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

The God Hunters are beings quite similar to demons of hell.

"The Earth God Plane, the Seven Star God Hunters".

Beirut nodded.

It seems the owner of this divine tomb is far more powerful than I imagined. He even has a Seven-Star God Hunter from the Earth God Plane as his subordinate.

Could it be that the owner of this divine tomb is a powerful Asura from the Earth God Plane?

"What did Dewei assign you to be here for?"

Beirut continued to ask.

"Guard the pass."

The mud giant replied directly, "Stop those who attempt to pass. And if I successfully stop a hundred people, I will gain my freedom."

At this point, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He tried to stop a hundred people, but the first one turned out to be this terrifying. How will he ever have a chance to leave? It's even questionable whether he can survive if he encounters other challengers in the future.

It seems the only option is to find a way to cultivate as quickly as possible and then attempt the challenges.

As the gatekeeper, he is also qualified to attempt the challenge. If he can reach the final level, he will not only gain freedom but also receive a huge reward.

Do you know what the next level is like?

Beirut nodded and asked.

The mud giant shook his head with a wry smile. "I don't know anything about the next level. But Lord Dewei warned me that with my strength, going to the seventh level would be suicide."

He didn't believe a Seven Star Hunter would deceive him.

Therefore, he never dared to take the initiative to attempt the challenge.

After a pause, the mud giant looked at Beirut and said, "However, with your strength, passing the seventh level should not be difficult."

After a moment of silence, Beirut said directly, "Take me to the entrance of the seventh level."

Based on my experience with the previous levels, although each level does have some hidden rewards, these rewards hold no appeal for Beirut.

All he wants to know now is what lies behind this sacred tomb.

The Tomb of the Gods, the eighteenth level.

Lota naturally knew the situation in Beirut.

"This God-Devouring Rat's talent is truly enviable."

Lota laughed.

Once the God-Devouring Rat reaches the level of a High God, it possesses the means to threaten the Asura, a power that is indeed a bit too abnormal. Furthermore, its ability to devour divine sparks to strengthen itself makes it extremely difficult for a God-Devouring Rat to compete with others once it reaches the High God realm.

Although Beirut has only passed a few levels so far, the strength it has shown is enough.

The gatekeepers that Ilitana found were almost all useless to Beirut.

It's not that these gatekeepers aren't strong, but rather that Beirut is too strong.

To have risen from an ordinary lower-level god to his current strength in a hundred thousand years, Beirut is definitely a person of great talent.

However, once Beirut reaches its current level of strength, it will be much more difficult for it to advance further.

Without an extraordinary stroke of luck, Beirut can at most fuse with one more profound technique, but he cannot progress any further. The stronger one's bloodline, the greater the limitations imposed by heaven and earth.

As for Beirut in the memories of Blue Star, in addition to the power of his will, he has also reached the limit of profound fusion with the main godhood.

Beirut is still a long way from that point.

"There's no need to let Beirut get through each hurdle one by one."

Lota said directly, "Give Kakchi a soul defense artifact, let him fight Beirut, and then bring Beirut to the eighteenth floor."

Kakchi is quite strong, but he was countered by Beirut's innate supernatural abilities. Even with his three-elemental soul mutation, he was still in danger of perishing.

Therefore, the Soul Defense artifact is also a safeguard for Kakki.

However, Beirut's extraordinary talent and fame have not yet spread throughout the divine realm.

As for the covenant between the main gods, which stipulates that the main god can only bestow one main artifact upon an envoy, Lota wasn't particularly concerned. After all, this was in the Qingya plane, and temporarily allowing Kakchi to use a soul defense main artifact wasn't a big deal.

They can just take it back later.

Moreover, Christine still possessed several main artifacts that she had obtained from Gaisresen and his companions. He did not reclaim them; even if a main god knew that he had lent the main artifacts to Kakki, it could be considered as Christine lending them out.

"Ah."

Ilitana's voice rang out.

Lota sat in the wicker chair, temporarily halting her research on the essence of the four divine beasts.

He has been paying attention to Beirut ever since he discovered it. Although he has changed many things during this time, Beirut's current development has given him a sense of "gain".

Therefore, he is still willing to meet with Beirut.

They wouldn't even mind taking Beirut as their envoy.

This gave him a sense of accomplishment.

The Tomb of the Gods, on the sixteenth level.

The sixteenth floor was extremely empty, with nothing but a small hut.

In front of the cabin, Kakoch and Morritt played chess to pass the time.

After destroying the ancestral homeland of the Four Divine Beast Clan in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains, they returned to the Azure Plane to serve Lota. Even when they were not needed, they remained there.

Of course, what's here is just one of their divine avatars; they also have other divine avatars in the divine plane.

After the creation of the Divine Tomb, they entered it and served as the guardians of the fifteenth and sixteenth levels.

Kakchi usually resides on the fifteenth level of the Divine Tomb. However, his role as the gatekeeper is quite leisurely.

Moreover, he can go to different floors at any time.

That's why he often played chess with Morritt on the sixteenth floor.

"Haha, you lost again."

Kakic looked at the chessboard and burst into laughter.

Moritz shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I'm not good at this."

Playing chess is, to some extent, a "test" of the soul. Even though he thought his soul was very strong, he was still far inferior to those with three-element soul mutations.

Kakchi smiled and didn't continue. Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation.

Kakic and Morit's expressions changed instantly. The Supreme God!

Having lived in the Divine Tomb for a hundred thousand years, they knew that besides the ruler, there was another chief god here. The Divine Tomb was managed by this chief god.

They didn't know why the main god could appear in the Qingya plane.

It can only be speculated that this divine tomb may not be the Qingya plane, but a minor divine plane created by the main god.

Soon, a giant face formed by the power of the God of Death appeared in the sky.

"Greetings, Lord God."

Kakic and Morritt both knelt down.

They all held this death-related god in awe from the bottom of their hearts. Or rather, they revered any god.

Moreover, this death-related god is clearly related to the ruler, so they naturally have even greater awe for him.

Next to the giant face formed by Ilitana, a ring appeared and floated directly in front of Kakki.

Then, Ilitana's voice rang out, "This is a main artifact for soul defense. Use it by dripping your blood. Go to the ninth level of the Divine Tomb and take Beirut to the eighteenth level."

A Soul Defense Artifact? Beirut?

Kakich and Morit were both somewhat surprised by what Ilitana said.

“After bringing it back to Beirut, this main artifact will be returned.”

After Ilitana finished speaking, the giant face vanished without a trace. There was no further explanation.

As for reclaiming the main artifact for soul defense, without a special reason, He would not arbitrarily violate the agreement between the main gods.

After Ilitana left, Kakic and Morritt looked at each other in bewilderment.

After Beirut reached the level of a high-ranking god, they no longer needed to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, Beirut has now returned to the Qingya plane and entered the God's Tomb.

"I never expected that Beirut would actually enter the Tomb of the Gods."

Kakic remarked with emotion.

It's been tens of thousands of years since I last saw Beirut; time really is worthless.

“Beirut is, after all, a being from the Qingya plane. It’s natural that he would know about the God’s Tomb after returning to the Qingya plane, so it’s normal for him to come in.”

Moritz nodded and said casually.

"However, the fact that the Supreme God asked you to take Beirut to the eighteenth level might mean that the Overlord wants to see Beirut."

Moritz continued.

In his eyes, Beirut was a born lucky one, receiving the attention of the Sovereign from birth. Although the Sovereign never interfered with Beirut's growth, how could Beirut have achieved his current strength and status without the Sovereign's attention?

Perhaps they had already perished when they were lower-level or middle-level gods.

Kakchi nodded, then looked at the ring beside him, "This is a Soul Defense Artifact."

Since his successful soul mutation and the battle at the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains, he believed that no one, except for a Great Perfection High God, could harm him on a soul level. The Supreme God sent him to bring back Beirut wearing a soul-defense artifact—did he think Beirut's soul attacks could harm him?

Could he even be killed?

Aside from that, he couldn't understand why the Supreme God would do such a thing.

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he dared not doubt the words of the Supreme God, for the Supreme God could not be wrong.

Perhaps Beirut is truly different. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caught the attention of the Overlord.

Morritt looked at the main artifact for soul defense, his gaze slightly focused.

It wasn't that he had designs on the main artifact for soul defense, but rather that he was thinking about Beirut's innate divine ability.

He knew Beirut better than Kakchi. Especially about Beirut's innate supernatural abilities; he knew that when Beirut was a lower-level or middle-level god, he could directly strip his opponent of their godhood and kill them.
