In the Heavenly Realm, Destiny Sovereign Off, once again left to manage alone, began recruiting for the Sovereign's Army again.
Not only Destiny Sovereign Off, but also Low-level Lord God Manlu of the Earth Element, Low-level Lord God Potel of the Fire Element, Low-level Lord God Mu Ya of the Destruction System, Low-level Lord God Karl of Destiny, and Mid-level Lord God Okasi of Destiny—their Sovereign's Armies and Sovereign's Emissaries all perished on the Plane War.
For at least the next two trillion years, this group of people would have very little presence in the God Plane and the Supreme Plane.
After all, Lord Gods could not interfere in matters between Gods. If a Lord God's subordinate lacked one or two Sovereign's Emissaries who could handle themselves, what would happen if they were provoked while out relaxing?
Would they have to act personally?
How embarrassing would that be?
They would likely be laughed at by other Lord Gods for trillions of years.
Of course, if someone recorded you using a Floating Shadow Technique or Floating Shadow Stone while you were acting, congratulations! Perhaps you, as a Lord God, would become the laughingstock of other Lord Gods for a lifetime.
After more than a thousand yanjis, the protagonist Linley and his companions had purchased a giant face projection from a Lord God to directly kill a powerful Seven-star Devil.
This was naturally a major event among Gods, and everyone was shocked by the power of the Lord God.
But for Lord Gods, it was too demeaning.
Even after the protagonist Linley broke through the Magic Universe and became the second Hong Meng controller, he never revealed the identity of the Lord God who had acted against a God.
Clearly, a Sovereign's Emissary had died, and while their quota had not yet recovered, they went out to cause trouble. When they were provoked, they became angry and directly revealed the Lord God's identity and acted.
They were likely mocked by other Lord Gods for a long time afterward and dared not go out to cause trouble.
In any case, Roy searched through the information in his mind but found no information about this Lord God.
...
Light God Plane.
Augusta, the Light Sovereign, sat on his divine throne in his Sovereign's palace, his expression extremely grim.
This time, in order to help Destiny Sovereign Off, he had sacrificed his entire Sovereign's Army and eight Sovereign's Emissaries.
In the end, not only were they completely wiped out, but they also failed to help Off achieve his goal and obtain the Butterfly Dance Chain.
According to the agreement between the Lord Gods, it would take him eight trillion years to recover his Sovereign's Emissary quota and find new Sovereign's Emissaries.
Eight trillion years...
It seemed that Sovereign's Emissaries were not very secure.
But what could be done to acquire a new batch of powerful subordinates to whom he could bestow Lord God Artifacts?
Augusta's Spiritual Sense radiated throughout the Light God Realm, and as he contemplated rebuilding his Sovereign's Army, he also wondered how he could circumvent the Lord God agreement and have more people at his disposal.
Suddenly, Augusta's Spiritual Sense spread into a city within the Light God Realm. At first glance, he saw the conspicuous statue of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods on the city wall.
This sparked an idea in Augusta's mind—
That's right! Lord Gods could only bestow one Lord God Artifact upon their Emissaries and children. He had no Emissary quota now, but he could have "children"!
At this thought, Augusta's eyes lit up.
However, the execution of this plan required careful planning.
He couldn't just find a few people and claim they were his children, expecting other Lord Gods to believe him.
Did he think those specialized in the Soul path couldn't read others' memories?
For Gods specialized in the Soul path, they could strip away one's comprehension of Profound Mysteries of Laws at will, let alone memories, which were merely the surface of the soul.
Moreover, who knew if such individuals would obey him in the future?
The best method would be to go to the material plane and find newborn infants, raising them personally. In their memories, he would be their father.
As for the mother?
At this thought, Augusta's expression changed. All the maids in the palace knelt in unison before Augusta.
"Master."
Looking at these "women" before him, Augusta revealed a satisfied smile.
Were these not the most suitable?
What Sovereign's Emissaries, what Sovereign's Armies, could compare to his treasures?
They were his greatest trump card.
But now, with his Sovereign's Emissary quota sealed for eight trillion years, he had to reveal them earlier.
"Jenna, Elsa."
"Your subordinate is here!"
"I now command you to go to the material plane and find me some infants with good potential, and secretly bring them back."
"As you command, Master!"
Upon receiving Augusta's permission, these maids soared into the air. Two vertical slits appeared on their robes, and brilliant white light erupted from their smooth backs. Finally, pure white wings appeared on everyone's backs.
Angels!
They were the Light Sovereign's greatest trump card.
When the Light God Realm was created by the seven Light Sovereigns, a unique artifact born from heaven and earth appeared in the Light God Realm: the Angel Reincarnation Pool.
The entire Light God Realm possessed a total of one hundred and twenty-eight Angel Reincarnation Pools.
As the Light Sovereign, Augusta directly controlled half of them, which amounted to sixty-four Angel Reincarnation Pools.
However, although the other Light Sovereigns also recognized the Angel Reincarnation Pools as their own, they had not been able to research how to use this wondrous item.
This meant that Off, who was Augusta's primary personality and had not yet become the Destiny Sovereign at the time, focused on researching the usage of the Angel Reincarnation Pool for Augusta.
In the end, Off did manage to figure it out.
This Angel Reincarnation Pool could allow a Sovereign to inscribe their understanding of the Profound Mysteries of Laws and their techniques within it. By casting the souls of pure-hearted maidens into it, the pool would transform them, giving birth to genderless angels.
Depending on the purity of the soul, the lowest-born angels would be two-winged angels with the strength of the Saint Realm.
Four-winged angels possessed the strength of a Demigod.
Six-winged angels possessed the strength of a God.
Eight-winged angels possessed the strength of an ordinary High-level God.
Ten-winged angels possessed the strength of a Five-star to Six-star Devil.
Twelve-winged angels possessed the strength of a Seven-star Devil or even Asura-level.
If a Light God had achieved Paragon, perhaps the twelve-winged angels born from it could rival a Paragon practitioner who did not utilize their Willpower.
Of course, besides the requirements for the soul, birthing more powerful angels also required higher-level Angel Reincarnation Pools.
Over these countless years, Augusta had collected items throughout the God Plane and had only managed to successfully cultivate two ten-winged angels, a hundred eight-winged angels, nearly a thousand six-winged angels, and over five thousand four-winged angels.
As for the two-winged angels, they barely exceeded ten thousand.
Over ten thousand beautiful angels flew out from the Sovereign's palace of the Light Sovereign, causing quite a stir in the Light God Realm.
Most people simply assumed they were a particular race.
However, the Light Sovereigns who possessed Angel Reincarnation Pools knew exactly what they were.
They never expected that the Light Sovereign had secretly figured out how to use the Angel Reincarnation Pool.
So, should they go and ask how to use the Angel Reincarnation Pool?
...
In Star Island, Roy was completely unaware that his actions had inspired Augusta to conceive the idea of establishing the "Augusta Family" and had prematurely exposed his secret of mastering the Angel Reincarnation Pool.
At this moment, he had put aside all other research and was solely focused on cultivating and enhancing his Soul Power.
Even the Divine Beast Essence Blood, which the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns only obtained once every ten million years, was received and kept by Shelley on his behalf.
As for Off, besides continuing his own research, he also visited Destruction Sovereign Utred and Death Sovereign Lilia.
By sacrificing some of his research findings, Destiny Sovereign Off learned from Destruction Sovereign Utred that Star Sovereign Roy might have mastered the fusion of the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns' innate divine abilities.
Destruction Sovereign Utred also wanted to see if Star Sovereign Roy truly mastered this technique, considered the world's strongest profound art, in the battle that would occur in a trillion years.
Concurrently, Utred wanted to see if Destiny Sovereign Off, now aware of Star Sovereign's technique, would be capable of cracking Roy's moves.
Whether Destiny Sovereign Off or Star Sovereign Roy emerged victorious, it would serve as a reference point for Destruction Sovereign Utred.
Although they lacked the Divine Beast Essence Blood of the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns, members of the Four Divine Beast Family were abundant in the Infernal Realm.
Currently, Destruction Sovereign Utred had also begun researching the bloodlines of the Four Divine Beast Family members, though he had not yet achieved any significant results.
Later, Destiny Sovereign Off did not receive any specific information from the Death Sovereign. Lilia merely told him that Roy's technique, "Kingdom in the Palm," might hold deeper and more powerful mysteries, advising Off to be extremely cautious.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Realm, Off's expression was grave.
Although he had previously believed he had a high enough regard for Star Sovereign, the information he learned from Destruction Sovereign Utred and Death Sovereign Lilia made Off realize that his assessment of Roy was still far from adequate!
"Hmm? Augusta is preparing to establish a family?"
At this moment, Augusta's thoughts suddenly surged into Off's mind. After a while, Off nodded.
Although the Bula Clan was rare, it was not nonexistent.
If Augusta established the Augusta Family, it would completely dispel any speculation about the relationship between Augusta and himself.
After all, those who knew of the Bula Clan's existence should also know that the Bula Clan was an asexual race and could not have offspring.
...
Over this past trillion years, the God Plane and the Supreme Plane seemed to be somewhat calmer than before.
However, the Material Planes remained in a state of chaos.
Because over this trillion years, new Gods had obtained Sovereignheads and become new Sovereigns.
The name was Karosha, a Lower Sovereign of the Destruction System. After becoming a Sovereign, he pledged allegiance to Destruction Sovereign. He had now named the continent under his jurisdiction as Kalosha Continent, located in the far west of the Infernal Realm.
The second topic that had the Sovereigns buzzing was Augusta, the Light Sovereign.
It seemed that after the previous setback, Augusta felt that the Emissaries were unreliable, or perhaps for some other reason. Over the past trillion years, Augusta had taken on countless concubines, with a harem numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Rumor had it that he indulged in nightly revelries.
Of course, his efforts were not in vain; over this trillion years, Augusta had sired an additional one hundred and eighty-two children.
Under Augusta's tutelage, these one hundred and eighty-two children possessed at least the strength of a Five-star Devil.
Even the Seven-star Devils numbered over a dozen.
This quantity stunned the other Lord Gods for hundreds of billions of years.
And to gather the Lord God Artifacts for his 182 children, Augusta, the Light Sovereign, openly auctioned the usage method of the Angel Reincarnation Pool. He sold it to three Light Lord Gods and made various promises to the Lord Gods under his command before he could gather so many Lord God Artifacts.
Among the Lord Gods, Augusta, the Light Sovereign, directly became known as "Wolf Extinguisher" in everyone's hearts.
He was a bit more than just a "ruthless person."
Just because he feared the Sovereign's Emissary quota being sealed for 8 trillion years, this guy spent trillions of years creating 182 children. Who wouldn't give Augusta a thumbs-up upon seeing this?
After receiving the Lord God Artifacts bestowed by Augusta, they officially established the Augusta Family on Ao Wei Island within God Prison Island.
In just a few hundred billion years, the third generation of the Augusta Family reached several thousand people, while the fourth and fifth generations exceeded a hundred thousand.
Subsequently, the Augusta Family, with God Prison Island as the center, expanded its family influence outwards.
Its momentum even surpassed that of the Four Divine Beast Family.
After all, in terms of Sovereign Power, the Augusta Family, like the Four Divine Beast Family, had an unlimited supply from their respective Lord Gods.
As for high-end combat power, the 182 powerhouses possessing Lord God Artifacts, even the weakest among them had an attack or defense capability of at least Seven-star Devil level. Those dozen or so Seven-star Devil level individuals could even rival an Asura who had fused five Profound Mysteries of Laws!
Under these circumstances, the bored Gods below began discussing when the Augusta Family could challenge the Four Divine Beast Family for the position of the foremost family.
Before the appearance of the Augusta Family, the Four Divine Beast Family was the undisputed top family in all the myriad realms.
Members of the Four Divine Beast Family could be found in hundreds of millions of material planes, the Seven God Planes, and the Four Supreme Planes.
Furthermore, every hundred thousand years, new members of the Four Divine Beast Family from various planes would gather at the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range in the Infernal Realm to participate in the Ancestral Worship Assembly and awaken the Divine Beast bloodline of the Four Divine Beasts.
Those with strong soul talent could even awaken the unique innate divine abilities of the Four Divine Beasts.
However, as the bloodline diluted, it became rare for members after the fourth generation to awaken innate divine abilities.
This did not hinder the power of the Four Divine Beast Family.
Now, a Lord God Family comparable to the Four Divine Beast Family had finally appeared.
Moreover, unlike the Four Divine Beast Family, the Lord God ancestor of the Four Divine Beast Family, being a Divine Beast, had a scarce number of children.
The second generation only had five members.
Although the third generation was larger, it did not exceed three hundred people.
Most members of the Four Divine Beast Family were from the fourth and fifth generations.
Only after the Divine Beast bloodline had diluted to a certain extent did the birth population of the Four Divine Beast Family reach terrifying numbers.
