After elementalizing himself, Roy used all the resulting elements as nodes for a magic array, creating a connection channel between his own world and the Magic Universe.
Over twenty yianji cycles, the elements within the world Roy had transformed into corresponded perfectly with the elemental stars and material planes, generating resonance.
At this moment, Roy was incredibly fortunate to have successfully created a magical version of "Star Transformation" at this point. Otherwise, if he had only succeeded in creating and cultivating it after more than a thousand yianji cycles, just this first step of achieving resonance with the entire Magic Universe's material planes would have taken far longer than twenty yianji cycles.
Of course, Roy's current "Nebula Stage" had already completed resonance with all the planes of the Magic Universe, naturally evolving the world's heavenly principles. If new planes were to emerge in the Magic Universe later, corresponding elemental stars would naturally appear within the world Roy had transformed into.
It was even real-time updating.
During these twenty yianji cycles, all the elements Roy had after elementalizing became nodes for the magic array, serving as a bridge connecting Roy's world and the Magic Universe. After countless baptisms of heavenly and earthly energy, their strength naturally increased. As they converged into Roy's divine body, the strength of his divine body also improved.
This was precisely why Roy's divine body already possessed more than five times the strength of a Lord God Artifact. Over these twenty yianji cycles, it had only increased its strength by two times that of a Lord God Artifact.
If Roy's divine body had been further tempered by the remaining blood from the Life Supreme God's tempering of the Supreme Treasure, this upgrade might have been several times greater, reaching at least five times the strength of a Lord God Artifact.
Clearly, the divine bodies of powerful cultivators in the world of cultivation were not weak.
...
"I'm back!"
"Lord Roy, welcome back!"
On Star Island, as Roy's figure tore through space and appeared in the Sovereign's Palace, he murmured. Shelley's voice immediately sounded in his ear.
Roy turned his head and saw Shelley approaching him with a teapot in her hands, a smile on her face, as if Roy had always been there, never having left.
Roy looked at Shelley quietly for a moment, then repeated with a smile, "Yes, Shelley, I'm back!"
Everything seemed unchanged, yet at the same time, everything felt different.
"Shelley, tell me, what major events have happened during this time?"
"Okay."
"The biggest event during this period was the promotion of many new Lord Gods."
"In the Fire Element God Plane, three new Fire Element Lord Gods emerged, named Blazing Sun Lord God, Flowing Mist Lord God, and Purple Vortex Lord God."
"In the Light God Plane, two new Light Element Lord Gods appeared, named Scorching Sun Lord God and Dawn Lord God."
"In the Destiny God Plane, two new Destiny Lord Gods also appeared. One of them even defeated Mu Ya Lord God, who followed Destiny Sovereign Off, and seized Mu Ya Lord God's territory. This caused Mu Ya Lord God to return to the Infernal Realm, occupy a continent there, rename it Muya Continent, and pledge allegiance to Destruction Sovereign Utred."
"In the Water Element God Plane, one new Lord God named Ice Snow appeared."
"In the Wind Element God Plane, a new Lord God named Connecting Clouds emerged."
As Roy listened to Shelley's explanation, he cross-referenced the information with his own knowledge, quickly understanding the current distribution of power.
The most renowned faction was the Netherworld lineage.
Due to an additional portion of willpower, Refining Fire Lord God of the Netherworld had ascended to become the strongest Mid-level Lord God. Skeleton Lord God and Nine Nether Lord God had also become the strongest among the Low-level Lord Gods.
Next was the Heavenly Realm lineage of Destiny Sovereign Off.
Destruction Sovereign Utred's Infernal Realm lineage often had disputes with the Heavenly Realm. Because Zijing, a Mid-level Lord God of the Destruction Element, belonged to the Star Sovereign lineage, and another Destruction-element Mid-level Lord Godhead had been acquired by Roy, the Infernal Realm was at a disadvantage when facing the oppression from the Heavenly Realm lineage.
Life Sovereign's Life God Realm lineage had no conflicts with other Sovereigns, but no other Sovereign factions provoked the Life God Realm lineage either.
After all, except for the Lord God in Netherworld Mountain of the Netherworld, the other five Life Lord Gods were all under Life Sovereign Vivian. Including other Lord Gods who pledged allegiance to Life Sovereign Vivian, the Life God Realm lineage had the most Lord Gods.
Of course, the Lord Gods who pledged allegiance to Life Sovereign were those who disliked conflict. The other Lord Gods would not dare to offend Life Sovereign Vivian by bullying the Lord Gods of her lineage.
As for Roy's Star Sovereign lineage, it remained independent of the Rule Sovereign and Law Sovereign, making it the most mysterious faction of Lord Gods.
It was rumored that to join the Star Sovereign lineage, one had to be a Paragon Lord God.
Looking at the Lord Gods in the Star Sovereign lineage, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were Paragon Lord Gods, and Theresia was also a Paragon Lord God.
Only Zijing Lord God was not a Paragon Lord God.
However, Zijing Lord God's true form was a Purple Crystal Divine Beast, and her two innate divine abilities allowed her combat power among Mid-level Lord Gods to be second only to Refining Fire Lord God, who had an additional portion of willpower.
"Sister Gaia has been back for a long time and seems to have met Lord Roy's requirements."
"Oh?"
Hearing Shelley's words, Roy's heart filled with joy.
"Good!"
"Shelley, go and call Gaia over immediately..."
"No, never mind, I'll do it myself."
As he finished speaking, Roy's right palm suddenly transformed into countless yellow light dots, from which a white radiance bloomed.
Roy had already completed the cultivation of the magical version of "Star Transformation – Nebula Stage" and could naturally transform the world with a thought.
At this moment, Roy was the embodiment of the world.
The elemental stars that formed his divine body were still moving in profound trajectories!
In the terminology of the Magic Universe, Roy was now an unprecedented divine beast, "World," that created worlds. He had simply transformed into his "divine beast form."
At this moment, Roy transformed his right palm into a world, and through his own world, he controlled the power of space!
Yes, this could also be considered a divine beast "World's" innate divine ability!
Using the Sovereign's beast essence of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to utilize spatial power was several times stronger than this.
A white portal of light appeared before Roy. Then, Roy's hand, glowing with yellow light, directly passed through the white spatial portal.
When Roy withdrew his hand from the spatial portal, he was holding a gentle, dignified, and graceful woman.
It was the commander of the Star Sovereign's legion, Gaia!
"Greetings, Lord Roy!"
Gaia's vision suddenly shifted, causing a powerful aura to erupt from her body. Surging profound mysteries of laws swirled around Gaia, as if they would transform into world-destroying floods in the next moment, shattering everything.
However, upon seeing the familiar palace and the person atop it, the aura around Gaia instantly vanished without a trace. She respectfully knelt on one knee before Roy and bowed.
Gaia truly respected Roy from the bottom of her heart.
Especially since, under Lord Roy's guidance, she had successfully re-integrated all the profound mysteries of water element laws she had comprehended.
Only now did she truly grasp Lord Roy's power.
It wasn't like before, where only one technique reached the Asura-level. Instead, her entire being, from the inside out, every action, every movement, was at the pinnacle of the Asura domain.
Currently, Gaia was only one step away from integrating the sixth profound mystery of laws.
"Very good, Gaia, you really did it."
Looking at Gaia, whose aura was smooth and only had slight imperfections, Roy praised her.
Gaia's success proved that Roy had mastered a method that could allow someone to cultivate to the Asura peak.
If one's talent were even stronger, achieving "suspected Paragon" like Gaia, or even true Paragon, wouldn't be impossible.
In terms of time spent, it might not compare to the Netherworld Fruit from the Life Sovereign on Netherworld Mountain in the Infernal Realm, but its potential was much greater than the Netherworld Fruit.
Similarly, Asuras cultivated using Roy's method would absolutely crush Asuras who achieved their power by consuming the Netherworld Fruit.
Of course, the time required for this method was also too long.
Even Gaia spent nearly eighteen cycles to reach this point.
"It's all thanks to Lord Roy. Gaia merely followed Lord Roy's instructions to achieve today's success."
Gaia lowered her head even further.
When she returned from the material plane, she had visited her family.
Her eldest brother, Gaisleith, who was once stronger than her, was now pinned to the ground and thrashed by Gaia without even using a Lord God Artifact.
At that time, the other three clan leaders of the Four Divine Beast Family were stunned.
After Gaia became the Sovereign's Emissary of the Star Sovereign and obtained her second Lord God Artifact, her strength had already surpassed theirs.
However, that was an amplification brought about by two Lord God Artifacts. Now, without using any Lord God Artifacts and suppressing Gaisleith solely with her own strength, they began to doubt if they were hallucinating.
Could it be that Sister Gaia had already reached Paragon?
But that didn't seem right either.
The power Lord Roy displayed at the Azure Mansion back then was far too great compared to their younger sister.
It was precisely because she had witnessed her brothers' strength remain stagnant for countless years that Gaia could better understand the depth of the gratitude she owed to Roy, who had bestowed all of this upon her.
"Alright, Gaia, I promised that once you reached this stage, I would give you an opportunity to attempt Paragon."
After speaking, Roy took out a translucent crystal diamond emitting a blue light from his spatial ring.
Instantly, an immense pressure emanated from the blue crystal diamond in Roy's hand, causing the expressions of Shelley behind Roy and Gaia kneeling before him to change.
Upon seeing this crystal diamond, Gaia's eyes widened.
Anyone with a bit of sense could tell what this item was.
"This, this is a Lord Godhead? And it's a water element Lord Godhead?"
"Correct."
Roy nodded. "The year I became a Lord God, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods of our family were pursued by the Water Sovereign and Augusta, the Light Sovereign.
"I had just become a Lord God at the time, so I entered the spatial turbulence to aid my four elder brothers. This Lord Godhead was obtained after we killed the Water Sovereign."
"Now, I am giving you this Lord Godhead of the Water Sovereign. After refining it, you will become the new Water Sovereign!"
"Of course, most importantly, I hope you can break through the bottleneck of Paragon with the help of the immense power of faith contained within this Lord Godhead."
"Yes, thank you, Fifth Uncle!"
Gaia respectfully bowed to Roy before excitedly accepting the Lord Godhead. She forced a drop of blood from her fingertip and let it fall onto the blue Lord Godhead in her hand.
"Buzz!"
Gaia's blood was instantly absorbed by the Lord Godhead.
Then, the blue-glowing Lord Godhead plunged into Gaia's mind.
At the same time, a massive pressure emanated from Gaia's body, instantly spreading throughout the Star Mist Sea.
"This is, the pressure of a Lord God!"
Under this pressure, everyone within the Star Mist Sea immediately fell to their knees.
"So, there really is a Sovereign in the Star Mist Sea."
Roy had twenty yuerji that weren't on Star Island. Although those Sovereigns knew the Star Sovereign was in the spatial turbulence, why would they proactively tell the gods about it?
At most, they would inform the few gods they were close to, telling them to absolutely avoid going into the Star Mist Sea in the Infernal Realm.
Or, if they did go to the Star Mist Sea, they were told to abide by the rules there and not act excessively.
Otherwise, they would have to pay the price for their actions.
Twenty yuerji were enough for the gods in the Star Mist Sea to be replaced several times over.
After a long period without progress in strength, aside from those who had given up, any gods with a bit of ambition had participated in the Plane Wars several times.
Those with good luck had gained Sovereign Power, or even Lord God Artifacts.
Those with bad luck had simply never returned from the Plane Wars.
Therefore, many people surviving in the Star Mist Sea were half-believing, half-doubting the rumors circulating outside that a Sovereign resided in the Star Mist Sea.
But at this moment, after sensing that overwhelming power, their doubts had been cast to the winds.
One by one, they began to recall internally whether they had done anything irrational in the Star Mist Sea, and whether those actions would anger the Sovereign...
How the people in the Star Mist Sea thought had no bearing on Roy and the others.
At this moment, Roy and Shelley looked expectantly at Gaia, awaiting the moment of her awakening.
After refining the Lord Godhead, the first impact of the massive amount of Power of Faith would be the greatest help in comprehending the Profound Mysteries of Laws for a Sovereign.
If even the initial impact couldn't help you completely merge the last Profound Mystery of Laws to achieve Paragon, then it could be basically confirmed that your achievements in this life would stop there.
No matter how hard you tried in this life, you would never reach Paragon.
Could Gaia break through that barrier under the Power of Faith within this Lord Godhead and become the first Sovereign of Paragon?
