Beirut invited the two men to sit down and served them fine wine. The three of them drank and talked.
"When I first heard about you from Qinghuo, I couldn't believe it," Beirut exclaimed.
Even now, he still finds it hard to believe that a high-ranking god could become a main god simply through acquired cultivation!
"Haha, the gap between a main god and a Great Perfection is huge, but there are eleven systems of laws and rules in the world, aren't there? If you comprehend them all, even without additional rewards of willpower, the eleven inevitable willpowers alone are enough to make you an extremely powerful main god!" Cao Ya laughed.
"Huh?" Beirut was stunned.
11th series?
"Just kidding, I don't have that ability either. My current state of perfecting the four elemental laws is already beyond my expectations." Cao Ya spread his hands.
"Right, let's get down to business." Qinghuo said seriously, "More than 10,000 years ago, Beirut obtained four lower-level main godhoods—the four that belonged to the Four Divine Beasts."
After adding a sentence, Qinghuo continued:
"Among them, Beirut has already refined the lower-level main godhood of the wind element, and I refined the lower-level main godhood of the fire element many years ago."
"The remaining Earth Godhood and Water Godhood happen to correspond to the two elemental laws of your Great Perfection, Cao Ya..."
At this point, Qinghuo and Beirut exchanged a glance and nodded.
“What I mean is, Cao Ya, you refine those two lower-level godheads, and you’ll gain two more portions of lower-level god-level willpower, plus your own five portions…” Beirut’s eyes shone with anticipation. “Not to mention comparable to the four rule rulers, even the seven law rulers, even the stronger lightning-type ruler among them, might not be able to defeat you.”
"Perhaps only the Lord of Light, who controls the supreme artifact, can suppress you by relying on the advantage of the supreme artifact," Qinghuo pondered.
"No matter what, you can fight the Lord of Light! A head-on confrontation will surely be a close match!" Beirut rubbed his hands together, looking very excited.
Qinghuo understands Beirut's expectations.
You should know that more than 10,000 years ago, he seized the opportunity, snatched the corpses of the four divine beasts from the tiger's mouth, and became a lower-level main god of the wind element. His main god avatar has stayed on the Yulan Continent ever since, and dares not leave.
Although the material plane is vast, it is still somewhat cramped for high-ranking gods, let alone a supreme god.
The Lord of Destruction intervened, but only protected their ordinary divine avatars.
Before obtaining the main godhood, Beirut's strongest form was the Dark God's clone, which, relying on its innate divine abilities, was comparable to a Great Perfection.
But since the wind god's avatar has become the main god.
Without a doubt, the wind-elemental god's avatar is currently Beirut's most powerful body.
Beirut's long-cherished dream is that his divine avatar can openly and legitimately leave the Yulan Continent and enter the highest planes such as Hell, to the wind-elemental divine plane where he naturally has a territory.
Now, he saw such an opportunity in Cao Ya!
How could Beirut, including Qinghuo, not be excited?!
"Of the four Rulers, the Ruler of Fate should be the strongest. As for the remaining three, it's hard to say," Beirut explained. "And among the seven Law Rulers, the Ruler of Light should be the strongest because he possesses a supreme artifact. Slightly weaker is the Ruler of Light because he has a lower-level god avatar."
"The remaining five rulers, namely the Water Ruler, the Dark Ruler, the Earth Ruler, the Fire Ruler, and the Wind Ruler, are all of similar level, all being ordinary rulers."
Just then, Qinghuo suddenly grinned and said:
"Most importantly, Cao Ya, you are now a lower-level god. If you seize the opportunity, you can kill two lightning gods and two fire gods."
"By then, once all four main godheads have been refined, and given that you've reached the Great Perfection of these four elements, you'll also receive an additional reward of willpower..."
A glint flashed in Qinghuo's eyes.
Even if the rules govern, you're not necessarily going to lose to them!
“Yes, that makes a lot of sense.” Beru nodded excitedly.
After so many years, he finally saw the possibility of equalizing with, or even suppressing, the Lord of Light. His feelings were indescribable.
They both believed that Cao Ya would absolutely not be able to resist the temptation of two main godhoods!
Throughout history, among countless supreme gods, who could refuse the status of a chief deity?
And there were two of them!
However, to their surprise, Cao Yazhen refused.
When they saw Cao Ya shake her head, the two of them were dumbfounded.
Why wouldn't you accept the divine status offered to you for free?!
Do you really think the Lord of Light will let you off the hook?
Being born in the Magnolia Plane means you are destined to be enemies with the Lord of Light!
Although the incident stemmed from Beirut snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
However, after more than ten thousand years, that hatred has long been etched into the very marrow of the Lord of Light.
As everyone knows, the Lord of Light is a domineering, arrogant, and vindictive villain!
“Cao Ya, you…” Beirut was anxious and was about to speak up to persuade him.
"Listen to me."
Cao Ya raised his hand to stop the two of them, and said with a serious expression:
I appreciate your kindness.
"It must be said that the two main godheads are indeed the most precious treasures in the world!"
Cao Ya spoke the truth.
In the Panlong universe, because the main gods cannot be cultivated later in life, the preciousness of the main godhood is unparalleled by anything else.
Even the most powerful artifacts!
Because only the supreme god can use the supreme artifact.
"Then why..." Beirut or Aoki asked, puzzled.
You acknowledge that it's a priceless treasure, so why did you refuse it?
Not enough?!
The problem is, before you rose to prominence, Qinghuo had already reached the pinnacle of fire-type skills.
And they don't have the main godhood of the lightning element.
“If it were before, I would have been overjoyed and would have returned to the Magnolia Plane on the spot to refine the main godhead and become a main god.” Cao Ya sighed and said, “But things are different now. My path is no longer to refine the main godhead.”
Beirut and Qinghuo looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You're still dreaming of perfecting the laws of wind, darkness, and light?!" Beirut glared.
Qinghuo was also surprised.
He achieved the Great Perfection of the Four Laws, leaping from the realm of Upper God to the level of Lower God, crossing the insurmountable barrier, and becoming comparable to a Lower God.
This is unprecedented.
And yet you're still dreaming of the ultimate perfection of the other three systems of law...
There really is a desire to forcefully advance to the Dominator level through acquired cultivation, or perhaps... a stronger will?!
"Why not?" Cao Ya smiled calmly.
Having already achieved the Great Perfection of all four elements, how could we possibly stop here?
The Seven Laws are related to his path to transcendence.
If the seven laws weren't enough, Cao Ya was also planning to comprehend the four major laws.
Where would he find so many divine cores to refine?
If they go too far, they might be wiped out by the combined forces of the four rule-makers before they even become powerful, because they have broken the rules.
Perhaps, there's no need for the four rulers of the rules to join forces.
One is enough to crush him!
In addition, he was worried that the chief deity would become a constraint.
After all, his situation was different from Lin Lei's.
Cao Ya has no soul mutation, so he cannot fuse different divine powers, let alone the profound mysteries of different laws.
Furthermore, achieving the Great Perfection of the Four Elements Laws is comparable to that of a lower-level main god.
If it's the Great Perfection of the Seven Elemental Laws...
The guaranteed minimum is comparable to the rule-maker's!
With the future in sight, Cao Ya naturally declined Beirut's offer and refused to refine the main godhead.
“Compared to me, Linley is more suitable to refine those two main godheads,” Cao Ya said with a smile.
"Lin Lei?"
Beirut pondered for a moment, then said:
"To be honest, Lin Lei was indeed my target for testing from the very beginning."
“After his four-element soul mutation, he should have been selected, but Cao Ya, your situation is too special…”
Beirut shook his head.
Since it was Cao Ya's own choice, he would respect it.
Moreover, he was also eager to see if Cao Ya could continue to achieve the Great Perfection.
Is there a day when one can break through to the level of a ruler through cultivation after birth?
That was exciting news for all the gods.
"Lin Lei's soul has mutated, allowing him to fuse different divine powers, and he also receives additional rewards in terms of willpower. Furthermore, he can fuse with the profound mysteries of different systems of laws..." Qing Huo muttered to himself, his eyes growing brighter as he spoke.
“Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, we have the two main godheads of Earth and Water, only lacking Wind and Fire… If we devise a plan, find an opportunity to kill the two lower-level main gods of Wind and Fire, and have Linley refine all four main godheads…” Beirut said, taking a deep breath, then his spirits lifted.
"He also has a chance to rival the ruler!"
Beirut was so excited.
He couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in the courtyard.
"Haha, I never expected this! In my Magnolia Plane, not only have three main gods appeared, but now there's a candidate for a fourth main god, and this person even has the potential to become a ruler! And then there's Cao Ya..."
Beirut was laughing so hard he almost cried.
"Isn't our Yulan Continent, a single material plane, more powerful than an entire divine plane?!"
“The divine plane was also created by the main god. Who says that the material plane is necessarily inferior to the divine plane?” Cao Ya said with a smile.
"By the way, Cao Ya, when are you going to create your own divine plane?" Qing Huo asked.
“If you have this intention, you’d better use the dimensional teleportation array to return to the Yulan Continent and establish a presence near our home plane, otherwise…” Beirut said, “that Lord of Light will always be a threat!”
“I don’t plan to do that for now,” Cao Ya said, spreading his hands. “After all, the main god created the divine plane by using the power of will contained within the main godhead in order to comprehend the profound mysteries of that system’s laws, but I’ve already reached the Great Perfection…”
"And the other three systems of laws are not related to it."
"I'll stay in hell and quietly comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws."
Cao Ya smiled.
Now, even in the highest plane of hell, he can roam freely.
“Well, that’s fine.” Beirut nodded. “Anyway, your Tianshan Mansion is also on the Blood Peak Continent, not far from my Youlan Mansion.”
“However, let’s not tell Linley about the main godhood yet,” Qinghuo said with a smile. “Let’s wait until he has integrated the mysteries of different law systems before we talk about it.”
"So that he won't become complacent and neglect his cultivation in his excitement."
Beirut nodded.
That's the same idea he had.
"Haha, let's not talk about that anymore, come on, let's drink." Beirut laughed and filled the glass with wine.
Today is the second happiest day for him in over ten thousand years.
The three drank heartily until the next day.
Qinghuo stayed in the Azure Mansion in Beirut and was too lazy to travel to Hell again.
After all, he had already ventured out once.
Cao Ya returned to his Tianshan Prefecture and secluded himself for arduous cultivation.
As for that battlefield, it was clearly no longer his concern.
However, with the return of many main gods, the message of Cao Ya, the acquired main god, gradually spread through those close to the main god, such as relatives, friends, and disciples.
Because of the unprecedented nature of the God of the Day after tomorrow, the news spread extremely quickly, and soon, the four supreme planes and the seven divine planes all heard the news.
Countless high-ranking gods went mad.
Even the Great Perfection!
It turns out that the main god is not fixed, nor can it only be achieved by refining the main godhood.
With diligent cultivation, one can one day ascend to the rank of a main god!
Cao Ya's message spread rapidly across countless dimensions.
This acquired deity is regarded by countless gods as the person with the strongest comprehension throughout history!
And the Tianshan Prefecture under his rule became a sacred place for countless gods.
The Underworld, the Realm of Life, the Celestial Realm, the Earth God Realm, the Fire God Realm, the Wind God Realm, the Water God Realm, the Thunder God Realm, the Dark God Realm, the Light God Realm...
Countless high-ranking gods have paid a huge price to enter Hell through the dimensional teleportation array, wanting to personally visit the Heavenly Mountain Prefecture on the Blood Peak Continent.
Witness firsthand the only post-natal supreme god in history!
As for the gods of hell, they gather in Tianshan Prefecture.
However, Cao Ya refused to see any of these people.
It was merely a message sent to the guards of the Tianshan Prefecture to maintain order.
With him around, no one dares to act recklessly.
Later, this interdimensional war between the Dark God Realm and the Light God Realm ended, with the Dark God Realm winning a great victory due to Linley's intervention.
Everyone now knows that a Great Perfection level figure has emerged from the fallen Four Divine Beasts family of Hell.
Moreover, he had a very close relationship with Cao Ya, the chief deity of the Later Heaven.
The situation of the Four Divine Beasts Clan suddenly turned around. Many so-called friends who had disappeared in the past came to visit. The four clan leaders were annoyed, but they could not afford to offend them, so they could only greet them with a smile.
The four clan leaders discussed and elevated Lin Lei to the highest level of importance!
After Linley and Bebe collected enough Commander Badges to resurrect their friends and family, they returned to Hell and visited Tianshan Prefecture.
Cao Ya received him and inquired about the profound fusion of laws. Lin Lei smiled wryly and sighed at the difficulty.
Beibei, Delia, and the others nearby pretended not to hear.
They haven't even integrated any of the mysteries yet.
Having visited Tianshan Prefecture several times before, Lin Lei and his group only stayed for a short time before leaving to venture into Hell and travel to other supreme planes and divine planes.
Yet he was remarkably carefree.
Lei Jing and Lei Hong also visited together once during that period.
Cao Ya treated them to a meal, and soon after, he saw them off.
Soon, Cao Ya returned to his secluded cultivation state.
As for the mission from the Supreme God...
That depends on Lin Lei's own fate!
After Cao Ya of Panlong broke away from the system space, he ventured into the dimensional battlefield. Later, due to the perfection of the four laws, he became comparable to the main god, which shocked countless planes and countless gods. In other universes, Cao Ya also experienced a lot of messy things.
******
******
The world of "Battle Through the Heavens".
Northwest, Black Corner Region.
The underground magma world of Garan Academy.
Inside the cave of Tuoshegudi.
Cao Ya has been in seclusion here, and his cultivation has greatly improved, having already broken through to the Dou Di realm.
"Sigh, only four-star." Cao Ya sighed.
In the world of "Battle Through the Heavens", the four-star Dou Di is the strongest, capable of modifying bloodlines and creating a powerful clan.
However, four-star universes are far too common in so many universes.
"In the Great Thousand World of [The Great Ruler], a four-star Dou Di is probably nothing special," Cao Ya muttered.
Since entering this place, he has relied on the abilities of other Cao Ya to break the shackles of the ancient emperor Tuoshe and release the imperial-ranked Chu Dan and Zhu Kun, who had been trapped here for thousands of years.
It has been many years since then.
He finally managed to advance to the rank of Dou Di by relying on his self-created "Fire Codex".
There should have been extraordinary celestial phenomena affecting the Dou Qi Continent, but he was in the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave, where the power of the Dou Emperor remained, isolating him from the outside world.
Secondly, he deliberately erased it.
Strange celestial phenomena are meaningless.
"I wonder if there is anyone on the Dou Qi Continent whose bloodline is similar to mine?" Cao Ya suddenly touched his chin.
His closest relatives were long gone.
But even after several generations, there might still be some people who are related by blood and can be considered distant relatives.
When he breaks through to the Dou Di realm, those people should rightfully receive some benefits.
Even without any extraordinary celestial phenomena, many people should understand that a new Dou Di has emerged in the world.
It should be noted that before entering the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, he had caused a great disturbance on the Douqi Continent and had visited all eight ancient clans.
He also has the title of "Green-Robed Emperor".
"Huh? Someone came in?"
Suddenly, Cao Ya was slightly surprised and looked up at the magma world outside the cave.
"The Emperor-grade embryonic pill is gone, and Zhu Kun has escaped. Who else would come in?"
"Is it for the imperial essence within the stone statue?!"
