Beirut, from the moment of his birth, was destined to be the king of the Yulan Plane.
He was the divine beast favored by the Yulan Plane, its first indigenous lifeform. Upon birth, he was already a Level 6 peak magical beast, reaching Level 7 after his first full moon. Three years later, he became the first Saint Realm expert on the Purple Thistle Continent.
Furthermore, upon reaching adulthood, Beirut became the first God on the Purple Thistle Continent!
In this Yulan Plane, which had only recently been formed, being a God-level expert meant being the undisputed strongest king!
One day, Beirut found a spatial ring in a cave within the Dark Forest.
After refining it with his blood, Beirut knew he had struck gold.
This ring turned out to be a defensive divine artifact for the soul. After refining the ring, Beirut felt a yellow halo appear around his soul.
This halo gave Beirut a sense of steadfastness, as if no matter how powerful the attack, it couldn't shake him in the slightest.
Inside this spatial ring was an exquisite token. One side of the token featured flowers, birds, insects, and fish, the sun, moon, and stars. On the other side, four divine beasts—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—formed a circle, with the character "Yi" in the center.
Beirut could feel an almost suffocating pressure emanating from the carvings of these four divine beasts.
Especially the blood-red patterns on these four divine beasts; even a single glance made him feel as though they could fly out of the token at any moment and crush him.
When Beirut focused his spiritual sense on the token, he read a piece of information:
This token belonged to the Star Lord God - Yi, and whoever obtained it would be Yi's emissary.
Besides the token, the spatial ring also contained two books detailing the Profound Mysteries of Laws and a mass of yellow liquid emitting a powerful pressure.
One book was on the Wind Element, and the other was on the Dark Element.
After reading these two books, Beirut realized that the gap between God-level experts was exponentially larger than the gap before reaching God-level.
At the same time, from these two books, Beirut also learned that the Profound Mysteries of Laws could be merged with each other. While early-stage fusion was relatively simple, late-stage fusion was incredibly difficult.
Anyone who could comprehend all the Profound Mysteries of Laws of a single element and become a High-level God was considered a genius.
Every person who could fuse the Profound Mysteries of Laws was a genius among geniuses.
Those who could completely fuse all the Profound Mysteries of Laws of an element were monsters among monsters, the invincible Paragon experts who stood at the pinnacle of divinity!
Over countless years, only a handful of individuals had managed to achieve Paragon.
With his talent, after obtaining these two books, Beirut became a God by fusing four kinds of Profound Mysteries of Laws within a million years. Even the newly arrived Plane Overseer of the Yulan Plane was no match for Beirut.
Of course, from the Plane Overseer, Beirut also learned about the worlds outside the material planes, which were even more colorful and magnificent than the material planes themselves.
In the outside world, Saint Realms were as common as dogs, and God-level experts were everywhere.
Only by reaching the High-level God realm could one barely make a mark.
Such a world ignited a sense of soaring ambition within Beirut.
With so many God-level experts in the outside world, his innate divine ability finally had a place to be used!
Soul Devourer—an innate divine ability that hadn't devoured a Godhead wasn't a good innate divine ability!
...
After giving Beirut the spatial ring, Roy no longer paid attention to him.
Those destined by fate were the most uninteresting in Roy's eyes.
Rather than seeing through Beirut's destiny now, it would be more enjoyable to hear about Beirut's news from someone else later on.
Of course, Roy's ceasing to focus on Beirut was also because an event related to Roy was about to occur.
Deep within the Purple Jasmine Mountain Range, a gentle and dignified woman looked with anticipation at the Purple Jasmine Ore Vein before her.
Using her and her husband's vital blood, she had meticulously infused the soul stone left behind by her husband after his death for countless years. Finally, her child was about to be born.
A yellow halo condensed around the Purple Jasmine High God, startling her. She instinctively moved to block the Purple Jasmine Ore Vein.
Upon seeing who it was, she quickly bowed.
"Purple Jasmine greets the Supreme God."
"Mhm, rise, Purple Jasmine."
"It hasn't been easy for you, but this little one hasn't failed your expectations and is about to be born into this world."
"Mhm."
The Purple Jasmine High God nodded.
Indeed, after her husband's demise, the Purple Jasmine High God had been nurturing their child. However, even the Purple Jasmine High God was unsure if she would succeed.
The psychological pressure she had endured over the years was far beyond what others could understand.
But now, the Purple Jasmine High God would finally reap the miracle of her years of effort.
This child was named Leisjing, the third Purple Jasmine Divine Beast in existence!
It was also the first divine beast not naturally born but artificially gestated.
Of course, perhaps because it wasn't born of heaven and earth, Leisjing, despite being a Purple Jasmine Divine Beast, had some deficiencies in its origin. This manifested as Leisjing possessing the bloodline and innate divine abilities of a Purple Jasmine Divine Beast, but its physical development was extremely slow.
Perhaps calling Leisjing a "Purple Jasmine Young Beast" would be more fitting of its status.
After confirming Leisjing's birth, Roy gave the Purple Jasmine High God a spatial ring.
This was a promise Roy made when he originally invited the Purple Jasmine High God to join the faction of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
After the Purple Jasmine High God's child was born, Roy would take them in as a Sovereign's Emissary under his command and bestow a Lord God Artifact upon the child.
Although Roy was no longer a Lord God, a promise made was still a promise that had to be fulfilled.
Much like the spatial ring given to Beirut, this spatial ring was a soul-defending Lord God Artifact.
Inside the spatial ring was a vast amount of Sovereign Power and a token bearing the character "Yi."
This token was personally crafted by Roy.
Currently, only Beirut and Leisjing possessed this token.
Strictly speaking, they couldn't be called "Sovereign's Emissaries," but rather "Supreme God's Emissaries."
...
Purple Thistle Continent, Mirror Moon Cliff.
This was a mountain peak tens of thousands of meters high.
While called a mountain peak, it was actually like a colossal stone tablet, as if cleaved by someone with immense power. This resulted in the two sides of the peak being as smooth as mirrors, allowing one to see their reflection when standing before it.
At the very summit of Mirror Moon Cliff stood a purple castle constructed entirely from Purple Jasmine Ore. The castle was surrounded by a ground paved with uniform yellow flagstones. In front of this plaza were two magic arrays, each a hundred meters square.
This was the planar teleportation array of the Purple Thistle Continent.
Every day, countless people were teleported from material planes to the Purple Thistle Continent, and numerous gods needed to travel from the planar teleportation array here to the Seven God Planes and the Five Supreme Planes.
Of course, a portion of people also paid a tremendous price to teleport from here to material planes.
However, ever since the Lord Gods stopped spreading their faith in material planes, it had become rare for anyone to return from a God Plane to a material plane. One could barely see someone returning to a material plane in three to five years.
Before these two massive planar teleportation arrays, six men in tight purple attire, wearing robes with white bases and gold trim embroidered with purple Zijing patterns, stood scattered.
They were soldiers of the Lord Gods, maintaining the planar teleportation array and the surrounding order, belonging to the Purple Jasmine Army under the Purple Jasmine High God.
Currently, in this spacious plaza, over thirty beings of different races were quietly waiting.
They were all individuals who had been teleported to the Infernal Realm for the first time from material planes via the planar teleportation array.
Among these thirty-plus individuals, over twenty were at the Saint Realm, and seven were Demigods.
At this moment, the eyes of those in the Saint Realm were filled with intense unease.
They might have been the proudest of their generation, the strongest dictators, or the descendants of powerful figures in their respective planes.
But upon arriving in the Infernal Realm, they seemed to have become the lowest of the low.
Everywhere they looked, they saw beings more powerful than themselves.
What was even more terrifying for these Saint Realm cultivators was that the gravity in the Infernal Realm was nearly a hundred times that of material planes. They could barely float here, and their flying speed was slower than their walking speed.
This meant they had lost their greatest means of escape. Once danger arose, they could only be at the mercy of the strong.
Take the five soldiers guarding the planar teleportation array, for instance. Four of them were Gods, and the one referred to as "Captain" was an even more powerful High-level God expert!
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, just as those in the Saint Realm were worrying about their futures, one of the planar teleportation arrays emitted a faint glow. Within this light, the space on the array began to distort, and a figure appeared within it.
After the light faded, the figure became clearly visible to everyone.
Black hair fluttered behind him, a slight smile played on his lips, and his eyes appeared somewhat small but full of spirit.
Furthermore, a small tuft of beard adorned his chin, making him appear as a very spirited middle-aged man.
This person was Beirut, who had just arrived in the Infernal Realm from the Yulan Plane.
Upon seeing Beirut, one of the Lord God soldiers stepped forward and said with a smile, "Not bad, you're actually a God. I don't know if you're lucky or smart, but congratulations. At the very least, you'll fare much better in the Infernal Realm than those guys."
As he spoke, this Lord God soldier pointed towards the thirty-plus individuals standing in the plaza.
"Welcome to the world of the strong – the Infernal Realm!"
"Oh? The world of the strong?"
Beirut also revealed a smile.
Having just arrived in the Infernal Realm, he had already detected nearly a hundred God-level experts.
Moreover, apart from the few Demigods standing in the open, the auras of everyone else he sensed were no weaker than his own.
This meant that the nearly hundred God-level experts here were at least Gods, with seven or eight of them being High-level Gods.
As expected of a Supreme Plane.
This way, he could quickly gather more Godheads and strengthen his divine body.
"Hey, kid."
Seeing Beirut's smile, this soldier of the Purple Jasmine Army inexplicably felt a chill and couldn't help but frown and glance at Beirut a few times. "You're from a material plane. Stand over there for now, and I'll tell you about the rules of the Infernal Realm later."
Beirut nodded. Having just arrived in the Infernal Realm, he indeed needed someone to provide him with some intelligence and rules.
In the time that followed, until the second group arrived to relieve the previous five soldiers, those five soldiers from the Purple Jasmine Sovereign Legion came before everyone.
By this time, dozens more people had emerged from the planar teleportation array, bringing the total number of people in the plaza to over one hundred and twenty.
Among them, the Saint Realm accounted for nearly a hundred, and God-level experts numbered twenty-four.
As for Gods, there was only Beirut.
The High-level God among these five spoke to a female God beside him, "Amelia, you give these people a brief introduction to the Infernal Realm first, so they won't be so noisy about the Metal Life later."
"Yes, Captain!"
The female God named Amelia responded with a shout and walked to the front of the crowd, then unleashed her Divine Domain.
In an instant, out of the more than one hundred people in the plaza, over twenty directly unleashed their Divine Domains to counteract the influence of Amelia's domain on them.
As for those in the Saint Realm, they could only remain frozen in place in terror, unable to do anything.
Even though the Demigods had also opened their domains, there was still a certain gap between the Divine Domains of Demigods and High-level Gods. Although they could move, their speed, strength, and divine power were suppressed by 20%.
Only Beirut, also a God, was enveloped in black mist and was completely unaffected by the domain.
"Silence!"
A majestic voice emanated from Amelia's mouth.
Azure light spread with the sound, reaching the ears of the Demigods.
Immediately, the Demigods who were still trying to escape trembled, and a flicker of confusion crossed their eyes.
Beirut's small eyes narrowed slightly.
This Amelia fellow is not simple.
Beirut, who also possessed a Wind Element Divine Clone, could sense from the soul attack emanating from this voice that this God named Amelia had made significant progress in fusing the Profound Mysteries of Laws of "sound waves" and "music."
A few seconds later, these Demigods recovered from the soul shock, and their gazes towards Amelia were filled with fear.
This person is simply too powerful.
Seeing their gazes, Amelia nodded with satisfaction.
Indeed, these newcomers to the Infernal Realm were the best.
If they had traveled a bit further, many people in the Great Cities and Prefecture Cities wouldn't have taken them seriously at all.
Amelia even felt that if they didn't have the identity of the "Sovereign Legion," they might have been robbed by bandits on the road.
"Everyone, since you are all arriving in the Infernal Realm for the first time from the material planes, I will briefly introduce the Infernal Realm to you."
"Among the Seven God Planes and five Supreme Planes, our Infernal Realm is the Supreme Plane with the most Lord Gods."
