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

To be honest, none of the four of them expected the opportunity to come so "suddenly." They had anticipated that their first battle would likely be against Augusta.

Moreover, Augusta has always been their first choice. After all, Augusta possesses a supreme artifact. The gains from killing Augusta outweigh those from Lota.

But Lota appeared too quickly, halfway through the journey.

Given this, they naturally don't care about obtaining the Dark Supreme Godhood.

The only thing to watch out for is whether they can escape the "spying" of other gods after they obtain the Dark Supreme Godhood.

Especially the Lord of Light, Augusta.

It's even quite possible that they'll face a coalition of Lota and Augusta. Even if the possibility is small, we must take precautions.

Let's get ready.

Reading spoke calmly, all traces of his previous anger gone.

A grandson in exchange for a high-level godhood is well worth it. In fact, even the annihilation of the entire Four Divine Beasts clan would be worthwhile if it meant obtaining a single high-level godhood.

Upon hearing Reading's words, the eyes of the three of them lit up. Countless years had passed, and this day had finally arrived.

Once this battle is over, the divine covenant that weighs on their heads will no longer be a mountain.

The Dark Realm, the Shadow Continent.

Dragon Soul Mansion, outside Dragon Soul City.

Just as Christine killed Todd Redding, countless water-based divine powers appeared out of thin air.

In the blink of an eye, a giant face tens of meters tall appeared.

As the giant face appeared, a terrifying pressure instantly spread out.

The supreme god has descended.

All the god-level powerhouses trembled in their hearts and knelt down under this oppressive force.

"Greetings, Lord God."

The remaining members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan around them showed both resentment towards Christine and excitement at seeing their clan's ancestor, the chief god.

The gods watching from afar were also secretly observing; this was the most interesting moment since the war of faith.

Perhaps, a battle between the main gods will occur.

If it were truly Lota fighting the Four Divine Beasts, even the Ruler of the Rules wouldn't intervene. Their battle, in terms of both cause and level, is in accordance with the agreement of the Supreme God.

After the giant face of the main god that Redding conjured appeared, it looked directly at Christine without saying a word, and a beam of light shot out from its eyes.

Clearly, he intends to kill Christine first.

Or rather, to incite conflict between him and Lota.

They had waited far too long for this battle.

Just then, a change occurred in Christine's pure black eyes; a golden light slowly emerged from the depths of her eyes.

His entire demeanor underwent a peculiar change in an instant.

At this moment, Christine, facing Redding's giant face, casually raised the divine sword in her hand and slashed it, actually dispersing Redding's attack.

The onlookers, all of whom were awe-inspiring, were stunned by this scene.

The Great Perfection?

Is Christine a supreme deity at the Great Perfection level?

Among the god-level powerhouses, only the Great Perfection Upper God can face the giant projection of the main god's face.

"Reading, you're asking for it."

The voice of "Christine" rang out, immediately recognizing the giant face and calling it by its name.

Her voice was cold, but she seemed to have an air of superiority that Christine had before.

The surrounding deities, looking at "Christine" at this moment, unconsciously felt a tremor deep within their souls. It was a pressure emanating from the depths of their souls.

"Lota is here."

Upon witnessing this scene, the supreme deity instantly knew what had happened.

To manifest one's soul, or rather, will, within a god or angel is a unique ability of either a god of light or a god of darkness.

However, not all the main gods know this. After all, this is considered a little-known "secret" among the main gods of light and darkness.

Therefore, some lower-ranking gods also showed surprise and doubt, marveling at the Dark Lord's wondrous methods.

At the scene, only Augusta and a few of the main gods knew this move.

Augusta, in particular, sneered inwardly at the astonished looks of some of the main gods; the special nature of gods and angels was beyond their comprehension.

The divine angels are born from the main godhood using the angelic reincarnation pool. These divine angels possess angelic hearts but lack godhood. The angelic hearts are connected to the reincarnation pool, which in turn is born from the main godhood.

Therefore, it can be said that divine angels are products of the chief deity. They are "weapons" belonging to the chief deity, and also "special avatars" of the chief deity.

The Supreme God can use the body of a divine angel at any time in a manner similar to "divine descent" into a material plane.

Of course, the strength of a "divinely descended" angel is limited by the physical strength of the divine angel. However, even if the angel is weak, the difference won't be too significant, because the soul of a "divinely descended" angel possesses the power of will.

Christine is a fallen angel formed from the fusion of six profound mysteries. When the god Lota descended upon Christine, she was able to unleash her full power.

Furthermore, if we take into account Christine's own "special power fluctuations," Lota, using Christine's body, would be able to easily defeat other Great Perfection Upper Gods.

In other words, even if a Great Perfection Supreme God provoked Lota, hiding in the material plane wouldn't help.

As long as Christine's "body" exists, Lota's control and deterrent power over the material plane surpasses that of all the main gods.

This is one of the reasons why Augusta felt somewhat jealous of Lota after confirming from Ouf that Christine was a six-fold fallen angel.

Fortunately, Christine didn't appear during the war of faith; otherwise, no one in the material plane would have been able to compete with Lota for faith.

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 39

It's going to be available for purchase tomorrow after noon. First of all, thank you all for your support – recommendations, monthly tickets, tips, comments, I really appreciate it all.

For a writer, each one makes me feel like I have someone with me.

Of course, I also have to thank my editor, Liuxingju, for giving me a lot of advice and recommending my work; otherwise, I might not have been able to write so smoothly.

Let me now address some of the comments from everyone.

First, regarding updates, I admit there aren't many updates, but during the initial period of a new book, the word count is generally around four to six thousand words. This book, except for a few days at the very beginning when it was less than three thousand words, has mostly had over four thousand words in each chapter. It's just that I personally don't like dividing the book into chapters; most chapters simply present a short, simple segment of content.

So there are chapters with 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 words in between. To many people, that's just one chapter, and they feel that one chapter a day is too little.

Perhaps everyone is used to looking at the chapter number; it's just my own issue.

Many people have advised me to publish it in separate chapters, as it seems like too much content. Actually, I read books myself, and I often find reading short chapters unsatisfying, so I'm too lazy to break it down into smaller, fragmented sections when I'm writing.

Originally, I planned to update 20,000 words immediately after the book was published, finishing the story of the Four Divine Beasts in one go. However, many people advised me to calm down, haha, and to divide it into ten chapters, which would also be more interesting. The word count remained the same.

I'll divide it into chapters, but I'm not sure how many chapters there will be. It might not be ten chapters, but it'll be about 20,000 words. After all, it would feel awkward if it were too short; I wouldn't be able to grasp some of the deeper points.

As for the rules for extra updates later, there are no rules. I've matured, so I'll update extra updates on my own. As long as I'm not busy, it'll be between 8,000 and 10,000+ words. However, I might not divide it into chapters anymore; I'm hopelessly lazy.

Then there's the plot development, and the issues with the protagonist and the system.

This was just something I wrote following a trend; you can tell from the title, there's nothing to hide. I was just jumping on the bandwagon and getting a feel for writing. As for the system, it was actually just a starting point. Everything that's happening now is fundamentally because of the system. Without it, why would the protagonist be doing all this?

Then there's the protagonist. From the beginning, I envisioned him as a near-invincible being; there wasn't much to write about him. He's a character who looks down on everyone from a high place; he's more of an observer. I've also mentioned to others that I want to write about some of my favorite characters from the original work and flesh out their stories.

Therefore, many plot points will revolve around Beirut, Qinghuo, and other characters in the future, but they will all revolve around the main character.

A novel is never just a stage for the protagonist alone. To me, or to everyone else, this is a novel, but to the characters within it, it's a world with its own stories. So I'll try to write in as much detail as possible, which might slow down the pace. It also allows me to write a little more, since this book isn't very long; the more, the better.

Finally, there's the part about strength or settings related to the original work. This is a reasonable conclusion reached through extensive discussions within the group.

We also have to thank the expert [Bernai] for providing various screenshots. This expert has read Panlong over thirty times. While we can't say he knows it by heart, he can at least find screenshots from the original text in two minutes for any question we ask. It's unbelievable, but it's true.

The fact that I've been able to write this far wouldn't have been possible without the support and discussions from all the experts; it's truly a crowdfunding effort to write this book.

Therefore, many settings, even those not explicitly stated in the original work, are inferred by experts based on the descriptions in the original plot. For example, everyone knows that the power of a Great Perfection cultivator is very strong, but no one has a clear concept of just how strong.

We can only speculate based on the various descriptions in the original work.

Recently, there's been a lot of discussion about the strength of a six-elemental angel, with many feeling it's weaker. But in reality, without the power of will, the difference in strength between a six-elemental angel and one that's only slightly less than six-elemental isn't that significant. In fact, if an angel possesses additional special abilities, a six-elemental angel might not even be able to defeat its opponent.

Therefore, the Six-Faced Angel needed other enhancements to kill two powerful peak Asuras.

Take, for example, Gaisleysen's strength. He is indeed a Shura, but what are the known conditions? A powerful body, very strong, a main artifact plus innate divine power, and a divine weapon. Even with all these, he is still a Shura. Moreover, in the original work, a commander said that he was only about the same as them. This commander can only be considered as above average.

If he possesses the Five Elements of Profound Mystery, combined with the previous techniques, he could easily crush a commander of this level with a single punch.

Therefore, we can only speculate that he has four or even three financial backings.

This is only one part of it.

I won't explain them one by one. I will make a note of any discrepancies between the setting and the speculation. For example, the ten-winged angel part is my own secondary setting. The expert found the screenshots and said that in the original work, the ten-winged angel was just an ordinary mid-level god.

Finally, please subscribe.

See you after it's available.

Chapter 40 Intercepting the Spoils (7k)

“Lota.”

Upon hearing "Christine's" words, Redding immediately realized that the "Christine" in front of him was Lota.

Clearly, Reading was well aware of the special nature of the angels.

Or rather, beings with power reaching the level of a ruler, as well as the main gods of darkness and light, all know that the main gods of darkness and light can "descend" onto the divine angels.

"Christine," or rather Lota looked at Redding's massive face, "coming to my Dark God Realm to kill fallen angels, do you really think the Dark God Realm is your Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range?"

Lota's voice was calm as she raised the black and gold divine sword in her hand. A sword beam far surpassing the one Christine had used before appeared, instantly splitting the giant projected face that Redding had created in two.

“Lota.”

The giant projected face only had time to let out an angry roar before it completely vanished into the world.
