"Beirut, Qinghuo, Caoya, I knew it was you three audacious madmen!"

The divine sense of the Lord of Light also detected Cao Ya and the others, and he sent a cold and ruthless message through his voice.

Cao Ya curled his lip. If it weren't for the Lord of Fate, he would have really wanted to seize the opportunity to kill the Lord of Light!

"Haha, Augusta, you're too late. You'll be eating our dust." Beirut laughed.

"You can still laugh? When I arrive, the three of you will be killed one by one by me with my supreme artifact, like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, your divine bodies shattered and your souls destroyed."

The voice of the Lord of Light, "Augusta," was extremely cruel; the resentment he expressed could be felt even across billions of miles.

In particular, he was targeting Beirut! After all, more than 10,000 years ago, Beirut seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snatch the corpses of the four divine beasts and obtain the four main divine cores.

The Lord of Light, who fought valiantly and traversed billions of miles, actually ended up benefiting a mere high-ranking god?!

With the domineering nature of the Lord of Light, he was naturally furious and itching with hatred. He wanted to capture Beirut himself and torture him to pieces, turning his bones to dust!

Unfortunately, that was a material plane, and the main god's avatar of the Lord of Light couldn't enter at all. Although the condensed divine power avatar was not weak, possessing a seven-star demon and nearly at the level of an Asura, it was powerless against Beirut, a powerhouse comparable to the Great Perfection, and was shattered on the spot.

Subsequently, thanks to the protection of the Lord of Destruction, Beirut's Dark God avatar was still able to roam freely in Hell, making friends with various main gods, or high-ranking gods at the Great Perfection and Asura levels.

Despite his anger, the Lord of Light was powerless to do anything about it—he didn't want to expose his secret relationship with the Lord of Fate, who had two bodies, and become an enemy of all the gods. He knew he couldn't defeat the Lord of Destruction alone—so his inner rage was enough to burn down mountains and seas!

"Still spouting threats? More than ten thousand years ago, when coercion failed, you resorted to bribery. Do you think I'd even give you a second thought?" Beirut sneered. The Lord of Light had inexplicably killed the four divine beasts, and he had just happened to witness the battle and gained a tremendous amount of wealth. With four main godhoods in hand, how could he be swayed by the Lord of Light?

No matter what conditions the Lord of Light offers, none are as enticing as the status of a supreme god, not even the supreme artifacts. This is because supreme artifacts can only be used by those at the level of a supreme god.

In the end, the Lord of Light still pressed him, but Beirut was not afraid at all and didn't bother with him.

Beirut thought to himself that since he was born in the material plane, he had a natural place of protection. If he had been born in the supreme plane or the divine plane, he might have had many concerns and would not have dared to offend the Lord of Light.

Behind them, billions of miles away, the Lord of Light sped along, his will and power surging, the luminous divine power coursing through the air. The multicolored spatial turbulence could not get close to him, nor could it stop his advance.

His divine sense swept forward and he saw Cao Ya, Beirut, Qinghuo, Lin Lei, and Beibei.

"Huh, Cao Ya's body shield has turned into five colors..." The Lord of Light was surprised.

His mind raced, and he immediately realized that Cao Ya's cultivation must have broken through again!

"Five elements at their peak..." The Lord of Light's face darkened, his eyes turning icy cold.

Years ago, during the interdimensional battlefield, when Cao Ya first displayed the power of the main god, the Lord of Light arrived ahead of time, intending to force him to surrender, and even brazenly took action to eliminate Cao Ya.

Although he didn't know Cao Ya or Lin Lei at all before, any god from the Magnolia Plane who was even slightly powerful, the Lord of Light, would be killed and not allowed to grow.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the rules, the Lord of Light would have wanted to erase the Magnolia Plane altogether, shredding it to ashes with a supreme artifact. Of course, the supreme god of rules governs the universe, and the Lord of Light dared not act recklessly.

He had thought that after Cao Ya reached the Great Perfection of the Four Elements, his progress would be stalled, with hardly any advancement for countless eons. Who would have thought that he would already be at the Great Perfection of the Five Elements? Such a rate of progress…

Even the Lord of Light felt a sense of disbelief and utter absurdity.

When did achieving the Great Perfection of the Laws become so easy? In the entire universe, the number of those who have reached the Great Perfection is less than the number of Gods! Even if we include Gods who have reached the Great Perfection, the total number is at most equal.

"And then there's Linley, also a Great Perfection cultivator, who has only cultivated for a few thousand years. He possesses four elemental divine avatars: earth, fire, water, and wind, and also has the Azure Dragon clan's innate divine ability, 'Dragon's Roar,' which can interfere with time..."

A strong killing intent appeared on the face of the Lord of Light. The situation in the Magnolia Plane was unexpected. He did not take Beirut and Qinghuo seriously. Even if they were special divine beasts, even if they were at the Great Perfection, they were still just lower-level main gods.

However, if Cao Ya and Lin Lei were allowed to rise to power and refine the main godhead, things might not be so simple...

He sensed an extremely strong sense of crisis emanating from those two people, and he could not allow them to continue to grow stronger! Whether it was Cao Ya's five-element Great Perfection achieved through millions of years of cultivation, or Lin Lei's mere few thousand years of single-element Great Perfection, both were unprecedented and shook the universe!

He was unaware that Linley was a mutated soul of four elements, possessing the power of will under the pretext of Great Perfection.

Otherwise, the Lord of Light's apprehension would increase several times over! The profound mysteries of fusing different elements and the power of fusion have pushed Linley's normal cultivation ceiling to an unimaginable level, potentially allowing him to transcend!

Moreover, Lin Lei's comprehension and talent are indeed possible, and this is not just empty praise.

In just a few thousand years, it has advanced to the Asura level, which is almost non-existent in the entire universe.

Just now, I received a message from my subordinates that Cao Ya, a special god in Hell, has left. It is very likely that he has returned to the material plane. The Lord of Light knows the reason for Cao Ya's departure without having to think.

Instantly, the Lord of Light tore through space, stepped out of the Realm of Light, and, through the senses of his subordinates' divine avatars, locked onto the plane of Okaren. He rushed there, intending to arrive before Beirut and the others and wait for them to come to him!

However, the layout of this universe, with its countless material planes distributed across vast spatial turbulence, is largely confined to a single region, not too far apart from one another. The four supreme planes, the seven divine planes, and the plane battlefields, however, are separate entities located far away on another front.

Roughly estimated, the distance between the Yulan Plane and the Okaren Plane is dozens of times closer than the distance between the Okaren Plane and the Realm of the God of Light! This is the source of Beirut and Qinghuo's confidence!

Cao Ya's confidence stemmed from the magical power he had hidden within him, which, when unleashed, was no less formidable than that of the Lord of Light. His own five elements at their peak were already extremely powerful, not to mention the other forces he possessed.

"This is the best opportunity to wipe out all the main gods of the Yulan Plane in one fell swoop! Otherwise, once they return to the Yulan Plane, they will hide like turtles, and their main god avatars will not come out. Because of the supreme god of rules, I will have no way to deal with them."

Behind him, the Lord of Light thought to himself, even if it meant sacrificing some things, he would kill Beirut and the other two!

At this moment, Beirut laughed and said, "Lord of Light, stop chasing, it's a complete waste of time."

The Lord of Light suddenly sneered and transmitted his voice, "Beirut, do you think I would come to hunt you down unprepared? Heh, naive! Theresa, I'm begging you, after this is done, I will ask the Lord of Fate to bestow upon you a supreme technique. That Lord of Fate still owes me a favor."

Suddenly, Beirut and Qinghuo's expressions changed drastically, as if they had a bad premonition.

"Grandpa Beirut, what's wrong?" Bebe asked. Both Bebe and Linley noticed the unpleasant look on their faces and became worried. Who exactly was "Theresia"? Another chief god?

Lin Lei pondered that if all else failed, he would have to abandon the Crimson Diamond. He couldn't just stand by and watch Beirut, Qinghuo, and Cao Ya be attacked by the main god and perish.

"I still have the Iron Crown. No more than ten people know this, and they are all relatives or friends. They won't betray me! Hmph, as long as I don't take out the Iron Crown, even if the Lord of Light gets the Crimson Diamond, it will be of no use to him. He won't be able to complete the Supreme God's mission!"

"As for the special effects of the Crimson Diamond, the intense life force it contains is of great help to the gods. But what level are the main gods? Only supreme artifacts are what they desire!"

"Well, in comparison, higher-ranking gods actually prefer the tokens of supreme gods, because only this type of item can be used by gods. Even if the tokens are not as valuable as supreme artifacts!"

Linley thought to himself, and then used his divine sense to tell Beirut his plan. He told them not to risk their lives, but to throw out the Crimson Diamond to save their lives at the critical moment. He believed that the Lord of Light would hesitate.

Beirut smiled. He hadn't misjudged Linley. If greed clouded his judgment and he couldn't see the bigger picture, then he was truly beyond saving. However, with all three of the main gods present, even with the appearance of "Theresia," there was still a chance they could safely return to the Yulan Plane without abandoning the Supreme God's relic.

Of course, he still told Qinghuo and Caoya that if things got really dangerous, they should retreat immediately!

Cao Ya thought to himself, no one knows yet that the nine spirit pearls, one of the tokens of the Supreme God, are in his hands. Including the Red Diamond and the Iron Crown from Lin Lei, the Magnolia camp has now collected all three tokens that the Supreme God of Life has bestowed this time.

"Beirut, if you agree to my request, I will leave immediately without saying another word and will not stop you!" Suddenly, another powerful divine sense spread out, carrying a threatening tone.

“Theresia!” Beirut’s face darkened. She was a lower-level god of the wind element, just like him, but she was at the Great Perfection stage and possessed more willpower. She was a top figure among the lower-level gods.

Theresa coveted the supreme deity in Beirut's possession and repeatedly sought it out, only to be refused each time. Beirut didn't even give her the Lord of Light; there she is, Theresa, who wants the supreme deity without giving anything in return… Keep dreaming!

The divine essence is arguably the most precious thing in the universe, bar none!

Supreme artifacts are ultimately external objects, unlike the main godhead, which can truly transform a high-ranking god, causing a qualitative change and placing him above billions of gods!

From the Okaren Plane to the Magnolia Plane, one will pass through many material planes in between.

Among them was a plane called Dylan, the homeland of Theresia, a lower-level god of the wind element. Upon hearing the news, he returned to his homeland from the wind element god plane to wait for her.

In Theresia's view, the benefits of this move far outweigh the drawbacks, so it's worth doing! Either stand on the side of the Lord of Light and block the three main gods of the Magnolia camp, and afterwards obtain the top-level ultimate techniques created by the Lord of Fate, which might allow his strength to surpass that of a lower-level main god and rival that of a middle-level main god.

He wasn't afraid that the Lord of Light would break his promise. Secret techniques weren't supreme artifacts; if many people learned them, it wouldn't have much of an impact. Moreover, as long as the Lord of Light wanted to continue ruling the God-Planet of Light and avoid becoming an object of contempt among the main gods, he wouldn't go back on his word and invite ridicule.

As for the fact that the Lord of Fate owed the Lord of Light a favor countless years ago, when the universe was still in its infancy, this news has spread far and wide. Theresa had also heard of it and did not believe it to be true.

He could never have imagined that the Lord of Fate and the Lord of Light were the same person. The so-called rumors were merely the Lord of Fate finding an excuse to help the Lord of Light before he was in danger. Even if their beliefs differed, he would not stand idly by and watch his other body perish.

Theresa believed that she had a second option besides helping the Lord of Light.

That was extortion of Beirut, demanding the title of a chief god in exchange for which he would retreat and cease his obstruction. Even if he offended the Lord of Light… he was a chief god originating from the material plane, not particularly afraid of being hunted down by the Lord. Besides, the one he allied himself with was powerful enough to stand in the way of the Lord of Light and protect him!

In the Dylan plane, a silver-haired man with a hooked nose emerged, his body shimmering with a blue aura. He stood motionless amidst the dreamlike spatial turbulence, as steady as a mountain, clearly a supreme god.

He was Theresia, one of the seven main gods of the wind element. His divine sense covered the area, and he not only discovered Beirut, Qinghuo, and Caoya, but also saw the Lord of Light rushing behind them.

Even worse, there are some deities on their way from afar, whose stance is unknown.

"Beirut, agree to my demands and I will let you go, otherwise..." Theresa's eyes were cold, and a gale swept across billions of miles.

The Lord of Light's eyes flashed slightly, his heart filled with anger. That damned Theresia, she actually wanted to have her cake and eat it too!

But he didn't think Beirut would agree to Theresia's offer of the main godhood. If that were the case, wouldn't it be better to give it to him? It would also prevent the disaster from happening at its source... Even though he obtained the main artifact, he wouldn't let Beirut and the others go and would have to kill them!

Cao Ya's divine sense covered a vast area, allowing him to see many material planes as well as the main god. Due to the power of his will, his divine sense was strong and its area was extremely vast. Even spatial turbulence could not harm him, and he could communicate even across billions of miles.

Cao Ya didn't think Beirut would agree to Theresa's blackmail, but he still gave her a heads-up.

“He’s a despicable person. I can’t possibly agree to his request! What if he goes back on his word, gets the main godhood, and then helps the Lord of Light against us? That would be a complete loss, a total disaster.”

Beirut replied that he could not agree.

Furthermore, those two main godhoods were both stored in the Yulan Plane, and she didn't bring them with her. Theresa was from the Dylan Plane, so she still couldn't enter the Yulan Plane.

“Besides Augusta and Theresa, there are other main gods lurking behind, waiting for their chance to strike!” Cao Ya whispered, which made the expressions of the others serious and solemn.
