Everyone was curious about what state Roy would be in after becoming a Supreme God, and why he hadn't appeared for so many years.
Just as Tina was about to take out the four Supreme God tokens from her spatial ring, she suddenly remembered the emissary named William.
The last token was brought by him, so she decided to let him witness Roy's appearance as well!
With that, Tina's figure flickered, and after a few breaths, she reappeared, carrying a large man in one hand.
"This guy is William, my Sovereign's Emissary. Roy's last token was presented to me by him."
After introducing William to everyone, Tina then addressed William, who had just regained his footing, "William, these are all Lord Gods from our Star lineage."
"These four are the ancestors of the Four Divine Beast Family: Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding, White Tiger Sovereign Us, Vermillion Bird Sovereign Nimo, and Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen."
"Oh, right, the Vermillion Bird Sovereign is my father."
"William pays his respects to the Azure Dragon Sovereign, the White Tiger Sovereign, the Vermillion Bird Sovereign, and the Black Tortoise Sovereign."
Upon hearing Tina's introduction, William was greatly astonished.
He was merely a lowly Earth Demigod. When had he ever met so many important figures?
And all of them were Lord Gods?
Of course, William also had a slight doubt in his heart.
Why was it so violent this time when Lord God Tina brought him to the sun?
Wasn't it better to do it stealthily like last time?
When he returned, would people like Alfonsus still consider him an equal friend?
Would they distance themselves from him because he had become a high and mighty Sovereign's Emissary?
Alas…
Such were the troubles of happiness.
"This one here is my elder sister, the daughter of the Azure Dragon Sovereign, Water Sovereign Gaia."
"William pays his respects to the Sovereign."
Sovereign, another Sovereign!
William was inwardly shocked.
From the way his boss addressed these Lord Gods, they were divided into "Lord Gods" and "Sovereigns." Among the Star lineage, there were six Lord Gods and two Sovereigns.
It appeared that Sovereigns indeed held a very high status among Lord Gods.
For Gods, strength was a symbol of status.
Clearly, the strength of a Sovereign should also be far above that of a Lord God.
"This one is Purple Jasmine High God, and this one is Theresia High God."
"William pays his respects to Purple Jasmine High God and Theresia High God."
"Young man, you are quite good."
The Lord Gods of the Star lineage did not hesitate to show their favor to William, who had presented the last token.
"William, the garment you presented is one of the tokens belonging to a certain great being."
"Now, stand behind us and await this great being's arrival with us."
"Yes, Sovereign."
After hearing Tina's words, William cautiously walked behind the Lord Gods, not daring to breathe loudly.
Tina stood at the very front and took out four tokens from her spatial ring.
Supreme God Appraisal.
Earth Robe Upper Garment.
Earth Robe Lower Garment.
Earth Robe Belt.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, the four combined wondrous items emitted a yellow halo.
The Supreme God Appraisal transformed into yellow divine radiance, scattering over the three tokens.
Absorbing the divine radiance from the Supreme God Appraisal, the three tokens were instantly renewed, combining to form a robe that exuded a powerful pressure.
Countless yellow halos converged on the Sun Star of the Star God Realm. The immense pressure caused the people of the Star God Realm to involuntarily kneel on the ground.
Everyone who felt this pressure had a single thought emerge in their minds—
The Supreme God has arrived!
As the Earth Robe was draped over the halo, the boundless yellow halos instantly condensed into Roy's figure, appearing before Tina and the others.
Slowly opening his eyes, everyone's gaze was inevitably drawn to Roy's pupils.
The brilliant light contained within those eyes seemed as vast as the universe and starry sky.
Suddenly, Roy's expression softened, and he revealed a gentle smile, "Everyone, it's been a long time."
"Master!"
"Lord Roy."
"Fifth Brother!"
Upon hearing Roy's words, the Lord Gods present snapped out of their daze, captivated by his gaze. They were all overcome with emotion.
William, upon hearing how the Lord Gods addressed the figure who had appeared before them, couldn't help but feel a jolt of shock.
The Earth Supreme God was the master of the Star Sovereign, and the Fifth Brother of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
This news would likely shock the other gods for trillions of years.
Roy slowly descended from the air and gently patted Tina's head.
"Tina, you've worked hard all these years."
"You've done very well; you haven't let your teacher's expectations down."
"Mhm."
Tears welled up in Tina's eyes as she stifled her choked sobs.
Indeed, ever since her teacher became a Supreme God, the Star lineage had been entirely supported by her.
How many people could truly understand the hardships involved?
However, receiving her master's approval made Tina feel that her countless years of hardship had not been in vain.
"Fifth Brother!"
Next, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods stepped forward one by one to embrace Roy, patting his shoulder before moving aside.
Afterward, the several Lord Gods recounted everything that had transpired over the past few hundred epochs to Roy.
As a Supreme God, Roy was naturally aware of all these events, but he said nothing, merely listening attentively to their accounts and offering occasional affirmations.
Meanwhile, William was completely bewildered.
What a revelation!
So, the conflicts between the Lord Gods were actually this intense.
Destruction Sovereign, Destiny Sovereign, Death Sovereign, Life Sovereign…
And his own boss was the Star Sovereign, one of the top five rule sovereigns!
"Master, if Destruction Sovereign Utred and Destiny Sovereign Off achieve ten consecutive victories in the Plane Wars, how long will it take them to break through to become Supreme Gods?"
Finally, after describing the changes over the past few hundred epochs, Tina asked this question.
Tina could be considered Roy's true successor.
If not for the sudden joint action of Destruction Sovereign Utred and Destiny Sovereign Off, which was on the verge of shattering the balance between the Lord Gods, Tina would have already truly reached the late stage of Soul Golden Core and become a Rule Sovereign.
At this point, if she were to refine the Lord Godhead, even combining Destruction Sovereign Utred and Destiny Sovereign Off wouldn't be enough for her to fight against.
However, it was precisely because Tina had experienced the changes after her own cultivation and refining the Lord Godhead that she could ask such a question.
The willpower within her soul, and the willpower contained within the Lord Godhead, although the same thing.
Was the limit of her soul, locked by the Lord Godhead, truly capable of further breakthroughs?
This question also drew the attention of the others, especially the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
"Tina, Supreme Gods and Lord Gods are different."
Roy, naturally understanding their thoughts, still carefully explained to them.
"Supreme God represents the Supreme Rule."
"In fact, you have all encountered the Supreme Rule."
Seeing that they still didn't understand, Roy continued, "Tina, and my four elder brothers, and Theresia, you are all at Paragon. You should know that your willpower is the same as the willpower within the Lord Godhead, right?"
They all nodded.
"The so-called willpower is, in essence, the Supreme Rule."
"The willpower formed by the complete and perfect fusion of a set of profound mysteries of laws is a wisp of Supreme Rule rewarded by heaven and earth."
"The Lord Godhead is actually condensed from the Supreme Rule. By refining the Lord Godhead, one obtains the right to use that wisp of Supreme Rule, thus becoming the Lord God as you call it."
"However, no matter how much willpower you obtain, while the strength of a Lord God can indeed increase, they can never become a Supreme God."
"Moreover, what does 'Supreme' mean? It is called 'Supreme' precisely because there is only one!"
Additionally, the willpower that arises after the soul power reaches a certain level also belongs to a form of supremacy, the Supreme Rule of the Soul!
This was also the path that Roy and Tina had initially taken.
Upon hearing Roy's words, the most disheartened were the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
Why had they tried so desperately to intercept Destruction Sovereign Utred and Destiny Sovereign Off?
Why had they reduced the Four Divine Beast Family, once dominant across the five Supreme Planes and seven God Planes, to just a small area like Infernal Realm Azure Mansion?
These clansmen were all their descendants.
Who wouldn't feel heartbroken seeing them sent to their deaths like that?
Isn't it because they were afraid that if the Destruction Sovereign Utred and the Destiny Sovereign Off controlled the Plane War, allowing them to advance to Supreme God, it would pose a threat to Fifth Brother Roy?
But now, Fifth Brother Roy himself has stated that the Destruction Sovereign Utred and the Destiny Sovereign Off cannot break through to become Supreme Gods. Does that mean everything they've done, all the sacrifices of countless members of the Four Divine Beast Family, have been for nothing, a joke?
As if sensing the guilt of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, Roy comforted them, "Of course, although the Destruction Sovereign Utred and the Destiny Sovereign Off cannot break through to become Supreme Gods, when their strength far surpasses that of other Lord Gods, and there's no one to restrain them, I don't know what kind of world this will become."
"My four elder brothers, the Four Divine Beast Family has made immense contributions to maintaining the balance of this world for so many years!"
"Heh heh..."
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods shook their heads.
The balance of the world...
What interest would these guys, who can't even protect their own families, have in worrying about the state of the world?
Roy sighed inwardly at the performance of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
After becoming a Supreme God, Roy gained the ability to see through "destiny."
Back then, when the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods announced that the Four Divine Beast Family would go all out to stop the Destruction Sovereign Utred and the Destiny Sovereign Off from monopolizing the Plane War's ten consecutive victories, to prevent them from ambushing him after they became Supreme Gods, Roy had entertained the thought of killing them.
However, as soon as this thought crossed Roy's mind, the destinies of everyone involved flashed through his mind—
With Roy, the Earth Supreme God, as their most powerful backing, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods became the most arrogant, triumphant, and even overbearing group among the Lord Gods.
Because of the actions of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, the Four Divine Beast Family transformed into overbearing, arrogant, and power-hungry clan that coveted absolute rule over the twelve planes, igniting a series of extermination wars across various planes.
Eventually, even the Lord God families fell within their scope of attack. The enraged Lord Gods sought out the Four Divine Beasts for an explanation, only to be killed by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods. Furthermore, the Lord Godhead of that Lord God allowed the Four Divine Beast Family to gain another Lord God.
This gave the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods an idea—
If they replaced all the Lord Gods with members of the Four Divine Beast Family, who in this world could possibly resist them?
Thus, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods launched a hunt for all the Lord Gods.
Of course, they did not violate the agreement among the Lord Gods; they went for one-on-one duels with the Mid-level Lord Gods.
Among the Mid-level Lord Gods, how many could stand against the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, who had reached Paragon in laws and whose divine bodies had reached the level of Lord God Artifacts?
In the end, the actions of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods became too much even for the Life Sovereign Vivian, who, along with the Death Sovereign, launched a powerful attack to kill them.
At this point, if Roy did not intervene, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods would die, the Four Divine Beast Family members who had refined Lord Godheads would die, and Gaia would die seeking revenge.
Tina, who had reached the late stage of Soul Golden Core, refined that Earth Lord Godhead, killed the Life Sovereign Wei Wei An, and while pursuing the Death Sovereign to the Netherworld, was killed by the Death Sovereign who utilized the "Netherworld Heart" to draw upon the power of the entire Netherworld.
Thus, except for Theresia and the Purple Jasmine High God, all the Lord Gods of the Four Divine Beast lineage were annihilated.
With the annihilation of the Four Divine Beast lineage's Lord Gods, the situation of the Four Divine Beast Family naturally did not improve.
In fact, without the Destruction Sovereign Utred and the Destiny Sovereign Off to preserve the bloodline of the Four Divine Beast Family, the Four Divine Beast Family became a mere footnote in the history of the Magic Universe.
But if Roy intervened, everyone would die.
The Lord Gods would completely become members of the Four Divine Beast Family.
Unfortunately, after several hundred aeons, the Lord Gods of the Four Divine Beast Family began to quarrel over the matter of the Plane War's ten consecutive victories.
At this time, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, lacking absolute power, had little say and could only watch helplessly as their descendants engaged in infighting.
The third great war of Lord Gods began—
The war between the Lord Gods spread to the Seven God Planes and the Four Supreme Planes. Even the members of the Four Divine Beast Family began to fight each other, supporting different Lord Gods. The land was strewn with corpses, and blood flowed like rivers...
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Roy annihilated all the Lord Gods and cast all the Lord Godheads into the spatial turbulence, awaiting the birth of new Lord Gods and a new order.
However, no matter what order the Lord Gods established, the Four Divine Beast Family would not have a good ending.
In his view, the current situation of the Four Divine Beast Family was the best possible outcome.
It was infinitely better than being treated as penned blood slaves by other Lord Gods, being hunted by the Lord God families of various planes, with only a handful of survivors left in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.
Unfortunately, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods could not see such a fate; they could only lament for their clansmen who had bravely rushed to their deaths because of them.
After catching up, Roy flew into the air, his eyes fixed on Tina as he spoke in a procedural manner:
"Since the beginning of the universe countless years ago, this is the seventh Supreme God mission, and also the first mission I have issued."
"Tina Nimo, congratulations on completing the mission I issued."
"As per our agreement, I can grant you one request within the bounds of the rules."
"Anything I can do, I will do for you."
...
Thank you to the book friend 20230608205855330 for the sect leader reward, thank you!
The scope of a single chapter is limited, and many things cannot be fully written. Therefore, many plot points were foreshadowed earlier and will be filled in later.
Unfortunately, in the end, I lost another group of friends.
Lao Liu will improve in the future, with more words per chapter, one chapter at noon and one at six in the evening daily, to minimize the recurrence of such issues.
Originally, there were only these two chapters today, but Lao Liu found that I had gained a sect leader, and I felt very gratified.
The chapter scheduled for noon tomorrow will be moved to 6 PM today, as an extra chapter for the sect leader book friend 20230608205855330.
