After the Purple Jasmine High God's husband fell, she collected some of his vital blood and a soul stone. Using her own vital blood and the Purple Jasmine Ore Vein from the Purple Jasmine Mountain Range, she began nurturing this soul stone.
She hoped that through this method, a crystallization belonging to both her and her husband would be born.
Evidently, after more than a thousand cycles, the Purple Jasmine High God succeeded. She had nurtured the third Purple Jasmine Divine Beast in the world—Leisjing!
"According to the agreement between High Gods, even for a High God's child, the High God can only bestow one Lord God Artifact upon them."
"Purple Jasmine, what kind of Lord God Artifact do you wish to bestow upon your child?"
"A material defense Lord God Artifact."
Upon hearing Roy's question, a maternal glow appeared on the Purple Jasmine High God's face.
She was already nurturing a Lord God Artifact for her child. As soon as the child was born, she would bestow it upon them for protection.
However, immediately after, the Purple Jasmine High God's expression changed.
How could the Star Sovereign know?
"Have you asked him whether he prefers an offensive Lord God Artifact or a material defense Lord God Artifact?"
"What if he prefers an offensive Lord God Artifact at that time?"
"What will you choose?"
"Do you think he'll blame you?"
Before the Purple Jasmine High God could ponder how Roy knew what she was doing, his words had already shifted her focus.
Yes, what if her child didn't like the Lord God Artifact she gave him and threw a tantrum?
However, no matter what, her child's safety was the most important.
It was normal for children to have tantrums.
"If you join the Destruction Master, you can at most receive the Destruction Master's protection."
"But if you join the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' faction, I will reserve a position as an envoy for your child."
"How about it?"
Roy's words made the Purple Jasmine High God's heart flutter.
A High God could only bestow one Lord God Artifact upon their own children.
But if her child became an envoy of the Star Sovereign, they could receive another Lord God Artifact.
If her child possessed a soul defense Lord God Artifact and a material defense Lord God Artifact, combined with her unlimited supply of High God Power, it would be incredibly difficult for them to die unless they encountered a High God.
Even if they encountered a Paragon, at most they would be banished into the spatial turbulence. For the child of a High God with a High God background, being banished into spatial turbulence was nothing; the High God could retrieve them at any time.
"Alright, I agree to join the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' faction, but I will only be subordinate to you."
For the future safety of her child, the Purple Jasmine High God was ultimately persuaded by Roy and joined the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' faction.
Of course, there was one more crucial point: the Purple Jasmine High God knew that when war arrived, those who remained neutral and indecisive would be the first to be eliminated.
However, the Purple Jasmine High God also stated beforehand that she would only be subordinate to the Star Sovereign, not to the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, when united, were considered a Sovereign. Individually, each was merely a Mid-level Lord God.
It was impossible for a rule-based Mid-level Lord God like the Purple Jasmine High God to submit to a law-based High God.
"Agreed."
As long as the Purple Jasmine High God agreed to join the Four Divine Beast faction, Roy didn't care about these nominal matters.
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods wouldn't care either.
After bringing the Purple Jasmine High God into the fold, Roy made another trip to the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range. He chatted with his four elder brothers, informed them that the Purple Jasmine High God had joined their side, and instructed them to keep a close watch on the material plane. If any new High Gods emerged, they were to try and win them over. Success would be ideal, but even if not, they would at least know who their friends and enemies were in advance.
...
Returning to Star Island, Roy ignored Lilia and immediately entered the castle to go into seclusion.
Roy had no clue how to fuse the four types of High God Power.
This was destined to be a subject that would require countless years of experimentation.
Therefore, during the intervals of secluded cultivation and experimentation with the fusion of the four types of High God Power, Roy would also choose other methods to enhance his strength.
With the Soul Golden Core, one could already comprehend the Law of Space in the main universe.
Once the Law of Space was fully comprehended, one would become an existence surpassing the level of a High God, considered a top figure in the main universe.
They were called "God Kings."
Upon fully comprehending the Law of Time, one could become the strongest existence in the main universe—a Heavenly Venerate!
The Law of Time was something Roy dared not even think about for now.
He would at least wait until he reached the Soul Nascent Soul stage before touching it.
However, regarding the Law of Space, Roy did have some ideas.
In the affiliated universe, the cultivation of the Law of Space and the Law of Time was restricted by Hong Meng. However, through innate divine abilities, one could influence space and time.
Coincidentally, the Star Bell Roy possessed had been tempered by the vital blood of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, allowing him to utilize their innate divine abilities.
Not being able to cultivate Space Law doesn't mean I can't comprehend it.
If Roy could comprehend Space Law, combined with his divine body tempered by the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts, he might even develop a talent divine ability to use his own essence blood to influence time and space.
With Roy's soul power, if he could accomplish such a move, who among the Lord Gods would be his opponent?
Well, unless Off completed the Supreme God mission and obtained the Soul Defense Supreme Treasure.
...
Beneath the calm God Plane and Supreme Plane, the material planes were becoming increasingly lively.
Over these billions of years, as the High-level Gods who entered the material planes explored, they all discovered some secrets about the material planes.
For instance, the number of material planes is not infinite.
It's just that new material planes are born every moment, making the number of material planes seem infinite.
Furthermore, every material plane that is born will give birth to a unique Divine Beast. These Divine Beasts, whether strong in physical talent or soul talent, will comprehend a Profound Mystery of Laws and become gods upon reaching adulthood, possessing talent divine abilities.
Some High-level Gods who were lucky enough to be teleported to newly born material planes and enslaved these Divine Beasts might, after billions of years, gain a capable subordinate.
Due to Roy's prolonged seclusion, Lilia, bored, returned to the Netherworld and watched people fight for amusement at the Netherworld Hotel.
Peace was restored to Star Island.
In the cultivation chamber, Roy extended his right hand.
The Sovereign Power of the four elements—earth, wind, water, and fire—was held tightly in his palm, not revealing any aura.
Suddenly, Roy opened his eyes, and a semi-transparent white membrane appeared on his fist.
"Kingdom in the Palm!"
"Buzz!"
The space within the Lord God Palace seemed to tremble.
As Roy opened his right hand, his palm emitted a dazzling light, and a minuscule, almost imperceptible particle erupted with a powerful explosion.
The power of the explosion diffused within the white membrane, and tiny stars began to rotate within the white membrane as the explosion spread.
Looking from the outside of the membrane inward, it was as if Roy was holding a universe in the palm of his hand!
The diffusing power slowed down as it approached the barrier of the universe. By the time it was about to touch the barrier, its speed had nearly come to a complete stop.
After years of research and cultivation, Roy's soul power had increased tenfold.
After his soul formed a Golden Core, every tenfold increase in his soul power required at least ten thousand years.
To form a Soul Nascent Soul, at least a hundred thousand times the soul power would be needed.
In the main universe, gods were divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper-level gods.
Since the affiliated universe couldn't cultivate Space Law, Roy could only calculate his strength based on the early, middle, and late stages of his Soul Golden Core.
According to the Soul Golden Core within the Godhead in his sea of soul, his willpower would be enhanced once his soul power reached thirty thousand, sixty thousand, and ninety thousand times.
He just didn't know how many increments of willpower he would gain with each breakthrough.
Over these tens of millions of years, besides the improvement in his soul power, Roy's other research had made very little progress.
However, even though the main objective wasn't achieved, the secondary moves he developed brought him considerable gains.
For instance, the power of this "Kingdom in the Palm" move that Roy was currently experimenting with had increased at least fivefold compared to when he used it against Augusta, the Light Sovereign, billions of years ago!
Back then, Roy had used his own Earth High God Power to open up the Kingdom in the Palm.
Although Roy hadn't made much progress in fusing the four elemental Sovereign Powers over these tens of millions of years, his proficiency in using the four elemental Sovereign Powers to open up planes had improved immensely.
Perhaps it was because the affiliated universe was originally created by Hong Meng using Hong Meng's power to manifest earth, wind, water, and fire, that the four elemental Sovereign Powers had a special boost in creating planes.
On one occasion, when Roy accidentally arranged the four elemental Sovereign Powers according to the "Four Symbols" positions to create the Kingdom in the Palm, he discovered that the spatial strength of the divine kingdom he created was ten times stronger than before. After several tests, Roy finally mastered this move completely.
Of course, with the reminder from the Death Sovereign, Roy kept the Sovereign Powers arranged in the Four Symbols positions tightly in his hand until the very end, only opening his palm when creating the divine kingdom.
This way, he could conceal the fact that he wasn't a Lord God and could use the four elemental Sovereign Powers, while also making the move more covert.
Naturally, as the spatial strength of the divine kingdom increased, some of Roy's moves would also change, greatly increasing their power.
It was the same principle.
The more solid and stable the space, the greater the damage to the enemy when the space shatters.
For example, in material space, even if a spatial rift were torn open, it might not even be able to break a Lower-level Material Defense Divine Artifact.
But in the God Plane and Supreme Plane, tearing space could even damage High-level Divine Artifacts.
The space in the Kingdom in the Palm in Roy's hand was ten times more stable than that of the Supreme Plane, so the damage caused by the shattering space would naturally be greatly amplified.
At the very least, Roy was certain that this move could heavily wound Augusta, the Light Sovereign!
...
Apologies, it took a bit longer due to revisions, so I'm a few minutes late.
