In midair, Linley was startled. He immediately looked downwards. At some point, that figure had raised his head and was smiling calmly towards them.
"Boss, he's looking at us?" Bebe had been staring this entire time. Naturally, he had seen it.
"I know!" Linley nodded. "He … that lord sent me a mental message. Bebe, let's … let's go down!"
"Alright!"
There was no way to escape. Naturally, they had to go down.
Soon, the two landed on the ground, then walked towards Li Yue.
"Respectful greetings, milord!"
Linley and Bebe bowed slightly towards Li Yue.
"No need to be so courteous. Sit!" Li Yue shook his head. With a wave of his hand, several chairs appeared from the grass beneath his feet, as well as a carved mahogany table. On the table, one fruit after another appeared. These were all strange fruits that didn't exist in the Yulan continent, and some even came from the Higher Planes.
These miscellaneous items were all treasures that had been stored in Odin's interspatial ring. Although there weren't many, to Li Yue, they were virtually useless. They were enough to greet Linley and Bebe.
The three sat down, and Bebe didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up a red, crystalline fruit, looked at it, then bit into it. "Mmm, mmm. It tastes pretty good. It's not any worse than the food Grandpa Beirut has!"
"Bebe, don't be rude!" Linley said softly, and then said apologetically to Li Yue, "Milord, Bebe's personality is like this. I hope you won't mind, milord!"
"It's fine!" Li Yue shook his head. "These things are for eating, anyhow. They're for the sake of satisfying one's appetite!"
Seeing this, Linley felt much more relaxed. "Might I ask, milord, what instructions do you have for us?"
For a powerful Highgod to come looking for them, it was impossible for them not to be nervous. After all, Li Yue was too unfamiliar. He didn't know him at all, and for him to suddenly invite them down for a chat … Linley didn't believe it.
"Instructions? Not really! " Li Yue shook his head. "Don't be too nervous. In truth, Linley, I need to thank you!"
"Thank me?" Linley was stunned.
"Yes!" Li Yue laughed. "Do you still remember the Great Botha Levee? If you hadn't broken the seal, I wouldn't have been able to come out, so I owe you a favor! "
So that was the case.
Linley now understood. So this lord was one of the many Deities who had escaped from the Gebados Prison. Only, when he thought about how he and Olivier had released so many experts, his head hurt.
"Sir, are you also from Gebados Prison?"
"I guess so!" Li Yue said, "In other words, I'm an outsider who was forced to enter the Gebados Prison, not exiled to that damned place!"
"If it wasn't for you guys, I don't even know how long I would have to stay in that damned place. If it wasn't for you guys, I would probably become like those lunatics!"
Indeed, he hadn't been in the Gebados Plane for long. He wasn't like Odin, Bluefire, and the others, all of whom were old monsters who had been imprisoned for millions of years.
Bluefire didn't mention it. After all, he had his brothers with him. As for Odin, he was alone. It was already a miracle that he hadn't gone crazy.
…..
"Running into you is a coincidence. When I left the Slaughtering Levee, I wanted to thank you, but Beirut came. I had no choice but to leave that place!" Li Yue said.
"Milord, you know Grandpa Beirut?" Bebe asked while eating.
"I don't know him, but I've heard of him!" Li Yue shook his head. "Beirut is very powerful. In fact, he is more powerful than you can imagine. Thus, unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to fight against him!"
On the surface, Beirut was an invincible Highgod, but in truth, that old bastard Beirut had hidden himself too deeply. He was a Sovereign.
Li Yue naturally wouldn't go out of his way to offend him. Even though his understanding of the Edicts of Destruction had reached the level of an Asura, and his fused divine power had become even more powerful, he still wouldn't be so foolish as to go offend Beirut.
"Lord Beirut is indeed very powerful!" Linley nodded. "But, milord, you are very powerful as well!"
"Hahahaha!" Li Yue laughed loudly, not denying it. "Linley, for me to be able to see you before I leave is perhaps the guidance of destiny!"
The more one trained in the Edicts of Fate, the more one felt as though destiny was omnipresent.
"In addition, I know that you are a member of the Baruch clan, a Dragonblood Warrior. Coincidentally, I have some ties with the Baruch clan as well!"
"Milord, are you acquainted with my ancestor?" Linley was stunned. The Baruch clan had existed for no more than five thousand years, but this lord said that he had some ties with the Baruch clan. Then …
"Yes!" Li Yue nodded. He stared at the nearby ruins of the town, his eyes deep and profound. "A few hundred years ago, I was a member of Wushan township as well. In addition, both my parents died. If it hadn't been for the help of my neighbors, I probably would've died long ago! "
"When I was five years old, I began to train under that old tree. At that time, the one who taught me how to train was the captain of the guards of the Baruch clan!"
"I received quite a bit of care from him, as well as from Lord Wright Baruch. Thus … I am very grateful to them!"
"Wright Baruch? My great-great-grandfather? That should be three hundred years ago? "Linley was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
He had never imagined that this lord was only three hundred years old.
To become a Highgod at three hundred years old, and a top-tier Highgod at that. This … how was this possible?
Not just Linley. Even Bebe was stunned.
"No need to be so shocked!" Li Yue shook his head. He knew what Linley and Bebe were thinking, but this really wasn't anything to be proud of. At least, in front of Linley, he wasn't qualified to be proud.
"Although becoming a Deity is very hard, there are always people in the infinite planes who are extraordinarily talented. You can say that there are countless of them. But what about after becoming a Deity? How many of them are able to truly stand at the peak? "
"Talent is just a form of capital. Hard work is the foundation!"
"If you don't work hard, if you don't temper yourself, even if you can become a Deity in a short period of time, you will only be a genius, not an expert! In my life, if I hadn't entered the Gebados Prison, I probably wouldn't have reached my current level of accomplishment. I wouldn't have become a Highgod either. At most, I would be lucky to become a Deity! "
The environment changed people.
If you were in a pond, you would never be able to become a Flood Dragon. But if you were in the deep sea, you would still have a chance.
"The Yulan continent is too small. Even the Gebados Prison is too small. Linley, you must understand this. If you want to become powerful, even more powerful, you have to leave the Yulan continent. By then, you will discover that the Gebados Plane, the Necropolis of the Gods … they are all laughable!"
"The Necropolis of the Gods?" Linley had a thought. "Lord, can it be that you didn't stay in the Yulan continent for the sake of that place?"
Indeed, many of the Deities who had stayed in the Yulan continent had come for the sake of the Necropolis of the Gods. But now … this lord was looking down on it.
"Of course not!" Li Yue shook his head. "The Necropolis of the Gods is indeed not bad, but it isn't suitable for me. Because there isn't anything I want there! Everything is guided by fate. What belongs to whoever it belongs to will always belong to whoever it belongs to. "
"The reason why I remain in the Yulan continent is partly to train, but partly to make up for the regrets in my heart!"
"After all, when I accidentally entered the Gebados Plane, it has been a long time since I've seen the Yulan continent. Before I leave, I naturally want to take a good look around. After all, I don't know when I'll be able to return!"
"And after this, I will leave this place. If fate wills it, we'll meet again in the Infernal Realm!"
"But before I leave, since I ran into you, let me give you a little gift as a way of thanking you!"
As he spoke, he gently raised his hand and tapped Linley's forehead. Instantly, boundless amounts of the power of destiny transformed into a mysterious, profound energy that entered his soul.
In this moment, Linley's entire face froze.
"What did you do to the Boss?" Bebe said in shock and rage. Thinking that Li Yue had attacked him, he was about to counterattack, but Li Yue just waved his hand gently, pressing him down.
"Don't worry. He's fine. He's just in a state of epiphany. He really is … lucky!"
Li Yue laughed. That finger of his had contained the Edicts of Destiny, as well as many insights and profound mysteries of the world. It had helped Linley enter a state of epiphany.
He was using some of his own insights to help Linley grow. It could be said … that this was something that could only be discovered, not sought. It was a profound, profound soul mystery.
It was much like how Beirut had helped Bebe acquire the Law fragments. Although Li Yue couldn't strip away the insights of others, he could use some of his own insights to help others.
Although he trained in the Four Edicts, he was able to see things from a high vantage point. He had some understanding of the Seven Edicts as well. Just this little bit was enough for Linley to digest.
…..
"He attacked?" Far away in the Dark Forest, Beirut had been paying attention to this place this entire time. From the moment that Linley and Li Yue had met, he had been using his divine sense to keep an eye on them.
After all, Bebe was present as well.
He knew that his divine sense wouldn't be able to hide from Li Yue, but Li Yue hadn't pointed it out, which meant that he had no ill intentions.
But just then, Li Yue had tapped out with his finger, and Linley had been stunned. Bebe had wanted to resist, but had been suppressed. This had startled Beirut, and then he had been enraged.
"King of Killers!" A terrifying voice rumbled out, entering Li Yue's mind.
"Beirut?" Li Yue raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry. I didn't harm them. But of course, if you want to fight, I don't mind!"
"Hmph!" Beirut let out a cold snort. After carefully scanning the area with his divine sense, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. In fact, he had actually helped them.
This was f * cking awkward.
However, Beirut's skin was extremely thick, and he skipped over this point. Naturally, since Linley and Bebe were fine, there was no need to worry. Otherwise, they would've spent quite a bit of time to come here from the Dark Forest. In that time, if Li Yue wanted to kill someone, he would've killed them long ago.
Unless he used his Sovereign clone, there was no way he could kill them.
"King of Killers. Although I don't know what your name is, I heard your description. I imagine that a few hundred years ago, you were the person who broke through the magical formation of the Foggy Gorge and was sucked into the Gebados Plane!"
"Right!" Li Yue let out a sigh. "That magical formation … it almost killed me. Fortunately, I survived and escaped. Otherwise, I really don't know when I would be able to see the Yulan continent again! "
"To be able to become a Highgod in a few short centuries … you live up to your reputation as someone who was able to kill Odin and the projection of the Chief Sovereign of Light. Even in the endless planes of the universe, people with talent like this can be counted on one hand!"
Beirut said. Now that he knew that Li Yue was the King of Killers, he naturally could guess what Li Yue had done in the past. It truly was astonishing.
In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. In truth, Li Yue could be described as the most talented person he had ever met. Unfortunately, this sort of genius trained in the Four Edicts, not the Elemental Laws. He didn't have a divine clone of the Laws of Earth, Fire, or Water. Otherwise …
"Talent? I admit, a little. But what allowed me to survive in Gebados was my power! " Li Yue laughed coldly. "In that place, you either kill or be killed. Talent is nothing. I've been hiding in Gebados for so long, and after becoming a Deity, I became even more cautious. But in the end, I was still hunted down. The entire city of Odin put me on the wanted list, hunted me down …"
"Only by killing can you survive. Only by being unscrupulous can you survive. I survived and grew stronger. Thus, Odin had no choice but to die. "
"As for the divine clone of the Chief Sovereign of Light …" Li Yue shrugged. "I didn't want to kill him, but he threatened me. What's more, he dared to be so arrogant despite having no power at all. Naturally, I killed him!"
Hearing this, Beirut was stunned. If the Chief Sovereign of Light, Augusta, heard these words, he would probably die from anger. However … Augusta truly was too arrogant.
"Enough. Linley will wake up soon. Since you are here, I imagine they aren't in any danger. It is time for me to leave!"
After saying that, Li Yue no longer paid attention to Beirut.
"But before leaving, I have to get rid of that little rat behind me. Otherwise, it wouldn't be perfect!"
After saying that, his gaze pierced through the sky, looking at a distant place. There, a sneaky guy was cautiously watching them.
