After a moment of silence, Beirut looked at Zhou Tong. "I imagine you should have noticed that your soul is different from that of Linley and the High Priest, right?"
Zhou Tong nodded slightly. He had already realized that Beirut was speaking of a soul mutate.
"Your luck isn't bad. Earth, water, fire, and destruction have fused together, but your soul is undying. You're the only one in the endless planes. Everyone will envy you for your talent. "
"And most importantly of all, you are now able to fuse the Edicts of Destruction with the Elemental Laws of Fire and the Elemental Laws of the Earth. This is truly rare. Perhaps in the future, you will be able to fuse the Elemental Laws of Water as well. "Beirut smiled as he looked at Zhou Tong." But there is one thing I must warn you about. "
"Lord Beirut, please speak!" Zhou Tong immediately said.
"Given your talent, in the future, you will definitely leave the Yulan continent and head to the Higher Planes. What I must warn you about is that you cannot reveal that you are a four-element soul mutate. Ideally, unless absolutely necessary, do not use your fused divine power! "Beirut continued.
Zhou Tong suddenly had a thought. He realized that the reason Beirut had left him that vial of Sovereign's Might was so that in the future, he would be able to conceal his fused divine power.
What Beirut meant was that even if he used Sovereign's Might, he shouldn't use his fused divine power.
"However, unless I become a Highgod in all four elements, the power of my fused divine power will still be inferior to that of Sovereign's Might." Zhou Tong said to himself.
Even though fused Highgod power of three elements was only a hundred times more powerful than ordinary Highgod power, Sovereign's Might was hundreds of times more powerful, far more powerful than fused Highgod power of three elements.
Only fused Highgod power of four elements could surpass Sovereign's Might.
"Some Sovereigns are researching all sorts of strange, bizarre powers. If they were to learn that you have an unprecedented four-element soul mutate, what do you think they would think?" Beirut smiled as he looked at Zhou Tong.
"I understand!" Zhou Tong nodded.
Zhou Tong didn't want to tell anyone about his four-element soul mutation to begin with. If it wasn't for the fact that he lived in the Yulan continent and couldn't hide it from Beirut, he wouldn't have even told Beirut.
"The Necropolis of the Gods. You've already acquired a Sovereign artifact. You can't go in and farm for more Sovereign artifacts. However, I can give you another weapon. What kind of weapon do you want? "Beirut suddenly asked.
However, just as Zhou Tong was about to open his mouth, Beirut immediately patched him up. "First of all, it takes me a long time to refine a weapon, so if you want that kind of heavy weapon, then don't ask."
"…" Zhou Tong was speechless.
However, he was rather surprised. Beirut would rather spend his time and effort forging a godspark weapon for him than give him a Sovereign artifact?
Although there was an agreement between the Sovereigns that they were only allowed to bestow a single Sovereign artifact to their loved ones and envoys, the Sovereign artifacts of fallen Sovereigns didn't matter.
Thus, if it were the Sovereign artifacts of the fallen Four Divine Beasts in the Necropolis of the Gods, Beirut wouldn't be breaking the rules of the Sovereigns if he gave them all away.
"Can it be that he wants to train me in all aspects, so he wants to train me in weapons as well?" Zhou Tong suddenly had this thought.
There were differences in quality between Sovereign artifacts as well. Amongst all the Sovereigns, Beirut's Sovereign artifact was the most powerful, because the material of his Sovereign artifact was astonishing. It was the quintessence of a divine spark. The Sovereign artifacts of the other Sovereigns weren't as good.
Zhou Tong guessed that perhaps Beirut really did want Zhou Tong to develop a powerful weapon that belonged solely to him. When the time came, if Zhou Tong could improve further, perhaps the weapon would be able to increase his combat power as well.
At the same time, seeing the look on Zhou Tong's face, Beirut twirled his beard, secretly thanking his lucky stars.
Fortunately, he had patched it up long ago. Otherwise, if he really needed a hammer, an axe, a staff, or something like that, which weighed millions of pounds, even if his Sovereign clone was more powerful and could forge it forty or fifty times faster than his Highgod clone, he would probably be exhausted for tens of thousands of years.
His own weapons were just two staffs, one for his true body and the other for his divine clone. These two staffs, however, were the result of over a million years of forging.
If he were to forge something like this for someone else, he really would vomit blood.
"A sword, then!" Zhou Tong was speechless. He casually used his divine power to simulate the appearance of a sword.
This sword was roughly 1.55 meters long, with a 1.2 meter long blade and roughly three fingers wide. Because Beirut didn't forge heavy weapons, this sword was just an ordinary sword, not a heavy sword.
"This world is forcing me to walk the path of the Dao of the Sword!" Zhou Tong felt rather speechless.
The Dao of the Sword was indeed a path of attack that Zhou Tong was extremely proficient in.
In the Shrouded Heaven world, the treasured technique of the Ten Ferocious Ten that he had comprehended the most was the Grass Symbol Sword Art. Afterwards, he had also acquired the Chaos-Calming Art and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art. His Dao of the Sword was at an extremely high level.
Afterwards, in the World of Longevity, his weapon of choice was the Sacred Sword of the Dragons. The Dao of the Sword could be considered one of the main techniques he had cultivated in the World of Longevity.
"The Dao of the Sword is the Dao of the Sword … at least my Edicts of Destruction are extremely suited for the Dao of the Sword!" After pondering for a moment, Zhou Tong made up his mind. The path of attack in this world was still the Dao of the Sword!!
"This sword … I've spent at least ten years on it!!" Seeing the design of the divine sword Zhou Tong had given him, Beirut was rather speechless. Although this thing wasn't a heavy weapon, it would still take him a very long time to forge it.
And this was only because his Sovereign clone was extremely powerful and could forge it at an extremely fast speed. If it were his divine darkness clone in the Infernal Realm, it would probably take him five hundred years to complete it.
"Ten years from now, wait for my notice. Come here and collect the sword!" Beirut waved his hand, indicating for Zhou Tong to leave.
"Many thanks, Lord Beirut!" Zhou Tong's face was filled with joy, and he immediately turned and left.
Ten years. This was much faster than he had expected.
Zhou Tong remembered that in the original story, Linley's sword had been forged by Beirut over a hundred years, and Linley's sword was very similar to his own Bloodviolet. The sword Zhou Tong had just displayed was five times the size of Linley's sword, but it had only taken him ten years.
After leaving the Forest of Darkness, Zhou Tong once more returned to the Baruch Kingdom. By now, Linley had already returned to the Baruch Kingdom. Upon learning that Zhou Tong had returned from Beirut's place, he immediately went to welcome him with the highest level of respect.
After all, this was a Divine level expert. No matter what kind of etiquette they used to welcome him, it would not be too much.
Zhou Tong didn't really care about such things. He had only come to tell Linley and the others that he was resigning. After all, he was already a Deity. How could he possibly remain as an imperial magus in the Baruch Kingdom?
Forget about the Baruch Kingdom; even the Yulan Empire or the O 'Brien Empire couldn't afford to hire a Deity as an imperial magus.
With regards to Zhou Tong's resignation, Linley naturally didn't have anything to say. He didn't want Zhou Tong to continue working in this position, because there was no position in the continent that was worthy of a Deity.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious.
"By the way, Kahn, last time, at the graveyard, I didn't finish talking. What is that Sovereign artifact of yours used for? Also, what is a Sovereign artifact? "Bebe suddenly asked.
Instantly, Linley, Barker, Delia, and the others all turned to look at Zhou Tong. They were all very curious as to what a Sovereign artifact was, and what a divine artifact like a ring could be used for.
"Demigods use Demigods, Gods use Demigod artifacts, Highgods use Highgod artifacts. Highgods use Highgod artifacts. What do you think a Sovereign artifact is?" Zhou Tong said with a light laugh.
"A weapon used by … a Sovereign?" Barker gulped, somewhat stunned.
Sovereigns, in their eyes, were lofty existences that they didn't even dare to think about.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly. "Right. Sovereign artifacts are weapons used by Sovereigns. This artifact of mine is a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact, which Sovereigns use to protect their souls. Thus, after acquiring this Sovereign artifact, as long as a Sovereign doesn't personally attack me, I am immune to all soul attacks. "
"Immune to all soul attacks?!" Everyone was shocked.
At their level of cultivation, there was no one who did not know the importance of the soul. Everyone would do everything possible to protect their own soul. Linley in particular, after experiencing the events of the Necropolis of the Gods, he knew how important the soul was. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had the protective azure light of the Azure Dragon clan, he probably would have died long ago.
But they didn't dare to imagine that there was actually someone who was immune to all soul attacks.
The effect of this soul-protecting Sovereign artifact was simply heaven-defying!
"Don't let that look on your face. As a Sovereign artifact, isn't it natural for it to have this sort of power?" Zhou Tong said leisurely.
"Right. A soul-protecting artifact used by Sovereigns. It's normal for ordinary Deities to be unable to break it!" Thinking of this, the shock in everyone's hearts lessened considerably. But when they looked at Zhou Tong, their gazes were filled with a hint of jealousy, and when they looked at the crimson ring on his hand, their gazes were filled with a hint of desire as well.
Who wouldn't want something like this?
"Speaking of which, Linley, your journey in the Necropolis of the Gods should have been smooth sailing, right?" Zhou Tong suddenly spoke out.
He wanted to make sure that nothing special had happened to Linley's group.
"How could it have been smooth sailing?" Bebe called out in surprise, then said with some dissatisfaction, "We narrowly escaped death, but in the end, the Boss was able to acquire the final divine spark."
"Narrowly escaped death? I remember that on the very first day I entered the Necropolis of the Necropolis, I defeated all of the monsters guarding it, aside from the Abyssal Blade Demons on the eleventh floor. Even those Abyssal Blade Demons were terrified of me, but you narrowly escaped death? "Zhou Tong was somewhat astonished.
"You defeated it on the very first day?" Linley was surprised. At first, he had thought that Zhou Tong had become a Deity on the very first day, and then, because of the rules that Beirut had mentioned, had only begun to challenge the twelfth floor. Linley hadn't imagined that Zhou Tong, at the Saint-level, had defeated the eleventh floor all by himself …
"How is that possible?" Bebe was somewhat speechless as well. And then, he gave a general explanation of what had happened.
Most of the levels were more or less the same, but there were some differences in the details. In addition, Linley had still fused the 'fast' and 'slow' elements of the Elemental Laws of the Wind, forming the Profound Truths of Velocity, before finally succeeding.
