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

Lota's "caution" made it seem as if his true strength was limited. Furthermore, with the emergence of the Supreme God's mission and the Supreme Artifact, the power of the Ruler increased, leading to less attention being paid to Lota by other Rulers.

After all, the blessing that a supreme artifact bestows upon a god is immense.

Especially for the four Rulers, after obtaining the Supreme Artifacts, their strength far surpasses that of the Law Rulers. Under these circumstances, even if Lota is somewhat mysterious, it won't matter.

Of course, all rulers have their own secrets, but Lota is just relatively more mysterious.

"If Lota can get involved, along with Augusta, the chances of success will definitely be much higher."

Utrecht suddenly said something out of the blue, as if he was thinking about something.

"but."

Utrecht frowned slightly. "Lota is too cautious. If he discovers something amiss, it will be troublesome."

Since the Ruler of Rules obtained the Supreme Artifact, its status has surpassed that of the Law Ruler. However, this does not mean that the Ruler of Rules can now disregard the Law Ruler.

After all, even if the Law Ruler couldn't defeat them in a fight, they could easily escape. That would be a considerable problem.

After a moment's thought, Utrecht decided against actively provoking Lota, lest something unexpected happen. However, if Redding and the others continued to provoke Lota, then it wouldn't be his fault.

Thinking of this, Utrecht looked towards the celestial realm, his gaze distant and lost in thought.

Chapter 25 Lord of Red Maple Mansion

Hell, Blood Peak Continent.

Youlan Mansion, Tianji Mountain Range.

Inside the main hall of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Leding and the other three sat in the hall, their expressions somewhat solemn.

The killing of their family members was actually insignificant to them; after all, as the chief god, they wouldn't interfere in matters of gods. What truly concerned them was Lota's intervention.

"The Dark Lord has actually come to Bloodpeak Continent!"

Nemo, the chief god of the Vermilion Bird, spoke first.

Since the covenant of the main gods took effect, although the four of them are only lower-level main gods, according to the covenant, their status is equal to that of the seven great law rulers. The four of them are not allowed to fight against lower or middle-level main gods when they join forces.

In terms of strength, they were indeed classified as being at the Dominator level.

However, the four of them also knew that the other rulers did not truly treat them as equals.

"Is Lota deliberately provoking us?"

Bowen, the chief god of Xuanwu, also frowned slightly and spoke.

Although the four were somewhat displeased, they weren't blinded by the so-called "friction." Having lived for countless years, they weren't stupid. What kind of impression they left on outsiders was up to them; in private, the four of them naturally didn't need to hide themselves.

"A mere Law Master, acting as if he's invincible."

The White Tiger God Lius seemed unafraid of Lota, stating directly, "If he truly has designs on us, it might very well be an opportunity for us."

At this point, Lius looked at Redding, his golden-ringed eyes shining slightly, and he switched to telepathy, saying, "Once we have a member of the High God Clan in our family, we may not necessarily be at a disadvantage even when facing the Ruler of Rules."

They were well aware that only their fused innate divine abilities had reached the level of a ruler; in other aspects, they were far from being high-ranking gods.

Therefore, the four of them have always had a rather awkward position. In particular, the agreement of the Supreme God, in their view, is a restriction imposed on them by these eleven rulers.

Are powerful lower-level gods not lower-level gods?

What utter rubbish logic!

Following this logic, a lower-level supreme god who has reached the Great Perfection stage cannot be considered a lower-level supreme god either. Since the strength of supreme gods is different, they cannot fight!

Besides the four of them, who form a "dominant" group, the remaining seven law masters and four rule masters, although varying in strength, can escape regardless of who engages in combat if the other does not wish to fight.

But what about the four of them?

Once a battle breaks out, the outcome is self-evident; they have no choice.

Kill your opponent, or be killed by your opponent!

Even if they could kill their opponent, would the other rulers just stand by and watch?

They had no hope of any divine agreement.

In their view, no one had ever bothered them except for those who were not confident in stopping their combined innate abilities. The rest were simply mutually restraining each other, and it would be a loss to take action against them.

It was precisely because of this agreement from the main god that the four of them dared not separate.

Redding remained calm and unperturbed by Lius's words. "This is the third time something like this has happened since the War of Faith. Apart from a few Rulers, the others don't dare to act rashly."

"However, we must also be on guard."

Reading continued, "This Lota is too mysterious; he might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve."

"Hmph, as long as he dares to make a direct attack, no matter what moves he uses, I don't believe he can withstand our ultimate move. At that time, we will go all out and kill him."

Lius narrowed his eyes. "How about we select and train clansmen with dark talents in advance? Once we kill Lota, we can directly refine the main godhead before the other rulers can react."

"According to your idea, we'll be training more than just clansmen with dark talents. So, this is something you can only dream about."

Nemo shook his head helplessly. "Lota is the ruler of darkness. It's impossible for him to fight us over something so trivial."

Although his tone was helpless, Nemo was also confident that Lota wouldn't dare to face the combined ultimate moves of the four of them.

"So, we're just going to let this go like this?"

Bowen couldn't help but frown.

The four of them are already "limited" at the Dominator level, and if they really back down, their position will become even more awkward.

“There’s no need to back down. No matter how powerful Lota is, can he be stronger than Mis? We didn’t back down even when facing Mis, a Great Perfection Water Element Ruler. Lota is not a threat.”

Redding spoke directly, "However, there's no need to confront Lota directly. Send your people to the Dark God Realm to kill some Seven-Star Shadows. Especially some Fallen Angels, kill some of them."

Fallen angels are the exclusive domain of the Dark God. In particular, only Lota can create fallen angels of the Seven-Star Shadow level.

It can be said that every fallen angel of the Seven Stars is related to Lota.

Lota has no one of her kind, so she can only target the fallen angels.

This can be seen as a tacit expression of attitude, salvaging some of the Four Divine Beasts' reputation.

"Fallen angels, angels of light"

Lius curled his lip. "The stuff that Lota and Augusta came up with is truly disgusting."

"But it must be said that with just these fallen angels and light angels, their rule over the Dark God Realm and the Light God Realm has become much easier."

Nemo spoke.

The chief god is different from other gods. In addition to being more powerful and having a different level of life, once a chief god becomes a god, he or she also has his own "duties".

This is a duty passed down from the Supreme God.

For example, consuming the number of god-level powerhouses in the interdimensional battlefield and retrieving godhoods in the god-level plane and handing them over to the supreme god are all within their scope of duties.

Just as the guardians of the material plane are sent by the main god to manage the material plane.

The chief gods, in a sense, are also guardians of the divine plane. However, their authority is much greater, to the point that as long as it is within the bounds of the rules, they can do whatever they want.

This is why, regardless of which main god it is, they all have their own "territory," and whether or not they are in hiding, they all have their own army.

All of this is for the better management of the divine plane.

However, among all the main gods, the ones who manage the divine plane the most "simple" are the God of Light and the God of Darkness. The reason for this is that the main gods of these two systems can create angels.

This is an inherent ability of both the Light Godhood and the Dark Godhood.

Other systemic gods, even those who govern the rules, do not possess this ability. They devote far more effort to managing their divine planes than the main gods of the darkness and light systems.

The true role of the chief god is not to be powerful, but to cooperate with the supreme god to maintain the balance and operation of heaven and earth.

However, few chief gods have given these things much thought.

In fact, even though Lota possessed "Memories of Earth," he overlooked one point: why did a supreme god come into being in this world?

After all, a supreme god is not a specific realm of cultivation. What is the significance of the birth of a supreme god? Is it merely to surpass the god level and create a new realm?

In Lota's "Memories of Blue Star," there is almost no description of this point. Ultimately, in "Memories of Blue Star," this world is just a "novel," and only a story spanning a little over 20,000 years.

This world has actually given rise to more than a thousand epochs. Twenty thousand years is not even a moment in the grand scheme of things.

In addition, all the core elements have been focused on "Linley" over the past 20,000 years. Even if Linley later became a god, it has only been less than 10,000 years. How could he possibly understand all of this?

Perhaps Linley understood this after he "transcended" his spiritual path, but there's no need to explain further. It's like how Linley later restored his lost divine essence.

However, this is not entirely without clues.

This world is based on the elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, giving rise to two energies: darkness and light, and from which lightning is derived as the power of judgment.

As for the Four Great Rules, they are the rules governing the normal operation of the universe.

This is also one of the few descriptions of this world in "Blue Star Memories".

Furthermore, this world was originally a subsidiary universe created by Hongmeng for the stability of the so-called "main universe." If the subsidiary universe itself cannot exist for long, how can it stabilize the main universe?

Therefore, the main godhood was actually an extra part added by Hongmeng to stabilize this subordinate universe.

The goal is to repair the instability of the subordinate universe.

Refining the main godhead, to some extent, means "combining" with the rules of this subordinate universe.

This explains why the Supreme God and the gods are completely different. The Supreme God's abilities far surpass those of god-level powerhouses. Under this kind of "authority hierarchy" restriction, no matter how powerful a god is, they cannot have any influence in front of the Supreme God.

Moreover, different main gods have different focuses on their "duties" in addition to combat.

In fact, it is because of the differences in their respective "laws and rules" that the special characteristics of the main gods of different systems are also different.

For example, the Earth-type God is inherently connected to the "Earth-type Laws" of this universe, and primarily represents the operation and existence of the "Earth-type Laws" throughout the entire world. Much of the time, it maintains the population of Earth-type life forms within this world.

The main gods of the rule system are, in a sense, very similar to the "messengers" of the supreme god, as they serve the rules of the supreme god more often than not.

As for the derived darkness, light, and lightning, they are more inclined to complement and compensate for the shortcomings of other laws.

For example, for life in the material plane, light and darkness are essential for survival, something that other laws and rules cannot achieve.

Therefore, the creation of the Light and Dark Goddesses was primarily for stabilizing the material plane, which differs from the bias of the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind Goddesses.

It is precisely because of this that the main deities of the Light and Dark factions have developed abilities different from other main deities, possessing the Angel Reincarnation Pool that can directly transform the souls of life forms from material planes that meet the conditions into angels.

Of course, regardless of which system the main god belongs to, the basic duty is to maintain the normalcy of the area under their jurisdiction.
