Gathering at the Sea of Stars Mist
"A test?" Andres didn't understand what the other person was talking about.
Fris explained, "As you probably already know, there are seven Teleportation Array like Iron Saber Gorge in Hell. Xing Yi sent me to each Teleportation Array to inform the controllers of the Teleportation Array to come to the Sea of Stars Mist to discuss important matters."
"However, not everyone is qualified to accept Lord Xing Yi's invitation. Only those strong enough to withstand my attack can be invited."
Fris's attitude toward Andres became somewhat respectful.
Firstly, Andres had easily blocked his attack, and secondly, he couldn't figure out Andres's background.
"No matter how you look at it, his soul aura is only that of Middle God. If Andres is Highgod, then his research on the soul must be extremely terrifying. If he is really just Middle God, then he must have fused many kinds of Law Profundity. In either case, he is not to be trifled with. Xing Yi is right. Hell is too vast and there are countless powerful beings. We cannot be careless," Fris thought to himself.
Andres, of course, had no idea what Fris was thinking. Only after hearing Fris's explanation did he understand what the test Fris was referring to.
"What if I hadn't been able to stop it?" Andres asked.
"Then it's natural to fall. A weakling who can't even withstand my attack has no right to control the Teleportation Array," Fris with a faint smile.
Andres hadn't expected the other party to be so nosy, even trying to interfere with the situation of other Teleportation Array. However, since it wasn't his business, Andres didn't bother to get involved.
"What is Xing Yi's purpose in inviting you?" Andres then asked.
"I don't know about that. You will know when you arrive at the Teleportation Array in the Sea of Stars Mist in three days. I have to go to other Teleportation Array, so I won't stay any longer. Please activate the Teleportation Array and send me away."
After Fris finished speaking, he bowed.
Andres nodded to the Middle God soldier next to the Teleportation Array, and the Middle God understood and began to activate the Teleportation Array.
In a hazy glow, Fris's figure disappeared into the Teleportation Array.
"Andres, are you going to that Sea of Stars Mist?" Lulutia asked, her face showing some worry.
"Go." Andres nodded.
Given Fris's testing methods, those who can go to the Sea of Stars Mist this time must be at least Six-star Demon level powerhouses.
As time goes by, the Teleportation Array will inevitably fall into the hands of a powerful individual. He wants to take this opportunity to see which powerful individuals have emerged in Hell today, and whether any of them possess talents worth binding with.
"If I could see Uthered, that would be wonderful," Andres thought to himself.
He sent three men, including Holan, to the Sea of Chaos, but they still hadn't received any news about Uthered. He gradually realized that relying solely on Holan and his two companions to gather information was not very efficient, and he needed to try some other methods.
"But Xing Yi has some unknown purpose. Isn't it too risky for you to go to his territory like this?" Lulutia was still worried.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I can at least protect myself," Andres said with a smile.
Xing Yi and Montra have been locked in a stalemate for many years, and their strengths are not too far apart. Xing Yi is at most slightly stronger than Montra, and about the same as Orenth.
With his Innate Divine Ability such as "Spatial Confinement," Andres is confident he can handle the situation.
Having been in Hell for over a thousand years and experienced numerous battles with powerful beings, Andres is fairly certain that this era is not far removed from the birth of Hell. Otherwise, a top-tier Seven-star Demon like Orenth would not have become the strongest being on the Blood Peak Continent.
The Four Divine Beasts and Xing Yi, these powerful beings who obtained the Sovereign Spark in the original work, are still in the growth stage and have not yet reached the limit of their potential.
"With my current strength, I should be one of the strongest in Hell right now," Andres thought to himself.
Fris said the time would be three days later, and Andres was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he first informed Cilia, Yasen, and the others about it.
Like Lulutia, they didn't want Andres to go, but Andres had already made up his mind, so they had no choice but to accept it.
Three days later, Andres, along with his Wind Element God Clone and Water God Clone, entered the Teleportation Array.
He cannot teleport directly between the seven Teleportation Array in Hell. He needs to go to a Material Plane first, and then use the Teleportation Array in the Material Plane to get to Hell, until he is randomly teleported to the Sea of Stars Mist.
"Let's go back to Dylan Plane."
Amidst the dreamlike glow of the Teleportation Array, Andres left Iron Saber Gorge and returned to the Dylan Plane.
"Grown ups!"
Beside the Teleportation Array in the Dylan Plane, two Highgod from Iron Saber Gorge were on duty. When they saw Andres, they were startled and quickly bowed.
Andres nodded, but instead of stepping out of the Teleportation Array, he instructed them to activate Teleportation Array and head directly to Hell.
He had nothing to do in Dylan Plane.
He has been away from the Dylan Plane for over a thousand years, and those who were close to him back then, such as Alex and Aniya, have all passed away.
Although the Mitchell Family still exists and is extremely prosperous, Andres has never met any of the younger generations, let alone had any feelings for them, and is too lazy to visit them.
The Teleportation Array lit up, Andres's figure disappeared into it, heading towards Hell.
He wasn't very lucky; instead of reaching the Sea of Stars Mist Teleportation Array directly, he ended up at Mirror Moon Cliff, the Teleportation Array of the Purple Thorn Continent.
"Um?"
As soon as Andres appeared in the Teleportation Array, he saw two women standing outside Teleportation Array.
A woman wearing a loose, light purple robe had eyes with a captivating and stunning charm.
Behind this woman stood a tall woman who was nearly three meters tall, with strong muscles, like a man, only her facial features were relatively soft.
Besides the two women, there were also many soldiers wearing purple armor around the Teleportation Array. Most of them were Middle God, and some were Highgod.
Andres looked at the woman in the light purple robe, and information about her appeared in his mind.
"Target: Zijing."
"Talent: Highgod of Destruction Rule (Asura), Innate Divine Ability 'Purple Crystal Barrier'."
"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desires): None."
"Completion conditions: None."
"Completion Reward: Destruction Rule Highgod (Asura), or choose one of the following Innate Divine Ability: 'Purple Crystal Barrier'."
"Zijing?" Andres's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't this the Zijing Sovereign from the original work?
"The Purple Crystal Mountain Range where the Zijing Sovereign resides is quite a distance from Mirror Moon Cliff. Her appearance here must mean she heard about the Teleportation Array and rushed over from the Purple Crystal Mountain Range to seize the Mirror Moon Cliff Teleportation Array," Andres thought to himself.
Andres was not at all surprised that Zijing was able to take Mirror Moon Cliff.
The true form of the Zijing Sovereign is Purple Crystal Giant Beast born from the Purple Crystal Mountain Range. Its physical defense is not bad, its soul is even more powerful, and it also has a "Soul Stone" that it has nurtured itself. In addition, it has the innate ability "Purple Crystal Space", making it an extremely powerful divine beast.
In the original story, Linley was able to kill Seven-star Demon powerhouse at the Middle God stage thanks to the "Soul Stone" bestowed by the Zijing Sovereign and the "Blackstone Space" which is similar to the "Zijing Space". Zijing herself was naturally no less powerful.
"I just wonder what level she has reached in cultivating the Destruction Rule," Andres thought to himself.
If we take Linley's situation as a reference, after Linley integrated the four profound Profound Mystery of the Earth Law and used methods such as the Blackstone Space, his strength had reached the upper level among the Commander leaders.
"If Zijing cultivates her Destruction Rule to the level of Six-star Demon, combined with her Innate Divine Ability and abilities, her strength should be close to the level of Commander." Andres couldn't help but feel a bit wary.
Although Zijing's Destruction Rule may not have reached the level of Six-star Demon, there is no need for it. Andres still does not want to make enemies and will try to make friends as much as possible.
As for the tall woman behind Zijing, she was relatively ordinary. Her Agni, and she possessed a talent at the level of Five-star Demon in the Earth Law. Andres glanced at her information and then stopped paying attention to her.
Zijing was also observing Andres, but when she discovered that Andres was only Middle God, she lost interest and ordered the soldier next to her, "Take him away and find out where he came from. If he just came from the Material Plane, we can take him in as a soldier."
"Yes." A Highgod Soldier nodded in agreement and walked towards Andres.
"You, get out of the Teleportation Array right now, don't bother the master," the Highgod Soldier shouted at Andres.
Andres ignored her and looked at Zijing, asking, "You're the one who controls the Teleportation Array at Mirror Moon Cliff, aren't you?"
Zijing's eyes flickered. "You know this is Mirror Moon Cliff? It seems you didn't come from the Material Plane. Who are you?"
Andres didn't hide anything. "My name is Andres, and I am the controller of the Iron Saber Gorge Teleportation Array."
"You? A Middle God?" Agni, standing behind Zijing, exclaimed in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
Zijing frowned and released her Divine Sense again to carefully examine Andres, trying to see if Andres was concealing his soul aura, but she found nothing.
Andres, aware of their confusion, smiled slightly and said, "At Xing Yi's invitation, I am now heading to the Sea of Stars Mist. I presume you are as well?"
When Zijing heard Andres mention Xing Yi's invitation, she was certain that the other party was indeed the controller of the Teleportation Array.
"He was able to pass Fris's test, so he must be no ordinary Middle God," Zijing thought to herself, not daring to underestimate Andres.
"My name is Zijing. Since we are both heading to the Sea of Stars Mist, why don't we go together?" Zijing said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm thinking about that."
Zijing and Agni walked together into the Teleportation Array where Andres was.
A flash of light, and they traveled together to a Material Plane, then through a material Plane Teleportation Array to Hell.
They were lucky this time; they heard the sound of waves as soon as they came out of the Teleportation Array.
This is a small island, only a few hundred miles in circumference, an extremely rare island in Hell.
Islands in Hell are often millions of miles in size.
The island is surrounded by an endless expanse of pale purple seawater, with a thin mist floating on the surface like silk.
As soon as Andres saw the sea and the mist, he knew he had come to the right place.
As expected, as soon as they appeared in the Teleportation Array, a group of soldiers came to greet them. The leader said respectfully, "Welcome, Lord Zijing and Lord Andres, to the Sea of Stars Mist. Please follow me. Lord Xing Yi is waiting for you two."
The leading soldier leaped into the air, followed by Andres, Zijing, and Agni.
Not far from this small island, there is another much larger island, spanning millions of miles. At a glance, there are many castle buildings, and Highgod Soldier dressed in uniform armor patrol from time to time.
Andres and his companions traveled without hindrance and soon arrived at a black castle in the center of the island.
"Lord Zijing, Lord Andres, please follow me into the castle. Xing Yi and several other lords have already arrived."
The group arrived outside a grand hall. The soldier leading the way pushed open the hall's doors and stepped aside.
"Please come in, sir."
Andres, along with Zijing and Agni, entered the hall.
The main hall was very spacious, with only a large round table placed in the middle.
Several people were already seated around the round table.
Facing the main entrance sat a handsome, almost otherworldly man. He wore a dark purple robe embroidered with stars, and his long, deep purple hair cascaded over his shoulders. He had a short, thin, purple horn on his forehead.
The system in Andres' mind reacted the moment he saw the strange man.
"Target: Xing Yi."
"Talent: Highgod of Destruction Rule (Asura), Innate Divine Ability 'Annihilation'."
"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desires): Lord of Hell".
"Completion condition: Help Xing Yi Rule Hell."
"Completion Reward: Destruction Rule Highgod (Asura), or choose one of the Innate Divine Ability 'Annihilation'."
"He is Xing Yi, the Star Sovereign from the original story." Andres observed secretly.
"In the original work, the Star Sovereign's strength is even greater than that of the Zijing Sovereign. It is estimated that his Innate Divine Ability, physical defense, and soul strength are no weaker than Zijing's."
Andres will not underestimate Xing Yi.
"The Binding Quest is to Rule Hell? It seems that this is the purpose of his invitation to the various Teleportation Array controllers."
Unlike when Teleportation Array first appeared, the controllers of the various Teleportation Array in Hell now possess considerable strength. If one could Commander these people, it would greatly help in ruling the entire Hell.
"I wonder what Xing Yi plans to do?" Andres asked curiously. To be honest, if Xing Yi wanted him to submit, unless Xing Yi had overwhelming power, Andres himself would not be willing, and he felt that no one else would be willing either.
He glanced at the others around the round table.
In the entire hall, apart from Andres and his two companions who had just entered, there were a total of ten powerful individuals. However, only four of them were actually seated around the round table. One of them was Xing Yi, and the other three were Red-Robed Beauty, a Bearded Dwarf, and a Bald Man with blue skin and strange scales on his face.
Besides these four, the other six stood behind them, clearly their subordinates. For example, Fris was standing behind Xing Yi.
