"This, alright, City Lord Laurent."
Laurent and the other three returned to their original forms. Shelley produced a spatial ring and handed it to Roy.
"Elder Roy, this is some things Patriarch Gaisleith asked us to bring to Elder Roy. The Patriarch said he hopes these things will help Elder Roy grow faster."
"Once Elder Roy becomes a High-level God, Patriarch Gaisleith invites Elder Roy to the Sky Mountain Range to personally preside over the Elder Succession Ceremony for Elder Roy."
"Then Patriarch Gaisleith will have to wait quite a while. For me to become a High-level God, it will likely take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years."
Currently, Roy still had the Profound Mysteries of Laws for "Power" and the Profound Mysteries of Laws for "Earth Pulse" that he hadn't fully comprehended. With Roy's plan to comprehend the laws while fusing them, even a hundred thousand years would be considered smooth progress for his cultivation.
If he encountered difficult bottlenecks, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be delayed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
As for not being able to break through to High-level God?
Neither the people of the Four Divine Beast Family nor Roy himself had any concerns about this.
If Roy didn't choose the path of fusing laws, he was confident he could fully comprehend these two Profound Mysteries of Laws and become a High-level God within ten thousand years.
However, upon hearing Roy say it would take so long to become a High-level God, Laurent and the other three burst into laughter.
Roy was recommended by Laurent and the others to join the Four Divine Beast Family. His statement clearly indicated that he planned to comprehend the Profound Mysteries of Laws while also fusing them, allowing both paths to advance slowly.
Once Roy made further progress, he would at least be a Seven-star Demon.
A Seven-star Demon was considered a formidable high-level combatant within the Four Divine Beast Family.
Currently, among the Four Divine Beast Family, only the patriarchs of the four families and Grand Elder Gaia possessed Asura-level strength.
Roy was recommended by Laurent and the others to join the Four Divine Beast Family. The stronger Roy became, the more rewards Laurent and the others would receive, so how could they not be happy?
"Don't worry, Roy. Let alone a million years, even ten million or a hundred million years, we can wait."
Shelley's words directly reassured Roy.
It seemed that without yet becoming the number one family, and with the ancestors of the Four Divine Beast Family not yet displaying Sovereign-level combat power, these people of the Four Divine Beast Family had not yet developed that detestable personality.
The current Four Divine Beast Family was worthy of deep friendship.
Roy didn't say anything further at the moment. He accepted the ring from Shelley Hyde and dripped blood on it to establish ownership.
"Then City Lord, and Vice City Lord, I'll be heading back to cultivate now, striving to become a High-level God as soon as possible."
"Yes, go on. We won't keep you."
After bidding farewell to Laurent and the other three, Roy returned to his palace to begin cultivating.
Soon after, a piece of news spread from the City Lord's Mansion: Sanhe City had two new Vice City Lords. One was named Shelley, and the other was the well-known Roy.
...
"With this, I can cultivate peacefully for at least the next hundred thousand years."
As for what would happen after a hundred thousand years?
It wasn't that Roy was arrogant, but if he hadn't reached Seven-star Demon level strength by then, Roy himself would look down on himself.
"Let me first see what Gaisleith gave me for becoming an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family."
After setting up a protective formation in his room, Roy extended his divine sense into the spatial ring Shelley had given him.
"Hiss..."
What Roy saw in his divine sense made him gasp.
"As expected of a family with four Sovereign ancestors, this generosity is magnificent!"
In this spatial ring were over three hundred fist-sized dark golden orbs of light, and ten drops of yellowish water radiating powerful pressure.
Those dark golden orbs were Soul Gold Beads refined from a large amount of soul essence. They could be absorbed directly to strengthen one's soul without needing refinement.
Soul Gold Beads of this size, about the size of a red bean, were priced at over ten thousand Ink Stones and were in high demand.
Those about two to three centimeters in size were priced at over a hundred thousand Ink Stones.
The fist-sized ones in Roy's ring were priced at over ten million Ink Stones, and moreover, there were none for sale.
As for the ten drops of yellowish water, Laurent had given Roy a drop before. It was the Power of the Earth High God.
"Looking at this, after I absorb all these Soul Gold Beads, I might not even need a hundred thousand years to become a High-level God."
"Even the chance of becoming a Paragon has increased by ten percent."
Comprehending laws and fusing laws were closely related to the soul.
A stronger soul led to clearer comprehension of laws, and the speed of comprehending and fusing laws would increase rapidly.
Of course, finding the compatibility points and final fusion points of the Profound Mysteries of Laws required more of a certain "spirituality."
Lacking this "spirituality," one couldn't even find the compatibility points of the Profound Mysteries of Laws, so how could they fuse the Profound Mysteries of Laws?
For the people of this world, "spirituality" was a sudden flash of inspiration, a chance encounter that allowed them to comprehend the compatibility points and fusion points of the Profound Mysteries of Laws. But for Roy, developing the abilities that only existed in fantasy from his previous life in the form of Profound Mysteries of Earth Laws was his inexhaustible "spirituality."
Roy's heart burned with excitement. Without further delay, he began to absorb these Soul Gold Beads.
Thanks to the properties of the Soul Gold Beads, Roy didn't need to refine them; he could directly absorb them to strengthen his soul, allowing him to refine them one by one.
Roy's rapid soul growth significantly enhanced his comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of Laws, as if shattering a dusty pane of glass, allowing the Profound Mysteries of Laws to clearly reveal themselves before him.
In an instant, various insights surfaced in Roy's mind. The bottlenecks he had faced for decades regarding four Profound Mysteries of Laws now felt like a thin membrane, easily pierced.
Without hesitation, the four Profound Mysteries of Laws—"Earth Element," "Gravity Space," "Earth Travel Technique," and "Life Force"—traversed and combined within Roy's soul, finally fitting together seamlessly, smooth as a mirror, exuding a sense of "completion."
At this point, Roy had finally achieved the complete fusion of the four Profound Mysteries of Laws.
The fusion of these four Profound Mysteries of Laws caused his understanding of the "Power" Profound Mysteries of Laws and the "Earth Pulse" Profound Mysteries of Laws to become somewhat blurred.
However, with the continuous reinforcement from the Soul Gold Beads, Roy's soul power rapidly increased, and his comprehension of those two Profound Mysteries of Laws became clear once more.
Yet, until he found the point of synergy between the "Power" Profound Mysteries of Laws and the "Earth Pulse" Profound Mysteries of Laws and the other four Profound Mysteries of Laws, Roy had no intention of continuing to comprehend them.
Still, with his current soul enhancement, this was the moment Roy's comprehension was at its peak. It felt like a massive loss to not comprehend something now.
