Only by returning to the Magnolia Continent and allowing Lin Lei to pinpoint the location through the connection between his divine avatars could he do so.
The Yulan Continent is Cao Ya's hometown, so no matter how strong he is, he will not be rejected.
This would allow him to return from Hell to his long-lost homeland via a spatial teleportation array—in reality, amidst the vast spatial turbulence, Cao Ya had no idea where the coordinates of the Magnolia Plane were.
Whether it's Cao Ya's Tianshan Mansion or Beirut's Youlan Mansion, both are located on the Blood Peak Continent, which is the territory of the Blood Peak God.
The Blood Peak God was aware of Cao Ya and Beirut's true situation. However, he was not a ruler of the Destruction Rule system, and although he coveted the mission of the Supreme God among the seven main gods, he was self-aware enough not to interfere, lest he bring trouble upon himself and be easily killed by the various rulers.
Over countless years, the Supreme God has repeatedly carried out missions, and there have been instances where such greed has taken hold, leading some to underestimate the killing intent of their sovereign, ultimately resulting in their eternal demise.
Because they were all on the Blood Peak Continent, he, Cao Ya, and Beirut would occasionally get together, and their relationship wasn't bad.
At this moment, the divine sense swept across and detected the movement of the two. After a moment of contemplation, the Blood Peak God, mindful of their friendship, still transmitted his voice to remind them: "Are you two going to the Magnolia Plane to the Okaren Plane to rescue Linley Baruch, the Great Perfection expert of the Four Divine Beasts Clan?"
"I must remind you that the Lord of Light has been keeping a close eye on things! He may have already made preparations in the Realm of Light, but if anything changes, he will be dispatched, bringing with him supreme artifacts!"
"By the way, the other main gods—especially those few Law Rulers—are all eager to be second to the Light Ruler! They all want to control the Supreme Artifact and be on par with the Light Ruler. On the contrary, the Ruler Rulers who already have the Supreme Artifacts don't have such a strong need and are more indifferent."
"Currently, only the Crimson Diamond has appeared among the Supreme God's tokens; the other two are still nowhere to be found. However, since it concerns the Supreme God's mission and the Supreme Artifacts, the rulers of each faction are still paying close attention. Who knows, if news comes out, they might start fighting, disregarding all rules."
The Blood Peak God sincerely warned that, in his view, Beirut and Cao Ya were indeed gods, but like him, they were only lower-level gods. Even with Qinghuo, these three, whether they were at the Great Perfection stage or special divine beasts, all had mysterious aspects and extraordinary power, making them quite powerful among lower-level gods.
Even when they join forces, they can at most fight to a draw with an ordinary mid-level main god. They are unlikely to be able to defeat a mid-level main god who has reached the Great Perfection stage, let alone the rulers of the upper-level main gods, who are far inferior!
Therefore, the Blood Peak God believed that they should not interfere in the Supreme God's mission.
Besides, there's only one token; it's not worth offending the rulers for it.
It should be noted that their faction in the Magnolia Plane has already offended the Lord of Light and is deeply hated by him.
"In the eighteenth level of the Graveyard of the Gods, there are two lower-level godheads, one of earth element and one of water element. I plan to give them to Linley to refine. In this way, the power of the will of the two godheads, combined with the power of his own mutated four-element soul will, can be fused with the power of the godheads and the mysteries of different law systems, thus increasing his power... If he's lucky, he might also collect the last supreme god's token, summon the supreme god of life, and obtain the supreme artifact..."
"Perhaps Linley's combat strength can surpass that of a mid-level main god and touch the threshold of a high-level main god! With the three of us helping each other, we no longer need to fear that Lord of Light!"
Beirut transmitted his voice, sounding extremely excited, his tone jubilant and unusually enthusiastic, showing absolutely no sign of hesitation or fear. This was because, as things were unfolding, they were getting better and better, contrary to his expectations.
Originally, he intended to give the remaining three main godhoods to his own offspring, but none of his children were up to par and could not independently become high-ranking gods, thus failing to meet the prerequisites for refining main godhoods.
Later, he changed his attitude and began searching for gods who met the criteria in the Magnolia Plane.
Qinghuo was the first to come into view, and was granted a lower-level main godhood of the fire element.
Afterwards, Cao Ya embarked on the path of the seven elemental laws and gained Beirut's favor. Beirut was also observing Linley, the four elemental god clones of earth, fire, water, and wind, who had good comprehension, as well as their relationship with Bebe.
Back then, Cao Ya, having reached the Great Perfection of the Four Elements, defeated the invading lower-level fire god "Bo Tie'er" on the plane battlefield. This action not only shocked all the gods and deities, but also gave Beirut hope in the fight against the Lord of Light!
However, Cao Yaxie declined Beirut's offer, feeling somewhat worried.
Therefore, Beirut devoted all its energy to training Linley.
In particular, Linley's misfortune turned into a blessing, as his four-elemental soul mutated. He could not only fuse all the mysteries of the same element, but also divine power of different attributes and the mysteries of laws from different elements. This significantly improved Linley's strength! Most importantly, Linley now possessed a power of will!
Beirut believes that the Magnolia Plane finally has the resources to contend with the Lord of Light.
Therefore, both Beirut and Qinghuo were determined to help Linley with this mission to the Supreme God, to fight for the mission, complete it, and meet the Supreme God to make their demands.
Having become a supreme god, yet confined to the Magnolia Plane, unable to allow a divine avatar to enter the highest planes or god planes, to chat and laugh with all the supreme gods, to participate in supreme god meetings, and to watch plane wars... This is a major regret for Beirut and Qinghuo! Extremely unwilling!
Lin Lei is one of their hopes! The reason I say "one" is because Cao Ya is also one.
After all, everyone knows that Cao Ya has embarked on the path of the seven laws. With the four laws at their peak, he is comparable to a lower-level main god. If he were to achieve the peak of all seven laws—earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, and darkness—wouldn't he be able to fight to a draw with the rulers... or even be on par with the rulers of rules!
Of course, Beirut and Qinghuo were also very clear that achieving the Great Perfection was no easy feat; it was extremely difficult.
Beirut has cultivated for millions of years, but he is still only at the Asura level and has not yet achieved perfection.
Qinghuo has only reached the Great Perfection level in the Fire Law; his other divine avatars have almost no hope of reaching the Great Perfection, falling far short. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to place their hopes on others instead of shouldering the burden themselves!
Because of these considerations, Beirut thanked the Blood Peak God for his reminder, but had no intention of changing his mind.
Seeing this, the Blood Peak God did not try to persuade them further. Although their relationship was indeed good, they were both gods with strong wills. Once they made up their minds, it was difficult for others to persuade or change them. It was not worth offending the gods of the Magnolia camp.
He is the lower-level main god of destruction. He is not even the master of the upper-level main gods, let alone the middle-level main gods. His attitude towards any main god is: if you can avoid offending them, try not to offend them!
"Be careful on your journey!" Just then, the gentle divine sense of the Purple Thorn God enveloped them.
As a supreme god, even in the highest plane, their divine sense can easily encompass all directions without restriction. Even gods at the Great Perfection level do not have a very wide coverage area.
The highest planes and divine planes possess exceptionally high spatial stability and immense binding force.
"That Lord of Light is not easy to deal with. He should have received the news by now and is heading to the Okaren Plane. If you have made your decision, you'd better hurry up," the Purple Thorn God warned.
Cao Ya thanked her. This female mid-level main god of the Destruction Rule system was originally his main god and had even received a main artifact as a gift. Later, as her power grew, the Zijing main god took the initiative to sever this relationship.
But Cao Ya remembered the favor and help from the Bauhinia God at the beginning.
Therefore, even though Zijing is now stronger, he still holds Zijing God in high esteem.
Apart from the main gods Zijing and Xuefeng, all the other main gods sent out their divine senses.
Not only the main gods of the Destruction Law system, but also many other law gods who live in seclusion in Hell, as the highest plane, have submitted to the Destruction Lord and are under his protection.
The Law Ruler, in terms of combat power, is completely inferior to the Ruler of Rules. They might even need to find a backer for themselves, so how could they have the face to restrain the mid-level and lower-level main gods under their command?!
Of course, most of the main gods were merely bystanders, unfamiliar with Beirut and Caoya, and therefore unlikely to offer advice or offer any suggestions, nor did they have any intention of vying for the supreme divine artifact.
Even deep down, they harbored a strong desire! But they understood that only the terrifying ruler was truly qualified to compete!
Only a few major gods will speak, either directly intimidating or amicably seeking a deal.
For example, Xingyin, the main god of the Starry Sea, is a mid-level main god of the destruction system, just like Zijing. In the vast hell, he is arrogant and looks down on everyone, only under the rule of the destruction.
"Beirut, Cao Ya, tell Linley to hand over the Crimson Diamond to me." The Star God "Xing Yin" said arrogantly, "Otherwise... heh, the Four Divine Beast Families, the Azure Palace, and the Heavenly Mountain Palace are all on the Blood Peak Continent. That Blood Peak God wouldn't dare to defy me!"
"And the only one whom the Sovereign promised to protect was Beirut, your avatar of the Dark God."
Upon hearing the Star God's threatening words, Cao Ya raised an eyebrow and almost took action, rushing into the Starry Mist Sea to kill the god.
However, considering that the Lord of Destruction—the Star God "Xing Yin"—is ultimately under his command, and that the primary objective at present is to deal with the Lord of Light and the Lord of Fate behind him, it is best not to provoke the Lord of Destruction unless absolutely necessary.
Beirut's face was ashen, yet he looked utterly exhausted, filled with anger and a sigh.
The Star God is a mid-level god. Even if he and Qinghuo joined forces, along with Cao Ya, they couldn't defeat him. Only Lin Lei, after refining two godheads and fusing the power of the god, was able to win!
Even though they are both gods, there are differences between them, and unlike other gods, they cannot make up for it through their own cultivation.
The level of power one possesses is almost predetermined by the rank of the main godhead one refines.
Even if one reaches the Great Perfection, one is still only a top performer within the same level and cannot fight on par with the main god of the next realm.
Cao Ya's existence is the only exception in countless years!
However, Beirut does not believe he has any hope of achieving a grand symmetry across multiple systems!
Even the Dark Law system, which truly possesses the highest aptitude, is trapped at the Asura level, unable to integrate all the profound mysteries and advance to the Great Perfection, let alone the Wind system. It was entirely due to the main godhead that it was pushed up.
Beirut also did not believe that he could replicate Linley's soul mutation.
"Let you be arrogant! Once Cao Ya achieves greater perfection in the laws, Lin Lei refines two main godheads, and even obtains a supreme artifact... Xing Yin, then your death will be imminent!"
Beirut secretly vowed that Cao Ya and Lin Lei, members of the Magnolia camp, were truly individuals whose potential was yet to be determined.
He and Qinghuo, however, had already determined their upper limit: they were among the best of the lower-level main gods, but not even as good as the worst mid-level main gods. Even working together, they could at best defend themselves against the attacks of the Star God "Xingyin".
Moreover, he and Qinghuo's divine avatars, fearing the Lord of Light, were unable to come to Hell. Even if they left the Magnolia Plane to venture into the spatial turbulence and explore the secrets of the world, they would have to be constantly vigilant and on guard against a sneak attack from the Lord of Light, and return to the Magnolia Plane immediately.
Beirut did not answer the Star God, but flew straight to the space teleportation array on the Blood Peak Continent.
Due to the urgency of time, Beirut, being an avatar of the Dark God, possessed material attack and defense comparable to a Great Perfection, but was ultimately not a Main God. In the Supreme Plane, his flight speed was not slow; however, the Blood Peak Continent was vast and boundless. By the time he flew from Tianshan Prefecture to Iron Blade Gorge, it would probably be too late.
"Your divine avatar and I will go to the Okaren plane to meet Linley, Bebe, and the others."
Cao Ya transmitted his voice, saying, "Your Dark God avatar can stay in Hell. There's no need for you to leave. With the Lord of Destruction protecting you, the Lord of Light won't dare to touch you."
Beirut thought it made sense, so he prepared to turn around and return to his Azure Palace.
However, their indifference angered the Star God. Standing in the Starry Sea of Mist, he used his divine sense to cover the Blood Peak Continent, watching Cao Ya and Beirut's movements, his eyes suddenly turning cold and ruthless.
"A human, a rat, yet so arrogant, ignoring me... he's practically courting death!"
The Star God's expression was grim, filled with murderous intent. With a hum, the power of the Star God surged around him, striking the heavens. Countless cracks appeared, with colorful spatial turbulence flashing continuously.
The scene was terrifying. The gods observing the starry sea and mist were filled with fear and fled into the distance.
"That rat in Beirut is an avatar of the main god, hiding in the Magnolia Plane. The one in Hell is merely an avatar of the Dark God, and is protected by the Overlord. I can't easily touch him. Furthermore, not being able to kill the avatar of the main god has no impact on his status; he remains a main god-level being."
"As for Cao Ya... hehe, relying on the Great Perfection of multiple systems, he barely caught up with the lower-level main god, and he's already so arrogant, self-important, and looks down on everyone..."
The Star God's face was filled with coldness. In a chilling tone, he muttered to himself, "Those Great Perfection cultivators all have this kind of arrogance. It's disgusting! If it weren't for the Four Rulers setting some rules to restrain the Gods... I would have taken action long ago and killed those Great Perfection cultivators to make myself feel better."
“Cao Ya, he dares to offend me even though he's not protected by the Lord of Destruction, he's incredibly audacious…”
"Even if the Lord of Destruction is watching, and with that woman Zijing around, I can't kill him, but I must beat him into a dead dog, make him kneel on the ground, and show his submission to me!"
"call!"
The Star God, with an uncontrollable killing intent, was about to charge towards Blood Peak Continent.
