Ripples Begin to Stir

The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and the Purple Jasmine High God were both Divine Beasts born not long after the creation of heaven and earth.

The Four Divine Beasts were origin Divine Beasts nurtured by heaven and earth, woven from the laws of earth, wind, water, and fire. They were born slightly earlier than the Purple Jasmine High God.

However, at that time, the status of Lord Gods was determined by strength.

Individually, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods at that time relied on their Lord God Artifact-level divine bodies. They were stronger than Low-level Lord Gods but inferior to Mid-level Lord Gods. It was naturally impossible for the Purple Jasmine High God Couple to address the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods as elders.

Even now, with the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods at Paragon, capable of rivaling Mid-level Lord Gods, they were still slightly inferior to the Purple Jasmine High God.

However, relying on their Lord God Artifact-level divine bodies, the Purple Jasmine High God could not inflict significant damage on the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

Now, the Purple Jasmine High God addressing the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods as "brothers" was, to some extent, lowering her own status and acknowledging that the individual status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods was above hers.

"Hey, hey, hey, little sister Purple Jasmine, you're too kind."

Hearing the Purple Jasmine High God call them "brothers," the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods beamed with joy. They all quickly rose, signaling for the Purple Jasmine High God to get up quickly.

As for whether standing higher allowed one to see farther, Roy stated that he did not understand or know.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Roy coughed a few times, reminding his four brothers to mind their manners.

"Purple Jasmine, you don't need to be like this."

"Since you have joined our faction, we naturally won't treat you differently."

"Everyone, please sit down."

After everyone had resettled, Roy said sternly, "Purple Jasmine, I believe you know that our Four Divine Beast Family has temporarily withdrawn from the faith war in the material planes during this recent period."

"However, we have now fallen into the massive vortex of the Plane War."

"It's fine for now, but when the situation becomes critical, we may immediately have someone use this Lord Godhead, along with an additional Sovereign Legion and four Sovereign's Emissaries, to help alleviate the situation."

"Lord Roy."

Hearing Roy mention the possibility of using the Destruction Lord Godhead, the Purple Jasmine High God could no longer sit still.

"What kind of secrets does the Plane War hold that make us deploy so many troops?"

The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods also turned their gazes to Roy at this time.

Roy had previously shared his speculations about the Plane War with them, but they were not very clear on the specifics.

They had always supported Roy's decisions because of their trust in their Fifth Brother.

"Mm."

"It's mainly my speculation."

"The Plane War has occurred over eight thousand times by now, but no plane has achieved ten consecutive victories so far."

"I speculate that after achieving ten consecutive victories in the Plane War, there might be unexpected changes."

"Therefore, we must go all out to prevent others from achieving ten consecutive victories while everyone else is not focusing their attention on the Plane War, and strive to be the first to achieve ten consecutive victories."

The Purple Jasmine High God and the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods understood this reasoning.

"Then, Lord Roy, under what circumstances will this Lord Godhead be used?"

"It will be activated when another Lord God faction achieves nine consecutive victories, and we do not have sufficient strength to intercept them."

"I understand."

After the Purple Jasmine High God sat down again, Roy continued, "As for other times, we will find a suitable owner for this Destruction Lord Godhead to await."

"Among the six of us, five are at Paragon, so this remaining Destruction Lord Godhead naturally can only be possessed by a Paragon Destruction High-level God."

"However, Purple Jasmine, I know what you want this Lord Godhead for."

"I can promise you that if your child is born, and we do not have a new Destruction Paragon High-level God, as long as your child's Destruction Rule reaches the final step, I can give this Lord Godhead to him, giving him a chance to contend for the Paragon Destruction Mid-level Lord God position."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Roy."

The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and the Purple Jasmine High God were very satisfied with Roy's arrangement.

Indeed, within their small circle, not being at Paragon felt somewhat out of place.

The Purple Jasmine High God felt this most acutely.

Although she was a Mid-level Lord God of the Destruction lineage, and her strength was slightly greater than that of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods individually, when sitting with them, the Purple Jasmine High God doubted her own qualifications to be there.

The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods also had no issues with what Roy had said.

Roy had privately told the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods that it would take at least over a thousand epochs for the Purple Jasmine High God's child to be conceived and born.

If, within these over a thousand epochs, the Four Divine Beast Family had not produced anyone who could reach Paragon before the Purple Jasmine High God's child, it would prove that the Four Divine Beast Family was indeed destined to have no connection with this Destruction lineage Lord Godhead.

Moreover, even if the Purple Jasmine High God's son were born, it did not mean that the people of the Four Divine Beast Family would have no opportunity.

After all, although Roy had set a slightly lower requirement for the Purple Jasmine High God's child, it still required their own Lord God's child to reach the final step.

If the Purple Jasmine High God's child could truly reach that stage, it would be a great boon for the faction of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

Over a thousand epochs would be enough to firmly bind the Purple Jasmine High God to the Four Divine Beast Family's chariot. And the Purple Jasmine High God's child would be the Fifth Brother's emissary. With such a relationship, who would dare say that the Purple Jasmine High God's child was not part of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' faction?

And although the Purple Jasmine High God very much wanted to reserve this Lord Godhead for her future child, she also knew that having a Paragon Mid-level Lord God of the Destruction lineage would bring greater improvement to this small group.

Roy, the Sovereign, was willing to lower his standards for her child, which was already the greatest care he could offer.

It seemed that to ensure her child's early birth, the Purple Jasmine High God would have to go all out!

...

The matter concerning Xing Yi, the Lord God, had spread widely among the Lord Gods.

In fact, several common phrases had even become popular.

"Are you Xing Yi? How could you do this?"

"Are you Xing Yi? How can you be so thoughtless?"

"Are you Xing Yi? You messed up something this simple?"

In short, the name "Xing Yi" seemed to have become synonymous with "idiot" or "fool."

Of course, they dared not say such things in front of Roy.

After all, the Star Sovereign, Yi, had also been referred to as "Xing Yi" for a period of time.

This newly emerged "Xing Yi" Lord God had sought out the Star Sovereign for trouble simply because of the name, ultimately achieving the remarkable feat of "delivering a Lord Godhead across millions of miles."

On the surface, after the Xing Yi blunder, the God Plane and the Supreme Plane returned to peace.

However, everyone became even more wary of the Star Sovereign!

And in secret, the Lord Gods who had ambitions for the Plane War began to mobilize and prepare for the next ten-billion-year Plane War.

Among them, some from the Destiny lineage were wandering through the various God Planes and the Supreme Plane, seemingly searching for something...

...

"Ding ding ding..."

"Miss Shelley, Miss Shelley!"

On Star Island, Nathaniel called out Shelley's name softly as he ran in a hurry.

Although outside Star Island, Nathaniel, relying on his status as a servant of the Star Sovereign, commanded respect from others.

But on Star Island, Nathaniel was merely the lowest-ranking gardener, terrified of disturbing the Lord God's cultivation by speaking loudly.

Of course, after years of interaction, Nathaniel knew that both the Lord God and Miss Shelley were very approachable people.

However, he was still accustomed to being cautious and not overstepping his bounds.

But the discovery today made Nathaniel disregard his usual rules, and he ran towards the Lord God's palace while calling for Shelley.

Nathaniel knew that with Miss Shelley's strength, she would quickly arrive upon hearing his calls.

As Nathaniel expected, within a few breaths, Shelley flew before him.

"What's wrong? Nathaniel, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Miss Shelley, you're finally here."

"It's a big deal!"

After speaking, Nathaniel took out a Floating Shadow Stone from his spatial ring. After inputting divine power, a maiden in a light blue dress with waist-length black hair appeared in the shadow.

"Ah..."

Upon seeing this, Shelley gasped and covered her mouth.

"This..."

The figure in the Floating Shadow Stone was none other than Shelley herself!

After looking for a moment, Shelley recognized that this was taken when the five Lord Gods came to Star Island to find Lord Roy, and she was picking flower petals outside the courtyard to make tea.

On this Star Island, besides Lord Roy and herself, there was only Nathaniel.

At that moment, Shelley became furious!

"Nathaniel, how dare you use a Floating Shadow Stone to record my shadow?"

"I'm innocent, Miss Shelley."

Nathaniel immediately knelt down.

As the third person on Star Island, the moment Nathaniel saw this Floating Shadow Stone, he knew he had to quickly clear his name. Otherwise, once Lord Roy emerged from seclusion, he would be in for a rough time.

"Lord Shelley, even if I had the courage of a thousand men, I wouldn't dare to use a Floating Shadow Stone to record you, Miss Shelley."

"Then what is this thing?"

Seeing Nathaniel like this, Shelley also suppressed her anger.

Indeed, as Nathaniel said, he didn't have the guts to use a Floating Shadow Stone on Star Island.

It was known that Nathaniel was originally a captain in the Sovereign Legion of the Qingya Lord God. Later, he was fortunate enough to obtain an Earth Element Lord Godhead on the Muba Plane and offered it to Lord Roy, in exchange for Lord Roy's protection.

If Nathaniel were to use a Floating Shadow Stone on Star Island and anger Lord Roy, even if Lord Roy didn't hold him accountable, the Qingya Lord God would hunt him down.

It was only with the protection of Sovereign Roy that Nathaniel now lived a comfortable life.

"Lord Shelley, I don't know either."

Nathaniel's heart eased by more than half when Miss Shelley no longer suspected him of using the Floating Shadow Stone on Star Island.

As long as Miss Shelley believed him, Lord Roy wouldn't chase him away.

"I went out today to the Guluo Island to buy some daily necessities, but I encountered some people wearing white robes on Guluo Island."

"Each of them held a Floating Shadow Stone, and the stones showed images of Miss Shelley picking petals in the courtyard."

"Every person they met, they would ask if anyone had seen the person in the Floating Shadow Stone. Moreover, they would use more Floating Shadow Stones to record images of Miss Shelley and distribute them to more people, asking them to contact them if they encountered Miss Shelley, in exchange for generous rewards."

"This Floating Shadow Stone I have was given to me by one of the people wearing white robes."

"This..."

Shelley was also surprised after hearing Nathaniel's words.

Who exactly was looking for her so openly?

Thinking of this, Shelley also felt a bit fortunate.

For tens of trillions of years, she had lived a secluded life on Star Island, never venturing out. That's why these people hadn't found her.

Otherwise...

At that moment, after instructing Nathaniel a few times, Shelley entered the Lord God's Grand Hall and stood before the cultivation room where Roy was in seclusion.

If Lord Roy were to wake up from his meditation midway, Shelley would report the matter to him immediately.

But if Lord Roy remained in seclusion, Shelley also had to ensure she didn't stray too far from him, lest she fall into the hands of some powerful figure and become a tool to control Lord Roy.

...

"This..."

"Is this that girl Shelley?"

"Mhm, it's Shelley."

In the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods looked at the Floating Shadow Stone before them, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.

Before the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods stood their sons, the current patriarch of the Four Divine Beast Family, Gaisleith, and his brothers Ges, Tia, and Mokorei, all respectfully lined up.

"Gaisleith, tell me the current situation."

"Yes, Father."

After Gaisleith paid his respects to his father and uncles, he began, "About thirty thousand years ago, people wearing white robes began entering the Infernal Realm, searching for and disseminating images of Miss Shelley.

"Initially, our family members didn't pay much attention because those who knew Miss Shelley were either in secluded cultivation or training battle formations in the Sovereign Legions, so these people's search yielded no results."

"Later, for reasons unknown, our clansmen in other God Planes and the Supreme Plane also discovered these people searching for the same person. Out of curiosity, our family members transmitted Miss Shelley's Floating Shadow Stone image to the Infernal Realm, asking people in our ancestral land to help identify the person in the image and understand why so many people were looking for her."

"Later, someone accidentally recognized her as Miss Shelley, the maid beside Lord Roy, and the news was directly passed to me."

"Then, I instructed the families across various planes to investigate this mysterious force searching for Miss Shelley."

"However, before we could get any results, we discovered that these people were gradually converging on the Infernal Realm from other planes."

"It's as if they had already determined that Miss Shelley was either not in other planes or was in the Infernal Realm."

"Father, the three uncles, look at this matter..."
