Chapter 203: Seeking Help
This means that Beibei's strength has a very wide fluctuation range, both in its upper and lower limits.
Under normal circumstances, Beibei's strength is also at the level of a Six-star Devil.
In terms of defense, a Seven-star Devil without a Lord God Artifact truly cannot harm Beibei.
Of course, there is also a powerful innate divine ability—God Devour.
Anyone below Paragon or a God without a Soul Defense Lord God Artifact who is struck by it will die.
A Seven-star Devil can be considered a high-level combatant in the various God Planes and Supreme Planes.
If a faction possesses a Seven-star Devil, it can dominate a territory spanning tens of millions of miles.
A Prefect of a Prefecture typically has only three to five Seven-star Devils under their command.
The number of Seven-star Devils in a Sovereign Legion does not exceed twenty.
Some super large families, in addition to having a Shura-level expert as their patriarch, must also have at least three Seven-star Devils stationed there to be considered a super family.
From this, one can see how valuable a Seven-star Devil is.
Linley fell silent.
His mother, on the Yulan Plane, was sacrificed to the Light Lord God by the Church of Light. Her soul did not return to the Undead Realm, and now, it was highly likely she had become an "Angel" controlled by the Light Lord God.
Linley's current feelings were very conflicted.
On one hand, he hoped that the angel his mother had become was not very strong. If that were the case, with his Paragon status, he might be able to persuade the Light Lord God to grant his mother freedom.
On the other hand, he also hoped that the angel his mother had become possessed considerable strength, as this would increase her chances of survival.
However, if that were the case, it might not be so easy to get the Light Lord God to release his mother.
"I apologize, Lord Linley. After all these years, this is all the information I could find."
"As for which Lord God was worshipped by the Church of Light on the Yulan Plane back then, it's beyond my capabilities."
Alfonsus let out a sigh.
Indeed, even this meager information was only obtained with great difficulty through William's connections.
Even William didn't know any more details.
That was already a secret belonging to the Lord Gods.
"No, Patriarch Alfonsus, you've already helped me immensely by finding this much."
Indeed, if not for Alfonsus's information, Linley wouldn't have known that his mother might now be an angel serving a Light Lord God.
After expressing his gratitude, Linley and the other two saw Alfonsus off. Linley then lowered his head in thought.
Next, Linley needed to first find out which Light Lord God his mother was an angel under, and then he could make his request to that Lord God.
But how should he investigate?
Since angels were private armies of the Light Lord Gods, he certainly couldn't approach them casually.
The best way to get information about angels would be to request the help of a Lord God to inquire on his behalf.
Thinking of this, Linley cast his gaze towards the massive fireball at the very center of the Star God Realm.
The Star Sovereign, Tina, resided above the sun of the Star God Realm!
This was information Linley had learned during his time with the Four Divine Beast Family.
The Star Sovereign Tina was the daughter of the Vermillion Bird Sovereign, Nimo, one of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods. She was also the only disciple of Lord Fifth Ancestor Roy.
Under Lord Roy's tutelage, Tina became a Paragon High-level God of both the Fire Element and the Earth Element. She was the second person, after Lord Roy, to comprehend a cultivation method that improved the essence of the soul.
Furthermore, like the Lord God Linley had encountered in the Netherworld, Tina was also a top-tier Sovereign among the War Lord Gods.
He figured that if he could gain Tina's help, he should be able to find out his mother's whereabouts very quickly.
With this thought, Linley gave a few instructions to Dilia and Beibei, then transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the sun of the Star God Realm.
Linley's speed was incredibly fast, and such a commotion attracted the attention of many powerful individuals within the Star God Realm.
But upon seeing Linley's flying speed, these individuals all withdrew their gazes.
Big shots, can't afford to offend!
A God might be able to increase their strength tenfold through a Lord God Artifact.
However, speed was undeniably the best measure of a God's strength.
The fastest flight speed for a Demigod was only about two thousand kilometers per second.
For a God, it was around three thousand kilometers per second.
A High-level God could reach three thousand five hundred kilometers per second.
At this moment, Linley's speed had reached over five thousand seven hundred kilometers per second.
Paragon!
Only an invincible Paragon High-level God could possess such speed!
The Star God Realm actually had a Paragon expert visiting?
For a time, most people in the Star God Realm began to feel restless.
Most of the Asura Prefect-level experts who resided in the Star God Realm either possessed a Paragon Earth God clone themselves or were invited by friends who had one.
Everyone's goal was very clear.
The Star God Realm was the only Supreme Plane confirmed to produce a Lord Godhead once a Paragon expert was born there.
Everyone was waiting for the birth of a Paragon High-level God, Hoping they might have a chance to snatch a Earth Lord Godhead and become a high and mighty Lord God.
But now, the Star God Realm had a Paragon expert. How much chance did they have of snatching a Lord Godhead?
Moreover, this was probably the first Paragon expert to openly appear in the Star God Realm. Who knew if there were other hidden powerhouses?
Thus, intentionally or unintentionally, everyone began to inquire about the information of that Paragon expert.
Soon, Linley's profile was placed before everyone.
After all, Linley had flown directly out from the stronghold of the Four Divine Beast Family on Mercury. Coupled with the recent widespread rumors of Linley's battle with the Paragon Wind Element expert Baier on the Plane War, it was impossible not to attract attention.
Then, everyone who saw Linley's profile was stunned.
If this information was correct, was this Linley even human?
"Hiss..."
"To become a Paragon in less than four thousand years, this..."
"Alas, if he hadn't gone to the Plane War but had achieved Paragon in the Star God Realm, the Lord Godhead in the Star God Realm might have already been confirmed by now..."
For a moment, the envy, jealousy, and relief people felt were self-evident.
Since Linley had already achieved Paragon Earth, his next step would undoubtedly be to contend for a Lord Godhead and become a Lord God.
This meant that when they competed for the Lord Godhead, they would have to face at least two Paragon experts.
It would be one thing if they successfully snatched a Lord Godhead. Once they became Lord Gods, even Paragon experts would be insignificant sparks in front of them.
But if they failed to snatch a Lord Godhead and offended two Paragon High-level Gods, it would be far more terrifying than offending a Lord God.
After all, Lord Gods and Gods were beings on two different levels. They would not stoop to their level to pursue the mistakes of Gods. In fact, there was even an agreement among Lord Gods not to interfere in disputes between Gods.
However, Paragon experts were still on the same level as Gods. They could pursue you in the five Supreme Planes and the seven God Planes, or they could enter the material planes to eliminate all traces of you. Their deterrent power was tens of times greater than that of a Lord God.
Of course, despite the great danger, if they succeeded...
No God could refuse the temptation of a Lord Godhead!
...
Linley naturally didn't know that his outing had instilled a greater sense of crisis in the people of the Star God Realm.
He was now about to pass the asteroid belt surrounding the sun and approach the sun of the Star God Realm.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As soon as he passed through the asteroid belt, Linley's heart was startled.
He hadn't felt anything within the asteroid belt.
But the moment Linley passed through it, he felt a powerful heat washing over him.
At this moment, the sun, which usually appeared gentle when looked up at, had transformed into an explosive energy source.
Infinite Fire Element was burning the defenses around Linley.
In Linley's opinion, the power of this flame was no less than that of Mr. Leilin's Fire Element Divine Clone, who had already achieved Paragon.
In fact, it was even more potent.
Within this blazing flame, Linley saw the Profound Mysteries of Fire Element, the Profound Mysteries of Burning, the Profound Mysteries of Explosion, the Fire Body Technique, and various other profound mysteries of Fire Element Laws.
Moreover, each of these profound mysteries of laws could perfectly fuse with the others to unleash immense power.
This was something he couldn't perceive outside the asteroid belt.
Linley continued to fly forward. Here, he didn't dare to casually release his Soul Power.
Otherwise, Linley was certain that if his Soul Power wasn't strong enough, he would be completely incinerated by the sun's flames.
As Linley got closer and closer to the sun, the immense power forced him to use a drop of Sovereign Power just to barely hold on.
"I overestimated myself!"
Linley estimated that he was currently on the surface layer of the sun's flames and could not withstand their power. If he ventured any deeper, even using Sovereign Power might be useless.
With one careless move, he could be annihilated by the sun's boundless might.
Helplessly, Linley stopped his movement and then transformed the Sovereign Power within him into Spiritual Sense, spreading it towards the interior of the sun.
"Lord Sovereign Tina, Linley of the Four Divine Beast Family requests an audience. I beg Lord Tina..."
Since he didn't know where Lord Sovereign Tina resided within the sun, Linley spread his Spiritual Sense towards the sun's interior.
However, the power of the sun's flames was far beyond Linley's imagination.
His Spiritual Sense, amplified by Sovereign Power, was incinerated the moment it entered the sun's mid-level flames.
This sun's power is probably only something a Lord God could endure, right?
Linley had indeed underestimated this sun.
When Roy had first created the Earth Supreme Plane, this sun hadn't possessed such immense power.
After all, Roy was only the Earth Supreme God, not the Fire Supreme God.
However, after Tina occupied it, Tina's Fire Element Divine Clone completely refined this sun created by Roy, infusing its own willpower into nurturing it. Now, the flames of this sun already held a trace of the "Fire Element Supreme Laws."
Simply put, this sun was now akin to a semi-Supreme Treasure for Tina's Fire Element Divine Clone.
Even if Tina didn't actively activate it, a Low-level Lord God would be killed by this sun's power.
Once activated, even other Law Sovereigns would be heavily injured or even perish.
...
"Oh?"
"Linley? Isn't that the kid with the four-element soul mutation from before?"
Tina, having refined the sun in the Star God Realm, naturally knew everything that happened on it.
Although Linley's divine sense, formed by Lord God power, was incinerated after only reaching the sun's mid-level flames, it was enough for Tina to know he had arrived.
With a thought from Tina, the flames between Linley and Star Island parted like flowing water, creating a five-meter wide fiery passage.
Upon entering this fiery passage, Linley found that the sun's flames had completely retracted, leaving only a gentle, warm breeze.
"What a magnificent palace."
No matter who it was, the first sight of Star Island would evoke a sense of awe.
"Linley greets the Sovereign."
After entering the Lord God's palace, Linley's gaze swept around.
Compared to the last time he met Sovereign Tina, Sovereign Tina's own presence felt much more imposing.
The sculptures of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods within the palace also exerted less pressure on Linley than during their previous meeting.
This was because each time Tina used "Mirror Flower Water Moon," she subconsciously downplayed her own presence to highlight the majesty of her ancestors.
An ordinary person would truly struggle to discern the difference.
However, Linley's strength allowed him to easily perceive the change.
"Hmm, Linley, you're so eager to see me. Have you successfully created a technique to enhance soul essence?"
Linley felt a flush of embarrassment.
Was Sovereign Tina perhaps overestimating him?
"Uh, my apologies, Sovereign. This time, I only managed to grasp a fleeting spark of inspiration. To successfully create a technique that enhances soul power, I'll need at least one or two more insights into the Laws of Heaven and Earth."
"Is that so..."
Tina sighed.
As expected, this kid was just unusually lucky, becoming the first person with a four-element soul mutation, which allowed him to possess a thousand-fold soul power and willpower.
Someone like his teacher, who created a technique directly leading to the Supreme God realm after only one instance of comprehension, would never appear a second time.
However, this kid's luck was even better than hers.
She had only had two divine clones back then. Thus, even though she comprehended the Laws of Heaven and Earth a few more times than her teacher, she couldn't reach his level.
Linley, on the other hand, possessed four divine clones, and now each of them had at least three opportunities for comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Once any of his divine clones broke through to Paragon, he would gain another opportunity.
It was possible that this kid might even reach his teacher's realm!
"Go on, if you haven't succeeded in creating the technique yet, why are you in such a hurry to see me?"
"It's like this, Sovereign Tina..."
Following that, Linley explained the matter of his mother and the information he had obtained from entrusting Alfonsus with the investigation to Tina.
