However, fearing someone might cause trouble, Roy still released his soul power, which was stronger and more concealed than his spiritual sense. Once he detected Star Yi Lord God's spiritual sense approaching to "pick a fight," he would strike immediately, giving Star Yi Lord God no chance at all!
Fortunately, as far as Roy's soul power could sense, no Lord God came to do such a thankless job.
Perhaps they also felt that this kind of fellow, who had just gained a little power and become reckless, wasn't someone they could coexist peacefully with for tens of trillions of years!
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
Purple hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Star Yi Lord God had never felt so free before.
When he was a god before, he still worried about encountering stronger individuals or people from the Four Divine Beast Family who might ambush him. After becoming a Lord God, everything changed.
In the Infernal Realm, apart from Destruction Sovereign Utred, he was the strongest!
He didn't need to worry about anything or fear anyone!
Hmm, thinking of this, Star Yi Lord God decided that after he obtained the title of Star Sovereign, he would go trouble the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods!
Why else would the Four Divine Beast Family try so hard to hunt him down back then?
"It's decided then. After killing this Star Sovereign, I'll head to Blood Peak Continent to find the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods!"
Star Yi Lord God's spiritual sense spread out, instantly enveloping the Star Mist Sea.
Upon sensing the presence of his old friends, a sinister smile appeared on Star Yi's lips.
"MacArthur, Lagren, Fern, Sphol, Ulm, Averylina..."
"My old friends, it's been a long time. I really want to see the expressions on your faces when you see me like this again?"
As he spoke, Star Yi Lord God's heart suddenly stirred.
...
Star Mist Sea, Blade Island.
Three trillion years had passed since Roy became the de facto controller of the Star Mist Sea.
Initially, the bandit leaders on Blade Island worried that the Star Sovereign would disapprove of their island, which was populated by bandits, and they even left for several million years.
Later, seeing that Blade Island remained unchanged, they returned to their old haunts.
However, they were quite measured in their plundering.
They didn't dare to touch the Four Divine Beast Family, the Star Sovereign's legions, or the Metal Life from some major powers.
They specifically targeted those who seemed easy to bully. Although the rewards were a bit less, it was safer.
Moreover, they were very perceptive.
Even during their raids, if they saw the Star Sovereign's legions patrolling, they would leave immediately without any hesitation.
Over the past three trillion years, Blade Island had been developing and improving.
One day, the bandits of Blade Island were discussing whether to expand their plundering range when they suddenly noticed the sky above them turn dark.
Not only that, but a massive pressure rained down from the sky, as if forcing them all to their knees.
"Rumble rumble rumble..."
The bandits looked up at the sky and saw countless lightning flashes illuminating the sky above Blade Island. Endless black Lord God power condensed into a giant human face in the sky.
The size of this face was almost comparable to the entire Blade Island.
"The, the Lord God has descended?"
In an instant, all the bandits on Blade Island had this thought.
Had they done something to anger the Star Sovereign, and was the Lord God about to take action against Blade Island?
In their fear, these bandits dared not be disrespectful. They all knelt on the ground and paid their respects to the Lord God.
"Greetings, Lord God."
"We greet the Lord God."
"Hahahaha..."
"Hahahaha..."
Star Yi Lord God, who was flying towards the Star Mist Sea, saw his former pursuers kneeling at his feet through the descending projection and burst into laughter.
This was it, this was the feeling!
"MacArthur, Lagren, Fern, Sphol, Ulm, Averylina..."
Several names were suddenly spoken from the giant face of the Lord God projection in the sky.
Everyone whose name was called trembled, and they quickly reviewed everything they had done in the past tens of thousands of years, wondering if they had offended the Lord God in any way.
"All of you, come forward."
"As you command, Lord God."
MacArthur and the other five flew out from their respective camps and came to the front of all the bandits, kneeling before the giant face of the Lord God projection.
"MacArthur..."
"Lagren..."
"Forn..."
"Sfur..."
"Em..."
"Avelina..."
"Greetings, Lord God!"
Seeing the six trembling, Star Yi felt all his pores relax.
But it wasn't enough.
"I heard that three trillion years ago, you pursued someone named Star Yi, intending to offer him to a Lord God for a reward?"
Upon hearing the Lord God's question, Mikea and the other five breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed their actions had reached the ears of the Star Sovereign, and that was why the Sovereign had come looking for them.
"Lord God, you are wise. It is true that at that time, there was a god named Star Yi who offended you, the Lord God. However, our strength was limited, and the sinner who offended your name escaped."
"However, we have already spread the name of that sinner and the news that he offended your name, the Lord God. We believe he has been executed by now."
"Heh heh, so these were all your doing..."
"Tell me, how should I reward you?"
The last two sentences were spoken by Star Yi Lord God himself, who had flown directly below the giant projection of the Lord God's face and spoken from his own mouth.
Although Mikea and the others found the voice somewhat familiar, they didn't dare to look up, and still didn't realize they had mistaken the Lord God.
"Lord God, we were merely doing insignificant little things for your majesty..."
"Insignificant little things?"
Star Yi Lord God slowly descended, speaking in a cheerful tone, "My esteemed sirs, I pardon your transgression of looking directly at the True Form of a Lord God. You may look up."
"As you command, Lord God!"
Mikea and the other five looked up, and the first thing they saw was Star Yi Lord God slowly descending.
"This, how is this possible?"
The powerful pressure emanating from Star Yi Lord God constantly reminded Mikea and the other five that the "Star Yi" they had hunted for offending the Lord God's name had now become their unattainable "Lord God"!
"To make me unable to reside in the God Plane and the Supreme Plane, forcing me to blend into the Material Plane and struggle for survival for three trillion years, and you consider this merely 'insignificant little things'..."
"Tell me, how should I reward you?"
"Spare, spare us, Lord God, spare us!"
Mikea and the other five were utterly terrified. They immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed, not daring to use their divine power to protect their divine bodies.
"Lord God, it was Mikea. It was all Mikea's doing. I was merely following his orders!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Star Yi, it was all Mikea and Sfur who took the lead. They planned everything, it has nothing to do with us, Lord God..."
Seeing them push responsibility onto each other, Star Yi's mood became even more pleasant.
"Everyone, no need to be like this. I, as a person, have always treated everyone equally."
"Whether you were the mastermind or an accomplice, since you have all offended a Lord God, you must naturally accept the Lord God's punishment, don't you agree!"
"Therefore, all of you, disappear!"
Under the vast Willpower of Star Yi Lord God, Mikea and the other five exploded into bloody mist amidst their screams.
Star Yi Lord God's actions made the bandits on Blade Island cower in fear, not daring to move.
They were afraid that if they angered this Lord God in the slightest, they would be instantly annihilated.
After killing Mikea and the others, Star Yi Lord God dispersed the giant projection of the Lord God's face in the sky and turned his own face towards Star Island.
"Whoosh!"
It wasn't until a long time later that the daring individuals on Blade Island looked up and found that the Lord God had long since disappeared from the sky. They then hastily got up, gathered their belongings or others', and fled Blade Island.
Lord Gods were simply too terrifying!
...
"You are the Star Sovereign?"
With the speed of a Lord God, it took Star Yi Lord God no time at all to fly from Blade Island to Roy's residence in the Star Mist Sea.
Star Yi Lord God glanced at Roy, who was standing on top of the Lord God Palace, then circled Star Island once and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, I am very pleased with this Star Island."
"Yi, I am giving you an opportunity now. Submit to me, and then announce to all the God Planes and the Supreme Plane that from this day forward, the title of Star Sovereign and the name 'Yi' will belong to me, Star Sovereign Star Yi. If you do this, I will spare your life and let you continue to be a dog under my command."
"Otherwise, everything you possess, I will utterly destroy after I kill you!"
"Heh heh..."
As Star Yi Lord God approached Roy, the Spiritual Senses of the Lord Gods in the Infernal Realm once again radiated outwards.
Previously, they had feared that their Spiritual Senses approaching Star Yi Lord God would be misunderstood by the Star Sovereign. But now—
Star Yi Lord God was courting death, and their Spiritual Senses would not be misunderstood by the Star Sovereign.
"Tsk, tsk, can this be considered ignorance is bliss?"
"It should be. I just wonder what kind of expression that guy will have when he learns that the Star Sovereign is actually a Sovereign."
"Alas, he's beyond saving. He's just waiting to die!"
The spiritual senses of these Lord Gods were communicating with each other, and the content of their telepathic messages even confused Star Yi Lord God.
What were these people talking about?
He was ignorant and fearless?
And also, the Star Sovereign was a Sovereign?
How could that be possible?
Don't all Sovereigns stay in their respective God Planes?
Roy smiled and said to Star Yi Lord God, "Star Yi, you've only just become a Lord God, so you probably don't know about the three agreements between Lord Gods, do you?"
"Lord God agreements?"
Upon hearing this utterly unfamiliar term, Star Yi Lord God immediately felt a sense of dread.
There were actually agreements between Lord Gods?
"Yes, the Lord God agreements."
"Among them, the most important agreement is that high-level Lord Gods are not allowed to attack low-level Lord Gods without reason. Those who hunt and kill low-level Lord Gods will be pursued by the Four Rule Sovereigns."
Roy emphasized the word "without reason."
"So, Star Yi Lord God, do you think your attempt to hunt me has already violated the Lord God agreement?"
"Tell me, if the Destruction Sovereign were to come and hunt you, how long do you think you could survive?"
"What?"
Hearing Roy's words, Star Yi Lord God was startled. He extended his spiritual sense, and only after sensing that the immense pressure in the Sea of Chaos remained still did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Heh heh, don't try to scare me. I haven't attacked you yet, have I? So it doesn't count as violating the Lord God agreement."
"Yes, you haven't violated it."
Roy's smile grew even brighter.
"However, I am a Sovereign. If I were to kill you without reason, it would violate the Lord God agreement, and I would be pursued by the Four Rule Sovereigns."
"Now, you've come all the way to my doorstep, shouting about taking me as your dog, seizing my title, and eliminating the forces under my command..."
"Tell me, if I kill you now, can it still be considered 'without reason'?"
Roy's words felt like a massive slap across Star Yi Lord God's face, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
"How is that possible? How could you possibly be a Sovereign?"
Star Yi Lord God shouted, his voice changing: "Don't all Sovereigns reside in their own God Planes? If you are a Sovereign, why aren't you in your own God Plane?"
"If it were a normal Law Sovereign, then of course they would be presiding over their own God Plane."
Roy kindly explained to Star Yi Lord God, "However, we are not Law Sovereigns. The Four Rule Sovereigns use strength, not Lord Godheads, to distinguish the status of Lord Gods."
"In other words, even though I am just an Earth Mid-level Lord God, I possess Sovereign-level strength. Therefore, within the Lord God agreements, I am classified as a Sovereign, understand?"
"How is that possible?"
Star Yi Lord God's face was filled with terror. A Mid-level Lord God with Sovereign-level combat power – what kind of mythical legend was this?
"Why is it impossible?"
Roy tilted his head. "I myself am at Paragon, possessing an extra portion of Willpower compared to ordinary Mid-level Lord Gods. Then, my Divine Body is of the Lord God Artifact level, which has increased my strength tenfold."
"Adding it all up, I am a hundred times stronger than an ordinary Mid-level Lord God. Being classified as a Sovereign level isn't excessive, is it?"
It wasn't excessive at all.
Star Sovereign, at this moment, was sweating profusely, with large drops of cold sweat dripping from his forehead and sticking his hair to his face in patches, making him look utterly disheveled.
What was excessive was that he, having just become a Lord God, had no one to inform him of these things, leaving him to appear before the Star Sovereign like a fool, presenting himself as an offering.
"Lord Sovereign, can you spare my life? I can join your ranks and become your dog..."
"Forget it. I don't dare to take a dog like you."
Roy shook his head and then extended his hand towards Star Yi Lord God.
"No!"
"Even if I die, I will make you pay a price!"
The hundredfold difference in strength left Star Yi Lord God with no thought of resistance in front of Roy. At that moment, Star Yi Lord God transformed into a black afterimage and lunged towards Shelley, who was sweeping the courtyard on Star Island!
