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

Although the Supreme God has never stated that there will be punishment for mismanagement, no main god would intentionally provoke the Supreme God. Execution without warning is not uncommon for the Supreme God.

After all, the second ruler of the water system, Mis, died at the hands of the supreme god in the same way.

If the Supreme God had issued a prior announcement, Mis wouldn't have dared to destroy the material plane, no matter what.

Therefore, although the main gods don't care about the lives of gods, they secretly maintain the "normality" of their respective regions. This is why the main gods created cities and armies, and even forbade fighting within cities. The purpose is to maintain basic stability.

Blood Peak Continent, Red Maple Prefecture.

Red Maple City.

boom

The fluctuations in the rules of heaven and earth descended.

The powerful figures in the city all noticed this fluctuation, indicating that someone had become a god or had broken through their cultivation level on their own.

This situation is not uncommon in cities.

Although many people paid attention, it did not cause much of a stir.

In a secluded courtyard, Beirut landed from mid-air with a smile on his face. "I've finally reached the level of a mid-level god."

Having witnessed the battle between Vay and Stuk at Grayblood Mountain, and even feeling that the aftershocks could have killed him, he took Kalena's advice and continued to cultivate peacefully in the city.

Reaching the level of a mid-level god greatly increased his strength, making him far more powerful than an ordinary mid-level god.

With his innate supernatural powers alone, no one among the mid-level gods could rival him. Even if he ventured into the divine plane and encountered bandits, he would have a certain ability to protect himself.

Although encountering a high-ranking god would be troublesome for him, in Hell, high-ranking gods are all upper-class figures, and it is not difficult for any high-ranking god to live in a city.

Among bandits, there aren't many high-ranking gods. Could he be so unlucky as to encounter a high-ranking god bandit while on his adventures?

"Congratulations, you have reached the intermediate god level."

Calerona, who was standing nearby, smiled when she saw Beirut break through.

Beirut just smiled. He was actually quite proud of himself for reaching the mid-level god realm so quickly. "I will probably go into seclusion for a while, about three to five hundred years. After that, I plan to make my way in the Red Maple Prefecture."

Although Beirut wanted to witness the wonders of the divine plane, he wouldn't just rush out like that.

Three to five hundred years is enough time for him to devour a considerable number of mid-level godheads. Although devouring godheads to create godhead weapons is relatively slow for him, simply absorbing the essence of godheads to strengthen himself is not too slow for him at present.

He was confident that he could raise his physical strength to a level close to that of a mid-tier artifact.

Upon hearing that Beirut would remain here for another three to five hundred years, a hint of joy flashed in Karerona's eyes, and she hurriedly said, "You can go into seclusion in peace, leave everything else to me."

With that, Kalena took out a spatial ring and said, "Here, there are ten thousand mid-level divine sparks inside. You can use them first."

Clearly, Kalrona knew why Beirut was in seclusion and had prepared her divine status long ago.

Whether it's a lower-level, middle-level, or higher-level deity, the hardness is actually the same. However, for Beirut, higher-level deities yield more divine essence from the refinement process.

Beirut saw Karelona looking at him with a smile, and a sudden thought crossed his mind, but he quickly suppressed it and accepted the spatial ring. "Thank you."

Seeing Beirut accept the spatial ring, Carolina's smile deepened. "No need to thank me. You should cultivate diligently. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Calerona left.

Watching Calerona leave, Beirut breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the spatial ring in his hand, exhaled again, and smiled slightly before returning to his room to enter seclusion.

Red Maple City, City Lord's Mansion.

Inside an extremely luxuriously decorated room.

Carolina appeared there, and before her stood an elderly man with a full head of silver hair. The old man held a mahogany cane, at the top of which was a peculiar red crystal.

"Karlona, ​​I'll ask you one more time, are you really interested in Beirut?"

The old man suddenly spoke.

Clearly, the old man had known about Beirut's existence for a long time.

Hearing the old man's words, Carolina did not hide anything. Although she was a little nervous, she still answered affirmatively, "I dare not hide it from you, Master. I like Beirut."

Although her answer was direct, Carolina was also a little uneasy. She knew that her teacher had always had high expectations for her; in fact, a seven-star demon had previously harassed her, and her teacher had killed him.

That's why she never really wanted Beirut to leave Maple Leaf City.

She was somewhat afraid that her teacher, in order to extinguish her thoughts, would secretly send someone to kill Beirut.

For a teacher, killing Beirut is no harder than crushing an ant.

Hearing Carolina's direct words, the old man did not immediately refute her, which surprised Carolina somewhat.

"If you've really made up your mind, there's no going back."

The old man suddenly spoke.

Hearing the old man's words, Carolina seemed somewhat surprised and looked up in astonishment, "Teacher, you..."

The old man suddenly laughed and looked at Calerona. "Alright, don't ask about this anymore. I won't interfere in your relationship with Beirut. But if you don't end up with Beirut, that's your own business."

Although she didn't know why the old man had changed his mind, Carolina had no time to think about it and was overjoyed. "Yes, thank you, teacher!"

"All right."

The old man chuckled, “Beirut is already a mid-level god, and it won’t be long before he ventures into Red Maple Prefecture. If you’re willing, you can go with Beirut.”

Upon hearing that the old man was willing to let her accompany Beirut on his adventures, Carolina was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, teacher! You're so kind!"

"Alright, you can go now."

The old man simply shook his head helplessly, his tone tinged with affection.

"Yes."

Karelona smiled and agreed, then happily ran out, not knowing where she was going.

After Karelona left, two figures emerged from the room.

These figures were none other than Lota's messengers, Morit and Kakchi.

"Please excuse my disciple; he is a bit too unconventional."

The old man looked at Morit and Kakoch and smiled.

"Hehe, this kind of personality is actually quite complementary to Beirut."

Morritt replied.

He and Kakchi were renowned Asura powerhouses throughout the divine realm for countless years. While ordinary gods might not recognize them, it wouldn't be difficult for equally powerful Asuras to recognize them.

In particular, unlike Kakchi, even if he concealed his soul aura, he could still be detected by other Asura powerhouses.

This old man was none other than Quinceon, the Lord of Red Maple Manor, an extremely powerful Lord.

Otherwise, Kakki wouldn't have thought of attracting the attention of the main god by challenging Quinceon in the first place.

Being discovered by Quinson didn't bother them much, since the Overlord hadn't intended to hide it. He simply instructed them to secretly protect Beirut.

Hearing Morritt's words, Quinceon could only nod.

He discovered Morritt by chance, and the rest was simple. Even without Morritt speaking, he figured out Morritt and Kakoch's purpose.

Morrit was originally a messenger of the main god. Without the main god's command, would he continue to pay such tedious attention to a lower god?

He's not stupid.

Especially after learning that Kakki was now also a messenger of the main god, he became even more certain of his thoughts.

He still couldn't understand what was so special about Beirut that it might be attracting the attention of the main god.

It was precisely because of this that he changed his initial attitude and supported Karelona and Beirut being together.

Even if I guessed wrong, given the level of attention Morit and Kakic paid to Beirut, Beirut must be related to these two super strong individuals.

Just a note: much of the content in this book, as well as some of my previous writings, is based on the work of a fellow reader, [Belnai]. This author has read the original novel at least 30+ times. Aside from some secondary interpretations (currently mainly concerning the three fallen rulers, whose settings have been significantly altered), most of the content is based on screenshots he found in the original work. Special thanks to him!

Of course, many readers have been discussing this, and much of the content is actually the most reasonable conclusion reached after these discussions. I'm truly grateful to everyone. Without you all, I wouldn't have been able to write so smoothly.

Finally, regarding updates, this book isn't too long. Before it went on sale, each chapter was already around four or five thousand words. It's not long, but it's not at the bottom either. Once it's officially released, I estimate I'll update rapidly until it's finished within a month.

Finally, thank you for recommending Black Morning Star S.

He sacrificed me to get me on the shelf, so shouldn't I just let it bounce back at him?

I recommend the book *All Heavens: Rise from Becoming a Saint*. It starts with a coiled dragon and tells the story of Lin Lei after his transcendence. It's quite good. Apparently, it also includes content on Devouring and the Desolate Era. Those interested can check it out.

Chapter 26 Dark God Realm

Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Red Maple City.

Quinceon prepared a banquet to entertain Morit and Kakoch. As for Beirut, even if he were to venture out into the world, as long as he remained within Red Maple Manor, Quinceon could guarantee that nothing untoward would happen to him.

Moreover, with Karerona by his side, and with Karerona's current strength approaching that of a seven-star demon, Beirut's safety is more than guaranteed.

Within Red Maple Manor, there isn't a single person stronger than Carolina who doesn't know her.

For these reasons, Morit and Kakoci were happy to have some free time, even though keeping an eye on Beirut in secret wasn't difficult. But being able to relax was naturally the best option.

Quinceon drank a little of the specially made wine, his face flushing slightly. Alcohol doesn't actually have much of an effect on god-level powerhouses. However, unless it's a special occasion, god-level powerhouses rarely actively shield themselves from the effects of alcohol; they simply enjoy the intoxicating feeling.

Looking at Kakic, Quinn's tone was full of envy and emotion, "I really didn't expect that you would be taken in as an agent by the Overlord."

Although he was also a messenger of the main god, he was a messenger of the main god of Bifu. He was well aware that the main god he served was, in fact, just an ordinary lower-ranking main god among the main gods.

Of course, even a lower-level god is more powerful than he could imagine.

Kakic just smiled and didn't explain why, saying directly, "I was just a bit luckier."

"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Morritt chuckled, glancing at Quinceon, and said casually, "I heard there's still fighting in the Burning Fire Mountains? Aren't you, the lord of the manor, planning to get involved?"

Ever since Stuk, the Seven-Star Demon Elder of the White Tiger Clan of the Four Divine Beasts, was dragged into the spatial turbulence by Wai, many powerful figures have focused their attention on the Xuena Clan of the Burning Fire Mountains.

Just a few years ago, powerful members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan descended upon the Burning Fire Mountains.

Among them were even messengers of the two main gods, the White Tiger God and the Azure Dragon God, namely Mel and Spark.

The fact that these two were accepted as envoys by the White Tiger and Azure Dragon speaks volumes about their strength. In other words, any envoy of a main god is a true pinnacle figure in the divine realm.

Among them, even the weakest can easily take the position of the prefect.
