The Lord of Destruction, the Lord of Fate, frowned, seemingly genuinely worried.
On the contrary, the Death Lord didn't care at all; her relationship with the Magnolia faction was quite good.
The master of life has never been contentious, and she knows very well that achieving perfection is no easy feat.
A group of Law Rulers also frowned, seemingly wary, but quickly remembered that Cao Ya was now able to defeat the Light Ruler who possessed a supreme artifact... Therefore, regardless of whether Cao Ya had improved, they were already no match for him.
They smiled bitterly and sighed inwardly. Each system of laws and rules can only have one superior godhood. The universe only allows one ruler of a single system to exist. But the status of these law rulers... they had to admit that it was rather awkward. They were governed by the rule rulers above, but the gods below were not convinced and had submitted to the rule rulers, basically ignoring their orders.
Those lower-ranking gods remained silent, too terrified to utter a word.
Interfering in the disputes between rulers is tantamount to courting death.
The Bauhinia God looked at Cao Ya with a hint of worry in his eyes. Offending the rulers could be dangerous!
Of course, people like Theresa and Bote'er were more than happy for Cao Ya and the others to be killed by the Overlord!
Beirut scoffed and said, "Great Perfection? You think it's as easy as eating and drinking?"
Qinghuo laughed and said, "Augusta, you are not yet at the Great Perfection of Light, are you? You have lived for countless years and have not succeeded. You must know very well the hardships and difficulties of the Great Perfection."
Augusta's face turned ashen. Damn it, he'd actually been mocked by a lower-level god!
However, since Qinghuo was at the Great Perfection of the Fire Element, he had to admit that Qinghuo was truly qualified to ridicule him in the area of profound fusion.
Lin Lei smiled and said, "Great Perfection is indeed very difficult. Everyone here should have experienced that."
The Lord of Death glanced sideways, and many of the main gods were speechless. Lin Lei was very young, only a few thousand years old, yet he had already reached the Great Perfection. They felt that he was probably going to follow Cao Ya's example and achieve the Great Perfection of multiple systems!
And then Lin Lei actually said here that achieving Great Perfection is difficult?? What nonsense!
At this moment, Cao Ya spoke calmly, saying, "Augusta, you're quite the one to accuse others first. In terms of arrogance and domineering, how many of the main gods can compare to you?"
The gods felt a pang of sympathy. Indeed, the arrogance of the Lord of Light was widely known; who didn't know it? But they couldn't defeat him and had no choice but to be in awe, feeling utterly frustrated.
The Lord of Light sensed something was wrong. If things continued like this, it wouldn't be Cao Ya who would incur the hostility of the main gods, but him! Although he had the trump card of the Lord of Fate, he didn't want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary—the Lord of Fate wasn't strong enough to completely ignore the alliance of the Lords of Rules!
The Lord of Fate suddenly spoke, saying, "I'm quite interested, Cao Ya. How did you achieve the Great Perfection of the Five Elements? Forget about comprehension. According to the information, you were imprisoned in a dimensional prison for millions of years and were only a mid-level god, not even a high-level god. But after escaping, in just a few thousand years, you jumped from an ordinary mid-level god to a special main god..."
At this point, the master of fate, "Auf," stared at Cao Ya with his deep eyes, which remained calm and undisturbed, as if trying to probe his secrets.
"Did you possess a rare treasure of heaven and earth, or... did you accidentally receive a gift from the supreme god?!"
"I'm very curious, could you please answer my question? I would be very grateful."
Auf smiled faintly as he spoke, seemingly genuinely just curious and without any other intention.
In fact, his words had already stirred up a huge wave, diverting the attention of all the main gods, including the rulers, to Cao Ya.
At this moment, Beirut, Qinghuo, and Linley all changed their expressions, beginning to have an ominous premonition.
In fact, Cao Ya's progress was beyond their expectations, but since they trusted each other and were on the same side, they didn't pry and ask, lest they damage their friendly relationship.
Who among them hasn't had some extraordinary encounters to achieve their current strength?
Even if it really happened, it was Cao Ya's luck, and had nothing to do with them.
But now that the Lord of Fate has openly revealed Cao Ya's special status, it has undoubtedly aroused the envy of the gods.
This is why Lin Lei's four-element soul mutation was attributed to the Great Perfection.
The Great Perfection being thousands of years old is indeed astonishing, but ultimately still somewhat acceptable. Among the dozens of Great Perfection beings in the universe, some have made extremely rapid progress in their cultivation.
The mutation of the soul in the four elements is unprecedented in history! If the news were to leak out, Lin Lei would be targeted by all the main gods, who would want to capture him, imprison him, and conduct research on him.
Cao Ya's Five Elements Laws Perfection was far more shocking than his Four Elements Soul Mutation!
However, Cao Ya was much older than Lin Lei, and when Cao Ya rose to fame, he was already a master at the level of the Asura Commander and had become the Lord of the Heavenly Mountain Prefecture in Hell.
Therefore, most of the major gods believed that Cao Ya had spent countless millennia to reach the pinnacle of a high-ranking god. In the material plane, he had already achieved the status of a ruler, with no one able to approach that level. Then, he ventured into the higher planes, gained insights, and finally achieved the Great Perfection of multiple systems, realizing a tremendous achievement that was unprecedented and likely to remain so!
Those who knew the inside story, such as Beirut, Qinghuo, Linley, and the Bauhinia God, would not publicize it and would tacitly keep it a secret for Cao Ya.
However, if someone with a keen eye investigates diligently and mobilizes the channels of the main god to issue commands, they will surely gain something, discover the peculiarity of Cao Ya's cultivation progress, and thus develop greed.
However, despite the probing gazes of most of the main gods and their hidden greed, Cao Ya remained calm and unperturbed.
"Ah, right, he's at the Overlord level, even Augusta was defeated by him. Our malice... heh, to put it bluntly, if we dare to make a move, he'll send us all to our deaths!"
The gods sighed inwardly, extinguishing the greed that had been burning within them, and focused their divine senses on carefully observing the situation.
If the rulers start a war, they must immediately fly away from the battlefield to avoid being caught in the crossfire and perishing!
“However, since Lord Auf has spoken, he must have some desires. Cao Ya… Ha, he can ignore us, but does he dare to be arrogant towards Lord Auf?” Theresa, Bote, and the others thought to themselves, their faces sneer as they stared at Cao Ya.
Among the group of high-ranking gods, the four rule masters, as well as the light master, the lightning master, and the wind master, all looked at Cao Ya with different expressions. The darkness master, the water master, the earth master, and the fire master, on the other hand, sat silently without making any statement.
They had long since resigned themselves to their fate and were too lazy to fight. They already possessed the power to dominate, and as long as they didn't offend those few individuals, they could rest easy and roam the universe freely. So why take the risk?
They don't have any supreme artifacts, so if they offend Cao Ya, it's entirely possible that he could kill them!
Even the missions of the Supreme Gods didn't interest them much; they only paid a cursory glance at them.
"Cao Ya, it seems you're not going to answer me." Auf sighed, the power of the main god within him surging, his will and might faintly visible. Judging from his appearance, he was clearly planning to make a move.
The Lord of Light was overjoyed. As one person, he knew all too well how terrifying Auf was. If Auf had any murderous intent, he would have been killed by him alone, let alone Cao Ya, a special god.
"Huh?" The Lord of Destruction, the Lord of Life, and the Lord of Death all had a slight change in their eyes, keenly sensing that Auf's actions were somewhat different from usual, as if there was some unknown secret involved.
Ouf was indeed focused on training to become stronger. He would crave any technique or item that could help him improve his strength. However, in the past, he was more discerning and would not take things by force. He was willing to trade. Unlike now, he would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement!
Considering the long-standing rumors, Auf owes Augusta a favor...
The three rule masters suddenly realized that Auf's move was twofold: first, to find out Cao Ya's trump card, and second, to repay Augusta—killing two birds with one stone!
The Thunder and Wind Sovereigns were filled with resentment. If the wondrous artifact bestowed upon Cao Ya by the Supreme God fell into the hands of Auf, they would have no chance to seize it, let alone surpass the Light Sovereign and become on par with the Rule Sovereign!
The two of them were not yet convinced and were waiting for an opportunity to become stronger and stand on equal footing with the four rulers of the rules!
"Don't tell me I don't have any rare items. Even if I did, why should I give them to you? Who do you think you are?" Cao Ya said coldly. "If you want to get revenge for Augusta, just say so. What's the point of beating around the bush?"
"Among all those in the universe, the Supreme God is present, with only a few absent. Is there any need to conceal it? Everyone knows each other!"
Auf suddenly smiled and said, "That makes sense! We are both at the Sovereign level, so my attack on you directly is not against the rules."
After speaking, he reached out and tore through the void, stepping out of the wind-elemental divine plane and into the spatial turbulence. Only a faint voice echoed: "Please come to the spatial turbulence for a battle!"
Cao Ya was not afraid at all. Although Auf was strong, he was not weak either. It was a good opportunity to test the power of the master of fate and the various unique skills he had created!
So the gods on the ship watched as Auf and Cao Ya left the wind-elemental god plane one after another and went to the spatial turbulence to clash. Facing Auf, the "first god", Cao Ya was fearless!
"This Cao Ya... he's got guts!" the Destruction Lord praised, then followed to observe the battle from the outside.
His goal is to challenge Ofu in order to reach the pinnacle of the gods. Perhaps, from an outsider's perspective, he can glimpse some of Ofu's weaknesses and increase his chances of winning the upcoming challenge!
"Too reckless, Of, is not comparable to Augusta." The Death Sovereign shook her head, not very optimistic about Cao Ya, but she was not prepared to stand idly by. In the critical moment, she had to take action and rescued Cao Ya, blocking Of's killing move.
The Fate Dominator faction is already powerful enough; if Cao Ya's opportunity were to fall into the hands of Aofu...
The Death Sovereign thought to herself that in the future, the Destiny Sovereign would completely unify the universe and rule over countless planes. Even the few Rule Sovereigns would have to submit to him in order to save their lives.
The Lord of Death gave the Lord of Life a wink, and the two women immediately reached an agreement and left in tacit understanding.
"Cao Ya, you are too arrogant! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Lord Auf!" Augusta sneered, secretly hoping that Cao Ya would act this way so that Auf would have an excuse to kill him!
Soon, a group of main gods left the wind-elemental god plane and went to watch the battle in the spatial turbulence.
Beirut, Qinghuo, and Linley were all quite nervous. After all, the reputation of the Lord of Fate was extraordinary. The title of "First God" was not self-proclaimed, but recognized by all the gods!
It is no exaggeration to say that none of the main gods present had a good chance of Cao Ya, even though he had a glorious record of defeating the Lord of Light!
"Cao Ya is indeed quite arrogant, daring to provoke Lord Auf. He's really courting death!"
The gods whispered that Cao Ya's only chances of survival, besides Lord Auf showing mercy, were the assistance of the Rulers, or his escape back to the material plane.
Theresa and Bote laughed heartily, eagerly anticipating the scene of Cao Ya's demise!
"I'm going to help Mr. Cao Ya!" Lin Lei suddenly transmitted his voice and flew forward.
Beirut and Qinghuo didn't stop him; their strength was indeed insufficient to get involved in a conflict at the Dominator level. However, Linley was certainly qualified. After all, Linley's combat power was basically on par with a Law Dominator, and even if he was inferior to a Rule Dominator, together with Cao Ya, he was enough to rival Auf!
It should be noted that Linley possesses a supreme artifact for material attack, while according to rumors, Of possesses a supreme artifact for soul defense. Clearly, no matter how many extraordinary techniques Of employs to strengthen his body and make it incomparably resilient, he absolutely cannot ignore Linley's material attacks!
This would distract Auf and create an opportunity for Cao Ya. Who knows, the two of them working together might be able to defeat Auf!
However, in the eyes of the Supreme God who was unaware of Linley's power, his unauthorized flight to join the battle was an act of utter foolishness.
"Linley, are you crazy?" The Death Sovereign frowned. She had high hopes for Linley's future and thought he was a smart man. Why would he do something so foolish?
"Linley, you brought this upon yourself. If I kill you, even the four lords will have nothing to say," Augusta said loudly, a sinister smile on his lips. He raised his lightsaber and was about to intercept Linley.
After Linley refined the main godhead, in people's eyes he was only a lower-level main god. He had not offended Augusta, a higher-level main god, and should not act without permission. However, since Linley wanted to get involved in the battle between the rulers, it was reasonable for Augusta to strike back, and no one could find fault with it.
"Kill Linley, obtain the main godhood, and then seize the opportunity to kill Beirut and Qinghuo... Heh, Beirut, you snatched my spoils from the tiger's mouth back then, and more than ten thousand years later, you will finally have to spit them all out!" Augusta thought to himself, his killing intent boiling, and the power of the God of Light almost boiling, entwining that supreme artifact of destiny!
"Aren't you worried? You're so calm."
A little further away, Cao Ya confronted Ao Fu, releasing their auras with boundless terror, which destroyed the turbulent spatial currents of the dreamlike world.
The two of them saw Linley fly out and then Augusta blocked his way, both using their divine sense.
Ofb didn't think Linley was qualified to fight Augusta. He would be considered good if he could last three or five rounds!
However, Beirut, Qinghuo, and Cao Ya all appeared quite calm and not anxious.
This gave Auf a bad feeling.
