NOVEL WEB Chapter 72: The Beginning
"You call this a mere trick?"
Hearing Roy say that, Us Lord God wished he could just whack Roy with a club.
Roy truly didn't understand the struggles of others.
This kind of ability was already no worse than the innate divine abilities of many Divine Beasts.
Especially after Roy's Elementalization, their divine senses couldn't even capture any trace of him.
"Forget it, let's look at the magic."
With that, Us Lord God waved his hand and took out a thick book from his spatial ring.
"Take a look. This is wind magic I perfected after splitting the Profound Mysteries of Laws down to a single strand. Have a look."
Roy took the spellbook compiled by Us and opened it.
From Saint Realm magic like Destructive Storm and Dimensional Blade to first-level magic like Extreme Speed and Wind Blade, it encompassed thousands of magic incantations.
Among them, Roy was familiar with several.
For example: First-level wind magic Wind Blade, second-level magic Precision, third-level magic Sensing Wind and Wind Shield, fifth-level magic Roar of the Wind and Levitation, seventh-level magic Flight and Chain of Wind Blades, eighth-level magic Chaotic Dance of Wind Blades, ninth-level magic Wind Shadow Technique, and so on.
Following that, Leding Lord God and the other two each gave Roy a thick spellbook.
These spells truly opened Roy's eyes.
Especially the naming conventions for these spells by the four Divine Beasts; each one sounded incredibly powerful.
Names like Meteorite Fall, Earth Shattering, Skyfire Prairie, Meteor Shower, Earthfire City Burn, Heavenly Thunder World Annihilation, Absolute Zero, etc., though their practical power was one thing, their names were incredibly imposing.
They would definitely attract a lot of attention.
"Very good, this perfectly meets my requirements."
Roy nodded in admiration after storing the four spellbooks into his spatial ring.
As expected of a Lord God.
For someone like Roy, even though he had achieved Paragon in the Earth Element, it was impossible for him to split the six Profound Mysteries of Laws of the Earthly Laws to this extent.
"Then, my four elder brothers, I will start collecting faith from the material planes now. I'll be counting on my four elder brothers to help me with my Lord God Artifact."
...
"Shelley, you've collected so much intelligence on material planes, is there any material plane you'd like to visit?"
Upon returning to the palace, Roy asked Shelley, who was still engrossed in her writing.
"A material plane I'd like to visit?"
Shelley tilted her head, and thousands upon thousands of material planes instantly flooded her mind.
Finally, Shelley walked to a bookshelf, pulled out a book, and opened it.
"Lord Roy, I'd like to visit this plane."
Roy took the book Shelley handed him and looked at the page she had opened.
"The Atlan Plane has four continents and one ocean."
"The continents are the Atlan Continent, the Tartar Mountains, the Beastlands, and the Azure Forest."
"Among them, the Atlan Continent is primarily inhabited by humans, the Tartar Mountains are a paradise for magical beasts, the Beastlands are the domain of beastmen, and the Azure Forest is the home of elves."
Upon reading only this far, Roy understood why Shelley had chosen this plane.
Roy hadn't hidden his plan to spread faith through mages from Shelley.
Although the four ancestor Lord Gods had successfully completed the task Roy assigned them, breaking down the Profound Mysteries of Laws into elemental magic, whether these spells could be learned, and if so, what requirements the learners would need, all needed a chosen plane to serve as a testing ground.
The Atlan Continent, chosen by Shelley, had humans, magical beasts, beastmen, and elves.
Among these, magical beasts naturally couldn't learn magic, but the other three types of life could attempt to learn magic, providing sufficient data for better spreading magic in other material planes in the future.
"Alright, we'll go to this plane then."
"Oh, and Shelley, go and bring one Lower-level God with a good disposition from each family to come here later. I have something to instruct them on."
"Yes, Lord Roy."
...
The Atlan Plane.
Brom was an ordinary soldier in the Sovereign Legion under Manlu Lord God, but no one knew that tens of trillions of years ago, he was once a powerful High-level God.
It's just that in that incredibly dark era, let alone High-level Gods, even dozens of Lord Gods had died.
At that time, there weren't as many powerhouses as there are now, but the hierarchy was strict.
High-level Gods were stronger than Gods, Gods were stronger than Lower-level Gods, and Lower-level Gods were stronger than Saint Realm experts.
Battles were decided by which side had more High-level Gods; that side was considered stronger.
Until—
Lord Gods appeared.
Brom had forgotten how the first Sovereign appeared on the battlefield.
But he would never forget how the incredibly sturdy space of the God Plane was more fragile than glass before a Sovereign.
Then, the giant face in the sky merely let out a cold snort, and tens of millions of God-level experts instantly died.
Dozens of giant faces appeared in the high altitude of the God Plane. Brom didn't know what the Sovereigns were discussing, but it was clear their negotiation had failed.
Over sixty Sovereigns began slaughtering each other. The sky cracked, the earth shattered, and spatial turbulence swept through like a gale.
It was only then that Brom understood that even among the high and mighty Sovereigns, there were differences in strength.
Powerful Sovereigns could even instantly kill weaker ones.
When a Sovereign died, these Sovereigns would then fight fiercely over the gray, semi-transparent crystal diamonds radiating various colors left behind by the deceased Sovereign.
The Sovereigns fought from the God Plane into the spatial turbulence, and over thirty Sovereigns disappeared during this time.
Later, faint rumors spread that the residual power from the Sovereigns' battles had destroyed many Material Planes, and all the Sovereigns who destroyed those Material Planes instantly perished. Even their Sovereign Marks were swept away to who knows where by the spatial turbulence.
Material Planes were protected by the supreme rules; destroying a Material Plane meant even a Sovereign would perish!
As time passed, the Sovereigns seemed to have mastered a method to make High-level Gods stronger. This method gradually spread to the Seven God Planes and the Four Supreme Planes, and people finally understood—
So this was how Gods cultivated.
So, the Profound Mysteries of Laws could fuse with each other to unleash even more powerful might.
So, the gap between High-level Gods was even greater than the gap between a Demigod and a High-level God.
Later, Brom and the other surviving Gods received divine sense transmissions from the Four Rule Sovereigns.
The Four Rule Sovereigns announced that among Sovereigns, High-level Sovereigns were forbidden from attacking Low-level Sovereigns without cause, or they would be jointly hunted by the Four Rule Sovereigns.
Furthermore, Sovereigns were forbidden from attacking God-level beings without cause; violators would face punishment from the Four Rule Sovereigns.
Sovereigns and Gods were completely separated.
Thus, to protect their own interests, the Sovereigns began forming Sovereign Legions.
It was at that time that Brom joined the legion under Sovereign Manlu.
At the same time, becoming a guardian of a Material Plane was also something Brom actively requested.
For no other reason than safety.
In the God Planes and Supreme Planes, he was merely a nobody who could die at any moment.
But in a Material Plane, Brom was the strongest one.
Absolute security!
It was just that today, Brom felt his eyelids twitching incessantly, filling him with dread.
He remembered that the last time his eyelids twitched like this was during the Sovereign Great War.
Afterward, his High-level God clone was gone.
Was some danger approaching again this time?
Just as Brom was growing suspicious, he suddenly noticed the Planar Teleportation Array emitting a dazzling light.
Someone was teleporting back from a God Plane!
"Brom, a soldier of the Sovereign Legion under Sovereign Manlu, welcomes everyone to the Atlan Plane."
As Roy and his group of six walked out of the teleportation array, a fawning voice reached their ears.
"Mm."
After casually nodding at Brom, Roy and the other five flew away.
Only after they were out of sight did Brom stand up and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
The people teleporting back from the God Planes to the Material Planes were too terrifying.
Fortunately, over countless years, Brom had only managed the teleportation array and had not interfered with the matters of the Atlan Plane. Even if these people sought revenge, they wouldn't find him.
This time, he was safe!
...
"Lord Roy, what do we do now?"
"Let's find a place with many people and build an academy."
"An academy?"
"Yes, a magic academy, an academy specifically for teaching magic."
"Laurent, Fred, Queller, and Debra, you are the first batch of instructors for our academy."
That's right, besides the young lady from the Vermillion Bird Clan, the other three were acquaintances of Roy.
The City Lord of Sanhe City and the two Vice City Lords had been summoned by Shelley.
As for the positions of City Lord and Vice City Lords of Sanhe City, they could just find a few Five-star Devils to take over.
"Yes, Lord Roy."
Time and circumstances changed; in a mere million years, Roy had grown to a height that the three of them could no longer see.
This time, Roy was giving back to the three of them.
Next, Roy would impart the common knowledge of magic academies from his memory to the group.
Laurent and the other three also took diligent notes.
On the Atlan Continent, there was only one empire: the Atlan Empire.
The first magic academy Roy chose to establish was in the imperial capital of the Atlan Empire, Atlantis!
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Endless Earth Element surged above Atlantis. The massive divine power fluctuations caused the founding emperor of the Atlan Empire, Atlan Marion, to emerge from his seclusion and fly to the sky above the imperial capital.
"What is this..."
Sensing the immense divine power fluctuations in the sky above the imperial capital, Atlan Marion's expression turned grave.
Such divine power fluctuations were a hundred times stronger than his own divine power.
"High-level God!"
From the Planar Watcher, Brom, Marion had learned that God-level experts were divided into Demigods, Gods, and High-level Gods.
Brom was a God.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Seeing their founding emperor appear, over a dozen people flew out from the imperial capital, standing behind Marion. Among these dozen people, besides Marion himself, there was another God-level expert.
However, even though they had more people, their aura was completely at a disadvantage.
