhead is not a Lord Godhead after all. The Sovereign Power I can store will only be enough to repair my divine body a few times."
"It seems I'll need to be careful in future battles and avoid close combat as much as possible. If the Sovereign Power is depleted and I'm exposed, it'll be over."
Roy never hesitated to assume the worst of others.
People's hearts and human nature could not withstand scrutiny.
And the price for that would be becoming a test subject for Destruction Sovereign Utred or Destiny Sovereign Off?
Roy dared not gamble at all.
With a thought, Roy's divine body, seated on the divine throne, dispersed into countless elements.
...
In Roy's palace within the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range, besides Shelley, Atley, and Nathaniel, there were now over thirty more people.
Under Shelley's command, these individuals were systematically sorting and organizing intelligence, placing it into the library according to established patterns.
"Lord Shelley, there's a plea for help from the Audu Plane."
At this moment, a girl who looked about a dozen years old rushed forward, holding a piece of paper, and presented it to Shelley with both hands.
"Audu Plane?"
Shelley took the paper and searched her memory. She then recalled.
The Audu Plane was a plane where a branch of their family had sent people to collect faith over a thousand years ago. She remembered that several geniuses had emerged in that plane at the time, and within a mere six hundred years, the family members dispatched then had mentored four individuals to the Saint Realm before retiring.
"Winnie? The Dean of the Black Tortoise Branch?"
"A thousand years ago?"
Shelley's expression suddenly changed.
According to this Dean of the Black Tortoise Branch from the Audu Plane, she had arrived in the Saint Realm a thousand years ago. However, the planar teleportation array she used was located in the Sea of Chaos.
The Sea of Chaos in the Infernal Realm was the territory of Destruction Sovereign Utred, and the Four Divine Beast Family dared not develop their family there.
A Saint Realm cultivator, traveling from the Sea of Chaos to the Bifu Continent over a thousand years, had finally contacted someone from the Four Divine Beast Family.
Of course, along this journey, a Saint Realm cultivator traversing a continent for a thousand years must have encountered countless dangers.
If not for her identity within the Four Divine Beast Family, Winnie might have died long ago.
"Grace, please place this message in the family's shared mission repository and mark it as urgent."
The message was a thousand years late. Shelley didn't know if the people in the Audu Plane's Four Divine Beast Magic Academy would still be there by the time her family arrived.
But at the very least, Shelley didn't want to disappoint this Saint Realm cultivator who cared deeply for the Four Divine Beast Magic Academy.
"Also, have the family members receiving Ms. Winnie inquire if she wishes to return with the family for revenge. If so, she should wait at the Planar Teleportation Array, and they will notify her to return to the Audu Plane together."
"Understood, Lord Shelley."
"Sigh…"
After the young girl named Grace left, Shelley let out a sigh.
"What's wrong? I heard you sighing as soon as I arrived."
Roy's divine body materialized behind Shelley, and he asked with confusion.
"Lord Roy."
Shelley exclaimed and quickly bowed to Roy.
"Alright, what's going on?"
Roy waved his hand and walked over to sit in Shelley's spot.
"It's like this, Lord Roy."
Shelley followed, and as they walked, he explained the current situation of the Four Divine Beast Family in the material planes to Roy.
"Currently, the material planes where our family spreads its faith number as many as tens of billions."
"Among these planes, those with family members stationed there are alright, but the forces left behind in many planes have been attacked by the subordinates of other Lord Gods."
"If the intelligence were delivered in time, we could quickly mobilize other idle family members or Sovereign Legions to rescue or suppress them."
"However, it takes hundreds or even thousands of years for the rescue requests from some planes to reach us. By the time the family's reinforcements arrive, the Four Divine Beast Magic Academies in many planes have been razed to the ground, and the mages who graduated from the Four Divine Beast Magic Academies have also been hunted by the forces under other Lord Gods."
"Although we can avenge these people, there's nothing we can do for those who have already died."
"Hmm…"
"Actually, it's not that there's no way."
Hearing Shelley's words, Roy stroked his chin and spoke.
"What?"
Shelley was overjoyed. "Lord Roy, don't lie to me."
"What reason do I have to lie to you?"
Roy rolled his eyes, casually rested his feet on the desk, and clasped his hands behind his head.
"Shelley, you must understand that in the God Plane, the Supreme Plane, and even in the billions of material planes, any being that has not reached the Divine Realm, upon death, will enter the Netherworld and reincarnate as an undead creature, as long as their soul is not scattered."
"Undead creatures can absorb fragments of the Death Law during battles and ultimately break through to the Saint Realm without any bottlenecks."
"If they are lucky, possess great strength, and have high comprehension, they can break through to the Divine Realm."
"When receiving the baptism of heavenly laws, their souls will recover their past-life memories, and they will live a second life."
"This, this is wonderful!"
"So, they still have a chance to be resurrected."
Although the chance was slim, Roy's words still made Shelley very happy.
"However, Shelley, the expansion of the Four Divine Beast Family is almost complete."
"Instead of opening up those planes occupied by other Lord Gods, it's better to guard our existing planes."
"You can issue the notice later: the Four Divine Beast Family will cease expansion in the material planes."
"All clan members who previously participated in the expansion should immediately maintain a state of readiness for deployment."
"Once a rescue request is received, they must immediately rush to the plane in distress, striving to reduce the occurrence of such events."
"After all, among billions of undead creatures, only one might successfully advance to the Divine Realm and recover their past-life memories."
"Yes, Lord Roy."
...
In the Lord God's palace on Netherworld Mountain, the Death Sovereign yawned as she reclined on her divine throne.
She had been bored for hundreds of millions of years since all those gods rushed to the material planes.
Suddenly, the Death Sovereign's eyes flickered.
"What's this? A Sovereign is fighting?"
She tore through space with a casual gesture and stepped into the spatial turbulence.
Before long, the Death Sovereign saw the three parties engaged in combat.
That's right, three parties.
One side consisted of the Bright Sovereign August, the Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding, and the Vermillion Bird Sovereign Nimo.
The other side, however, was the Water Element Sovereign, the White Tiger Sovereign Us, and the Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen.
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were clashing with Sovereign-level beings again?
"Damn it!"
In the spatial turbulence, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were furious.
They had originally planned to lie in wait for the Earth Sovereign in the spatial turbulence.
But they never expected that they themselves would be ambushed by the Bright Sovereign August.
Moreover, the Bright Sovereign August wasn't alone when he arrived; he had brought the Water Element Lord God with him.
Currently, the four brothers were separated by the Bright Sovereign August and the Water Element Lord God, unable to combine their innate divine abilities.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Compared to the former Fate Sovereign Collet, the Bright Sovereign August and the Water Element Lord God had a much easier time.
Their strength was a hundred times that of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods. A casual strike could heavily injure any of them.
Each of them was responsible for two of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, and they didn't have to worry about them reuniting. It was a relaxed and leisurely affair, like playing around as they chased and attacked the Four Divine Beasts.
Occasionally, the two sovereigns would deliberately let the Four Divine Beast brothers get close, only to blast two of them away just as they were about to reunite, disrupting their formation.
"Damn it!"
Leiding roared.
But it was all to no avail.
When separated, each of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods was only equivalent to a Mid-level Lord God.
If their divine bodies hadn't reached the level of Lord God Artifacts, they would have already perished at the hands of the Bright Sovereign August and the Water Element Lord God.
Suddenly, within the spatial turbulence, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching.
Turning their heads, they saw their Fifth Brother, Roy, transformed into a yellow beam of light, quickly closing in on both sides of the battle.
