Task

After settling these matters, Laurent, Fred, and Quiller returned to discuss their respective spheres of influence, while Roy went back to his own palace to begin secluded cultivation.

As for the city's construction, with six Mid-level Gods and more than a dozen Low-level Gods keeping watch, those Saint Domains did not dare slack off.

As Sanhe City's "fourth" strongest expert, Roy had this much privilege.

No one came to disturb Roy.

This gave Roy more time to plan his cultivation.

At present, Roy had comprehended the two Profound Mysteries of Laws, "Earth Element" and "Gravity Space," and had developed a series of techniques by combining them.

Now, Roy's weaknesses were Soul Attack and Soul Defense.

Among the Earthly Laws, the only Profound Mystery of Laws related to the soul was "Life Force."

Thus, Roy currently devoted all his energy to comprehending the Profound Mystery of Laws of "Life Force."

Of course, while comprehending the Profound Mystery of Laws of "Life Force," Roy also tried to fuse "Life Force" with the two Profound Mysteries of Laws, "Earth Element" and "Gravity Space."

Roy had comprehended the Profound Mystery of Laws of "Life Force" on the foundation of the Profound Mystery of Laws of "Earth Element," so his "Life Force" and "Earth Element" Profound Mysteries of Laws were compatible. Fusing them was not too difficult.

However, Roy could not find any point of compatibility between the "Life Force" and "Gravity Space" Profound Mysteries of Laws.

At present, it seemed that Roy would still need a long time before becoming a Mid-level God who had fused three Profound Mysteries of Laws.

Time passed amid Roy's secluded cultivation.

One day, Alva knocked on Roy's door, breaking his life of secluded cultivation.

"What is it, Alva?"

"Roy, Lord Laurent is looking for you."

"Oh, then let's go."

Roy and Alva chatted and laughed as they headed toward the City Lord's Manor. Along the way, Roy noticed that after this period of construction, some of Sanhe City's basic infrastructure had already been completed. Many unfamiliar God-level experts had also appeared in the city, and there were even God-level troops patrolling the streets.

The aura of every one of these soldiers was no weaker than Alva's beside him.

The Sovereign Legion!

Only the Sovereign Legion could possess so many God-level experts.

Moreover, not just anyone could join the Sovereign Legion.

The minimum requirement for enlisting in the Sovereign Legion was to be a Mid-level God.

Among them, only High-level Gods could serve as Squad Leaders. Only experts at the level of Four-star Devils could serve as Company Commanders. Five-star Devils could serve as Battalion Commanders, Six-star Devils could serve as Deputy Legion Commanders, and only Seven-star Demons could command an army.

Above them were the Commanders who led the Sovereign Legion. Every Commander was a Super Expert among the Asura Prefects.

Sanhe City was merely a small town, and only one battalion was stationed here.

However, although there was only one Battalion Commander at the Five-star Devil level, he had five Company Commanders at the Four-star Devil level, twenty-five Squad Leaders at the Three-star Devil level, and over three hundred Mid-level God soldiers under his command.

If Sanhe City had not possessed three Five-star Devil-level City Lords and Deputy City Lords, it truly would have lacked confidence when facing the Sovereign Legion.

But now, Sanhe City held the advantage in top-tier Combat Power, so the Sovereign Legion's Battalion Commander did not dare go too far in certain matters.

"Hahaha, Roy, you're here."

After entering the City Lord's Manor, Roy discovered that City Lord Laurent, Deputy City Lord Fred, and Deputy City Lord Quiller were all there.

"City Lord, Deputy City Lords."

After bowing to the three of them, Roy asked, "My lords, may I ask why you summoned me? Is there something you wish to instruct me to do?"

"Yes, indeed."

Laurent nodded. "Roy, there truly is something we need you to do."

"It's like this."

"Roy, Sanhe City has only just been established. There are not enough residents within the city, so we need to recruit people from outside."

"Lord God, in His mercy, has granted us a Planar Teleportation Array leading to Crimson Flame Prefecture, allowing us to recruit those who enter the Hell Plane from the Material Planes."

"The three of us need to guard Sanhe City. The others are somewhat lacking in strength, and if we send them to recruit people, we fear they may be robbed along the way. At present, only you have the ability to do this."

"Are you willing to go to Crimson Flame Prefecture and bring back some population for Sanhe City?"

Roy considered the task for a moment, then nodded.

"Lord Laurent, I have no problem going, but as you know, I have not been a god for long, and I do not have a Metal Life..."

"Sending you to recruit people at the risk of danger is already asking too much. If we even need you to provide the Metal Life, then we City Lords have truly failed."

As he spoke, a black Metal Life airship appeared in Laurent's hand, and he handed it to Roy.

"Roy, outside Sanhe City is nothing like within it. If you encounter danger, preserving your life comes first."

"Mm, I understand."

"Then, my lords, Roy will take his leave first."

After leaving the City Lord's Manor, Roy found Alva and bid him farewell. Then he flew away from Sanhe City.

"Wow..."

Flying freely through the sky, temporarily away from Sanhe City, Roy felt a sense of ease and freedom unlike anything he had experienced since transmigrating.

Only after flying wildly and uninhibitedly for several hours did Roy settle his mind.

"It seems my cultivation plan needs to be revised."

Hell was vast. Apart from the Tribes where humans gathered, there were even more forests and forbidden lands. These places were home to many extremely dangerous divine beasts, and when ordinary gods encountered them, their survival was uncertain.

"Outside is far more dangerous than within Tribes and cities. Compared to the Profound Mystery of Laws of 'Life Force,' I should comprehend the Profound Mystery of Laws of 'Earth Travel Technique' first, so I can better preserve my life."

"Then it's decided. I'll travel using Earth Travel Technique..."

"While comprehending Earth Travel Technique, I'll search for a point of compatibility between Earth Travel Technique and Gravity Space..."

With that thought, Roy suddenly transformed into a swirl of sand and dust, speeding forward.

From Sanhe City to the Planar Teleportation Array within Crimson Flame Prefecture's territory, even riding the fastest Metal Life would take more than three hundred years. For someone like Roy, flying there himself would take at least a thousand years.

However, Laurent and the others had only said that he needed to return within ten thousand years, so Roy was in no hurry.

Whenever he felt like traveling, he would use Earth Travel Technique while comprehending Profound Mysteries of Laws. Whenever he did not feel like traveling, he would casually find a place, burrow underground, and sleep, while also comprehending several other Profound Mysteries of Laws.

The freedom in his heart greatly improved Roy's comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of Laws.

In the three hundred and eightieth year after leaving Sanhe City, Roy's Earth Travel Technique finally reached completion, becoming the third Profound Mystery of Laws he had fully comprehended.

Not only that, Roy had also found a point of compatibility between his "Life Force" Profound Mystery of Laws and the "Gravity Space" Profound Mystery.
