The Four Divine Beast Family is the continuation of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' bloodline, the inheritance of their will.
What is Roy's inheritance?
The Star Sovereign Legion is merely a military force established by Roy to manage the Star Mist Sea and participate in the Plane War. Although they are Roy's direct subordinates, they are not his inheritance.
Once Roy is gone, if a new Lord God appears in the Star Mist Sea, they will be the Lord God's legion for the next Lord God.
Shelley?
Although Shelley has been with Roy the longest, her strongest Divine Clone was killed by the bandit Douglas. Her current true form has refined its Godhead and recovered to Six-star Devil strength.
Her Wind Element Divine Clone, originally a Five-star Devil, was bestowed the Netherworld Fruit by the Death Sovereign. It has now fused with seven Profound Mysteries of Laws of the Wind Element and become an Asura-level powerhouse.
In the future, at most, after Breler finishes analyzing the "Nebula Formation," Shelley's divine body can be elevated to a level close to a Lord God Artifact.
But, this is Shelley's limit.
Neither Roy's ideology nor his cultivation methods are suitable for Shelley.
Only Tina, like a blank canvas, can be painted by Roy, allowing Tina to inherit his legacy.
Roy even wants to let Tina try to see if she can break through to a new realm beyond Paragon.
Unfortunately, Tina is not of the White Tiger Clan nor the Black Tortoise Clan. Her innate divine ability is not spatial.
Otherwise, Roy wants to try whether the members of the White Tiger Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan, after reaching Paragon, can condense their laws into space and control spatial power through their innate divine abilities.
Roy had discussed this with the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
But the result was not ideal. Although the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had reached Paragon, their cultivation mindset had become rigid, and they were unable to complete Roy's hypothesis.
This was also the first time Roy discovered that without constructing sufficient foundational cultivation thinking, one would truly reach a dead end after a certain level.
This is true even for Lord Gods.
After all, Lord Gods are only superior to Gods by possessing the Willpower within their Lord Godhead.
In terms of comprehending and using Profound Mysteries of Laws, even with the aid of immense amounts of Power of Faith, they cannot compare to some Gods who specialize in Profound Mysteries of Laws.
This is a gap that even Willpower cannot bridge.
Furthermore, the Lord Gods only treated Willpower as a means of combat and did not delve into the essence of Willpower.
Even Destiny Sovereign Off is no exception.
Of course, this is also because no one guided him.
Off's cultivation logic is research.
Anything that can be researched, he will find ways to research it and turn it into his combat power.
Such people only fear a lack of direction or choosing the wrong direction. Otherwise, they will gradually approach and complete their goals.
With Tina having new toys, her comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of Earthly Laws naturally fell behind.
But Roy did not blame Tina.
Everything Tina is doing now is laying the groundwork for her future path.
Is analyzing the essence of mental power not also a form of cultivation for mental power?
When mental power becomes strong, the comprehension of Profound Mysteries of Laws will also increase.
This is the strength of one's foundation!
...
"To achieve victory in every battle, one must know oneself and know the enemy."
"Knowing the enemy, we can judge by observing their element, comprehended laws, weapons used, combat habits, and so on."
"Knowing oneself means having absolute control over oneself."
On the Metal Life, Roy flicked his index finger, deflecting Tina's attack.
"Combat, in essence, is about hitting the enemy's weakest defense with your strongest attack."
"For example, what kind of destruction can my strongest attack cause? If it's defended by the enemy, can it repel them, or will it not even break through their defense?"
"How far can I run in an instant with my speed? How many attacks can I make? What is the intensity of my attacks?"
"What intensity of attacks can my defense withstand? What methods can be used to improve my own defense?"
While fending off Tina's attacks, Roy's Spiritual Sense continuously imparted his combat philosophy to Tina.
"When your speed is faster than the enemy's, suppress them with speed; you can advance to attack and retreat to escape."
"If your defense can withstand the enemy's maximum attack, you can take their attack head-on. When the attack lands, seize the opponent's opening and strike directly."
"If your attack can break through the enemy's defense, then attack directly and kill the opponent with one blow!"
"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you have one aspect that surpasses the enemy."
Casually deflecting Tina's fists, he poked forward with his index finger, causing Tina to let out a startled cry and fly backward.
"What do you do if your speed is inferior to the enemy's, your defense cannot withstand the enemy's attack, and your attack cannot break through the enemy's attack?"
"This..."
Tina rubbed her forehead, but her mind was already working on a solution.
What Master Roy had said was precisely the biggest challenge she was currently facing.
Although Master Roy hadn't used power or speed exceeding the Saint Realm, his efficiency in using strength was far superior to hers.
She couldn't match his speed, nor his attacks, and her defense couldn't withstand his assaults. How could she possibly win?
Seeing Tina lost in thought, Roy continued, "During this time, you've been studying mental power. You should have discovered that powerful mental power greatly helps you control your own body."
"Furthermore, projecting your mental power outwards will give you some understanding of your surroundings and your enemy's actions."
Following Roy's words, Tina attempted to use her mental power to assist her in battle.
Indeed, not only had her control over her divine body improved, but her projected mental power also allowed her to vaguely sense Master Roy's movements.
Now, he's about to raise his hand and attack my head!
With this premonition, Tina lurched backward violently as she charged forward. Roy's index finger grazed her nose tip.
"I dodged it!"
Tina rejoiced internally.
"Good. If your speed can't match the enemy's, then predict their actions and evade their attack points in advance."
"However..."
Snap!
Roy snapped his fingers, his index finger and thumb coming together.
Instantly, Tina felt her projected mental power hit like a sledgehammer, shattering into pieces.
"Ahhh..."
For a moment, a tearing pain in her head made Tina curl up on the ground, clutching her head.
"You've tasted it now, haven't you? Projecting your mental power outwards means others can also attack your projected mental power."
"When another person's mental power is stronger than yours, they will shred yours, causing you severe mental trauma."
"Therefore, if you want to use projected mental power to aid your combat, there are two prerequisites."
"First, the enemy's mental power is not as strong as yours."
"Second, your mental power is extremely concealed, making it impossible for the enemy to find traces of it to attack, even if they wanted to."
After speaking, Roy crouched down and continued to speak to Tina with a smile.
"Of course, in the battles of Gods, some specialize in mental power attacks, what Gods often call soul attacks. Their material attacks might not be that powerful, but their soul attacks are extremely bizarre or insidious. When you encounter such individuals, your projected mental power will merely tell them you are a conspicuous target."
Roy's previous action was merely to demonstrate the drawbacks of projecting her mental power like that. He hadn't used much force, so Tina recovered after only a few seconds of pain.
"Hmph!"
Tina, still holding her head, looked at her teacher's smile and snorted, turning her face away.
So infuriating!
Teacher Roy always taught her some inexplicable things, only to devalue her achievements once she made progress.
"Alright, today's combat training ends here."
"Tina, do you want to train your body or comprehend the Profound Mysteries of Laws now?"
"I want to comprehend the Profound Mysteries of Laws."
"Very good."
"Then hurry up and go. If you encounter anything you don't understand, think about it yourself first, and then come ask me."
...
The Star Mist Sea was a pale purple sea, surrounded by the five continents of the Infernal Realm at its center.
Traveling from the Blood Peak Continent to the Star Mist Sea only required passing through Azure Mansion and Sky Mountain Mansion to reach the border between the Blood Peak Continent and the Star Mist Sea.
After leaving Azure Mansion, the city itself was fine, but outside the city, it had become a paradise for bandits.
Tribes were frequently attacked by bandits, who plundered their populations and resources.
Every few hundred or thousand years, the Demon Castles within the cities would issue several missions to clear out bandits.
Some were successful, and some failed.
If the bandit clearing was successful, the surrounding area would be peaceful for a hundred years or so, until the next group of bandits arrived to take over.
If the bandit clearing failed, the bandits' reputation would grow, attracting more people to join them, allowing them to plunder more populations and resources.
At this time, over a hundred years had passed since Roy and the other two left the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.
During these past hundred years, Tina had grown from a young girl into a graceful young lady.
In terms of cultivation, Tina had fully comprehended the "Life Force" Profound Mystery of the Earthly Laws a few years ago, successfully advancing to the Demigod realm.
As for the other five Profound Mysteries of Laws, Tina had also achieved an initial understanding of all of them and had begun cultivating the fusion of Profound Mysteries of Laws.
Upon reaching the God level, Tina could also refine and use the Lord God Artifact bestowed by Nimo Lord God, greatly enhancing her safety.
Over the past century, Roy was very satisfied with Tina's growth under his guidance.
Now, it was their first assessment of Tina – becoming a demon!
Compared to Roy and Shelley, Tina was even more excited!
From birth, she had grown up under the care of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and hadn't experienced much of the outside world.
After turning ten, she followed her master to train. Even when they encountered cities, they only stayed for a few days to play.
She had only heard about many things from her master and Sister Shelley, never experiencing them herself.
As soon as she learned she would participate in the demon assessment in the next city, Tina had been excited for several years, constantly urging Shelley to fly faster.
"Shelley, this metal life's speed, why do I feel it's not as fast as me flying?"
On the metal life, Tina occasionally walked back and forth beside Shelley.
"My little aunt, you've asked me that question over three thousand times."
Shelley glanced at Tina helplessly. For the first hundred years, this little aunt had been quite adorable, but how had she become so exasperating in the last few years?
