Indeed, there were countless experts in the Gebados Prison, many times more than there were in the Yulan continent. In addition, there was a great deal of slaughter, and those who were able to survive were all experts who had a few tricks up their sleeves.
Only now did Linley and the other two understand how great of a disaster they had caused.
But Beirut didn't mind. To him, the fact that a few people had escaped didn't mean much. The reason why he had said this to Linley's group was simply to give them a warning.
As for those who had escaped, it was fine if they didn't cause trouble, but if they did, he naturally wouldn't ignore them.
…..
Wushan township.
This former little town had now become a wasteland.
"Indeed … even though I pulled out Bloodviolet ahead of time, what was supposed to happen still happened?"
In the air above the ruins of the little town, Li Yue stared down calmly, his eyes hazy.
This little town was his homeland, the place he had transmigrated to. But now, a few centuries later, everything had changed.
Around the ruins, he could still see the traces left behind by magical beasts. In fact, there was even a nest of a magical beast of the third rank within the ruins.
It was a barren wasteland.
"Perhaps this is fate. What was supposed to happen … will happen. What was supposed to happen … no matter how I change it, it will still happen!"
This was the Edicts of this universe. The Edicts of Fate.
In the air, Li Yue's face was calm. His mind was flashing with sparks, flashing with astonishing mysteries.
In that instant, he felt as though he had been struck by a stroke of good fortune.
"The Edicts of Fate? So … I got lucky? "Li Yue laughed calmly.
"It's coming."
Li Yue naturally felt a sense of familiarity. He could clearly sense that he had crossed over a certain boundary. This was the boundary between the Saint-level and the Deity-level.
"Rumble …"
The laws of heaven and earth descended. At this moment, a strange power penetrated Li Yue's body and entered his mind directly, enveloping his soul. At this moment … At that moment … all of the mysteries of the soul were seen through. Li Yue's insights into the mysteries of the Edicts of Fate were naturally seen through as well.
"Crackle …"
In the air above Li Yue's head, a power that contained the aura of the Edicts of Fate began to condense. At the same time, the power of the Edicts of Fate began to wildly condense as well.
In just a moment —
A divine spark, glowing with a blurry blue light, was hovering above Baruch's head. It was the Demigod spark of the Edicts of Fate.
"Outside? Inside?"
Li Yue did not hesitate at all. Just like before, he chose to become a god in his body.
It didn't take long for the sparkling godhead to completely disappear into the depths of his soul.
The ocean of Divine Power rolled in reverse, and streaks of Lesser Divine Power of Fate flowed within his body. They were clearly separated from the other two streaks of Divine Power of different attributes within his body.
The Demigod of Fate had succeeded.
"Whether it's a coincidence or luck, it's a pleasant surprise!"
Li Yue felt the three different divine powers in his body. With a slight thought, the three divine powers fused together.
Boom!
The entire space trembled at that moment. Vaguely, the space where Li Yue was standing distorted as an unprecedentedly powerful force shook the void.
"The effect of the fusion of three types of divine power is much better than I expected!"
In this moment, Li Yue could clearly sense that the quality of his divine power had increased severalfold. This meant that his power had increased severalfold as well.
"This is just the fusion of two types of Demigod power and one type of Highgod power. The quality is imbalanced to begin with. If they were all Highgod power, the effect of the fusion of three types would most likely exceed my expectations!"
Only after personally experiencing it did he truly sense how powerful the fusion of three types of divine power was. No wonder Soul Mutates were known as the favored children of the universe. Indeed, this sort of natural advantage was astonishing.
After experiencing it for a period of time, Li Yue nodded, then separated the three types of divine power. After looking at the direction, he left.
…..
It had been several weeks since the Gebados Prison incident. During this period of time, it could be said that the entire Yulan continent had been turned upside down.
The many Deities who had escaped from the Gebados Prison were doing as they pleased in the Yulan continent. Having been suppressed in the Gebados Prison for countless years, they were either venting their frustrations or becoming ambitious. During this period of time, who knew how many forces and how many people had died.
The O 'Brien Empire had been taken over by a group of Deities. The leader of the Deities had shattered the entire War God Mountain with one blow, domineeringly declaring the ownership of the O' Brien Empire.
The great plains of the far east. Countless native experts had been killed.
There were even more Deities who looked down on the small Yulan continent and chose to go adventuring in the Higher Planes.
In short, in the past few days, the entire Yulan continent had been in an abyss of suffering. To describe it in one word, it was chaotic.
Too chaotic.
…..
The Yulan continent. At the peak of a secluded mountain valley near the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, there was a unique little courtyard. Although the decorations within the courtyard were simple, it had everything that was needed. At first glance, it didn't look like much, but upon closer inspection, it gave off a sense of elegance.
At this moment, in the air above the courtyard, Li Yue was hovering in the lotus position within the clouds, his eyes staring downwards as he stared at the scenery below him. He had a very relaxed look on his face.
His eyes were deep and serene, and his gaze was deep and long. Vaguely, one could see a complicated, mysterious aura flickering within them. It was the aura of death.
"All living things have death. But the withering of plants and the cycle of life and death is the will of the heavens. This is destiny!"
He was able to see the flow of death and destiny within the ordinary scenery. He was able to comprehend the seemingly ordinary, yet boundless, profound mysteries within.
To him, the chaos of the outside world didn't matter at all. Since Wushan township had already been destroyed, there was nothing left in his heart to worry about.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had coincidentally broken through to become a Demigod of Fate, Li Yue probably wouldn't have stayed here for long. He would've left the Yulan continent long ago and gone to the Higher Planes to adventure.
After all, although the Yulan continent wasn't bad, it was too small. Compared to the Four Higher Planes and the Seven Divine Planes, it was like comparing a pond to an ocean.
Naturally, he wouldn't choose to stay here forever. After all, Li Yue's goal had always been the same. He wanted to become a Controller.
This required experience, battle, luck, and insight …
But the Yulan continent definitely couldn't satisfy Li Yue's needs.
"The Edicts of Destruction have already reached a bottleneck. It will be very hard for me to make another breakthrough. I'll have to wait until I go to the Higher Planes … the Infernal Realm!"
"But the Edicts of Death and the Edicts of Fate can make steady progress!"
"Before leaving the Yulan continent, I have to do my best to improve these two!"
Li Yue knew that once he went to the Infernal Realm, it would probably be very hard for him to have the time to truly understand the mysteries of the Edicts of Death and the Edicts of Fate.
In the Infernal Realm, there were many experts, and there was even more slaughter. Compared to the Gebados Prison, although the Infernal Realm had more resources, it was also more dangerous.
By then, the only thing he could rely on would most likely be the Edicts of Destruction. The Edicts of Death and Fate were too weak. For the time being, he wouldn't be able to use them at all.
"If, before leaving, I can improve the Edicts of Death and the Edicts of Fate and reach the God level, then after fusing the three types of divine power, I'll be even more powerful!"
Without question, this was a powerful trump card. This was the only way he could think of to increase his power in a short period of time.
Li Yue was willing to spend some time on gaining insights and becoming more powerful. He wanted to achieve the goals he had in mind for the Edicts of Fate and the Edicts of Death within a hundred years. That way, it would be much safer for him to go adventuring in the Infernal Realm.
After all, he didn't have a divine clone. If he were to unfortunately die, he would truly die. He wouldn't have another life to choose from.
…..
BOOM!
In the skies, three powerful gusts of wind rumbled through the air, creating long ripples in the air.
The three had powerful auras, and the leader had an unfathomable aura. He had already reached the God level, and was the leader of the three.
"Captain Tello, Lord Adkins has ordered us to search for the remaining Deities in the Yulan continent, and to 'invite' them over and take them under our command. Many weeks have passed, but we haven't discovered anything at all!"
"Don't be impatient!" The leader had a head of long, golden hair, and was very handsome. Only, his eyes were slightly sinister, and he gave off the impression of a venomous snake, causing others to feel astonished.
This was Tello, a wind-style God, one of Adkins' subordinates.
In the Gebados Prison, they were members of the tribe which Adkins had established. Now, because the seal of the Planar Prison had been broken, they had luckily escaped, but not many of them remained.
Thus, they needed to replenish their numbers.
"Given Lord Adkins's power and reputation, as long as we find them, they will definitely know what to choose. After all, Lord Adkins is an extremely famous Highgod, one of the most powerful experts below the five Kings! "
Tello spoke, his face cold. "The legend of the Yulan continent is no longer a secret. The Necropolis of the Gods contains many divine artifacts, divine sparks, and all sorts of treasures. According to the legends, there are even Sovereign artifacts and Sovereign sparks. If Lord Adkins wants to enter and force Beirut to open the gate to the Necropolis of the Gods, he naturally needs to be even more intimidating!"
There was no doubt that gathering more deities was also a way to do so.
"Right. He hasn't returned for so many years. How did this Beirut suddenly appear, and a Highgod at that?" Someone shook his head. "If it wasn't for the fact that we don't know the depth of Beirut's power, Lord Adkins would've attacked him long ago!"
Between Highgods, there were differences in power. A top-tier Highgod could instakill countless ordinary Highgods. The difference was as great as the difference between heaven and earth.
Much less Gods.
As for Adkins, he was a top-tier Highgod. Although he hadn't reached the level of the five Kings, he was still a top-tier Highgod. His fusion of profound mysteries was already extremely astonishing, and he had dominated the Gebados Prison for countless years.
Thus, the three of them felt great respect for him. But that Beirut? A fellow who had only trained for a few million years? Naturally, they wouldn't be willing to accept him.
Only … they acted cautiously.
This was the cautious temperament they had developed over many years in the Gebados Prison.
"Captain Tello, can you sense it? Up ahead, there's the aura of a Deity? "Suddenly, a bald man laughed loudly as he pointed towards the skies.
"I can sense it. Mm, a … Demigod? A God? His aura is very mysterious, but from the looks of it … he isn't very powerful. At most, he's a God! "
Tello's lips curved upwards. "It seems we've found a decent fellow."
"Let's go. We have to 'invite' him over. If that fellow doesn't know what's good for him …" At this point, a cold sneer flashed through the eyes of the three.
Just as these three fellows were flying towards their target, Li Yue, in the air above the valley, turned his head and glanced into the distance, then ignored them. He continued to stare calmly at the valley below, his face calm.
"Troublesome. If he dares to attack, I'll just crush him to death!"
