Panlong, I've already become a main god, and the system only just activated.

After all, other rulers do not possess supreme artifacts for soul defense.

But what shocked them wasn't just Utrecht, but also... Ouf!

Before the competition, they were unaware of the terrifying power of the spacetime distortion enhancement, so even if they believed Utrecht had improved, a tenfold increase in strength would be terrifying enough. After all, a tenfold enhancement was equivalent to an extra measure of willpower.

It's not hard to understand why Ofl could withstand Utrecht's tenfold power boost. After all, Ofl has been researching for countless years, so his strength is undeniable.

But now, Utrecht's strength has increased a thousandfold, yet Auf still managed to stop him?!

Although the spatial distortion of the soul had little effect on Ofu, the effect of the spatial confinement was very real. Even under these circumstances, Ofu still broke through the spatial confinement and blocked Utred's strongest material attack with his bare hands!

This Ouf is so powerful that it's terrifying!

Most importantly, the current Orf has also grasped the principle of spacetime distortion!

“Lota.”

Suddenly, Utrecht's voice rang in Lota's mind.

Lota's expression remained unchanged.

"Lota, you must protect the essence and blood of the Four Divine Beasts. You must never give it to Auf."

Utrecht spoke directly, "You should be well aware of the influence of the Four Divine Beasts' blood essence on this move."

Without the essence and blood of the Four Divine Beasts, this move is almost impossible to use.

With the essence and blood of the four divine beasts properly stored, even if Orf knew the principle, it wouldn't affect anything.

Although Auf blocked his attack, he was not using a supreme artifact. Once a supreme artifact is used, no matter how strong Auf is, he would not be able to block his attack with his bare hands.

This means that he still has the means to threaten Auf.

Once Ofl can use this move, then his advantage will disappear.

"I know what I'm doing."

Lota's tone remained unchanged.

Just then, Sanatos's voice rang out, "Lota, how much of the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood do you still have?"

Unlike Utrecht, Sanatos's voice was much more somber.

After all, Utrecht can use spacetime distortion, so even if Of were to fight Utrecht, this move wouldn't have much of an impact. The two would likely cancel each other out, meaning the difference in strength between Utrecht and Of wouldn't actually change much.

But for her and Vivia, it was different.

Utred and Orf will both have the power to kill them both directly.

The balance between the rules has been broken.

Although Lota is considered to be on the same level as them, she has only barely reached that level.

"how?"

Lota knew what Sanatos was thinking, but she didn't show it.

"Lota, don't hide now."

Sanatos snorted and said directly, "You've seen the strength of Utrecht and Auf. To deal with them, we must join forces."

"You, me, and Vivia, if the three of us join forces, there is still a chance to maintain the balance among the gods."

Sanatos continued.

This wasn't the first time she'd teamed up with Lota, and she knew Lota's personality very well. Although he was a bit mysterious, he was still quite trustworthy.

Moreover, judging from Lota's performance, she doesn't seem worried about Utrecht's ultimate move.

This guy definitely has some kind of deal with Utrecht.

Lota naturally understood Sanatos's idea, smiled, and did not refuse, "Alright."

Although he could also manipulate spacetime, this was still a hidden trump card. He didn't want to reveal his trump card unless absolutely necessary. In this situation, joining forces was indeed the best option.

Moreover, as long as the balance between the main gods is maintained, it will provide a better environment for his subsequent research.

He was more interested in figuring out his research than in the time-space distortion.

The properties of the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts are definitely more than what I have superficially studied.

Seeing that Lota agreed, Sanatos felt slightly relieved, and then secretly communicated with Vivia, discussing something. It was very likely that it was also about joining forces.

"Hehe, Utrecht, your idea is really ingenious, I admire you."

After listening to Utrecht's explanation of the principles of spacetime distortion, Auf's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He now knew perfectly well that he had gone astray in his research on the innate abilities of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise. It wasn't that he couldn't research these two innate abilities; on the contrary, he had long ago figured out the principles behind them.

However, simply studying the two individuals' innate abilities is insufficient to integrate these abilities together.

After all, the White Tiger's innate ability, Tiger's Roar, destroys space, while the Black Tortoise's innate ability confines space, or in a sense, "protects" it. These two almost opposite abilities are extremely difficult to fuse.

He has studied this for so long, but he still can't find a point of convergence between the two.

That's why I couldn't resist experimenting with the essence blood of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise. I wanted to find some points of compatibility through the experiment.

However, now that I'm hearing Utrecht's theory of spacetime distortion...

Utrecht, in conjunction with the Azure Dragon's roar and the Vermilion Bird's rebirth, was able to create a region resembling an "overlapping time zone." It was as if the previous and next seconds in the same space had merged.

This space exists in two time periods: the roar of the White Tiger and the absolute space of the Black Tortoise.

Then, these two time periods overlapped! The two talents merged perfectly! This conveniently bypassed the difficulty of the differences in souls.

Amazing! Incredible!

This opened a new door to Ouf studies.

Could I use this move as a foundation, then stack more attacks, avoid differences, and maximize the power of my ultimate move?

Although it is difficult, this idea is not without feasibility.

Thinking of this, Auf couldn't wait to get into research mode immediately.

After figuring this out, even Ouf had to admire Utred's genius.

"Unfortunately, this means that this move can only be performed using the essence and blood of the four divine beasts."

It's a bit of a pity for Of.

Soon, the group of rulers returned to the Heavenly Realm.

Unlike when they arrived, Utrecht and Of's hidden status is clearly different now.

After chatting for a while, apart from Lota, the remaining Law Masters all took their leave and departed.

"Ouf, remember your promise."

Utrecht glanced at Auf, then at Lota, before flying away into the distance. Losing this match again was a significant blow to him.

Even with his strength increased a thousandfold, he still couldn't defeat Ouf, and he was somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed.

Watching Utrede leave, Sanatos looked at Ouf and teased, "What did Utrede and you agree to this time?"

Auf smiled helplessly, making no attempt to hide anything, and said directly, "We agreed that I cannot pass this move on to anyone else. After all, it is Utrecht's masterpiece, and it is normal for him to have this request."

Upon hearing this, Sanatos suddenly understood.

I agree with this agreement in my heart; otherwise, if everyone knew about this move, it would be a troublesome matter.

"By the way, Lota, I heard you're researching the essence of the Four Divine Beasts. I also studied the innate abilities of Lius and Bowen for a while and have some insights that might be helpful to your research. Why don't you stay at my Augu Garden for a while and we can discuss it together?"

"Ohf said with a chuckle."

Both Sanatos and Vivia looked at Lota, and Sanatos secretly whispered, "Lota, remember our agreement."

Lota didn't respond to Sanatos, but instead smiled and said, "I'm just doing some research out of boredom. There's no need for discussion. I'll come visit you when I have time, and I just hope you won't find it annoying."

Lota was well aware of Ouf's purpose.

However, now is not the time to make contact with Ouf.

Hearing Lota's words, Of knew perfectly well that Lota was rejecting him, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Don't worry. You're welcome to come to my Augu Garden anytime."

Lota didn't linger and left immediately.

Sanatos and Vivia didn't linger and returned to the Underworld and the Realm of Life, respectively.

After everyone had left, Auf smiled helplessly. "Well, let's study the principle carefully first and see if it can achieve the expected results. If it goes smoothly, perhaps it really can succeed."

A light shone in O'F's eyes.

Afterwards, Ouf returned to the Augu Garden and focused on his research and deductions.

As for the essence and blood of the four divine beasts, there's no rush to obtain them.

A million years later.

Although Orph had grasped the principle of spacetime distortion, he was in no hurry to obtain the essence of the Four Divine Beasts. Instead, he did not leave Augu Garden for millions of years.

This reassured the other rulers somewhat. But it also felt normal; given Of's personality, this was perfectly normal.

For millions of years, the Qingya plane has been under the jurisdiction of Beirut.

Although Beirut has only fused four profound mysteries, his physical strength has already reached the level of a main artifact, and his brute force is incredibly powerful. When Beirut encountered Heimus during his previous adventures, the two competed in brute force, and Beirut's physical attacks were only seven or eight times weaker than Heimus's.

However, Beirut's defense far surpasses that of Heimers. This means that even Heimers cannot harm Beirut in the slightest. On the contrary, Beirut poses a certain degree of threat to Heimers.

Combined with the Devouring God Rat's innate divine abilities and the main artifact for soul defense, it can be said that Beirut would not be powerless to resist even when facing a Great Perfection Upper God.

Even Morritt now considered Beirut a freak.

Over a million years, he has integrated four profound mysteries, his body is comparable to a main artifact, his brute force is almost invincible, his defense is directly unsolvable, and his strength is close to the Great Perfection. What else could he be but a freak?

There's a reason why Beirut was noticed by the ruler at birth.

Since Beirut reached his power limit, the wind god avatar has primarily maintained peace in the Qingya plane. The dark god avatar, on the other hand, went to Hell with Kalena, first visiting the Red Maple Mansion, and only then did Beirut truly begin his journey through Hell.

There was also an event in between: Carolina became pregnant and gave birth to triplets. Unfortunately, none of the triplets were true God-Eating Rats.

Afterwards, Beirut's wind-elemental god avatar remained in the Qingya plane to teach his three sons cultivation.

Meanwhile, Beirut's avatar of the Dark God, who had traveled to Hell, has now challenged the Lord of the Azure Palace and assumed the position. He has become infamous throughout Hell, regarded by countless people as an invincible figure who appears to be at the Great Perfection stage.

It is said that Dennington once visited the Blue House.

No one knows what happened between Beirut and Dennington. However, Dennington treats Beirut as an equal, which further confirms Beirut's terrifying power.
