Riding's Decision

A thousand years have passed since the battle between Andres and Ophelia.

Hell, Blood Peak Continent, Skyrite Mountains.

"Haha, it worked! It's finally done!"

Excited laughter rang out in a courtyard.

This courtyard is Riding's residence, and few people usually come here. At this moment, only the Four Divine Beasts and their companions are here.

The four of them, Riding, were very excited because they had finally perfected their Combined Innate Divine Ability.

Moreover, the Combined Innate Divine Ability far exceeded their expectations.

In the original work, the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts of the Lower Sovereign can kill ordinary High Lord God, increasing their power by more than ten thousand times.

"Big brother, with this Combined Innate Divine Ability, who can be our opponent?" Nimo asked excitedly.

"That's right, from today onwards, our Four Divine Beasts Family will be the number one clan in all planes!" Riding said confidently.

Ten thousand years have passed, Four Divine Beasts have made significant progress in the fusion of Profound Mystery, completing three kinds of Profound Mystery fusions. In addition, with the amplification of their physical strength, all four of them have reached the strength of Seven-star Demon.

However, since the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts is Soul Attack, its power is not based on their physical strength.

Even so, the Soul Attack of Six-star Demon has increased ten thousandfold, and is already close to the Soul Attack of Paragon High-God.

Riding didn't believe anyone could withstand it.

Just as the four began to imagine the future glory of the Four Divine Beasts Family—

"Buzz"

Suddenly, they saw an Azure Dragon Shadow hovering in mid-air not far away. In front of the phantom was a tall, aloof young man with long blue hair that fluttered in the wind and his robes that rustled in the wind.

He is Riding's only son, Gaisreisen.

"Could it be..."

Riding suddenly realized what had happened.

"Haha, double happiness!"

A hearty laugh echoed across the sky above the Skyrite Mountains. Riding rushed up to Gaisreisen with a big laugh, and looked at the slowly dissipating Azure Dragon Shadow behind Gaisreisen with great satisfaction.

The moment he saw the Azure Dragon Shadow, he knew that after hundreds of thousands of years, Claude had finally developed the Dragon Transformation Crystal, helping Gaisreisen awaken the Azure Dragon Bloodline.

"Call"

Nimo, Bowen, Lius, and Claude also flew over.

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Brother, now you don't have to worry about Gaisreisen."

Nimo and the others were also happy for Riding.

"Father, my understanding of the Water Law has become much clearer! If I continue cultivating like this, I am confident that I will definitely become Highgod!" Gaisreisen said excitedly.

He is currently only Middle God, and has been stagnant for a long time, but with the awakening of the Azure Dragon Bloodline Awakening, he found that the bottleneck that had been trapping him was easily broken through.

"Good, good, this is my son, Riding!" Riding laughed heartily.

"Riding Reading, I have fulfilled my mission. I will leave the method for refining the Dragon Transformation Crystal behind, and then I should return to Iron Saber Gorge." Claude bowed to Riding and said.

His God Clone came to the Skyrite Mountains to study the Dragon Transformation Crystal. Now that the research is complete, he can finally leave.

Seeing Claude bow, Riding quickly reached out to help him up and said politely, "Mr. Claude, I will never forget your great kindness to me. I hope you can stay in the Skyrite Mountains and become a member of my Four Divine Beasts Family. In the future, your status in the Four Divine Beasts Family will be second only to the four of us. As for that brat Gaisreisen, if he dares to disrespect you, I will personally teach him a lesson!"

Claude was somewhat flustered. "Riding Reading, you flatter me. I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to return to Iron Saber Gorge."

Upon hearing Riding, Reading's smile faded slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said gently, "In that case, I won't insist that Mr. Claude stay. However, I would like to ask Mr. Claude to do me another favor."

"Help?" Claude was somewhat surprised. "Riding Reading, please speak."

Riding pointed at Nimo and the other two and said, "Mr. Claude, since you can research the Dragon Transformation Crystal, I would like you to also research the bloodlines of my younger brothers and sisters and refine a treasure that can activate the bloodlines of their descendants."

"The bloodlines of the three lords?"

Claude glanced at Nimo and the other two, and said with difficulty, "But the three of you do not yet have any offspring."

Of the Four Divine Beasts, only Riding has a descendant Gaisreisen. Although Bowen and Lius have married many wives and concubines, none of them have had any children.

In the Coiling Dragon World, the stronger a race's bloodline, the more difficult it is for them to reproduce.

As for Nimo, she is still unmarried.

Claude's research on the Dragon Transformation Crystal also required the assistance of Gaisreisen; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a God Clone to the Skyrite Mountains.

Nimo and his two companions have no children yet, so even if he wanted to conduct research, it would be difficult for him to do so.

Riding said, "I know, but it's only a matter of time. I know that Mr. Claude's main body is in Iron Saber Gorge, so even if this God Clone stays in the Skyrite Mountains, it won't make any difference. Why don't we just stay here for now?"

"This..." Claude thought for a moment, and finally decided to give the Four Divine Beasts some face.

"Oh well."

"Claude, Mr. Claude!" Riding was overjoyed. "Gaisreisen, quickly take Mr. Claude back to rest. From now on, whatever Mr. Claude needs, we must fulfill it."

"Yes, Father!"

Gaisreisen took Claude back to his mansion in the Skyrite Mountains.

"Brother, we don't have any offspring yet, why are you in such a hurry to have Claude research these things?" Bowen laughed.

Riding said seriously, "It's precisely because you don't have any children yet that I'm anxious. Now that the research on the Dragon Transformation Crystal has been successful, it means that even if our descendants aren't purebred, it's still possible to activate the Divine Beast Bloodline within them. How could the bloodline of our Four Divine Beasts be inferior? We need to adjust our next goal. We don't need to recruit too many outsiders anymore. Instead, we need to increase the number of bloodline members of our Four Divine Beasts Family. No matter how many outsiders there are, they are not as reliable as our own bloodline."

Bowen and the other two understood that Riding meant for them to have more children.

Bowen laughed and said, "Brother, I also want to have my own children, but it's not up to me. The Divine Beast Bloodline are too strong; even the heavens don't allow us to have offspring too easily, and besides—"

He suddenly changed the subject and looked at Nimo: "My third brother and I are both married, but my second sister is still unmarried. She's a real drag on our family!"

Upon hearing this, Nimo immediately glared at him. "Fourth brother, you're asking for it!"

Bowen laughed and immediately dodged behind Riding.

Riding said helplessly, "Second sister, you really should consider it."

Nimo scoffed, "Hmph, if you want to marry me, you'd better be better than me."

Bowen said, "That won't be easy to find, Second Sister. You've already fused three profound Profound Mystery of the Fire Elemental Law. There are only a handful of people in the entire Hell stronger than you. If you include our Combined Innate Divine Ability, there's not a single one left!"

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. In short, if you're not as strong as me, don't even think about marrying me!" Nimo said firmly.

Riding frowned, and just as he was about to speak to persuade them, he saw a Highgod Soldier flying towards them.

"My lords, we have urgent intelligence!"

"Urgent intelligence?"

Upon hearing Riding, the four men, including Reading, felt a pang of anxiety and put aside their concerns about their descendants.

The Four Divine Beasts Family now wields considerable influence, and they are worried that something might have happened somewhere.

The Highgod Soldier flew to them and respectfully said, "My lords, we have just received intelligence about Andres. Please take a look."

He took out two Shadow Projection Crystal Ball directly from his Space Ring.

"Andres?"

Upon hearing this name, the four members of the Riding, including Reading, became even more attentive, all staring intently at the image displayed in the Shadow Projection Crystal Ball.

The Shadow Projection Crystal Ball displayed the scene on Nether Mountain a thousand years ago.

The two Shadow Projection Crystal Ball contain images of Andres killing Teresa and Elvie, two powerful Commander. At the time, there were some Seven-star Demon on the mountaintop who recorded the battle using the Shadow Projection Crystal Ball.

Another scene is of Andres and Ophelia fighting.

Although only Orenth and Youming, along with a few others, were watching the battle from the mountaintop, far more than just them witnessed it.

The commotion from their battle was so great that the ravine-like spatial rift attracted the attention of many powerful individuals.

Many Five-star Demon and Six-star Demon demons on the mountainside, as well as Seven-star Demon who had escaped from the mountaintop, couldn't resist sneaking up the mountain to watch the fierce battle from the shadows.

They also recorded that battle using Shadow Projection Crystal Ball, which was then widely disseminated.

However, the Netherworld and Hell are not the same plane, and it took a thousand years for this news to reach Hell.

The four of them, Riding, watched the two battles with growing alarm.

They were shocked by the terrifying strength of Andres and Ophelia, but what shocked them even more was seeing Andres actually use Black Tortoise's Innate Divine Ability "Spatial Confinement" and White Tiger's Innate Divine Ability "Tiger Roar".

"How is this possible?" Bowen's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Lius also seemed at a loss, not understanding why Andres was able to use his Innate Divine Ability. He looked at his brothers and sisters, hoping they could answer his questions.

But even Riding, whom they trusted most, couldn't explain it all.

"It seems we need to make a trip to Iron Saber Gorge," Riding said in a deep voice. "We need to ask him what happened."

"We should ask him, but brother, what should we do if he doesn't tell us?" Nimo asked.

Bowen and Lius were also looking at Riding.

Riding remained silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them from time to time. After a long period of contemplation, he said solemnly, "Our Innate Divine Ability are our greatest asset. No matter what, we must not allow anyone else to use them, otherwise they will become our greatest threat."

Bowen frowned. "Brother, do you intend to make a move against Andres?"

Nimo said, "Killing him is not difficult. Although he is terrifyingly strong, judging from his fight with Ophelia, his strongest attack is physical attack. His physical defense is very average. Third Brother's 'Tiger Roar' can kill him directly. Moreover, our Combined Innate Divine Ability is Soul Attack, which he may not be able to withstand."

Bowen said, "I disagree with taking action. Yes, we can kill him, but he can also use 'Tiger Roar'. With his physical attack, the four of us can't withstand it. Once any of us falls, we won't be able to use our Combined Innate Divine Ability. If we fight, it will most likely be a lose-lose situation."

Nimo countered, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Bowen shrugged. "I don't know."

Riding glanced at Nimo and the other two, and an idea came to mind. "Third brother is right. Fighting Andres would be very dangerous for us too. However, we cannot let our Innate Divine Ability fall into the hands of outsiders. The best way to deal with this is to make Andres a member of our Four Divine Beasts Family."

Nimo said, "Brother, didn't we try this before? He didn't agree."

"There's another method we haven't tried, and it's also related to you." Riding gave Nimo a meaningful look.

"What does this have to do with me?" Nimo was taken aback at first, not understanding what Riding meant, but soon she realized something, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on her face.

Iron Saber Gorge.

After leaving the Nether Mountain, Andres and Orenth went straight to the Undead Sacred Mountain and returned to Iron Saber Gorge.

Over the course of a thousand years, news of the battle at Nether Mountain spread throughout the Four Supreme Planes, and his fame grew ever greater.

When Gaisreisen successfully awakened the Azure Dragon Bloodline, he also received a message from the system.

"Mission complete: Family Inheritance."

"Completion Rewards: Water Law Highgod (Seven-star Demon), Innate Divine Ability 'Dragon's Roar', and a Main Godhead Level Body."

The system message that suddenly popped up startled Andres, but when he saw the details, he was overjoyed.

"I didn't expect Claude to figure it out so quickly. I thought it would take at least millions of years."

In the original story, Beirut lived for millions of years but still couldn't find a way to activate the "God Devour Rat" bloodline. Andres didn't expect Claude to succeed in researching it in a short time.

Over the years, he had taken Claude's original body to the predecessor of the Yulan Continent — the Qingya Continent Plane —to search for the Blueheart Grass.

Linley awakened his Dragonblood Warrior bloodline using living dragon blood and Blueheart Grass, Andres thought that perhaps this could give Claude some inspiration.

However, there is a difference between awakening the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline and awakening the Azure Dragon Bloodline. Otherwise, Linley wouldn't have waited until he returned to the Skyrite Mountains to awaken the Azure Dragon Bloodline.

Therefore, Andres did not have much hope for Blueheart Grass.

"Claude is a true genius," Andres exclaimed.

Immediately afterward, he chose "Dragon's Roar".

To date, he has acquired three of the Four Divine Beasts' Innate Divine Ability, and he is only missing the last one, Nimo's "Nirvana".

He retrieved Nimo's information, and currently, Nimo's Binding Quest was still "none".

He could only feel helpless about this.

"Does this mean we have to wait for the arrival of Sovereign Spark?"

Given the importance of the Sovereign Spark, he believed he would definitely meet the standards Nimo desired and become her Binding Quest.

However, if that time really comes, Andres will have to find a way to help Nimo seize the Sovereign Spark.

"Never mind, let's not think about these things for now."

He shook his head, setting aside these speculations that had not yet come true.

Just then, Claude appeared outside the gate of his residence.
