Normally, whether it was a newborn Shadow mouse or a Stone-Eating Mouse, they would only be low-level magical beasts, needing time to grow before becoming high-level ones.
But Liya's child was born as a Seventh-Rank magical beast the very moment it came into the world.
There was no doubt—this little one was undeniably a God Eater Rat.
Still, Sadius had to personally confirm it. He extended his divine sense and indeed saw that the newborn's aura was unquestionably that of a Seventh-Rank beast.
Immediately, from Yulan Plane, Sadius sent a message to Beirut, who was in the Dark Forest.
"Lord Beirut, Nien and Liya's child has been born."
In the Dark Forest, Beirut was slightly puzzled.
Why would Sadius inform him about the birth of two juniors' child?
True, those two had decent talent and had already become Gods.
But even so, they were only Gods due to certain lucky encounters; Beirut didn't pay them much attention.
Sadius' next words, however, carried weight:
"There's something I find very strange. Nien and Liya are ordinary magical beasts. Their offspring should have been just like any other—low-tier when young. But for some reason, their child was born already at Seventh Rank. So I came to ask you, Lord Beirut. You are their ancestor; perhaps you would know why such a mutation would occur?"
Suddenly, the entire Yulan Plane's divine power rippled with a strange fluctuation.
"What did you just say!?" Beirut's divine sense instantly spread, his tone filled with shock.
"Lord Beirut, is something wrong?"
"You're saying… Nien and Liya's child was born as a Seventh-Rank magical beast?"
"That's correct. Which is why I suspect it's some kind of variation. From what I know, even God-beasts' offspring are not born as high-level magical beasts right away. That's why I thought to consult you."
"Where are you right now?"
"In Purple Sun Mansion on the Redbud Continent."
"Protect the child. Do not let anything happen to it! I will send someone to retrieve you immediately!"
Beirut's tone was urgent, almost trembling with anxiety.
Sadius smirked inwardly. As expected, Beirut really cares about Bebe.
After all, this child would be the second God-Eater Ratin all the countless planes—essentially, another piece of Beirut's lifeblood.
At this moment, in the Dark Forest, Beirut, after receiving the news, immediately pondered how to bring Nien, Liya, and their child back to Yulan Plane.
The Infernal Realm was far too dangerous. Only on the Yulan Plane, where he could control everything, would he feel safe about the child's growth.
Should I send my divine clone to Redbud Continent?
Even though Beirut's divine clone was comparable to a Great Perfection, it would still take several months to reach Purple Sun Mansion on Redbud Continent.
That was even using a material plane as a transit hub, first teleporting to Moon Mirror Cliff on Redbud Continent.
If I directly teleport from Yulan Plane to Redbud Continent, the time would be cut in half…
After a moment of thought, Beirut sent a divine message to Bluefire on the Bluefire Continent.
"Bluefire, can you help me with something?"
Bluefire had been quietly staying on Bluefire Continent.
Ever since becoming a Sovereign, he had learned that a Sovereign clone could not enter a material plane with their physical body.
But Bluefire didn't mind. His fire-element laws were already at Great Perfection, and he had become a Sovereign—he stood at the pinnacle of all beings.
Now his only goal was to break through in the earth-element laws, which was why his earth-element clone was constantly cultivating.
"What's the matter?" Bluefire asked. If Beirut himself was personally requesting help, it surely wasn't a trivial matter.
"I want your earth-element clone to go to the Infernal Realm, to Purple Sun Mansion on Redbud Continent, and bring back Nien, Liya, and their child to the Yulan Plane."
Bluefire was puzzled. Why would Beirut ask for such a small favor?
Beirut's next words answered that.
"That child… is very likely the second God-Eater Ratin existence."
Bluefire immediately understood.
No wonder Beirut was so anxious.
After all, a God-Eater Rat was a super God-beast, and it was almost impossible for a pure-blooded offspring to appear—there was no second female God-Eater Ratto pair with Beirut. So logically, none of his descendants should ever be God-Eater Rats.
But now, among his offspring, it was very likely that a second God-Eater Rat had been born.
How could Beirut not be excited?
If that child truly was a God Eater Rat, Beirut would cherish it even more than his own child.
And the Infernal Realm was too dangerous. Around the newborn, the strongest protector was only Sadius—a soul-mutated God.
Beirut absolutely could not leave that child in the Infernal Realm.
"Very well. I'll head out immediately."
Soon after, Bluefire's earth-element clone stopped cultivating and immediately left Bluefire Continent, flying toward the extreme northern ice plains.
Meanwhile, in the Amethyst Mountains, Sadius was still tirelessly refining amethyst crystals. For some reason the more he refined the better he felt…not just his soul but his body.
This was a rare opportunity to strengthen his body, not something that could easily be obtained again.
If he didn't seize it now, who knew if he'd ever get the chance to enter the inner Amethyst Mountains again?
If he tried to buy amethysts to strengthen his body, the cost would be astronomical.
So far, the Amethyst Mountains seemed calm, showing no signs of unusual changes.
But then, something strange happened.
When Sadius once again transformed from human form into his true body, an eerie phenomenon appeared.
The originally dark metallic spikes on his body began to turn purple, and they even looked slightly translucent.
Moreover, new spikes began to grow out—tiny, purplish, semi-transparent formations.
If counted carefully, one would notice that Sadius' body now had exactly 108 spikes.
While Sadius was still puzzled, an overwhelming force of destruction suddenly appeared.
In the next instant, a woman clad in purple robes suddenly descended upon the Amethyst Mountains.
"Mother!"
The dozing Reisgem immediately jumped up and ran toward her.
This woman was none other than the sovereign of the Redbud Continent—Redbud Sovereign herself.
She turned her gaze upon Sadius.
"Sadius, why do I sense the aura of the Amethyst Crystal's Origin on you?"
Sadius was confused. Amethyst Crystal's Origin?
Then suddenly, it clicked. Could what she called "Amethyst Crystal's Origin" be that faint special energy he'd been extracting from the amethyst crystals all this time?
"Lord Sovereign, do you mean that faint energy I've been refining from the amethysts that strengthens my body?"
"What? You can extract the Amethyst Crystal's Origin from amethysts!?"
The Redbud Sovereign's expression was now filled with genuine shock.
"Show me. Right now." She commanded.
Sadius could only comply.
He picked up a crystal and began refining its energy.
The normal soul energy from the amethyst was absorbed into his soul, while the extremely faint special energy was guided by his three-way fused divine power into his body.
It was weak—so weak that normal beings would never notice it—but it didn't escape the eyes of the Redbud Sovereign.
"Destruction… Earth… Darkness… I see now."
A joyful smile spread across the Redbud Sovereign's face.
She had just discovered the reason Sadius could refine the Amethyst Origin:
It was because of his unique three-way soul mutation.
To extract the Amethyst Crystal's Origin, aside from being a naturally-born Amethyst Beast, apparently only a soul-mutated being with both Destruction and Earth attributes could do it.
Having one more attribute was fine, but Earth and Destruction were mandatory.
The Redbud Sovereign stared at Sadius, excitement shining in her eyes.
This discovery thrilled her even more than when she learned about the existence of a second Azure Dragon!
"Sadius, you are without a doubt the greatest gift the Overgod has ever given me!"
