Chapter 202: News of Linley's Mother
This Azure Dragon was carved by Linley based on the Four Divine Beast statues he saw in the Sovereign's Palace before.
Although it lacked some of the majesty of those in the Sovereign's Palace, it was more lifelike.
After storing the stone carving in his spatial ring, Linley let out a sigh of relief.
Linley was unaware of the "unity of man and nature" state that Sovereign Tina had spoken of.
However, he felt that his state while carving was similar to the "unity of man and nature" state that Sovereign Tina had mentioned.
This was because Sovereign Tina had said that the "unity of man and nature" state involved merging oneself with heaven and earth, as if one had become a part of heaven and earth.
And Linley's Grandmaster-level stone carving skills, Now, what he needed to do was to stabilize this state, to be able to enter the "unity of man and nature" state at any time and anywhere.
The next step would be to maintain his own clarity while in this state.
According to Sovereign Tina, only by being in "unity of man and nature" and maintaining absolute clarity could one possibly gain insights from the brief moments of heaven and earth laws descending.
Roy, the Fifth Ancestor of the Four Divine Beast Family, comprehended this subtle mystery when he advanced from God to High-level God, and thus created a cultivation method to enhance the essence of the soul.
Of course, what shocked Linley even more was the Fifth Ancestor Roy's understanding of cultivation.
From the fact that there was no path forward after refining a Godhead, he deduced that there was also no path forward after refining a Lord Godhead.
As it turned out, the Fifth Ancestor Roy's statement was correct.
Sovereign Tina inherited the legacy of the Fifth Ancestor Roy, and if she had cultivated step by step, she could have reached the level of a Law Sovereign.
Unfortunately, after the Fifth Ancestor Roy became a Supreme God, the Four Divine Beast Family encountered a great crisis, forcing Sovereign Tina to refine an Earth Lord Godhead.
Although this gave Sovereign Tina the strength of a Law Sovereign, her path forward was cut off.
Even Sovereign Tina's Fire Element Divine Clone had stopped at the stage of Law Sovereign, and had not progressed further over the countless years.
For the following period, Linley completely set aside his comprehension of the profound mysteries of laws and focused on being able to maintain the state of carving stone at any time.
Initially, Linley could only enter the "unity of man and nature" state while carving. As Linley practiced, gradually, Linley was able to carve in his mind without physically carving.
This step alone took Linley nearly three hundred years.
After that, it took Linley over two thousand years to be able to maintain the carving state while keeping his mind tranquil.
It was only then that Linley began to comprehend the profound mysteries of laws.
With a thousandfold increase in Soul Power, Linley's comprehension and integration of the profound mysteries of laws became much clearer.
Compared to Roy and Tina, Linley's current strength, which was already a step beyond Paragon, was sufficient. Therefore, Linley was not in a hurry to break through to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth laws, but instead, as before, he continued to comprehend and integrate the profound mysteries of laws.
...
In the Primordial Space, after Roy saw Tina use Mirror Flower Water Moon to meet with Linley, he paid no further attention.
Linley's "destiny" in the Magic Universe had been gathered by Lin Meng in the Primordial Space. No matter how long it took for Linley in the Magic Universe, he would eventually enter the Primordial Space.
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
"Hong Meng, Lin Meng, Qin Meng..."
"Soon, very soon..."
Returning to his small courtyard, Roy began his own cultivation.
Hong Meng was cultivating, and Linley was also cultivating. Roy did not want to be left behind!
When Linley entered the Primordial Space, Roy felt that even if he hadn't opened up a universe yet, he should at least reach the "Qiankun Realm."
Only by reaching the "Qiankun Realm" could Roy use the power of time and space to move within the Primordial Space.
Otherwise, once Linley signed the Hong Meng Golden Ranking and created worlds, he would be able to move around the Primordial Space like Hong Meng, while he alone would be confined to this small world of Hong Meng, which wouldn't be right.
After the previous epiphany, Roy felt that his soul cultivation had surpassed his physical cultivation by a notch.
When compressing the black holes within his body, Roy truly felt the benefits of strong soul cultivation.
Previously, compressing the black holes within his body even a little required a great deal of mental effort from Roy.
Now, Roy could easily compress the black holes within his body to less than half.
For the remaining time, he could only endure it slowly.
...
In the Star God Realm, on Mercury, within the Four Divine Beast Family's stronghold, a descent of heaven and earth laws occurred.
Beibei and Dilia watched with joy.
This was Linley's Water Element Divine Clone finally merging two profound mysteries of laws, becoming a God.
A few breaths later, the fluctuations of these heaven and earth laws slowly dissipated, and Linley, dressed in a blue robe, slowly descended from the sky.
"Alas, it failed."
Although his Water Element Divine Clone had advanced, Linley did not feel any excitement.
To prepare for this descent of heaven and earth laws, Linley spent nearly two thousand years just adjusting his state, and then spent over four hundred years successfully merging the two profound mysteries of water laws.
However, in the end, Linley was still lost in the descent of heaven and earth laws. He only vaguely grasped something, but it was far from enough to turn this hint of inspiration into a successful cultivation method.
Linley felt even more admiration for Roy, the Fifth Ancestor who created this cultivation technique.
The Fifth Ancestor, Roy, created a soul-enhancing technique after undergoing only one baptism of world laws, from God to High-level God.
He, however, had merely grasped a sliver of inspiration. The gap between them was self-evident.
Fortunately, Linley currently had three God divine clones, giving him at least three more opportunities to comprehend the laws of the universe.
Otherwise, even if he knew how to create methods to enhance soul power, being unable to comprehend the laws of the universe would be a desperate situation.
"How is it? Boss?"
Seeing Linley descend, Beibei asked with wide eyes.
As the closest people to Linley, Dilia and Beibei naturally knew what Linley was attempting.
"I failed."
Linley shook his head. Seeing the slightly dejected expressions of Dilia and Beibei, he smiled, "However, it wasn't without gain. This time, I've grasped that sliver of inspiration. Perhaps next time, I'll succeed."
"Mhm."
Upon hearing this, Dilia and Beibei rejoiced with Linley.
"Oh, right, Boss. Alfonsus was looking for you, but since you were in seclusion, I held him off."
"Patriarch Alfonsus was looking for me?"
Linley was taken aback but no longer delayed. He brought Dilia and Beibei to the hall of the Four Divine Beast Family.
"Patriarch Alfonsus, you were looking for me?"
"Hahaha, Lord Linley, congratulations on your cultivation advancing further."
Alfonsus was the patriarch of the Four Divine Beast Family's branch in the Star God Realm. His strongest divine clone was the Life Element Divine Clone, possessing the strength of a Seven-star Demon.
In the Supreme Plane that gathered almost all the cultivators of the Earthly Laws from the Magic Universe within the Star God Realm, such strength was only considered average.
However, Alfonsus was part of the Four Divine Beast Family. Coupled with his friendship with William, the commander of the Star Legion, no one dared to provoke the members of the Four Divine Beast Family residing on Mercury.
Regarding Linley receiving guidance from Sovereign Tina, Alfonsus would be lying if he said he wasn't envious.
But unfortunately, the gap between them was too vast.
Linley was a rising star in the family; no, he had already become a pillar of the family. After all, he had achieved Paragon.
As for himself, although he had lived for a long time, he had no potential left.
"Lord Linley, didn't you ask me to help inquire about the whereabouts of those whose souls were sacrificed by the Church of Light? Over the years, I've finally gotten results through many friends and some information channels of the Four Divine Beast Family."
"What? Are you serious?"
Upon hearing Alfonsus's words, Linley shot up from his seat, excitedly gripping Alfonsus's shoulders with both hands.
"Crack..."
"Ahhh, ahhh, it hurts, it hurts..."
Linley's current strength was far superior to Alfonsus, a Seven-star Demon.
In his shock, Linley's hands had directly crushed Alfonsus's arm bones.
"Ah, sorry, sorry..."
Alfonsus's screams brought Linley back to his senses. He quickly released his hands, and Alfonsus was then able to use his divine power to restore his divine body.
However, after this incident, Alfonsus's gaze towards Linley held a hint of fear.
"Haha, haha..."
Linley naturally noticed the fear in Alfonsus's eyes. He could only chuckle dryly and take a few steps back, distancing himself from Alfonsus.
In the Netherworld, Linley had been targeted by the Death Sovereign because he had killed Inawei's daughter. To protect his loved ones, he participated in a Plane War that would change his destiny.
In this Plane War, Linley obtained eight red Commander Badges.
Those found by the Death Sovereign included Linley's father, Hogg Baruk, Boss Yale, Third Brother George, Dilia's brother Dixie, and Beibei's parents – a total of six people.
Linley's mother was not found by the Death Sovereign.
According to the Death Sovereign, Linley's mother's soul was never drawn into the Netherworld.
This meant that Linley's mother, Linna, either had her soul annihilated, or she was still alive.
Upon returning to the Infernal Realm, Linley learned about the Fifth Ancestor's inheritance from Patriarch Gaisleith and rushed to the Star God Realm, causing Linley to forget to ask Gaisleith about some matters.
Although Linley's current strength was slightly greater than an average Paragon expert, in terms of experience, he was still far behind those ancient beings who had lived for countless years.
At the very least, some secrets unknown to Linley were merely past events in their long histories.
After arriving in the Star God Realm, Linley continued his own cultivation while also asking members of the Four Divine Beast Family in the Star God Realm for help, requesting them to inquire about the fate of those whose souls were sacrificed by the Church of Light in the material plane.
If it were someone like Gaisleith, who had lived since ancient times, he would surely know the secrets of the Angels of the Light God Realm.
But unfortunately, these secrets had gradually faded with the passage of time.
Although Alfonsus was the patriarch of the Four Divine Beast Family's branch in the Star God Realm, his strength and age were significantly inferior to Boss Yale. Given their status, it was incredibly difficult for them to uncover the secrets of the Sovereign Gods.
In the Magic Universe without Roy's presence, even after Linley became a Sovereign God, he was deceived by Augusta, the Light Sovereign, for trillions of years due to a lack of information. It wasn't until the next Plane War that he learned the truth about the Angels from Utred, the Destruction Sovereign.
Alfonsus had also made a final request to William, the commander of the Star Sovereign Legion, before getting this news from Sovereign Tina.
"Patriarch Alfonsus..."
"Alright, I'll tell you slowly."
After sitting down again, Alfonsus breathed a sigh of relief and recounted the intelligence he had received over the past two thousand years to Linley.
"Lord Linley, according to the news I received from that friend, the Churches of Light in countless material planes are under the command of several Light Sovereigns in the Light God Realm."
"They spread faith for the Light Sovereigns and also seek out women with pure souls to sacrifice to the Light Sovereigns."
"Those women sacrificed in the material planes will be transformed into angels in the Light Sovereigns' 'Angel Reincarnation Pool' and will be under the absolute control of the Light Sovereigns."
"They are a powerful army in the hands of the Sovereigns of the Light God Realm, no less formidable than the Sovereign Legions."
"Angels..."
Linley murmured, lowering his head.
He still remembered the angels he encountered when he attacked the Church of Light with Olivia and others before he had become a God in the Yulan Plane.
However, the angels he saw at that time were summoned by people from the Church of Light through some ritual. They did not possess Godheads and could not unleash Divine Domains.
While such angels were much stronger than Saint Realm experts in the material planes, they could be easily killed by God-level experts, even a Demigod who had refined a Godhead, using their "Divine Domain."
Alfonsus's statement that angels were a formidable army no less than the Sovereign Legions implied that angels held other secrets he was unaware of.
"Yes."
Alfonsus spoke, "Lord Linley, I have participated in several Plane Wars with the Light God Plane, and those powerful angels are not necessarily weaker than me."
"What?"
Beibei exclaimed in surprise, "Alfonsus, are those angels really that powerful?"
It was no wonder Beibei was surprised.
Beibei's cultivation talent was truly not high.
Although he was the second Divine Beast God-Eating Rat, he himself had hardly comprehended any Profound Mysteries of Laws.
He became a God by automatically comprehending the Profound Mysteries of the Dark Element when he reached adulthood.
For the remaining Profound Mysteries of Laws, Beirut had asked friends to strip countless Saint Realm limit comprehensions of laws for Beibei to absorb, which was how he was able to fully comprehend six Profound Mysteries of Laws. All that was left was for him to comprehend the last sliver of Profound Mysteries of Laws to fully grasp the Profound Mysteries of Laws and become a High-level God.
Of course, although Beibei had not integrated any Profound Mysteries of Laws, his body, which had been nourished by Beirut with countless Godheads, was strong enough to rival a Godhead, and his strength was not weak.
