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

Gus frowned upon hearing Stuk's words, and his tone turned colder. "Tell me more."

The Four Divine Beasts Clan is renowned throughout the divine realm. Although members of the clan are often killed for various reasons, they are almost always insignificant.

No one dared to kill a member of the Four Divine Beasts clan outright, as Seven-Star Demons were the pillars of the clan. Was this a provocation against the Four Divine Beasts clan?

Stook quickly gave a brief account of what had happened.

"A fight to the death?"

Gus frowned even more deeply.

He has lived almost since the beginning of time, experiencing countless things. A deathmatch is a conventional way of fighting, where both sides aim to kill each other.

It's not impossible for someone to be killed under such circumstances.

Moreover, if one is killed in a desperate battle, it will be a pointless death.

“Patriarch, I already know about Nawai. He doesn’t have the power of a main god! He must have obtained the power of a main god through the Xuena family. This must have been planned by the Xuena family in advance to kill my strongest divine avatar!”

Stuk clearly knew what Gus was thinking and said anxiously, "If it were a normal fight to the death, I would have no complaints about being killed; it's because I'm not as skilled as him. But that Vainin was willing to drag me into the spatial turbulence even at the cost of his life. It wasn't a fight at all; he was clearly ordered to kill my strongest divine avatar at any cost! Komo and Kod were also there and saw it with their own eyes."

He clearly knew that the death battle was special, but people in his family often fought to the death. However, no one had ever been pulled into the spatial turbulence by the power of the main god like him.

As he spoke, Stuker's eyes even showed humiliation, "Clan leader, it doesn't matter that my strongest divine avatar has perished, but what the Wai and Xuena families have done is a provocation against my Four Divine Beasts families! I beg the clan leader to see the truth!"

"Humph!"

After hearing Stuk's words, Gus's eyes turned cold, and he gave him a cold snort, which made Stuk tremble all over.

“Stuk, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.”

Gus didn't give Stuk a chance to speak further, his voice cold, "Your strongest divine avatar was killed, and you are resentful and want your family to avenge you!"

"Chieftain...it is me."

Stook couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although Guss reprimanded Stuk, he then changed the subject, "However, the fact that Vayne dragged you into the spatial turbulence at all costs suggests that the Scherna family is also involved. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If what you say is true, and Vayne's divine power was deliberately bestowed by the Scherna family to kill you, the family will step in."

Guts looked out of the side hall, his voice tinged with arrogance and coldness, "The Four Divine Beast Families are not to be bullied!"

He could accept Stuk's death in battle, but he could not accept others bullying the Four Divine Beasts.

Upon hearing Guts's words, Stuk kowtowed to Guts, his voice filled with gratitude, "Stuk thanks the chieftain!"

"Alright, you can go now. Let Como and Cod come to see me."

Gus's voice remained flat.

"Yes!"

Stuk breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a surge of resentment. "Wai, your Shena family dares to provoke my Four Divine Beasts family! You're asking for death!"

However, at that moment, Gus's voice rang out, "After the matter of the Xuena family is over, you will go and patrol the Tianji Mountain Range for ten thousand years."

In Guts's view, whatever the reason for all this, Sturk's death had disgraced the Four Divine Beasts, and punishment was necessary.

Stook paused slightly, but finally replied, "Yes."

Patrolling the mountains wasn't dangerous, since no one dared to cause trouble for the Four Divine Beasts clan. However, for him, it was still the greatest punishment.

Because those who patrol the Tianji Mountain Range are all ordinary members of the family.

In other words, his status in the family has changed.

Although he had expected it, it was still hard for him to accept.

All of this was caused by Wai! All of this was caused by the Scherna family!

You all deserve to die!

Chapter 18 The Reactions of the Four Divine Beasts Family

Hell, the Azure Palace.

The Tianji Mountains are home to the White Tiger clan, one of the Four Divine Beasts.

Two figures flew swiftly towards the location of the White Tiger Hall. These two were none other than the White Tiger Clan elders, Kode and Komo. However, these were merely divine avatars left behind in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range; their true selves and their strongest avatars were still on their way back to the clan.

"It seems the clan leader is angry."

Codd transmitted his voice secretly.

Como responded, his eyes blazing with anger, "The Scherna family deserves to die."

Although Stuker and Wai were locked in a life-or-death struggle, no one had ever dared to actually kill an elder of one of the Four Divine Beasts families. This Xuena family was provoking the family.

The fall of Stuk filled them with resentment, but what angered them most was the loss of family face that the Four Divine Beasts had "lost" because of Stuk's death.

They held an unparalleled sense of honor towards their family. Anyone who dared to tarnish that honor was considered their enemy.

"A small family dares to kill an elder of my Four Divine Beasts family, humph."

Kode's tone was also unfriendly. As for right or wrong? There's no need to discuss it.

Moreover, in their view, Stuk only took away some of the core of the Scherna family, and did not destroy the Scherna family, which was already very "merciful".

Soon, the two arrived at the White Tiger Mountain cliff.

When the two arrived at the side hall, guards were already standing at the entrance.

Upon seeing the two, the guards respectfully greeted them, "Elders, the clan leader is already inside the hall."

The elders of the family are all powerful seven-star demons, and they have all made a name for themselves in the divine realm. The strength of the Four Divine Beasts family is closely related to them.

Therefore, almost every member of the family has an elder they admire.

"Ah."

The two nodded and then walked into the side hall.

In the side hall, Guts sat in the head seat. Besides Guts, there were three other seats next to him, all of which were occupied at the time.

These three are Gasresen Redding, the patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan; Tia Nemo, the patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan; and Mocore Bowen, the tall patriarch of the Black Tortoise Clan.

With Guts Lius included, the four of them were the highest-ranking members of the Four Divine Beasts family besides the Four Divine Beasts themselves.

Although the four would sometimes travel to other divine planes, they spent most of their time in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains. After all, the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains were the ancestral land of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and even their father remained there.

When Cord and Como saw this scene, their hearts tightened. They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but be shocked. It seemed that Stook's matter had a great impact on the family.

Without a second thought, the two bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Clan Chief."

"Alright, get up."

Gus's voice rang out.

"Thank you, clan chief."

The two stood awkwardly below.

"You two, explain the matter again in detail."

Gasleysen spoke directly.

Although the Four Divine Beasts Clan consists of four families with four patriarchs, they are different from other families. The four families are essentially one entity, with Gaisresen holding the highest prestige within the clan.

His prestige also exists among the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise clans.

It can be said that Gaisresen is the true patriarch of the Four Divine Beasts clans. Guts, Tia, and Mokore are merely the patriarchs of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise clans.

In addition to the Four Divine Beasts, Gaisleyn is also the strongest member of the Four Divine Beasts family.

Although he only fused the four mysteries of the water element, his father, the Azure Dragon God, used his own blood essence to strengthen his body. With his strong physical foundation, innate divine abilities, and soul defense artifact, even those peak Asuras might not be able to defeat him.

Upon hearing Gasleysen's question, the brothers Cord and Como became even more reserved, daring not to hide anything, and recounted the entire battle once again.

"Brother, it's almost exactly what Stuck said."

Gus then looked at Gasresen and spoke.

The fall of a Seven-Star Demon is a major event for any family. After all, the birth of a Seven-Star Demon is extremely difficult; it's considered very rare for one to appear every trillion years.

Of course, the fall of a Seven-Star Demon wouldn't be a crippling blow to the Four Divine Beasts families. However, if, as Stuk, Cod, and Como claim, the Schnauzer family secretly provoked the Four Divine Beasts families, such behavior is unforgivable.

Gasleysen simply nodded, his expression unchanged, and did not ask why Stuk and Wai fought to the death; it was not important to them.

What they truly valued was the reputation of the Four Divine Beasts clan.

Moreover, it is through protecting its members that the family has been able to prosper for so long.

"A mere Asura family dares to secretly provoke my Four Divine Beasts family; they truly deserve to die."

"Brother," said Mo Kelei, the patriarch of the Xuanwu clan, in a deep voice. "I think we should teach the Xuena family a lesson. Otherwise, our Four Divine Beasts Clan will probably be laughed at."

"Especially the Augusta family. If this gets back to Han Jin's ears, how will my Four Divine Beasts family develop in the God of Light Realm after being provoked on the Hellblood Peak Continent?"

"Those Augusta family guys will probably laugh at us for years to come."

The Four Divine Beasts families are powerful, but in the divine plane and countless material planes, there are many other powerful families. Some families are even as powerful as the Four Divine Beasts families.

However, there aren't many families with this kind of strength.

Among them, the most famous is the Augusta family.

Hankin Augusta was the patriarch of the Augusta family.

Although the Four Divine Beasts family has always claimed to be the number one family, most powerful individuals still believe that the Augusta family is the number one family.

However, the Augusta family mainly operates in the Realm of Light, with few members in other divine planes. In contrast, the members of the Four Divine Beasts families are spread across the seven elemental divine planes and the four supreme planes.

Even in countless material planes, there are members of the Four Divine Beasts family.

Therefore, it's impossible to say for sure whether the Four Divine Beasts family or the Augusta family is more powerful.

It can only be said that the two families have been vying for the title of "number one family".

Hearing Mokore's words, Gasleysen frowned slightly, clearly sharing the same concern.

To the Four Divine Beasts family, a mere Seven-Star Demon's demise is no big deal.

However, being ridiculed by the Augusta family and scorned by countless powerful figures is unacceptable.

Moreover, they have always regarded Blood Peak Continent as the territory of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and it is indeed shameful to be provoked in their own territory.
