"I'm going to deal with Theresia. We're both lower-level main gods at the Great Perfection stage, so we're about the same level!"
Although Qinghuodao was under immense pressure due to the relentless pursuit of the Lord of Light, he was still eager to fight his first battle after becoming a main god, determined to show his prowess and resist the attacking Theresia.
"The Lord of Light is very fast and will be here soon." Beirut said worriedly. This place is still quite far from the Magnolia Plane, separated by vast spatial turbulence, which is hundreds of millions of miles away.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that the Law of Light is inherently adept at speed, not inferior to the Fire, Lightning, and Wind elements, while the Earth, Water, and Dark elements are not considered proficient in this aspect.
That Lord of Light, a high-ranking god, possessed immense willpower and power, and also wielded a supreme artifact…
"This is tricky." Beirut frowned, pondering a solution, after all, the attackers were not of the same level.
At the level of the main gods, apart from the fusion of the four divine beasts of yesteryear, other divine beasts, such as the rare God-Devouring Rat, which is found in only two out of countless planes, cannot truly change the ranking among the main gods with their innate divine abilities, unlike the higher gods who can almost run rampant.
Of course, on the other hand, most of the main gods are extraordinary, either divine beasts or those at the Great Perfection stage, none of them are inferior. There are actually quite a few main gods who are neither divine beasts, do not possess innate supernatural powers, and whose comprehension is not top-notch, and who have not reached the Great Perfection of the laws and rules. But they are at least at the level of Hell Asuras and Purgatory Rulers. The profound mysteries of their fusion are definitely not weak, and they are considered powerful.
Beirut's innate divine abilities are ineffective even against lower-level gods due to the power of their will.
Only through cultivation aided by the "God Devourer," absorbing the essence of divinity, and tempering one's own body to become incredibly hard, coupled with a main artifact made of divinity material, can Beirut truly possess the trump card and the confidence to stand up to any lower-level god. Even when facing a lower-level god at the Great Perfection stage, he would not be weak in the slightest.
The higher-level gods are far superior to the lower-level gods; their willpower and power are almost ten thousand times greater!
In fact, the difference in willpower between different levels of main gods is about a hundredfold. Therefore, even if the power of main gods is the same, a main god who is one level higher has an overwhelming advantage over those of lower levels, making them almost unable to resist!
Moreover, the attacker was a high-ranking god who had refined a supreme artifact...
Beirut figured that even if he joined forces with Qinghuo and Cao Ya for a head-on confrontation, they would still be no match.
"It's alright, Lord of Light, leave it to me." Cao Ya suddenly smiled and said.
Immediately, Beirut, Qinghuo, and even Linley and Bebe all looked at them with astonishment.
They were all quite familiar with Cao Ya and knew that Cao Ya was not an arrogant or conceited person.
Therefore, Cao Ya was truly confident he could withstand the Lord of Light, which is why he spoke up and insisted on attacking alone… But that was a Supreme God! Each law and rule possessed only one ruler, a being worthy of being called a ruler! Even if Cao Ya had achieved perfect mastery of all five elements, with his willpower multiplied in various ways…
Wait a minute! Could it be that Cao Ya isn't just at the Great Perfection of the Five Elements, but has already mastered the Six Elements Laws...?
That's unlikely... To achieve the Great Perfection of all five Laws in such a short time is nothing short of a groundbreaking feat, a one-of-a-kind achievement throughout history... Great Perfection is not such an easy thing!
But then they thought again, Cao Ya can already master the Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Lightning elements, so it's not entirely unacceptable to add another Dark or Light element.
In fact, given Cao Ya's situation, such a situation could be considered normal!
"Alright! Cao Ya, I'm counting on you. There's no need to take too many risks. Just make a move from a distance and stop them."
Beirut didn't hesitate much; time was of the essence, and there was no room for delay. Besides, he trusted Cao Ya; there must be a reason for him speaking like this, and most likely, it truly meant that there were more Great Perfection Laws at play.
Before he finished speaking, Beirut exerted all his strength, unleashing his powerful will and the power of the wind god. A hazy blue aura enveloped Beirut, Linley, and Bebe, and they were like balls of light. In the blink of an eye, they had already gone far away, passing through the psychedelic spatial turbulence, and sped towards the Magnolia Plane.
"Fight and retreat! Don't linger in the battle. I'll return to meet you after I've escorted Bebe and Linley back."
Beirut transmitted his voice again, giving repeated instructions, his face full of solemnity and threatening tone.
“Lord Beirut, if this doesn’t work, I’ll take out the Crimson Diamond…” Linley said again.
Although the Crimson Diamond is related to the Supreme God's mission, and if completed, it might offer a chance to plead with the Supreme God of Life to resurrect Delin Corvort, Linley is not a selfish person. He already feels extremely guilty for putting Beirut, Qinghuo, and Caoya in danger for his own selfish reasons, and if anything else were to go wrong... Linley feels he would be guilty beyond redemption!
"Yes, Grandpa, you know the situation with the eldest brother. At worst, we can cultivate for millions, even hundreds of millions of years, until the eldest brother... um, and Mr. Cao Ya... have become stronger, no less than the Sovereign. Then we can join forces, break into the God of Light's plane, take action directly, reclaim the Crimson Diamond, and teach that Sovereign of Light a lesson! Let's stop that old bastard from being so arrogant and domineering..."
Beibei nodded in agreement. Anyway, the boss still had the Iron Crown, which outsiders didn't know. Once the Red Diamond Crystal was handed over, the Lord of Light wouldn't be able to complete the Supreme God's mission without gathering all three tokens.
Beirut laughed and said, "No need! Linley, do you think that the Lord of Light will let it go after handing over the Crimson Diamond? Heh, what a joke! If he gets a second Supreme Artifact, he'll probably challenge the Ruler of Rules and stand on equal footing with those four powerful figures!"
"At that time, our Magnolia faction will truly be in despair, with no possibility of resisting the Lord of Light!"
After speaking, Beirut scanned the spatial turbulence with his divine sense. Not only Cao Ya, Qing Huo, and the Lord of Light "Augusta", the Wind God "Theresia", but also some other gods gradually entered the vast range of his divine sense. Some were fire-type, some were light-type, and most of them carried malice.
"I must speed things up and get back as soon as possible to meet up with Qinghuo and Caoya!" Beirut thought to himself.
He carried Linley and Bebe, soaring through the vast, endless spatial turbulence, their figures flashing in the light.
On the other side, Cao Ya and Qing Huo, their divine senses sweeping across the area, also made the same discovery: the appearance of the Light God was not surprising. As subordinates of the Light Sovereign, obeying his orders was perfectly normal.
Normally, the two mid-level main gods and four lower-level main gods of each system should be subordinates of the sole upper-level main god, that is, the ruler of the same system. However, in reality, the four rule rulers are too powerful, and even in the seven law systems, many main gods have submitted to the rule rulers.
Of course, they didn't dare to become arrogant and ignore the law master of their own faction.
Even the rulers of the laws each have their own stances, or they may side with a particular ruler of the rules.
However, this is not a reason for ordinary gods to defy the laws of the ruler. Under the absolute suppression of power, no one dares to act recklessly. If there is an order, they must think carefully about whether to carry it out, lest they offend the ruler.
"However, that lower-level fire god... ah, it's that guy 'Boteer'."
At first, Cao Ya was somewhat surprised by the appearance of a fire-type main god, in addition to the light attribute.
They're not all governed by the same law. Generally, if someone has submitted to the ruler of the rules and hasn't done anything wrong, why bother with the ruler of light? Unless, like Theresa, a lower-level god of the wind element, her home plane was persuaded by the ruler of light along the way, who promised her great benefits...
However, the direction from which the fire-elemental god flew clearly indicated that it came from a region of a higher plane.
After Cao Ya confirmed the identity of the fire-elemental god through divine sense probing, he was no longer surprised.
That lower-level fire-elemental god was named "Botie'er." It was this person who Cao Ya defeated when he displayed his god-like power on the interdimensional battlefield.
At that time, due to the conflict in the interdimensional battlefield, Cao Ya took action and killed many experts of the "Augusta Family" of the Light Lord, and also killed a Great Perfection Upper God, which angered the Light Lord. He also asked Bo Tie'er to go to the scene first to capture Cao Ya, and also to interrogate him about the secret of being able to surpass the Great Perfection... However, the subsequent development was beyond everyone's expectations.
Cao Ya has no secrets. He simply relied on his exceptional comprehension to forcefully achieve the Great Perfection of multiple systems. With his willpower multiplied exponentially, he became comparable to a God. He is the first person in the entire universe to attain the Godhood through self-cultivation in countless years!
The fire-elemental god, Bötter, thus became a figurehead, enhancing Cao Ya's reputation and making him famous throughout countless planes. However, he was merely a foil, showcasing the power of this special god. Therefore, Bötter deeply hated Cao Ya; his fate was unprecedented for any god, a disgrace to all gods!
Of course, Bote'er selectively ignored that he had forcefully descended onto the dimensional battlefield, full of malice, and used the power of a main god to force Cao Ya to kill him at will. His arrogant and domineering behavior, yet his desire to know the secrets, was evident. If Cao Ya hadn't been too weak at that time and had to be wary of the Lord of Light who was about to arrive, as well as various main gods, including the Lord of Rules, he would have truly wanted to kill Bote'er directly!
"It seems that the lesson we taught Botair in that battle wasn't profound enough," Cao Ya muttered to himself, a cold glint in his eyes. If it weren't for their own formidable strength, they would have been captured and killed by Botair before the other main gods arrived on the interdimensional battlefield, their souls searched and their fates stolen, and who knows how tragic it would have been.
However, Boteer and several other main gods of the Light faction lagged far behind, exchanging words and observing the movements ahead with their divine senses. They were not in a hurry, nor did they dare to approach rashly.
To assassinate Bote, one must get past the Lord of Light who is in hot pursuit. No matter what Cao Ya's purpose is, the Lord of Light will not let go of the opportunity and will wield the supreme artifact to kill Cao Ya.
Every single one of the main gods in the Magnolia faction deserves to die!
Cao Ya was not afraid of the Lord of Light, but he certainly didn't dare to say that he was absolutely certain he could defeat him.
The supreme artifact of material attack, when activated by a superior god, possesses astonishing destructive power!
Moreover, when dealing with the Lord of Light, one must also consider the Lord of Fate behind him.
Of course, Cao Ya would not hesitate or be timid because of this, only using six or seven tenths of his strength... If a good opportunity comes, he will not miss it and will kill the Lord of Light!
Even if they can't defeat the Lord of Fate for the time being, they can always do what Beirut and Qinghuo did: hide in the Yulan Plane, cultivate diligently for hundreds of millions of years, and then go and kill the Lord of Fate, "Auf," once they are strong enough.
"Beirut, since you have rejected my kindness, don't blame me for being ruthless."
At this moment, Theresa, who had stepped out of her hometown Dylan dimension, did not receive Beirut's promise. Her eyes suddenly turned cold and resolute, and her will surged with power, transforming into a whirlwind with endless blue light that swept through the spatial turbulence!
"This guy has quite the courage." Qinghuo smiled slightly, and a fiery red spear suddenly appeared in his hand. The sharp energy contained in the spear tip even caused the surrounding spatial turbulence to dissipate!
"A lower-level main god, take him down. He's dreaming!" Cao Ya said calmly, his body protected by a five-colored light shield, his willpower flowing, and the laws he used were profound and mysterious. Even Qing Huo, a fire element master, was astonished by his various moves.
"This Cao Ya... his fusion of profound laws is simply too terrifying! Is he even human?!"
Theresa's expression was somewhat grim. He realized that Cao Ya's current strength was such that even if he were a lower-level main god at the peak of the wind element, he would still be no match for him. In a one-on-one situation, he might even die, let alone with the addition of a fire element main god.
He didn't even know that Qinghuo, like him, was a lower-level main god at the Great Perfection stage!
Otherwise, Theresa would never have had the courage to intercept the Magnolia camp and, having already lost the ability to coerce them and without a second main godhood, to try to obtain the ultimate technique of the Lord of Destiny bestowed upon her by the Lord of Light.
"Light Lord, your speed needs to be even faster! Cao Ya, who is at the peak of the five elements, plus that lucky kid, I can't hold out for long... If there is danger, I will fight to the death!"
Theresa transmitted her voice to the Lord of Light, making it clear that she would not risk her life.
The Lord of Light didn't see anything wrong with this and replied, "A brief delay will suffice!"
“You are a wind-elemental god, and you are fast enough that you can retreat to the Dylan plane in time if there is any danger.”
"Once this is done, I will do you a favor and persuade the Lord of Fate to bestow upon you my ultimate skill!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Light's gaze turned ruthless. He refused to believe that Beirut would remain unmoved after capturing Cao Ya and Qing Huo, who were covering the rear. He was even willing to offer up his divine core in exchange for these two gods! He might even demand the Crimson Diamond!
Moreover, once the transaction is completed, he can always renege on it and kill Qinghuo and Cao Ya again to obtain another fire-type main godhead! Suddenly, he felt a little regretful. What Cao Ya possessed was only a high-level godhead, not a main godhead, and its value was a billion times less.
As for the so-called ultimate skill... the Lord of Light chuckled inwardly, for he and the Lord of Fate were the same person!
He was learning all the techniques created by the master of fate, but because his emotions had been separated, the comprehension of his two bodies differed greatly. Even if he understood Ouf's various states of mind, he could not reach his level.
The Lord of Light also did not believe that Theresa could compare to his own body, which he had devoted himself to cultivating!
"Moreover, the real trump cards, the most powerful ultimate techniques, are not going to be given out."
"The usual ones, once given, have little impact and are no longer valued."
That's why the Lord of Light agreed without hesitation, without even haggling. Exchanging a few not-so-secret techniques for a divine status and a supreme divine token was a sure-fire win!
He contacted the fate master of the other body, described the situation, expressed his agreement, and had no objections.
