Guidance

Even Elder Bru, after witnessing Roy's battle, frankly admitted that he might not be Roy's match.

In the Four Divine Beast Family's future plans, the stronger the elders were, the greater the help they could provide to the family.

"Tia Clan Chief, Chris has very good Water Element talent. I think it would be better for her to undergo bloodline awakening after her Water Element cultivation reaches godhood."

"Otherwise, if she hastily becomes a god during her bloodline awakening, that feeling of completely comprehending one Profound Mystery of Laws in a short time will make her think that comprehending laws is no more difficult than that. When she later tries to comprehend other Profound Mysteries of Laws, the psychological gap will be immense. She may fall into self-doubt and self-denial, ultimately failing to even reach the Mid-level God stage. That would be too regrettable."

"Hm?"

Hearing Roy say this, Tia Nemo actually found it quite reasonable.

Many gods, including the five siblings, had lost confidence in advancing further after going long periods without sensing any progress in their cultivation. In the end, they truly stopped there.

Tia immediately waved a hand and summoned a High-level God. "Leopold, go compile the cultivation levels of our Four Divine Beast Family members who entered the Bloodline Awakening Pool before becoming gods, as well as those who entered after becoming gods. Then bring the information to me."

"Yes, Clan Chief."

After this elder of the Vermillion Bird Clan withdrew, Tia looked at Roy. "Roy, if your speculation is correct, then our Four Divine Beast Family truly owes you a tremendous favor."

The Four Divine Beast Family's unified bloodline awakening took place once every thousand years.

Those with good talent could become gods independently within a thousand years, while those with ordinary talent were still circling around the Saint Domain.

But that did not mean they could never become gods independently.

Chris, for instance, had only become a god after more than a thousand years.

Without Roy's arrangements, Chris could only have awakened her bloodline before reaching godhood and become a Fire Element Demigod.

But as for her ultimate achievements, let alone having two Divine Clones, even whether her Fire Element could independently become a Mid-level God would have been highly questionable.

Of course, the Four Divine Beast Family's members did not lack godheads.

After losing their motivation to cultivate, they would choose to Refine Godhead and become High-level Gods. They could still do quite well for themselves in the outside world.

As Roy and Tia spoke, both sensed the Laws of the World descending not far away.

Before long, Chris, her red hair drifting behind her, entered the hall with an attendant from the Vermillion Bird Clan.

"Great-grandfather Tia, Elder Roy."

"Hahaha, little Chris has grown up."

Chris was the daughter of Tia's twenty-seventh grandson, making her Tia's direct descendant.

Of course, gods had long lives, and familial affection generally only extended three generations. Beyond the third generation, seniority was determined by cultivation.

Naturally, the stronger one was, the less likely they were to have descendants.

Among the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, aside from Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding, who had one son and one daughter, each of the other three Sovereigns had only one son.

Further down the line, Gaisleith's generation also had only one child each. It was only because their children married and started families before becoming gods that more descendants gradually appeared, allowing the Four Divine Beast Family to develop to its present state.

With more grandchildren, feelings grew weaker. By the fourth generation, they were truly just "clan members."

If Roy's talent had not gained the recognition of Tia and the others, and if Chris had not happened to be of a suitable age, Tia would have held little affection for this great-granddaughter of his. He was the sort who could not even remember her name.

But now, Tia could not help sighing at Chris's good fortune.

Tia had no doubt that Roy could reach their level. In fact, if he earned the recognition of their fathers and became a Sovereign's Emissary, then with a Sovereign Artifact, Roy's strength might not be inferior to any of them.

"Chris, from now on, take good care of Elder Roy. Of course, this is also your home. Whenever you have time, you can come here to visit."

As he spoke, a Spatial Ring appeared in Tia's hand. It slowly flew before Chris. "Consider these things my congratulatory gift for your advancement to godhood. I hope that under Elder Roy's guidance, you can go even farther."

"Rest assured, Grandfather. Chris will cultivate diligently and will not disappoint Elder Roy's and Grandfather's painstaking efforts."

"Mm, then that will be all."

"Roy, I need to discuss this with Eldest Brother and the others. If your speculation is correct, we will need to adjust the time when our clan members undergo bloodline awakening, so I will not keep you any longer."

"It is no matter, Tia Clan Chief. Important matters come first."

"We shall take our leave, Tia Clan Chief."

"Mm. Come by whenever you have time."

"You're very happy?"

Roy looked at Chris, who was skipping along, and found himself in a good mood as well.

"Mm, it is all thanks to Lord Roy. My parents have both gained Grandfather Tia's attention. Mother was even exceptionally granted permission to live in the Ancestral Land. Their situation is much better than before."

The Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range was the ancestral land of the Four Divine Beast Family.

After several trillion years of development, members of the Four Divine Beast Family were spread across even the Blood Peak Continent. Aside from the Sovereigns' direct descendants within three generations, only elders with the strength of a Six-star Devil or above were permitted to live in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.

Chris's father was Tia's direct grandson, precisely of the third generation. But Chris's mother was an outsider and not among the direct relatives within three generations.

Of course, this was also because Chris's mother was not her father's wife, but merely one of his concubines in Azure Mansion.

Now, a mother gained status through her daughter. The more highly Chris was regarded by Roy, the more highly her parents would be regarded by Patriarch Tia.

"Then remember this feeling well, Chris."

"This can be considered one of your motivations for cultivation."

"Work hard, Chris."

"Everything you and your parents possess now comes from Tia Clan Chief wanting to befriend me. If one day Tia Clan Chief and I were to fall out, you and your parents would bear Tia Clan Chief's wrath in my place."

"So what you need to do is grow as quickly as possible under my protection."

"Once you possess the strength of a Six-star Devil, or even a Seven-star Demon, the relationship between Tia Clan Chief and me will no longer affect your family."

"How could that be?"

Chris's eyes widened as she stared at Roy in shock.

Her little mind could not understand why Elder Roy would suddenly say such a thing to her.

How could Grandfather Tia possibly fall out with Elder Roy?

"Chris, the road ahead is still long. Anything can happen."

"What we can do is cultivate diligently while our days are still peaceful, so that when a crisis descends someday in the future, we will have the ability to face it, or even resolve it."

Roy's words were not only meant for Chris, but also for himself.

These several trillion years under the Four Divine Beast Family's protection were the best time for him to develop.

As for whether the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods might not die?

That was impossible.

Because the one targeting the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods was not merely the Light Sovereign Augusta, who stood in the open.
