Vermilion Bird, White Tiger

Andres was unaware of the Divine Sense communication between Riding and Bowen. Upon hearing Riding's invitation, he immediately accepted.

He was originally going to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. Among the Four Divine Beasts, he had not yet seen the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird. Going with Redding Bowen would be the perfect opportunity.

"In that case, let's set off." Riding said, taking out Blue Dragon-shaped Metal Life from his Space Ring.

Andres and Dup's expressions changed simultaneously upon seeing the Metal Life.

"How could Riding have Metal Life?"

The same question arose in their minds: they remembered that Claude had said that he had invented Metal Life.

They traveled all the way from Iron Saber Gorge to Firebird City, but had not yet encountered anyone with Metal Life.

Riding and Bowen saw Andres's expression, but misunderstood.

Bowen laughed and said, "This thing is called Metal Life. You've never seen one before, have you? It was made by that bastard Montra. It's very expensive, but it's really convenient for traveling."

"Montra?"

Andres had a sudden thought, remembering Claude's enemy, Montra.

Bowen's face turned resentful when he mentioned Montra: "Montra is a powerful figure in the Sea of Stars Mist, with a vast sphere of influence that has extended to the Blood Peak Continent."

"Forget about him, let's get going." Riding waved his hand.

The group entered the Metal Life and then flew rapidly westward.

In Firebird City, the Highgod of the Takke Family watched Andres and his companions leave from afar without intervening. After Takke was killed, they dared not make a move again.

With Andres and his companions gone, the Highgod breathed a sigh of relief, and then Firebird City descended into a power struggle.

After Takke's death, his family was no longer able to maintain the status quo, and their power began to disintegrate.

But all of this has nothing to do with Andres anymore.

The four people, aboard Metal Life, flew westward.

Firebird City is located in the central part of the Blood Peak Continent, billions of miles away from the Skyrite Mountains in the western part of the Blood Peak Continent.

More than twenty years later, they finally entered the territory of Youlan Prefecture.

"Brother Andres, we're almost at the Skyrite Mountains."

In Metal Life, Andres is enjoying a meal with Riding.

Over the years, although Andres spent most of his time cultivating, he would also chat and exchange ideas with Reading Bowen.

The conversation revolved around cultivation experiences and the conditions in Hell.

The Hell we know today is still in the era of pioneering.

Even beings like the Four Divine Beasts only know about the Sea of Stars Mist and half of the Blood Peak Continent; they only have a superficial understanding of places further away.

The Four Divine Beasts are a well-known group in the western part of the Blood Peak Continent, especially in recent years, as Bowen has challenged many powerful Highgod, making their reputation even more prominent.

However, in the western part of the Blood Peak Continent, the most famous is still Montra.

Montra and Xing Yi are known as the two strongest beings in the Sea of Stars Mist. Xing Yi is located in the west of the Sea of Stars Mist, while Montra occupies the east.

However, Montra was not content with half of Sea of Stars Mist; his influence was also extending to the Blood Peak Continent.

The western part of the Blood Peak Continent is adjacent to the Sea of Stars Mist, so it is naturally the most affected. The Skyrite Mountains is located in the western part of the Blood Peak Continent. The Four Divine Beasts and Montra have also crossed paths, but the process was not pleasant.

According to Riding, Montra's true form is also a divine beast, cultivating the Destruction Rule, and its strength far surpasses theirs. The Skyrite Mountains of the Four Divine Beasts was also forced to join Montra's ranks.

Andres ate his food while looking out the window at the scenery.

After entering the western part of the Blood Peak Continent, he occasionally encountered some Metal Life.

He learned from Riding and Bowen that these Metal Life all came from Montra.

Montra began selling Metal Life many years ago. Although the price was very high, many powerful Highgod were still willing to buy them.

Metal Life are the result of Claude's research, but Montra is selling them, which immediately reminds Andres of the grudge between them.

Through the God Clone Dup left in Iron Saber Gorge, Andres confirmed their relationship with Claude.

Claude was once a powerful Highgod under Montra. After he researched and developed Metal Life, Montra forcibly took away the method for creating them.

He was extremely dissatisfied with this, but because he was wary of Montra's power, he could only pretend to be nonchalant on the surface, and then find an opportunity to leave Montra's sphere of influence.

As the Metal Life flew along, Andres soon saw towering mountains that seemed to pierce the sky, each one incredibly tall.

This is the Skyrite Mountains.

The most prominent feature of the Skyrite Mountains in the original story is the carving of the Four Divine Beasts.

The Four Divine Beasts Family carved the likenesses of their four ancestors onto the mountain range. Each carving is tens of thousands of miles long. The castles, mansions, and other buildings where the Four Divine Beasts Family members lived were also part of these carvings, forming a perfect whole.

However, Andres could not see the magnificent scene at this time; the Four Divine Beasts were far from having such a grand scale.

The Metal Life flew to one of the mountain peaks, where a magnificent castle stood atop it.

The Metal Life flew directly into the castle. Andres looked down and could see that there were many guards in the castle, ranging from Highgod to Middle God.

Some of them are clearly not members of the Four Divine Beasts Family, but rather of other races, just by looking at them.

In the original story, the Four Divine Beasts Family had numerous members, including hundreds of powerful individuals at the Seven-star Demon level, and millions of ordinary clan members. Within the Skyrite Mountains, it was almost impossible to see anyone outside the Four Divine Beasts Family.

But that's the result of countless years of accumulation.

The more powerful a divine beast is, the lower its birth rate. In this era, the Four Divine Beasts Family certainly don't have that many people. Like Hamid and others, Riding and his group recruited many God-level expert from the surrounding areas to bolster the power of the Skyrite Mountains.

Metal Life landed in a courtyard, and the portal opened.

"Brother Andres, we've arrived. This is the Skyrite Mountains. Come, let me introduce you to our other two brothers and sisters."

Riding greeted Andres warmly.

They left the Metal Life, where two people were already waiting.

One was a cold and aloof woman dressed in a red robe. She was tall, with slightly furrowed brows, tightly pursed lips, and a slightly raised chin, giving her an air of arrogance and aloofness.

Standing next to the woman was a man with short white hair. The man was nearly two meters tall, with a well-proportioned body and smooth, natural muscle lines, exuding explosive power.

"Brother Andres, let me introduce you. This is my second sister, Nimo, and this is my third brother Lius."

"Second sister, third brother, these are the Andres brothers, good friends my Fourth Brother and I met on this trip," Riding said.

"Nimo, Lius," Andres greeted the two with a smile.

Vermilion Bird "Nimo" simply nodded indifferently.

The white tiger "Lius" smiled honestly, "Andres, dear, my eldest brother and fourth brother treat you as a friend, so I will treat you as a friend too."

Andres looked at Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, the system in his mind was activated.

"Target: Nimo."

"Talent: Highgod of Fire Elemental Law (Seven-star Demon), Innate Divine Ability 'Nirvana', Main Godhead Level Body."

"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desires): None."

"Completion conditions: None."

"Completion Rewards: Highgod of Fire Elemental Law (Seven-star Demon), Innate Divine Ability 'Nirvana', and Main Godhead Level Body."

"Target: Lius."

"Talent: Highgod of Wind Elemental Law (Seven-star Demon), Innate Divine Ability 'Tiger Roar', Main Godhead Level Body".

"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desires): None."

"Completion conditions: None."

"Completion Rewards: High-level Wind Elemental Law Highgod (Seven-star Demon), Innate Divine Ability 'Tiger Roar', and a choice of one Main Godhead Level Body."

Andres was somewhat disappointed upon seeing the system information for Nimo and Lius.

Neither of them had any Binding Quest, indicating that neither of them currently possessed an inner desire that matched their talents.

"It seems the only option is to find a way to complete the Azure Dragon's Binding Quest," Andres sighed inwardly.

He had no clue how to create the Dragon Transformation Crystal. He originally planned to complete the Binding Quest between the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger first, especially the White Tiger's, as he was very curious about this innate Innate Divine Ability that was even more powerful than "God Devouring".

But it seems that the problem of the Dragon Transformation Crystal still needs to be solved.

"Brother Andres, I've had a banquet prepared to welcome you. Let's go!"

Riding put his arm around Andres's shoulder, and they walked together out of the courtyard.

Unable to refuse his earnest invitation, Andres had no choice but to follow him.

"Fourth Brother, isn't this kid just a Middle God? Why does eldest brother value him so much?"

Nimo transmitted his Divine Sense to Bowen as he walked.

Bowen transmitted his voice, "Second sister, this kid is no ordinary Middle God. Thanks to him, I was able to defeat Takke of Firebird City. Did you know that the Law Profundity can be fused?"

Bowen explained the Profound Mystery fusion to Nimo and Lius in detail.

Both of them were greatly shocked after hearing this.

"I never imagined that the Profound Mystery could be fused together."

Nimo's gaze towards Andres changed slightly, losing some of its previous arrogance. "Who is this Andres? How does he know about something like this?"

"He's not much of a figure. He has a small power in the eastern part of the Blood Peak Continent, with only a few Highgod under his command. My brother is planning to recruit him," Bowen said.

During their more than twenty years of traveling together, they naturally asked Andres about his background. Andres didn't hide anything except for the more important things like the Plane Teleportation Array, the Dylan Plane, and Claude.

Andres' current identity is the leader of a small faction living in Iron Saber Gorge.

The group entered a grand hall, where fine wine and dishes had already been prepared.

"Come, Andres brothers!"

Riding pulled Andres to sit down in the seat.

At this time, there were not many people who could attend the banquet together; apart from the Four Divine Beasts, only their families were present.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise all have wives, and more than one, but only the Azure Dragon "Riding" has offspring.

Riding's son, "Gaisreisen," sat in the lowest seat. At this time, Gaisreisen was not yet the leader of the Four Divine Beasts Family in the original story. He was still a young man with a somewhat sullen expression.

Andres discovered that Gaisreisen was currently only at the Saint Domain.

"Target: Gaisreisen."

"Talent: Middle God of Water Law"

"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desire): Become a god."

"Completion condition: Help Gaisreisen Independent godhood."

"Completion Reward: Middle God Water Law"

Andres saw the system information of Gaisreisen in his mind.

Without awakening the Azure Dragon Bloodline, Gaisreisen's talent was only at the Middle God level, and he had no Innate Divine Ability.

"Without awakening the Azure Dragon Bloodline, it would take Gaisreisen an unknown amount of time to Independent godhood," Andres remarked.

In the original story, Beirut's three sons did not awaken their bloodline and only became Middle God after millions of years.

Seeing that Gaisreisen looked depressed, he knew that Gaisreisen himself was obviously worried about his cultivation speed.

After everyone was seated, the banquet officially began.

"Brother Andres, everyone here is family, all of us four siblings. You don't need to be shy," Riding said warmly.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you all!"

As they ate and chatted, after a few rounds of drinks, Riding finally voiced his thoughts. "Brother Andres, what do you think of our Skyrite Mountains? Would you like to stay and join us?"

The other members of the Four Divine Beasts Family stopped what they were doing and looked at Andres.

Andres smiled slightly, "Alright, I was just thinking of cooperating with you guys, Brother Riding."

He doesn't know how to create Dragon Transformation Crystal yet, so he's thinking of staying in the Skyrite Mountains to have more contact with Riding and Gaisreisen, which might be helpful, since he doesn't have any other targets to bind to at the moment.

"Cooperation?" Riding's smile froze, and the other three of the Four Divine Beasts also changed their expressions slightly.

Their intention was not cooperation, but to subjugate Andres to them.

"Brother, what's up with this Andres? Cooperation? Does he think he can be on equal footing with us?" Vermilion Bird asked Riding telepathically, dissatisfied.

"Second sister, Andres has fused five wind- Profound Mysteries, so it's normal for him to be a bit arrogant. How about this, I'll fight him, subdue him, and make him Supreme God's Oath!" Bowen said.

"Fourth Brother, don't be reckless! This Andres has a mysterious background. Although he is only Middle God, he started Fusion Profound Mysteries mysteries a long time ago. He might still have some trump cards. If we break ties with him, it's fine if we win, but if he escapes, we will have made a great enemy. There are many Hell Experts, such as Xing Yi, Montra, and the master of Lake Punis... We should not underestimate anyone. It's better to be cautious and wait until the four of us siblings have fused more profound Profound Mystery before we talk about it."

"Brother, what do you think we should do now?" Nimo transmitted his voice.

"Don't be impatient. As long as he's in the Skyrite Mountains, he'll gradually realize the extraordinary nature of us Four Divine Beasts. At that time, he'll naturally submit to us. Even if we really have to take action, we'll be more confident if we wait until we've integrated several more Profound Mystery before we make our move," Riding transmitted his voice.

The four of them were led by Riding. After Riding said that, Nimo, even if he still had objections, said nothing more.

The Four Divine Beasts quickly ended their Divine Sense communication.
